beautiful three-mile windward race
before four hitherto unbeaten model
yachts was sailed on Sunday afterno on
from the foot of Powell street.
The course was a tnree-mile straight
beat to windward in the direction of An

the America, mere pigmy, compared
to her three rivals. She made the three
mile beat to windward in % minutes, and
the clever handling of the America by
Captain F. P. Gilbert, in the heavy sea
that was on, was very creditable.
The America is very shallow and a
very light boat, her entire weight being
scarcely more than the weight of the lead

won every race she ever entered. She was

manner entirely unknown, says the Lon
don Spectator, to N. De Foy, who was
the real originator of marriage by in
termediary. There are, of course,
offices where preliminary fees are asked
and where wife seekers and ladies
yearning for lords are quietly swindled
after having been told TO go to the
opera, the salon or the fashionable
church of Sainte-Clotilde. The strange
part of the matrimonial agency scheme
Is that You never know. when in society

Couvin, IN Belgium; the coal, which is
specially suited for the work, from the
Herve highlands, in Belgium, while
the motive power of the factories is
obtained from the River Vesdre. The
industry has increased greatly in re-
cent years. These armes de luxe, as
they are called, are made by men work
ing in pairs, each pair in its own little
factory, quite independent of all others.
They are paid by the piece, the wages
being good, and about 1000 men are
engaged on the work in the valley.
Medium quality barrels are made OF
coke iron and steel, while the superior
quality, which are produced in the
Vesdre valley, are made OF charcoal
iron and steel. An ingenious mar
rage" Of these metals gives compost
ton which, when manufactured, guar
antees the required solidity and resist
ance.
The improvement in these damascus
barrels dates from the introduction OF
percussion caps in the place of the old
flint lock. Formerly iron barrels alone
were produced; now, to manufacture
the curled damascus, the ingot is CON-
posed of 80 sheets of iron and steel,
each having thickness of four mili-
meters, which ire enveloped in sheet
iron box, placed in an oven, and welded
together at the lowest possible temper
allure. Each barrel receives $50 weld
ing beats while being forged, and il
q single one of these is unsuccessful
the barrel may be failure. either by
alteration of the damascened work or
an imperfection in the welding.
There is no official test OF these armes
de luxe, but they are thoroughly tested
by the manufacturers before delivery.
The annual production of damascus
barrels in the Vesdre valley is about
100000 pairs, of a value of about $780,
600 francs. Of this the wages alone
for all the guns are hand made-amouDt
to about 100000 francs. The princi-
Pal markets are Great Britain and the
United States. About half the barrels
made in the Vesdre valley are sold to
manufacturers of arms in Liege to be
mounted.-N. Y. Times.

LITTLE POPLAR'S" SKULL.

Gruesome Relic of Indian Warfare How
In the National Museum.
A CHASTITY relic of Indian warfare was
recently sent to one of the professors
Mt the national museum in Washington,
says the New York World. 1t is the
skull of Little Poplar" the great
fighter and warrior, at one time the
sub-chief of the Cree nation. The Crees
had their homes and lands in Canada,
and when the Riel rebellion broke out
some years ago Little Poplar" took ad-
vantage of the opportunity it afforded
to make war on his own account.
He attacked the white settlers, burned
their homes, carried off their women
and instituted reign of terror in the
region of his operations. Hundreds OF
persons became the victims of his blood
thirsty cruelty. He destroyed their
herds, laid their homes in smoking
ruins and put women and little children
to the torture. There was, in fact, no
form of deviltry too horrible for this
Indian to perpetrate.
When the Riel rebellion was crushed
Little Poplar" crossed to the American
side. So great was the horror he had
excited that reward Of 50 900 was Of
,fered for his apprehension, dead or
alive. In 1886 he was murdered near
Fort Assiniboine, Mont, and the half
breed who killed him received the re-
ward. One of the soldiers of the fort
watched for years the lonely grave in
which Little Poplar" had been buried.
and at last, when he felt certain that all
the flesh had been worn off the bones,
he dug up the skull and kept it as
relic. 1t has just found a resting place
on one of the shelves of the national
