From the Chicago Maill
 Kirk Gum, who dropped $11, BOO in Pat Sheedy's gambling house in one short ses- sion, went there, I am told, for the pur- pose of breaking the "bank." Gum is worth one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. and has more business in him than any of the other gamblers in town. The new rooms had been fixed up by Sheedy and Eli Marks and their three partners with a gorgeousness that put all the other establishments in the shade. Gum figured that the quickest way to dispose of the new rival was to cripple it at once Gum knew very well how this latest Sheedy house was fixed; that the capi- tai did not reach ten thousand dollars, and that a little hard luck would break it. So he went there to break it. When Gum got out beyond the limit he was surprised that Eli, who was dealing, did not stop him; but Marks, like Sheedy, was 8 nervy dealer. It wasn't business to allow Gum to bet one thousand dollars on turn, and the partners in the house could have kicked at a losing; but the house was s'thin," and to make a stake by the slow winnings of small game would take a long, long while. Eli knew more about the condition of the firm than anybody else and cut loose. It was 8 choice between losing enough to close up the house or winning out enough to put it in good shape. It has now capital of nearly twen- ty thousand dollars, where it had very thin one of less than ten thousand dollars last week. Gamblers will soon be here from Philadelphia, from San Francisco, from New York, from New Orleans. They will hear of that play, and there is not a sport anywhere on earth who will not travel one thousand miles to tackle game where he is allowed to bet five hundred dollars on card If the house can keep it's luck for sixty days it will be worth one hundred thousand dollars

Richard the Thirds reign was Lancasterian and an exile with his brother in the cause of Henry Tudor; after the battle of Bosworth they returned, and the bishop was subse- quently translated from Oxford to Winches ter He died in 1492. He gave the great bell "Peter'' to Exeter cathedral (since' re- cast), and he was an ancestor of the present Earl of Devon. The restoration of the great Norman crypts of the cathedral is exciting great interest among antiquarians.
 It is becoming evident that Liberia is not yet paradise for the colored people of this country. Anderson H. Jones. 8 colored man who went to Liberia six months ago from Missouri, writes home from Breweraville, 8 village fifteen miles from Monrovia, giving some account of the country. He says that there are no horses, no mules and no oxen in the whole settlement All the farm work is done with the hoe, the rake and the axe. He says: I have been all over the settlement and I found the largest number of people in suffering condition for something to eat and for clothes to wear. There isn't any doctor in this settlement-thes settlement is too poor to support one. Calico is 25 cents per yard. A common laborer, when he can get any work to do, is paid 25 cents per day. Picked pork is 25 cents per pound; shoulder meat, 25 cents per pound. All the four and meat used here is imported from England and America. Corn meal is 10 cents per quart. Common four is $15 per barrel. The only slow way the settlers have to make money here is by raising and selling coffee. It will take newcomer like myself from five to six years to get coffee farm in trim for selling coffee. The public schools are poor. There is class of people over here who do not want the true condition of things written back home

The English Bayonet Test.
From the London Standard. l


 The former test for the ordinary triangular Martini Henry bayonets was to bend them over simple bridge like the bridge of vio- lin, and in the case of swords they were bent by hand to bow of about inches. Bayonets and swords, even if weak, would stand these tests. Now, however, the tests are extraordinarily severe. The bayonet has it's point pushed into a socket or shoe, and it is then bent by hand pressure over wood arch of segment of curve equal to nearly it's entire length, and which has an elevation at it's central part of 211s inches, the hilt end of the bayonet being bent over to the extent of more than inches. The metal must then spring back to it's former condition, without the slightest permanent set This test is applied to all the three sides of the bayonet. It is thsn tested by torsional strain by being fixed in an apparatus in which the strain of 80 lbs suspended weight is applied. Finally, it is struck by hand with the hardest blows upon each of it's if any flaw exists, the bayonet will be tainly broken. If the slightest permanent bend or set can be detected after these proofs, the bayonet is at once rejected To swords similar crucial tests are now applied, one of the most important features being the introduction of a test for proving the rigid ity of the sword, besides the tests for proving it's temper or fexibility. The artillery carbine saw -bayonet is sub iected to test of this class. But the most searching of all the tests are those applied to the cavalry swords. These are 3414 inches long, and 5-16 of an inch thick at the back. Each blade is first bent a wood arch of nearly it's own length to the extent of 2 feet at it's hit end, it's point being fixed. It l is then put in frame perfectly vertical, and it must stand weight of 32 lbs. upon 1t without the slightest indication of any def1ection. The Enfield blades stand this test to the extent of 36 lbs. The blade is | next forced down by leverage to the ex- | tent of inches, lowing proportionately on l made by hand against wood block, one 1 back. The sword blade is then tested by be- 1 ing placed in trough mould finished up
 to a mechanical fspp The handle and guard l being rivetted on, the tests are applied to 1 the finished sword. The ordinary swords 1 in the service are of the 1882 pattern, and, 1 like the bayonets, slightly too light and weak at the ends of the blades. The new | swords of the 1885 pattern are heavier, and i are strengthened by greater thickness and depth of metal at the cutting portion of l the blade The new bayonets are 3 ounces l heavier in weight than the former Martini | Henry bayonets, although of the same length | as the original pattern. All the present | forms of bayonets destined, it would seem, to give way to the latest pattern sword bayonet, which will probably receive general acceptance as the finest and most use 1 full weapon ever associated with the rified nlusket.

The Horse VIII Know Better Next
 Time.

From the Detroit Free Pressl
 It was eight degrees below zero and the frost was nipping hot. horse belonging to city official was nitched to post on the west side of the City Hall, and although he was covered with buffalo robe and blan- ket he bumped himself together to keep warm, and had look of disgust on his face.
 Presently a bootblack came along. At some time in this boys life he had touched Seeing the horses nose within a foot of the iron post made him forget the cutting wind and the cold flag stones. He was chewing away on big hunk of molasses candy. He removed it from his mouth and held it to the horse's nose. Out came the animals tongue for lick, and the boy then rubbed the hunk over the top of the post and skipped across the street into doorway. He was hardly in the place when the horse slipped six inches of his tongue out after more sweetness. It hit the post and stuck there For minute he thought there was some mistake, but then came the realizing sense that he had been played for a sucker and caught on blunt hook. He set back and pulled, lurched forward and squealed, and then lifted his heels and made splinters of everything within reach. Pedestrians ran to stop him, but with a terrible wrench he loosened his tongue and set off at a gal 1op, slowing the cutter bottom up and knock. ing it to pieces as he went down Fort street.
 The boy went up the street saying to him self:
 t'If was horse do you suppose anybody could get me to lick molasses off an axe on a cold day?'

PROGRESS IN RUSSIA.

Russia is not looked upon as a very pro- gressive country, but in the matter of indus trial education it cannot be said to be tagging behind other countries The Russians alone among European nations are entitled to the credit Of attempting to reform the technical training of engineers and mechanics by mix ing workshop instruction with other ele- ments of the polytechnic course; and their success seems to be remarkable. The whole plan may be seen in the two schools of tech nology at St. Petersburg and Moscow.
 In these schools a definite number of hours of work are required of every student, at Moscow the work being mixed with the duties of every week of the six-year course, while at St. Petersburg it is consolidated in to fifth year, after all the school work of the four-year course has been finished. At Moscow no week passes without shop work; at St. Petersburg shop work is done un- til the beginning of the fifth year, which year is wholly devoted to drawing and shop work. Graduates from the two schools stand on about the same level, aspire to and compete for the same positions, viz., fore men, superintendents, etc, and achieve suc- cess in kindred fields. Mechanics compose more than two-thirds of the entire number of graduates, and find satisfactory employ ment. Chemists are taught the most im- portant forms of applied chemistry, as found in Russian industries. Dr. Charles o. Thompson says: In the immense laborato- ries of applied chemistry, and under the control of the professor of chemistry, are a distillery, with capacity of 1000 gallons of alcohol day; dyehouse, where the dyer, the best one in St. Petersburg handles 100 pounds day of woolen, cotton and silk goods; soda works, which yields 1000 pounds of soda ash per diem; and number of iron works, consisting of blast furnace, pudding ovens Bessemer plant and foundry, where several tons of iron day are hand dled
 AS illustrative of the value of this kind of work the fact is mentioned that the new bridge over the Neva, the finest in Russia, was built under the direction of the engineers of the Imperial Institute of Technology at St. Petersburg, and every piece of iron used in the structure was tested in the physical laboratory of that institution. In the work shop of the Moscow school Dr. Thompson saw expert mechanics at work at the draw ing tables making projects and solving me chanical problems for different manufactur- CTS in and about the city In the smithy he saw six forges for regular workmen standing op- posite three for the students, and a steam hammer was almost in constant use by the journeymen. In the foundry the stu dents were working on small moulds, and md handling large castings. It is clear that many counties can learn something from Russia in this matter

CHAS. A. CABRERA, g Hawley Street,
 Boston, Mass, writes:
 "One year ago I apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months. With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with apparent benefit. Finally, as a last resort, I was induced to try Dr. R. c. Flowers Lung Cordial. The very first dose gave me relief, and with the first bottle I took new lease of life, and 1 can honestly say to-day that one spoonful of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than a gallon of any other known remedy. A bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first symptom of cough or cold I fly to it for the relief it never fails to give"
 DR. FLOWERS LUNG COR- DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTION as no remedy has ever been known to do. It stands without a rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON- SUMPTION.
 Price $1 per bottle. A copy of Dr. Flowers Rules for the Treatment of Consumption ac- companies each bottle.
