Last Wednesday some of our prac-
tical jclers induced a Weary Willie
to buncO one of our merchants into
buying a lot Of plants which he repre-
sented as sweet potatoes. The mer-
chant sized the fellow up and after as
cerS..ining that he was a "ScOtchman
rom GLASGOW" decided to take the
plants and sell them on COMM ssion.
He had sold nearly al of them when
some bystander ilnocently remarked
that "there was a lot of them THINGS
CROWN over by Jim Readers shop"
This led to an investigation which
disclosed the fact that the "sweet pO-
tatoes'' were really sweet violets.
Several of our citizens whose knowl-
edge of horticulture is limited to edit
ing a paper, filing probate junge's
offices, preaching etc. supplied them
selves with plants and took advantage
of Wednesdays fine rain to set them
out. Words are inadequate (polite
words) to express their feeling when
they discovered they had been sold,
and had the coroner not been out OF
town, the perpetrators of the joke
might have been arrested, as from all
we are able to learn he is the only Off
Ger who could make the arrest under
the circumstances.

MISS BOUCHER.

New York, Nov. 25.-It may interest the
admirers of Dickens to know that / once
had personal association with his char
acter of Miss Mowcher, the little dwarf
in David Copperfeld." This was at
school known as Pelham priory, near
New Rochelle, in Westchester county,
New York. Forty years ago it was the
most unique educational institution of its
kind in this country.
1t was the custom on long winter even
iugs to have us gather in the gold and
white drawing room with whatever fancy
work we pleased and hear some one Of
the sisters read aloud a favorite novel,
David Copperfield' had lately delighted
oar souls, and Dickens easily ranked first
in our affections.
One cold winter afternoon Miss Bolton
held us at the dinner table a little longer
than usual to make the following an
nouncement:
ITO those who have lately been inter
ested in David Copperfield," / wish TO
state that his model for Miss Mowcher

government of about 1920 for

the big 13-inch guns which are forty feet
Ions aud weigh sixty tons, the ones on the
OREGON. the Massachusetts and the Indi-
ana. Each projectile for one of these guns
weighs !, 100 pounds and is made of forged
steel hardened at the point by a secret
process, so thai it costs 50 or 60 cents q
pound as against or 10 cents a pound for
common cast iron shells.
That gives more than $500 alone for the
cost of the steel. and to this at least $500
must be added for the cost of brown pow
der used in hurting the projectlle on its
long fight. Not less than $50 pounds of
this powder are needed for each discharge,
and % cents a pound is a low price for it.
Add SEQ for the cost of the bursting charge
in the shell (about 100 pounds of explosive),
then make allowance for various costly
trines, fuses, decorators. etc. put in some
thing for cost of manufacture, and you
will see that $1,000 a shot is fair esti-
mate.
Each one of these 1S-inch projectiIes is
about four feet high, and for all the big
grth and weight, the point is as SHARP
as a well-cut lead pencil. Back of this
point in the cavity within, where the
bursting charge nestles, is a STEEL tube
called nose fuse" and in this tube rests
metal bah fixed in sulphur or some
fragile stuff. When the projectile strikes
this metal bah is torn from its bed by the
percussion and thrown back upon a deto-
mating cap at the other end of the tube
When this cap explodes, the bursting
charge also explodes and the deadly work
of the shell is done. There is also an ar
rangement known as a base fuse" by
which the projectiies may be exploded ir

with harDoons and lances, was allowed
to go.
The whale had evidently lost it's bearings
and was swimming slowly along the edge

trouble In reaching II. Finally one shot
ahead and the harpooner threw his iron
deep into the black disappearing mass.
