The beautiful waved lines and curious
fower-like figures that appear on the
surface of gun barrels are really the lines
Of welding, showing that two different
nletals--iron and steel--are intimately
blended in making the finest and strong
est barrels. The process of thus welding
and blending steel and iron is a very in
teresting one Flat bars or ribbons OF
steel and iron are alternately arranged
together and then twisted into a cable.
Several of these cables are then welded
together, and shaped into a long. fiat
bar, which is next spirally coiled around
hollow cylinder, called mandrel,
after which the edges of these spiral
bars are heated and firmly welded The
spiral coil is now put upon what is called
welding mandrel, is again heated, and
carefully hammered into the shape
of gun barrel Next comes the cod
hammering, by which the pores of the
metal are securely closed. The last, OF
finishing operation, is to turn the barrel
on lathe to exactly its proper shape and
size. BY all the twistings, weddings and
hammerings the metals arc so blended
that the mass has somewhat the consis-
tency and toughness Of woven steel and
iron. A barrel thus made is very hare
20 burst. But the finishing of the inside
of the barrel is an operation requiring
very great care and skill What is called
cylinder bored barrel is where the bore
or hole through the barrel is made OF
uniform size from end to end A choke
bore is one that is little smaller at the
muzzle end than it is at the breech end

TIE RosE ANp THE oRIoLE.


A FABLE WITHOUT MORAL
Roses of Damascus rose OF all,
Queen of the roses Of the worldl
The only flower that ere his fall
Adam thought fit to pluck for Eve,
As once she lay in slumber curled,
And he, though half afraid to speak
Said, Lovely being, by your leave,
Your husband gives you this, and this"
Then laid a rose upon her cheek,
A damask rose, and kiss.
The rose before was not so red
But Eve awoke; and such blush,
With her smile mingling, overspread
Her face that instantly the flower
Felt through its veins new coloring rush,
Till every petal showed the stainI
And SO in the most radiant hour,
OF midsummer's rssplendent morn,
The queen Of all the rosy train,
The damask rose, was bornl
Soon as this woman, flower in hand,
Led Adam where the Strawberries grew,
An oriole from palm that famed
These earliest lovers, on the rose
Lighted, and straight his natural hue
OF gold, that red to orange turnedi
Then the sly bird his moment chose,
Snatched the rose from her hand, and fed
Far as an amethyst cloud that burned
In the bright blue o'erhead
Now when thou watchest in the west
The spIendors of the dying day,
Think of fh0mrlamacL voca tIo4 y1,.os+
Her cheek whom we our Mother call,
AS dreaming in her bower she lay:
Remember, too, the orioles theft,
First theft that was, ere Adams fall
And in the crimson clouds behold,
Unless thy heart all faith have left,
His orange and his gold

TIE TIGERS FRIENDSHIP.

A Tiger one day approached Peasant
near enough to call out that he wanted
to be friends, and to invite the man to
meet him halfway.
Tigers have always eaten men, and
men have always sought to kill tigers
he added, "but can see no reason why
it should be So
Nor /, either" answered the Peasant,
and he advanced to the meeting
They were yet several feet apart when
the Tiger called out:
''Ha why do you bring gun with
you 20
and why are you licking your chops
and working your claws ~ shouted the
Peasant.
The result was that the Tiger skulked
back to the thicket and the Peasant to
his field, each feeling renewed distrust

cVluent InaC some one was indeed In
that apartment, and that, whoever it
might be, was anxious not to arouse the
inmates, else why should pause follow
each movement-why did the handle of
the door turn so carefully as the intruder
was about to issue from the room?
Unbounded terror filed the hearts of
both girls as they found they must face
the danger so close at hand. There was
no time to retreat; but as a drowning
man catches at straw, so Lucy pulled
her sister behind-or rather to one side
of an old cabinet which stood in the cor
ridor, and there awaited what would
happen.
With strained gaze fixed in the di-
rection of the creaking handle, the
alarmed sisters clasped hands, praying
that the foe so near would not pass by
the cabinet, but turn the other wav.

of the door tu-ned-as the door itself
opened very slowly, and figure APP

YELLOWSTONE JIM
A Desperate Citizen Laid Low
While on a Tear.

a correspondent writing from the
Sun River country has the following
details of the shooting of Yellowstone
jim:
Augusta, on the south fork of Sun
River, was the scene of a serious shoot
ing affray several days ago, between
Ezra Craig, business man of the above
named place, and a hard citizen named
James Sullivan, better known by the
cOgnOmen of yellowstone Jim" who
has made the South Fork country his
home since last February. The shoot
ing was clearly a case of self-preserva-
ton on the part of Craig. Sullivan had
endeavored TO create the impression
that he was bad man and had thor
Oughly terrorized the community, and
whenever an opportunity offered dis
played his brute strength, and followed
1t up by threats of killing, and had re-
peatedly threatened the life of his en-
plOyer. On the night in question he
filled up with the soul-destroying fluid,
generally for sale throughout the Ter
ritoTy, and started on heading up"
expedition, and. after a time, started
in on the bushes room occupied by
Craig & Sturman, and battered in the
windows and doors. Craig, who sleeps
in one of the rear rooms of the building,
at last got up, and arming himself with
a revolver, went out after his partner,
and returning, called on Sullivan TO de-
sist, which seemed only to incense him
more, and he started toward Craig with
chair. Craig called to him to stop or
he would shoot; but he continued to
advance and Craig commenced to shoot,
firing six shots, FIVE of which took effect
one in the head, one in the back, one
in the breast, one in the hip, and one in
the side.
A coroner's jury, after viewing the
body and taking testimony, brought in
a verdict to the effect that the deceased
came to his death from pistol shots fired
by Ezra Craig.
Craig Immediately gave himself up
after the shooting to the proper authOri-
ties, and at his preliminary examination
was bound over to await the action of
the grand jury.
The general verdict of the people at
Augusta is that Sullivan richly deserved
what he got, and that Craig was fully
justified in killing him. Inter Mountain.
