But Yet n Woman.

Mrs. Paul of the street cleaning de-
partment of Chicago has been distin-
gushing herself again. At the close of
the great carnival and parade the
crowds left on the streets at midnight
a million or more newspapers, which
they had used as cushions in windows.
and upon pavements were hundreds OF
boxes and barrels and billions of scraps
of paper which had been torn up in
high offices and scattered into the
crowds below. At noon the following
day the streets were practically clean,
and before dark they had been swept
carefully. Mrs. Paul. in charge of the
down town district, put her men to
work at o'clock in the morning pick
ing up the boxes, broken boards and
paper which Uttered the street She had
% wagons and IS carts, operated by TO
men, and she succeeded not only in
making the streets presentable for the
early morning crowds, but in having
the streets swept during the day by
men with brooms. BY nightfali the
city was clean, in spite of the immense
mass of debris which had been carried
into it by the crowds of the day before.

Does 1t Pay to Buy Cheap

A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is all right, but you want some
thing that will relieve and cure the
more severe and dangerous results of
throat and lung troubles. What shall
you do? Go to warmer and more
regular climate? Yes, if possible; if
not possible for you, then in either
case take the only remedy that has
been introduced in all civilized coun-
tries with success in severe throat and
lung troubles, "Boschee's German
Syrup" 1t not only heals and slim
ulates the tissues to destroy the germ
disease, but allays Inflammation,
causes easy expectoration, gives a

General Otis, as has been said, has
four batteries of the 80 inch guns, and
nine more batteries are being shipped
to him. Brigadier General Flagler, in
his last report as chief of ordnance,
said of this piece: AT the time the
present 80 inch field gun was designed
and introduced into service, some Is
yenrs ago, it was thought to meet all
essential requirements and was proved
to be, in fact, fully equal to the best
field gun extant at that period Since
that time, however, the introduction Of
smokeless powder and some improve
ments in the construction Of the gun
and its carriage have made ii practica.

OF this piece without sacrificing req
uisite mobility"
Ever since the European armies be-
gan discarding their old fleldpieces our
ordnance bureau has been trying to
make modern gun out of the old 80
inch gun, but while our army is still
using this antiquated gun all the great
armies of Europe have the new artil-
lery. The Vickers- Maxim inch field
gun develops muszle velocity of 2,7OO
foot seconds, a muzzle energy Of 632
foot tons and fires from 10 to 20 high
explosive shells minute. The best gun
we have in the Philippines, although
Of slightly greater caliber, develops
a velocity Of only 1,6S5 foot seconds,
a muzzle energy Of only 265.7 foot tons
and does well il it fires one shell min
ute. A muzzle loader of 1861 compares
better with our present army field gun
than does the latter with the new artil-
lery we got from England.
With the English guns now on the
Pacific are shells of all kinds, includ-
ing shrapnel and high explosive shells.
There isn't a high explosive shell in
the Philippines today. The shrapnel
projectile the same as the British are
using in South Africa, will be terror
to the rebels in the Philippines. The
shell is filled with nearly 300 lead
balls. When the shell Is fired, It's fuse
is so timed as to explode the shell just
in front Of the enemy. The bullets
shoot forward, leaden rain. A dozen
Of these shrapnel shells bursting over
