shrannel,s TERRIFIC Force.

In fighting at close range one of the
deadly things that will be brought in.
to use will be the shrapnel. Expert.
ments extending over a long period
have brought this terrible projectile to
great perfection, and the United
States Army has ready tor service now
several types that are considered al
most perfect for their purpose. Shrap-
nels are hollow proiectiles filled with
a bursting charge, and containing in
addition 200 to $50 balls of hardened
lead, which are in layers separated
from each other with cast iron separa-
tors.
Shrapnels are made of all sizes up
to seven-inch. Tests show that when
they explode 1000 yards from the muz-
zle of the gun the bullets and frag
ments will cover circle at least
twenty feet in diameter. This
pleasant missile is so designed that not
only do the bullets fly around with
force te go through two or three men
each. but every part of the shell, in
Guiding even the cast iron separators,
will burst into jagged pieces and spread
destruction.
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1898-05-04

From 1910 to 1850 London's popu-
lation increased 81 per cent. and New
York's rs per cent. Since that time
the percentages of increase have been
as follows: From 1850 to 1880, Lon
don's % per cent, and New York's 10
per cent; from 1860 to 1870, London's
Is per cent, and New, York's 81 per
cent; from 1870 to 1880, London's 10
per cent, and New York's 43 per
cent. from 1880 to 1890, London's Is
per cent, and New York's 81 per
cent; from 1890 to the present time,
London's "a per cent, and New York's
30 per cent. In the calculations
which the foregoing table makes with
respect to New York's future popula-
stion, it is extremely conservative; for
in all probability New. York will
eclipse London in population long be-
fora the approaching century reaches
its meridian.

CONSOLATION.

Whom Molly comes home from the party
tonight
The party was out at nine
There were traces OF tears in her bright
blue eyes
That looked mourntully up toImine.
For some one had said, she whispered to
me,
With her face on my shoulder hid,
Some one had said (there were sobs in her
yoice)
That they didn't like something she did.
SO cook my little girl up on my knee
am old and exceedingly wise
And said: my dear, now listen to me;
Just listen and dry your eyes.
''This world is diffi suit world, indeed,
And people are hard to suit
And the man who plays on the violin
Is a bore to the man with the flute.
"And myself have often thought
How very much better 'twould be
II every one Of the folks that l know
Would only agree with me.
"But since they will not, the very best way
To make this world look bright
Is never to mind what people say.
And do what you think is right"

Huntsman Has a Big Head.

Professor Gus. Stainsky, the we'll.
known taxidermist of Colorado
Springs, is now engaged in mounting
what is conceded to be the finest and
largest moose head in the world. The
head came from large bull moose
killed last summer in the Cooks Inlet
country by Hall Dewese, sportsman
of Canon City, who is noted for his
nerve and prowess in venturiug into
wild sections. The exact measure:
ments of the moose head and horns
are as follows Spread of antlers, 69
inches; length of beam, 4S inches;
palmates, 10 inches; circumference of
beam burr at head, 16l inches; cir.
cumference of beams at smallest place,
10 inches. The antlerb have thirty
two points. The body measured IA
feet 4 inches from lip to rear hoof; G
feet s inches from hoof to top OF
withers; girth, feet 8 9inches; around
neck at shoulders, feet 7 inches;
32I inches from tip to tip of ears; A
inches around the lips Of the open
mouth. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

old Time "Best Men. -

During the old days of Sweden
there were several best men, and the
term was applied in its full literal
sense. 2 The duty OF the best men in
those times was to defend the groom
and his prospective bride from a
rival, who, accompanied by several
retainers, was sure to appear while
the wedding procession was on its way
to church and make stubborn fight
for possession of the woman.
The scandinavian warrior consid-
cred it beneath his dignity to court a
maiden's .favorl by gallantry and sub
mission, and therefore generally pre-
ferred to wait until she was on her
way to be married to another man,
when the attempt was made to carry
her off by main strength. 1t was
then that the best men-if they were
the best men-came into good play.
Hence the custom is still preserved in
the chest" mau of to-day. -Philadel-

it back to me in week. Promised
