A D1M1NUTIvE REVOLVER.
II Is Only One Inch and q Half Lons
Yet II Shoots with Great
Accuracy.

Perhaps the smallest revolver ever
known has been discovered in Germany.
It is 1hinches long and is made OF
steel, gold-plated. The handle is made
of pearl. The hammer and trigger
work exactly as in a regular revolver
and the cylinder holds seven cartridges.
Each cartridge Is SO small that to load
the revolver q rammer and pair OF
pincers are used. These are attached to
the handle by ring. The cartridge IL
picked up with the pincers, inserted In
to the chamber and rammed into place.
The cartridges are charged with full
minite, and the ball is about the size
of a No. 8 shot. When the trigger Ii
pulled and the hammer strikes the car
fridge there is an explosion about as
loud as when gun cap is snapped.
This little revolver shoots accurate
ly, but It is 80 small that one cannot
handle 1t so that 1t may be aimed ex-
actly. The ball has force enough to go
through heavy cardboard. The hole
where it enters is very small, but 1t has
tearing capacity when it comes out
The revolver was bought by Mr.. c. j..
Schneider, who tested its shooting
powers in his Office one day. He placed
a card on his desk and fred. There
was little scream from the stenog-
rapher on the other side of the room,
who was rubbing her neck and insisted
that something had stung her. The
ball had gone through the cardboard,
struck the lock Of the desk, glanced OIL
across the room and hit the young
woman.

House and Harm TO Rent.
House and barn for rent on Magyar
treet. Inquire of Wm. Il. H. Sutliff.
The Holly chieftain., 1899-09-08

One OF the girls here has told me
her ability to go down a rope and that
she did descend from third story win
dow without any trouble. She was not
one OF the venturesome athletes
either. and l vas very glad to hear that
she had been able to do It. 1t means a
great deal 20 undertake anything like
that when there is not the necessity
and the consequent excitement. We
learn here to climb the rope before We
go down it, and that is the most diff
cult part. The girls sometimes climb
one rope and reach over to another
and go down that. This comes under
the head of heavy gymnastics, and
every one does not care to take it up.
The work is laid out in a regular course
which comes in order. Children some
times are able to climb the ropes at
the end of the first season: older people
seldom or never do. A girl under 16
will do best OF all. Over l6 the girls
have perhaps been wearing tight
clothes and-they seldom or never have
the freedom of motion of the boys. The
older people get to rope climbing by
the second season. but the seasons for
most of them are short. Rope climb
ing Il an excellent exercise to develop
the muscles of the chest. il 1t is prop
erly done. but there is a great differ
ence. You see. some people use the
arms and you will see that they do 1t
in a way which, contracts the chest
and which is consequently detrimental.
Swinging by the rings is on the same
principle and may be done well or bad
ly, as the chest is or is not contracted.
The chest and upper arms are chiefly
developed by these exercises. and of
course the lower arm muscles to some
extent. The beginner takes practice
with the bar. irst raising and lowering
the body while the feet are on the fioor
to help support II. 1t is naturally
easier for a light. slender person to
come down a rope than for one who is
stout. There is less weight to sup
port I don't know that it makes any
difference whether person is tall or
short. There are number of other
things which tend 10 make rope climb
ing easier. and confidence is one OF
them. Women who are timid are not
as successful as those who are not,
though they may overcome that"

stands at the Head of Thirty-seyen
Thousand Puplls-The Chinese School
Examination Reveals Some Astonish-
ing Facts.

There is a public school of Chinese
pupils in San Francisco. and it has just
made itself felt with something OF
Jolt in the understanding of the great
white men who make the educational
wheels go round in the ''yelly big CITY,"
At the recent examinations this school
Ct Celestial youngsters reached high
er percentage than any other public
school having no grade higher than the
seventh The percentage was 100. One
of its pupils. Wong Book Yue, attained
higher percentage than any other
pupil Of any grade or color in the city.
The highest average of any white stu
dent was made by Robert Dougherty
OF the ninth grade of the Mission
Grammar School. He got through
with "a per cent, or 3 per cent less
than was attained by Wong Book Yue,
who is just promoted from the seventh
to Jhe eighth grade. There were sew
eral of Wong Book Yue's classmates
who gained as high percentage as
Robert Dougherty. the highest white
boy. The seventh grade Of the Chinese
school ran from s4 to 81, remarkably
high average. In the fourth grade
primary an individual percentage OF
80 was attained, while no pupil ran
lower than 50. In some OF the white

grades pupils ran as low as zero, while
one entire grade averaged only 16.
Whether it Is more dif1cult for a ninth
grade pupil to reach 81 per cent than
for . seventh grade pupil to reach "a.
depends. of course. upon the relative
severity Of their respective studies, as.
for instance, whether 1t is harder for a
15-year-old boy to learn multiplication
than for 13-year-old to learn addi-
ton. Assuming the most logical the
ory. that each Is given work corre-
spending to his ability to grasp it, We
must give Wong Book Yue the credit
which the figures stand for, and call
him the top-notch pupil In the lists.
There Is daily attendance OF about
81 900 pupils in the San Francisco pub
lie schools. Wong Book Yue has. ap-
proximately. 36.999 compelltors. He
holds higher record than any. Is he
the superior OF them all in precocity?
Wong Book Yues school Is one of those
unique places in the city which not
even the old residents, who think they
have seen everything OF interest that
is to be found here, have ever discov
cred. 1t is a familiar fact that San
Francisco contains many such odd
corners, which no one seems to know
the location Of when eastern friends
are to be entertained with sightseeing.
The Chinese public school is one OF the
Eaost interesting Of them all and prob
ably quite the most novel to a stranger
taking survey of our city. 1t is pre-
sided over by Miss Rose Thayer, who
is assisted by five associate teachers.
There are Ave grades in the school.

is attracted by the unusual features OF
the Chinese school to the extent of
having formed some speculative ideas
upon its effect in local education. He
thinks that the ladies' Of the school are
doing great work. He does not know
in what degree to compare their pupils
with the white pupils whom the other
teachers of the city are given charge OF,
for. as he says, there are many circum-
stances which make the instructing OF
Chinese children very different mat
ter from that of teaching the white

Crisis in the Clxaret Trade.

In 1889 the total production OF cigar
cts in the United States was 2.1o. 100. =
900. For the next eight years there
was steady increase in the number
produced. In 1897 1t reached the as
tonishing total of 4.O63. 100000. Then
came the agitation against cigarets.
and the tax was advanced from so
cents to $3.50 thousand. The effect
was that in the fiscal year ending June
30. 1899. only 3,735, 100000 cigarets
were made. In spite OF this fact the
expectation Of American cigarets has
steadily increased. In 1889 the total
taxes paid on cigarets amounted to
&4.203 900. an increase OF ;6lO, 900 over
