4 Terror of the Seas.

The tests of our naval volcano, the
Vesuvius, are more than satisfactory. She
can throw five shells from each of her
three guns in seventeen minutes. Her
range is over mile One more test re-
mains to be made, one which will show
with what degree of accuracy she can
throw her shell when rolling on the
waves.
The Vesuvius, compared with the big
cruisers, looks very small. At miles
distance she would be a target difficult to
hit. If she can be handled well in battle
on the high seas she will be a dreadful
object to encounter. One of her ten-inch
shells, containing 200 pounds of dyna-
mite, if dropped near an ironclad would
settle the fate of the big vessel.
When she has the range she can drop
with these shells 5000 pounds of dyna-
mite within forty five minutes upon or
around any object large enough to make
a good target. The ship subject to such
a rain Of fire would be in perilous con
dition, no matter how stoutly built Her
full capacity, however, with 15-inch
shells, containing 800 pounds of ex-
plosive each, would be 10, 200 pounds in
half an hour.
The Nesuvius, of course, could not be
effective unless she was within not more
than a mile of her adversary, which
might begin firing on her half an hour
before she could use her guns. Her
small size is her protection, as many
shot would be wasted before so small
vessel travelling at high speed could be
hit.-Ne,7 York Telegram.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Grief is a hot spring; the more it is re-
pressed the more it spouts.
A beast in pain seeks solitude. Man
alone makes a parade of his misery.
Fortunes are made by taking oppor-
tunities; character is made by making
them.
Wit should be used as shield far-aN'
others.
We always like those who admire us.
We do not always like those whom we
admire.
Never chase a lie. Disprove a lie, and
the liar who invented it will invent an
other one.
Life is long enough for him who knows
how to use it. Working and thinking
extend its limits.
When we have a sorrow which we do
not wish to mention, we speak of others
which we hid formerly.
When we do good to our fellow suff-
erers, we invest in savings bank from
which the heart receives the interest.
II you nave conquered your inclina-
ton, rather than your inclination you,
there is something for you to rejoice at.
Suffering IS our most faithful friend.
1t often returns. Often it changes It's
garb and even its face; but we soon rec
ognize it by its cordial and intimate en-
brace.
When you are young grief is TEMPEST
which prostrates you; at mature age it is
simply north wind which adds wrin-
kle to your brow and one more white
hair to your head.
A graceful behavior toward others is a
constant source of pleasure; it pleases
others because it indicates respect for
their personality, and it gives tenfold
more pleasure to ourselves.
There is no contending with necessity,
and we should be very tender how we
censure those who submit to it. IT'S
one thing to be at liberty to do what we
will, and another thing to be tied up to
do what we must.

Manufacture of Slate Pencils.

One of the most peculiar branches of
industry in this country is the manufac-
ture of slate pencils. There is only one
slate pencil factory in the United States.
1t employs twenty-five hands, who turn
out 80, slate pencils every day. The
method of manufacture is a good dear in
advance of the primitive methods en-
ployed some years back. Not long since
the blocks Of soft slate from which pen
ellis are cut were sawed in lengths and
distributed among the neighboring labor
ers' families to be whitfield down to pen
Gil shape. Those working at them could
earn about fifty cents per 1000 Now
the blocks are put into a machine and
cut into square lengths by revolving
knives, and the lengths are afterward
rounded and polished by emery bolts.
One man can cut and finish about 5000
pencils per day.
