An Old Gun.

A relic of ancient days may be seen
in the window of G. Louis gun shop.
It is an old musket, originally flint
lock, but now altered to percussion,
brass mounted. and having 62-inch
barrel, of between 10 and II gauge.
The breech is stamped in three places,
one design being large crown, the
others smaller crowns, having under
them the letters G and V respectively.
Save a little outside corrosion, the
piece is in very good condition, is not
as heavy as its great length would lead
one to expect, and is well balanced.
The sportsmen who are striving to
create the best call around" gun might
get some points from On inspection of
this old veteran. 1t can carry several
handsfull of small shot for snipe, ETC.,
enough slugs aud kuckshot for deer or
bear, while its great length suggests a
feature hitherto overlooked by en-
thusiasts in the evolution of the "all
around" gun, and that. is its adapta-
bility as a fish-pole when gameis shy
a most desirable improvement. The
weapon was brought in for some re-
pairs by farmer. who stated that it
was given him by his grandfather. 1t
is evidently very old, but still in active
service.-0gde,as burg On. 70 Journal.

modern France. signifies yellow-haired,
as yellow hair characterized its inhab-
itants. The English of Caledonia is q

ages. Britain, the country of tin, great
quantities being found on it and ada
cent islands. The Greeks called it AL

Below is picture of Master Garlic
ton y. Herrick, Of Marinette, Wis, the
youthful inventor of toy ball. Al
though now eight years old, he was
only seven when he first conceived the
idea of the toy, knowing nothing Of
patents. It was entirely his own in
yentlon. He has no father living, and
no one to aid him in carrying out his
ideas.
The toy appearing to have much
merit, friends advised securing a pa
tent. An application was filed July
%, 1880, and letters patent received
Oct: ., 1890. The toy consists of a
small wooden ball about an inch or
more in diameter. filled with lead to
give it weight. The ball is colored,
and has the surface divided by a series
OF ornamental stripes of different col
ors, or circular bands of yariegated
nues. A string two feet in length is
attached to the ball, which is twirled
q few times by the one handling it
and then allowed to fly in the air. The

King of Denmark, and is therefore a
first cousin Of the Princess Of Wales
and Of the Empress of Russia. She
was born at Kiel in 1865. The Prince,
who bears the additional titles of Count
of Rappolstein and Seigneur of Ger
oldseck, Wasziegen, is in his sixty first
year, and is widowcr. He is the
father of the Queen Regent of Hol-
land and of the widowed Duchess of
Albany. His first wife was the Prin-
cess Helena of Nassau, sister of the
Queen of Sweden, who died in 1888.
He succeeded to the title in lS45, and
was married in 1853, just five years
before the birth of the princess he is
now about to we'd. He visited England
on the occasion of his daughters mar
riage to the Duke of Albany nine years
ago, and was then created G.. g. B.
About four years ago a lawsuit with
the Grand Duke of Oldenburg was de-
cided in his favor, after nearly thirty

Our Standing ARMY.

II see you speak in this afternoons
Telegraph of the. hardships our SOL
diers had to stand on the plains" said
Fl. T. Darlington, of Chicago, at the
Park Avenue Hotel, "and while I adj
nit that your informant is right in
nearly all that he says, yet service in
the army is delight to what it was
before the war. There is not post
throughout the country that I know of
that is not accessible by railroad, and
which does not have daily mail. The
quarters to which the private soldier is
now assigned are simply palatial as
compared with the old-time affairs.
Take Fort Riley, for example. The
mems barracks are splendidly arranged
and handsomely furnished. Each COM
PAW quarters is furnished with a IL
brary, billiard room, gymnasium and
marble tub bathrooms, while the squad
rooms or dormitories are nicely fitted
with iron bedsteads and the walls are
hung with pictures of army life. The
mess hall at Fort Riley seats 1000 men
at each meal, and the chefde cuisine is Q
salaried civilian at $3.50 q month.
"Life in post is in itself very monot-
onous, and man is apt to fall into bad
habits during his time off just from the
fact of having nothing to do. Then
again in every regiment, or in fact every
company, there is sure to be some
scoundrel who tries his best to make his
associates as vile as himself, and who
does more harm than the officers can do
good. The officers take personal inter-
est,in the men, and do all they can to
raise the standard Of the private. Not
only do they try teaching. but, better
still, actual experience, which, after all,
far excels the other. "-Ne,o York Tele-

HOW TO EAT ,PossUM.
A Dialect Story as Told by Congressman
Coleman, of louisiana.

Dialect Story as Told by Congressman
Coleman, of Louisiana.
Only those who have enjoyed an ac-
quaintance outside of business relations
with the modest Representative from
the Second Louisiana District know
that Hon. Hamilton Dudley Coleman
is one of the best story tellers ever
member of Congress. A year or two
ago, it was at club, after promising
meeting of one of the American ship
ping conventions, that a score OF more
of gentlemen were enjoying lively
run of such stories as "set the table in
roar" Mr.. Coleman was called upon
by companion and told what is given
below, being twice encored, so inimit-
ably did he tell it. 1t is the story of
an old plantation negro.
IF yuh wants to know what's good,
DIES is'en: You look at de 'possum and
smack yor lips, fer he a big. fine Teller.
Den yuh take 'em an go rite bac home,

den yuh salts i'm down and puts i'm
