Pig In rrsss Branches.

In many of the western and midland
counties OF England the nineteenth
century closed with the most terrible
floods within living memory. Happily
few lives were lost, but hundreds OF
folk-mostly poor-were washed out OF
hearth and home. Farmers, small and
great. lost cattle, sheep and poultry.
and Immense damage was done to all
kinds of property. One comic incident
was remarked at Alcester. in Worces-
tershire. When the water fell the rec
tor took his walks abroad to see what
loss he had suffered. AS he passed
through IN orchard he was greeted
with the piercing squeals Of a per-
picked pig. which had got mixed up
in the boughs Of a damson tree. Prob
ably 1t had been borne into the
branches by the rising food. When
the waters went down 1t was left high,
and possibly dry. but terrified out OF Its

The souvenir spoon fad had its origin
in Washington, ID. c., and so, too, the
souvenir cup In its present form, seems
to have first appeared in that city a
few months age. 1t has now extended
to other cities. In Washington the
cups became a fad because that is a

New York firms, who cain to have
control. for this country, of all manu-
features of the metal employed In this
form. But IL the demand expands and
develops into a general fad there Is
every reason to expect American
manufacturers to enter into competi-
ton with he German houses that now
have the monopoly. The metal used
is the new Kayser linn metal. which
has come into demand lately for vari-
u uses, and the cups are sold either
in their natural condition or silver
plate inside and outside, or silver plate
outside and gold lined. The popular
shape is that of a white tumbler three
and a half inches high by two and
three-eighths inches in diameter at
the top and one and f~ve-eighths
inches at the bottom. There are other
more fancy shapes, such as a small
German beer stein and a small thin
goblet eight or nine inches high. On
the sides are local designs which give
the cups their souvenir significance.

terest as though she were at a matinee.

the weakness Of his chest. He was q
very puny young man, indeed. Doc
tor" he said, II want to get fat. 1
want to resemble a man rather than q

suit without shame" The physician
answered: Rise at Z o'clock and exer-
else an hour with chest weights and
Indian clubs. Then take a cold bath
and breakfast without coffee or tea.
During the day contrive, somehow, to
get a two hours walk, and sleep at
least nine hours a night. Don't smoke.
II you follow these directions you'll
gain ten pounds in a month" After
the thin young man had gone a fat

said. make me thin. Take Off most
OF this too solid flesh. Let me wear

doctor prescribed: Rise at Z o'clock
and exercise al hour. Then take a

coffee or sweets. Get a two hours
walk during the day, and sleep at least
nine hours every night. You'll lose ten
pounds a month IL you obey me-" The

/ Necessarily the quality OF the metal
employed In the manufacture OF the
huge guns, constituting the armament
of our great warships, Is a mattSr OF
first Importance, and the materials are
subjected to the highest tests known
TO science. As a result OF the great
care required In this respect, as well
as In the subsequent steps involved In
the development OF the finished pro-
duct, the cost of producing these guns
is very great.
Another large building Is devoted to
the building of gun carriages, especi-
ally designed to support the large guns
and a large force of machinists is en-
ployed to operate the great variety of
machinery employed In this branch of
the work.

machines are seen in operation here
