A DISCOVERY.

She stood before the cheval glass,
And tucked two roses in her bodice,
A rare and fair and radiant lass,
A wingless Love, modern Goddess;
The pride of race was in her face,
A queenly grace in every movement,
A very angel gOwned in lace,
From heaven sent for earths improvement.
A glorious light leaped in her eyes
AS thus she poised before the mirror,
A look OF sudden glad surprise.
That brought the skies Of Adienn nearer;
She smiled-she spoke roses heard,
And blushed in manner most alarming:
Gee whiskers. amt just bird?

What u Cannon nan Can Do

In dwelling upon the wonderful power OF
the guns of tho Indiana, Albert Franklin
Matthews, In an article on ''rhe Evolution of
Battleship,n in The Century for July, gives
Illustrations from tho recent Chilan civil war
showing the effectiveness OF the smaller sizes
OF brccch-loadlng rifle guns.
A shot weighing $50 pounds from an s-inch
gun of Fort VHdlyla in Valparaiso harbor
struck tho cruiser Blanco Encalada above
the armor belt, passed through the thin steel
plate on tho side, went through the captains
cabin, took the pillow from under his head
dropped his head on the mattress with a
thump. but without injuring u hair, passed
through the open door Into the mess room,
where 1t struck the floor, and then glanced to
tho ceiling. Then it went through wooden
bulkhead ono inch thick into room 25xi2
feet where forty men were sleeping In ham
mocks. II killed six of them outright and
wounded six others, three of whom died.
after which 1t passed through q steel bulk
head Eve inches thick, and ended Its course
by striking battery outside, In which II
made dent nearly two inches deep. It war
nlled with sand. Had 1t released deadly
gases no one knows what damage It might
have done.
A 450- 0-pound missile from 10-Inch gun In
the same fort struck the same vessel on Its s.
inch armor. 1t hit square on q bolt. The
shell did not pierce the armor, hut burst out
aide the vessel. 1t drove the bolt clear
through, and in Its flight the bolt struck an
b-inch gun, completely disabling 1t. Such is
the power Of the smallcr-slzed guns.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO

the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas

beneficial properties of perfect lax

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.

Globe Democrat man.

the vicinity use the largest portion
of American cotton the opening of
the canal was an affair of consider
able interest to the cotton states.
The canal Is wider than the Suez
canal and when dredged out will
have depth OF twenty-six feet,
nevertheless it will never be navi-
gable, with its present dimensions,
for large trading steamers.
"Ihe Suez canal has neither cur
rent. nor wind to disturb it, hence
steamers can safely navigate it
which could not safely traverse the
| English canal because with their
length and size. they would have to
acquire speed, to give them steer
age way, incompatible with safe
navigation. The fact seems to have
been overlooked alike By the en-
gineers and the enthusiastic pro-
moters OF the enterprise. 1t is true
that small steamers -'tramps,' they
are called can make their trip all
right. Such boats are the Ohio and
the Nenango, which latter boat re-

Tor the Indian or Pacific trade, and
besides the insurance rates on them
are SO much higher that it would
equalize the difference in freight
rates By reshipping at Liverpool.
Another trouble is that steamers can
not procure cargo ballast at Man
chester, and have to procure it al
Liverpool, often with delay of sew
eral days. One line has attempted
to overcome the difficulty by putting
into service steambarges to convey
Manchester freight alongside the
steamer, which remains in the Mer
sey at Liverpool. but this is moi
much cheaper than tho old system o.

The Oldest Timber in the World.

Probably tho oldest timber in the
world which has boon subjected to
the uso of man is found in the an
cient temples of Egypt, in connec-
tion with the stonework which is
known to be at least four thousand
years old. This. the only wood used
in the construction OF the temples,
is in the form of ties, holding the
end OF one stone to another When
two blocks were laid in place, an ex-
cavation about an inch deep was
made in each block, into which tic
shaped like an hour-glass was
driven. 1t is therefore very difficult
to force any stone from its position.

HIS LOST RING. sSY;
Magician Hermann Receivers 1t In .
Strange Manner.

1t is not generally known that
Hermann. the magician. Is mes-
merist as well, and that he has
made hypnotism a life study. 1t
has often stood him in good stead,
too. During his last engagement in
Brazil. several years ago he was
presented by Dom Pedro with q mag
niticent solitaire diamond ring.
While doing his famous gold fish
trick one night In tho midst of the
audience this ring slipped from his
wet finger and rolled out OF sight
under tho seats. A thorough search
was instituted and large rewards Of
fered for the missing gem, but with
out avail. Finally tho thought
struck Hermann that he would try
his mesmeric powers, put subject
to sleep and try to locate the lost
jewel in that manner. Accordingly
he advertised for clairyoyant and
found one in the person of beauti-
full Spanish lady. With few passes
of his hands he put her to sleep and
then proceeded to question her in
Spanish. Tho lady put her hand to
her forehead in a bewildered manner
and aztec short pause said:
"The diamond was stolen by q
man who had charge of horses"
That was absolutely all the in
form alton Hermann could get from
her, but the clcw was sufficient. He
thought of brigandish looking
Spaniard from whom he had often
hired horses. and whom he recol-
lected was in the auditorium the
night he lost the ring, He went
straight to the stable, and, looking
the man straight in the eye, said;
You stole my ring. Produce itn'
Tho fellow turned as white as q
sheet, but protested his innocence.
The next day, while at break last,
Hermann was handed u package
which he found contained the miss
ing ring. He does not pretend tc
explain how the clairvoyant knew O.
its whereabouts or who had it, bu'
it was a wonderful case OF mind
