In the dismal tenement, life esa.sa
becomes as gray and blank as the
grimy walls. There the simplest orna-
ment, the commonest reminder Of the
commandment that we must not live
by bread alone. often gives more COM
fort to the very poor than the food or
money which charity supplies. The
author of "a Ten Years War" gives
this picture Of one Of his battles IN the
slums:
The stuffy rooms of some of the ten
ements seem as il they were made for
dwarfs. Most decidedly there is not
room to swing the proverbial cat in
any n of them.
In n l helped the children last hol-
iday to set up a Christmas treet, SO
that a glimmer of something not ut
terly sordid and mean might for once
enter their lives.
Three weeks later / found the tree
standing yet in the corner. 1t was
very cold, and there was no fire in the
room. 1--WE were. going to burn it,
said the little woman, whose husband
was in the insane asylum, "and then |
couldn't. 1t looked so kind O. CHEEKY
like there in the corner"
My tree had borne the fruit I wished.

Commercial Value of the shark.

believe that it's carcass is highly
valued for commercial purposes" oh
served a leather dealer in New York
City to a writer recently. but as a
matter of fact thousands of sharks
are annually caught in West Indian and
South American waters and shipped
to this city, where, in factories,
the skins are cut up and dried and
sold at from So to Sc each, according
to size. The drying process makes the
skins as hard as adamant and as
smooth as mother of pearl. The ma
terial is known as 'shagreen,' and is
used mostly for making whip handles
and for covering instrument cases. 1t
is also used by cabinetmakers for pol
fishing fine woods. The fins are made

Training Gunners in the Navy,

The method used in the United
States navy for the economical train
ing of the gunners is very interesting.
1t is a well known fact that the cost
of firing of the guns used in the
navy is very great, amounting some
times to $1,000 or more. To save this
expense a very simple method is EN-
plOyed. In the case of the large guns
an ordinary Remington rifle is secured
in the breech Of the gun and directly
in the center of the bore, SO that when
1t is fired it's bullet takes the same
direction as that Of the regular pro-
jectile. The large gun is sighted in
the usual manner. On account of
the lesser velocity of the small bullet
the target is placed close to the ship
and is made correspondingly small.
The method used for the six-pounder
or other small guns is slightly different,
as instead of the small rife a wooden
or dummy cartridge, the same size
as the regular cartridge, is employed.
Through the center of this wooden
cartridge runs a rifle barrel which is
loaded with a forty-four caliber car
fridge. This latter method has the ad-
ditional advantage of giving the gun
crew practice in loading as well as
iring.-Washington Star.
