Bath, April 17.-Charles Sylvester, who

10-year-old son, had close call from be-

morning. A fire had started during tie

some waste paper Thursday. The only
persons in the house during the night
were Mr.. Sylvester and his Oldest son,
Mrs. Sylvester having been called to
southport Thursday BY the illness of a
relative, and taking er youngest son
with her. Mr.. Sylvester was awakened
by his son, but was SO overcome by in
hation of smoke as to require great
effort on his part to save himself and the
child. He managed to raise window
and, taking the boy in his arms, plunged
through fire and smoke down the stair
way aud out doors, where he gave an
alarm. The neighbors rushed to the
scene of..the blaze, which had not made

HOW HARD A GUN KICKS,
Results of Tests Under Different Condi-
tions Carried on in England.

The London Field prints the results o
tests with 12-gauge gun weighing five
pounds thirteen ounces and having 49,
| inch barrels. One ounce of shot (27C
pellets) and thirty eight grains of No. 4
black powder made up the charge used
for both barrels.
At forty yards the right barrel put an
average of 1913 shot into a 3O-inch circle,
the number varying from 95 to 40. The
average velocity of the shot was /, 1853 feet
second over the first ten yards, yaria-
tion from l, 1879 to 1,172 being noted.
The left barrel averaged nine feet more
a second, and put eight shot less into the
circle.
Both barrels registered the same gas
pressure, 1.38 tons to the square inch, but
the kick, or reooil. was 40 of a pound
greater from the left barrel, which also
gave the greatest speed. The recoil from
the right was ~. 8 foot pounds.
Thirty grains of powder behind
1856 pellets or fiye-eighths of an ounce of
shot put 10 OF them into 30-inch circle
at forty yards, showing velocity of /, 1872
feet second, and reooil of 22.5 foot
pounds. A gas pressure of 1923 tons was
developed.

gun is a twelve gauge, while an Ameri-

shot-barrels. The 20-gauge gun is con-
sidered the best all-round small bore gun
by most Englishmen.

appetite, could not sleep, could not
walk alone. Puritana made him over
new from head to foot. 1t gave him
sleep, appetite, and strength.
After trying many doctors, hospi-
tails, and medicines in vain, Mrs. J. s.
DAILY, of Cambridge, Mass, had also
abandoned hope, when Puritana was
brought to her relief. It gave her
strength and health, pure, rich blood,
vigorous digestion, and raised her
from the sick bed to the full vigor
of happy womanhood.
Yes, one drop of Puritana will
bring more real relief, more real cure,
more real strength, more real nerve
force, more real power and vital
energy, more real " life-is-worth-
living" than a dipperful, a buoketful,
barrelful of so-called tonics, blood
cures, nerve foods, pills, and doubtful
preparations from unknown sources.
that is the reason why Puritana is
the most economical medicine as
well as the most effective in the
world.

Gigantic Geranfums.

(From The San Francisco Examiner.
Down in Los Angeles everything grows
to q remarkable size, even the stories
about the profits from town-lot invest

else, and big pumpkins. 30o-pound water

not to excite any particular remark.
One thing especially in that land of
booms and development beats the world,
end that Is the geranium. It's cousin,
the pelargoniun, assumes mammoth pro-
portions and, if permitted, might become
as disastrous pest as the Canada thistl
and Pomona the people use geraniums
for hedges. and they grow so luxuriantly
that theyshave been known to stop disas-

The plant represented is the Fish gerani-

since the picture was taken, and promises
to keep on like Jacks famous beanstalk.
Near Mr. Galpin's house is the residence
of the electrician of tho street railway

makes the heart right, lungs right,
