Obsolete Words.

Any number of obsolete words are to be found
in Webster's Dictionary. They crop out on al
most every page of the big book, and apparently
are inserted for no other purpose than to con-
tinue the growth of the work and increase the
difficulty of acquiring our language. Some idea
of them may be gathered from the following let
ter, written by an alleged poet to an editor who
had treated his poetry with deriSiOn:
Sir: You have behaved like an impetiginOuS

celsitude, carry their ungicity to the height of

The Perplexity of Adam.

l don't know that anybody else ever
thought anything about it, but it has
often struck me that Adam must have
a had great many perplexities in raising
his children. He had never been boy
himself, you know. He couldn't under
stand what it is that makes a bOy so
unexpectedly bounce up and yell as
though his bones were on fire. when he
ought to keep still and not wake his
baby brother. Adam couldn't account
for boy nature any more than woman
can for her husbands politics, and the
poor man must have often leaned
against the shady side of tree while
waiting for the dinner horn to blow,
and pulled his whiskers and thought
He had never felt as though he would
have to get out in the rain and wade in
the mud or die. He couldn't remember
that he had ever wanted to catch flies
and bugs, and run sharp sticks through
not. He had simply taken it for grant
He was not particular about having
the bugs testimony on the subject.
Adam had never had any curiosity to
gourd full of milk, or whether a mouse
would enjoy itself in hot ashes If he
had ever thought of such things he had
inferred otherwise in both cases, and
didn't think it worth while to investi-
gate. Adam had never wanted to stand
on his head or climb a tree when Eve
had asked him to go to the spring after
goat of water in hurry, and he
couldn't understand what under the
sun it was that made Cain do such un-
accountable things as to kick the dog
The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1893-04-20

or upset Abel whenever he was asked
to do anything that would be pleasing
to other people. 1 have no doubt that
Adam used to wake up in the night and
think about these things, and wonder
how long there would have been an
apple left on the tree of knowledge aft
er Cain and Abel got big enough to get
into mischief, even if their mother had
kept away from the tree until they got
there. For anything we can tell to the
contrary it may be that Adam himself
was the first baldheaded man, made so
by scratching out his hair in sheer per-
plexity.-Rdm's Horn.

The Big Krupp Gun.

A large gun, manufactured at the wOrld-famOus
gun works of Herr Krupp & Co., Germany, passed
through Huntingdon Tuesday afternoon, en- route
to the great Columbian Exhibition at Chicago.
The gun is made of an immense cylindrical piece
of steel. forty-Seven feet long and six feet six
inches in diameter, and twenty feet in circum-
ference at its thckest part, fixed at both ends
and riding upon what is called a bridge, support
ed on two fiat trucks. of sixteen wheels EACH
The gun was unlOaded from the British steam
er LOnquie at Sparrow Point Nd. on Saturday
last, and weighs 272,s32 pounds. and has 16ls
inch bore. 1t carries a cOnical shaped shell,
weighing 2,2OO pounds, and will prOpel it 16 miles
1t takes charge of 1000 pounds of powder and
every time the gun is fired it costs for material
5000 marks or ST ,25O. The cost of the gun at the
Krupp works in Essen, Germany. was $4,000.
1t is made of steel and is put together in Sec
tons, varying in length in accordance with the
thickness of the material, and was built for the
Italian government who intend to use it for coast
defence RcfO1ndtOry Record.

A Curious Literary Shop.

The origin of the cheap and doubtful stories
called dime novels and of the matter in very
cheap family papers is more or less of mystery
to most people. The DeadwOOd Dick series and
books of that character are usually without the
names of publishing houses or bear the names of
publishing houses not in existence. The authors
of these stories are unknown to the world, and
this kind of literature is printed with as much
concealment as if it were New York green goods
Down in east side street. near one of the large
and we'll known cheap publishing houses, is the
birth place of much of this kind of literature
Upstairs in an Old-fashiOned red brick building
are the offices and machinery for creating and
publishing a yellOw-back and stereOtyping the
matter that goes into many of the story pa
pers that find their way to every rural and ham,
let postOftice in the country. Not only are stories
printed here and made into pot metal for the
cheap papers elsewhere. but the building con-
tains offices for the authors of the story and
the "bOilers down " or rehaShers of the old story
A publisher. in speaking of his place, said: mot
one person in twenty who writes stories for pub
hcation for the cheaper houses ever sees himself
in print, and not one in fifty who aims higher
