The Part That Each OF the Three In

Gunpowdey has steadily developed as
mechanical skill. constructed better and
better, weapons,i in which to use 1t. un-

of manufacture Efor various purposes
which ,allowsl its effects to be foretold
in any weapon, even to the time 1t takes
grain ito burn and to the distance it
willldrive shot.
Roger, Bacon's gunpowder was made
of saltpeter, sulphur. and charcoal. Salt
peter is. chemically called inter and is a
natural product found ,bedded in the
earth ain different parts Of the world,
chiefly in India and China Sulphur,
too,tis found in natural state in many
volcanic Scountries, like Sicily, while,
as is we'll known, charcoal Is made from
wood or woody substances by heating
them almost to q burning heat i'll an
alright vessel, thus driving off every
thing in them but carbon.
Saltpeter, sulphur and charcoal are
still tho only ingredients of the gun
powder in common use, although new
gunpowder made of different materials
Is undergoing successful experiment. A
mixture of saltpeter and charcoal alone
would form an explosive, and sulphur
isl added chiefly to mako it plastic OF
capable of being pressed into cakes and
shapes. All three ingredients have to be
purified by the most careful chemical
skill before they are combined. Then
an exact proportion Of each has to be
measured out according to the kind OF
powder to be made.
For the gunpowder generally used you
would find in every 100 pounds, if you
could separate tho. ingredients, rs
pounds Of, saltpeter,, 10 pounds of char
coal land 10 pounds Of sulphur, but it
would DO almost impossible to separate
the Ingredients. for they are not merely
mixed together as you might mix pep.
per and salt, but they are ground and
rolled and stirred and pressed together
by special machines until they are al
most sufficiently united to form q sim
gle new substance.
This mixing process is called tritu-
ration, and tho powder is thus made
into the form Of big fiat cakes, called
press cakes, and then broken up and
screened into grains Of special sizes, or
ground to the fine powder used for shot
guns and revolvers. Tho large grained
powders are still further stirred together
until tho grains become highly glazed,
and these are called cannon powders. A
lighted match may BIO held to grain Of
cannon powder and it will be found al
most impossible to set it on fire, but
once ignited it flashes off very suddenly
and violently. -Lieutenan John M
Ellicott in St. Nicholas

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way TO cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infiamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when il is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored TO its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by catarrb, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition OF the mucous sur
faces.

Healthy. happy children make better
men and women Of us all. A little care
and little planning before birth is often
more important than anything that can he
done after. On the mothers health and
strength depend the life and the future Of
the children. A weak and sickly woman
cannot bear strong and healthy children.
Most of the weakness of women is utterly
inexcusable. Proper care and proper
medicine will cure almost any disorder of
the feminine organism. DIR. Perce's Fa-
vorite Prescription has been tested in thir-
ty years of practice. 1t is healing, sooth
ing, strengthening. 1t is perfectly natur.
al in its operation and effect. By its nse,

sickness is caused by indigestive poisons.

The nlshop and the Anarchist.

We recollect reading how Kearney, the
San Francisco anarchist, when he pro-
posed to upset the government some years
ago, called upon the Roman Catholic
bishop of that city TO give his advice.
The bishop listened patiently and at the
close quietly said, al have lived good
many years In San francisco, Mr.. Kear-
ney, and think know somewhat OF our
citizens. | recollect looking out of my
window one morning some years ago,
MIR. Kearney. and seeing several men
hanging from lamp posts. will bid you
good morning, Mr.. Kearney."
The above leads us TO say that the
true friend of the anarchist, who has
come to this country in total ignorance OF
our institutions, is he who warns him OF
his danger.
We have the strongest government in
the world. Ii is so strong that we permit
oceans OF insane and reasonable talk
which, under weaker governments, would
send the talLef to prison or Siberia /;
but let serious danger threaten our Gov.
eminent and six words from the Presi-
dent would call million OF men,
necessary, into the field, who would
show az little rcy to the bomb throw
ing dynamiteT as the farmer does to the
wolves that destroy his sheep. Tho true
friend Of the anarchists is the one that
cnlightens his ignorance, and convince
that this is the only country in the world
where intelligent, temperate, industrious
men of good character are sure OF COM
Portable living, and where the son Of the
poorest has a fair chance TO obtain the
highest offices OF the nation. 1t is the
only country in the world where nearly
all the rich men, and nearly all the pro-
minent, began poor, and by working hard
not eight hours but frequently twice
that number-have reached their positi-
ons GEO. r. ANGEL, in sour Dumb

Convention and made him Presidential
nominee. according to Secretary Morton,
was delivered one week ago in his debate
with John p. Irish, of California, before

the same speech, even to the rhetorical
figure OF the cruciiixion of labor on cross

Many of the silver Democrats at Chicago
would no doubt treat with scorn the Grill
cism that they are trying TO put one OF
the features OF Popnlistic paternalism into
practice. Yet the Farmers Alliance made
free silver part OF its creed, and, in addi-
ton, we believe, favored the idea that the
Government should receive cotton and
wheat on storage and advance dep0sitors
money on the goods. This huge pawn
shop scheme was little wilder than the
free silver plan but the same idea is back
of both in the minds OF the agricalturalists
of the aouthern and Western States. tits
the old general proposition to make the
Government bear the burdens OF special
classes; and taking unlimited silver bul'
lion on storage in the Treasury vaults, or
coming it into silver dollars, or issuing
silver certificates for it, would benefit the
silver miners just as much as the farmers
would be benefited by pawning their
crops at Government warehouses. -
EaStOn Express.
The Express is right-free coinage
is the very quintessence OF protection to
special classes. Ii the pocket States OF
TIC NOILuWSbt hiu hpt Jioih hbNte
would be no silver craze. 1t is more than
passing strange that Democrats, who have
a holy horror of protecting woollen oil
silk manufacturer through our tariff laws,
are in favor OF giving the owners oil silver
mines higher protection than manufac
turer ever received. Silver is worth 52
cents an ounce in bullion before ii goes u
the mint, but If free coinage prevail, the
government coins it for nothing and the
owner is paid at the rate of a dollar an
ounce. There is no discount on this kind
of protection If it can be excelled in the
matter OF protecting special classes We
should like to know how. -Doytestoa01
