a New German Field Gun.

The new German field gun might be
described as an enlarged rifle, for that is
what it really is. The ammunition, like
rife cartridges, consists of one piece
only. Ignition is produced by ready
fuse, and the four kinds of projectiles at
present in USE. e., shell, explosive
shell, shrapnel and grapeshot- place
to uniform projectile, an explosive
shell possessing the combined character
istics of shell and shrapnel. Thus the
possibility of gunner mistaking in the
heat of battle one projectile for another
will be averted, while the loading, aim
ing and firing besides being quicker-for
the new arm is loaded and fired in one
third Of the time required in working
the old gun, and the effect and precision
are almost double--will be surer and un-
attended wit danger.
The barrel of the new gun is made Of
cast steel, with caliber of 8 centime-
tiers, and the total weight of the gun,
timber and carriage is slightly less than
that Of the old artillery weapon. Being
lighter, the mobility of the new gun will
Of course be considerably increased. The
timber and gun carriage are made Of iron
and iron plates. Tho timber box is open
behind near the gun when in action.
The advantage Of this innovation is that
the projectilos can be served out from
the timber and ammunition wagon with
greater rapidity. Another important
feature is that Che carriage is supplied
with brake, which counteracts the re-
coil, the process of loading and firing be
ing thus simplified. London Court Jour

A Boston woman. whose name is not
printed, is reported to have taken sing
ing lessons of Jenny Lind good many
years ago and to have found the Swedish
nightingale great scold. Her temper
at this time was such that she would
often fly into great rage, and her hns-
band would have to entice her out Of the
room to soothe her, after which she
would come back with affability drawn
over her wrath SO oppressive in her
courtesy that the student hardly dared
to breathe for fear of starting her off
again.
The American confessed that she spent
more Of her lesson hours crying than
singing, and added: ..Her reprimands
were often personal. She would look at
me and calculate, oh, You look SO ugly
when you singr 1t was impossible to re-
sist apologizing for ones appearance
when she spoke like that, and that threw
her into a new rage. Mahogany Tree

Though ouund have not met for years.
Tonight wake in that mist of tears
One thought Of old had the force to start
The thought that never has left my heart
For love like mine, deny it who can,
Comes once, but once, in the life of man,
And if he triumphs the skies may fall,
And If he loses he loses all.

Some word OF the past, some circumstance,
Has proved the worth of that force unseen
And made you long for what might have been
Or in the future this written word
May plead with notes in my voice unheard
To make you pause at the broken line
And sigh and say. "Au his life was miner
All, then perchance shall hear the grass
Pressed softly back as your footsteps pass
To bring where my sightless eyes may see
The tear for my grave, denied to me.
Nay, do not come, for think my love
Would burst the cerements, the weight above,
And my fierce arms strive through turf ant

For YOU, with that force you feared Of old
No, no; Iwould not that all the pain
feel by you should be felt again.
