rests nj InOhan ffea0.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Tests were made
at Indian Head to-day Of the sixteenth
group of Carnegie armor designed for the
Brooklyn and Iowa eight-inch breech-load-
. ing rifle barbettes. Three shots were fired
at a four-inch plate, curved to a radius OF
nine feet six inches and of $500 pounds
weight. The plate had been condemned by
the Carnegie company on account of sur
face cracks. but it was desired to test the
effect of these cracks on its resisting quail
tiles. Thirty-three-pound Carpenter shells
were used. The impact OF the first, at a We
locity of 1.491 feet, was on a sound part of
the plate, The shell broke, part rebound
ing, but the head penetrated the plate six
inches. The second shot, with a velocity of
1855 feet. struck on a cluster OF cracks,
one-half to three-quarter OF an inch deep;
to The third shot struck a prac-
tically sound spot at a velocity OF 1,676 feet,
These tests sustain a theory of armor ex-
perts that plates with cracks may be more
effectively harveyized and hardened, and
IL is thought that this discovery is verified
beyond doubt. and may be utilized in flu
ture armor making.

A Strange Freak.

Mr.. ]. e. Catlidge, of Newton,
Miss, contributes the following re-
mar kable article to the Mississippi
Baptist
Our youngest daughter (Mamie)
and her mother, frequently of even
ings sang spiritual songs together,
with seeming joyfulness. Ten years
ago our daughter, at the age Of
twenty-one years, succumbed to the
grim monster, death, alter having
lived with answering devotion to
the spirit of truth and g0dliness.
Shortly after her death, my wife
was sitting alone one evening dur
ing a shower of rain, when she heard
voice singing in the upper part of
the room. Being desirous to know
whence it itproceeded. che went out
into the portico to listen it then
seemed to be in the top of the yard
trees-a female voice.
As marvellous as it may seem to
skeptical minds, that singing, al
short intervals, with varied tunes,
new and old, by different voices,
male and female, in concert and a.
lone, has been continued day and
night up to the present time.
Our venerable pastor, N. l..
Clarke, asked "How is il ?" The
above is as explicit as my kn0wl-
edge of the case justifies. / am con-
strained by the force OF the eviden-
ces given to believe that it is no hal
lucinatiolf but a stern reality. Yes,
spiritual vocal minstrelsy that
chant songs to comfort her IN her
Affections. She is now nearing the
close of the 68th year OF her longev-
ity and is unable to stand alone, OF
TO help herself yet she enjoys the
sweet melody OF her marvellous SER
enaders; but feels lonely and un-
happy when they take a respite.
They sing mostly In the early and
latter parts Of the night only oc-
casiona.Iy in the day. Often she
joins in the singing when familiar
tunes are being sung. She has
learned some new tunes she neveI
heard before.

Needless Coughing.

In all bronchial affections the par
oxysms of the cough should be
placed, as far as possible, under
control OF the will.
The old idea that disagreeable
sensations in the throat indicate the
presence there Of something which
ought TO come up" has been entire
ly displaced by the more rational
view that prolonged efforts 10 expel
that "something" are often pro-
duclive of more mischief than would
result from its being allowed 10 re-
main.
There is attendant upon every
disease of the bronchial tubes a
greater or less amount oil mucus,
which exudes from the membran-
ous lining of the tube. II is certain
that in a great majority of instances,
where the general health of the pa
tient is not attacked, this exudation
is re-absorbed through the fine net
work Of blood vessels into the blood +,
where it is taken care of, and COM
plete recovery is effected.
On the other hand, let US suppose
that, on the the theory that every
particle Of the exudalion should be
expelled, as being of a poisonous
nature, we strain every muscle OF
expiration and, in fact, the whole
system. What follows ?
We may have accomplished our
immediate object, ,butif we could see
the point at which our efforts had
been directed we should discover
that they had not been productive
oi the results anticipated. Instead
of the inflammation being allayec. /.
we should find that an effect has
been produced similar to that which
follows scratching an itching soie.
The irritation has for the moment
been relieved. but it is only ques-
tion OF time when il will return with
removed energy.
The habit of endeavoring 10 expel
more of the exudation than will
come away with gentle and infre-
quent coughing is an exhausting
and idle one.-Youth's Companion.

Low Price Of Horned Stock.

We are told the price of horned
stock was never lower in this local.
ily than at this time, and it can be
bought at almost a song from those
owning il. The other day the mar
shall sold at public outcry COW and
yearling heifer calf for the ridicu-
lously small price of $2.85, and then
not many bidders wanting them at
thai price. These facts lead to the
thought that it might be a profitable
business for some persons with
means to invest in lots of cattle and
feed the same for the market. The
price will not always be low, for as
soon as times get better those own
ing horned stock, especially COWS,
will be 10th to part with them ex-

who will engage in it and conduct
it in the proper manner.-Naichez
