ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The new big 13-inch gun, the
| largest ever made in the United
States, was fired twice March 21, at
the Indian Head (Md.) proving
grounds in the presence of a com
pany of distinguished officials, and
proved to be a success. The rifle
itself weighs IS tons, the brass sad
| die upon which it rests 10 tons, and
the carriage on which it is mounted
25 tons, making a mass of 100 tons.
With 500 pounds of powder it
throws a projectile weighing 1850
pounds.
The largest map in the world is in
course OF preparation by the govern
ment. 1t will represent the United
States, and cover an acre in area.
A physician who is a member of
the Rochester IN. " pathological
society, as we'll as OF a church of
that city, found upon examining
the dregs of a communion cup
enough microbes to communicate
twenty different kinds OF disease.
and upon this showing 1000 small
glass cups have been purchased for
individual use in that church
A recent number of the Salina
(Kan.) Republican was printed on
paper made entirely from the stalks
of the sun flower. The fiber makes
an excellent wrapping paper, being
stronger and more pliable than that
made of straw, and it is less expen-
sive to manufacture. The sun-how-
er grows wild in Kansas and has
long been an annoyance to the far
mers. 1t now seems destined to be-
come IN important source of revenue
to the state.
In England a new coal bod has
been brought out, which is a boon
to those with sensitive nerves. 1t is
an ordinary coal box as used in that
country, with brass mountings and
shovel, and movable inside case to
be taken away and replaced after re-
filling. The feature IS in the silence
with which it can be used. The lid
is lined with linoleum, and falls on
projecting rubbers, obviating all
slamming, and even the shovel is
lined with felt.
Rugs are great savers of carpets.
Have rug before the bureau, before
the fireplace, in front of the sofa and
the writing desk; in fact, wherever
feet are most active, put a rug TO
take the wear and save the carpet.

LITERARY NOTES.

Romance, the monthly magazine
of complete stories. which has won so
enviable a reputation, is brought
within reach of a far larger public
than heretofore by the reduction of
it's price from % to 10 cents. Every
body loves good stories, but they
are VIGOROUSLY hard to find. The
editor of Romance knows how to
find them, and people who have not
bought it because of its high price
can now get for a dime the best
monthly collection of stories ever
offered. Humor, pathos, love, adj
venture, history, mystery, are hap
PLY blended in the dozen tales con-
tanned in the July issue.
The Century for July has several
articles appropriate to this patriotic
season. In The Star Spangled
Banner" John c. Carpenter retells
the history Of the national hymn,
and there is a portrait of Francis
Scott Key and a facsimile of the
poem, now published, it is believed,
for the first time. George Wharton
Edwards, in the ARTISTS Adj
ventures Series,' contributes a
humorous narrative of the difficulties
encountered by him while "Cele-
brating the Fourth in Antwerp" A
timely paper on the new cruisers,
with particular reference to the
Indiana, of which there is a picture,
is contributed by Albert Franklin
Matthews.
Love of country must be the
foundation of national progress, and
to cultivate patriotism the child
must be taught it from the begin
ming. In this number of St. Mich olas
the young American will find valu-
able lessons in history and loyalty.

purposes than raising a laugh, and

has constructed a stirring and
touching story.
The July number Of the North
American Review will be found equal
to any of those which have preceded
it, both in the variety and timeliness
of its contents and in celebrity and
authoritative character of its con-
tributors. The opening article is by
ex-Speaker Reed, who discusses The
Present Administra ton of National
Affairs" in manner which is certain
to attract considerable attention

a Word or Two About Six of Nnpo,
Icons Generals.


Macdonald was one of the most illus
trious of those heroes by whom Napo-
leon was surrounded in his wonderful
career. His passage of the Spaugen from
Switzerland into Italy. was almost as
remarkable as Bonaparte's conquest of
the st. Bernard. After a GOODNESS for
some years between himself and Napo-
leon, a reconciliation took place, and at
the battle OF Wagram, Macdonald
made, under the eye of the emperor,
one Of the most desperate charges ever
recorded in the annals of war Napo-
leon, upon the very battlefield. created
him g, marshal of France. He was
pdtthfu1 to the emperor to the last.
BonapaITte first became acquainted
with JUnot at the seige of ToUlon. Their
friendship continued, and Junot served
in Italy and Egypt with distinction. He
was appointed chief aide-de-camp to
Napoleon in 1906. and at a later date
commandment of Paris. After the peace
of the Tilsit he was sent to Portugal,
where, after brilliant campaign, he
captured Lisbon. On account of a. dar-
ing exploit at a Spanish town of that
name, he was created Duke of
Abrantes. Brave to a fault, and fairly
ddoliZing Napoleon, he was nevertheless
very eccentric. and finally threw him
self from a window in a fit Of insan-
ity.
Ney was often characterized Icy Ma
poleon as the bravest of the brave"
in 1904 Napoleon conferred upon him
the dignity of marshal, and he was ere
ated Duke Of E3chingen and Prince of
Noskowa after those famous battles.
Ills chief fault ON the hattie field was
an impatience due to those very quail
1UieS which made his courage so con-
SpicuouS. He was the last man in the
French army to leave the Russian ter
Eitory on the terrible retreat from Mos
COW, in which bravery and heroism
have made his memory immortal.
Murat was second only to Bonaparte
sn valorous deeds during the Italian
campaign. He acted as a member Of
Bonaparte's personal staff, and was
made bearer of the standards taken in
ghis campaign to the directory. He
served with Bonaparte in Egypt, and
sn the revolution of the 18th Brumaire,
which placed Bonaparte in power, he
took a conspicuous part. AT the ago Of
So he married Caroline Bonaparte, and
some years later became King Of Ma
pies.
Lannes was surnamed for his impetu-
Gus vaaor the Ajax" Of the French
camp. He was with Bonaparte all
through the Italian campaign. At the
bridge of Lodi he was first to reach the
opposite side, Napoleon himself being
second. He accompanied the first con-
sui over the great st. Bernard in 1900,
and at the battle of Montebelio gained
laurels which gave him the title Of
Duke of Montebello.
