s@- If you will only try for just one
day to make everybody in the home

p@ A man who can hold his tongue

always talk like Christian.

a9 The Gatling gun is now worked
by an electric motor in the United
States navy. The motor is attached

operate the gun at will, so as to fire
either single shot, or at the rate of
1900 minute.

minor coins for the past few years has
been about $650,000.
