Tho Swiss Army.

The Swiss army is complete in every
detail, it is said, the medical, veter.
mary and commissariat departments be-
ing thoroughly organized, and this in
spite Of the fact that the average cost of
q soldier is only 81 q year. The first
line forces number all effective total OF
1877, $40 men; in the landwehr there
are 80, 900 more, and in the landsturm
270, 600. Besides, owing to the encour-
agement given by the state to such in.
situations as the Societies de Tir, nearly
every man in the country knows how to
handle a rifle and is more or less of o
soldier. Switzerland could at the short
est notice put into the field and main.
tain an army Of $50, coo men at least,
properly found and equipped. When the
Swiss soldier crosses tho threshold of
bis house, he may be said to be in full
marching order, for he keeps his entire
ki5, rihe-knapsack and cloak-in his
home, and every man takes an honest
pride in having each article in good
condition.-Pall Mall Gazette.

HOW euNpoWDER is MADE.

The Part That Each OF the Three In-
gradients In the Explosive Plays.
Gunpowder has steadily developed as
mechanical skill constructed better and
better weapons in which to use it, m
until today it has reached a perfection
Of manufacture for various purposes
which allows its effects to be foretold
in any weapon, even to the time it takes
q grain to burn and to the distance it
will drive q shot.
Roger Bacon's gunpowder was made
Of saltpeter, sulphur and charcoal. Salt
peter is chemically called inter and is O
natural product found bedded in the
earth in different parts Of the world,
chiefly i'll India and China. Sulphur.
too, is found in O natural state in many
volcanic countries, like Sicily, while,
as is well known, charcoal is made from
wood or woody substances by heating
them almost to a burning heat in an
alright vessel, thus driving off every
thing in them but carbon.
Saltpeter, sulphur and charcoal are
still the only ingredients Of the gun
powder in common use, although a new
9unpowder made of different materials
is undergoing successful experiment. A
mixture Of saltpeter and charcoal alone
would form an explosive, and sulphur
is added chiefly to make it plastic or
capable Of being pressed into cakes and
shapes. ALI three Ingredients have to be
purified by the most careful chemical
skill before they are combined. Then
an exact proportion Of each has to be
measured ont according to the kind OF
powder to be made.
For the gunpowder generally used You
would find in every 100 pounds, if you
could separate the ingredients, Ii
pounds of saltpeter, Is pounds of char
coal and 10 pounds Of sulphur, but il
would be almost impossible to separate
the ingredients, for they are not merely
mixed together ss you might mix pep
per and salt, but they are ground and
rolled and stirred and pressed together
by special machines until they are al
most sufficiently united to form q sin
gle new substance.
This mixing process Is called tritu
ration, and the powder is thus made
into the form of big fat cakes, calico
press cakes, and then broken up ant
screened into grains Of special sizes, Oh
ground to the fine powder used for shot.
guns and r~evolvers. The large grained
powders are still further stirred together
until the grains become highly glazed,
and these are called cannon powders A
lighted match may be held to grain o.
cannon powder and it will be found al
most impossible to set it on fire, bn'

A DREAM DREAMED OVER.


The music was t%hrobbiDg and pulsing;
Tho flowers, aud the palms, ami the l!ghs
In smooth, waved floors were reflected
That glorious gala night.
With the fragrance Of roses about her,
In her dainty, pure white gown.
She was, as he whispered to her,
"The prettiest girl in town"
She smiled and flushed and denied IT,
AS q pretty girl must Go,
But by her hearts deep ccntapt1nens
She knew that he thought it true,
And they danced to the thrilling music
Oh, life was rapture thenl--
When she was the prettiest girl in town,
And he was the frst OF menl
They parted with aDguiahed sorrow;
Time cleared the cloudcd sky,
But ct last nights ball she lived again
In the charmed days gone by.
His son and her daughter wore dancing,
The girl in a pure white gown,
And she heard him say as they passed her,
"You're the pretticst girl in town.
