Salvation Army Tea.

IMPORTANT: There are very few
things more hurtful than common
tea. An eminent English doctor
once said: "If the public gave up
drinking common tea, the occupa-
ton of one half of our profession
would be gone" Good tea, how
ever, is refreshing and stimulat-
ing, and in introducing this arti-
Gle to the public, the officers of the
Salvation Army have taken great
pains to secure tea, which can
with the greatest confidence be re.
commended as being of the very
highest standard of excellence,
and have decided to sell it at a
price within the reach of every
body, and although it will leave
us very small margin of profit
indeed, we are satisfied, knowing
that what we sell is sure to give
satisfaction. Sold in lib packets.

MAKING WOODEN CANNON

vICEABLE GUN.

Hundrc shots.

The Cubans are obliged to use
all sorts of things for weapons.
Rifles, cartridges and powder are
brought to them from the United
States in little ships which sail
from Florida. Sometimes large
vessels are fitted out in New York,
which, if they escape the Spanish
war ships, bring large quantities
of arms and ammunition to the
Cubans. But the revolutionists
are in great need of cannon, aud,
as they cannot get the real kind,
they make some out of trees. In
the interior of Cuba grows a tree
which has a winding grain, that
is, the fbers of the wood go round
instead of extending lengthwise.
The wood of this tree is very
tough and it is almost impossible
to split it by ordinary means.
When the Cubans want cannon
they cut down one of these pecu-
liar trees, saw off a five.f foot length,
about one foot thick, and remove
the bark. Then they burn out the
bore with red hot crowbars or
pieces of iron pipe, and this burn
ing increases the toughness of the
wood.
While some of the soldiers are
burning out the bore, others cut
green oxhide into q long strip by
commencing at the center and cut
ting in spirals toward the outer
edge, just as al apple is peeled.
One end of the rawhide strip,
which is about three inches wide,
is spiked 70 the breech of the
wooden cannon and lever is at
tached to the other end.
Two or three stout negroes
grasp the arms of the lever and
slowly turn the wooden gun. The
band of green hide is kept under
a strain, and in this way the can
non is wrapped in one of the
toughest materials in the world.
The first layer of hide is wound
to the muzzle of the gun and then
back to the breech, and so on,
back and forth, until a number of
layers of rawhide are wound on.
The gun, with its rawhide wrap
ping, is placed in a draught of
'drv, hot air and allowed to harden.
When this process is complete the
CuDans have cannon which canbe
fred 100 times before it is useless.
The wooden cannon shoots scrap
iron, round stones and fire hard
ened clay balls.-Chicago- Record.
