TUE PLATE A SUCCESS.
The Oregon's Armor Resists
the Most Powerful Guns.

Washington, d. c., May g.
There was battle royal at the
Indiauhead Proving Ground to-
day between the biggest guns
of the navy and an 1S-inch
4arveyized steel plate made by
the Carnegie Works, with
wholly unprecedented results.
After firing twice at the great
piece of steel with a 13-inch
rifle. without making any prac-
teal impression on it, the great
Peacemaker, as the 13inch
gun is called, discharged its
half ton projectile point blank
at the armor, and, though driven
bodily back into the sand bank
supporting it, the plate surviv-
ed the shock. Great interest
has been manifested in to-day's
test, as it was practically a
competition Of the hitherto
suspected Carnegie products
and the uniformly success
full Bethlehem manufacture.
The Bethlehem Company furn-
iShed the 1S-inch plate that
passed the ordeal two weeks
ago, and to-day the Carnegie
armor was tested with exactly
the same grade Of shells, made
in France for testing purposes,
and all the condition we've made
uniform. To days plate was
finished to size, and cost about
$4,000. 1t weighed 79,3oC
pounds, was 16 feet 81 inches
long, Z feet 8 1916 inches wide
and was Of tapering thickness
being IS inches thick at the tor
and s at the bottom.
This plate is said to indicate
that the endless fight between
gun and armor, which ha;
hitherto been IN favor of the
igun, is now about a tie, and
that with the reforging process;
the armor may soon be invul
nerable to any existing weap
ion.

The local jealousy between town
and town is smusingly illustrated
by the following anecdote: A worthy
burger of Perth and q Newburg man
had got into rather acrimonious
dispute ovur their teddy anent the
merits of their respective towns.
The Perth man Wanted the virtues
of the beautiful Tay and the noble
expanse of the city links. The New
burg man insisted that their water
was purer and clearer, and tho breezy
heights about their town put the
links of Perth completely in tho
shade. The Perth man renewed the
attack by speaking of their busy
streets and the volume Of their trade.
AS Newburg happened to be a ia
vored changing stage for numerous
intersecting lines of mail coaches tho
Newburg nam was able to score q
point by insisting that MAR stage
coaches gaed through Newburg in a
day than cam tae Perth in week. "
This put the champion of the Fair
City on his mettle, and swelling out
his chest with conscious dignity he
rather pompously delivered what he
considered clincher.
"Ah, said he, but oor provost
gangs ABBOTT wi chainl"
Dis her" dryly responded the
other. "Ah, weel, we lat oors gang
ABBOTT lowse."
It was the third time the Rev.
James Don had mounted the pulpit
The scene was in Mr.. Paton's church
in the pretty village of Fettercairn.
When the young preacher, after Civ
ing out the psalm, had taken his first
rapid survey of the congregation, he
noticed two finely dressed gentlemen
in a secluded pew, dressed in super
fine broadcloth suits and adorned
with white clerical neckties. One
was venerable looking old gentle
man, with silvery hair; the other
young, with a rather aristOcratic and
refined look. 1t then being the height
of the tourist season, Mr.. Don put
the two gentlemen down at once as
some travelling English rector and
his curate, and he felt very nervous
in the presence of what he took tc
be such critics. In the evening thC
same couple occupied the same seat,
and the minister underwent another
ordeal of inward anxiety When he
came to disrobe, however, in the
vestry, he asked the beadle who the
two distinguished clerics might be.
! "Och, there wis me meenister j

THE QUEEN ANNE COMB.

The very broad Queen Anne
comb has come back to favor.
There is no more dignilied or
nament for the hair than a broad
tortoise shell comb, either plain
or handsomely carved. Middle
aged women who have preserv-
ed their hair look most stately
in combs of this kind, and they
make an admirable support for
the smart little arrangements
of lace and. ribbon termed
caps" Young girls look very
quaint with their shining tress-
es dressed around the wide,
demure Queen Ami comb that
bears little resemblance to the
lowering, irregularly shaped
comb of tortoise shell or its
imitation, which for so long it
has been the fashion to thrust
through the coils or braids of
hair at any angle however
erratic. The new comb admits
of no such frivolity. 1t stands
erect and dignifed, with no
nonsense about it.. To the pi-
quaint face it affords a pretty
contrast by its rather austere
appearance. To the grand
dame it gives an added look of
dignity and Importance

she has annexed 140, 900 square miles
and 8. 500, 600 inhabitants-a barren
conquest, which in ten years from
