strain, and the weapon was never
tested in actual warfare. The can
non is made of cast iron, says the
Scientific American, and was nodded
at one OF the local foundries. 1t is
of three-inch caliber, having di-
ameter across the muzzles OF eight
inches, and across the barrels of -
inches, while it is So inches in length
1t is provided with what is Familiarity
known as n "touchhole" in the
brecch, connecting with both barrels
so that it could be discharged by ig-
hitting fuse if desired. The idea of
the inventor was to connect the balls
by chain several feet in length, the
ends of the chain being fastened into
each by staples. Chain-shot was
often used in naval battles to car
ry away the rigging of an enemy.
1t was discharged once after being
built, but unfortunately one barrel
for some reason did not "go Off"
The force OF. the explosion of the
other barrel tore the chain from the
ball which remained, and gave
curved motion to the proiectile. AS
result of this accident, it was con-
sidered too dangerous to adopt for
use, and was stored away, finally
being discovered only few years
ago in shed. It was then mounted
upon its present carriage and placed
in the park for an ornament.

ANNUAL CATHOLIC FESTIVAL.
Many Pensioners View for First Time
The New Convent in Harrington.
p, N REMINDS US OF POSTAL LAW.

The annual Catholic festival, held
last Thursday evening on the church
campus, proved a financial and So
cial success. In point of attend
ance it was probably the largest
ever held here. Many Catholics
living in Ste. Geneyieve county
took advantage of the opportunity
to travel over the new Southern
Missouri railroad and attended.
The strong box, when opened,
contained between four hundred
and fifty and five hundred dollars
above expenses. This fund will
be applied to the payment for the
new convent recently erected.
A number of valuable articles,
among them diamond ring, were
rafiled off. Postmaster Doughty,
anticipating that the local newspa-
pers would publish a list of the
prizes and the names of the lucky
ones who drew them, called their
attention to section 499 of the u.
s. Postal Law, enacted for the sup
preston of lotteries, which is as
follows: ....... .-.
"Nor shall any newspaper or publ.
cati,n of any kind containing any list
of prizes awarded ut the drawing of
any lottery or gift enterprise of any
kind dependent upon lot or chance, OF
containing any list of prizes awarded
in the drawing, be carried in the mail
or delivered by any postmaster or let
ter carrier. Any person who shall
knowingly deposit, or who Shal send
or cause 10 be sent, anything to be
conveyed or delivered by mail in viola
ton of this section, or who shall know
ingly cause to be delivered by mail any
thing herein forbidden to be carried by
mail, shall be deemed guilty of n mis-
dcmeanor, aud on conviction shall be
punished by fine of not more than
$500, or for imprisonment for not
more than one year, or by both sucb
line and imprisonment for such Of
fcuse."
In view of the above law, we
naturally refrain from publishing
the list of prizes awarded and the
names of the winners.

dishes. most OF which are unhealthful
