A larpo proportion of thf ollicers at Annapolis refused to flRht tho old HnR, thcuRh some of them were men of southern Wrth, but most of th" southTnera there espoused tho muse of the confedeiacy. MERRIMAC ONLY A BATTERY. Th Mfrrlmae vvns tho old United Slates fiisate of that name lebullt. She vns remodeled ho that she was really only a 11 ntlng battery, deflates Major Long. She was armored to tho water line but not hi low It Sho drew twen-ty-threp feet of watet, but she had such a load on her upper works In tho armor that bhe carried that she was tophcavy and could neer hao lived u iourIi sea. Hhe was a steam vessel, ot course, Wit Inclined to be unwieldy and slow and awkwnul In the handling. She did not enjoy tho unlimited con iioVnce of her new," savs Major Long. We weie afiald she might tret a. rum or a hot below the aimor belt nnd In that event wo undtistood tint our ihance of escape would be small. Wo sdiui'll have had no moic chance of making land than had tho crew of the Cumberland, which wo sunk the day 1 efre, and which went down with her flap up, lnr guns tiring at us nnd her crew chceilnsr to the last. If the Moni tor had i mimed us there, or had been nble to depiess her puns so ns to land a shot or two there, It would have been no drawn battle. "There aio pome singular misappre hensions about tho light." says Major Iiong "It is a Renernl liellef that these two bhips steamed about in Hampton Itnads, tacit maneuvering to find the other at disadvantage, sometimes gr.tppllng. almost, and thing all the time, that. In fact, their guns kept up n continuous roar. This was not so FIGHT "WAS SLOW. The Monitor arrived In Hamilton Roads on tlu night of March S. On that day the Merripi.ic had been de molishing the fedeial wooden ships nt lnr pleasure She was proof against their piojeotlles and could shatter them with shot and lam at will. On that day she sunk the Cumberland, bullied Mie Congiess and loft tl e Min nesota aground, a picked prey for the fallowing day. On moving out to re new her woik the next mornlnur she found herself opposed by the Monitor and tin battle ensued; tho wooden ships, tho helpless victims of tho day before, being simply spectators. ' The fight lasted sK hours, but It was not melodranintlo cannonading. In the six limits the Monitor tired only fortv-ono shots and the Merriinac only l"oity-sl, a. total of eighty-seven. The Monitor carried two guns, the Merri inac el -veil, so that the pieces avetaged less than seven shots each. There wire tines when several reports came within the space of a few minutes, but this did not often happen. ' We had orders to firo whenever wc could bring a gun to "bear, regardless of other circumstances. The only qual ification of this order was that the shots be delivered nt the shortest pos sible i.ange Much time was consumed In maneuvering the shins, etch trying to get as muc'i advantage as possible while allowing the least to Its adver sary. The Monitor's two guns were placed side by side, but were never tire I blmultaneonslv, no matter how good the opportunity The Merrhnac's eleven guns were plated four on a side, two at the how and one commanding tho stern She might have fired btoad sides, but never did during tho whole engagement, ptlnclpally because tho Monitor was so small a target that tho broadsi U guns could not lie brought to bear on hei at once. BOTH VESSELS HANDICAPPED. ' I rovldi'iiip, or late, or blind luck, or man's lack of foic sight, so ananged the ummuiiiiion and aimunient of both ships that i. either one could win on that das. The Monitor had two smoothhote shell guns, not adapted to the high iucsuie pioduied by the use ot solid shut, mil which possibly would have been dangeious If solid shot weie used, unless tho powder thargo were mortl Jied She was under ctrlct orders from the ordnance department not to exceed fifteen pounds of powder, nut she usd solid shot "The Menlmac had a line nrmament of large tallber rlllis, and could burn any amount of powder la them, but she had not expected to do battle with another Ironclad, and as shells wero far more effective against wooden ships than wcro solid shot, she carried noth ing else "The result of those lnadaptatlons was a singular inefficiency In both ships The Monitor could peg solid shot at the Merrlmac, but at only abjut halt the proper velocity.' Some of these shot started out seums, and we had borne bent armor-plates, but none of these Injuries were serious. It happened that th Monitors lightning never struck us tv. Ico In the pnnie place. On the other hund, the Merrlmac, while al le to load powder ct.ough to glvo her chells the Mglur inius.1 velocity, could not j.vko a telling blow .rPh tliem ugulntt tho Monitor's smooth Iron tur ret, hectics they wero deficient in WPlt,h'. They hit th mar!,., but they shatterel as harmlessly aa snowballs would break against a barn. They were percussion sliellB and broke on contHct. The one that hurst outtlde the grated prrl tlirom;li which Com mands Nor.lt i, was looking, was" the only .iii- that Inflicted damn?! of any cnnspiiucuce, nnd ft hutt the man, not the Monitor. Jf lh MoMimnc had inwd nllil nhnt. ns did the Monitor, there Is little les son to doubt thut nlic would have won. The Monitor's turret could hardly have stood the hammetlng If the Monitor, on the other hand, had eairlel guns equal to thos we had, so that she could have hurled her solid shot with the greatest possible force, she would have cut its to plpivs. Her projcctil's would ha"e ill.'oi through our nritinr ai.d dismounted our Run, kill-,J cut men nnd wrecked our ma chinery. But none of thesj thing? worn to be. rn'Sivs in iiki: iwfi'U.m. "This wan one of the world's great naval battles In which both sides wore tlte same uniform. The men on the Merrlmac wero largely from tho United States navy, and still wore tho blue. Another reason for retaining this color was the fact that It alone seemed to stand the action of salt water; at least no satisfactory substituto had been found for It. "Tho similarity of uniforms compli cated our nluns in the event ot our boarding tho Monitor and taking her by a hnnd-to-hnnd fight, ns we expected to do. in such a mlv-tip there would he little chance to distinguish friend from, foe. We prepared to board, how ever, and marked ourselves by tying on whlto sashes or whlto cloths around our left arms. I wore a sash Once we might have boarded the Monitor. It was when we made a feeble effort to ram her, and failed, our commander fearing the effect of a hard shock on the Merrlmac's frame nnd stopping against the Monitor with a gentlo bump that hurt no one. We slid apart, firing a shot or two, but there was no ramming and no boarding. CLOSE CALL ON MERJUMAC. "During the progress of tho fight we learned to get our bodies out of the way of tho Monitor's fire. We soon grew expert at judging her Intentions and could tell when a shot was coming and about where It was likely to hit us. We cleared our ports whenever she was about to pay us one of those com pliments. Our poor old smokestack, however, couldn't dodge and It was riddled with shot, large and small In addition to the perforations perpetrated by the fleet tho day before till It was mostly holes. This Interfered with our futnace draught considerably, but did no vital damage. "I was out on deck but once. Our pilot-house, well forward on our low freeboard, had been taken away as a needless and cumbrous affair, and the commander occupied a hatchway w here It had stood, thrusting his head above the deck now and then to keep a sur vey of the scene. I crept out of a port and carried word of some kind to him. A Yankee gunner on one of the ships came near .saving ino the trouble of a leturn to my station, missing me not over four feet with a small piece nt good long rnnge. I had been feeling very brave, but I lost no time getting under cover. "It N another erroneous Impression that the Monitor was all that saved Washington nnd New Yoik nnd the other federal bcaports from the Merrl mac. The Merriinac could never have ' ?" r5 Forward to Headquarters National Volunteer Reserve, Washington Building, New York. S The Un i ted States of America ' National Volunteer Reserve. S'.

She dared not try the short ocean voyage and she drew too much water; besides, which sho must have eventually succumbed to the pounding she would have got from tho federal fleet. She could never have lived tiuouch the punishment of the guns ot Fortiesa Monroe If she had tried to go to Washington, and tho shallow Potomac would never have let her cct there. She would have failed In the same manner to reach New York. MONITOR'S CHANCH LOST. "She could not even have defended the confedointe capital ngalniit the Monitor If the Monitor had chosen to go there. Tho Monitor's light draught would have permitted her to proceed up the James river and to shell Illeh mond Into ruins. For some reason she did not ombiace this chance nnd in the meantime the confederates blocked the river with obstructions and torpe does nnd that movement thereafter be came Impossible. The Merrlmac was a terror to wooden ships, but she was not a Bhlp hot self, in the full sense of the term nothing more than a float ing battery." Major Long was in the blockade-running service of the confederacy nnd did duly In Its navy In other capacity -part of the time In engineering work till he was captured near the clone of the war. Soon after his release at the close of hostilities he took a placo In the engineer corps of the United States and he Is there still. He Is now assistant engineer In charge of the construction of tho eastern ejection of the Hennepin canal. TO CONSTRUCT A HOTHT.D. Flower-growers who enjoy bringing Into bloom different varieties of flowers earl ier In the season than their less ambi tious friends will find In a hotbed of mod erate size a great help. In it seed may be sown direct, nnd the plants allowed to remain until sufficiently largo and ma tured to transplant Into tho open grounl or to pot. First select a location whero tho sur faco of the soil Is well drained, and where tho bed may havo a southern, sunny ex posure. Then a frame must be construct ed of dimensions to suit tno manor, uui governed largely by tho size and num ber of rash to be ustd on top. The height of tho frnmo ut the back should bo thirty-six Inches, and at the front, thirty inches, the sides sloped to suit, so that tho sash, when laid on tho top, will fit tho edges closely and be at a good slant to shed the rain. This frame may bo con structed of very ordinary, cheap, rough lumber, ns little or no part of It Is ex posed to view. When tho frame Is com pleted, from a stable haul a quantity of good, fairly dry manure, and till the bed with It. After the bed Is filled, trod tha manure down as solidly as possible, which should reduce the pile to a depth of about eighteen Inches. If necessary add moro manure to make the pile In the bed eigh teen Inches all over, nnd level It as wtll ns possible. It Is qulto necessary that thp manure bo packed solidly In tho bed, and It Is better to have It moderately dry, as the heat will be of a most last ing character and not so fierce If put In In that state. The bed Is then ready for tho soil, which should bo of a light, fairly rich, and somewhat porous nature. Placo over the manure a layer of soil about four Inches deep, not more, and smooth tho surface over evenly. Bank manure around tho bed on tha outsldo to help hold the heat and keep out tho cold, und then place tho sash on top. After a few days tho temperaturo will begin to rise, and tho bed will be ready for operation. The seed may be sown directly Into tho soil In such n manner us may suit tho operator. Tho temperaturo must be regulated by raising and lowering tho sash for ventilation, and this part must bo closely wutched, espe cially on bright sunny days when the heat generated through the glass will be considerable. Keep the temperature as near sixty degrees ns possible, which is a good mark for most plants. Woman's Homo Companion. ss.

THE PROBLEM SOLVED THE NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY TE8TED. Itoiultn ol thn Ttt In Vnrlons Form of Dripsptln. Chronic Indigestion or dyspepsia, while a very common trouble, has for somo time been looked upon by able physicians as a serious thing, and that no time should be lost In treating It properly at the start, becnuse recent researches have shown that the most serious, fatat and Incurablo diseases havo their origin In simple dyspepsia or Indigestion. Diabetes Is simply one form of In digestion, the sugar and starchy food not being assimilated by the digestive organs. In Brlght's dlseaso tho albu men Is not properly assimilated. While consumption and dyspepsia nre twin dleeaseR, und it Is beyond ciucs tlon that dyspepsia makes a fertile soil for the seeds of consumption. But the trouble has been to find a remedy that could he depended upon to euro dyspepsia, ns It la notoriously obstinate and difficult to cuio. This has been the question which has puzzled physicians and dyspeptics alike, until the question was solved three years ago by the appcaranco of a new dyspepsia cure In the medical world known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which It waB claimed was as a certain, reliable cure for every form of stomach trouble. Physicians, however, would not ac cept such statements without first Riv ing the new remedy many tests and carefully observing results. For three years the remedy has been thoroughly tested In every section of the country and with surprising and satisfactory results. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be honestly claimed to be a specific, a radical lasting cure for Indigestion In the various forms of acid dyspepsia or sour stomach, gas or wind on stomach, too much bile, undue fullness air pres sure after eating and similar symp toms resulting from disordered diges tion. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets were not placed before the public until this three years' trial left no doubt as to their value and they have recently been plnced In tho trade and can bo found on sale at all druggists at the nomlnnl price of 50 cents per packnge. No extravagant claims are made for tho remedy. It will not cure rheuma tism, pneumonia, typhoid fever nor anything but Just what It Is claimed to cure and that Is every form of stom ach trouble. No dieting Is necessary, good whole some food and plenty of It and you may rest assured that Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets will digest It. Druggists claim for it that It Is a pleasure to recommend It to dyspep tics, because It gives such universal satisfaction.
