Discarded War Material.

Some idea of the vast quantities of dis
carded war material thrown upon the
general market by the successive
changes in armament adopted by the
various great powers may be gathered
from the list of arms now offered for
sale from this cause by the Italian gov
ernment. The list includes 100000
rifles, adopted so recently as 1887, with
$4,000, 900 cartridges; 1,200 nine-pound-
er and 500 seven-pounder guns, with
100000 shells, and ITO seven-pounder
mountain Guns, with 1900 shells.

THEY DRINK FROM TROUCHS
Pupils Of a Kansas School Quench
Their Thirst After the Man
ner of Horses.

Topeka, Kan.-The manual training
school is to be equipped with a new
tangled drinking arrangement for the
pupils, which Judge T. F. Carver, of the
school board terms a horse trough
arrangement
The new drinking system is cupless,
dipperless affair, supposed to be highly
sanitary and the latest thing in school
drinking fountains. Instead of cup or
dipper, one who wishes to drink bends
over the fountain and rlunges his face,
or part of it, in a bubbling stream of
water forced upward through the foun-
tain much like an artesian well.
1t is really an adaptation of the old
fashioned country school way of hold
ing the cupped hand over the spout of
the pump, while another pumps, and
when the cupped hand is full of water,
plunging the chin, nose, and forehead, if
necessary, into the water, if the hand is
big enough, while the thirsty one drinks.
These ''horse trough" drinking foun-
tains have been tried at the summer
school, and Supt Whittemore reports
that they are an excellent device. The
special advantage is that the persons
who drink do not use common cup and
there is no danger of communicating dis
ease

THAT made uncle mad, and he deeid-

night, after he had got his salary all
right, he went on the stage with an egg

''Warde was playin' Julius Caesar,
and it was the garden scene, where
Brutus-that was Warde-walked about
and shook hands with the various con-
spirators.
Uncle was one of the conspirators,
and he held the egg in his right fist. He
watched his chance, and when Warde,
in a lordly way, went to shake hands
with him he dropped the egg in Warde's
open palm,
Uncle says he never seen such a
surprised look on anyone's face as he
seen on Wardes then. His hand closed
Immediately, and he glanced down at
the thing that had been given him.
more surprised than ever.
He couldn't put no fire into the scene
after that. He didn't do any more hand
shakin' for fear he might smash the
egg. He kept shiftin' it from one hand
to the other, and you could hear him
cursin' under his breath.
AT the end of the scene he rushed
into the wings yellin':

But Uncle Musgrave, you bet, had
