Furniture and supplies for Uncle
| Sum's new war vessels cost a mint of
' money, says llene Bache. To lit out
! one of these ships for a cruise is a big
ger jol> than equipping a tirst-class
hotel. Here is a floating fortress, as
long as two city blocks, with all mod
ern conveniences and complete restau
rant facilities, lighted thioughout by
electricity—a gigantic lighting ma
chine and military barracks combined.
Her steel walls, bristling with guns,
shelter a small army of men. The
New York, for example, has a crew
numbering besides forty marines
and forty-live ollicers. To feed them
all for a twelvemonth, at the Govern
inenl's rate of allowance, costs ftiO,
ouo.
On going into commission such a
ship must be furnished throughout
from the kitchen, which is as com
plete as that of a great city hostelry,
to the captain's cabin. She carries
large stocks of stationery, hardware
and apothecaries' goods, and is pro
vided with tools for all sort of trades.
Everything conceivable that may be
needed for purposes of war and peace
is supplied, because on the high seas
no shops or factories are accessible.
Usually the vessel is provisioned for
only three months, because there is
no room to stow more.
Every man in the navy, from the
last boy shipped up to the admiral'
lias an allowance of thirty cents a day
for rations, which he may draw either
in food or in money. The paymaster
of the ship has charge of all the pro
visions, which are dealt out by hie
"yeoman," who is in turn assisted by
the Jack o' Dust. The person last
named attends to opening the barrels
Hiid packages. Coll'ee and sugar arc
served out once in ten days, Hour
every four days and meats daily.
While in port fresh provisions are
furnished, each man receiving one
puund of fresh bread, one and one
quarter pounds of fresh meat and one
pound of fresh vegetables per diem.
These take the place of the ordinary
ration, only tea and coll'ee being pro
vided in addition. The allowance is
at all times so liberal that the enlisted
men cannot possibly consume the
whole of it; so they lake part of it in
cash which they utilize in ways pres
ently to be described.
The methods of housekeeping on
board of a ship of war are very interest
ing. All of the officers and men are
divided up into little clubs, each of
which has its cook and manages its
owu all'airs. These clubs are called
" messes." There is the captain's
mess, the wardroom mess, the junior
officers' mess, the warrant officers'
mess, the petty officers' mess and the
men's messes. Every officers' mess
has a caterer, who is elected periodi
cally from its own membership.
The captain, because there is only
one of him, must cater for himself.
He messes by himself in his cabin and
eats iu lonely state, save when he
chooses to invite officers to dine with
him. If the vessel is a flagship he
may mess with the admiral or not,
just as he chooses. The admiral has
his own cabin, of course. The captain
lias bis own steward, his private cook
and two cabin boys. The admiral lias
a like stall" of servants, with perhaps
an extra boy. It must be understood
that the " boys" on a war vessel are
enlisted men at least twenty-one years
old.
The men are divided up iuto messes
of twelve usually. Each such club
elects its own caterer and chooses one
of its members for cook, with the ap
proval of the executive officer. The
most important requirement for this
culinary post is ability to make bread.
Good breadmakers are in great de
maud for such positions on board ship.
The mess cook receives from the mess
wages equal to the money equivalent
of from one to two rations monthly—
that is to say from $9,110 to SIB.GO a
month. This salary is so much in ad
dition to his pay from the Govern
ment and renders the office very de
sirable. The incumbent draws the
rations from the paymaster and pre
pares them for the table. But, be
cause the allowance is greater than is
needed, be takes only eight rations in
food and the remaining four in money.
The cash thus obtained goes to form
what is called the mess fund, to which
each man usually adds about $-
monthly. The mess fund pays the
cook and provides all sorts of luxuries,
such as sweets, condensed milk and
many other good things that can he
purchased when ill port.
The messes are organizations of
military character. All of them are
"Hew to the Line. Let the Chips I-'.'i 1! "Where they jVlay."
under the direction of tlie e.veeutivt
ollieer of the ship. That personage,
alwavs the senior line ollieer on hoard.
presides at the wardroom mess; the
I other members of that eating club oc
cupy places at the table in the order
of their rank. Lino otlicers sit on the
starboard side and stall' ollicers on the
port side. But the caterer pro hm
sits at the foot of the table. Though
in ordinary matters informal, strict
etiquette governs all essentials in tlie
mess. The executive officer has au
thority, to put a stop to any dispute
or offensive conversation.
A description of the management of
the wardroom mess will serve, with
few modifications, fur the ollicers'
messes. The caterer buys the provi
sions. lie gets them oil shore when
the ship is in port. Except when
compelled to <lo so, lie does not pur
chase from tlie vessel's stores, hut
draws the rations from the mess in
cash. However, lie does usually ob
tain from the paymaster what he
needs in tlie way of cooking butter,
j cooking sugar, rice, beans, pork and
canned meats, paying for them in
money, because these articles, as dis
pensed by l T nele Sam, are just as good
of their kind as can be got and are
furnished at about cost. Members of
the mess pay their bills monthly to
the caterer. The cost of board to each
officer in the wardroom is usually
about |,!O a month. It is somewhat
less on the Asiatic station, the markets
in that part of the world being cheaper.
There is a balance left over in the ca
terer's hands, which goes to make tip
the mess fund. This fund in the
wardroom will sometimes amount to
as much as SI,<XX). It provides for
the replacement of crockery, for en
tertaining by the mess while in port
and for all sorts of unusual expenses.
Every man in the navy, from the
admiral down to thcjack o' dust, must
supply his own bedclothes and mess
furniture, such as crockery, etc. To
each officer a mattress and pillow are
allowed, and to each sailor a ham
mock. Until recently the Govern
ment has furnished nothing in the
way of table ware, except for the cap
tain, who is provided with enough
things of the kind to set up a good
sized household, including a dozen of
everything. Within the last two
months, however, all silver-plated
ware required for the wardroom has j
been allowed by the Bureau of Equip
ment. To start a wardroom mess re
quires an investment of SSO to $75 for
each officer. At the end of a cruise all
of the china, linen, etc- is sold for
what it will bring—usual*- about ten
per cent, ol the original cost. The
proceeds are divided among the officers
who owned the property.
The kitchen of a ship of war is un
der the direction of the ship's cook
whose functions are like those of a
chief in a great hotel. He is an im
portant man in his way, and his re
sponsibilities are great. The culinary
department is on a considerable scale.
In addition to the ordinary ship's
kitchen or galley, the New York has
three ranges—one for the admiral,
another for the captain, and a third
for the wardroom mess. In the gal
ley all the cooking is done for the
other officers and for the men. The
various mess cooks serve merely as
assistants. They prepare the meats,
soups, breads, etc., for the tire, and the
ship's cook does the rest.
All waste grease, empty barrels and
boxes from the paymaster's store
room, and such refuse, are sold by the
executive officer, the proceeds going
to make up what is called the "slush
fund." This money provides reading
matter for the crew, extra music for
the band, etc. The slush or grease
used formerly to be a perquisite of the
ship's cook, and the gale of it added
largely to bis pay; but improved
methods of cookery allow compara- J
tively little waste in this shape. Just
as smoke is said to be a symptom of
imperfect combustion, so slush is a
symptom of imperfect cooking.
A Sturtliiig Statement.
Prof. Chekly, a medical authority
of Philadelphia, has created consterna
tion in decent society by saying that
American people use too much soap
and water, and that they bathe alto
gether too frequently. He makes the
astounding and incredible statement
that bathing with soap and water is 10
per cent, more injurious than any
other form of stimulation. We short
en our lives, it seems, by a too liberal
application of soap and water. This,
if they believe it, will he a cruel blow
to the philanthropists who have seen j
in the free bath a powerful reformatory !
agency. On the other hand, the fact
that a very large portion of the human
race prefers to remain extremely dirty
will be less discouraging.

SPRAGUE IN ASHES.

i
BUSINESS PORTION OF THE TOWN
DESTROYED BY FIRE.
I.oss liver a Million llMildreds of
People Were Rendered Homeless
land Destitute—A l.rnpliie Ac
count of tlic Disaster.
A dispatch from the scene of disas
ter dated Saturday states that at noon
on that day a fire broke out in
Bryant's chop and feed mill on Rail
road Avenue. The department re
sponded promptly, but the blaze was
quickly fanned into a roaring furnace,
and the fire boys were driven back
from the scene almost as soon as they
arrived. With lightning rapidity the
Dames leaped from one building to
another, and inside of five minutes it
was seen that the entire town was
threatened.
As the tlames reached the corner
of G street they forked, one branch
going north of the railroad track and
consuming on its way the Northern
Pacific grain warehouse, the National
hotel, and the entire row of wooden
buildings to the corner of 15 street.
There it turned oil' to the Pacific ho
tel, and the row of wooden buildings
in the rear of it. From there it
jumped to the old headquarters build
ing, and Porak's brewery, totally de
stroying the latter and the proprietor's
residence.
Meanwhile, the southern fork, with
equal rapidity, consumed the build
ings on Railroad avenue. First and
Second streets, including the Com
mercial hotel, the Herbring opera
house, the city hall, It. Newman A
Co.'s and the Masonic hall.' From
there the flames leaped to the build
ings west of the car-shops, ami in
another minute they burst forth into
(lames. It was impossible to do any
thing to save the railroad buildings,
for the water pipes had burst in that
part of the city.
Five minutes later a terrific explo
sion occurred as the oil tanks burst
and the timbers and flames rose high
in the air.
The lire was cheeked on the west
side hv the brick buildings of tlie First
National hank and of Jensen, King A
Co., the occupants of these buildings
placing wet blankets over the windows
ami lighting the flames desperately.
Mayor Sanderson at this time ar
rived from Medical Lake, and ordered
ttie building of Ben Ettleson, on the
corner of 0 and First streets, blown
up with dynamite. This was done,
and the entire row of business houses
on C street, between First and Second,
was saved.
The flatties here took a southeaster
ly direction and destroyed tlie drug
store of \V. P. Putnam, the Masonic
hall, the county jail, the old opera
house, the residences of It. It. Joues
and E. H.Stanton. The flames were
at this point checked by the blowing
up with dynamite of the old opera
house and the row of trees in front of
H. \V. Bonnes' residence, and a
deluge of water.
The lire swept east as far as the
stock-yards, completely obliterating in
its course every residence and business
house in that portion of the city.
Fully :120 acres of land were burned
over, every building thereon being
completely wiped out.
The scenes at the fire were inde
scribable. Families rushed hither and
thither wilti household goods and
wearing apparel, seeking some place
to deposit them. A few minutes later
the safe place had become a dangerous
one, aud they would grasp what they
could and leave the rest to he de
stroyed l>y the devouring flames.
Fully one-fifth of the 3,001) inhabit
ants of the city lost not only their
household goods, but most of their
wearing apparel.
The excitement was terrific, espe
cially at the time of the burning of
the armory of troop A, when the am
munition was discharged and bullets
were whizzing out through the win
dows, frightening the crowd and driv
ing them hack to the next block. Al
though the fire raged with great fury
and traveled with remarkable velocity,
there were very few accideuts.
Archie Macintosh, a blacksmith,
was knocked down by falling timbers
and before be could be rescued was se
verely burned about the face, neck
and arms. James Montgomery, a
young brother of Foreman Montgom
ery, broke bis leg in jumping from one
of the engines 011 the turntable.
Charles Moore, a member of the tire
department, stepped into a hole, back
of the roundhouse, and sprained his
ankle so badly that he had to he car
ried away.
The prisoners in the county jail
were released when the tire was about
one block away, and they did excellent
work in assisting the neighboring
business-houses to take their goods to
a place of safety, but after the tire was
under control they disappeared.
Among the first buildings to go was
tiie Northern Pacific railroad staiiou.
As many of the books and papers as
1 possible were taken to a place of safe
ly, iiml Operator Young lost no time
in connecting the wires in one of the
fields casl of town, where, seated on
an iron wheelbarrow, with the tele
graph instrument on a wooden box,
lie sent and received messages as rap
idly as possible.
The scenes at the burning of the
roundhouse were calculated to alarm
and excite even the coolest. Flames
rose to a height of fully 100 feet, and
seemed bursting from every portion of
the roof at the same instant. Work
men lost many dollars' worth of tools.
They trade desperate ellbrts to save
them, hut were driven back by the
flames. It is estimated that fully
.fa,OlK) worth of tools belonging to the
workmen were destroyed, upon which
there was no insurance. Engine
after engine was run out from the
roundhouse only to be met by the ad
vancing Dames, and the driver obliged
to jump and Dee for bis life. Twenty
four locomotives were destroyed, only
seven being saved.
Four hours after the fire started, the
j town presented a scene of utter deso
| lation. A few smouldering ruins
alone marked the spot of what had
been the prosperous city of Spragtte.
Hundreds are homeless, and the
losses will aggregate $1,2.">0,00t). The
town was almost destitute of food, and
Ma vor Sanderson has sent messages
to the leading cities appealing for aid.
The people are appalled by their
frightful losses, and it will be several
days before they will know whether to
try to rebuild the city or not.
A lIOROLOGICAL WONDER.

■ n Killed l»> a Kusslaii role.
St. Louis Republic.
The prize wonder in the shape of a
clock is the invention of a Russian I'ole
named Uoldfudon. The inventor is a
clock maker of Warsaw and boasts that
be worked over 2,000 days on the time
keeping oddity. The clock represents
a railway station, with waiting rooms
for travelers, telegraph and ticket of
fices and a very protty and natural
platform, well lighted and having in
its center a flower garden and a spout
ing fountain. There are also signal
boxes, lights, switches, water tanks —
in fact, everything used in conjunction
witli a well regulated railway station
There is a dial in the center tower,-
which shows time at New York, Peking,
Warsaw ami London. Every quarter
of an hour the station begins to show
signs of life. First all of the little
tigures of telegraph operators begin to
work their machines, the head au
tomaton going through the form of
sending a dispatch to the effect that
" the line is clear." Then the door
opens, and upon the platform appear
the station master and his assistants.
Next a long line of little tigures file up
to the miniature ticket office.
After this the porters appear, carry
ing luggage, the bell rings, and in
stantly a miniature train dashes out of
a tunnel and halts before the platform
of the station house. While the train
is waiting a miniature figure tests the
wheels and axles with a liny hammer,
another pumps water into the tank of
the engine, while a third busies him
self stowing away small lumps of coal
in the silver-plate tender. There is one
signal of the bell, whereupon the door
of the single coach opens, and the
little figures slide in on an almost in
visible wire, the opening closing after
them. A second tap of the hell is the
signal for the wheel tester, waterman
and fuel carrier to retire into the sta
tion house.
After the third signal the whistle
gives two toots, and the train quickly
disappears iu a tunnel opposite to the
one from which it emerged five minutes
before. When the train is out of sight,
the station master and his assistants
leave the platform, the doors close be
hind them, and they all retire to the
other side of the station house, where,
at the expiration of 15 minutes, the
train again appears, and the passengers
file out and seat themselves in the
building preparatory to taking another
trip around the station house.

CARE OF THE SICK.
SOME SUGGESTIONS FROM AN
EMINENT AUTHORITY.
I'Cie Preparation of food and Drink
for ll,e Sick - Wiiiit will Aid and
Wlial Kelard foil valeseenee.—
Pacts tliuc Will (Save Doctor's
■tills.
Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette.
In acute intlammatory rheumatism,
meat in any form is to be avoided,
while fruit, green vegetables, gruels,
and vegetable soups are likely to prove
beneficial. Hysterical subjects need a
generous meat diet, and should avoid
spirituous and fermented liquors.
Consumptives require a liberal diet,
and should partake freely of sub
stances rich in fat, as meats and prep
arations of cream or milk. In diabetes,
the diet should be highly nourishing
and varied, and should include all
meats —excepting liver—and vegeta
bles not rich in 6tarcli or sugar; while
all starchy and saccharine foods, malt
liquors and wines are to be avoided.
In diseases of the heart, a dry, nourish
ing diet is most conducive to the com
fort of the invalid, as liquids are ab
sorbed slowly; the table should be
generous, but stimulants and strong
coffee should he excluded, as they
readily excite the heart's action.
Before presenting the various re
ceipts and formulas available for pre
paring special varieties of food and
drink for the sick and infirm, we would
call attention to the fact that so-called
" dieting" can easily he carried to ex
tremes, and that due nourishment
may thus lie withheld from bodies and
organs in which vitality is running
low. Referring to this subject, the
late Prof. Gross, of Philadelphia—to
whose utterances the weight of au
thority has always been accorded—
once said:
" The diet of the sick room has
slain its thousands and tens of thons
ands. ilroths, and slops, and jellies,
and custards, and ptisans are usually
as disgustiug as they are pernicious.
Men worn out by disease and injury
must have nutritious and concentrated
food. The ordinary preparations for
the sick are, in general, not only not
nutritious, but inspid and flatulent.
Animal soups are among the most ef
ficient supporters of the exhausted
system, and every medical man should
know how to give directions for their
preparation. The life of a man is Ins
food. Solid articles are, of course,
withheld in acute diseases in the ear
lier stages; but when the patient be
gius to convalesce, they are frequently
home with impunity, and greatly pro
mote recovery. All animal soups
should ho made of lean meat, and
their nutritious properties, as well as
their flavor, may be much increased
by the addition of some vegetable sub
stances, as rice or barley."
The following rules, suggested by
Dr. Napheys, should always be ob
served in preparing, cooking and serv
ing food for the sick:
All the utensils employed should be
scrupulously clean. Never make a
large quantity of one thing at a time.
Serve everything in as tempting and
elegant a form as possible. Put only
a small quantity of an article on a
dish at a time. Keep milk aud other
delicacies on ice iu warm weather.
Never leave food about a sick room.
Prevent, as far as possible, the odor of
food iu process of preparation from
reaching the sick room. Never otl'er
beef tea or broth with the smallest
particle of fat or grease on it, nor milk
that is sour, nor meat or soup that is
turned, nor an egg that is bad, nor
vegetables tbat are underdone.
Milk is justly held in high esteem
as an article of diet for the sick. As a
rule, it is agreeable to the palate and
easy of digestion; still, in order to in
sure its highest usefulness, due man
agement is necessary. A simple fresh
milk diet is not only monotonous,
but frequently occasions trouble.
Biliousness may ensue aud gastric and
intestinal irritation supervene; while
the purity and innocuousness of fresh
cow's milk may many times be ques
tioned. Only milk recently drawn
from the udder should bo used in the
sick room, and, ou the score of safety,
this should he boiled as soon as re
ceived and set in a cool place. As a
nourishing beverage, this boiled milk
may he served either cold or luke
warm, and for weak stomachs may be
greatly improved by the addition—
when administered—of an equal
quantity of carbonated water.
(Conclusion next week. I
HARD TASK KOK MCKINI,EY. —Gov-
ernor McKinley is having a tough
time of it making the taritl* the para
mount issue, and if wages continue to
advance under the new law, so far
from the tariff becoming the para
mount issue it will go out of politics
altogether, as it did after the passage
of the Democratic taritl' of 1840.
Louisville Times.

Bellefonte, Fa., Watchman.
The supporters of the McKiuley
policy are driven to desperate straits
by the prosperous condition of the
country. Instead of the financial dis
tress and business prostration, which
they predicted as the result of a Dem
ocratic tariff, they find their calarai
tious prophesy refuted by an easy
financial condition and a revival of
activity iri every branch of industry.
They are abashed by such a sequel to
their calamity howl.
Upon the first dawn of the indus
trial restoration, following in the wake
of the Wilson bill, they endeavored to
make light of the reports of factories
resuming work and wages increasing.
They represented it as being merely
the invention of Democratic newspa
pers. But when this could no longer
be successfully denied they attributed
the improvement to the effect of last
year's election and the hope thereby
inspired among manufacturers that
the McKiuley tariff would be restored.
But the absurdity of this became so
apparent that they were forced to re
sort to another line of reasoning, and
now they claim that the Republicans
are entitled to the credit for the good
which the Wilson tariff is doing the
country. They represent that if it
had not been for the efforts of Repub
lican congressmen to defeat and ob
struct the measure there is no telling
what the " free traders" would have
put into it for the destruction of the
industries and the ruiu of the coun
try. It having turned out to be so
beneficial a measure, in spite of their
opposition and evil predictions, they
would not like to make it appear that
it is not to be attributed to the Demo
crats. By a singular system of logic
they advance the claim that because
they did all they could to defeat the
Wilson tariff its good etl'ects are to be
entirely ascribed to tbem.
Tliis claim won't stand the test of
reasonable examination. If they
would have had their way not a duty
on a single article would have been
reduced, but it is seen that in those
industries in which the duties were
cut down thirty, forty and even fifty
per cent, such as steel, iron, woolen,
and cotton fabrics, tin and a number
of other articles that might be men
tioned, the revival is the most marked
and the increase grows the greatest.
When it appears that the restoration
of prosperity is the most pronounced
in the line of manufacturers from
which the largest amount of duty was
removed, it is singular logic that would
credit that result to Kepublican oppo
sition to the reduction of duties.
The New Campaign ot Education.
The first campaign of education on
the tariir was one of argument. It
carried the country for reform, but
had no practical effect because a Re
publican Senate blocked the way.
The present campaign of education
is one of experience—the best school
master. Logic may fail to convince,
sophistries may deceive, eloquence
may beguile, but object-lessons in
struct. Hard facts are not easily got
over. The country is seeing for itself
the operation and effects of a tariff re
formed in part, and the demonstration
is more effective than all the speeches
that were ever made or all the articles
that were ever written.
Wool was made free, as it was for
forty years in this country anil lias
always been in every other manufac
turing country in the world. The
duties on woolen manufactures were
correspondingly reduced. Are the
farmers J ruined? Are our woolen
mills given over to the owls and the
muskrats? Have wages goue down to
the " pauper level of Europe."
quite the contrary. Withiu a month
there has been an average rise in
price of wool of two cents A pound.
The price of sheep is increasing. Idle
mills have started up on full time.
Thirty-eight new factories were con
tracted for in the tirst six months of
this year, against only seventeen in
the same period last year. The wages
of woollen operatives have been volun
tarily increased from 10 to 12 per
cent. And the people are getting
more and better and cheaper cloth
ing.
The duties on iron ore and on coal
were reduced nearly oue-lialf. The
iron industry has not been so tlourish
ing in years as it is to day, aud wages
in it everywhere advanced.
Tin ore was made free and the duty
on tin-plates reduced one-half. The
industry is increasing and prospering
as never before.
The duties on cottons were reduced.
Seventy-three new mills were built or
contracted for during the tirst half of
this year. The great factories arc run
ning full time with increased wages.
The brick building in South Aber
deen, erected in boom days, burned to
the ground last week. 11 had never
been occupied except for school pur
i poses.
