Heard at Dickens Tomb.

The grave of Dickens, in front of the
chancel in Westminster Abbey, is the
most prominent tomb in the whole
English pantheon, on account of the
inscription in letters of brass. 1t is
more interesting to Americans than
any other in the edifce. Recently it
was decked with what a verger
described as the largest wreath he had
ever seer in the Abbey. 1t was a huge
affair of bay leaves and white lilies.
It is mostly the Americans who leave
the wreaths.
Later in the day, according to a
veracious chronicler in Galignani, a
lady and a gentleman came up, and
"We want to ask you if you can di-
rect US to the grave of Charles Dick
ens-the novelist, they added explain
atorily. The verger pointed to the
stone. ''It's right here" said the mar
to the lady. "Well, I should never
have, gone back home satisfied if I
hadn't seer it," said she, and as she
spoke she unpinned bunch OF violets
that she wore and dropped it within
the circle of the huge wreath upon
the stone. Il expect I should like to
leave a memento as WE'LL" said the
man, and he dropped his buttonhole
by the side of hers. Then the vera.
cious chronicler INDUCES in some re
markable phonetics to indicate the
American lady's pronunciation of the
&C." She is represented as saying.

RUulanyer'S HOrse.

The 14th of July was the great day
of B%oulanger's life, so far as popular
admiration and exterior manifesto
lions were concerned. TWAS the date
of the appearance of the black horse
the horse that became for a time a
party symbol, a political finger post,
a feature in the history of France.
He was a prodigiously SNOWY horse,
as gorgeous as he was famous. He
was composed principally of a brand
ishing tail, a new moon neck, a look
ing glass skin and the actions of Dem
osthenes. He seemed to possess two
PAGES only-afretting walk and wind
mill canter. He was a thorough spe-
cimen of what the Spaniards call IAN
arrogant horse. He was gaudy, yet
solemn; strutting, yet stately; tiaunt-
ing, yet majestic; magniloquent, yet
eloquent.
He was drilled with the most adj,
mirable skill. His were SO
superlative that with all his fire-work
display he could not haVe been either
difficult to handle or firing to sit.
Never was a horse SO emphatically
suited to his rider. The two were
identical in their ways. Each was as
eilded as the other. As the horse
bounded the general, who had the
weak grip, rocked on him. At every
stride he swung harmon;ously in the
saddle and bent right and left alter
nately like a stage sovereign bowling
tohis assembled people.-Blackwood's

Gazing dreamily at the "God.Bless'

boarder with the freckles on his nose
continued: eyes, it really gives me
great pleasure to notice that the but
ter is convalescing! !"
The man withthe barbed-wire beard
looked unhappy, and an expression
of contempt, not unmixed, however,
with curiosity, fitted across the facs
of the landlady.
"Convalescing T. she replied; "wha'
do you mean?"
The man with the yellow whisker'
smiled expectantly.
The man with the freckles on his
nose nerved himself for the ordeal
and replied: because it grows
stronger every day!'
During the excitement that followed
the man with the double chin helped
himself to the last slice of bread OF
the table.-Baltimore American.

The Formidable nature OF the compe-
tition which our steel makers are now
offering toward the British steel trade
is most strikingly set out in an article
prepared by an expert for publication
in London and transmitted to the de-
partment of state by United States
Consul Parker at Birmingham. The
expert shows that England is threaten
ed in it's supremacy as the iron master
by two conditions: First, the exhaus-
ton of it's own ores and Of the cheap
foreign ores it has been so largely US
ing, and, second, the rapid growth OF
American competition.
1t is this second factor that is natur-
ally of absorbing interest to Amerl-
cans in the estimation of Consul Par
ker. He directs special attention to the
means that have enabled u steel men
to bring their ores GOO to 500 miles to
the blast furnaces, carry the finished
product 500 miles from the interior to
tidewater at New York and thence
fra nsport it a distance of 5000 miles
by sea and compete easily with British
homemade steel. Tho expert believes
that the most remarkable Of these
means is the gigantic sole upon which
American iron making pHints are built
and operated. roV
Commenting upon tt. British ex-
pert's article, Consul Parker says he
is continually being asked by British
manufacturers whether the American
competition will last, and If so where
they can buy the steel. The shipments
of steel so far made. he says, have Civ
IN general satisfaction as to quality.
Indeed. there has been a strange COM
plant that it is "too good" which
means that If is better than the manu-
facturer has been accustomed to EN-

THOSE FILIPINO BRASS BULLETS.
What Is Said by Army Medical Men al
to Their Use Against Our Soldiers.

What Is Said by Army Medical Men al
to Their Use Against Our Soldiers.
Medical officers of the army are not
disturbed by the report that BRASS
tipped bullets are extensively used by
the insurgents at Manila. There is a
popular belief, not substantiated by
medical experience, that wounds pro-
duced by such bullets cause gangrene
and death in a majority of cases. 1t
IS said by doctors that while the brass
bullet has a tendency to tear and en-
large a wound, experience shows that
1t does not affect the wound seriously.
Bullets covered with grease are much
more liable to cause serious danger,
on account Of the germs thatmay adj
here to them and the dirt they
gather.
Several medical officers said recent
y that while it was not considered a
civilized method of warfare to use any
bullets that would unduly enlarge a
wound, there is no difference between
what is known as the Dum-Dum bull
let and the brass-covered one. The
Dum-Dum is a bullet with an end of
soft lead, which mushrooms" or
spreads on hitting, charging the sur
face of entrance snd causing the flesh
20 be torn and bruised. Such bullets
are not regarded we.h favor, yet they
are used in the Brituh service. The
United States 'armf has also been
considering the adv stability of adopt
ing softer lead for Il, Q purpose Of caus.
ing the mushroomi!0g effect.
The practice of poisoning bullets
was never recognized by any nation as
legitimate and met with favor only
among the tribes Of Africa, but the
brass bullet has for years been en-
ployed by insurgents in the Philip
pines and Cuba, with the sanction and
approval, it is said, of the superior Of
ticials. The Dum-Dum bullet is used
because the calibre of modern rifles
has been reduced to such an extent
Shat a small bullet will pierce a man
and still not incapacitate him from
service unless ome vital part is hurt.
It has been learned from reports re-
ceiyed by the war department. that
the b~rass-covered bullets used by the
Filipinos are all of the .43 Remington
calibre, a type of rife used by Spain as
the national small arm until the adop-
zion OF the Mauser some years ago,
when the Remingtons were shipped to
the colonies, andfor years the soldiery
of the Philippines and Cuba were
armed with them, A large number OF
the Philippine insurgents are equipped
With this type Of gun, although they
have also thousands of Mausers.
The brass-covered bullet was used
to a limited extent by the Spanish
troops who attacked the marines at
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and caused
at the time al impression that the
dead had been mutilated. A report
was sent by Admiral Sampson 20 this
effect, but he withdrew il later after
an Investigation by surgeons.

A Historical Anchor.

= the port anchor of the American
ship W. H. Macy could talk :. might
unfold some wonderful" yarns. The
big but dngraceful mudhook swing
ing over the ships bow was once sus-
pended through the hawse pipe of the
United States frigate Cumberland.
When it was made nobody o seems
to know, but in is more than likely
that it began its career of usefulness
with the launching of the Cumber-
land.
It was on the Cumberland in 1861
when the war broke out and probably
when the frigate disappeared under
the waters of Hampton roads. Be
tween that day and the time the
Macy was launched, which occurred
about fifteen years age, the history OF
the Cumberland's anchor was un-
known.
"Old Cumberland" as the sailors
call the big anchor, weighs about five
tons, which is nearly twice as much
as the average anchor used by sailing
craft. The stock is sixteen feet long
and of solid oak, which is as sonnd to.
day as when it rested on the deck Of
the Cumberland. The ring through
which the cable passes is large enough
to admit the passage of a body of 6
full-grown man, and the fukes are
lust three and a half feet wide. The
only signs Of the anchors past nov
visible is the name, "U. S. S. Cum
berland," stamped into the iron
Some of the letters are almost oblit

Proper Length of the Foot.

A perfectly formed foot should, &C
cording to ANTAGONISTS, be as long as
the bone in the forearm, which ex-
tends from the elbow to the joint of
the wrist. This seems to be abnor-
mally long in a tall person, but is the
measurement taken by artists. OF
course arms are sometimes out of pro-
portion, being far to short for the
general height, but it is rare that an
arm is too long for the stature of a
person.
