"Old Sam Doward and his men.

Cartridge Made of Mica

The uses Of mica are manifold. One
of it's latest developments is distinctly
1el. An ingenious Australian has
invented and introduced a mica cart
ridge for sporting and military guns.
The filling inside the cartridge is visi-
BILE, and a further advantage is that
instead of the usual Wad of felt mica
Wad is used. This substance. being a
non-conductor, unaffected by acids or
FUMES, acts as a lubricant. Where
smokeless powders. such as cordite or
other nitro-glycerine compounds. are
used, mica has distinct ADVANTAGE
over every material used in cartridge
manufacture. Being transparent anv
chemical change in the explosive can
be at once detected. The peculiar
property it has of withstanding intense
heat is here utilized, the breech and
barrel being kept constantly COOL.
The fouling Of the rifle is also avoid.

Snow Cut Her Awayv

"NOv Cut Her Away"
The next instant came a fash and
stunning report.
"Murder!'
''1'm shot!'
Such cries rang from the startled
boom cutters who could only glare
about in helpless terror.
''Shcot! shoot! Don't let a man es
cape!' yelled the voice from the hill
side.
Then followed another report, and
pellets ratified like hailstones about
the men on the logs and. boom. :
The second shot proved a signal
for grand scramble for life on the
part of the drunken millmen. A
splash in the water and gurgle of hor-
ror announced that at least one of the
! raiders had fallen into the water be-
low the boom.
Harry Gaines heard the splash and
saw the raiders flee from the scene of
their intended depreciation in dismay.
The lad ran down to the low bank
below the boom and was Just III time
to save Old Sam from drowning.
Putting and strangling, Sam Dow

The next instant the door was clos

The boys were obdurate. The re-

on the watch till morning. but no Sec

the story Of his defense Of the boom.

Whilst on visit to a friends house
a short time ago my attention was at
tracted to very pretty ornament,
which my friend said he had made
himself. 1t simply consists Of taking
a glass or goblet and placing In the in
terror little common salt and water.
In day or two a slight mist will be
seen upon the glass, which will grad
ually increase, until in a very short
time the glass will present a very
beautiful appearance, being enlarged
twice its thickness and covered with
beautiful salt crystals, packed one
upon another. a dish should be plac-
ed beneath the glass, as the crystals
will run over. The color of the crys-

salt and water a little red ink or a

How to Use Veil.
See Frenchwoman come into res
taurant. No matter how tight her
corsage is she raises first one hand
and then the other, and by a few deft
touches her veil is off.
When she wants it on again, she
gets it back in place in the same magi-
cal way. On the contrary, an Amerl-
can or an English woman, under the
circumstances, has to drop all interest
In the conversation in order to wrestle
with her veil, and perhaps even has
to have assistance before she accom-
plishes her purpose.
TO wear veil rightly Is an art, but
no degree Of art con render one Of
these bordered atrocities becoming,
and women will continue to buy them
because they are something new.
How do you like that?" asked a
woman as young girl entered the
car wearing a black notified looking
veil with her sailor hat.
"A great mistake" decided a Judge
of wells, after one glance. THAT kind
of veil makes a woman's face look
clustered. or else it has the appearance
OF being worn to hide pimples or
hlotches.
"A girl as young as that ought not
to wear a veil at all, or if she likes
the feeling Of privacy which veil
glves-&nd I always feel a kind Of
protection when I have my veil on
let her select some soft, plain mesh,
not net all fourished over like that"
