nearly $4,000, 900 shots were fired, with
a resulting loss of life amounting to
less than 100, 900, or one soldier killed

The most priced autographs in the
world are those of Shakespeare. Only
seven are claimed to exist, three sig
natures to his will leach with differ
ent spelling), two to conveyances of
property, one in the folio edition of his
plays (doubtful and one in Tudor
translation of Montague. This last
is in the British museum, and cost over
1000 guineas. One thousand guineas
was the price given by the late Mr.. AL
fred Morrison, of Carlton House ter
race, for an autograph letter written by
Marie Stuart to TIE archbishop of
Guise. This and two other letters Zone
10 the pope and the other to the king
of France) were written by the unfor-
tunate Queen of Scots on the morning
of her execution. The letter to the
French king was destroyed during the
days of the terror, while that to the
pope is still preserved at the Vatican.
The well-known bookseller, Bernard
Quaritch, gave 6 1000 for an autograph
of Columbus, which was exhibited at
the worlds fair at Chicago. A Chicago
autograph dealer is said to have offered
to give 100000, or over G 10000, for a
genuine autograph of Shakespeare if
brought to him within year of making
his offer. 1t was safe bluff, for since

Ability to Guess by Ounces Is One of
the Accomplishments of
Most Butchers.

1t is his business, of course, and he
becomes expert at it, as man might
in any work, but the customer who pays
any attention to it at all is sure to be
interested, nevertheless, in the ac-
curacy with which the butcher cuts off
just the required amount of meat.
Whether it is two pounds of steak, or
four pounds of chops, or six pounds of
corned beef, it's all the same to him.
He cuts without long dwelling upon
where to set the knives. He slices away
sort of casual like and plies the saw,
and lays the meat on the scales, and it
does not vary more than quarter or a
half pound from the weight required,
on even the heaviest piece, and on the
lighter pieces he comes within an ounce
or two, or hits it right on the nail.
A man, for instance, goes into a
butcher shop and asks for three and a
half or four pounds of, say, corn beef.
The butcher gets big piece out of the
pickle, lays it on block, and picks up
knife, and, without the slightest
hesitation, with one strong, smooth
sweep, cuts of piece, which he lays on
the scales. 1t weighs three pounds and
three-quarters; it is in weight exactly
midway between the limits set.
The expert butcher gets his ability to
do this naturally enough, from good
judgment to start with, backed up by
long experience, but when he cuts
things as close as this, even the Gus
toner familiar with his skill looks upon
his as a wizard. = Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

How the Shells Are Made-The Boers
 Have Low Opinion of Them.
 One of the war correspondents of the
 Cape papers discourses on lyddte. He
 has seen the effect of this wonderful explosive, and is much impressed. He
 says: "Lyddite is form of picric acid, which has been melted and al- lowed to solidify, thereby becoming
 denser. Melnite recently introduced into the French army, is also another form of picric acid. The history of picric acid is remarkable as illustrating how great discoveries may result from accident Picric acid was discovered in 1771, and for more than a century it was used as a dye for silk. wool and leather without it's explosive qualities being suspected. About 1889, however a fire occurred at a chemical works in Manchester and spread to shed con- taining this acid. Being melted by the heat the acid flowed until it came into contact with quantity of litharge slowed in the same building. A ter rife explosion followed, and subse- quently investigation revealed the fact that under certain conditions picric acid behaves as a very powerful explosive. With regard to the manufacture, and the manner in which this body is caused ito liberate it's explosive power, pure carbolic acid is placed in a vessel with an equal amount of oil of vitriol (sul- phuric acid) and the temperature raised to the boiling point of water Strong nitric acid is then allowed to flow into the mixture, after which the whole is, cooled, leaving a solid mass of yellow crystals within the vessels. The crystals are filtered and drained, and washed with cold water, | when the residue is pure picric acid 1 This is then melted by gentle heating | and poured into the interior of the shell

| influence of applied science may be rec ognized. We perform nowadays much
 of our scouting by balloons, and trans init the result of observations obtained
 from an altitude and supplemented by the aid of f1eld-glasses to troops advanc- ing or operating on the field of battle. The best telescopes and an abundance of field-glasses are always in requisit- ion; the latter may be said to form an
 essential in the list of personal field equipment. By means of wireless tela-
 graphy and with the aid of kites, con-
 munication has been successfully estab-
 lished between various stations occu-
 pied by the British troops in the theatre of war in Africa ~
 As regards our sanitary and medical
 services, a stricter application of the
 rules of practical hygiene has been
 attended by remarkable progressive
 improvement in the health of our sol diers in the field in the successive expe-
 ditions which have taken place since the time of the Crimean war. Infective wound diseases, which used in past
 times to prove veritable scourge among our wounded in military hos pitals, have been practically banished from them by universal and serupulous attention to cleanliness, by the rigid use of antiseptic dressings in wounds and injuries. and by the performance of all operations upon patients under anaes- while the use of the Rontgen rays has enabled us to detect the pres ence and exact site of any missile or foreign body The various ingenious probes for the detection of bullets em- bedded in the tissues are no longer seen in military surgery, but have been rele- gated to the surgical museum among other relics of past art. And these are only few of the innovations for which applied science is esponsible.-London Lancet

| Chinese were monotheists, and had a religion that compared favorably with
 any today; but, like other religions, it | fell into decadence.
 Tt is true that most of our people
 are pagans; they have their devils, evil spirits and their gods of every profess | ion, and propitiate them according to the best of their belief, and the fifteen large temples ink San Francisco tell the story; but how Few understand them. Ten were erected by the reverent Chinese, in honor of ancient worthies who were worshipped after the fashion of the Emperor Ming; kings, emperors politicians or statesmen, or brave SOL diers. In America. the temples, for req sons of economy, are outwardly very tame. The sect hires building, and pays no attention to the outside, but fills the interior with as costly material as can be found in China. Of all the temples, perhaps that of Kwan Kung is the most interesting to the American. It is the headquarters of the Ming Yeung Company-the richest guild of all the Chinese Americans and they have spent nearly $200,000 on it so far. I re-

On the staircase will be noticed thousands of red slips. I have heard Americans say that they were the covers of firecrackers, but really they are the contributions, the donations of the people to the church and represent hundreds of dollars in many cases In American churches you have memorial windows and tables; here you see beautiful arch, or gateway given by the Lee family; and when I tell you that book of four hundred pages has been written describing its beauties, it's meaning and it's artistic values, you can form some idea of it.

Chinamen are like other people-there are good and bad-but I firmly believe that the good predominates We are all classed as heathens pagans; but I am a Christian Chinaman and a clergyman in the Methodist Episcopal Church. The Americans also judge us by the people here and the number of pagan temples in all large cities, and perhaps it is not surprising. The great masses of the Chineses come from Canton they were imported to do the lowest and most arduous labor, consequently, you can hardly judge the Chinese nation by them The cultivated people, the edu- cated men, do not leave their country.
