GREAT BARGAIN SALE
The Assaulted Men Improving.


Much interest seems to be mani
tested on the part of the citizens
regarding the conditions of the
four men who were assaulted at
camp yards last Sunday night. A
reporter inquired as to their con-
dition this morning and learned
that Messrs. Frank Kennos and B.
X. King, who We're assaulted at
Mumme's yard, are greatly i'm
proved and will recover rapidly,
especially Mr.. King, who is hurt
about the head. Mr.. Kennos is
suffering from internal injuries and
will never fully recover. The con-
ditions of Messrs. Flores and Bear
ing, assaulted = at the yard near
Clouds store, are not so flattering,
as they were far more dangerously
hurt than reported. 1t is feared
neither Of them will ever entirely
recover, though there is no danger
of immediate death.

I am rehearsing a few Of the peculiari-
ties Of the creature which have made it
Of interest ever since the days Of Job,
(which leaveth her eggs in the earth and
warmeth them in the dust" 1t would
appear to be an evidence Of cunning
rather than stupidity for Mrs. Ostrich
to adopt this very simple method of In
cubation. However, 1t has its disadvan-
tages, for while she is away getting a
good dinner her enemy, the white necked
crow, spies the unguarded nest. He
knows he cannot break one Of those
mammoth eggs and devises a shrewd
plan to help him. Taking stone in his
beak he flies over the spot, calculates
with bird sagscity the necessary dis
tance and drops the stone. Plunki An
egg is broken, and he descends to his
feast. This is said to be the same kind
of raven that fed the prophet Elijah.

The cars are of the ordinary size, but
are constructed entirely Of natural gas
pipes, ranging in size from six inches
down. These hollow tubes are neatly
carved, 50 that to the average observer
the fact that they are built of such ma
terial is not noticed. These pipes arc
heavily charged with gas, and with the
aid of boiler and the engines at work
beneath the floor it is said Il run Of 80
miles can be made without refilling the
tubes. A speed can be obtained equal
to that Of cars run by the electric
method. 1t said that one of the latter

Ancien. and Modern English Guns.

Nelson's ship, the Victory, was de-
signed to carry l04 guns. consisting Of
SO, "a and 13 Founders, ranged on her
upper, main, middle and lower decks.
She was also armed with few 69-pound-
er carronades. The weight Of her one
broadside of single shotted guns was
1.104 pounds, which was considered pro-
digious in those days. In the account Of
the battle of Trafalgar, in which action
this ship played SO prominent part, the
broadside that she poured into the
French Bucentaure is described as ter
rife, dismounting 90 Of her adversary
guns and killing and wounding no less
than 400 of her officers and men.
Compare this with our guns Of the
present day, when single gun Of the
Nile or Trafalgar throws a projectile
100 pounds heavier than the whole
broadside of the Victory, while one Of
our 101-ton guns discharges a projectile
weighing no less than / 800 poundsl II
may be of interest to know that while
only 325 pounds Of powder were ex-
pended in the discharge of q broadside
from the Victory as much as 5000
pounds weight Of powder is consumed

Tho.prob1em of tl,e Cradle.

Ever since the world began mothers
have been rocking cradles and singing
lullabies. From time immemorial the
problems have existed. What can we
do with this baby? Where can we put
it so that it will be safe? How can we
manage to secure few intervals Of
peace and tranquillity9 How can we still
its cries and whines? How can we teach
it to walk? In word, how can we
emancipate ourselves from the absorbing
tyranny of these sweet babes, our off
spring?
The solutions which have been in
vented by the solicitude, the ingenuity
and the instinct of mothers have taken
the form of cradles, swaddles, leading
strings and gocarts. The variety Of
these inventions is considerable, and a
description Of them would form, per
haps, a curious chapter in the history Of
hygiene and domestic economy .-Har.

showing That Plants Can see.

Can plants see? Darwin gave it as his
opinion that some Of them can. and an
Indian botanist relates some curious in
cidents which tend to verify the belief.
Observing one morning that the tendrils
of convolvulus on his veranda had de-
cidedly leaned toward his legs as he lay
in an attitude Of repose, he tried series
of experiments with long pole. placing
it in such position that the leaves
would have to turn away from the light
in order to reach it. In every case he
found that the tendrils set themselves
visibly toward the pole and in very
few hours had twined themselves closely
around it-London Public Opinion.
