An Ancient EdiCt

Many of the laws of medieval times
were very curious. At first cases were
decided by combat, and it was long
while before the jury system came in
to use. In those days punishment was
very dlsproportionate to the crime.
During the reign of King Edward ",
of England, young girl of Yorkshire
was wooed by two lovers. the one a
young farmer of her own rank. the 9TH
er the prOfligate son of wealthy mer-
chant. Robert Dangerfield the farmer,
held the principal place in Marjory's
affections, but Tom Ricketts,. the mer-
chants son, being heir to great wealth,
was a rival to be dreaded. Ricketts,
was a great rascal and at first never
intended to marry the girl. but Mar
jory was we'll able to take care of her.
self. and the young scapegrace soon
discovered that he could only have
her. if at ALL after legitimate wedding
ceremony. AS soon as he came into
this condition Marjory. possibly in ord
er to tantalize him. declared that she
intended. after all. to we'd Robert Dang
erfeld.
Ricketts, by this time was madly in
love and ready to commit any crime

stole a sheep from one of his fathers
tenants. carried it to the cottage of
his rival and tethered it to the door.

which. with the simple faith of that
day, he considered gift sent him
from heaven. Tom Ricketts, told the
owner he had seen this animal in the
possession of Dangerfeld. The young
farmer was arrested and thrown into
prison on a charge of sheep stealing.
Then Ricketts, rode to the home OF
Marjory to tell her the news:
"Dangerfield has been sheep stealing
He is in prison and will be tried and
hanged. Do not waste more time,

knew that Ricketts, was in earnest but
she distrusted him. Furthermore. she
had a will of her own and usually took

The Henrichenburg Canal Lock.

A novel and unusually powerful
elevator for lifting canal boats and
barges from one level to another is
situated at Henrichenburg, on the
Dortmund- Ems Canal, in Germany. 1t
is capable OF lifting a canal boat OF
800 tons burden a distance of about
fifty-two feet in slightly over two
minutes. The elevator itself, that is
the trough in which the boat floats,
is about 229 feet long and twenty-eight
feet wide. 1t is raised by 150-horse-
power electric motor, which rotates
four vertical threaded shafts, one at
each corner of the lift, and on each OF
which is a threaded travelling block
supporting the trough. AS these shafts
are turned around by the motor the
four blocks are drawn up along the
threads, and carry the elevator along
with them. Five floats in tank be-
meath the lock on which the elevator
rests balance the weight of the trough
and the water it contains, amounting
in all to some 5000 or 1000 tons, so that
the energy expended in raising and
lowering is little more than that re-
quired to overcome the friction. The
lock-gates are operated by electric mo-
tors. The electric generating plant is
situated alongside the lock on the canal
bank.

The Paper of To-Day.

Only paper of the very best quality

We're at one time supposed to be of no

paper maker. Spruce is the wood now
generally used in making paper pulp,

Canada, which is only waiting for rail-

BIG BORE RIFLES AND SMALL:
The Small IL No Doubt Better For All.
Round Purposes.

The old dispute between big bores
and small bores is meaningless now,
because the most killing guns are the
high velocity nitro guns, which are
all small bore compared with the blacl,
powder guns. The best all-round rifle
is now the thirty-calibre nitro, not be-
cause it will do all that is claimed for
it, but because it makes so much flat
ter line to everything within reason
able distance than any black powder
gun can do. The ball goes too much
to pieces on some shots, and all that
1 have tried throw ten per cent. of
balls wild, five slightly wild and five
badly so. But the swiftness of the
ball overbalances the other defects.
An all-round rifle is almost impossible,
and some sacrifice must be made.
Sacrifice for fiat trajectory is not al
ways sacrifice of accuracy, but often
one in favor Of it. Between seventy
five and two hundred yards, the place
where most shots on open ground fall,
no black powder gun small enough to
be carried with comfort can make
up in accuracy what it loses in curve
of trajectory as compared with the
thirty -calibre nitro rifle. 7 refer to the
high velocity shell and not the smoke
less cartridges of the same strength
as black powder. The soft-nosed bullet
driven with the high power nitro is
the most killing form in which a ball
of equal diameter can be made for all
round work. Those of copper or steel
do not make large enough hole for
most shots on the softer parts of the
body.-From Handling the Rife on

NOT DUE TO CLIMATE.


Catarrh is at home anywhere and ev-
erywhere. While more common in cold,
changeable climates, it is by no means
confined to them, but is prevalent in
every state and territory in the union.
The common definition of catarrh is
chronic cold in the head, which if long
neglected often destroys the sense of
smell and hearing: but there are many
other forms of the disease, even more
obstinate and dangerous.
Catarrh of the throat and bronchial
tubes as we'll as catarrh of the stomach
and liver are almost as common as ma
sal catarrh and generally more diff
cult to cure.
Catarrh is undoubtedly a blood dis
ease and can only be successfully eradi-
Gated by an internal treatment. Sprays,
washes and powders are useless as far
as reaching the real seat of the dis
ease is concerned.
DR.. McIverney advises catarrh suf-
ferers to use a new preparation, sold
by druggists, called Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, because actual analysis has
shown these tablets to contain certain
anti-septic- qualities of the highest value
and being an internal remedy, pleasant
to the taste, convenient and harmless,
can be used as freely as required, as
we'll for children as for adults.
An attorney and public speaker. who
had been a catarrh sufferer for years,
says:
Every fall 1 would catch a cold,
which would settle in my head and
throat and hang on all winter long and
every winter it seemed to get a little
worse. 1 was continually clearing my
throat and my voice became effected to
such an extent as to interfere with my
public speaking.
II tried troches and cheap cough
cures, and sometimes got relief, but
only for a short time, until this Win
ter when l learned of the new catarrh
cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, through
a newspaper advertisement. Two fifty
cent boxes, which bought at nay drug
gist's, cleared, my head and throat in
fine shape, and to. guard against a re-
turn of my trouble l keep a box of the
tablets on hand, and whenever / catch
a little cold / take tablet or two and
ward off any serious developments.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets deserves to
head. the list as a household remedy, to
check and break up coughs and colds.
because unlike many other catarrh and
cough cures these tablets contain no
opiate, cocaine or any injurious drug.

THE LIGHT. HOUSE
AT SAND KEY
Uncle Sans New Weather Station at the Door
of the Gulf

Seamen visiting this port and fire.
quently South American and Gulf
ports, are gratified at the opening of
the new cable from Sand Key, seven
miles south of Key West, over to the
island OF that name, for in the future
their vessels can be properly reported
to the mainland when entering or leav-
ing the Gulf, greatly facilitating their
business and position at sea.
This cable was completed Monday,
and while of short distance, it is of vast
Importance to the commercial world.
Vessels entering and leaving the Gulf
pass close to it on their route by the
Florida strait and will in the future
report there without trouble and in
convenience of going further to the
north and by Key West, which they
seldom do. The cable will also be of
great benefit to the world otherwise,
as it was established mainly for the
benefit of the Weather Bureau, which
proposes to erect a meteorological sta
ton there, in fact an appropriation has
already been made by Congress for the
erection of the station.
All Olu SEAMAN, III speaking yeSIeI-
day af Sand Key, said: Sand Key is
a mere spit of land hardly a quarter
of an acre in size. 1t is a part of the
Florida Reefs, and varies from the
thousands of other splits of the reefs
only in the fact that it is almost all
sand, instead of being of general coral
formation. 1t is an isolated place, but
is so located that 1t commands the en-
trance to the Gulf of Mexico, and as

to none, from the fact that the light
service there is of the first class order,
the light being more than 100 feet in
hight, and giving a view many miles
to sea. The reefs in and about this
coast for miles are very dangerous,
which makes the maintenance of a
light of the first order necessary"
Just how the reports of vessels to
the main land will be made is not known
now but it is more than probable they
will go into Key West to the Weather
Bureau office, which controls the
cable, instead of the telegraph office
and from there be distributed by other
wires to the whole country. 1t is also
said that the government will likely
establish a wireless telegraph station
at Sand Key for the purpose of speak
ing and communicating at a distance
with foreign going and returning YES
sells. This is not definite, but it is un-
der contemplation as the new station
will be one of the most important in
the world, and nothing will be left
undone OF lend to it's efficiency.
The government has already con-
tracted for the erection of the COM
bined station and residence for the
observer. 1t will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, which shows how Uncle
Sam will care for the additional man.
