A HUMANE BULLET.
One That Wounds without Producing Any
Pain.

One That Wounds without Producing Any
Pain.
Cen. Tweedio has designed bullet
which is thought highly Of by English
ordnance experts and is, In their opin-
ion, something that will meet . long
felt want. Tho new small-boro bullet
has been found to pass through living
animals in less sensitive parts without
their being aware that they have been
struck ut all. This Is due to the COM
bination Of high velocity and small d.
ameter. In war the object is to disable
men, and this is often moro effectually
fulfilled by wounding than by killing, be-
cause wounded man ut tho moment
requires one or two men to look after
him, while the dead man is for tho time
let alone. II tho wound, however, is
one that hardly makes its existence
known, tho immediate object may not
DO answered. A savage especially
would despise wound of this chnrac-
ter. If the bullet strikes bone the ef-
feet Is different, because the bone splin-
ters terribly under blow at high We.
locity, but that for what are called flesh
wounds the small-bore is nowhere"
Con. Tweedie's bullet has mantlet
or case which is closed ut the base and
omen at tho head, tho mantlet ending
about half way between the shoulder
and the point Tho result is that on
striking, the head spreads or "mush-
rooms % as to make tho bullet. after
having tho advantage Of small diam
eter in fight, to become on impact
practically one of large bore, the main
difference being that the energy con-
sists moro in velocity and less in weight
than was the case in an old largo bore
ball.
II Is also said to be much more
efficient against thin iron or steel plate
for the Same reason-namely, that it
makes much larger hole and acts par
ticularly we'll in oblique impact OF
course it will be clearly understood
that this is only in cases in which tho
plate is outmatched by the bullet.
As the chief objection to the bullet is
that II will not do the work OF an
nrmour-piercing projectile, that objec-
ton can stand, says prominent ordi-
nance authority, and, as the Tweedie
bullet possesses almost all Of tho quail
ties required, it seems very probable
that extensive experiments will be
made to prove its superiority to other
small-arm bullets in uso to-day.-N. Y.

JULES KELLER.
A Crippled Youth Who Has Become q
Famous Gymnast.


Famous Gymnast.
Jules Keller is the name of famous
Cymnast who makes use of his arms
for the purposes most people use their
legs. With his hands he does all sorts
of difficult things-wallss, jumps, slides,
perhaps dances and skates as well. His
hands are not calloused, but smooth,
firm and supple.
Jules Keller is about twenty-six
years old. He was born of poor parents
in Prussia. When lad he was ap-
prenticed to trapeze performer. At
that time Jules had the use of good
strong pair of legs, and used them to
advantage When he was about twelve
yeaxs of age, he was performing in ST.
Petersburg with his master, who used
to catch him as he swung Off trapeze.
One night his master failed to catch
poor Jules, who fell fifty feet, striking
upon his legs and back. They carried
him home to his mother, and everyone
thought he was going to die.
But instead of dying, Jules recovered.
He got back little of the sense OF feel
ing in his legs and feet, though no
never would be able to walk upon them
again. The strength which was crushed
out of them found its way into his arms
and hands.
He lay in bed three years. Then, TO
help himself, he began practicing walk
ing and moving about on his hands,
with his helpless legs balanced in the
air. He practiced until he was sure
that his body would follow unerringly
the order of his fingers.
Then he resolved to utilize his new
ability. He was able to run up and
downstairs on his hands, and also slide
down baluster. He sought and found
a public engagement to exhibit this
''baluster feat" OF all tho feats which
this young man has since learned, thi
remains the most popular.
Perhaps he never would have thought
of doing these odd things if his cruel
misfortune had not forced him to find
some way to help himself. But the
same thing has happened to others be-
sides Jules Keller-that what seemed
ut first the hardest thing in their lives
becomes the cause of their final sue
cess.-Harper's Young People

THE BEST PLAN FOR OLD AGE.
IL Securing q Helpful Circle Of Good
Friends Now.

fTlonOb NOWs
When man is planning for the COM
fort OF his mature and declining years
there are some things that he arranges
for as matters of course. But
there are one or two comforts that he
may miss by not approaching their
value until it is too late to provide for
them. A particular luxury Of this sort,
for which timely arrangement must
be made If man is to have it ut all, is
a periodical meeting with the men who
were young when he was.
In order TO secure this enjoyment
It is necessary, in the frat place, to be
young with q considerable number OF
persons associated in tho pursuit Of
some common interest, and to form
more or less intimate relations with
them. They must be the right sort OF
people, too; people whom it is not only
edifying to know while they are young,
but who promise development which
will make fair proportion OF them
good company in their maturity. Having
formed such an acquaintance betimes,
the habit OF renewing it periodically
should be started early and carefully
nursed, the periods growing gradually
less until they become annual.
The simplest way TO accomplish all
this is doubtless to so early in life to
good college and return yearly to its
commandments. But where that hAs
not been feasible, the same end is often
otherwise accomplished, rs by being n
veteran of the war, and meeting ones
fellow veterans annually ut n grand
army cncampment, or by being an earn
est politician and getting sent pretty
regularly to conventions. The points
that require attention are that you
must meet old friends who were young,
or comparatively young, in your COM
pany, and from whom you are ordinari-
" separated. The old friends whom
you meet every day won't do You
talk to them when you see them about
what happened yesterday and was in
the morning paper. The sight of them
does not annihilate time for you; your
intercourse with them has been too
constantly contemporaneous for that
But the old acquaintances whom you
only see once year carry you back
every time to the years when you first
knew them.--Scribner.

Land Commissioner Carter, ever
wa tchful of the interests of the miners
and citizens of Montana generally, has
decided an important mineral case
arising from a dispute over q claim on
Lump Gulch creek. Says Il Washing
ton special:
The mining claimants are represented by
Thomas 0'Connor. and the Northern Pa
cific railroad and the state OF Montana are
defendants. The states interests are upon
section 16, set apart for school lands, and
the railroads interests are upon the odd
numbered sections within the grant. The
miners ave expended $4,000 in opening
up and prospecting on this particular
claim, and the commissioner holds that it
is beyond question mineral land, and that
the selections by the state and railroad
must be rejected. This decision is in line
with a number of previous decisions by the
commissioner and the interior department.
The principle involved is one of great inter
est to the entire state of Montana, and
there is now pending in the supreme court
a case which will settle the legality OF the
decisions. If against the railroad then the
decisions will be sustained, but if in its ia
vor they will be reversed, and all mineral
lands in Montana and Idaho which were
not discovered orfound to be mineral prior
to 1864 will be declared to be the property
of the company if located on ~odd-numbered
sections.

Mr.. Springer's plan of attacking the
Mckinley tariff by sections rather than
by n general revision bill is COM
mended by the leading Democratic
papers in the country. An omnibus
bill cannot pass the snate; separate
bills dealing with the huge trusts which
are impoverishing the people may pos
sibly reach the president for his sigma
ture. Adverse action upon them by
the Republican senate or by Harrison
will seriously jeopardize the success of
the Republican party next year.-Great
Falls Tribune.
What ~vacillating rot is the above. A
few months ago this journal, as well as
the leading Democratic papers of the
country. wanted to see the Mckinley
bill wiped out of existence, and ex-
pected the lower house of this congress
to pass a general revision bill for the
purpose of making political capital, if
nothing more. Is wool growing a
'huge trust" that it must be attacked
to win a point on the political chess
board? If Mr.. Springer is not careful
he will bite off more than he can mas
ticate.

Had a Racket with Cara.

SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 2.-There is much
excitement at the military department
headquarters here and among the
people of this city owe the situation on
the border. H. j. Mcneil of this city
this morning received a telegram from
his father, Capt. ]. S. Mcneil of the
Texas rangers, which states he just
had a desperate encounter with Garza's
men. A few of his command were
scouting through Cappadel, in Starr
county, where they met a detachment
of about 80 of the Cara revolution
lists. The rangers at once opened fire
on the Mexicans and a number OF the
latter were seriously wounded, nearly
a thousand shots being exchanged but
none of the range were wounded. 1t
is understood in military circles that
the war department at Washington
will at once issue orders for several
hundred troops from the department
of the Platte and other departments
to proceed to the Rio Grande frontier
and assist in hunting down the present
trouble.

sPRINGER's BILLS.

Chairman springer, of the ways and
mean committee, is said to be busy
preparing three tariff bills, which he
will submit to the committee at All
early date. 1t is believed the bills pro-
pose to put lumber, salt and wool on
the free list. If this is the design of
Mr.. Springer, he will pose more as a
demagogue than as a statesman. The
price of salt in Michigan is 81 cents a
barrel, including the cost of the barrel,
and without the cost of the barrel is So
tents. Does Mr.. Springer think he is
going to relieve the people of a great
burden by putting salt on the Tree list ?
1t will be observed that Democratic
statesmen are reauy to strike a blow at
the industries in the northern states
from which they expect no electoral
votes. The assault on wool is to be ex-
pected. The wool growing states are
reliably Republican, but it is thought
MIR. Sprir ger will receive strong sup
port from the eastern manufacturing
states in his efforts to place wool on
the free list. But the injustice of TAX
ing the duty off from wool and not
making a like reduction on manufac.
tured goods will not escape the friends
of the woolgrowers. A bill of this kind

EXIT HILL.

David Hill, through the lapse OF time,
was compelled to surrender his office
as governor OF New York on December
31st. The event was marked by a
dinner at which Hill made an egotisti-
cal, demagogical speech. He said,
"during the seven years l have been in
Albany there had been a constant sue
cession OF victories to the Democracy,
until now the entire state government
was Democratic" He failed to men
ton the corrupt methods used to
bring about this result orth disgrace
ful following which gave him political
prominence. The usurper then makes
illusions to "plutocrats," "centrali-
cation of power" and ''billion dollar
bags Flower at his right hand. In as
Stunning to be the oracle OF Democracy,
he tells his hearers how the party can
regain and perpetuate its power in the
nation, and evidently to please the
Democracy OF the mining states, the
first thing to be done was, ''pass no
free coinage BILL" then "repeal the two
Mckinley laws" In conclusion he
said: New York will not follow the
lead of Nevada. New York Demo
Gratis care nothing tor silver enators
and their protected commodity"
For a political trikster and knave,
David B. Hill is without a rival.
