SERVED HER RIGHT.
A Woman Who Thought More of Her Dog
Than Her Child Taught a lesson.

A Woman Who Thought More of Her Dog
Than Her Child Taught Lesson.
Women in Paris as in London, have
an Unsuitable mania for carrying or
leading by chain pug-dogs of all degrees
of ugliness. Yesterday afternoon, dur
ing shower Of rain, one was seen walk
ing along the Quai Jemmapes, where
number of workmen had just finished
discharging cargo of coal from barge
The lady held in one hand an umbrella,
with which she carefully protected from
the least drop of wet an ugly little dog
with gorgeous blue ribbon round it's
neck. By her side trotted her daugh-
ter, little girl about three years old,
her shoes not SO waterproof as they
might have been, who, deprived of the
protection of the um brella monopolized
by the dog, was rapidly getting
drenched. AS she was about to cross
the bridge which spans the canal one of
coal beavers went up to her and said
"Allow me, madam, to relieve you of
your dog, so that you may carry your
girl to the other side" The woman ac-
cepted the offer, but when the party ar
rived at the other end of the bridge the
the coal-heaver threw the pug into the
canal, telling the mistress at the same
time: That's lesson to you not to
shelter a dog while your child is getting
wet" The woman screamed and soon a
crowd collected, to whom she pathetical-
ly narrated the as9assina ton Of her pet
Two policemen at her instigation took
the coal-heager to the station, but the
superintendent declined to formulate
any charge against him. All she could
do he told her, was to bring a civil &C.
ton for the value of her dog. She left

American Gun-Makers Secure the Famous
Giffard Gun.
According to news just received by
way of London the Messrs. Colt, our
famous American gun-makers have
bought the American rights to the Gift
fard gun patents for e20O, 900. Experts
who have seen the gam in practice are
enthusiastic in its praise. The French
Government is said to be experiment.
ing on its application to cannon of the
largest size.
What is the Giffard gun? A few days
ago it was exhibited at the headquarters
of the Scottish Rifle Volunteers in Lon
don. M. Giffard himself was present.
To outward appearance it was simple
thing enough, consisting Of small
tube Of toughest steel only nine inches
in length, containing nothing that,
when opened, the eye can see, the ear
hear, the nose smell, or the fingers
touch. Yet that small tube may be des-
tined to destroy empires.
The tough steel tube, nine inches
long, is charged with liquefed carbonic
acid gas the same gas that we breathe
from our lungs after every respira ton,
but converted by liquefaction into one
of the most powerful propulsives known.
1t is fixed to the barrel of the fife in
such O. way that when the trigger is
pulled drop of the iquefied gas is
forced into the breech of the gun behind
the bullet. where simultaneously re-
suming gaseous condition, it developes
a force equal to 500 pounds pressure on
the square inch. The bullet is then
expelled at any degree of velocity
desired, for the power can be
increased or diminished by simple
turn Of the screw. The pressure is
equally distributed and continuously
increased until the bullet leaves the
barrel There is no sudden explosion
such as that which constitutes the con-
slant puzzle of the artillerist to over
come. There is no smoke, no noise, no
recoil, no smell, no heat.
A slight fzz, ike the escape of gas
from a soda-water bottle, is the only
sound which announces the dispatch of
a bullet that f1attens itself against the
target at distance of 1000 yards.
There is no danger from leakage The
new propellant is Indifferent to heat or
damp It will not burst under the i'm
pact of a heavy blow, and it is so cheap
that $50 bullets can be fred at the cost
of a penny. -Philadelphia Record
