Submarine Gable Graphing.

In cable operations, especially on a
soft sea bottom. it is sometimes diff
cult to tell when the grapnel reaches
the bottom. The experience of the
Captain of the cable steamer is often
relied upon for this, his acquaintance
with the strain Of the grapnel rope tell.
ing him, by the feel of the rope. when
the grapnel was landed. Sir James
Anderson and Mr.. Kennedy have, how
ever, devised an electrical tell-tale for
this purpose. 1t consists in attaching
a hollow chamber at or near the crap.
mel and communicating by a wire with
a cable running up the grapnel rope to
the ship, and in circuit with a battery
and electric bell or other alarm. A
quantity of mercury contained in the
hollow chamber serves to complete the
circuit and ring the bell when tho crap.
mel and chamber reach the bottom, be.
cause when this occurs the mercury
flows until it completes the circuit by
establishing contact between the wire
to the ship and an earth connection.
We are not aware that the plan has
been tried in practice, but it is in good
hands for such a test, and we trust it
may be. -Engineering.

New Idea in Fruit Drying.

The use of oil stoves is becoming
very common. They may be made to
do good service in drying fruit, OF
which, in some sections, there is a large
excess this year. Whoever burns hard
coal (anthracite) knows what q coal
sitter is. The simplest form is a
square box of half-inch stuff, with a
coarse wire.cloth bottom and no top.
The wire cloth should be of galvanized
iron, and has about four S juarcs to the
inch. The sides of the box are about
three inches high, and 1t is about four
teen inches square. These boxes are
easily made. the wire being attached by
strips, nailed to the edges of the frame.
Fruit laid upon the wire in the boxes,
and several boxes piled evenly me up
on the other. may be quickly dried by
placing the stack thus made upon ali
oil stove. The heat must be equa!i,ed
by an iron plate laid above the flame,
which must be kept low. The lower
most box needs to be removed and
placed on top every now and then,
special care being taken not to cook
the fruit. The drying will thus 60 on
entirely under control. and almost as
rapidly as in the patent driers. For
large quantities a patent drier may be
used. -Boston Globe.

A Neat and Useful Piece Of Household
Decoration.
The materials required to make this
little receptacle for holding burned
matches, and other wastes, are two
yards Of satin ribbon three inches vide
and of any color; a piece of cardboard;
o spool Of sewing silk, and a small silk
or chenille tassel matching the ribbon
in color. From the card board cut four
strips, four inches in length, and two in
width. Sew these pieces together in the
shape Of a box. and fit q bottom to it
of cardboard. The box is low ready
for trimming, which is done in the fol-
lowing manner: Cut four strips of the
satin ribbon even inches in length,
overland the edges together with sew
ing silk on the wrong side, then turn it
out, and fit it over the box, gathering
1t to a point at the bottom, and draw it
TO fit closely around the top. One Of
the seams should be placed at each cor
ner. For the handle use a strip of rib
bon a quarter Of three .eighths Of a yard
in length, cut the selvedge edge from
each side, and fringe about half an inch
deep. Then fasten securely to each side
Of the box. Place on the top of tho
handle a full satin bow with fringed
ends. At the bottom where the bag is
gathered to q point, the tassel is to be
securely fastened. A full ruche of rib
bon finishes the edge around the top of
the box, the ribbon first having been
fringed out about a quarter Of an inch
deep IN each edge, as the handle has
been done. It can be made still pref
tier by painting a graceful design Of
flowers on each Of the strips Of ribbon

GERMAN INFANTRY.
The Wonderful Rifle Discipline Lately In
troduced In the Service.

The Wonderful Rifle Discipline Lately In
trnduced In the Service.
The most noticeable feature in the
autumn maneuvers of the SEVERAL Ger
man army corps and divisions is ad-
mi,ted by all observers to have been the
perfection to which the firing discipi'h ne
of the infantry has been brought. The
German military authorities appear to
have recognized. not merely in theory
that since the general adoption OF
rapid.fring arms Of precision good and
steady shooting has become the main
element of success in battle. but to
have also taken practical measures to in
sure that their armies shall be capable
of developing to the utmost the power
of the rife with which they are armed.
In days when the issue Of an action de-
pended upon the success Of a charge in
line, the Prussian infantry was trained
to excel all others in the execution of
rigid and precise movements, in
marching past like a wall, and in the
performance of the most complicated
maueuvers without losing touch or CO.
hesion since the maintenance OF such
cohesion was one of tho most essential
conditions for a successful attack. Now
the same laborious care is bestowed
upon the training of the troops in firing
tactics. The result is that (%according
to the concurrent testimony of fore'g n
critics of nearly every European nation
OF any note as a military powcr) in no
other army in Europe is the fire OF the
infantry kept so completely under con-
troll as in the German. Even during
the most exciting phase of the late
maneuvers (and every one who has
taken part in military maneuvers
knows that at times an almost incredi-
bic excitement is aroused in the troops
engaged) the perfect control of the
musketry fire was never for a moment
lost or Impaired. The advantage which
this superiority Of its rifle discipline will
confer on the German army when it
next takes the field in earnest will be
immense. st. James Gazette.

In 1882 the cholera ragged in Montreal
with great violence, carrying off 1913
inhabitants in a population Of little
more than 30.00O. In April. 1S4S, a
political mob burned the Parliamentary
buildings, and the seat of Government
was, in consequence, transferred to
Quebec, subsequently 10 Toronto, and
finally to Ottawa. A destructive fire in
July, 1852. laid waste a large portion
of the city, burning 10 houses and de-
stroyipg property to the value of ST.

verses the city has rapidly recovered.
and to-day numbers a population of
nearly ITO, 600 people. Years of in

produced a mighty contrast to the city

The great wealth Of the Roman Catho.

magnificent churches, hospitals and
converts, always in a very massive and
enduring style. Other denominations
seem to have been excited by cmula-

beauty and elegance Of their places of

French origin Of the city are to be
noted a few curious old buildings to b.

CARE OF HORSES.
Little Things Sadly Neglected by Many

Little Things Sadly Neglected by Many
Otherwise Humane Farmers.
If those having the care of horses
would study into the question of care
and management it would conduce to
the w~ell-being of the animals and the
profit of the owner~ For instance. 1t
has been stated, and widely copied in
journals without comment, that to give
a horse style and grace he should he
fed from colthood up in a manger so
high rs to caus some cxertion to reach
the food. Nothing could be wider of
the mark aimed at If an animal has
not the physical conformation to give
style he never be made to assume
a high head without imparing valuable
points elsewhere. In fact, if a high
head could be given by feeding from q
high manger, this would correspond
ingly depress the spinal column behind
the shoulders. Improved action and
style are the result of careful training,
and can only DO developed measurably
in any animal, In other words, you
can not ven measurably change the
conformation of an animal without in
the same measure changing the center
of gravity. Hence stumbling and other
disabilities. The horse naturally
chooses to stand with the fore feet
somewhat higher than the hind feet.
For the farm horse especially the feed,
box should be rather low than high
and the manger, and not a rack to be
reached up to, should hold the hay.
The horse that works all day requires
rest at night. The owner who gives the
best food, grooming and bedding to tho
animals under his cart gets the most

OF HOME.

We often stray to distant lands,
Where faces new We greet;
We hear the sounds of footsteps strange
And voices low and sweet.
1t matters little where we rest,
Or where we chance to roam;
To us, like angel visits, come
The sacred thoughts of home.
We sec the faces loved of yore,
We seem to hear the tread
OF baby feet that lie at rest
Among the flowers dead.
The touch of hands that molder now
Beneath the azure dome
The smiles, the voices of the past,
Come back with thoughts of home.
We oft recall the aged pair
Who for u coming walt,
And see the sparkling eyes that peep
Above the garden gate,
The widest torn that feels the wood.
The surges tipped with foam
Break for awhile. but can not drown
The exile's thoughts of home.
The rose we Gull in bower fair
Dies with the teeting day:
The Fl endships OF this busy world
How o they pass away!
But lC Y e is true the wide world DER,
No matter where we roam;
1t lights the holy fires that burn
UpIn the hearth OF home.
TITS sweet in peaceful! hours to See
The home of long ago,
When baby feet across the green
Ran joyous to and fro.
And when from mothers lips we heard
The tale of elf and gnome,
And all our world and all our joys
Were anchored fast to home.
Dear, blessed homo! sweet thoughts of
thee
Keep bright MY childish past;
The golden links in Mem rvs chain
To thee still bind me fast;
And when my crossed hands lie at rest
Beneath the starry dome,
May those who seek me find me near
The sacred courts of home.
