GERMANY'S BIG GUNS.
A LARGE APPROPRIATION FOR I'M
PROVED ARTILLERY.
New Field Pieces Perfected Under the
Direction of the Emperor-Francs
Won't Be in 1t Any More-Baron Won
Pilsach's Resignation Not Accepted.

BERLIN, Nov. 22.-The extraordinary
credit over 100, ,0OO. 900 marks asked for
in the budget for artillery, is intended
for providing the army with new kind
of field gun, which has been perfected
under the direction of Emperor Will
liams, Count Won Waldersee and Cen
eral Won Schieffebin. 1t is estimated
that the peace effective force will be
supplied with new weapon within a
year. and the war effective within three
years. Germany will thus be placed in
position of superiority to France, the
work of improving the artillery
in the latter country being
still in the experimental stage.
The Krupp works will supply the
castisteel Of which the barrels of the
ney gun WITH be made. The gun will be
lighter than the present weapon, and be
fred in one-third the time with double
effect. Instead of the various projec-
tiles formerly In use, q universal car
fridge will be used with smokeless
powder.
THE EMPEROR AND THE CHURCH.
1t is reported that Emperor William
remarked to the president of the gen.
eral synod apropos of the coming con-
secration of the palace church at Wit
temberg: 1.-THE Reformed church has
become great under the protection of
German princes. If it should again re-
quire their aid they will not fail it." The
remark has excited much attention in
Berlin.
Won PILsACH RETAINED.
The North German Gazette says the
government has negotiated with Eng
land and America, and it is stated has
obtained their consent to the retention
of Baron Won Pilsach as president of the
Samoan council, therefore his resigna-
tion as such has not haen accapted
Los Angeles herald., 1891-11-23

says the attack is also attributable in
part to the need of rest from long
continued mental strain, but there is no
reason to doubt that the secretary will
soon be restored to his usual robust
health.

The Way He Got Even.

recently visited certain part of this
world where it seemed as though every
other man and about half of the women
whom met were the authors of books,
and not few of them entertained the
notion that I must have read or heard
of their volumes of poetry or theology
or romance or criticism or legisties or
piety or science. I was often embar-
raised by the question of new acquaint-
ances, "Have you read my bookY' and I
always felt indisposed to give offense by
repeating Carlyle's reply to the inquiry,
mo; is it big bookP'
On one occasion, however, when a pro-
lessor In the university asked me the ia
miliar question, / bethonght me of a way
of relieving myself from embarrassment
by abruptly, yet I hope courteonsly, ask
ing, 'sHave you read my bookr' The
professor, who had not heard of nv
brochure, though it appeared in print
ten years ago, was put in as bad plight
as be had previously put me in, and his
modification over his ignorance was
even more grieyous than mine. The
uusddityserved me everaftegward when

MAKING DIAMONDS GROW.
1t Is not very difficult II you Turn
them over often Enough with
Profit.
New York Sun.l

"Look at this stone," said q young
journeyman jeweler in a street car the
other day, removing tissue paper wrap
ping from a piece of white wax, in the
center of which beautiful diamond
blazsd t'That is worth at the least
$3.50"
"How is it that you can afford to buy
such valuable stone as that? asked
one of his friends who knew his circum-
stances"
81 viii put you on to the snap said
the jeweler "That stone has been grow
ing for year, and think it has got its
growth"
What do you mean by diamond
growing asked the friend.
IT will tell you. You remember the
little spark had in my scarfpin Christ
mas. Well, this is what it has grown
to in less than year. That little stone
cost me a dollar and the pin cost me
$3.50. / sold the pin for $8, and bought
an eight carat stone little off shade for
a trihe oyers5. Thought q stud setting.
You know you can get those things quite
low now. They are made up by the
thousands by firms which do not take
finished goods. Well. / put the stone in
the setting on spiral and sold it the
same week for $1S. Then went to the
Office and bought the best stone could
get for $15 and mounted that in the
same manner. Iwore it month and
then-sold 1t for $50, and ! put $25 into
another stone. It was a little beauty,
and traded it for another one of about
the same size, and got IS to boot. That
put the stone down to $50, and put it
into setting which cost me So, and sold
it few days Later for $35. Igot another
stone for $50, and had it two months be-
fore l made turn with it; then Icleared
gle and put the money into beautiful
stone, which brought me up to $50, when
sold it in handsome stud setting.
'sThen got chance to sell a ring fol
SIS, and made it to order, putting in {
stone which cost me $3.50. I put thu
whole $75 into another stone, which
carried around for while, and had
fully made up my mind to keep, but 8
butcher offered me 500 for it and l sold
it to him. 1t was in crown setting,
which cost me 1926. For the hundred
got a dandy stone, and / was sure
could keep that one, but have had four
better ones since, and have got up to
$3.50. ] can't go much higher than that,
gness, for there, are few men among
my acquaintance who can afford to
tempt me with a profitable offer for it.
wouldn't sell it tonight for 5000, be-
cause know that 1 have got a bargain.
I'm pretty good judge of diamonds,
and when l put that stone into a nice
ring l will make it look like $3.50 worth,
and ! don't think that anybody can per-
suade me to sell it for anything less. In
all the changes don't think that have
put in more than $40 or $1s of my pocket
money. The rest has all been profit on
the stones and settings

THE BRISTOL BELL.
BY NJ. A. Dewo1rr HOWE, JR.

When George the Second in Albion's Isle
Defended the faith, twas a weary while
Erc ship that sailed from Rhode Islands shore
Gould return to the colonist port once more.
And the churchmen of Bristol, who'd boarded
well
And sent across seas for an English bell,
Had waited full many a month and long
nor the cheer Of their new built steeple's song.
But at last the good vessel at Newport law
And brave little sloop sailed down the bay
To carry the bell to Bristol town,
That should bless st. Michaels with wide renown.
Though the brave sloop's men numbered only two,
Their pride was enough for a galleon's crew,
And their bosoms swelled as they fondly thought
or the fame for themselves in the bell they
brought.
The sky never looked SO blue to them,
And even Despair" seemed an island gem
In the beautiful spread OF the sun lit bay
Forwhen pride Is at work, 1t works that way.
The deck is too lowly place, they said,
FOR our glorious cargo; high overhead
Let's hoist It, that there its far heard neal
May speak for the righteous joy we feel"
So up to the cross trees the bell they swung.
Forgetting by mere mischance its tongue;
What matteri" cried brawny Waldron 81
Win smite 1t myself meath the arching skyi"
Then aloft he sped with mighty sledge
To waken the sounds from the slumbering edge
OF the churchs treasurer no greater bliss
Had fallen to waldron's lot than this.
'Give ear, good helmsmanl ~ he cried aloud.
Az he reached the top of the slender shroud
And praise to himself for his prowess spoke,
And curved his arm for the wondrous stroke
D-o-n-gi Glorious tone How its echoes ran
Around and across the horizons SPAN
Did ever a sound so full and clear
Enrapture a listening mortal's ear?
"Againi" cried the steersman in mad delight,
Still a lustier note from the metal smite!'i
And exutant his comrade called back, BE it SOL
And Bristol shall hear it this time, trow!"
Oh, the ponderous blow that descended then
Twas beyond all telling of song or pen;
For alack and alas by i'll fortunes whim
IL cracked the church bell from top to RIM
Then woe for the pitiful homeward sail
And the crestfallen heroes glum and pale,
With an eager crowd on the wharf to be met
With naught but prayer to forgive and forget
How sing OF welcome turned to tears,
A payment in worthless weight for years
OF the parish thrift What words for the shame
That ashore with the crew and their cargo Gamer
In brief measure their tale they told
But they'd learned lesson that's never grown
old:
When pride, on land, sea, river or bay,
Is at work 1t can work in a wretehed
