GUN-MAKING IN CHINA.
Every Form of Munition of War, from Rifles to Heavy Artillery,
 Made by Natives.

A correspondent of the Lahore Civil aud Military Gazette visited one of the Chinese arsenals and thus put down his impressions: Finally we were taken. among other places, to the great Chi nese arsenal some way beyond treaty limits, where every form of intuition of war, from rifles to 45-ton guns, was be- ing made. We wandered through a wilderness of factories, covering acres of ground, and were shown the whole were powder factories and other insti- tutions not far away which we had no time to visit That was, perhaps, the most significant experience of all. You may have seen gun factories before, but have you seen a place turning out great guns by the dozen, and machine guns by the hundred, perfect in design and construction, run, from coolie to head mandarin, entirely by Chinese, and with only a couple of Englishmen en- gagged solely in consultative supervision? Have you seen roomful of Chinese draughtsmen and designers in pigtails and blue gowns solemnly, stolidly and assiduously getting out the drawings for a new gun? It is sight that furnishes food for thought. And as you leave you ask yourself the question:: If these men can make guns, why may they not work them some day!'"

CAUSE OF BAD SPELLING.
Repetition the Only Secret of Learn. ing to Spell for Persons with
 Average Memories.

Probably it is mistake to say that any person with an average memory cannot learn to spell. As there is a lack of analogy in the spelling of words, learning to spell is chiefly a matter of memory. Repetition is the only secret about 1t, says the Philadel- phia Record. There are some aids, but it is the words to which there is no guide which are the common source of trouble. Persons who do not spell we'll have simply neglected the study of orthography and are not entitled to sympathy. Operators of typewriting machines who have considered them selves the victims of a defective or biographical memory have often be- tome good spoilers through practice.
 In a vast proportion of cases bad Ipelling may be traced to wrong pro- nunciation, which is even more fre- quent than is wrong spelling. Prob ably the modern methods of instruction have something to do with the number of bad spoilers among fairly educated people. The old spelling-bee system insured repetition. In recent years the writing of the spelling lesson has in many schools taken the place of the oral system. The men and women who had gone through the district school of half century or more ago were al- most invariably good spoilers. If, as the Evanston councilmen maintain, spelling be a gift, it is apparent that 1t Is not bestowed on man as literally as formerly.

STRANGE Mzlll FsTER'
c.,.,ern,. r..A.-n.i c.tehs. o.''- eus Fish weishi4g g 12s Pounds
 with Rod ahd Reel,

Edward Llewellyn, a cornet soloist of he Catalina Island band. is a most en. thusiastic and picturesque angler.
 Recently he made the record Jewish catch, one weighing 425 pounds; the oth- rr morning he though he would inscribe the tuna record also on his diadem, and taking the Catalina hiked out after the biggest specimens of the tiger-fish to be taken. He had uncorked but small pof- ton of his stock of patience when his reel began to whizz.
 And then 1t whizzed. By consummate skill Llewellyn prevented the fish from getting away in the first grand rushes, and then he began on the aggressive For an hour and 21 minutes fierce fight lasted. It was aformidable-looking crea- ture that was at length brought alongside the boat, and there was debate, after 1t was gaffed, as to whether it would be a welcome addition to the crew.
 Hung up on the rack here, the creature began to excite comment. To the casual observer 1t was but moon-hsh, a rather unusual catch. but occasionally caught and brought in by being entangled in the 6shermen's nets. This, however, was caught with hook and rod and reel. something unknown to fishermen hith- erto. A glance at the fish also showed a radical difference between this and the sword-fish.
 Its sword is not so long as that of the genuine swordfish of this length; the lower jaw Is unduly elongated; 1t has on its back collapsible fin, which, when extended, stands up 15 inches above the fish, but folds down into grove, until 1t is unnoticeable; the tail is like the screw of propeller, and very similar in appearance to that of the tuna. The fish sharps are all guessing The like of this has not been seen here before nor can any enlightenment be had from any books on the subject to be had here.
 The strange creature is nine feet long and weighs 125 pounds. The sword Is "A inches long and the tail is 39 across.

But for sudden protest by the bride the bridegroom at a wedding in St. Mary's church. New Britain, Conn.,. would have been married to the brides maid the other day. Peter Wood and Miss Rosa Strader, the principals. en- tered the church with Stephen Ferry and Miss Edwina Softleigh. the best man and bridesmaid. When the party reached the altar the bridesmaid. in- stead of retiring in favor of the bride. remained at the bridegroom's side.
 Rev. J. T. Winters began the cere- Imony, but just as he had reached the hateful part Miss Strader jumped up nd asked Father Winters to stop.
 An explanation followed, the young
 men exchanged places. and the
 emony went on. The bridesmaid

MOVE MILLIONS AS RAGS.
Unb0nded Government Clerk Carrie Money from Washington to New
 York in a Suit Case.

Col Edwards, chief of the division of insular affairs. recently told the story of bureau clerks remarkable trip few days ago with $3,0OO,O00 of government cash. The clerk is Marion E. Beall, whose home Is in Fort Wayne, Ind. For fear of robbery the officials kept the trip secret until after the clerk had delivered his precious burden in New York.
 Under the direction of the insular department the hints and the bureau of printing and engraving have been making money for use in the Philip pines. To. Mr. Beall was assigned the duty of overseeing the shipment of the money to the island possessions. The bureau of printing and engraving turned out $3,0OO,OOO in $1,0OO bills The insular department wanted to get the money to New York. Beall went around to see the express companies about the cost of transporting the treasure. Flight hundred dollars. /" said each of the companies.
 That's too much" said Col. Ed wards when Beall reported. What's the matter with you putting the money in a suit case and taking it up yourself?"
 Why, sure, can take it if you are willing to trust me with it" said Beall.
 The money was put in suit case and Beall. although not even under bond, carried it from this city to New York. whence 1t was shipped.

DANGER IN SLEEPING CARS.
Berths Scored as Filthy and Disease L3den by American Health
 Association.

The filthy and disease-laden sleep- ing car has been duly scored by tho American Health association. At the meeting in Washington, says the Star. the subject was very thoroughly dis cussed from Q sanitary standpoint Although the facts regarding the culp- able uncleanliness of berths are ad- mitted by the public, their rehearsal from time to time helps to emphasize the necessity for reform.
 The railroad companies are always ready with excuses against bettering conditions. Their business is to avoid trouble and save expense. The casual traveller may growl as much as he chooses. but is oftener contented to submit to an infliction rather than suffer the humiliation of a fruitless appeal to authority.
 No one needs be told that the ordi- nary heavy curtained and ill-ventilated night car is a veritable propagator of infectious diseases. What better could be expected when the nightly used blankets, as claimed by one speaker. are cleansed but once in six months
 And, pray, what power exists to call officials to account? What is the real guarantee for the sleeper that he is absolutely safe from the germs left for him from the previous customer The only remedy rests in the ordinary honesty of the common carrier.
 One of the railroad experts rather plausibly claimed that it was not fair to require railroads to spend large sums of money for sanitary purposes until they knew where they stood. As if, in truth, there were any doubts con- corning the efficacy of absolute cleanli- ness, perfect ventilation and thorough disinfection-all easy enough of ap- plication when there is will for the way.

Who's Been Robbed?

The Democratic platform says:
I'VE denounce protection as a rob
berry" This is certainly startling II
true. BIT who has been robbed?
Not the farmer. who Is getting a
billion dollars more a year for his
products than under free trade; whose
animals are worth a billion dollars
more than under free trade; who has
paid off his mortgages, who has i'm
proved his lands, who has increased
his stock and implements, and who
has money to burn instead of corn, as
was the cast under free trade.
No, the farmer has not been rob-
bed, and the farmers and their fam
lilies constitute 40 per cent of all our
people.
Not the wage in manufac.
turing industries, who have lived so
well and added a billion dollars TO
their savings since 1907 who have
increased their insurance, who have
paid for their homes, who have work
ed less hours and earned more money
than ever before. No, the wage earn
er has not been robbed.
Not the railroad employees, who are
getting a quarter OF a billion dollars
more wages a year now than under
free trade.
Not the railroad owners, who are
getting twice the dividends and whose
stock is worth about double what II
was under free trade.
Not the professional man, who Is
earning twice as much, and getting
it. He did not get it even though he
earned Il under free trade.
Not the wives and daughters, who
live well and dress well when the hus
bands and fathers are fully employed
at high wages.
Not the boys, who are getting
good education.
Not the general public laborers
who are working less hours and get
ting higher wages than ever before.
Not the old soldires, nor the pres
ent army, o the men who man Tho
ships.
No, there is 10 n being robbed
except the pawn broker and the Dem
ocrats who want a soft Job. There l!
where the robbery comes in and there
Is where IL hurts. The would-be cab
met officers and heads Of depart
ments, the would-be postmasters AM
clerks. the would-be ambassadors AM
ministers and consuls, the would.b'
office holder of any and every descrip
ton, he thinks he is being robbed
/ yet he can make more money in hi
business and get more wages for hi
work than he could under free trade
!, He Is robbed not of work and income
but of a position he cannot be trustee
to fill. That is all the robbery Their
{ Is TO protection.
