Granny was going to scold, but tho
corners of her mouth twitched, and
before she could recover herself,
had jumped. up exclaiming:
''Listen, the bells have been ringing
this long time; the wedding is over,
and they will be here directly!'
went once more hastily through
the rooms to see that everything was
in order, and then l strewed flowers
all down the stairs to the front door,
and then Granny and l waited at the
window.
Soon the head of the procession
made its appearance-such a long,
people, several couples, and then the
young ones, and lastly the grand
children all decked with flowers, but
the bridal pair, who were that day
celebrating their golden wedding, were
the most beautiful tight OF all.
Aunt Dernau looked lovely in her
blue lowered damask and three-corn-
cred lace handkerchief, with the gold
en- sprays of myrtle in her hair; and
Uncle Dernau, with his snow-white
curly hair, and tall, upright figure,
looked most dignifed, and quite
grand, too; for besides thegolden sprig
in his button-hole, he wore the orders
and decorations which he had won
during the war; How tender and
careful he was of his little wife, too.
Just us tender and affectionate as
he had been to tho young beauty
when he married her in the sunny
May-time fifty years before!

From the Boston Courier.

From the Boston Courier.
Why should writer who makes q
new witticism about the sealskin
sacque, the plumber, the iceman, the
coal dealer, the Chicago girls foot,
the skating rink, the beautiful snow,
or upon any other subject in which
humanity is interested, be accused of
perpetrating what is termed chest
nut? Is not the subject of love q
chestnut? Is not woman chestnut?
Is not virtue a chestnut? Is not vice
a chestnut? Has not every poet
and proser since Cadmus invent
ed letters harped upon these
strings, and isn't every poet and
every proser harping upon them still?
Solomon says: "There is nothing
new under the sun. Is there anything
whereof it may be said, See, this is
new? It hath been already of old
time which was before u.s." Solomon,
who wrote B. C. 979, was a para
grapher. Isaiah, B. c. 76O, criticises
feminine fripperies more severely than
the funny man OF to-day. What is q
chestnut? Man, human experience,
life, death, all are chestnuts. Even
the little critic who is constantly
crying Chestnut" is reproduction
of some other chestnut, and q very
wormy one at that.

THE OLD HOME.

1remember an old gray farmhouse,
With = film Of old age upon it,
While yet it stood in its prime.
A broad, low.browed old homestead,
Where clambering wild woodbine
Hung out it's flames in the autumn,
Like wreaths on holy shrine.
Great. dropping elms swayed DER it;
And blossoming hIacs tall,
Thrust their purple plumes in the win.
With The bees they held in thrall.
All under its roof so messy,
And around it's heart so warm,
1t gathered its happy children,
In u merry, busy swarm.
With the beat of rain on its shingles,
1t Iilled them all to rest,
When spring brought the muttering show
Surging up from out the west.
Az a hen soothcs her sleepy chickens,
Beneath her wings widespread,
SO We heard the soft, sweet wind song,
OF the old root overhead.
Anu now wncn faII a-dreAmlng,
When it rains, and the wind is strong,

And beat Of the old roofs song,
And the years:fal away and leave me.

S'0w rocking on grand wild surges,
Toward some drea inland shore.
Now drifting among the trec.tops,
Now floating DER rivers deep,
I'LL sink in that rushing, sweeping; sea,
Down to tho land of sleep.

Nolan was regarded as little better
than a traitor for owning himself q

that he ought to be dismissed from

KrupD Guns.

The exclusive use of crucible steel
for cannon, leading to perfection of
means for making it, has been followed
by an increase of lightness in gun or
ganization, which renders possible an
enormous increase of caliber. Here
is a 1O-inch gun, caliber Sd e., 35
times as long as the diameter OF it's
bOre-which weighs only 21 tons.
There was shown me a plate combined
OF IL inches of iron, 2 inches wood
packing, and a second iron plate OF 8
inches thickness, making a compact
mass, which had been pierced by shot
from this gun. The 9.4 shot was
propelled by 165 pounds of powder;
the distance was 491 feet, and after
passing through the treble plate, the
shot actually went 1 mile and 642
yards beyond. An old wrought-iron
gun would have had to be unmanase-
ably large, thick and heavy to do
anything like that, and would never
have fired another shot. In modern
gunmaking mere bulkinessis got rid of,
as in nature the megatherium has
been got rid of, the increased size of
guns representing an increase OF power
rendered possible by refinement Of
material, and the humanization of
horsepowerin machinery for managing
and moving large masses.
Chief Engineer King, in his "War
Ships and Navies of the World" pro-
nounces the 71-ton Krupp gun 'the
most powerful breech- loading gun
ever constructed ON the continent of
Europe" and holds it superior to the
1OO-ton Armstrong. The 71-ton is
80 feet 8 inches long, greatest diameter,
feet inches; length of bore, 2S feet
Z inches; diameter of bore, 1875
inches; diameter Of powder chamber,
1882 inches. Over the tube (of two
parts, neatly jointed) are 4 cylinders,
and a ring around the breech. 1t is
ritied with uniform twist OF l in 45.
1t is impossible to fire it until the
breech is fully closed. The back of
the breech. block is rounded like the
letter d. 1t holds a maximum charge
of 485 pounds of powder, carrying a
chilled iron shell of 1,7OS.8 pounds.
This is the gun that fossilizes so
many fortresses. 1t is quasi-miracu-
lous that this mass can be so easily
moved.--Moncure D. Conway in
Harper's Magazine.

It Contains More Life. Giving Propertios
Than Any Other stimulanr.
A dozen or more gentlemen sat
about table at one Of the great New
York restaurants recently, says the
New York Times, theirfa betraying
the contentment and self-satisfaction
induced by the dinner, which had pass
ed to the conversational and loqua-
cious stage. Flames from soft coal
fire threw ruddy CLEANS across the ia.
BILE, which was Uttered with dishes
and cups. The company was a nota-
BILE one, comprising among others the
leader OF a heroic party in an Arctic
exploration, a white-haired veteran
who had seen service in two CONT
nents, and q sprinkling of army and
navy officers, great merchants, and
rich and indolent loungers about town.
One of the merchants was discoursing
upon coffee.
II tell you" said he, leaning back in
his chair, and balancing his spoon,
upon the eggg-shell edge ofhis cup, "the
old axiom that there is nothing like
leather, is a mistake. There is moth
ing like coffee. It has more life-giving
qualities than anything else, and will
last"
Fright you are," broke in the arctic
leader. II know from my experience.
In the coolest weather we had there
was no such revlvifying stimulant as
coffee. When tired and about frozen
the men wouldn't touch alcohol, but
their first efforts were always to heat
the lamp and dole out the essence of
the fragrant berry. Another thing
peculiar about the coffee We had was
that it was just as good two years
after we sailed as it was the first day
cut"
A beatific smile broke out on the
face of the first speaker as he said:
That is So"
At this stage the old veteran awoke
from his revery with an abrupt
"What' that; coffee? Let me tell you
OF some OF my experiences in the first
days of the rebellion. Ihad command
OF a brigade composed of regiments
from all over the north. We were
stationed right on the Potomac, and
every one but myself was down with
the old-fashioned ague-the kind that
when a man sitting on fence has a
chill the fence for half a mile on either
side tumbles down. I fused to take a.
cup Of hot coffee when / first awoke,
and after thinking over the matter
tried this with the men of one OF the
regiments. No matter what the
weather was, whenever they CAME in
from picket or other duty they had to
gulp down hot coffee, strong as blazes:
The result? Well, after two weeks
trial they never had any more shakes.
l would have tried the same regimen
with the others, but by this time war
in earnest came on, and such little
episodes as having the shakes were
passed by without notice."

The Mortality from Consllmp-
ton.

Within the past year the civilized
world has been shocked and saddened
by the knowledge OF thegreat devasta.
ton wrought by the cholera in Spain;
and every precaution, in the way of
sanitary measures and quarantine
regulations that modern science could
suggest, was taken to prevent it's
spreading into other countries. The
public scanned the columns of the daily
press, eager for information with re-
gard to the advance of this fearful dis
ease, and read with bated breath as
they learned that it numbered it's VIC
TINS by the tens of thousands.
II it was a matter of such deep and
universal concern that in Spain 1O1,-
600 souls gave up their lives to this
fell destroyer, should it not also be q
matter of some interest to our own
people that, within the borders of
the United States, over 81, 500 per-
sons die each year OF pulmonary con-
sumptlon?-that twelve out of every
hundred deaths ARE caused by g. dis
ease which though slow in progress. is
as sure in it's results as cholera itself?
Should it ever transpire that some
means OF prevention should be found,
by means of which people would be
rendered proof against the disease, or
at least could be cured when at once
it had set its alupon them, would it
not be one OF the greatest Doons vouch-
safed to man since the introduction of
vaccination?
Neutrality-suspicious. have from time to
time thought that they had secured
sure cure, if not an unfailing prophy-
Tactic; and, at the present time, since
the discoveries of Koch, all sorts of
parasiticides are being used to kill the
germ of the disease The unfortunate
bacillus is now being hunted down
with pneumatic chambers, deep in
halations, and local applications in
troduced by means of the hypodermic
syringe, with the results that are, to
say the least, uncertain.
But, after all the years of research
devoted to the subject, and out of all
the methods of prevention and cure
that have been suggested, the one that
has given the best results, and is now
being universally adopted, is change of

ALaxity All Around.

Philadelphia Times
A Cincinnati court has decre9d d
divorce in the case of Mr.: and Mrs.
Samuel c: Young, who in an exuber-
ance of feeling not strictly M q reason
ing kind, were married last summer
in an ascending balloon at Pittsburg.
The marriage, it appears; was only
q side show to the balloon ascension
circus. Neither of the principals had
any intention of becoming d party to
binding contract, nor did they ever
consummate the union or live togeth:
or afterward. The only condition Of
the law which had been fulfilled was
to give consent before q qualified
reader of the service-not enough,
the judge held, to warrant him in
refusing the plea of separation filed
by both Mr.. and Mrs. Young. The
decision is not very satisfying. 1t
would have been better sense if not
better law, to have forced the couple
to put up with each other, if only to
point serious moral to the othef
fools who trife with q serious custom.
