Novel Twin Cannon.

Military experts speak in high praise
of the twin cannon which has just
been constructed in Germany. The
two pieces can be fired from single
carriage, and thus they occupy far
less space than two separate pieces
would occupy. Moreover, they can be
fired with extreme rapidity, and either
singly or at the same time, as may
be desired. Lieut.-Colonel Delaney, a

GRENADA, MISS, DECEMBER S, 1903:
EGGS AND DIVORCES.

One Mrs. Sarah Rorer, who seems
to be something OF a screamer as a
philosopher, imparts the rather start
ling information that eggs are divorce
producers and should be banished
from the breakfast menu. She de-
clares that ikfewer women ate eggs
there would be fewer cases of divorce.
She contends that eggs make a person
lazy and women who eat them neglect
all their household duties, fail to re-
pair the scat of their husbands trous-
ers and to sew buttons on his shirt.
This makes the lord of the manor
angry and dissatisfied. There are
rows in the end the apparently inno-
cent egg matches out a divorce suit.
Mrs. Rorer also informs us that to
a woman who has no housewOrk to do
eggs are just as pernicious, because
the social leader who OverindulgeS
in the fruit OF the hen loses her
| brightness of eye, her piquancy and
charm. Finally her husband loses
interest in her and then comes the
divorce lawyers. II half of what Mrs.
Rorer says be true women should put
eggs under the barn or hen and let
them remain there until they have
in regular and orderly process hatched
out chicken. There is no divorce
case in young and tender ''broiler,'
but on the contrary it brings sunshine
and happiness into the home. A wife
who has broiled chicken for herself
and husband at breakfast need never
fear that she will lose his affection or
become divorced woman. The sweet
and juicy chicken will bind him to
her like a hook of steel, and every
time he finishes his morning meal he
will rise up and call her blessed. But
hearken unto Mrs. Rorer and beware
of the baneful influence OF the egg.

Fear that the New York State will
go Democratic in the next election is
written ON the cOuntenance OF every
Republican politician. The victory
OF Mcclellan in Manhattan and Brook
lyn, in spite OF so many Democratic
votes against him, indicates that
when the full party strength is enlist
ed, New York City may easily roll up
majority Of 1000 for a conserva-
tive Democratic candidate. To over
come such odds the Republican leaders
will have the struggle Of their lives:
for Odell carried the State for Cover
nor by less than 5000. These facts
alone are enough to account for the
eager buzzings in the corridors of the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, and an anxious
look on every face in the Amen Cor
ner.-New York Evening Post.

II long expedition in Africa He started
from the French port of Djibouti, tray
ellcd inland to Addis-Ababa. the capital
of King Menelik, then on to the great
brackish Lake Rudolf. and finally to
Lamu, on the Indian ocean. 1t was a
very fruitful journey and the best fea-
ture OF it was the fine map he brought
home of his entire itinerary.
Count Wickenburg had with him two
pedometers, which counted his foot
steps for him, and he was thus saved
the labor which DR.. Junker underwent
when he walked 400 miles into the
depths of Africa and had to count ev-
cry step himself. Wickenburg asccr-
tanned very carefully the average length
Of his steps. One thousand steps were
represented on the map by a line Il little
over u third of an inch in length. Ev-
cry mile he walked added about an
inch to his route on the map.
