The Bullet Chamber.

In quiet nook of the royal castle Of
Berlin, not accessible to the general
public, there is a small, plainly furnished
room known for more than two centu-
ries past to the successive custodians of
that ancient pile by the quaint designa-
ton of the Kugelkammer, or ''Bullet
Chamber The origin of this title is
due to the following curious historical
incident: In the year 1851 Gustavus
Adolphus, the heroic King of Sweden,
sat down before Berlin with his army
and opened peace negotiations with
George William, then Elector of Bran
denburg, taking the precaution, how
ever, to erect batteries in commanding
positions within close range of the city
enceinte, with view to exercising a
wholesome and timely pressure upon
the Kurfuerst and his military advisers.
Under these circumstances, naturally
enough George William promptly came
to terms with his royal adversary; and
the King, delighted at the success of
his vancouver, instructed his artillerists
beyond the walls to fire grand
Juc-de- i0ie in honor of the treaty con-
cluded between himself and the Elector.
His orders were at once obeyed, when,
to the CONSERVATION of the Berlinese, a
storm of missiles burst upon their house
roofs. The gallant Swedes had forgot
ten to draw the balls from their cannon.
Four of these ponderous shot pene-
trated the walls of the royal castle, and
were subsequently dug out from their
Judgments in different portions of the
building to be collected and ever after
carefully preserved in the chamber
which. to this day, is named after them.

ANNEXATION = WILL TIT PAY NEW
 HAVEN!


 ANNEXATION WILL IT PAY NEW HAVEN.
 The time is near when those interested will have opportunity of voting in favor of or against annexing part of East Haven to New Haven. When the matter first came up there was considerable opposition to annexa- tion, but the more it is thought about the more do it's advantages become apparent. Most of those who at first opposed it have changed their minds with a better under standing of the question, and it now seems reasonably certain that the voting will be largely in it's favor.
 It Is plain that annexation will be a good thing for that part of East Haven which seeks it and for that part which will remain after annexation. The only question that re- mains, then, is whether it will be good in. vestment for New Haven. We believe it will, for several reasons The first, and very important reason is that by annexation New Haven will gain control of the east shore of the harbor. One has but to look at map showing New Haven's water front to see how small part of what we ought to have is ours. With the east shore New Haven's water front will be great ly enlarged. The benefits of this enlarge ment hardly need pointing out. If New Haven continues to grow as it now seems likely to do the east water front of the har- Dor will be immensely useful and valuable at no distant day, and It is very desirable that it be under the control of New Haven. Our water front is at present much too limited in extent.
 Another advantage to be taken into con sideration in this connection is the control of oyster grounds along the east shore which annexation will give New Haven.
 The future development of some of the best real estate in the vicinity of New Haven is to be taken into account. Already quite a number of New Haveners have residences on the east shore. With annexation changes will be made which will encourage building there, and the increase in the value of prop erty alone will vastly more than make up any temporary expense which annexation may cause.
 It is believed, and with excellent reason find it to their interest to locate on the east shore and that thus the importance and pros- perity of New Haven would be increased.
 The only argument we have yet seen against annexation which possesses show of force is that if it takes place taxes will be increased to pay the debt which must also be annexed. This argument is exceedingly short-sighted. The same argument would deprive us of sewers, good roads and all inn provements which cost money. The increase of taxes which annexation will bring will be very small. It ought not to be over mill and need not be but half mill. Such an in- crease is of slight account to individuals, and is not to be considered in comparison with great public benefits. New Haven has reached stage where she cannot afford to be picayune in such matters.
 It seems plain, therefore, from every point of view, that annexation will be profitable investment for New Haven. It must come sooner or later. Why not now?

It is more than three years before the re- ciprocity treaty between the United States and the Sandwich Islands will expire, and yet the Honolulu papers are considerably ex- ercised because the merchants and planters of the island are not taking steps for its re- newal The Honolulu Adoertiser says ''Four years of reciprocity privileges have rescued sugar estates from impending bank
 ruptcy; have increased agricultural enter prises throughout the country, and added to the national wealth built up various flour ishing industries, enlivened trade and en- larged commerce increased the revenues of government, and permanently improved the metropolis" It is emphatically denied that sugars have been brought to Honolulu from Queensland, China and the Mauritius, and then reshipped to the United States under the provisions of the reciprocity treaty. To do this, it is said, would be @ mercantile, if not a physical, impossibility. Besides being 0 losing venture, it is claimed that it could not be carried out without the connivance of the whole mercantile community of the islands, the whole staff of the custom house and the collusion of every American official in Honolulu. The benefits of the treaty, says one Honolulu contemporary, are gath cred blythe Hawaiian Kingdom and the United States in equal portions. The gain has not been monopolized by the lumbermen of Ore gon, but by the shipbuilders and engineering firms of San Francisco the shippers of agri- cultural implements and general cargoes from New York and Boston, and the iron steam ship builders of Philadelphia. If this is true the treaty will doubtless be renewed.

A Trying Age.

Young people who are passing from
childhood into young man or woman
hood grow with surprising rapidity,
and the amount of awkwardness, of
conceit, of shiftlessness and irrespon-
sibility they develop is astonishing to
those who do not know its cause. They
can play. they can eat, they can sleep,
and do nothing with wonderful ease
and facility; and they know-what do
they not know? they know everything.
They know more at this period than
at any previous or subsequent period
in their lives. They are ready to take
charge of themselves, of their parents.
of society, while at the same time they
cannot be depended ON for the most
trivial things. This is not true of all
children at this age, but it applies to
the majority, and there are few parents
of grown children who will not recog-
nize the truth of the picture. 1t is nee
essary at this intermediate stage of
existence to exercise the greatest for
bearance toward these troublesome
young creatures. They should be given
only light and easy tasks, and their
shortcomings ignored or forborne with
patience and hope. The age we speak
Of is the sentimental age. Girls at this
period love sensational novels, they are
''crazy'' about sweethearts, and in
clined to be lackadaisical generally.
They have headaches, listlessness,
dreaminess. Boys are ''crazy" to go
to sea or go out West and shoot buffa-
loes; they affect tall hat and carry 8
cane. They are especially arrogant
and superci(ious toward all small boys,
and think it manly to smoke a cigar.
In a few years all this fermentation
ceases, and the young woman becomes
rational, sensible, willing to be advised,
and willing to apply herself to work
and be responsible for its well doing;
the young man does what he ought to
without being told, and takes intelli-
gent views of life and duty. He settles
down to hard work cheerfully and
patiently. The sophomore age is
passed, and hope takes the place of pa
tience in the minds of parent and
teacher. In tiding youth over this
dangerous transitional period of their
lives, parents, teachers and guardians
must carefully combine firmness with
tenderness, and above all have plenty
of hope and patience.

A Wonderful Utah Canyon.

In returning to Cove Creek Fort, /
again journeyed through Clear Creek
canyon. 1t is mentioned on the map
as ''the pass to SEWER" and is one of
the great natural wonders of Utah. 1t
is about ten miles in length, and
through it flows limpid mountain
stream that soon joins the river Sewer.
In proceeding westward, the first oh.
Ject of interest is at the very mouth Of
the canyon, and has been named the
Buried Castle. At very short dis.
lance it closely resemble some vast,
time-worn castle, half-buried in dust
and accumulated rubbish. The towers,
battlements and roofs, rising one above
another, have strangely real appear
ance. AS the canyon narrows, on the
left is the dome, mass of rock, oval at
the summit. which rises hundreds of
feet in the air. Half mile farther on.
and on the right, is "Who Knows"
a huge rock having the outlines of a
human face, with a very prominent and
well-shapen nose. 1t stands close to
the road. Next the attention is attracted
by Indian hieroglyphics on the side OF
q POtpOhuiCuidI Will VI TOcK anu at n
height of about seventy-five feet from
the ground. These symbols have been
there for so long period that the
Indians inhabiting the country when
the Mormons came could give no ex-
PLANTATION of them, save that they chad
always been there" The rock seems
to have been deeply chiseled into, and
the cavities filled with indelible paint.
A mile farther on is the Throne Room.
This magnificent indentation is about
two hundred feet from the ground in
the perpendicular side of basaltic wal
five hundred feet high. Ishall attempt
no description of it, save to say that nc
king in the world has so grand recep
ton hall. About half way up the
canyon is Conscience Pass. Here per
pendicular walls of rock tower six hun
dred feet high, and approach so closet,
together that there is barely room foI
the brook and the narrow highway tina
runs beside it. At the distance O
twenty yards from the pass the trav
