Before Watts, the discOverer Of the
present mode Of making shot, had his
notable dream, induced by overindul-
gence in stimulants, the manufacture in
question was a slow, labOrious and con
sequently costly process. Great bars Of
lead had 10 be pounded into sheets Of
a thickness nearly equal TO the diameter
Of the shots desired. These sheets had
then to be cut into little cubes, placed
In a revolving barrel, and there rolled
until, by the constant friction, the edges
wore off from the little cubes and they
became spheroids.
Watts had often racked his brain try.
ing to discover some better and less
costly scheme, but in vain Finally,
after spending an evening with some
boon companions at an alehouse, he
went home, went to bed and soon fell
asleep. Ills slumbers, however, were
disturbed by unwelcome dreams, in one
Of which he was out with 1.-THE boys,
and as they were stumbling home it be-
gan 10 rain shot-beautiful globulos OF
polished, shining lead-in such numbers
that he and his companions had to seek
shelter.
In the morning Watts remembered his
curious dream and it obtrudod itself on
his mind all day. He began to wonder
what shape molten lead would assume
in falling through the air, and finally,
to set his mind at rest, he ascended
to the top Of the steeple of the church
of St. Mary at Radcliffe and dropped
slowly and regularly ladleful Of
molten lead into the moat below. De-
scending, he took from the bottom OF
the shallow pool several handfuls of the
most perfect shot he had ever seen,
Watts fortune was made, for from this
exploit emanated the idea of the shot
tower, which ever since has been the
only means employed in the manufac
ture of the little missiles SO important il
war and sport.-Boston Commonwealth

Dr. Pye Smith holds that there is no
fear of the ordinary man using his
brains too much for health, and he does
not believe that mental labor or honest
work Of any kind interferes with health
or shortens life a day. lie maintains
that excessive eating is the abuse that
tends to the injury Of brain workers
more than any other cause.
Many active brain workers have sud
denly broken down and fancied that it
was due to brain fatigue, when, rs a
matter of fact, it was due to over stuff
ing their stomachs. The furnace cen
nection with mental machinery became
clogged up with ashes and carbon in
various shapes and forms, and as a re-
suit disease came, and before the case
was fully appreciated demoralized con-
lition of the nervous system was man
irested and the prosaic cause for tho
collapse was suppressed under the eu-
phemistic ''mental overwork. Pitts

rHr prArA oF TOMMY.
virginia Hospitality Could rot BE Di


regarded Too lightly.
The south has always been known for
its hospitality, and nowhere has this
quality been more religiously main.
tanned than in Virginia. Unfortunately
the war made sad havoc with the Vir.
Rinian's resources, but his old time open
heartcdness has never altered.
Some years ago q friend Of mine trav.
cling In the lower portion OF that state
stopped for few hours with old ac.
quaintances and remained for tea. An
occasion Of this kind IN Virginia calls
invariably for the favorite dish of the
south--fricd chicken.
Alasl there was Int one young chicken
on the place, and thlt one pet. 1t had
been left an orphan by its mother at a
very early age, and, like Pip in Charles
Dickens "Great Expectations, had been
brought up by hand. The children
called it Tommy, and were very fond Of
it, while Tommy in turn was attached
to the children.
The matter was a very serious one,
and a family consultation was held.
Virginia hospitality could not be lightly
disiegarded, and 1t was decided that
poor Tommy must become the sacrifice.
My friend Of course knew nothing Of
the tragedy that was being enacted for
his comfort, and when tea was served
regarded the plate Of nicely Drowned
chicken with contemplative JOY.
Soon, however he became aware that
something was amiss An air of silent
sorrow pervaded the little family group
usually SO gay, and the children took
nothing ON their plates. The chicken
was passed, but with the exception Of
my friend no one partook. Selecting a
juicy looking drumstick, he fixed it
with his fork, and cutting of a choice
bit conveyed it to his mouth.
At this there was a sudden and heart
breaking howl from one Of the little
boys, "Oh, mamma, mamma, he's eating
up our Tommy
Thereupon the other children mingled
their voices in wild wailing, and the
older members burst into uncomfortable
laughter in which, as the truth dawned
upon him, my friend joined.
Then there came explanations, more
laughter and tears, and adjustments all
around.
Poor Tommy could not be restored to
life, but he was buried under big apple
tree with appropriate ceremonies.-Al-

The statement made in connection
with the death Of Colonel Gilmore that
wine and banana juice combined made
a deadly poison has caused much com
mont and much more comparing Of
notes. That TO eat bananas and drink
wine Immediately afterward is to court
certain death, rs was stated by a gentle
man Of some experience, is not correct,
or l would have died score of deaths
from poison before this, and the inhabit-
ants Of the West Indian islands would
have been decimated time and again,
for the combination is common among
those who can secure wine.
It Is possible that some particular
wines are dangerous in combination
with bananas, but the rule does not ap-
ply either to champagne OF sherry. The
suggestion, however, that bananas are
injurious in connection with anything
Is rather a novel one TO me, because
there are few fruits which will preserve
life and health like the banana. When
properly ripened the fruit is at once de-
licious and nutritious. Louis Globe.

A very singular story is told concern
ing the vagaries of one mass of globe
lightning. A tailor in the Rue st.
Jacques, in the neighborhood Of the Val
dc Grace, was getting his dinner one
day during thunderstorm when he
heard loud clap, and soon the chimney
board fell down, and globe Of fire as
big as u child's head came out quietly
and moved slowly about the room at a
small height above the floor. The spec.
tator, in conversation afterward with
N Babbinet, Of the Academic des
Sciences, SAID il looked like good sized
kitten rolled up into ball and moving
without showing its paws. IL was bright
and shining, yet he felt no sensation OF
heat. The globe came near his feet, but
by moving them gently aside he avoided
the contact.
After trying several excursions in diff.
ferCnt directions it rose vertically to the
height OF his head-which he threw
back to prevent it touching him
steercd toward hole in the chimney
above the mantelpiece, and made its
way into tie fue. Shortly afterward-
"when lao supposed it had had time to
reach the top" the tailor said-there
was a dreadful explosion, which de-
strUyed the upper part Of the chimney
and threw the fragments ON to the roofs
of some adjoining buildings, which they
broke through. Chambers Journal.

A Woman's cssnce Receipt Of Tidings Of
unr Kin 81 EkanaNhntlln.

A Womnn's cssnco Receipt Of Tidings Of
Her Kim a. famthotisn.
More than half a century ago William
Tolinan sailed on whaling ship bound
for the northern seas. The ship was dis
abled and put into Kainchatka for re-
pairs. Mr. Tolman was a master me-
chanic, and so well pleased were the
inhabitants with his work Of repairing
the disabled ship that the authorities Of
the place induced him to stay. A few
years after he married a Russian girl,
BY whom he had daughter and two
sons When the daughter was eleven
years old her father sent hor to America
on whaler in charge OF the captain.
The ship put into the port Of New Lon
don, Conn, and the captain sent word
to the girls relatives in western New
York, who came to New London by
team and took her to their home. After
ward she, with relatives, came TO Michi-
gan.
The girl grew to womanhood, married
an Episcopal clergyman named Dunn,
and settled down in Lawrence, Kan.
For fifty years Mrs. Dunn never heard a
word from her parents in faraway
kamchatka. One day about a year
ago she chanced to speak to Russian
in the streets of Lawrence, and was sur
prised when the subject of the czar said
he once knew William Tolman, her
father, and two brothers. He said that
Mr.. Tolman was dead, but that the sons
were alive, but very poor. One of them,
he told her, was trapper.
The Russian gave Mrs. Dunn their
address and she wrote to them, sending
them clothing and many useful pres
ents. In due time she got letter from
one brother, the first for over fifty years.
The letter was passed around among
the relatives. Yesterday w. 7. Hess,
OF this city, got letter. written in Rus
sian, from one of the Tolman brothers
in Kamchatka. Not being a Russian
scholar he went out of his store to find
some one to translate it. He espied a
street fakir, and he asked him if he
could read the letter. The falsir looked
at 1t and replied, "Yes, sir; it is Rus
sian and from Kamchatka." He trans.
lated the letter for DIR. Hess.
Here is the funny part Of the whole
thing" said Mr. Hess. Mrs. Dunn
learned of her relatives through a Rus.
sian on the street in Lawrence, Kan,
and l had one of her brothers letters
translated by Russian found on the
street in Grand Rapids. The William
Tolman who sailed on the whaler was
my uncle, for whom was named. Fun.
ny how we get news from relatives
sometimes" continued Mr. Hess. -
