Lii forgot her wish, and said hastily.
But l think that's dreadful, to be-

"Of course it's dreadful" said tba

does not want to be turned into some.

into something, and they have thei.

thing of them. There's boy turning

another one beginning to be a fox. One

the imps themselves, and a verv few
had slight resemblance to the fairies
Lii noticed that with some the fairies

away by the imps, who by and by gave
place to the fairies again; and these

fairies, or else of the imps, grew longer

been found that the most effective rifiiny
for these cannon is groove starting az
a straight line at the breech. Half way
to the muzzle the groove begins to turn,
and at the muzzle the curve is greatest,
sending the ball. out with kind of cir
cular ''snap," which, so say the engi-
neers, gives the greatest range and pre-
cision to the projectile.
The massive machinery which handles
these big pieces of ordnance as readily
as childs toy exeites scarcely more
wonder by its strength than by its uner-
ring accuracy. 1t includes horizontal
revolving bed, used for cutting the bed
plates for the guns, and probably not
less than forty feet square; crane which
lifts easily 200 tons and can readily swing
in the air four American locomotives:
and the famous trip-hammer, weighing
forty tons, and said to be the largest in
the world, yet which can be so gently
managed as to force watch-crystal into
its place without breaking it. How ex-
cellent are both the material and work
manship turned out by these splendid
machines at Woolwich, is proved by ac-
cident as well as by design. In small
building is shown an eighty-ton gun
which was tested Intentionally until it
burst By its side lies the big gun of the
Thunderer iron-clad, which was burst by
accidental double loading a few years
ago, with the deadly result which many
will recall. In both these great pieces
the fractures are almost perfectly SYM
metrical, forming cubes forward of the
breech, and proving alike how fawless
was the material and how evenly distrib-
uted was the strength of the gun.-Lon-

this is the case, as, for instance, when
both are light-haired and blue-eyed, san
guine or nervous, he thinks marriage
between them very reprehensible, but not
so much so if one should be dark and the
other fair, or they should manifest in
other striking ways that their tempera-
ment and organization are, for the most,
derived from a different line of ances-
tors.
A clergyman of New England, some
wears ago, married his double cousin.
As their ancestry on each side was the
same, leaving out of view considerations
of decorum and morals, it was the same
as if brother had married a sister. We
hardly think the Pope would, under any
circumstances, have granted dispense
ton for such an alliance. Regis

" Yes, money has certainly wings"
' Oh, has it?' thought little Molly,
" L never knew that beforer
And, questioning looked at her dolly,
Who calmly sat on the floor.
Then entered breathless caller,
With shawl hanging quite imprinted;
Lest thunderstorm should befall her,
She had come ION the wings Of the mind"

Thought Molly, and looked about;
From the window she couldn't perceive

They had flown right along, no doubt.

She was safely tied to her dolly,
And her mamma had no wings. ...

yERNDALE, Nov. 14.-You pretend to be

the foe of monopoly, whatever form the
hideous monster may assume. If your
pretensions are your convictions allow me
a small space in the columns of your great
family paper to air the grievances of our
people.
We have in Verndalc but one wheat buy
er, who is in the employ of the Northern
Pacific Elevator company, of Fargo. The
buyer, Mr.. B. H. Petit, started out giving
the turner's regular prices aai sc Cd grades.
Wheat bought by him for No. 1 good sound
wheat, that had not received a drop of
water since sharvest, was condemned en-
reaching Minneapolis. AS a matter of
course Mr.. Petit could not stand this, as
he was losing very heavily. So he closed
up shop and took wheat only at such fig.
ures as insured him against loss. Now just
to show you the rascality and the bare.

has been remunerated for the loss sus
tanned in his early shipments.

the farmers or local buyers to procure car
