MY father had an eating cancer for sew
eral years, which had eaten away his under
lip and the inside of his cheek, down to the
bottom of his gums. We got some of Swift's
Specific and gave him, and the effect has
been wonderful-almost miraculous. The
sores are all healed, and he is perfectly

A WOman's Pluck.

trOm The London icicgrapn.I
A magazine writer Of the last generation
once told q story OF a DoGrding-school full
OF big and unruiy boys. the head master OF
which fell suddenly and seriously III. Dis
organization ruled In the establish ment;
the terrified uShers were unable to main
tain order; mutiny and barring out seemed
imminent, when the doctors daughter. 4
little maiden OF sixteen, res0lutely seized
the reins OF authority, seated herself at her
papa's desk, scruped not to use the wand
OF chastisement, cOerced TO submission the
biggest and unrulirst OF the boys, infused
fresh confidence into the assistants. and
kept the school going, model OF good dis
cipline, until her papa got well.
Truth is stranger than fiction, end n
heroine OF type far more exalted than
that imagined by the magazine writer has
been found in the wife-now unhappily
the widow-of NJ. de Roepstortl, gentle
man OF Danish extraction, belonging TO the
Uncovenanted Civil Service. lately the
superintendent in charge OF the convict
settlement OF Camorta. the c6pital OF
the Nicobar Islands, in the Bay OF
Bengal. There are two hundred ma
tive desperadocs OF the very worst
type at Camorta, with only thirty
soldiers OF the Madras Native Infantry. and
q like number OF police to guard them. 4
hayildar, or native officer OF the contin-
gent of soldiers, had grudge against NJ.
de Roepstorf in consequence OF a dubious
accusation which had been brought against
him by q native Waterman. The vindic-
tive havildar lay in ambush for the super
intendcnt, and As the unfortunate gentle
man was riding past the barracks the ha-
vldar fired at him and shot him dead. The
murderer at once blew out his own brains.
The hapless Madame de Roepstorff, who
had been riding n few yards behind her
husband, found herself widow, three
hundred miles by sea from any one to speak
to, and with two hundred conyicts viz
tually at large to deal with. To cOmp.i-
cate the agonizing difficulty Of her posi-
ton the native soldiery and the native po-
lice were on the worst OF terms. But the
heroism Of the "Mcm Sahib" made her
mistress Of the situation. She had her
husbands body carried to his bungalow.
and aiterward buried; she dispatched
native craft to Port Blair. the capital
OF The Audamans, with two cOnstables
to report the tragedy which had occurred,
she took command OF the staten, she or
dered all reports to be made to herself, and
she kept her ferocious flock in perfect or
der until, seven days aftcrward, the acting
commandaut at Fort Blair, with some Off
GERS and the chaplain, arrived at Camorta.
Then. but not until then, the brave heroine
broke down; and when the chaplain read
the burial service over her husbands tomb
she flung herself on the grave and had to
be removed by force. Here was the story
OF the schoolmaster's daughter over again,
but writ mos tragically large.

Mr.. Mii.in's Terrible Gun.

from the NoIwalk Comm Hour. January 18TH
On the floor In one OF the rooms Of the
Norwalk Iron-Works Company l. u long,
heavy cylinder. Its length is about % feet,
and the diameter OF the bore Is about four
inches. In another department men are at
work constructing an alr-cOmpressOr.
When the latter is completed it will be
connected with the tube mentioned above,
and what the inventor confidently be-
lieves will be most tremendous
engine OF war will he completed
and ready for trial. Several years
ago, while in Washington, gentleman
from Ohio heard naval officer say
that II gun could be constructed that
would throw dynamite it would thorough
Is revolutionize modern warfare. Mr..
Miflin-that was the geutleman's name
proceeded at once TO invent siIch gun. and
he has reason to believe that il will be a
perfect success. 1t would not do to use
powder as propelling power for its sud-
den action would explode the dynamite
cartridge at the start, AMI blow the
gun to atoms. Compressed air, at a
pressure OF about 800 pounds to the
square inch, will take the place OF
powder, and the gun now in South
Norwalk is expected 10 throw a three
pound cartridge distance OF TWO miles.
Imagine the effect Of Il cartridge OF even so
small q weight striking the side or deck Of
IA vessel. or the ramparts OF fort. The
explosion would be terrible IN its results.
Ii the gun IL success others oi size sulli-
cient to throw one hundred pounds Of
dynamite ten miles Will be constructed.
The gun, loaded with sand instead OF
dynamite. will be tested in South Norwalk
at an early day In the presence Of naval
officers, scientific men. and others.
