The New English Field Gun.

1t will be remembered that not so very
long ago an effort was made to raise a
scandal over the reported possession by
our war department of the plans of the
new and very successful French field
gun. England has just adopted a new
field gun and no secret is made Of the
fact that it is practically the French
weapon, slightly changed to meet oil
ferent conditions. Two French guns
were the models. The new gun has tho

Dear Sir: You buy your horseshoes
and nails; you grandfather. if he was
a blacksmith, made EN-. You can't
afford to hammer them out by hand,
when you can buy as good or better,
perhaps, ~readymade to you hand. for
a little more than the cost of the iron.
What do you think of a painter who
goes on buying his linseed oil and
whitehead, and mixing, and tinting by
hand, and charging his time for work
that is far better-done than he can do
it, done by machinery, done as you
horeshoes and nails are made.
Mistake isn't it?
He is wasting his chance in the world
There is no better stuff to do business
with than good horseshoes and paint,
and 10 better work than putting
them on. Goo horseshoes we'll put on.
It's the putting'em on that makes you
a blacksmith: nc matter who makes
'em.
Who wants 20 go back to old times.
and make his own hOrSeshoeS?
Between us two, that painter don't
know how to max good paint-he
used to; bit paint has run away from
him.
