MEN AND MONEY.
Some Very Striking Points Made by the
RAMS Horn.

Some Very Striking Points Made by the
Rams Horn.
Doing good will pay better in the end
than digging gold.
When the heart says give, the gift
will never be too small.
The man whose heart is set on things
perishable loses all when they perish.
What bright world this would be il
people were as ready to give gold as
good.
The man is travelling in the wrong di-
rection who thinks money can make him
happy.
Be cheerful giver and God will fur
nish the capital for you to carry on the
business.
Whenever the Lord finds a man who
can be trusted with money he makes
him rich.
The devil never thinks it worth while
to answer back when singy man talks
in church.
Money that has the blood of the poor
upon it cannot be of any real benefit
to the rich.
What foolishness to live to pile up
dollars, if the devil is to be the only
gamer by il.

! "Ye can do nothing against the truth

But there are other adoptions, nearer

which was angry and turbulent and de-

ESklMOS THROWING STICKS.
Used to Discharge Arrows and Spears In
the Hunt.

In the first place, Throwing stick"
Throwing board" or "spear thrower,"
as it is sometimes called, is a contriv-
ance for casting javelin or harpoon.
which is employed by various savage
races. such as the Australians, some
South American tribes, and especially
by the Eskimos, among whom its use
is almost universal. Roughly speak
ing, 1t is a narrow grooved board a ZOO
or so long, with one end cut into n
handle and the other provided with a
stud or spur for the butt of the spear
to rest against. 1t is used thus:
Grasping the handle as he would a
sword, the man fits the shaft of the
spear into the groove, with the butt
resting against the stud, steadying the
spear with the finger. Then, extending
his arm and bending back his hand till
the spear lies horizontal, he aims at the
mark and propels the weapon by n
quick forward jerk of the stick. In this
way have seen the Eskimo boys cast
ing their forked javelins at wounded
waterfowl.
There is very large number of Es-
kimo throwing sticks in the National
museum at Washington, collected from
all the different branches of the race.
These have been carefully studied cy
Prof. Otis r. Mason, one of the curators
Of the museum, and he has found thai
these implements differ greatly from
each other in their details, while all are
made on the same general plan. For
instance, one kind will have a plain
handle, while another will have project
ing pegs, or holes or sockets, to give
firmer hold fer the fingers, and so on.

MANUFACTURE OF GUNPOWDER.
One Feature of the Dangerous Proceed
ing.

One Feature of the Dangerous Proceed
ing.
In the center of the mill is big iron
saucer, probably six feet in diameter.
The rim of the saucer is about 10 inches
wheels. They seem to be about six feet
in diameter also, and their rims about
a foot broad. These wheels and this
saucer do the rolling of the powder
that is, they grind the three substances
that compose the powder into new
mixture. The wheels are swept around
and around in the saucer, and they also
turn on their own axes. 1t is as if they
were kept rolling over and over, just
as the wheels of a carriage roll, but also
as if some power kept them turning
about constantly in the small circle of
this saucer. This mill is where wooden
machinery cannot be used, and of course
that makes it n very dangerous place.
The mixture of the ingredients of the
powder is brought in and dumped care
fully in the saucer. 1t is spread about
smoothly by workman, who, after
this work is done, goes outside the mill,
and does not come back until the pow
der is rolled thoroughly. The workman
goes to wheel few feet away from the
building and turns it very slowly. 1t
starts the machinery that moves the
wheels In the saucer. The greatest dan
ger in rolling comes at this time. The
rolling must be begun in the slowest
possible way. The danger is that there
may be lump in the mixture in the
saucer that will raise one of the wheels
as it turns around and then drop it sud-
