CARTRIDGES IN SILK.
A Number OF Very Excellent Improve
ments Made in the
Maxim Gun.

Hiram Maxim recently informed a
Daily Mail representative that the
British government had given his firm
an order for their new guns, which have
a greatly increased firing speed and
so per cent. more penetrating power
than those hitherto constructed.
The United States had already or
dered from Messrs. Vickers' Sons &
Maxim a large number of these 19-inch
guns, and in reference to this Mr.. Maxim
said: "This last order is being sup
piled entirely by our factories in Amer
lea, on aecount of the neutrality laws,
which would prevent the weapons being.
shipped If made at the firms works in
Sheffield.
1--WE have made" said Mr.. Maxim, "a
good many 6-inch and 12-inch guns for
the British government, but these were
made from government specifications,
using government mechanism, but upon
showing the government officials some
thing better we have been given large
orders for guns made with our improved
mechanism, and this work Is being
executed at the present moment.
"The statement that our 12-inch gun
fires at the rate Of three shots a min
ute" he continued, "is substantially
true. This, however, does not mean the
that it can be steadily fired at that
rate. 1t might be done for the first
minute, commencing with the gun
loaded. One thing you can rely upon,
and that is that our 12-inch and G-inch
guns are superior to any guns that have
vet been invented, both in power and in
rate OF firing. Any nation using our new
high-power G-inch and 12-inch guns
can rest secure that they will never
encounter anything that viii shoot
faster or with any greater penetrating
power.
'gThe chief features in the new gun
are an improved breech-blocS and the
substitution of an asbestos case for the
metal cartridge formerly used. The
usual breech-bloel1 requires severa
turns to hold it safely in position after
the charge has been inserted. This loss
of time is obviated by mechanical al
teration that gives the same soliditl
with but single twist of the block. TIT

"The day the new 6-inch gun wa
tried at Portsmouth the perforation i'm
piled, according to Tresidder's formula
was 22.7 inches Of iron, the greatest per

TAFFETAs FOR EVENING.
Some Modish Ways OF Making Up one
of the semson'z Most Pop
ulnr Fnbrics.

Tie plain taffetas are the smartest at
present for evening wear, and they
come in The most fascinating shades
the blues, the pinks, the greens, and
the yellows are colors among which
It is hard TO mal1e n choice. They all
look so dainty aud fresh, and have such
a pretty sheen to them, and light up
SO well, that it is.hard not TO buy more
than one Of them.
Most Of the evening gowns now are
made with the skirt and waist of the
same material, but white lace waists,
both high and low, are also worn with
tafreta skirts. a very pretty model has
the skirt Of pale blue trimmed with
ruchings of white gauze ribbon, put on
high at the back, and then low down
in front in long sweeping lines. The
body of the waist is made quite full IN
front, but very tight-fitting at the
sides, with n tremendous bias cut, and
some fullness at the back drawn In
under the belt. Around the shoulders
hetrimming is n bertha of plated white
mousseline de sole cut in squares and
edged with Valenciennes lace. The
sleeves are small puffs almost covered
with pieces of the bertha, which falls
over them. The sash Is Of white taffeta
tied in a bow at the back
Another gown, this is Of cream-white
taffeta, has a deep tlounce trimmed with
bands Of white sash ribbon. The waist
has basque at the hack, and in front
a long point. II is cut V-shape, aud has
folds Of the silk turned back TO show a
/ small pointed vest Of satin plisse COW
cred with white lace. The sleeves are
very small and in two puifs, covered
with lace caps. There is no sash TO this
gown, but from the side seams 10 the
front are pieces Of satin ribbon which
fasten at the waist line with a very
elaborate buckle Of rhinestones. The
gown is exceedingly dainty and simple
, and most becoming.
The very newest fad OF the season Is
the revival of an old fashion-the sin
visite which our grandmothers wore. Il

which can be worn with any skirt, no

POVERTY IN INDIA.

Thus one sees that the population

ited by a most frugal people, increases

rope, at about the same rate as Japan,
and at slower rate than that Of many
native states within its own borders;
that India suffers under a poverty

tricts where the population Is even d.
minishing; that Of the otherstates with
which one has compared IL, though rep
reseuting a great range Of civilization
and prosperity. some rich and some
poor. none shows so hopeless degree
OF poverty; and that, nevertheless, one
is asked to consider the increase Of its
population as the main source Of its
misery-the one obstacle which thwarts
the good intentions Of a beneicent and
enlightened government.
Finally. when one hears Of "over-pop-
ulaton" as the cause Of Indian poverty.
is it meant that the people are toe
numerous for the land TO supply them
with food? Food is exported from

sequence of the pressure OF numbers.

food? The export Of raw cotton, opium
and jute is sufficient to pay for the eot-
ton goods. which are the only foreign
manufactures the mass Of the Indians
use. Tie indians need no foreign lux
uries; they export food, and yet one is
told there is "oyerpopulation." But
there is sne thing one has forgotten.
There is one foreign luxury. the most
expensive OF all luxuries. and in that
the people Of India are forced 10 indulge

FRANCOIS coPpEE's YOUTH.
RecouectiOns of the Great Author
Recalled by the Accidental
Finding of n Book.

Francois Coppee, one of the most
charming modern French authors, has
lately published some recollections OF
his early youth, recalled by the acci-
dental finding of the old thumbworn
book from which his mother taught him
his letters. Like the strains of his
Crenona violin, it is another touching
evidence of the lasting impression upon
great minds of the lessons impaired by
q loving gentlewoman. He says:
This old primer, from which my
mother taught me my letters, the very
one which she had preserved from the
time when she herself was taught, re-
minds me that once she also was lit
tie girl. But it is impossible for me to
imagine her games OF frolics, her youth
full loves and maiden pleasures, or even
her early joyous married life. For me
she will ever be my mother-my dear
old mother.
How many trials and anxieties
caused this dear parent, not that she
ever had reason 10 doubt my love for
her even for an instant, but when one
is young, full of life, hattered by praise
and hope, he is prone to forget that
there is seated by the freside at the
home which he neglects for worldly
pleasures an old mother, who hardly
dares to utter timid reproach to hel
fast-growing son, but who is alarmed
at the dangers through which he j!
passing; who suffers to see him lose th'
purity and candor of his childhood anC
who weeps in silence.
IF these lines should meet the eye O
some young man about to commit al
indiscretion let him pause a momen
and reflect that, without being Grim
inal, it will be a sad day for him, whei
he is an old man, to recollect that h
made his mother weep.
ut is over 20 years since my mothe
died, but I still retain the saddles
recollection in my heart, for on that da
something infinitely sweet was lost on

LIGHTING A ROOM
Points TO he Observed in Pnpcrinr
and Decorating Walls md
Ceilings.

Considerable care should be taken 10
choose a wall paper or wall decoration
that will light up well. Some colors
have the power Of absorbing the light.
Scientific decorators measure the
amount of light different colors require
about as follows: A room papered
with dark brown paper of a certain
given size will require 81 candles TO
light it. If the same room is papered
with dark blue. ~ candles will light
it. If il is pale yellow, 80 candles will
be sufficient, and a white room may be
lighted with IS candles as thoroughly
as if the same room when papered with
dark brown paper were lighted with 81
candles. AS the power OF most lamps
is reckoned by the number Of candles
they equal in light. candle-'ight is. there
fore. the standard to judge by. 1t should
be remembered, however, that no room
is al white or all dark brown. though
papered i'm this way, and that the fur
niture and various objects in the room
all tend TO absorb or Intensity light
according to their color. II is not de.
sirable to have white paper because
the color or want of color is too glarng
for the eyes. A creamy tint OF paper
with an indistinct pattern is a desirabl,
choice for the wall Of a sitting-room. ir
