\ brides first lesson, says The Ladies
Home Journal, is 20 respect the eX-
treme SenSitiveneSS of her husband, who
doesn't want people TO know he has just
been married; consequently she will be
wise if. after her first journey, she AS
sumeS gown that has seen wear; If she
will forget to look around in a startled
manner whenever her husband is gone
from her side, as it is not likely that he
is either going TO be lost or stolen. The
next thing is not TO kiss him or hold his
hand in public. or call him Darling"
Any woman can make a man feel her
love without making him feel ridicu-
iouS.
Another thing for her to learn is, when
she is at hotel, not TO grow contiden-
tial with the chambermaid, not TO give
her a piece of her wedding cake and tell
her all about the marriage ceremony,
aud tell her how she locked. You think
this is never done? Ask AT some large
hotel. And she shouldn't giggle or look
surprised wher she gets a letter from
her mother addressed 10 her in her mar
ried name. Men are particularly SenSi-
tive creatures about some things. and
they are rather given to think woman
don't want a name when she acts in this

PNEUMATIC GUNS.
The Armament of the Vesuvius to lie
Given Further Trial.

Given
New YORK, May 24.-The Times has
the following dispatch from Washing
ton:
The Navy Department does not pro-
pose to condemn the pneumatic guns OF
the Vesuvius without further trials, and
new lot of projectiles will soon be or
dered and a new series Of trials will be
made. The advocates of the pneumatic
system claim that the guns of the VeSu-
wins had not been fired often enough to
be properly ranged, and that, with
further experience, much better results
can be attained. 1t is claimed that
the guns are at least superior TO the au-
tomobile torpedOeS in range and
equal to them in accuracy. The
majority of officers who have
given the subject attention, however,
are of the opinion that the sphere OF the
pneumatic gun is limited to use on
shore. where the gun can be absolutely
fixed, and where, by the use OF range
finder, the distance of the target can be
ascertained with great eXactness. These
officers argue that no amount OF rang
ING will enable these guns to be fired
MlLu accuracy WHICH IL 10 RNoS'SAN w.
get the exact range, and when the
slightest variation in the elevation OF
the gun, occasioned by the rolling of
the vessel or even by her Squatting
when running at high speed, will make
a large error in the accuracy of aim,
due to the high trajectory Of the pro-
jectile.
1t is pointed out that 1O-inch breech-
loading rifle, sighted for 1,50O yards,
will, with the service velocity Of 200
feet per second, strike vessel with 20
feet of free-bOa if she is within 42S
yards of the !, 5OO-yard mark. In other
words, the gun will admit of an error Of
42S yards in calculating the range. A
very small fraction of the error with the
pneumatic gun, it is said, would cause
the proieclie to fall so far short or so
far beyond the target as TO
do no damage whatever. At $500
yards, far beyond the range of the
pneumatic gun, the 1O-inch rifle will
allow an error of 200 yards in range.
The department proposes, in the ad-
ditiOna trials, to ascertain whether the
results of Wednesdays trial gave fair
indication of what the vessel can do,
and, unless the results are far ahead Of
those heretofore attained, it can be
safely said the system will not be car
ried any further in the navy. If it is
shown that the system is no more relia-
BILE than the automobile torpedoes it is
probable that the VeSuviuS herself will
be fitted as a torpedo cruiser, having
her guns Supplanted by torpedo tubs
and rapid fire guns.

Women like her very much, and men
speak highly of her when she is brought

never think about her voluntarily. They
appreciate her highly when she helps
them out OF a corner, AID thank her
cordially, and then forget her until they
need her again. She is not apt 10

CHILDREN ALLOWED TO DIE
tsv Parents who Rejected Medicine and

COLUMBUS. o., May 25.-Ihe atten-
tioD of the State Board Of Health has

affairs at SwautOn, Fulton county. Sew
eral children in a family OF that town
have fallen victims 10 dlphtherla ana
their parents refuse to employ physi-
elan. having placed the case directly
in the hands of the Lord and
depending upon miraculous relief
from on high. The course Of the parents
has already resulted i'm the death OF one
child and another is nearing the grave
Secretary PrObst, Of the State Board OF
p-altb. was notified of the affair some
,,avs ago and has. been communicating
with a leading physician OF that place
ia AN attempt 90 have the family employ
physician. He also instructed the
Dbvsician TO have the township trustees
take proper precautions IN order TO pre-
vent a spread Of the disease, as the
fanatical parents do not regard 1t as
contagious To-day Secretary Pro0St
received the following letter from the
physician with whom he has been IN
communication;
"DFAR DoCrOR Yours of the goth
lust received. wish 10 report another
death from diphtheria in the same fam
ily as last reported. These people do
not employ a physician. They simply
RELY upon the Lord to cure or remove,
rs he deemed best, and no precautions
are taken to prevent spread. They do
not regard the disease Is contagious or
Infectious. II seems TO me
that there should be some law compell-
ing parents 20 employ proper medical
relief In such cases, as the disease is IN
creasing, one new case in family of five
children being reported to-day, which is
treated on the expectant plan.
The physicians name IS withheld
from publication at his request.
The case is q most remarkable one IN
another respect. Ii developed the fact
that there is no law in existence by
which parents can be compelled to en-
ploy proper medical attendance Tor
their children in cases of this kind.

How Unnelghborly Men Can be When They
Half Try.

SYRACUSE. n. Y, May % Clerk OF
the State Senate John ID. Kenyon of
this city, has just made a purchase of
real estate in this city, involving an in
veStment of S1S0,000. The purchase
was effected through an agent, for had
the real estate owner known the real
purchaser he would not have parted
with the property for love or money.
The plot adiOinS an apartment building
owned by Clerk Kenyon in a
fashionable quarter of the city.
The owner of the ground was
Charles C. Blair, a note broker and pri-
vate banker, who also built an apart
ment building adjoining Kenyon'S. The
lines of division between the possessions
of Mr. Kenyon and Mr.. Blair were 50
curious that they have for six years
waged war upon each other by add
ing TO the height Of their respective
buildings and by filling up areas with
brick and mortar 10 shut out the light.
The trouble grew out of an encroach-
ment upon the property OF the BlairS by
the Kenyons when they first built. As
the BlairS made the kenyOnS pay dear
ly for this mistake in surveying, an en-
nifty was engendered which has devel-
oped the QuecreSt freaks of human
character. The KenyonS raised fence
of corrugated iron, twenty feet high,
against the windows of the Blair build
ing, and built dead wall of solid brick,
ten feet high, on a roof to further
intercept the sunlight, Then the
Blairs erected 4 bandboX of Il structure,
six stories high, in a position to allow
its tenant to peek into the windows of
the Kenyons' apartments and rented it
to Tom, Dick and Harry" to make
the intentions all the more evident.
The KenyonS retaliated in a unique
way. They put up fence running out
to the street, and on it painted in red
three balls, Symboical of the business
in which Mr.. Blair is engaged, the sign
being SO placed as to seem to be con-
