be slowly wasting away. His has heen
an adventurersome career. He is a
man of high intellectual attainments,
and has contested every inch of the
ground against great odds for supremacy
of leadership in the councils Of his party
in the State of Texas. He has made a
brave and gallant fight; the banners un-
der which he fought never trailed in the
dust. The race will lose an able advo

BIGGEST GUN EVER MADE,
Mammoth Weapon of Death That VIII
Belong to Uncle Sam.

Mammoth Weapon of Death That VIII
Belong to Uncle Sam.
Such gun is being built at the gov.
eminent arsenal at Watervliet, N. Y, as
this country never saw and the most
Imaginative of warriors half a century
ago would never have dreamed of.
When this weapon of death and de-
struction, the enormous forgings for
which are now being put together, is
finished, three years from now, it win
weigh 100000 pounds, and will hurl a
shell over 20 miles. 1t will be mounted
without doubt at one of the forts, Ham
ilton or Wadsworth, at the entrance to
New York harbor, and woe betide the
hostile ship which shall venture to ap-
proaeh within range of this gigantic
watch dog
Gen. Flagler, chief of ordnance, says
the new gun will be worth in most en-
placements a dozen Pinch weapons.
One shot from it will do more damage
than whole series of projectiles fred
from the smaller guns. The new de-
stroyer is to be 46.67 feet long; the bore
will be 16 inches, the maximum diane
ter of the gun at the breech CO inches,
at the muzzle %. The total capacity of
the bore is 121, 4S7 cubic inches. The
powder chamber will have capacity OF
10000 cubic inches. The charge of pow
der requisite to discharge will weigh
LOGO pounds. If fired from Fort Wads-
worth it would plump 1870 steel pro-
jectile down in the village of Yonkers.
The velocity of the shot as it bids good
by to the big gun would be 1875 feet
second, nearly as swift again as sound.
With this force the shell could be driven
through 80 inches of steel at the guns
muzzle, and 27.5 inches at distance of
$500 feet.
When this mammoth gun is complet-
ed it will be tested on the grounds at
Sandy Hook, and then, if satisfactory,
will be mounted where it will do the
most good in the protection of Ameri-
can goods and chattels against for
eign foe.'
For many years efforts have been
made to secure the construction of
gun on these gigantic plans, but it was
not until year ago that permission was
obtained. 1t is conceded now that the
increased power of modern naval
weapons makes imperative for coast
defense the possession of guns which
will carry further than the greatest pos
sible range of anything which can be
used in the armament of a war vessel.

AVERAGE HEIGHT OF MEN.
Natives of the United States the Tall
est Of All Caucasians

est Of All Caucasians.
During the war measurements were
made of over 100000 men in the United
States army, and it waS found that the
average height Of men born in the
United States was CTS inches. Accord
ing to Topinard, the average height of
Engishmen, Scotchmen and Swedes is
GA inches; Irisbmen, 81; Germans,
CO.,; Frenchmen, 65; Danes, Co.,; Rus
slams, 65.4; Chinese, Ga; Bushmen, CO;
Laplanders, co.,; American Indians,
6S.2; Patagonians, 1903. Taking these
measurements as basis, the average
for the world would be about 65.S. Ma
tives of the United States, it will be OBJ
served, are taller than any other repre-
sentatives of the Caucasian race, and
it is an interesting fact that residence
on this continent, or, at least, the north
ern part of it, tends to develop all the
races in respect to height, weight and
muscular power. Thus in the army
measurements referred to the average
height of foreign born citizens was less
than the average of American-boru, but
greater than the average in their re-
spective countries. The high average of
the Indians is another point i'm proof.
No statistics of the height of women
have ever been tabulated. According
to Gerland, the variation in the height
of females of the various races is very
much less than of men. In the shortest
and weakest races the females are
physically equal to the males, andsome
times surpass them. On the other hand
where the stature of the males is con
sidered above the normal, the female
departs little from it.-St. Louis Globe

CYCLING FOR ASTHMA.
Physicians Who Have studied the Dis
ease Favor Riding on the Wheel.

Physicians VINO Have studied the Dis.
ease Favor Riding on the Wheel.
The value of bicycle riding for thai
portion of humanity suffering will
divers ailments that may be benefited
by exercise is no longer disputed very
largely. An English physician who has
made the study of bicycle riding as il
pertains to asthmatic persons the OBJ
ject of special research has come out
unqualifedly in favor of the use of the
wheel.
Asthma, according to the generally
accepted idea, may be cured, or at least
relieved, by exercising the respiratory
organs. Asthma is known by great
many as shortness of breath. The
slightest exertion out of the ordinary
causes palpitation of the heart and a
choking, half-suffocated feeling. The
face and head become extremely warm
and flushed, and the sensation of ex-
IRENE discomfort has depressing eff
feet upon the system.
Nearly all first beginners on the BIZ
cycle find hill climbing decidedly an
noying. The heart throbs with each
effort of the limbs, and the blood surges
in heat waves over the body. Perspira-
ton is greatly accelerated and hill
climbing is voted nuisance. Constant
practice, however, if theheart be sound,
soon enables cyclists to climb ordinary
hills with a comparative degree of COM
fort.
1t was the resemblance of the symp-
toms of asthma to the trials of the hill
climber that induced the physician who
investigated the subject to experiment
with cycle riding upon asthmatic pa
tients.
He found, first of all, that bicycle
riding, whether by invalids or well per-
sons, increased the depth of breathing
without fatigue. More air was taken
into the lungs to aerate the blood.
Chest expansion increased slightly.
The patient with asthma could not
ride very far at first without wheeling
and coughing. At night he choked ur
about as badly as ever. Little by little,
day after day, this wore off, and, at
length, after a year of moderate riding,
it dawned upon him one day that he was
so much improved that ride of 80
or 40 miles did not fatigue him in the
least. Furthermore, all that disagree
able tightness over the chest at might |
from which he had suffered for years |
was gone.
In another year he could ride so miles
where he had been able to ride 25, and |
without any discomfort. During the
winter he rode indoors.
To-day he is practically well. Amer
lean physicians, who have studied the
subject, are inclined to agree with the
theory of the bicycle cure for asthma.
At least half dozen instances are cited |
in New York of men who seem to be par
TALLY cured by judicious use of the
wheel.-N. Y. Journal.

Keep Their Mouths shut.

The oyster stands as model for hui
manity, in that he can easily be taught
to shit his mouth. There is only one
correct way to accomplish this, how
ever andit is done in, this fashions The
newly-dredged oysters are placed in
water; then occasionally during the
day the water is run off, leaving the
oysters uncovered and otherwise incom.
NODDED During the first time the oys-
tiers are uncovered great number OF
them open their shells, and these prob.
ably feel very uncomfortable until the
water covers them again. After few
lessons of this kind the oysters slowly
learn not to open their shells when they
are expected to keep them closed.-N

DESTROYING LICE.

If you find all other means fail to get
rid of lice, clean the poultry. house and
turn the fowls outside to roost. Lice
will not remain where the hens do not
~congregate, and in a short time it may
be again occupied. The better plan,
however, is to attempt to kill all the
lice. If the poultry-house is tightly
closed Gao cracks, and four or five
pounds of sulphur burned, it will do
the work, and be sure to use plenty OF
sulphur, as it is cheap, and the more
dense the fumes of sulphur the better.
Keep the house closed for two hours
after burning the sulphur.

''taith" in buying eggs, and much de-
ponds On ''confd ence' and from whom
they r purchased. A party who had
a large flock supplied his brother in the
city. Soon the brothers. next door
neighbor requested that he be sup
piled, and soon after several other
neighbors desired a like favor. ALI OF
them we're willing to pay extra for the
eggs, as they had confidence in the one
who sold them. He was compelled to
refuse some of the would be customers,
from lack of supply, which only made
his eggs the more desirable. Now, the
market was amply supplied with
':sfresh" eggs, but that fact did not
alter the circumstances so far as he
was concerned. Cannot the readers
learn a valuable lesson from this ex-
~perience7
There is no feed for hens that is bet
ter than table scraps of every kind.
Pieces of bread, scraps of meat, par
ings Of vegetables, and all such bits as
are usually wasted, if fed to hens will
be returned in the shape of eggs. We
have found from experience that the
scraps from a family of six will fur
nish feed for twelve hens, keeping
them in good condition the year
through. This means that the scraps
from the table Of such a family are
worth $50 dozens of eggs. The twelve
hens were kept in a yard twenty five
