The Tin Soldier.

In the days of peace, of peace now fled,
On the hardened pave of a city street,
Ringing clear, came the measured tread
And the rhythmic swing of the marching
feet.
Swinging along in their brave array. :.
While the cynic smiled his smile OF gall
They're babies out for holiday,
They're only tin soldiers; that is an

beats, .
While thu, bugle sounds for the call to
death,
And men surge thick in the citys streets,
While their cheeks burn hot with the war
god breath,
For the blood mounts high in the fevered
veins
At the call to arms for righteous blow;
Though the field shows red where the war
god reigns.
Yet the same tin soldier is first to go.
In the sullen roar of the cannonade,
Mid bursting bombs and the shrek OF
shell,
AS gallant a charge as ever was made
Through the fame lit pit of a iaring hell;
Moved as the forest before the fire,
The bulldog merged In his master, man,
On with courage that cannot tire
The alleged tin soldier Is in the van.
The ghostly beams of the moon shine down
On CHASTITY heap of the mangled slain
But it lights face that's strong and brown,
And a shattered form that held soul and

Veterans at Weirs.

The annual reunion of the New Hamp-
shire Veterans at Wers is always rem
iiniscent though happy gathering, for it
is season given over to enjoyment and
there is never dull or tagging moment.
The Weirs itself is an ideal camping
place, and the veterans, by untiring ei-
forts have builded for themselves quite an
extensive colony. Here they gather and
in various social ways enjoy themselves
as only veterans can.
This years convention will be held

Can You But Wonder at its Popularity

Thousands stand by Alton Bay as the
place of all places where unstinted enjoy
ment may be found, and this ought sure
ly to be true, for it would be difficult to
find a location more beautiful, more
healthful or more interesting.
Lake Winnipesaukee leads as an out
ing region, and it is on the shores of this
highly attractive inland sea that Alton
Bay is located, and it is here that for
years past that camp meetings are held.
The Grove is an enchanting place, and
at the present time the meetings are be.
ing conducted under the most favorable
circumstances. Of course much time is
devoted to the meetings, but delightful
bit of recreation is the sail over the lake
on the big steamer "Mt. Washington"
1t takes nearly five hours to make the
round trip, and during the whole time
there is never ceasing pictorial aspect.
During the month ofAugust the Boston
q Maine Railroad will sell round trip
tickets to Alton Bay at greatly reduced
rates. Inquire of ticket agents regard.

The Spanish steam tug Humberto Rod
riguez, with prize crew on board from
the United States cruiser Badger, and
commanded by Lieut.. Peters, arrived in
New York last week from the blockading
squadron off Havana, sailing August 4.
The Humberto Rodriguez is powerful

the foremost flew the American ensign
and on the main gaff the Spanish colors,
the first Spanish colors to be seen in New
York since the declaration of war. The
Humberto Rodriguez is manned by a

Perforated Gunpowder.

The logical combustion of gunpowder
fin a gun should be slow at the begin
ming, and as the shot goes faster
through the bore of the gun the pow
der should burn more and more rapidly.
This end is attained in a powder, one
of whose inventors is Hudson Maxim,
brother of the inventor of the rapid
fire gun. A composition is used which
burns from the outside of the grain and
does not explode en- masse It Is made
in cylinders with perforations. AS It
burns, the holes become larger, so that
the surface is constantly increasing in
proportion to the mass or weight of
the grain. When the charge is ignited,
the gas is liberated with comparative
slowness; as the Jumps of powder be-
come smaller the gas comes off more
rapidly, SO as to follow up the projectile
in it's passage through the gun. The
result is that for equal velocity of the
ball a much lower pressure is produced
within the gun.

Scarcity of Tin,


That the gold fields OF the world are
much more extensive than the tin fields
is a fact which might strike the un-
scientific person with curious feeling
OF surprise. The tin fields which are
known to exist cover an area 7of less
than $4,000 square miles, while the gold
fields are something over 1900, 900
square miles. Therefore there are 1872
square miles of ,gold-bearing regions
for every single mile of ground where
tin is known to exist. The Importance
Of the tin industry is scarcely appre-
ciated by those who have never made
the subject study. North America
has no tin mines, South America but
one, Asia has two, Peru and Bolivia
contribute 1000 tons a year, and Aus
'tralia mines about 5000 tons year.
While We are all practically familiar
with what is called tinware, very few
of us appreciate the fact that pure tin
plays a very small part in the manufac-
ture of these articles. The quality of
tinware has, within the past few years,
deteriorated with amazing rapidity, all
of which is attributed to the limited
supply and great value of tin.

No Buyers for Gold Coin.

There is an old story to the effect
that in order to win a wager a man
once stood on London bridge for an
nour with tray full of sovereigns in
front OF him, and offered the coins for
sale to passersby at halfpenny each.
Nobody would purchase, and the wager
was won. An antique and curio dealer
IN Seymour place, Marylebone road, ex-
hlblted in his window on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday last, as the result
of wager 20 English sovereigns mixed
with other coins, the collection being
surmounted with ticket bearing the
words: "These coins los Cd each. For
few days only" Although mixed
with other coins, the sovereigns were
the most conspicuous. Strange to say
there were no purchasers. One timid
individual went into the shop and
nervously inquired if the coins were
good He was told by the shop
keeper that the coins were: there to be
sold at the price marked, but no other
information could be given. He left
without purchasing: Yesterday morn
Ing the news got around Marylebone
that sovereigns were to be had for 15s
I'D. But it. was too late. The trader
had won the wager and Withdrawal his
collection-of sovereigns, at any rate
from the window of his shop.-Pall

STONE WITH "A HISTORY.
It Marks the Beginning Of the First Railroad
IN the United States, the
Baltimore and Ohio.

After being lost for fifty long years
or more the celebrated corner stone
OF the Baltimore &, Ohio railroad mas
been found and is ready to be viewed
as one OF the sights Of a century al
most gone. It does seem strange that
such an important and valuable relic
as q railroad corner stone should be
] lost for years and years. One would
think that personal pride on the part
or great corporation would have pre-
served It's location in it's archives, but
what Is everybody's business proved
IN this case that nobody attended to
It. Several months ago, some seeker
1or the unusual developed the fact that
the 3. & O. would be seventy years
old on July 4, 1898. A search, of Bal
tlmore Libraries and the stalls and
stores OF ancient book sellers brought
TO light some very interesting data and
then the question was asked, "Where
is the corner stone?" Everybody knew
that there had been corner stone laid
with such impressive ceremony and
pomp or parade, that books have been
written about it, but no one knew
where 1t was. The oldest employe had
forgotten, and there was nothing in
the maintenance Of way archives that
would locate it, Then came a search.
IL must be in Baltimore and near
"nere the first rails were laid. An old
pamphlet gave the first clue. The B.
q -. hogan ,ko4 &
care Junction, near the great B, &
y. shops in the Southwestern part of
Baltimore. After several weeks ma
tlent search the only railroad corner
stone was located, three feet below the
surface and very near the present
tracks. Steps were at once taken to
protect 1t from vandals and now IA
ne" base is being chiseled from mar
Die, an ornamental iron fence forged.
and before long this seventy year old
relic will be lifted from it's under
ground resting place and be exhibited
on the exact spot where the venerable
Cnarles Carroll of Carrollton laid it
almost three-quarters of a century ago.
Inc inscriptions are perfect and the
contents are as described in nam
phlet issued soon after the important
event. This pamphlet contains care
fully written story, and some interest
ing extracts are taken from it.

Fighting Mons ters,

The American Museum of Natural
History in New York has recently &C.
CURED some plaster casts of models
representing strange animals of past
geological periods. It is believed that
such models will have much popular
educational value, since they have been
carefully prepared from scientific de-
scriptions Of the remains Of the mon
sters whose forms they reproduce. One
Of these extinct saurians, named by
Professor Cope the laelaps, was car
niverous animal with heavy hind quar-
ters, the body measuring about seven
feet and the tail eight feet In length.
Professor Cope believed that the lac
laps could leap through the air, and the
model shows one Of the creatures Is
the act Of springing upon an enemy. !.

A Demand for a New incubator,

All over the country come complaints
of the insufficient insulation of electric
wires. Trees are destroyed, buildings
are set on fire and no end of mischief
is done simply because the wires that
are stretched hither and yon are not
sufficiently protected by the insulating
cover; indeed, where the utmost pre-
cautions are taken there is more or less
danger. Many of the wires are in GER
tain localities attached to trees. These
sway in the wind, drawing the wire
back and forth over some intervening
branch. 1t is but the work of short
time to wear off the covering when at
every movement the wire emits a spark
that in little while seriously Injuries
or entirely destroys the tree. The
trouble seems to be that sufficient care
is not exercised in putting UP wires.
Or else the covering is not adequate to
the wear and tear to which it is sub
jected. The general opinion is that
wires should never be attached to trees
or buildings where there is any posi-
bility of enough motion to result in the
wearing off of the insulating cover.
