FIRE-ARMs.-Small arms were contriv-
cd by Schwartz, A. d. 1878; they were
brought to England about 1883. Fire
arms were prodigious rarity in Ireland
in 1889, when six Ruskets were sent
from Germany as a present to the Earl
of Kildare, who was then chiefgovernor.
Muskets were first used at the siege Of
Rbegen. in 1925. The Spaniards were
the lirst nation WHO armed the foot sol
dier with these weapons. Toltaire states
that the Venetians were The lFst to sise
guns in an engagement at sea against the
Genoese, in 1877 but historians affirm,
that the English had guns at the battle 6f
Cressy in 1886 and tho year following
at the siege Of Calais.

very ardently her lover, was then resi-.

his insurgent MOBILES, and his treasury
had become so exhausted that he could
not afford his son an armed escort sutii-

consequently adopted the resolution to GO

left home in disguise, and having lost his
slender purse by the way, had not a rial

2. An orchard is an ornament to the
farm, beautiful in its spring blossoms, its
summer drapsry Of green, and its autumn
burden Of yellow and ruddy fruit. No
farm is complete without its acres of or

pleasant in contrast to many homes around

5. twill tend to guard children against
vice and crime. So strong is the desire
for fruit, that they may steal it If il be not

that grows up plundering his neighbours
fruit yard and orchard, is very likely to
steal more valuable things when be be-
comes a man.
6. 1t is a very sure investment. An
apple tree, if well planted, is about as
hardy rs any oak, and sure to bear fruit
according to the labor bestowed upon it..
When houses burn up. and banks fail and
railroad stocks depreciate, the orchard will
yield dividends.
Z. 1t is not only sure Investment for
yourself, but for your children. No real

so permanently valuable. An orcnard in

years. ----------.---.- .-. -

tin, upon application to the War Depart
ment, has been authorized to permit the
drafted militia to become volunteers, bv
changing their term of service from nine
months to three years. Inquiries and
suggestions of this character lave been
received from ali parts of the State, and
the plan will doubtless result in. the con-
weston of many drafted militia iuto volun-
tecrs for three years. This is an important
move, as it probably entities those who
change their time of service to bounty,
advance pay, premium, and in fact all the
advantages heretofore enjoyed.
