A noiseless electric gun has been in

OF a Portland, England, grocer. A
seven-pound model of the weapon shat

working at a model which will weigh
one hundredweight. The English ad-

The late Field Marshal Won Wrangel
OF Prussia was a great martinez, and

The British admiralty has decided to
max a determined effort to maintain
the gunnery practice of the navy in the
highest possible state of efficiency.
Captains of large guns, and especially
OF those mounted in turrets and bar
bettes, are to be given every opportu-
nifty for practice. By an ingenious ar
rangement the practice will be carried
out by small quick-fring guns, trained
and elevated under the same conditions
as the large weapons, the only differ
ence being that when the large gun is
accurately brought to bear on the OBJ
ject the small gun only will be fired,
thus preserving the life Of the large
Jul and ~effecting a large saving of
powder and shell. For this practice
there Is to be no stint whatever of am
munition and the admiralty further re-
quest commanding officers to clearly
understand that good shooting and eff
1ciency in the working of big guns are
always to be considered as taking prec-
edence Of all other duties. In arrang-
ing the practice special attention is to
be given to the exercise of captains Of
turrets in judging distances, especial
ly OF ships at sea. The admiralty will
substantially increase the amount an
nually allowed as prize money for
heavy-gun practice.

The Seventh regiment of the New
York National Guard was given a mon
ster l~eft-handed ovation in the Memo
ria day parade. The occasion was its
nrst public appearance since the war
win Spain, in which the regiment did
not participate. The rank and file had
long been dreading a demonstration.
Inc regiment had made several excur-
slons to Creedmoor, but always in the
early hours, since that memorable day
when 1t decided not to volunteer in the
war with spain because Gov. Black and
AdJt.-t1ea, ~Tillinghast would not call it
out as a whole, thus preserving the in
dividuality of the organization. Hard
ly had the doors of the armory been
closed after the regiment than the I'M
friendly demonstration began. Some
children In Sixty-seventh street greet
ed the soldiery with Kisses and cat
calls. Not until the column began to
move down Fifth avenue, though, did
the Seventh get into really uncomfor-
table surroundings. At Fifty-frst
street the crowd grew more direct in
its comments. Young men, boys and
occasionally old men jeered in derision.
Why didn't you go to the WARP"
piped up a youngster.
"Fraidcats!" cried another.
Hello, tin soldiers!" said a spare
shouldered youth from the HeIl's
Kitchen neighborhood.
1t was at the reviewing stand near
the Worth monument that the Seventh
had its severest trial. Maj.-Gen. Miles,
Mayor Van Wyck and many other dig
nitaries were there. The cheers for the
regular soldiery were still ringing
when the Seventh came into view.
There was a moments silence.
IT'S the Seventh" cried a man on
the fringe of the crowd.
"Featherbed soldiers!" Get off the
earthi" why didn't you go to the
WARP" yelled the crowd.
From the window of a house near
Twelfth street a pillow slip Of feathers
was opened, and the wind carried the
down over the heads of the regiment.
"Featherbeds!" yelled the crowd.
Then the friends of the regiment
took their turn and tried to drown out
he Kisses with cheers. The regiment
passed under the Washington arch,
turned into Fourth street and
marched to the Bowery and up to the
Ninth street elevated station. There
was no demonstration in the Bowery.

Moonlight on the Grave.

moonlight on the Grave.
IL shineth on the quiet graves
Wnere weary ones have gone,
IL watcheth with angelic gaze
where the dead are left alone;
AND not a sound of busy life
To the still graveyard comes,
But peacefully the sleepers lie
Down In their silent homes.
All silently and solemnly
II throweth shadows round,
ana every gravestone hath a trace
IN on the ground;
II IooReth on the tiny mound
Where a little child is laid,
ana II ilghteth up the marble pile
winch human pride hath made.
IL talleth with unaltered ray
On the simple and the stern,
And II showeth with a solemn light
Inc sorrows we must learn;
1t telleth of divided ties
y which its beam hath shone.
II of heavy hearts
which "brokenly live on"
1t gleameth where devoted ones
Are sleeping side by side,
IL looketh where the maiden rests
Who In her beauty died.
There is no grave in all the earth
That moonlight hath not seen;
1t gazeth cold and passionless
Where agony hath been.
Yet 1t Is well; that changeless ray
"A deeper thought should throw,
When mortal love pours forth the tide
OF unavailing O
1t teacheth us no shade of grief
Can touch the starry sky,

Where Wolves Carry OF Human Prev.
News has been received in Lucknow
OF the depredations of a pack of wolves
IN a village a few miles out. Among
other acts, one of them carried off a
little baby, but on being chased the
beast dropped the infant, which, unfor-
tunately, died. A party of sahibs ar
rived with their guns, and when they
heard of what had happened they sug-
gested that the child should be left
Where 1t lay in hopes that its destroy
er might return and be awarded a lust
penalty for his misdeed. The parents,
who were bitterly grieved and INK
ious for revenge on the vulpine beast.
consented to the arrangement, and the
sahlbs sat up over the novel kill"
The wolf actually did return, and a
well-aimed shot hurried him off to that
bourne from which no wolf returns.

Bread Made from Unground Wheat


We have been so long accustomed tc
eating bread made from -four that the
thought of bread without flour seems
absurd. But the Germans have discov-
cred a way of making bread directly
from wheat as it comes from the husk.
After the wheat has been thoroughly
sifted aRd cleaned it is soaked in tepid
water for several hours. Then it Is
poured into a machine which mashes il
into a paste. Then it is shaped into
loaves and baked. This bread, called
"antispire," is very brown and pala-
table, and it is said tina. it never gets
moldy and will remain fresh for many
days. This real wheat bread is be-
lieved to be more nour 3hing and more
easily digested than the ordinary
white" bread.

A Mystery.

A Mystery.
A-sailing and a-sailing,
A-sailing far away,
This morn l saw my fathers boat
Go sailing down the bay.
He said, my little Gretchen,
I'll fetch a gift for you;
1t does not weigh a single hair,
And not a soul can view.
1T is not caught with net or line,
And yet 1t is to me
Worth all the store of shining fish
That travel through the sea-"
NOW supper-time Is bringing
The hour hat 1 love best;
When all the boats come sailing home,
And fathers with the rest.
l think I've guessed the secret.
Perhaps it's only this:
The treasure father hold so dear
Is nothing but a kiss.

Who Are Citizens?


Not the least interesting point raised
by the recent acquisition of islands
beyond the sea are those which con-
Germ the relation of the inhabitants of
those islands to the government of the
United States. The Constitution, in
the fourteenth amendment, declares
that "all persons born or naturalized
in the United States, and subject to
the Jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of
the United States and of the state
wherein they reside" What, then. is
the political status of a native of
Puerto Rico? That island is a part of
the United States; the native was born
there, and is subject to the jurisdiction
of the United States. Is ne entitled
to all the rights of any citizen, and if
he chooses to remove to Florida. can
he become a voter without undergo
ing naturalization? Some writer's
nave taken the position that we may
e the Constitution as saying that
all persons subject to he
Jurisdiction Of the United States are
citizens" This is clearly u~nwarranted
since the Indians, the Chinese and I'M
naturalized foreigners s3giding in the
country are subject to the jurisdiction
OF the government, but they are not
citizens.

plan, half the opium of this season
being packed in jars and half in bags.
There is little doubt, however, as to
b final opinion.
h advantages are obvious-frst,
no breakages can occur, and there is
much less lost by the amount of opium
sticking or adhering to the sides, In
the latter case 1t is estimated that one
pound per jar is saved; while about S
per cent Is lost in b~reakages, or about
foul pounds per jar. There is, there
fore, a saving of about five pounds per
jar, and as each sub-agency sends
about 10000 jars, the saving amounts
to 160,00O pounds.
A chest of opium weighing 125
pounds sells for 1000 rupees at least.
