81 Terrible Gun.

Maxim the gunmaker, and DR.
Schupphaus, the gunpowder expert
have invented new cannon and tor,
pedo powder which will knock all
modern war vessels to pieces like egg.
shells. This big gun will throw a
huge cannon ball full of explosives
ten miles, and when it strikes it will
smash nto kindling wood everything
within hundreds of feet.
In fact. this new terror doesn't even
have to hit warship to do this. If
the shot lands in the water near by
it will sink the ship and stun every
body on board from the force of the
explosion.
The discovery is called 1.-THE Maxim,
Scbupphaus system of throwing
aerial torpedoes from guns by means
OF special powder which starts the
proiectile with low pressure and in
creases its velocity by keeping the
prcssures we'll up throughout the
whole length OF the gun" Patents
on the system have been taken out
in the United States and European
countries.
The special powder employed is al.
most pure gun-cotton, compounded
with such small per cent. of nitro
glycerine as to possess none OF the
disadvantages of nitroglycerine pow

can history which have been ordered in
such sharp and instructive contrast from
beginning to ending as the lives Of these
two men. One of them sprang from ono
of, the proudest and most aristocratic az
we'll as ablest and most powerful OF the
ruling families Of Kentucky; the other
was Of on origin so humble and obscure
that 1t could hardly be traced. One was
born at the open gate Of fortune, influ-
ence and opportunity the other was
born in the lap Of squalid want. Both
set out in life under the influence Of q
controlling ambition. One thirsted for
glory and power and fame; the other to
be emancipated from poverty and neg
lect.
The career of Breckenridge lay along
an even pathway lighted up from the
outset with the encouraging smiles of
influential friends and overhung with
tempting prizes, which he gathered thick
and fast at every step, while Wilson be-
gan the ascent of steep and rugged
mountain path alone and toiled upward
without help, beset by discouragements,
confronted all the way with difficulties
and chcered by no light ahead or reward

primn Donna and Clergyman.

In the Life of Karl Won Gerok." a
man distinguished as poet aud as a
minister of the Gospel, an incident is
given which illustrates not only his
kindly spirit but his quick wit:
He was one day walking in Stuff
CART, carrying an umbrella. At the
same time the prima donna of the
Stuttgart opera troupe was tripping
along the sidewalk, without that
protection against the weather.
Suddenly rain began to fall, and
Herr Won Gerok offered the lady the
shelter of his umbrella. Though en-
tire strangers to each other, they had
a pleasant chat. After awhile the
reverend gentleman remarked:
"May I venture to ask your name?'
1T is plain to see that you never
go to the OPERA" answered the lady;
Everybody knows that l am the
leading singer at the Court theater.
Now it is my turn to ask TO whom l
am indebted for the protection of an
umbrella
Your question clearly proves that
you never 80 to church, was the re-
ply, 'for all religious people know

The Editor Was 81 ut Off In His DsAire
10 Explain Things.

A story was recently told of how q
preacher tested the effect of the hard
times upon his congregation. At the
conclusion of one of his sermons he
said:
"Let all in the house who pay their
debts stand up"
Instantly every man, woman and
child, with one exception, arose to
their feet. He seated the crowd and
then said:
Let every man who is not paying
his debts stand up.n
The exception noted, a careworn,
hungry individual, clothed in his last
summer suit, slowly assumed per-
pendicular position and leaned upon
the back of the seat in front of him.
How is it, my FRIEND" inquired
the minister, that you are the only
man in this large congregation who
is unable to meet his obligations?"

FIRST watch Ever ssede.

About4hree hundred and seventy
five years. ago the first watch was
made, and it is still in running order.
Clocks we're made long before
watches. The year 900 after Christ be-
ing about the time when clocks with
wheel works, the power being given
by hanging weights, were first made.
But tlies9 tiInepieces were stationary.
Later. enssmaller clocks were made,
but it. wss not until the beginning OF
the sixteenth century that an in.
genio1s goldsmith of Nuremberg
constructed a portable watch made
entirely of iron.
A private collection recently
brought to New York from Berlin con-
tains the first watch that was ever
made, and one that is still in work
ing order-an iron watch Of Peter
Henlein, now universally accepted
as the inventor of the pocket watch,
who was locksmith OF Nuremberg,
and was born in 1880. The present
watch was made certainly not later
than 1920. The works are entirely Of
iron. The back of the case and the
cover, which are of bronze, and the
dial, are beautifully ornamented with
arabesques of ingenious design, cut
into the surface and delicately
chased. The dial is divided into
twelve hours, but has no minute
marks on the spaces. Above the
figure 10 there is small thorn, and
above each of the other figures a
small knob, for convenience of feeling
the time at night. The early watches
had but one hand, the hour hand and
the handspring, of hardened iron,
had no casing, but was merely con-
fined by four pillars supporting the
back plate.

HOOPS Have Arrived.

Two young ladies attracted attention
at the Waldorf today, not because they
were over pretty or chic, but merely
on account of their walk They strutted
about with an ungraceful movement Of
their faring skirts suggestive of a
lameness which was alike in both AS
this could hardly be possible the in
quisitive ones who noticed them sought
an explanation from friendly femi-
nine. And what do you think was the
matter? Why, hoopskirts! THAT walk
is caused by the wearing of hoops"
smilingly explained the lady, land
hoops will soon be proper form too.
When the modistes tried to force hoops
on us a few years ago, we were not
quite prepared for them. Now, with the
faring skirts, sloping shoulders and big
sleeves, the old fashioned hoops COM
plete the picture, and we will take
kindly to them" The steel trade will
like this announcement better than that
portion of humanity which hates to sec
fashion disfgure the fair ones of this or
any other land.-New York Letter in

One off3he most notable characters
in Western North Carolina, some
years age, was an old physician, as
we'll knoWasfor his shrewd philosophy
as for. hissskill in healing.
"My character he said once to a
friend WAS to degree formed by a
single incident in my childhood. Our
home. was @Iog hut in the suburbs Of
the town in which we lived. The
door andsSwo windows opened into
the squaifd street, pigsty and a va
cant lot iato which the refuse OF the
town was thrown. But through q
small window, hardly more than O.
chink, at.the back of the house, we
had a glimpse of the mountain tops,
about which the clouds hung and
shifted perpetually.
my mother had habit of closing
the door and side windows, and open
ing thisl little 'chinkf whenever we
childrensw tired, or cross, or dis
couraged:E She knew, but we did not,
that thafghmpse of wonderful peace
and beaafY would probably quiet and
help us.

old MANS "If there is but one hope

squalid enough sometimes, but there

The QIsker, Lucretia Mott, who
gave herself to the relief Of suffering
and misery, resolved early in life that
her hom8.should always be kept hap
py. Thefe, even in extreme old age,
she was not only cheerful, but gay
and merry. She was more tender
and helpful to Gods needy creatures
because there was one spot on earth
in whichlshe simply rejoiced in His
goodness

we choose to look for it.
