Army To. Adopt Bullet.

The United States army will short
ly adopt the new bullet which was
recently tested by several of the tar
get experts at. the National Rifle
Meet at Seagirt, and found to be sat-
isfactofy by them. Instead of the
rounded point of the present bullet,
it. has straight tapering point and
is also !, about one-third lighter,
weighing about $50 grains. The new
bullet has greater velocity up to
1000 yards, a greater energy up to
l,4Oo yards, fatter trajectory up 10
1000 yards, and little better accur-
acy up to 1000 yards. The new bull
let will require a slightly different
firing chamber in the rifle, but this
can be readily effected in pieces now
under manufacture, and the neces-
sary changes can be made in the
pieces now in use with but compar-
atively little expense.

a RaccooD aDd a Joke

That raccoon seemed always with me, like
Black Care behind the horseman.
However, time passed on for q month or
more, and / thought that everybody had for
gotten the raccoon but myself, and | began to
believe that my misadventure would never be
discovered, when one morning / was startled
to find great placaTd, printed in ride letters,
upon the door of the carriage-house 1t read;
"$100 REWARD.
''The above amount will be paid for the
arrest of the reprobate who stole tailed
raccoon and carried it off in box and shot
it In the north woods"
L was overcome by horror, insomuch that
never stopped to wonder how the placard
came to be placed there, or to notice how
ly into. the house, threw myself into my
mothers arms, and cried:
,'Oh, save me-save me! | didn't steal
that racooni l bought it,"
That awful younger brother was in the
room, and he burst into a fit of uproarious
laughter. and rolled upon the floor and
kicked his heels in convulsons Of merriment
until he seemed on the verge of dissolution,
and gasped for breath, while the tears ran
down his cheeks, He no sooner recovered
and fear-stricken visage than he was seized
with a second paroxysm even more violent
than the other, so that we really feared for
his safety.
Inc murder was out, and, with the bitter
est humiliation, told the whole story of my
hunting adventure. But my anxiety about
that placard on the barn-door was relieved
when my brother told me that he had posted
it there himself. He told me that he met the
boy of whom ! bought the raccoon, while fish
him the details of my purchase, and told about
finding the box empty in the woods the day
afterward. He, Of course, at once drew his
own conclusion about my shooting the rae
coon, and posted the plaeard for a joke.

up to me with the respect due to an oloer
brother who carried gun and went hunting
This Younger brother looked critically at my
raccoon and said:
where's it's tail?'
Sure enough where was it's tail? had felt
that there was something wrong about the
beast, but / couldn't decide what it was. That
was the reason that wicked Shiffler boy had
sold it so cheaply.
"And what's that mark around its neck
proceeded that younger brother, relentlessly.
/ hadn't noticed that mark, either, but
found that the collar by which it was chained
to the kennel had worn the hair from the
neck under it.
/ couldn't explain it, and / began to regret
that had not been prohibited from carrying
gun until / was fourteen. Then, as my
cruel brother seemed to doubt my ability as
hunter, had to defend myself, and in max
ing this defense l unwttingly backed up my
original story with so much detail that /
couldn't take it back, as / had intended to,
and let them know that l had purchased the
raccoon first and shot it afterward.
| decided to wait until the next day before
revealing the real circumstances, but when
that time arrived it seemed a great deal
harder than it had been before to acknowl-
edge it, and 1 again put it of.
Finally, / decided that it would be just as
well not to tell anything more about it, and
from that hour l not only suffered with a
guilty conscience, but was perpetually har-
rowed by the thought that somebody would
find out the real circumstances.
Then how ridiculous | would appear when
| it was learned that had been obliged TO buy
my game before could shoot it! And then
| to have come 30 close to a falsehood about it,,
| too!
/ felt that should be disgraced for life
| il the truth were ever known, and the fear
of discovery never forsook my thoughts.

Italians were quick to use their knives in
moments of excitement, but he saw more than
one American boss among them, and was hope
full that they would not permit any attack
upon him. He therefore, sat silent, and com
placently watched the proceedings.
At the moment the rush was made the
operator in the telegraph office was in a doze.
He had gone on duty in the afternoon for
three days past, and sat all through the long,
lonely night without the slightest incident
to disturb him. As he looked out in the

And adjusting his lank form as best he
could in his somewhat cramped quarters, he
speedily sank into slumber, which would have
lasted until daylight had it not been broken
by the occurrence described.
The young man suddenly heard tramping
feet and voices around him, and, springing
up from the bench, dashed outdoors to learn
what it meant.
1t was some minutes before he grasped the

HY@ the month OF July there was an
1Ml nually celebrated for four centuries
E@kA at Hamburg a strange festlVal
0Gm9Dl known as |'The Cherry Feast IL
49, was for the most part confined TO
young folks, who, when cherries
were ripe, usually early in the month, marched
through the streets of the town bearing
branches laden with ripe, luscious fruit. Like
every other ceremony, it celebrated an event,
which has not yet been forgotten. In the
year 1882 great Hussite army besieged the
CITY of Hamburg under the command OF Pro
copius the Great. The war had ragged for
MANY years, and on both sides it had be-
come both bitter and cruel. When they saw
the army outside their walls the people OF
Hamburg became extremely frightened, as they
could not hope to hold out long against such
odds. A council of chief citizens was held to
devise some method of saving the town. Moth
ing seemed feasible until someone suggested
that they should send out all the little child
rem, for, said one, 'the sight will surely melt
the hearts of the soldiers, and they will do
us no harm" The suggestion was acted up
on and all the children of the town were gath
cred together from their homes and set in
marching order. The gates of the city were
opened, and they were told to march out to
the army.
Great was the surprise of the army to see
the gates of the city swung open; but greater
still their surprise when they saw march out
an army of little children clad in white.
When they heard the pattering of the tiny
feet, and when the little ones drew up timid-
lv before the tents the warriors were fairly
CONQUERED and tears filled their eyes. They
who had come to rob, kill and burn threw
down their arms and gathering beautiful
branches of fruit off the cherry trees, sent
the children back to their parents with
those branches and message of peace, which
was faithfully observed. The children won a
great and bloodless victory, and in commemo-
ration of it, those branches Were until recent
ly, if not now, carried through the streets by
ihe children.

But when he grasped the knob. he found,
to his conformation, that he was locked out.
Let me in!" he shouted, rafting the door
so hard that the whole structure threatened to
tumble over.
Amid the chattering, laughing and talking
about him, he could hear no sounds from, in
side the little building. He shook the door
again and again, but there was no response.
Then, he tried to force IL inward, but de-
sisted through fear of pushing the building
over and disarranging the electrical appa-
ratus.
Becoming desperate he darted to the win
dow and peered within. 1t was empty. Some
one had locked it from the outside, and then
joined the Others.
It's lucky I'm slim sort Of fellow" NUT
tered the operator, as he proceeded to push
up the window and crawl within.
$ Slight as he was, the fit was a tight one, one,
doubtful whether he would be able to go
forward or backward without help.
That help was suddenly given him. Some
one grasped his feet, which were beating the
shove that he plunged into the building much
after the manner of boy taking a header off
his bicycle.
"Such energy is altogether unnecessary"
said the young operator, picking up his crush
ell hat and shaking himself together as best
he could.
'T wonder if they've tapped the wires?" he
thought, hastily bending over the instrument,
"Ihey would hardly dare to do that, for the
office would know that something was wrong.
No: it's all right"
Within the following minute the operator
in Des Cartes was electrified by the message
that the employees Of the Northern Trunk had
seized the engine at Frogtown, and we're en-
gagged in laying the frog and completing the
crossing.
Godfrey Dunbar and one of the directors
were seated in the office at that time, and
were immediately told the news,

said, looking up at the clock. We'll send

"The frog can be reached sooner by order
ing an engine from Bayington," said the op
orator, and the director suggested that it
should be done.
"No. 90 is the one that must do it, said
Godfrey, impatiently. II will write the or

Ten minutes later when the Accommoda
ton steamed into the station at Des Cartes,

came to a stop, and handed the engineer the
following order:

and a private school in Boston; for the other
four score years and more of his life he learn
ed without a teacher. His fathers library
was small but the lad himself spent the lit
tie money that came into his hands Sc
rious books and pamphlets. Having proved
deficient in arithmetic in his early youth, he
afterward made special study of mathenat-
les and for some time amused himself by
constructing all sorts of magical squares and
circles, with rows of figures that would add
up alike, whichever way they were counted.
In this connection, Mr.. Ford-a selfeducated
man himself, in that his only school was his
fathers immense private library-has this to
say
His own experience served TO teach Frank
lin that a strong mind needs no schooling to
develop it, and that a poor mind is not
strengthened by study. Poor Richard made
merry over the many witty men whose brains
cannot fill their bellies and of those who
would live by their wits but for want of
stock "A learned blockhead is a greater
blockhead than an ignorant one,' he asserted,
and claimed that of learned fools l have
seen ten times ten; of unlearned wise men,
have seen a hundred Yet Franklin was
far from showing the usual contempt of the
self-taught man for an academic education.
On his settling in Philadelphia he found two
things which he regretted, and one of these
was there being no provision for
the complete education of youth l
therefore in 1743 drew up a proposal for
establishing an academy"
The academy was duly founded; but in time
it became hotbed OF politics, and its rector
