USES OF FLOUR BARRELS,

Some of the Pretty and Practical Things
That Can BE Made from Them.
You think you are familiar with
the possibilities Of old barrels. You
know how to make chairs Of them.
You have improved vastly on the
rather primitive affair your ingenious
grandmother was proud Of having
fashioned out of barrel.
Did it ever occur to you that there
are other possibilities in an empty
barrel? Have you ever tried making
a table of one? Four nicely curved

The Old Kitchen Grlddle.

All, dear to my heart is the old kitchen griddle
That fond recollection presents to my view,
Whose fumes never failed to untangle the riddle
Ofwhat for our morning repast would accrue
How gently II simmcred when cascades Of bat
tor
We're shed on its black, oleaginous disk,
And sputtered anon when TO make the thing
fatter
The grcaser o'ersprcad 1t with impetus brisk
The old kitchen griddle, the fat frying griddle,
The griddle whose fruit was at epicures risk.
How well remember this griddle's profusion
OF "buckwheats" and kindred CONNECTIONS
galore,
And likewise the subsequent paunch's protru-
sion
That scattered vest buttons all over the floor.
How we'll it revives, too, the sweet sorghum
wallow
Wherein plunged the cakes in our gorging
pursuit,
And, all the dyspepsia so certain to follow
Our jousts with the old griddle's various
fruit
The SCOT smutted griddle, the lard lathered
griddle
The griddle that caused for me pangs most
acute.

Dangerous Habit.

Amateur sportsmen encounter good

such popular amusement in England, it
is quite as desirable to know who and

the whereabouts of the game.

sportsman of gamekeeper one day when
the hunting season was at its height.

QUEEN LIL'S SIDE.
The Presidents Sense of Justice Ap-
pealed to.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. S.-A letter has been
received here from John f. Colburn, min
lister OF the interior of Hawaii. in which
he outlines the position Of the deposed
Queen, OF whom he is a supporter. The
letter is addressed 10 j. II. Cans. of this
city. whose wife is an aunt of Mr.. Col
burn. Cans is asked 10 forward the let
ter TO President Harrison. which he has
done. 1t is dated January 18th. Colburn S
story of events which led up TO the depo-
sition of the Queen, agrees mainly with
those told by commissioners OF the Pro-
visional Government, but protests against
the action of United States Minister
Stevens and commander of the Boston,
and says the dethronement OF the Queen
was uncalled for and unwarranted, and
was a violation of the rights Of the ma
tive Hawaiians. He says the Queen and
her Cabinet were removed under protest
and now await hearing before the United
States Government. The steamer which
carried the representatives of the Provis-
ional Government refused 10 carry the
representa- tive of the Queen, but he says
the legitimate Government will be heard
from later. Cans, in forwarding Colburns
letter. appeals to the Presidents sense of
Justice 10 stop and consider before uphold
ing the usurpation of foreigners in the lit
tie kingdom.

VESUVIUS EXPERIMENTS.
Ihe Target Ready for To-Day's Tests.
Captain Raplef's Fuse.

PORT ROYAL, S. c., Feb. S.-Little
other work than such as related to future
tests OF the Vesuvius' guns was accom-
plished In Port Royal sound to-day. The
Vesuvius left her station at 7:3O fhis
morning and anchored near the Philadel-
phia off Bay Point The Wahneta laid
at Port Royal dock overnight and fol-
lowed the Vesuvus a few hours later.
She carried the representatives, of the
press, and was employed throughout the
day in assisting steam launches in lay
ing out a course for the gun trials. Be
fore nightfall the course was completed
and the target stationed. This has Seen
remodeled from the original design. 1t
consists Of a raft, surmounted by tower
Of whitewashed barrels. from the sum-
nit Of which floats a red flag.
A new experiment was made to-day
with the view Of further testing the
efficiency Of Captain Rapieffs fuses.
Large wooden plugs, into the forward
ends of which fuses had been inserted.
were fired from the pneumatic guns. The
plugs were fitted like shells, with gas
cocks and centreing. and fell 300 yards
from the vessel. All parts of this unique
projectle were picked up by the boats
and returned to the vessel, where they
were carefully examined. AS n result OF
these experiments the larger of the safety
pins with which each shell is provided
will be employed when practical tests are
made. Gunpowder shells will be fired to-
morrow, but there Is scarcely a hope that
the experiments with the high explosives
will begin before Monday next A days
bad weather might delay the completion
Of the tests until the middle Of next week.
