Try Schilling’s Best tea and baking powder Governor Lowndes, of Maryland, has announced that the state will present a sword of honor to Commodore Schley, who is a native of Frederick county. During the naval battle at Santiago, in which Cervera’s fleet was destroyed, the Oregon alone filed 1,776 ehells. The destruction caused by some of the shots was fearful. Those crops always pay best which have most water in tiiem, as nature furnishes the water without charge. The farmer who sells potatoes or roots of any kind of fruits sells what is four-fifths water, while most of the solid part of the fruit or root is taken by the leaves from the air. In growing such crops cultivation so as to retain moisture in the soil Is more Important than manures. Whatever deepens the soil enables It to hold more moisture and to grow better those crops which depend on abundant supplies of water for success. It may seem paradoxical, but it Is true that soil made deep by thorough underdraining will be the moistest in time of drought. The inteutor who does away with coal as a fuel for warships and also the necessity for taking on fuel so fre quently will have achieved one of the greatest triumphs of the age. The coal- lug of vessels at sea especially In time of war Is often a most difficult prob- letn. A -L* •» — Apparently methods of coaling have improved but little, and are almost as crude as they were years ago. There perhaps seems but little need In im proving this system when the coaling 1» done at the ship's dock, but at sea the difficulty of accomplishing the feat Is Increased a hundredfold. In the for mer case two or more coal barges are brought alongside of the boat at the wharf and manila fenders are suspend ed over the sides of the vessel to keep the two fronj Injuring each other. Even under these most favorable conditions It takes hours or even days to coal n big ship. The best time the St. Paul could make before she was purchased by the Government was forty hours for taking on 3,000 tons of coal. At sea when a ship needs coal ft gen erally needs it very badly, and the coal must be transferred as soon as a col lier can be brought to the boat, no mat ter what the weather may lie, whether the sea be calm or the waves running mountain high. The collier must lie fastened at both ends to the warship by cables. With these two vessels roll ing and pitching to and from each other this Joining of the two is a dangerous undertaking, for both might be sunk. The work requires the oldest and most | experienced seamen. One set of men is busy keeping the two vessels apart j The first men drop rubber fenders where they are needed and the others, under the direction of an officer, tug at the helm and drop anchors to control the motion of the ship as much as pos sible. The cost Is simply transferring the coal Is enormous. The St. Louis or the Harvard spends over $50,000 In a year for getting coal out of colliers into Its bunkers. For getting the same amount of coal from a collier Into the vessel at sea the cost would be fully double that amount Which THE OLDEST VOLl’NTKEH. What Mrs. Nell Hurst has to Say About It.

It Is said by some that we owe the fife—“ear-piercing,” as Shakspeare calls It—to the Swiss, and Sir Janice Turner, who busied himself In writing on military matters, names It the "Alle- malne whistle.” In France It was em- ■ ployed at least as early as 1534, in which year It was ordered by Francis I. that each band of l.CMiO men was to have four drums and two fifes. A few years later, In England, we find "drommee and ffyffes” Included in the muster of London citizens. Shak- speare refers to the musician, not the Instrument, when he speaks In the "Merchant of Venice” of “the vile Rqueallng of the wry-necked fife.” An old writer observes, indeed, that a "fyfe is a wry-neckt musician, for he looks away from his Instrument.” ! About the reign of James II. the fife lost its popularity for a time.
