How the Two-Pounder Rapid Fire Guns
Are Utilized.

How the Two-Pounder Rapid Fire Guns
Are Utilized.
The war department is now furnishing
the army with a number of two-pounder
rapid-ire mountain gun batteries. This
caliber piece is a f~avorite in the United
States army, as in campaigning only two
horses are needed to transport the outfit.
The gun is designed to constitute a system
so light that it may be transported over all
profles of country, either by draught. by
packing on animals, or by portage by two
men. In other words, the gun is made
light enough to make it accessible to all po-
sltions capable of infantry occupation.
In order to accomplish these possibilities
it was necessary to reduce the weight of
the proiectiles in order to permit Of the
of ammunition with q minimum of per-
sonnet and animals. To compensate for
the loss IN mass of projectile there is an
increase in the initial velocities and of tn
density in proportion to Its CROSS section,
thus insuring an effectual power at all
fighting ranges. In order that the noun
tain gun can with safety be confided to the
care Of infantry troops, or. in fact, to any
body of men without technical training in
artillery, the mechanism is made very
simple.
The two-pounder gun is built of Whit
worth huid compressed steel. The carriage
is OF the same general model an the ordi-
nary typo OF field carriage. It has for its
special characteristics small proportions
and extreme lightness. These characteris-
tics adapt 1t for transportation on pack ami
mails and portage. All the ammunition is
fixed. Only two kinds Of projectiles are
used-canister and she'll. The canister
projsctile holds thirty hardened one-ounce
lead bullets. They are held in position by
sulphur. The gun outfit and ammunition
can be transported by TIRES mules.
Six men arc required for the gums crew
and drivers. Three men only ara required
to actually work the piece. The weight of
the ~two-pounder gun is 121 pounds; car
riage, 220 pounds; length Of gun. 46 inches;
diameter Of wheels, 37.4 inches; weight of
each wheel, 66 pounds. The weight of
shell is l pound Is ounces; weight of charge.
81 ounces. Dupont, N. H., powder is used.
The initial velocity impaired is 1,20S foot
seconds. The angle is 20 inches. The
two-poander mountain gun was used last
winter in the battle fought at Wounded
Knee creek.-New York Times.

Alleged Injuries.
American Hog Will Enter the Dutch

Will it be Moody or SanbOrn tor
Circuit Judge of this
District?

FARGO, N. D., June pa sensational
damage suit was commenced here in the
district court to-day. The defendant in
the action is James Eggert, a SOL of M
of the oldest and wealthiest residents of
Davenport, Cass county. Bertha Wang
rang, a handsome domestic employed in
the household, figures as the plaintiff,
and her story is that on the 18th day of
October, 1890, young Eggert knocked
her down and otherwise maltreated her;
that on the following day he assaulted
her. From the injuries then received
she has been sick ever since and it would
take $4,000 to heal the injuries then in
ficted. For a further cause of action
and as a second count she claims that on
the 9Th day of November last he shot her
in the leg by the careless handling of a
gun and that from this injury she has
been permanently disabled; that the gun
shot wound refuses to heal and is to this
day a running sore. It would require
$4,000 to recompense her for this little
mark Of his carelessness. The action will
be tried in the next term of the district
court, before Judge Mcconnell, and
promises to be rich, rare and spicy.

Speed and Safety on the Ocean.

Notwithstanding all the peril from fog
and ice, and from the fury of cyclones and
hurricanes, the steamers of the transatlan-
tic lines are so staunchly built and so
capably handled that a man is less likely
to meet with accidents on board one of
them THAI he would be in walking the
streets of a crowded city. Never before
have SO many passengers been carried as
are carried now. The ships that were re-
garded as leviathans fifteen or sixteen
years ago are as yachts compared with
more recent additions to the various fleets.
Scarcely more than ten years have elapsed
since sixteen knots was the maximum
speed, now it is twenty knots, with the GER
tainty OF. an almost Immediate increase to
twenty-one or TWENTY-FIVE knots.
The tonnage has been increased within
the same period from a maximum of 5000
to 10000, and while ten years ago 200 cabin
passengers were as many as any steamer
could accommodate with a reasonable de.
gree of comfort on n voyage, it is not un-
common now to find over 500 as the COM
plement of one steamer. When steamers
of sixteen and seventeen knots were built
it was said that they were too large and
too fast, and that they would surely come
to grief, but experience has proved them to
be as safe as any. In fact, those who are
best qualified to know declare that the
augmentation of speed promotes safety

Plenty Of Men for the Position.


An interesting story is told, and it is a
true story, of a merchant who inserted an
advertisement to the effect that he wanted
a bookkeeper, married, of irreproachable
private character, an expert accountant,
one speaking French, Spanish and Ger
man preferred, to whom, reference being
satisfactory, would be paid $500 salary for
the first FEARLESS than ten dollars a week.
To this advertisement, which was orig
inally ordered inserted for a week, came
the first day seventy.four The
advertisement was taken out.
Now here is a curious condition of af-
fairs. The men who applied were men of
education; many of them had seen the ira
ditional better days, yet they were willing
to accept $40 a week.
The question naturally arises, is it better
to teach ones sons a trade or to give them
what is technically known as an educationi
There is a heap of thought in that, and If
the material prosperity of the housesmiths
and the workingmen Of whatever name
may be taken, On the one hand, and the
nervous, feverish anxiety of the educated
men seeking clerical situations may be
taken as an index on the other, is it not a
fair inference that there is something rot.

WHAT IS A CAD?
Certain Poiuts by Which He May BE Dis

Certain Poiuts by Which He May BE Dis
tfngulshcd from y Gentleman.
Richard Grant White wrote that "the
dropping aud putting on of HIS in Eng
land is a sure protection against cads," a
statement that was not true, for the reason
that a "cad," as the term Is understood, Is
not necessarily q cockney., but a preten-
tious man of any origin or training who
possesses mean instincts and exhibits them
in his manners.
Possibly nothing" said Il gentleman
VIII has long been regarded as something
of an,arbiter in social questions, more de-
cisively stamps the cad than his preten-
sions in knowing just how to eat, and his
exhibiting contempt for the homely, old
fashioned individual who desires to eat in
another way. You may at once be sure
that the fellow who emphasizes his supe-
rior ability in ordering a dinner, and draws
attention to the manner in which he eats
it, has either just acquired his knowledge
or is mean of character.
IF he is a gentleman, and has always
eaten we'll ever since he was born, he will
be aware that what he personally prefers
is of no more consequence in the real art of
cooking h what his neighbor relishes,
and that eating is not an exhibition, but a
qualification. If you manage to serve a
dinner that would have caused Lucullus to
weep tears of joy, or that would summon
smiles of approval into the face of Mr.. Nc
Allister, and yet fails to please the appe-
tite of your guests, you lave made a dead
failure of it.
"Yet you will find the cads l refer to ex-
pressing supercilious disdain of the person
who would call for roast turkey in prefer
ence to canvas back duck, or exhibit a
fondness for fish chowder when bisaue
d'ecrevisses could be obtained. The cad
will be shocked when a barbarian puts
horseradish on oysters, and nearly faint if
butter is reqested at dinner. He is not
content to allow these slight
places to pass, but must impress upon peo-
pie about him that he is deeply affected by
the vulgarity of them.
"All this is done with an air that makes
every one about him feel very ignorant.
After dining with such a man one rises
feeling that he has attended a terribly
formal ceremony, in which all cordiality,
ease and enjoyment have been lost in the
labor expended to be absolutely correct.
Perhaps the man who knows it all has
really given a very good proof of his cpl
curean taste, but it is more likely he hasn't.
In either event he has shown himself a cad
who would not be tolerated outside the
parvenu crowd that can be hoodwinked
into believing that good manners are
taken on and put off like the kingly gar
ments worn by even bad actors. New
