Amusing Story Regarding the Early
Work of Sir John Gilbert.

Work of Sir John Gilbert.
An amusing story is told of the early

When he had finished the work the edit
or Remarked:
why, Mr.. Gilbert, the story says an
escort of infantry soldiers, and here
on the block you have given us mount
ed ones"
Dear me, so l have" responded the
artist, "but I haven't time to do an
other drawing. Can't you make an al
iteration in the story to make it fit in?''
The copy" was handed to a subor-
dinate to make the requisite alteration,
but that gentleman forgot to delete
the chapter describing how the sol

mountain, parts of which they were
obliged to scale with ladders. Horses
could not have been got there unless

A Magazine Which Builds Houses.
The readers of The Ladies' Home

series of practical architectural
plans showing how artistic houses
could be built at moderate cost. 1t
employed special architect, and
his work was certainly artistic.
Besides the plans it agreed to fur

house at minimum cost Thou
sands of people liked the plans
given and the series has been a
great success for the magazine.
This spriug the building of over
five hundred houses, varying in
cost from 1880 to $1,000 each, will

"CALL A SPADE A SPADE. :"
Some People too Modest to CODGe in their PyScanA Woman
Cured Of Serious Disease BY Certain Method the Only
Drawback of which was, It Made Her Too Fat"
From Me Euening Meus, Detroit. Mich.

The doctor came in haste and found his
patient again in great agony from q splitting
headache. 1t was his fifth call on the same
pa;icnt, and each time to trent the same
trouble. With a suspicion that his diagno.
sis was Incorrect and that he was treating a
symptom and not the disease, he said 70 her
dMadam, it is useless for me to visit you
again You are keeping from me facts and
symptoms which IL is necessary | should

that through a false modesty, she had not
told him all. Then she told how she had
suffered from female weakness but had kept
it from him-too modest to speak The old
doctor was disgusted at such prudishucts
but when he knew the facts, cured her easily
and quickly.
Tie following case differs from the above
only in the fact that the patient is not afraid
t. speak, and to "call a spade aspade."

HIS EXILE AT AN END
Executive Clemency Exercised in a
Singular Case

Columbia, S. Ex-Governor Ellerbe has
pardoned l.. T. Corbett, member of one OF
the best families in South Carolina and
now a citizen of San Francisco, Cal. IN
the spring of 1886 young Corbett, then a
lad of 10, was experimenting store on his
fathers plantation in Sumter county. IT
was charged that the boy sold liquor to the
negroes, and, having no license, prosecution
followed. The boy fed the country, with
out giving any intimation Of his intentions
Immediately afterward he was tried, con-
victed, and in his absence scaled sentence
was left by Judge Kershaw, who has since
died. 1t has never been opened.
1t now transpires that young Corbett
went to Colorado, where lie worked hard
and met with success. Then he went to
California, and prosperity followed him
He then married and is now a highly re-
spected citizen in his new home and a dea.
con in the Presbyterian church.
Some time ago he heard of his conviction
and then of the failing health of his father
and mother. He wished to return to see
his parents alive, but the sentence stood In
his path. When the people about his homo
heard of the circumstance, they prepared a
strong petition. Governor Ellerbe granted
pardon within an hour after the recent
Of the petition. The self-banished young
man has been telegraphed to hasten across
the continent.

The fewest possible passages are cut
through the protective deck, and, with the
exception of the air passages to the engine

The main battery consists of four Pinch
and eight S-inch rifles Of great power. A
secondary force of six 4-nch and twenty
6-pounder rapid fire guns will guard
against the approach of torpedo craft and
sweep destructively the exposed positions
and lightly armored parts of an enemys
deck.
The Pinch guns are mounted in two
massive turrets of 15-inch Harveyized
armor, the defensive equivalent of quite
twenty inches of normal nickel steel. These
turrets revolve within barbettes or great
columns of like material and thickness ris-
