From an Exchange.
The only woman garbage inspector OF
Chicago. Mrs. Paul. is said to be a pro-
nounced success in her recently acquired
office. She actually 'inspects," exploring
highways and byways, and does not hesi-
tate to watch the dumps receiving their
refuse loads, which Is certainly carrying
her sense Of duty to an extreme limit. Mrs.
Paul Is independent Of petty politicians,
as her salary is not paid by the city, but
by the women Of the Municipal Order
League, at whose instance the authorities
have given her power to act.

Enterprising men have a way OF
growing land along the marshy shores
of Delaware bay. The plan is to cut
the dilles and let the tide rise and fall
for course of years over consider
able area, including some upland. 1t
is found after awhile that the dilles
may be removed considerably out
toward the low-tide line, and that
many acres of arabic land have been
gained at small cost Marsh compa-
nies usually exist for the purpose of
cooperation in such work, and there
are many quarrels over the land of
men that refuse to join the company in
making a temporary sacrifice of up
land for the purpose of reclaiming sub
merged marsh Tie land thus re-
claimed is extremely fertile, but it usu-
ally yields crop of malaral fevers
when first brought under cultivation.

exactly the same direction, in which.
ever position it may be. 1t is possible,
by the way, in aiming to dcpress the
gun five degrees below a horizontal,
and give it an elevation of fifteen.
Besides the counterweight, which takes
up only one-third of the recoil, there
are two hydraulic cylinders to receive
the rest. These latter are placed in Il
horizontal position, and are movable.
Their pistons are stationary.
A few weeks ago another disappear
ing gun-with Il ten-inch bore-was
tried at Sandy Hook; and ten shots
were fired in about fifty-eight or fifty
nine minutes. This is an average of
about six minutes to shot. The
projectiles used at that time had Il
weight of 575 pounds, and the charges
of powder $50 pounds. The eight-inch
rifle fired from Bufingtou-C -Crozier
carriage took only 4OO-pound shot,
and just half the powder required in
the other test. Seven rounds were
fired in eight and one-half minutes,
and ten in twelve minutes and three
seconds. In one case, fifty-fve sec
onds were consumed in loading, five
in lSising it to a firing position, one in
firing and one in the recoil. This was
better time than has been made with
stationary gun carriages, and the
record has no equal, either at home or
abroad

About 1860, feeling that the country
was too small for him, he came to
America, settling in st. Louis. There
he began to work in earnest. Most of
his time was spent in making designs
for photographers, but he was too am
bilious for that work and induced some
of his friends to aid him in establishing
the German Puck st. LOU, was Il poor
city for such a paper, and the venture
lived only few months.
The thwarted but not discouraged
kcppler went to New York i'm 1872.
His genius was at once recognized, and
he and Matt Morgan drew cartoons on
Leslie's in opposition to Mast on II, r
per's. He remained with Leslie until
1876 when, in company with A. Swartz-
mann, he revived the German Puck.
the English edition of which appeared
the following March. Kcpplcr was not
mistaken, and the paper was an assured
success almost from the start. He had al
ways been quick in approaching young
genius, and there was never anything
in the country too good or too expen-
sive for Puck, which has been a father
to the whole younger generation of
cartoonists and fortune to its owners

In the northern parts of India sheep
are made to serve as beasts of burden.
The mountain paths among the foot
hills of the llimalayas are so precipi-
tous that the sheep. more sure-footed
than large beasts, are preferred as bur
den carriers. The load of each sheep is
from sixteen to twenty pounds The
sheep are driven from village to village.

each town the farmer shears as much
wool as he can sell there and loads the
sheep with grain, which he receives in
