Piquet as a Preliminary to Prayer.

experiences of criminals condemned to
death at La 'Roquette prison, where he
was for many years chaplain. His meth

The Cost of Firing the Thirteen Inch Gun.

The cost of each pound of projectile
is Is cents, which makes each one fired
represent $207. The powder costs 3S
cents pound, or S1S1. 90 for tie charge.
Bags in which it is incased, fuses, etc.,
bring the cost Of each shot up to $500.
The expense Of each shot makes it ex-
ceedingly desirable that each one hits
the target it Is sent at.
There are other remarkable features
about this leviathan besides the projec-
tile Powder such as no one ever
dreamed of 10 years ago is used. 1t is
technically known as brown prismatic
and takes the latter term from the pecu-
liar shape Of the grain. Each grain is
probably az inches high and in with
and is prismatio In form, with a small
hole through the center. Eleven of these
grains make one pound. Each grain
would make several rounds for an ordi-
nary fowling piece. The extent Of the
charge necessitates it's being placed in
four parts, each part also prismatic.
These parts are forced in the gun, and
when in place hug one another closely.

A WOUNDED AMAZON.

Standing apart in dumb, deep agony.
With none Of all her warning sisters near,
With none TO help her or console her hero,
She pays the price of those who would be free.
Hast thou, who in thy proud virginity,
A maid TO cope with heroes didat not fear,
Fcund that such glory might be bought too
dear
When one, who should have shielded, wounded
thee7
Yet, gazing,on thee where thou standest now,
lie whom no amnzonian arms could queil
Before thine unarmed woinanhood would bow.
Until your lifted eyes should re-engage
The strife Of which our latest stories tell
That he and thou forevermore must wage.
