A Twelve-Inch Wire- Wound Gun.

Our American cousins are not, our
Plymouth correspondent says, appar-
emily to enjoy monopoly in the
manufacture of man-killing weapons.
Although it has been known for many
have introduced for the navy new
type of 12-inch breech loading gun,
few are aware of the enormous advan-
tages the new weapon can claim over
existing ordnan ce of the same callbre.
The new gun, which is to be known
as the "Mark g." is constructed OF
steel on the wire wound principle, SO
that the liability to fracture is reduced
to minimum. Cordite charges only
will be used, and lenthy series of
experiments have shown that charge
of 1877. pounds of cordite is sufficient
to fire projectile $50 pounds in
weight distance of ten thousand
yards, whereas the existing 12-inch
guns need a charge of $50 pounds OF
powder to fire projectile weighing
ia pounds the same distance.
The new gun has also greater de-
structive capacity, it having been
found that it's projectile will penetrate
21. inches of wrought iron at dis
tance of seventeen hundred yards.
while the penetrating power of the ~
inch gun at the same distance is 1877
inches. At shorter distances the diff
ferences in the destructive capacity is
much more pronounced, the muzzle
perforation of the new gun being 3S.5
inches of iron, as against 26.7 inches
in the case of the older type of weapon.
The first vessels to be armed with
these guns will be the battle-ships

Chatham and Ocean at Devonport.-

Cost of Il Petty Suit.

The folly of going to law is shown by
q recent transaction in the Justice
Court at Greenville. The constable
levied upon 500 pounds of seed cot
ton, which when sold the next day un-
der the attachment brought the sum
of $1134. When all costs were paid
there was left $3.70. which, by the
terms of the original instrument, went
to the attorney, leaving the attaching
party without cent from the collec-
tion.-Dallas (Texas) News.

Notes of the Crusade.

Take for the foundation-stone of your
character sobriety.
The freshman class Of Cornell University
has decided to prohibit the use of liquor at
its annual banquet.
"Papa and mamma were nearly all the
time drunk" were the opening words of a
statement made by child in New York
murder case, recently. Liquor stain and
blood-stain are often closely related.
Some years ago the Calcutta Medical
Record said: "Society's use of alcohol is
the secret Of half the jaundiced, haggard,
dried up, prematurely- Europeans We
find in India.''
May the good work OF temperance go on
with ever-increasing interest! 1t means to
every one more abundant blessings, hap
pier homes, better health, a fuller pocket
book, and q keener sense of the enjoyments
OF life.
Some time ago s60, 900 was left by gen.

ter. The Court has recently pronounced
In favor Of the will, and awarded this sum,
$50. 200. to the home.

The Secrat Drinker.

The secret drinker is no doubt injured in
the same way as others, and his foolish ef-
forts to conceal this act intensihes the in
Jury, which after a time breaks out in some
unexpected form, ending fatally. The sud-
den, unexpected death of persons'previous-
ly supposed to be well, has In many cases
revealed the fact of secret spirit drinking
Of many years duration, with destruction
of vitality and general decadence. Life In
surance companies are often aware Of this
fact, and appeal for help, but it is exceed
ingly difficult to convict or prove secret
drinking in a man with large insurance,
and more difficult after death to bring out
this fact. The law in these cases will sell
dom allow presumptive evidence; it must
be direct and positive of the use of spirits.
Unmistakable insanity is present in some
cases, seen in the unusual cunning and
wise calculation to procure spirits and con-
ceal its effects

Lincoln's Promise to His Mother.

While drinking whisky was the fashion
all about him, Abraham Lincoln never for
got his dead mothers request to close his
lips against intoxicants. Once, when he
was member of Congress, u friend criti-
cised him for his seeming rudeness in de-
clining to test the rare wines provided by
their host, urging as reason for the re-
proof, "There is certainly no danger of a
man of your years and habits becoming
addicted to its use"
''I mean no disrespect, john" answered
Mr.. Lincoln, but promised my precious
mother only few days before she died
that would never use anything intoxicat-
ing as a beverage, and I consider that
promise as binding to-day as it was the
day gave it,
''There is great difference between
child surrounded by a rough class of
drinkers, and a man in home OF refine
ment," insisted the friend.
"But q promise is a promise forever,
John, and when made to mother it Is
doubly binding" replied Mr.. Lincoln.

"Here to Do Business. !"

As was walking down a certain street
in New York City, writes Harry Green
smith, my attention was called to large
sign overhanging the sidewalk, which
read-"Here to ID 70 Business
passed on; but later in the evening I
returned the same way, and the same sign
still shown forth its message, "Here to Do
Business" This time the changeable col
ored electric lights, which cleaned through
the letters, made the sign all the more
noticeable.
My curiosity was aroused: turned to
to investigate. A large plate glass window,
with its colored electric shades sent forth
its glow across the street. pushed aside
the mahogany screen doors and entered. I
found myself in a New York fashionable
saloon.
As walked down the aisle walked over
silver and gold dollars inlaid in the floor.
As neared the further end, found small
rooms curtained Off, and furnished In
mahogany; chairs, tables and lounges, all
of the very best workmanship. For wains-
coting they have beveled plate glass mir
rors. On the walls were, what some might
term beautiful oil paintings; to me they
were filthy, lewd, disgusting,
went further and still these rooms con-
tinued, lit up only by meagre wax candles

but stop and notice the long bar, made of
solid mahogony, inlaid with silver and
gold coins, and choice pearls.
Behind the bar was long plate glass
mirror. noticed u flaw in one end of it,
and inquired of the bartender the cause.
I was Informed that some young men, hav-
ing imbibed too freely, began quarreling.
One drew a revolver, to shoot the bar
tender, and missing him, had hit the glass.
The owner Of the saloon, standing near by,
heard my question, and in a rage further
answered.: sYesl / would to God it had
hit the man rather than have broken that
glass;"
Upon further inquiry, heard that the
interior of that saloon had cost little
over 800, 900. With plying eye, and q
sorrowful heart, turned from the scene to
pass out, and to encounter again that over
hanging sign-"Here to Do Business"
AS passed down the street, that sign
went ever before me; those words still
rang in my ears-'Here to Do Business"
Yes; what kind of business? A business
that will debauch manhood that will ruin
womanhood, that will ensnare the young
man, that will rob virtue from the young
woman, and leave them all outcasts from
society, to walk our streets In despair, lie
in the cutters in drunkenness; damned for
this life, and without hope for the life
which is to come!
Invent on my knees and asked my God.

Satan rule this benighted land OF ours?''

Re A BIG STORM PREDICTED NLLSCOTT and THE FLAG
is TO BE THE WORST IN TWENTY
YEARS
Colonel Macfarlane Ready to Risk His
Reputation as a Prophet on His OBJ
servations of Conditions.

Colonel Macfarlane predicts the
greatest storm the Islands have had for
twenty years. He bases his predictions
on observations made during his many
trips to and from the coast during the
past year, together with the observa-
tions of ship masters covering the same
period, which he has collected.
The summary of these observations
is that throughout nearly the whole of
the past year the course of the winds
has been abnormal. In the longitudes
where northeast winds are expected,
easterly winds have been experienced,
and where westerly winds were to be
expected the winds have been north
easterly. The winds in the Islands
have been capriciOus. As Colonel
Macfarlane expresses it, "the winds
have been out of gear for nearly
year His own observations have
been corroborated and the same CON
ditiOns shown to exist over q wide area
by the observations of the masters of
the China steamers and other vessels
These abnormal conditions having
existed SO long" he says, 1T will take
a mighty cOnVulsion, a terrific storm
to restore the equilibrium, and get the
conditions back to the normal. | eX-
pect that storm very soon.'
