a. the Fest Forged Guns, and It l.
Much Cheaper.
A Pittsburg steel company recently
made the casting for the great steel gun in
tended for the United States government.
Never before in the history of Bessemer
steel has gun been cast Of anything like
the magnitude Of this one. The company
has been making preparatory experiments
looking to this casting for several months
past. When everything had been made
ready, the mold stood on end in pit dug
for the purpose, is top rising about six
feet above ground. i platform was built
on a level with the top OF the mold
When the hour arrived for beginning the
work there were present Superintendent
Hainsworth, officers Of the United States
navy and United States government steel
inspectors and about sixty workmen.
The molten iron was brought from the
blast furnace and poured into tho great
converter in the center Of the building.
Into this converter were poured l6,JUO
pounds of metal, the largest weight that
has ever been put into this great steel
making receptacle.
The great engine vac then started and
began to drive air with great force
through the converter. This process af-
forded beautiful sight TO the lockers on,

TRY NOT TO COUGH

A physician who is connected with an
institution which contains many children
SAYS: 'sThere is nothing more irritating
to a cough than 10 congli. Fer some time
| had been so fally assured of this that |
recently determined, If possible for one
minute, at least to lessen the number of
coughs heard in certain ward in a hospital
of the institution. BY the promise of re-
wards and pnnishmcnts | succeeded in in
ducing them simply to hold their breath
when tempted to congh and in a little
while | was myself surprised to see how
semeof thechildren recovered entirely from
their disease
Constant coughing is precisely like
scratching a wound on the outside Of the
body; so long as it is done the wound will
not neal. Let a person when tempted to
cough draw a long breath and hold it until
it warns and soothes every air cell, and
| some benefit will soon be received from the
process. The nitrogen which is thus re-
tanned acts rs an anodynet 10 the irritated mu-
| Gus membrane, allayins the desire 10 cough
and giving the throat and lungs a chance
10 heal. AT the same time n suitable med

HOW GEEEULOED Is MADE.

While everybody has heard Of, or seen or
used eelluioid, only a few know what it is
composed Of or know how it is made. The
follow ing is a description OF the process
carried out in a factory near Paris for the
production Of celluloid: A roll of paper is
slowly unwoand. and at the same time
is saturated with a mixture of five parts
OF sulphurie acid and two parts OF nitric
acid. which fats upon the paper in a fine
spray. This g snees the ceilulose of the
paper inta pyraxyline (gun cotton. The
ezeess ofthe ac'd having been expelled by
pressrvs the paper is washed with plenty
of water pu. 81 tracese Of acid lave been
removed; It IS tlen reduced 10 n pulp, and
passes on to the bleaching trough. Mo.t
Of the water having been got rid Of by
MEANS &C a straiuer. The pulp Is mix
ed with from 20 to 40 per cent. ofits weight
of csmphor, and the mixture thoroughly
trisuFated undor mill-stenes. The neces-
sary e~oloiing having been added in the form
Of powder, a second mixing and grinding
follows. The finely divided pulp is then
81 aad ouf in thin layers o. s'ahs. and from
awea : "a twenty five OF these layers are
placed in an hydraulic press separated
from one another by sheets Of thick blot
ting rape~, and are Subjected to a pressure
of $50 atmospberes IN i all traces of moist
ure have been got rid of. The matter is
then passed between rollers heated to be-
tween 40 and $50 degrees Fahrenheit,
whence it issues in The form Of elastic
sheets. CeIlnIoid is made 10 initiate am
her, ebony, ivory, etc, and besides its en-
ployment in dentistry is used to make
mouth pieces for pipes and cigars, handles
for table knives and umbrellas, combs,
shirt front and collars, and a number of
fancy articles.

TIE OLD DOCTOR.
n Title Of which fhe Average PhysI-
elan is DeservedIy PrOud.

In the f~ullness of time the physician be-
comes ''the old doctor in his locality.
This is too frequently a title earned by
length Of years, not by meritorious service,
in the cause of humanity. 1t is a title
longed for by many before age gives them
a right to the distinction. Men of less
than t~hirty-fivc years have been known to
argue that the "oId DOCTOR distinction
belonged Of right to them. After fifty
five years it would seem proper to advance
the surviving members Of a graduating
class of thirty years ago to this proud dis
t%inetion. Age in the profession should be
considered rather than number of birth
days. 1t may seem rather odd to devote
any time to this question, but every prac-
%titioner knows that the compliment, "IIow
young you looki' has no modifying inlu-
ence over the ordinary practitioner. If you
would please your family physician, re-
mark on the grayness of his beard and
the badness of his pate. This may make
him replace some old-fashiened nauseous
dose by some modern elegant pharmaceu-
tieal preparation when next he has the
option.
Whether the old doctor is a better pbysi-
elan than the man Of fewer years depends
much upon the sort Of man he is who is
under consideration. There can be no
doubt that habits of study. of keen obser-
walton and Of correct reasoning, give the
old man a great advantage over his younger
colleague. 1t is also certain that if his
years have been lost in a struggle for
money, while study has been neglected
and observation left Impractical, the
younger man, even if he be fresh from the
schools provided they are good ones), is
the safer and better medical man. The
rough work of the profession, the charity
and hospital cases, the fatiguing country
practice and the exhausting night work,
belong by right to the younger men, who
are able TO work awhile for the experience
they will require in later years. The lar
ger fees which flow from consultation and
Office practice should go to the old doctor,
provided he proves himself worthy of re-
ceiving them by his cool Judgment. careful
examination and good ~eounsels. The In
dian principle of depending upoa ''the old
men for counsel and the young men for
war applies with especial force to the
medical professionals. Louis Globe Dem

THE SIN of OMISSION

II isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives you n bit OF a heart-ache
At the setting of the sun.
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent. dear,
Are yonr haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
out of Il brothers way,
The bit of hcartsome counsel
You were hurried too much 10 say.
The loving touch of the hand, dear,
The gentle and winsome tone
That you had no time and thought for,
With troubles enough of your ovn.
The little acts OF kindness,
SO easily out of mind,
These chances TO be angels
Which even mortals find.
They come in night and silence
Each chill, repraachful wrath,
When hope is faint and tagging,
And a blight has dropped on faith.
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late,
And IT'S not the thing yon do, dear.
It's The thing you leave undone,
Which gives you the bitter heart-ache
AZ the setting of the sun.

EDISON's FIRST SPEAKING PHOSO

AS Illustrating the versatility and fecnn-

trio Light company, tells a good story:
Il was travelling through the west for
Edison. :" he says, MISREPRESENTATION of and
lectures on the telephone. Edison bad pre-
vionsly told me, in a casual way. that he be-
lieved he eould make a talking machine,
and meant to do it some day. In a bnrst
of enthusiasm at Baffalo | baasted that
the wizard would astonish them still more
as soon as he conld find time tn perfect
his talking machine. The audience went
Wild over tho announcement, and it was

sieged and congratulated by an eager
crowd, who extorted from me a promise
that | would hurry MP that talking ma

tom said |, as soon as | conld reach
him lyon must let everything else 60 and
finish that talking machine without delay.
The people are crazy over it. Imadea a bluff
at them in Buffalo, and the whole audience

You have been sent on some message,
1 suppose, he said. won't you sit down
while you tell me your business ?"
He pointed to a chair but the invitation
was lost or Ellie.
"Ob, sir" she said, after a vain endeav-
or to think Of more suitable words, SITS
about father. He can't get work. and he's
so sorry; and mothers been i'll A long
time, and the doctor says if and here
Ellie burst into tears.
"Who is your father?" Mr.. Marriott
asked, after waiting for Ellie 10 recover
herself, which, poor child, she was not
long in doing, for she was very vexed that
she had been 50 weak and silly as TO cry.
John Winter, sir. He"
Game here drunk, and | dismissed him.
1t was not the first time he had been in
my yard in that state, and / never employ
any but sober and steady men,"
He spoke in a very different voice from
that in which he had first addressed Ellie,
and she understood now why her father
had said it wonld be useless to ask for
giveness and another trial of her old mas
ter. But all her fear seemed suddenly TO
vanish, and she told her tale SC simple and
yet so pathetically, and pleaded so hard for
her father, that at last Mr.. Marriott was
touched, and when, leaning on her
erutches, she stretched ont her hands TO
him, ard said, in an implaring voice, "I'll
answer for father. sir; I know he'll never
touch another drop. For mothers sake,
won't you do it ?" tears filled his own eyes.
and lie made an excuse to turn his back
upon the child that she might not see him
wipe them away. Then, when ne answer
ed her, how happy he made her. She for
got her WEAKNESS, forgot everything, save
the one fact that she had got what she
wanted-that her father was 10 have an
other trial, and might begin it on the fol-
lowing morning. Mr.. Marriott cut short
the thanks that were mingled with sobs by
giving her a handful of biscuits and telling
her p%eremptorily to eat them. Then nc
sent FOR 4 cab, and, in spite Of Elias pro-
testations that she was mot at all TOO
tired to walk, he himself put her into it.
He shook her hand very kindly at parting,
and left in It two coins. One vas Of silver,
for her %'.fare," and the other Of gold,
which, ne told her, was ito keep house
With till her father took home his first
weeks money.
It was a very happy Ellie hat was
driven along the streets that day. and
| great was the joy which her good news
gave. Mrs. Winter declared that she would
soon be well now that the dread of the
workhouse had been removed, and John
willingly made the promise that Ellie ask
cd him to give herself and her mother.
What was more, he knelt down and asked
God for grace and strength 10 keep the
Vow vow that no intoxieant should
ever again pass his lips.
So that was what Ellie had done; and
may we not learn from the story a double
lessone Should not the little eripple's act
teach us there is no one too weak and
young TO do courageous self forgetting
deeds; and should not the story of Johns
temptation and fall show us hat VIC
all need to remember those words Of sol
ernn warning, Let HIM that thinketh he
standeth take heed lest he fall.''-Baad Of
