wheeled wenpon OF war.

Military journals are at present in
terested in a new self-moving car which
is to be veritable carriage of death.
1t is to be driven by 16-horse power
engine at the rate of 40 miles an hour
over country reasonably level and,
of course, free from fences; it has
four broad-tire wheels. But the eli
max and purpose of this remarkable
machine is to carry two rapid-firing
cannon, arranged on pivots to sweep
the entire horizon. One man only is
needed to run this terrible wheeled
weapon of war, and this same man also
attends to the firing, loading. etc.

,IinernIs That Arc Dangerous.

Lead is dangerous to all who use it
in their work, as house painters, gilders,
calico printers, type founders, potters
and braziers. Mercury is also a foe
to life. The makers of mirrors, barom-
cters, those who etch or color wool or
felt, soon feel the effect of nitrate of
mercury in teeth, gums and tissues of
the body. Silver often kills those who
handle it, and photographers, makers
of hair dye, inks and other preparations
turn gray and are often oyerpowered
by deadly weakness. Copper some
times makes those who work with it
lose teeth, eyesight and sometimes life.
Wall paper manufacturers grow i'll
from arsenic. The engravers who use
nitric acid sometimes find their lungs
poisoned by its fumes. Ammonia kills
soap-makers. Zinc is fatal to calico
printers and makers of meerschaum
pipes.

financial CONSCIENTIOUS, the scnooIs
cannot be maintained where there are
only few taxpayers scattered over a
considerable area.
1t must not be understood that Col
orado children have to secure their
learning in the open air and under the
blue skies of heaven, for in every coun-
ty in the state there is at least one pub
lie schoolhouse, but such buildings as
they are might brighten the wits out
of the ordinary schoolmarm of the
more thickly populated east In many
portions of the state money has been
lavishly expended for modern school
buildings, but in some of the outlying
districts the schools in which the
pioneers had their children taught to
read and write still hold the fort 1t
is expected that in few years all this
will have been changed, and that the
peculiar dugouts and stockade build
ings will have been superseded by
school buildings with every modern
convenience.
A few years ago, with the exception
of the large cities or towns, where peo-
pie were more heavily taxed, the
school buildings consisted mostly of
either dugouts or log huts. Many of
the log houses are still scattered over
the state, and there is still standing the
first one erected within the borders of
what is now the state. This one is in
Montezuma county, and in the light of
modern arrangements is looked upon
as veritable relic. 1t consists of a log
house with four windows and one
door, the windows now having panes of
glass, something they did not have
when the house was first erected. But
the most curious feature of the old
timer is the stocloade which runs en-
tirely around the building. 1t is made
of logs with their ends stuck in the
ground, and here and there holes have
been cut through the solid logs, leav-
ing place where the school-teacher
and pupils could poke the muzzles of
their guns and shoot down the Indians,
who were then practically in possession
of the territory. The stockade served
long and well as protection against
the savages.-St. Louis Republic.

PILES ARE EASILY CURED.

piles. 1t is the active principle Of the

This ointment cures nothing but
piles, but it cures blind, bleeding pro-

we got on the outskirts of big city.
/ saw graveyard on the border and
as it was getting dark, said I'd stop
there to sleep. The other fellows were
afraid, and they went into the city,
where they were pinched. slept in
the graveyard and wasn't pinched.
Next time 1 met one of that gang he
called me Graveyard, and I've trundled
that name around ever since.
"Now, you want to know why 1 sleep
in graveyards? Well, don't mind tell
ing you. There are two reasons One
of them is: In my tramping expert
ences have found out that there is but
one place that is not frequented at night
by pedestrians and coppers-that is a
graveyard. None of us likes to get
pinched, so I thought I'd pick out
graveyards when there were any
around.
''Now, the other reason is this. When
I was young and lived down south me
and my parents lived in cabin in the
lee of negro cemetery. There was a
big family of us and some of my broth
ers used to stay up all night and get
drunk. I was quiet man myself, and
I didn't like their performances. When
I tried to read or study, as did once in
awhile at night, there would be so
much noise couldn't do it. Then when
WANTED to sleep couldn't. One night
1 wandered over into the graveyard,
and it was quiet there and I slept well.
I got in the habit of sleeping there every
night Ever since that have slept in
such places when / could find them.
Why, there is no place in the world like
graveyards for sleeping"

A so-called tramp, whose nickname

Buffalo, N. Y, the other day. He had
done more or less tralnping during the

that Bill makes practice of sleeping

Jail upon a charge OF lunacy.
Dinch is a married man and has a
family of eight children. He is charg-

family. and to kill his neighbor and to
destroy their property. 1t is alleged
that he has been of unsound mind for
over year and his family and neigh
bors have both been very much afraid
thar he would carry his threats into
effect as he has been very violent at
times. Loss of property and financial
difficulties are said 10 have preyed up

He was brought TO the city yesterday
without any trouble and made no OBJ
iections to being arrested. II was De-
