A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrcfuious Humoss How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
1t to our boy and we noted An improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

Uncle Sans Gun Factory.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
The Washington gun foundry is one OF
the landmarks Of the National capital,
Inasmuch as il is there that all the high
powered guns and their mounts for the
equipment of our modern ships Of war
are manufactured, it is a place ofspecial
interest to visitors in these days Of wars
and rumOrsof war. Originally established
as a navy yard for the construction and
repair Of war ships, it was long since
abandoned as such, and is now devoted
almost exclusively to the manufacture Of
guns and ordnance materials. The entire
gun plant and sppurtenances have cost
about $2,000,000, and are believed to be
fully equal to the demand OF the times
in supplying the new navy with guns
equal in power and efficiency to those
supplied to the leading navies Of foreign
powers.
The gunshop is filed with the most
powerful and approved machinery for

Human Parcels Delivered.

A Birmingham, England, man, having
with him his 3-year-old son, found him
self unable, on account Of pressure OF
business, to take the boy home. The
new postoflice regulations occurred to
him and he took the lad to the parcel
department at the chief postofiice, and
rendered him as a parcel. The child was
accepted for delivery by messenger at a
fee of three pence per mile. The messen
ger took him by tramcar, three miles, TO
his home, and obtained receipt from
his mother for his safe delivery.
A stranger being In town, not knowing
the whereabouts Of particular street or
manufacLory, may go to postoflice and
ask to be delivered at his destination, A

and the charge is three pence per mile.

Notes About Fireworks.

The Chinese invented fireworks, and
they had great skill in pyrotechny long
before the art was heard OF in Europe.
1t is said that to this day hepyroteohnic
exhibitions in the Flowery Land are
vastly superior to ours.
Attempts have been madein this coun-
try to manufacture small frecrackers by
machinery, but without success. The
machines do not roll the little squibs
just right, somehow. On the other hand,
large quantities of the big cannon crack
ers are turned out in the United States,
the headquarters Of this business being
at Weymouth, Mass.
In China the business Of making fire.
crackers is conducted chiefly in factories
where the workers sit on stools at long
benches. Rapidity of production is
greatly increased by the system adopted,
which distributes the labor. Each
cracker passes through about sixty hands
in the process of manufacture. One
person makes the fuses, another cuts
them into proper lengths; yet another
rolls the crackers, his next neighbor
stops them with clay, and SO on. The
toy explosive starts at one end Of bench
in the shape Of few raw materials and
comes out at the other end finished
cracker. This accounts for the fact that
tirecrackers are as much alike as 80 many
peas in pod.
All the work is done by hand. Paper
used is Of the cheapest kind, and the
first process consists in wrapping piece
of it about a small round stick several
times. A touch Of glue is required to
tasten the end, and then the little paper
tube is pulled off Of the stick. One end
of the tube is filed with clay and into
the other end 10 put small quantity Of
gunpowder. A fuse Is inserted and this
end likewise is stopped with clay. The
crackers thus produced are conveyed 70

A Giant Adirondack Spruce.

From the American Cultivator.
Senator ChRhoon of Clinton County has
sent to the State Fisheries, Game and
Forest Commission at the Capitol the
stump Of the biggest spruce tree ever
found in northern New York, and prob
ably in the spruce belt, including Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont and Canada,
Mr.. Fox, Superintendent Of Forests, has
been on the lookout for ten years for the
tree which should represent the maxi.
mum size Of the spruce species, and this
stump will be kept as filling the bill.
The stump was taken from a spot in the
forest near the Adirondack Lodge, a
hotel In the town Of North Elba, Essex
County, six miles south Of Lake Placid,
The tree, which was l2l feet inches in
height, was cut for pulp wood by the j,
& j. Rogers Company, Of which Senator
Chahoon is an officer. The average
height Of big spruce trees is only 80 feet
in the woods, not more than three in
thousand being found to be over 100 feet
tall. The length of the shaft was SO
feet, and the height OF the stump is Al
inches. The circumference Of the topof
the stump is 10 feet 1O4 inches The
longest diameter is Al inches, the short
est 36 inches, and the longest radius "a
inches. The rings on the stump indicate
that the tree was OF rapid growth, and
that it was probably $50 years old.

land and founded the empire at Novgo-
rod.
The name Germany is Of uncertain
origin. By some it is supposed to be
derived from Dschermania, the name Of
a region in central Asia. The Germani,
a tribe whose name means followers Of
Buddha," lived in Persia in the days Of
Herodotus. Switzerland gets its name
from Schweiz, the name Of three cantons
that first asserted their independence Of
Austria. Spain, Latin Hispania, comes
from the Phoenician spahan, a rabbit,
the country in early times abounding in
these animals. Portugal is derived by
some from Portus Gale, the ancient
name of Oporto; others find in the word
portus Gallae, the gateway Of Gaul.
Italy comes either from Italus, an early
tribal chief of the country, or from the
Greek italos, a young bullock. The
Greeks called their country Hellss, and
themselves Hellenes, but the Romans
ramed the land from the Graecii, tribe
of Epirus.
Turkey means tributary people; Persia,
the land Of Brightness; Arabia, the dis
trict of the desert man; Hindustan, fixed
dwelling place; Siam, dark land, from
the color Of the soil, and Ceylon, lions.
Japan is a corruption of Zipangu, the
name Of the country as given by Marco
Polo, the Venetian traveller, who visited
it in the thirteenth century.
The derivation Of Egypt is unknown.
Morocco is the territory OF the Moors,
and Barbary that Of the Berbers. "rhe
Desert OF Sahara" is needless repetition,
for Sahara means desert. Gibraltar is
"the mountain OF Tariff" who, with a
Saracen army, built castle on the rock
in the eighth century. In South Africa,
Transvaal is the country beyond the Vaal
River, and Natal owes its name to the
fact that it was discovered on Christmas,
the dies natalis Of Christ.

as the smaller rapid-dre guns, which
form such an important part Of the
secondary batteries Of the cruiser gun
boats, and, in fact, all vessels Of war.
The largest lathe in the shop, commonly
called the sixteen lathe" was built for
turning out gun l6 inches in diameter
Of barrel, 4s feet Z inches long and
weighing ll0 TONS. This size has been
found too large for practical use, how
ever, and the largest guns made for the
navy are but l3-inch caliber.
The lathe which is used for boring the
interior of these guns is about lis feet
long and cost nearly 100000; smaller
lathes are used in the case Of the smaller
guns. Travelling over these lathes, forty
feet from the ground, is an immense
crane, capable Of raising and carrying
from one lathe to another q dead weight
of l25 tons. In the center Of this build
ing is the shrinking pit, in which are
located furnaces FOR heating the jackets
and hoops for use in shrinking the gun
tubes. These furnaces are heated to be-
tween GOO and 700 degrees, the heating
power being naphtha oil, with an cir
blast.
A separate building is devoted TO the
manufacture Of gun mounts and car
riages, and is provided with thelatest
and most approved machinery, as is also
the proiectile shop near by, in which
shells are made and finished.
There are many historic relics in the
museum and other buildings at the yard
which the watchman in charge will show
with an ill.concealed display Of pride and
patriotism. The two old.fashioned can.
non mounted on either side Of the avenue
near the entrance we're captured from
the Tripolitans by Capt. Stephen Decatur
in 1904.
Near the east door Of the gunshop is
the original "Long Tom," used with
such success by Capt. Samuel @. Reid on
the brig General Armstrong in his never
to-be-forgotten engagement with the
British feet at Fayal September 26,
1914. This gun was presented to the
United States by the Portuguese govern
ment few years ago, and formed part
of the naval exhibit at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition. In the rear OF
the Commandant's Office is a gun park,
where are displayed trophies captured
during the war Of the Revolution, the
war of 1912, the Mexican war and war Of
the Rebellion.

Names Of Countries and Their Meaning.

Names of Countries and Their Meaning.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Everybody knows the origin OF the
name America, but not so many are
aware that Europe means broadface in
Greek; that Asia is the land Of the dawn,
and that Africa comes from Phoenician
word meaning black man, and is
literally "the land of the blacks" The
Latin word australis, southern, gives
name to Australi6. The anoients knew
only the lands around the Mediterranean,
and for this reason considered that sea
''in the middle of the world" The
Adriatic is named from the city Of Adria,
the black town, which was so called be-
cause it was built up on the black soil
brought down by the River Po.
The origin Of the name Canada is un-
known. Mexico comes from nexitl, the
Aztec war god, Honduras means deep
water; Costa Rics, rich coast, and
Nicaragua, sweet water Venezuela,
meaning little Venice, was so named be-
cause some Of it's people built their
houses over the water, as the Venetlans
did. When the Spaniards asked the
Indians of a part Of Central America the
name uf their country, they answered,
"Junca tanP" ("WhRt do you say?"O and
the country was called YuCatan in con-
sequence Brazil was so named because
the wood of a certain tree of that country
was thought to resemble in color the

equator; Argentine, silver; Chill, the
land Of snow; Patagonia, the land Of big
feet, and Paraguay, the river OF waters.
Only men from bleak northern lstitudes
could have named Greenland and LBbra.
dor, the last meaning land that might be
cultivated.
Britain is a word Of uncertain origin.
The name may have come from the
Celtic britli, painted, applied to the in
habitants, because they painted their
bodies; or from the Phoenician barantic,
the land of tin, because the Phoenicians
visited Cornwall for tin. England is
Angle-land, the Angles being one Of the
Teutonic tribes that overran the island.
Scotland is the land of Scots, or "wan-
derers" Ireland may derive its name
from Ir, a Spanish chief, who invaded
the country early in the Christian era.
The German Franks, who settled
among the Celtic tribes of Gaul, gave
their name to France, themselves deriv-
ing it from franca, kind of spear with
which they were armed Belgium takes
it's name from the Belgae, who pos
sessed one of the three parts of "All
Gaul' in Caesars time. The Suevi,
another tribe mentioned by Caesar, gave
their name to Sweden. Holland means
marsh ground, and nearly the same
meaning is preserved in the present
name of the country-Netherlands, the
underlands, or lowlands. Denmark is

Danes.
