A QUEER OLD GUN.
The Way the Ancient Matchbox Was
Loaded and Fired.

Amogg the arms now obsolete which
formed large part Of the infantry
equipment IN the days when the army
was started was the pike, which was.
in the form Of a spear, with fiat and
pointed head, mounted on staff from
thirteen to eighteen feet long. The fire.
arm in general use at the time was the
matchbox.
What would a sergeant major Of the
present day, with his men armed with
the magazine rifle, think of such q
weapon as this: Attached to the lock
Of this musket was a pan; also a cock,
the hammer Of which was somewhat in
the form Of a birds, serptnt's or dogs
head. This head was split, and screw
compressed on eased the Sits. The
piece being loaded first with powder
and then with ball, some powder was
poured into the pan. The pan was then
shut to keep this printing from drop
ping out and to keep it dry. When the
G0ldier wished to fire, he fastened his
burning match into the slit of the cock,
opened the pan, looked to his printing,
presented and pulled the trigger. The
match, falling into the powder in the
pan, fred it.
Between the pan and breech Of the
barrel communication was established
by means of small hole. When the
piece was being loaded the grains Of
powder We're naturally rammed and
shaken down close to this hole, and
when printing the soldier took care to
perfect the communication Of the pow
der in the pan with that in the barrel.
Thus the explosion in the pan caused
the ignition Of the charge" London

Percy Rysshe Shelley.

Ss While is as a poet that Shelley will
always be remembered. the fact
not be oyerloo ked that he had g passion
for reforming the world, before all
things. He wrote many valuable es-
says and pamphlets on questions Of the
day some time before he astounded the
world with his brilliancy as a poet. OF

For a Sluqaish Liver.

When your liver is really sluggish,
practice the following exercises at
least twice day: Stretch one arm up
as high as you can. while with the 9th
er one try and reach down toward the
door. Then reverse the position Of the
arms. You will find that you viii I'M
consciously bend the body toward the
lower arm. By this exercise the side
muscles are trengthened, and the liv-
er, which Is like q sponge, is squeezed.
and is thus much assisted in its work.

COTTON
International Conference of Grow CTS and Manufacturers in Ses
 sion at Atlanta
FIGHT ON FUTURE DEALINGS
Five Hundred Delegates Present, And a Permanent Congress is Organiz- ed, With Meetings to be Held
 Once Every Year

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 6.-Assem- bled at Atlanta tonight are 300 delegates to the International Conference of Cotton Growers and Manufacturers, representing the industry of growing, spin hing and manufacturing the cot ton of the entire world, which meets tomorrow. The object in the coming together of the inter- ests whose products are valued at $3, ,000, 100000 annually, is pri- marily economic, and to this end this worlds cotton congress was devised for conference of every department of this vastindustry.
 Another object is the organiza- tion of permanent congress, which shall meet annually, and attached to it departments for the dissemination of information at all times. The leading men of the International Cotton Spin, ner's Association of Europe, the Association of Cotton Manufac- turers of the United States, the American Manufacturers Asso- citation, the Farmers Education al and Cooperative Union and the Southern Cotton Association are here, and collectively their organizations constitute the in ternational conference.
 Many of these men are avow- edly opposed to the speculative element which has attached to the cotton growing industry, and if the forthcoming congress can do it, they say it will devise means to eliminate them. c. w. Macara of Manchester, Eng, head of the great Zimmerman mills and preSi- dent of the International Cott on Spinners' Association of Europe, calls the speculative end of the business a curse, and hopes to see it eliminated, Speaking of the work of the congress and it's accomplishment, MT. Macara ad- mitted, with qualifications, that European mills have sold their products at an average of nine months ahead on the basis of raw cotton at 15 cents a pound, while the present market is under II cents. This he admitted is a large profit, but, he said, is not excessive when it is considered there are years when mills are operated at loss.
