Things at Mother Knows

And when I'm in an awful rush
And cut dessert some day,
Ma says that l may be excused
Then when she looks away
l throw my napkin on the floor
As other felers do.
She calls me back to fold IL up
l don't see how she knewl
And once when played postman
And out of mothers drawer
Took lots of letters, notes and things
When not person saw,
And left them at the neighbors doors
AS other postmans do.
She had to go and find il out
| don't see how she knewi
Sometimes she spanlSn re good and hard,
Sometimes m sent to bed.
But oftenest l get an awful
ralkin 10 instead
So I've about made up my mind
The kind of things to do
Are those II wouldn't make me 'shamed
To know my mother knew.

Composition of the 16-inch Breech-

Describing the making of the most
powerful gun in the world, Day Allen
Wiley says, in The Technical World
Magazine"
Technically this great 'peacemak-
err is called 16-inch breech loading
rifle. 1t is, perhaps, unnecessary to
say that the &c inches refers to the
diameter Of the bore, of the calibre.
In fact, this Is so large that man of
ordinary size can crawl inside the
muzzle without difficulty. A better
idea of the gun can be gained when it
is stated that the forgings for the
tube and jacket weigh no less than
1874 tons The tube itself is 49h feet
in length. and, as the gun is of the
builtup type favored by artillery Off
GERS of the present day, it is reinforc-
ed at the base by the jacket. which

is further strengthened by four sets
Of hoops, which really make it of four
thicknesses of metal between the CEN

Russell had made no mistake. There
was but one jewel like that in the
whole world. He had made sure of
that before he bought 1t for his wife
ten years before. Curious 1t was; a
solid diamond heart, fanked by a
score OF tiny ruby ones, held In place
by the finest thread of gold that was
quite invisible at the distance of a
few feet
Tonight she was wearing II in a
new place-as a sole ornament to the
cleaning pile of corn-gold hair that,
alone, might have made Mamie Rus
sell beauty-famous. But besides this,
there were eyes of a matchless amber
gray, richly pale, perfect skin, and
fine, scarlet lips that were gravely
sweet.
Russell gradually let his eyes away
from the jewel to furtive contempla-
ton OF his wife's familiar features.
No; seven years had made slow prog
ress in ageing woman of this indie
structible type. II anything. she had
grown more splendid in her thirties
than she had ever been in the old girl
hood days of their first love.
She was conversing spiritedly with
an ambassador. and Russell thanked
Heaven that he had been allotted
seat at the other end OF the table. She
would hardly bestow more than
casual glance in that direction, and he
relied upon his short beard and eye
glasses to protect him from recogni-
ton.
The dinner progressed tiresomely,
and the running fire of small talk Rus
sell found himself obliged to keep up
the hardest work the young broker
had ever done in his life.
Presently there was lull, and he
became conscious that all eyes were
turned upon the man who sat directly
opposite to him.

red that poured over his face went

to his wife's face. From pale, 1t had
grown all at once bloodless. and she
was leaning forward with parted lips
and wide, tense eyes. A remark from

Perplexed with business fret and Jar.

And lent II something of its grace,
And charmed it into peace again.
