Slaughter by Wholesale.
From the American Architect.

The most efficient machine for killing our fell
low-nen yet inverted appears to be the Maxim
machine gun. a utensI when any person can
carry without difficulty into battle, and having
leyeled it at his enemies and supplied it with a
quantity of ammunition, he need do nothing
more than turn crank once, and retire to a
place of safety. The gun then begins shooting
by itself, and continues to fire bullets Cat any
rate desired, from two minute to six hundred
until its cartride-belt which contains three hun
dred and thrty-three charges, is exhausted.
The advantages. to warllke person. of being
able to kill three hundred and thirty three per-
sons at single effort. without exposing lis own
valuable person to injury are SO obvious that
there is likely to be an extensive demand tor the
new instrument among Christian nations, and
no one should fail to acquaint himself with the
principles ON which it acts. Every one
knows something of the machine guns
heretofore used, the Calling gun, with it's
six barrels tied together by bands. and the crank
at its rear, being perhaps the most familiar, but
all those hithereto used differ from the Maxim
gun in employing acOntinued force from the out
slde generally applied to crank or lever to
fire the charges, while the Maxim weapon loads
and fires ITSELF after the first shot has been dis
charged, by utilizing the recoil of each discharge
to effect the necessary movements an ingenius
system of springs and levers, operated by the
barrel, which slides back about half an inch at
each explosion. extracting and throwing away
the she'll Of the cartridge Just used, putting an
other in its place, pushing the barrel forward
again, cooking the hammer and pulling the trig-
ger and repeating the whole series of move
ments as the barrel slides back again by the re-
coll OF the new discharge. With all its inge-
nuity and apparent complication the new gun
seems from the tests to be substantial enough
for active service, and it is much to be hoped
that the occasion for employing it will be rem
dered rarer by the very fact that its efficiency
will make it dreaded

My Mothers Wrinkles.

The angels folded them down, know,
Tenderly down when none might see.
With a sweet thoughts weight TO keep them SO,
Maybe thought OF me.
A thought OF me, and throbbing thought
Crosses the daises' snowy sea
To the silent temples, flower fraught,
Under the cypress tree.
For often the solemn feet have trod
Noiseless and chill beside the hearth,
Bearing message down from God,
Bearing soul from earth.
In the long still nights while Others slept,
Weeping has kept her lids apart.
Till the tender, happy pain has crept
.Out Of her weary heart,
Into her forehead's white, and there
The loving fingers that always wait
Into these wrinkles straight.
The saints who stand In holy place
Meekly joyous have felt, know,
Over the page Of an earthborn face
The sorrOwful record grow;
And, looking back to the dim earth days,
HAPPY the righteous ones can see
In the ief-fraught lines, the hallowed rays
OF the aureOle TO be.
o sanity mother. / sit apart
And, reverent, every feature trace,
Reading the story of the heart
In the wrinkles on thy face.

With fingers OF love, when none might see,
Fold by fold with another crown
In the world OF bliss, for thee.

Curing a Cold in the Head.

The Family Doctor in Household Words
The commonest type OF cold is that called
"cold in the head" to distinguish it from "cold
on the chest" This ''cOl q in the head" has
certain well-marked sym, .oms-a feeling of
general n,alaise is experienced, often accompa-
MED by slight feverish sickness. Then comes
a sensation OF fullness in the head, there is
sneezng a profuse flow Of tears, an Irritating
and copious discharge from the nose. This
means that the mucuOus membrane of the nose
is infamed. and il this spreads down the back
of the throat the sufferer becomes hOarse. The
best way to treat this troublesome complaint
Is to take a "hot drink" An orange sliced and
put into large cup with little sugar sprinkled
over it, and boiling water poured upon it, and
then drunk as hot as possible, is both pleasant
and beneficial. The feet should be put into
hot water, with or without little mustard.
This foot bath should be taken at the bedside:
the patient should be well wrapped up. and
blanket placed across his knees should be
drawn outside the bath, so as to confine the
steam. After keeping the feet in the water for
from five to ten minutes, the patient should
lose no time in getting into bed, where he will
probably derive great benefit from the general
feeling of warmth, and from the flow of perspi-
ration which has been induced Ifpossible. at
this stage, the patient should remain in bed for
two days, with fire in his room. which should
be we'll made up at night, SO as to keep alight
till morning. But keeping in bed will do little
paper or book to read for thereby he is more
dangerously exposed to cold than if he were
up, dressed and going about as usual. The
main point is to keep thoroughly wrapped up
and constantly warm Even an uncomfortable
degree of heat may be beneficial.
A small piece of camphOr chewed and sucked
is very good So is the inhalation of sulphurous
acid gas-a remedy which was found to be in
constant use by the weayers of Kircaldy, who
had it among the materials Of their work. Buy
two ounces Of sulphurous acid (dilute) from
chemist, and then take out the cork, and inhale
through the nostrils only. of course-the pun
gent gas which Is given Off Some use Terriers
snuff, and find benefit therefrom; but it must be
used cautiously, as it contains powerful drug
to wit, morphia. Ten or twelve grains of DOver's
powder taken In cruel at bedtime, is good for
an adult, but should not be administered to
children, as it contains opium, which should
never be given to them without doctors pre-
scription. To avoid an unpleasant excoriation
Of the nose and upper lip during the course of q
cold in the head, they should be often washed
thoroughly with soap and lukewarm water, and
little vaseline should be applied. If the throat
feels sore. a chlorate of potash lozenge should
be sucked occasionally.

MRS. GORDON,S PRETTY PISTOL.
1t PerfOrateS a Tramp's Hat and Makes
him Drop a Silver Butter Dish.

From the New York Sun.
Mrs. Archibald Gordon lives in CastetOn Cor
ners s. 1. On Thursday tramp knocked at
her door and begged for meal He got plenty
to eat in the kitchen. Mrs Gordon and her
maid were alone in the house. After the tramp
had finished eating he pulled his chair close to
the fire and stuck his feet up near the CRATE
Mrs. Gordon then told him to 90. He picked
up a silver butter dish from the table, put it
into the pocket of his ragged coat, and seated
himself again at the crate. renarking. with an
oath. that he would get out when he got ready.
Mrs. Gordon happened to have pretty pearl
handled revolver in the pantry. The tramp did
not see her as she took the weapon from a shelf.
She stepped up behind hin, and sent bullet
through both sides of the crown of his hat. The
bullet flattened itself against the fireplace and
dropped at the feet OF the astOunded intruder.
His hat was knocked Off by the force of the pow
der and fell beside the bullet. The tramp jumped
to his feet. He found Mrs Gordon standing
near him, and the muZzlc of her tiny weapon
directly on a line with his eyes Mrs. Gordon
quietly said
1.-The next shot will 90 right through your eye.
1t might kill you, unless you put back that but
ter dish and get out, as told YOU"
The tramp did not stay long enough to pick
up his perforated hat. He threw the butter dish
on the table and fled. The hat now hangs out
side Of Mrs. Gordon'sback door, where the tramp
can get it if he wants it.
