Professor Bruins of Tubingen, one of the
leading surgeons of Germany, has made an
interesting report concerning the efficiency
of Germany's new magazine gun. Expert
ments were made on corpses, placed at cer-
tain distances behind each other, like ranka
of soldiers. These demonstrated that the
new missiles penetrated, at distance of $50
feet, four and five ranks of company, ar
ranged behind each other in the ordinary
way. At 1900 feet the balls pierce through
three ranks. They pass entirely through
the body and carry beyond, even when the
hardest bones are pierced. Several ranks
have been pierced at distances of 5000 feet.
The missile never remains in the wound.
This ia the way Private John Alden, the
congressional wit, got his title: He ran for
congress In Mississippi against General
Tucker, who opened the campaign with a
rhetorical aliueion to his services in the war,
describing battle in which he had COM
manded the confederates, sleeping in tent
on mountain side on the night of the battle,
When he had finished Allen got up and said /:
"Friends and fellow citizens: It's all true
what General Tucker told you about sleeping
in his tent that night before the battle. I
know all about 1t, for was guarding that
tent all night long In the cold and wet on
picket. And now want to just say to all of
you who were generals In the war and slept
at nights in your guarded tents like General
Tucker, you vote for him. But all you fel-
lows that guarded the generals tents in the
wet end cold like me, you vote for Private
Allen. OF course Private Allen was tri-
umphantly elected.
These were the impressive words of old
Moltke when he spoke recently upon the
German army bill: Gentlemen, if the war
which has hung over our heads, like the
sword of Damocles, for more than ten years
past, ever breaks out It's duration and end
cannot be foresesn. The greatest powers of
Europe, armed as they never have been armed
before, will then stand face to face. No one
of them can be shattered in one or two CAM
paigns so completely as to confess itself
beaten and conclude peace on hard terms, or
as not to recover after year or SO, perhaps,
to renew the conflict. Gentlemen, 1t may be
a Seven Years' War, 1t may be a Thirty
Years. WarAwoe to him who sets fire to
Europe, and Is the first to apply the torch to
the magazine! When such mighty issues are
at stake-all that we have won with heavy
sacrifices, the existence of the empire, per.
haps the continuance of social order and civ
ilization, at any rate hundreds of thousands
Of human lives-the money question becomes
a secondary consideration and every pscuni-
| ary sacrifice seems justified at the outset.

A PROUD MOMENT,

There are proud moments in the course of
human life. 1t is a proud moment for the
boy when he is allowed to change the indis-
criminate dresses of babyhood for the little
breeches of boyhood. 1t is a proud moment
for the girl when she puts on long dresses.
It is proud moment for the young man
when at his graduation from college he
stands MP and in as thunder tones as he can
command pronounces the Grafton which
ought to change things. 1t is proud mo-
ment for the young woman when, clothed in
her best bib and tucker, and surrounded by
friends and flowers and music, she reads her
graduating essay and tells her playmates how
to be happy though unmarried; and it is q
still prouder mement when she stands up in
promises herself to love, honor and disobey

man when, after much wirepulling and

admiring fellow citizens serenade him and
call upon him for a speech. 1t is a proud
moment for the mature woman when she
gazss upon the last of her lovely daughters
wedding the man of her (the mother's)
choice.
And so forth and so on. These remarks
naturally lead to consideration of the fact
that 1t ia proud moment for the New Ha-

The railroad man related an incident
which took place several years ago,
which he said put matters in a bad light
and made the pay train tempting to train
robbers. A newspaper reporter on one
Of the dailies Of Western town wrote a
long article stating how much money it
required to pay of the employees Of the
road, and concluded by saying it was
singular that the robbers seldom held up
pay trains. The figures the newspaper
man gave were correct, and the article
attracted Widespread attention. Several
officials Of the road went to the general
manager about the matter and began to
suggest remedy for what they eonsid-
cred very bad practice.
The general manager explained to
them that the amount of money carried
on pay trains was small compared to
what is carried on a regular mail and ex-
press train, but the matter was not set
tied until the newspaper man published
an interview with the general manager,
giving the facts and stating the manner
in which business was conducted on pay
trains. The railroader said, however,
that the danger of pay train robbery is
very slight. The robbers have posted
themselves about these matters. Il Sa-

New and superb Dining Car OUTFIT.

The dining cars just completed for
the Great Rock Island Route, not only
embody all the latest improvements in
general use, but especial and distinctive
features of excellence, which render
them unapproachably superior to ordin-
ary dining cars. They will be placed
on the Rock Island Route west Of the
Missouri River on and after March 20,
1890, and will impart the crowning grace
of perfection to it solid vestibule ex-
press trains, giving that road o continu-
GUS through dining cur service between
Chicago and Denver, Colorado Springs
and Pueblo. The Rock Island is the
only line that runs two vestibule ex-
press trains every afternoon from Chi
cago to Denver. 1t is not only the fast
line, but it is also the most completely
equipped of all the Colorado roads, with
elegant day coaches, Pullman sleepers,
free reclining chair cars, and the finest
dining cars in the world.

NOT A BAIT FOR ROBBERS.
A Railroad Man Tells Why Pay
Trains Are Never "Held Up"

"Why is it that train robbers never
plunder a pay train9"
because they know their reward
would be too insignificant"
That is the way an ex-railroad man put
it the other night.
'Less money" he added, ''is carried
on pay train than any other kind Of
train. Some folks imagine that the pay
of the employees Of the two great systems
terminating here, aggregating hundreds
of thousands monthly, is piled away in
the cars and is hauled over the road. |"
'Isn't that the case2"
"Great Scott! no. Trains would be
robbed before they got well out of Sa-
vannah. Besides, who would be able to
keep up with carload of money! It is
largely silver, and the ten-cent pieces
and the nickels and the coppers would
run away with things.n
"How is the business conducted,
thenw
Easily enough. In fact, there is but
one way to properly carry it on. That
way is to draw on the banks at each city
for enough to pay off with until the next
city is reached. For instance, in leaving
Savannah over either the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western Railroad or the Central
Railroad just enough money is taken to
pay off employees, including agents, track
hands, operators and others at each of
the stations This amount is not very
large. The largest amounts are paid out
in the cities. For instance, in Macon the
engineers, firemen, conductors and yard
hands and others of the Savannah and
Western Railroad are paid off; in Au-
gusta the employees Of the South Carolina
division Of the Central are paid off; the
same is true with the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway. BY this means
the largest sums paid out amount to little
more than a transfer Of money procured
from the banks through the paymaster Of
the railroads to the employees; The sums
paid out on the line between the head
quarters of each division are small com
pared to the amounts paid out in the
cities. None of the engineers or fremen
or conductors or brakemen are paid of
at points along the line. They are the
employees that get the largest pay
