MAKING \ TEAVY GUN.
Takes Longer Than tho Construction of
the Ship That Carries 1t.

Mr.. w. ]. Gordon sketches Wool
witch arsenal in the Leisure Hour.
Among a host of interesting descrip-
lions may be selected here what he
says about the making of a gun: I'm
their early stages these guns are UNI
expectedly long and slender things, ow-
ing TO their being without the coils
and Jackets that build them up to such
bulkiness. They look their longest
during their wiring, that modern proc
ess which enabled us to reduce the bulk
Of the gun so much that the podgy
Woolwich infants have developed into
graceful boys. There is something
like a bat-handle, the only difference
being that instead of waxed thread
you wind on thin fiat strip of steel
having a breaking strain of 100 tons
to the square inch and wind this on
in several layers instead of one. The
gun revolves in lathe as the cricket
bat does, but much more slowly, and
in place Of the wooden spool of thread
there stands, at right angles to it, a
huge iron reel, from which the riband
or wire, as it is called, which is about
quarter of an inch wide, is wound
on spirally at high tension, the spirals
being knocked up tight to each other
with q punch whenever they fail to
wind on closely together. The gun is
thus wrapped with literally miles OF
wire, mostly in the region of the pow
der chamber. Over the wire jacket
come the hoops Of cast steel cut out
of ingots as disks, and forged into
rings just trific smaller than the fin
ger they arc to fit; and when these
are finished they are one by one, for
there are many of them, heated just
enough TO expand them, and slipped
over the gun to shrink and grip it as
they cool, the gun being upright at the
time, with n stream of water flowing
through its bore to keep the tempera-
ture down. In this way wiring is all
hidden, and the gun looks as though It
were built up entirely of these mas
sive hoops, as it used to be. The lathe
work and other operations necessitated
by all this may be magined, and we
cease to wonder why it takes longe? to
make heavy gun than it does to build
the ship that carries II"

A MENAC!NG ASSURANCE.
;:ut 1t Was Not Meant In the Way the
Professor Understood 1t.

IEOteAbOf JnuerstOuu
81 had a peculiar case in court the
other day" said a lawyer. IAN old
Irishman named Callahan had got into
row with his landlord about some
repairs and refused to pay his rent.
The landlord was a fussy little ex-col-
lege professor, totally IMMERSED in the
ways of the world, and he was impru-
dent enough to send word that he
would have the family evlcted, and
then called to discuss 1t personally. He
emerged yelling 'Murder!' and said that
he had first met Mrs Callahan, who
told him her husband would do him
no harm, upon the strength OF which
he had waited for his return. When
Callahan came in he promptly gave
the visitor a beating. The old Irish
man and his wife were both arrested,
and l appeared for the defense. The
ugly feature Of the case was the al
legged effort OF the woman to lure her
caller INFO a trap, but when put on the
stand she denied the landlords story
in toto and swore point blank she had
warned him that her husband proposed
to punch his head. Both parties seemed
perfectly sincere in their statements,
and was somewhat puzzled. / finally
decided to cross-examine the ex-pro-
fessor. Now, repeat to u.s. said, 'ex-
actly what Mrs. Callahan told you in
regard to her husband She assured
me positively answered the landlord,
that he had no intention whatever of
molesting me- But she didn't say it
in those words, / insisted. What !

sir said the witness, beginning to get
clustered, she gave me to understand
- oh, never mind that in ter
rupted the judge, give us her own
words Very well, sir; very well, sir!
exclaimed the little landlord, desper-
ately. She said, when Mike comes
home he won't do a thing to you!"

he let the prisoners off with repri-
mand. New Orleans Times-Demo-

THE ROYAL HOSTESS.
German Emperor's Little Daughter Gives
a "Eive o'CIuc,S Tea"

German Emperor'S Little Daughter Gives
Five O'clock Tea"
Princess Victoria Luise, the only
daughter OF the German emperor and
empress, celebrated her return from
the mountains by entertaining all her
little friends at five o'clock" where
chocolate was served. and not tea.
There are so few little princes and
princesses of tender years that little
people of less exalted rank were includ-
ed among the invited guests. These
latter, little shy at their first intro
duction into imperial circles, were re-
ceived by the gracious hostess in such
an informal manner that they felt at
home at once. She has inherited house
wife capability from her charming
mamma, and she insisted upon dealing
out to each separate his or her share
Of cake and chocolate. AS each child
left it received as souvenir a package
Of chocolate, attached to which was a
small portrait of the fascinating little
imperial hostess. 1t was all a very
great success. She is not only beloved
by her father, mother and six brothers,
but the entire imperial household is at
her feet. This little sprite can do with
her father as she likes, and at the same
hour every morning she runs into his
study and delights him with her va
rious accomplishments from day to
day, such as a new verse In French,
German or English, or anything that
she thinks will please him. She is five
years old, very blonde. with expressive
blue eyes, and enjoys to the utmost
every moment of her until now I'M
clouded life. The mother and little
daughter are inseparable, and in this
way the little one has become quite a
traveller, and she has seen more lands
than many a grown person.

Silver for toilet table articles will
always hold its own. but ivory today
Is the most distinguished material OF
which brushes, combs, powder boxes
hand mirrors and the like can be made
1t is better for a person who is col
lecting the furniture for a dressing
table to put money gradually into fine
pieces OF ivory rather than silver. Ivory
of the best quality is steadily increas-
ing in value. Every year the num-
Der of elephants decreases. The time
is almost here when the ivory-bearlng
elephants of central Africa will be ex-
tinct. Collections of ivory now fetch
large prices. II is not surprising, there
fore, that ivory toilet articles should
be eagerly sought.

Paris has provided a fine site in the
American quarter, near the Trocadero
and the Arch Of Triumph, for the
equestrian statue of Washington. The
statue is to be unveiled July 8, on the

Cannibalism has broken out in the
Congo Free State. The Zappo Zap
tribe, employed as revenue officers OF
that country, having been sent out on
a somewhat questionable expedition to
collect rubber, ivory, slaves and goats,
as tribute to the sovereign authority,
burned fourteen villages, killed eighty
people and crowned their rapacious
proceedings by eating five of their
prisoners. The Congo Free State rul-
ers might find it to their advantage to
take lessons in revenue raising from
American municipal experts and learn
the civilized art of plucking but not
killing the goose that lays the golden
eggs.

It may, of course have been only a
coincidence, but it was still rather
curious that William Armstrong,
charged with bribery in Chicago rail-
road suit, should be defended in Wash
ington by one of the most prominent
of western railroad lawyers, and it was
also curious that the ex-bartender of
Chicago, a man OF presumably but
little ready capital, should be able to
employ so expensive an attorney. Who
is putting up" for him?

Nathan Hale, when led to execution,
mourned because he had but one life
which he could sacrifice for his coun-
try. The Chicago employee who is dis
charged to reduce expenses cannot see
things as Hale saw them. He not only
regrets that he has to sacrifice his one
job for the sake of the city, but ferv-
emily wishes that he might hold two
positions and never be removed from
either.

When those old prophets point you to
q lazaretto, you understand it is a
lazaretto When man having begun
to do right falls back into wlckedness
and gives up his integrity, the Bible
does not say he was overcome by the
destinations of the festive board, or
that he surrendered to convivialities,
or that he became a little fast in his
habits. | will tell you what the Bible
says: THE dog is turned to his own
vomit again, and the SOW that was
washed to her wallowing in the mire. "
No gliding of iniQuity. No garlands on
a death's-head. No pounding away with
a silver mallet at iniquity when it
needs an iron sledge hammer.
| can easily understand how people,
brooding over the description of un-
cleanness in the Bible, may get morbid
in mind until they are as full of it as
the wings and beak and the nostril and
the claw of a buzzard is full of the
odors of carcass; but what is wanted
is not that the Bible be disinfected,
but that you, the critic. have your
mind and heart washed with carbolic
acid,
| tell you at this point in my dis
course that a man who does not like
this book, and who is critical as to its
contents, and who is shocked and out
rageI with it's descriptions. has never
been soundly converted. The laying
on of the hands of Presbytery or Epis-
copacy does not always change a mans
heart, and men sometimes get into
the pulpit as well as into the pew never
having been changed radically by the
sovereign grace of God. Get your
heart right and the Bible will be right.
The trouble is mems natures are not
brought into harmony with the Word
of God. All! my friends, expurga-
ton of the heart is what is wanted.
You cannot make me believe that the
Scriptures, which this moment lie or
the table of the purest and best men
and women of the age, and which were
the dying solace of your kindred pass
ed into the skies, have in them faint
which the strongest microscope of hon
est criticism could make visible. II men
are uncomfortable in their Indignation
when the integrity of wife or child
is assailed, and judges and Jurors as
far as possible excuse violence under
such provocation, what ought to be the
Overwhelming and long resounding
thunders of condemnation for any man
who will stand in a Christian pulpit
and assail tho more than virgin purity
Of inspiration, the well beloved daugh-
ter OF Lod?
EXpurgate the Bible! You might as
well so to the old picture galleries in
Dresden and in Venice and in Rome
and eXpurgate the old paintings Per-
haps you could find foot of Michael
Angeles Last Judgment" that might
be improved. Perhaps you could throw
more expression into Raphael's Ma
donna" Perhaps you could put more
pathos into Reubens' Descent from
the Cross" Perhaps you could change
the crests of the waves in Turner's
slave Ship" Perhaps you might go
into the old galleries of sculpture and
change the forms and the posture OF
the statues of Phidias and Praxiteles.
Such an iconoclast would very soon
find himself in the penitentiary. But
it is worse vandalism when a man pro-
poses to refashion these masterpieces
Of inspiration and to remodel the moral
giants Of this gallery of God.

A farmer in Paxton, Worcester Co.,
Mass, who settled upon an abandoned
farm about two years ago, is reported
to have raised on eight acres this year
$500 bushels of potatoes, $4,000 GU
cumbers-the latter from a single acre
800 barrels of cabbages, 700 bushels
of tomatoes, $50 barrels of carrots, 600
bushels of parsnips, LOO bushels OF
turnips, 400 bushels of beets and 1 100
heads of cauliflower, besides squashes
and some other truck ad libitum, and
all the vegetables used by the family
OF course it is presumed that these
products were marketed at profit,
and, that being the case, 1t is easy to
see why many of New England's
abandoned farms are being reclaimed.
The astounding proposition has been
made that postage stamps be abol-

bacco and other luxuries. The propo-
sition will meet with great opposition
