Found his Brother.

On the 18th of May, 1881, George
Remington, a brother Of Peter Hem
ingt IN, of Galcsburg, Mich, enlisted
in the regular army and disappeared.
Persistent inquiry failed to discover
his whereabouts, the only fact to be
ascertaincd being that of his dis
charge for disability soon after his
enlistment
Three months since Peter was in
Kalamazoo, where by chance he took
in an exhibition of which a phono-
graph formed a part. Among other
features was fragment from the play,
'.'The Three Guardsmcn," during the
rendering Of which one Of the char
actcrs developed peculiar and scarce
ly noticeable stammer. Upon the re-
quest Of Mr.. Remington this part was
repeated, and that gentleman became
convinced that it was the voice of his
long absent brother, who had pre-
cisely similar impediment in his
speech. Since the above occurrence
the clue has been persistently follow
ed, and few days ogo the two broth
crs were reunited after nineteen years.

Testing Riaa HnEre1s.

A rifle barrel held in wise vii! not

bullet through the bore expands the
barrel, which is to q certain degree
elastic. The expansion and return to
normal status are in undulating curves.
The pressure Of the wise interrupts the
curves, chokes the barrel Mt the point
OF pressure and probably deforms the
bullet In Its cross section. To test a
rifle rest the barrel near the muzzle

Of the barrel from the rest will cause

Her Graciouaneaa.

She was one Of those dear, sweet,
simple, confding souls-the sort Of wo-
man you like once for what she is and
twice for the superior being she makes
you feel you are-and she came into
drug store where was. a girl Of the
fluffy type was with her. The sweet
soul tripped up to the proprietor Of the
establishment and in the most appeal
ing voice asked If she might be permit
ted to look at the city directory. or
course. the druggist laid it before her
with a flourish. She thanked him ef-
fusively, and then she and the fluffy
girl bent above it for an absorbed
quarter Of an hour. Having found
what they sought, they closed the book
and were about to leave the shop when
the grateful heart Of the sweet crea-
ture prompted her to pause
"Oh. Alice" she said, "E .eaiiy must
buy something before we 60. It isn't
right to put the man to all that trouble
and use his directory and all and then
not buy anything. Wait just min
ute."
Clearly she had. seen her duty and
meant to do it. Back she stepped to
