women's Feet Getting Larger.

If hosiers know what they about the
feet of American women are larger
than they once were. Three dozen
pairs of women's hose used to be as
sorted as to size In this fashion: Six
pairs No. s. six No. 81, twelve No. Q.
six No. 91z, six No. 10. The No SIS
have now disappeared from among
women's sizes and the number of the
larger sizes in three dozen pairs Of hos,
is increased.

FOR COAST DEFENSE
Carriage Which Permits Guns to
Vanish Instantly.
Tho Invention Of Col. A. X. Bufnugton
and Capt. William Crozier-Uncls
Sam Beats tho Whole World
Once More.

Among the defenses employed for a
nation coast against an enemy's war
ships are heavy cannon. These hos
tile feet would naturally try to dis
mount by few well-directeds shots; and
If, as has been customary heretofore,
the guns on shore were visible over the
earthworks in which they were mount
ed, they would afford an inviting tar
get. Injury or death to the gunner is
another peril that must attend the first
one. Hence the great value of car
yiage which will permit the piece to
disappear instantly after firing, and
will bring it up into place when ready
for another shot. The idea of mount
Ing ordnance in this way is said to have
originated in this country, although
Englsnd led the world for a tinSe in its
development. A number of such gun
carriages, however, have been invented
and tried on this side Of the Atlantic;
and one which is the joint product of
Col. A. r. Buffington's and Capt. VIII
liam Crozier's skill showed, during the
tests at Sandy Hook last December, q
decided superiority over anything else
yet produced.
In this mechanism, when the gun is
in firing position, the trunnions rest
in sockets in the upper ends of pair
OF massive upright levers, hung SO as
to swing, and sustaining from their
lower ends an immense counterpoise.
This is lifted and sustained by a pawl
and ratchet, when, after discharge,
the piece recoils and sinks. In the re-
cent tests at Uncle Sans proving
ground an eight-inch breech-loader
was tried, and mass of metal weigh
ing about $1,000 pounds was suspended
from the levers. This really more than
counterbalanced the gun; for when it
was desirable to bring the latter up for
another shot, the weight was released
and did the work. At the breech is a
light framework, also pivoted, whose
function is to keep the gun pointed in

but we must confess that thepardon
OF DIR. j. l.. Maier, th. Wien drug
gist and dispenser OF spirits fer
menti. and the doctors de
parture for home a week age
last Sunday, Is an item we are some
what subsequent In giving.
It will be remembered that at. the
last October term OF circuit court
DIR. Maier was convicted on three Oh
four different indictments for selling
whiskey without legal authority,
and was fiued $40 and costs in each
case. The total amount of his fines
and costs for illicitly dispensing the
juice that cheers was S190, and
which amount he failed to pay.
Some six or seven weeks ago the
doctor was arrested by Deputy Sher-
III j. X. Dempsey and was brought
to Keytesville and was lodged in the
county jail where he commenced to
play the same game he did. last
spring when landed behind the bars
for a similar offense, and proceeded
to starve himself to death by refus-
ing to either eat or drink.
After being released from jail last
spring on condition that he leave
the county. the doctor returned to
Wien and opened up business at the
old stand, continuing his traffic in
intoxicants.
At the next October term OF the
circuit court he once more found
himself in the tolls of law, and when
lodged in Jail he at once proceeded
to rob justice OF it's dues by playing
the same game he did last spring.
BE. finally, after some % or 26 days
OF abstinence from food, became SO
weak ard amaciated that he had to
speak twice before one could discov-
er his voice, and his clothes fit him
like a circus tent would fit a McKin.
ley Republican.
Considerable sympathy was felt
for the old doctor. and executive
was finslly invoked in his
behalf resulting in his pardon by
Gov. Stone.

The Grand River Bridge.

The question OF building q bridge
across Grand river, at Brunswick, ID
one that has come to stay.
The citizens of Brunswick and
vicinity are more in earnest about
the matter than ever before. aud as
they propose to raise at least one
fourth OF the amount required to
build the bridge. shows they are will
ling to go down IN their pockets to
accomplish their purpose.
There is no township in Charlton
county anything like the size OF
Brunswick township but what has
had "A great deal more of the coun
ty's money expended for bridges
than has Brunswick township, and
we think il is nothing more than
just that that township should have
her dues in the way Of the proposed
Grand river bridge, and especially
since the citizens OF that township
intend to raise n large amount to-
ward paying for the bridge.
True. Brunswick would be the prin-
cipal beneficiary so far "a commerce
is CONCERNED. but whatever helps
Brunswick helps Charlton county.
and che should be given the consider
alton at the hands of the county
court that n county's second largest
metropolis has q right to expect.

Our Tale Of Woe.


After the CouRIER's fight on Mr.
u. s. Hall In 1892, we expressed our
fears. as Mr. Hall was nominated
and eIccted to congress, that We
would not be in 1.-THE push sJor the
next two years. at least, in that
gentieman's distribution of garden
seeds. The thought of doing with
out garden seeds and the loss oI
sleep it caussd US is the only regret
We haze ever had for opposing ~
Hall in his scongr~ssaonai aspirations
We were assured. however, by Dr..
NJ. j. Rucker, OF Keytesville, who
was one oiHall's staunch supporters.
that we were laboring under a mis-
apprehe lsion. and that the new con-
gresham from this district would
supply Us more literally with the
germs for garden "sass" than we
had ever been supplied before, but
the doctor proved TO be a false
prophzt, and thereby hangs our tale
of wee.
