A CHINESE BLUNDERBUss.
A Clumsy and Unwieldy Weapon-A
 Load for Two Men,

A Clumsy and Unwieldy Weapon-A
 Load for Two Men,
 Two Chinese blunderbusses have been received from Shanghai by the Winches- ter Arms company from their agent in China. Tho largest weighs 30 pounds, is over feet long, and the barrel contains almost metal enough to make good sized cannon of tho present day. It ap- pears to be made of iron three-eighths of an inch thick at the muzzle, with bore one inch ill diameter. The wood work extends to within a few inches of the muzzle, and the barrel is made fast to 1t by five iron bands rudely but firmly riv- eted together. Just what kind of wood 1t was made of TO one could tell, but it seemed as hard as hickory. The stock or butt was very small and was not made after the pattern of the stocks of the present arms now in use.
 For tho trigger or hammer a peculiar device was resorted to. An incision about one-quarter of an inch widc was made in the center of the barrel stock, through which, fastened by pivot, was sus- pended the trigger, formed in tho shape of an S, with a split at the top forming two prongs, in which probably was placed some combustible, and when the under part was pulled backward it would de- scend upon little projection at tho left sido of the barrel, probably intended for 2 flint pan. Taking it all in all, it was about tho most clumsy and unwicldy weapon ever got up, and when loaded must have been fully as dangerous to the possessor as the intended victims, if not moro so. Unless he was a giant and possessed of herculean strength no one man could ever manipulate it, and the Chinese must have been giants in the days when it was used.
 It was explained by a representative of the WincheSters later, however, that the guns were intended for two men to handle One man went ahead and car ried it upon the shoulders. Behind him came the soldier who did the sighting and pulled the trigger. No ono was able to tell whatever became of both men after the charge had been fired. It must have kicked bad enough to knock the rear man out the first round, and the man in front well, the concussion would be sufficient to knock the head off an ordinary mans shoulders. The smaller weapon was much after the same pattern, but looked much more harmless. It had a cord at- tached, evidently for the purpose of swinging it over tho shoulder to carry while on a march.-New Haven Union.

How to Insert a Leaf.

Most men when they want to insert a leaf in book put mucilage on both sides of the leafs inner edge, put it in the de- sired place, shut the book, and let the muciiage dry. Afterward, when they come to use the book. they find it hard to read the words at the very inside of the pages, and later on they wonder why that leaf will not stay stuck in. The trouble is that they went to work in the wrong way. The difficulties can be ob- viated very easily. When you wish to insert leaf. turn over third or half inch of the edge of the paper. Put the mucilage only on the outer side of the little flap thus made, taking care to get none on the rest of the paper. Then in sert the leaf and shut the book. When it is opened, if the cutter edges of the sheet have been trimmed. it will be found to all intents and purposes a new leaf, as flexible and durable as any other in the volume. l." ill The Writer.

Peculiarities in Caps.

Wherever a French woman goes she retains the particular cap of her native province, and after the French and Ger man war we confess it was not without a sad feeling of sympathy we saw the wearers of those of Alsace and Lorraine, knowing those names must have been deeply graven on their hearts. At the same time the Alsatian bon, composed of very broad black ribbon, became a fash ionable addition to lady's wardrobe, and must have seemed to the crushed in habiUants of that conquered region like flourishing victor's flag in the face of a foe.
 The volunlinous cap worn bv the women of Boulogne is only. remarkable for its border, being about three inches deep, stiff and fluted. When the wearer rests it falls over the forehead, and is only seen to advantage when walking against the wind, which fills it like sail and makes it stand erect, the fiutings radiating from the face as a center-a little suggestive of the head of a saint in a picture by an old master, surrounded by halo. When the weather calls for warmer covering the cap is surnounted by a hood of some woolen material: never a hat or bonnet. The French peasant remains peasant to the end of her days, and does not affect an inita- ton of her superiors or appear in their discarded finery.-Boulogne Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.

The Wild Horses of Nevada.

Nevada horse raisers and ranchmen on the Pioche and White Pine ranges are complaining of the wild horses of that region. In the Shellback noun talns are bands of from 150 to POO of these horses, each under the leader snip of powerful stallions, and they make regular raids on the ranches and run of the horses of the ranch men. A horse once gone is gone for ever, the Nevada men say, for the wild horses are cunning and wary, and VIII not let a man get within rife shot ot them. Last spring fifteen expe- flenced horsemen and hunters started out with the object of killing as many ot the "bOss stallions" as possible. In a ten days hunt they managed to kill Just one horse.

All Roads Lead to the Novel.

In the literature of to-day, all roads seem to lead to the novel. The historian and Dlographer, the scientist and the es- saylsI, are all likely to turn to fiction at some time or other, either for mental re- taxation or for the opportunity of ad- dressing larger circle of readers than mere n research can hope to attract.

Markneukirchen, little town in Sax ony, is known far beyond the frontier of that kingdom as the place where excellent musical instruments are manufactured. more especially violins, to which latter it owes the name of ''Sa2on Cremona. 9 Its manufactures comprises nearly the whole field of instruments, such as guitars, flutes, clarionets, wind instruments lin brass and German silver). accordions, concertinas, zithers, bass violins, violon- cellos, etc. Many a musician owns all instrument regarding which he barely knows whence it came owing to the fact that large portion of the Markneukirchen manufacturers sail under foreign flag; and many an instrument bearing a oele- brated ''label" originated in the quiet little Saxon town, which at the present moment stands at the head of this special branch of industry.

Power of tbo Ipdustrial School.

No one panacea of any reformer fits the case or can alter existing conditions. Only what mans own soul EGGS as good and wills to possess i5 of faintest value to him. No attempt at cooperation can help till the worker Sees its power and use and is willing to sacrifice where sacrifice is necessary; to work and to wait in pa tience. Such power is born in the indus trial school ill its largest sense; the school that trains heart and mind as well as eye and hand, and makes the child ready for the best work its measure of power can know.-IIclen Campbell.
