HAND GRENADEs OF WAR OF '12.
OId-Time Ordnance Found at Fort
Henry-How They Were Used.

OId-Time Ordnance Found at Fort
Henry-How They Were Used.
While examining the contents of the
ordnance storehouSe at Fort McHenry
Lieut. J. L. Holcombe. OF the 12Srh
coast artillery, discovered several
boxes of old hand grenades which are
supposed to be more than 100 years
old, says the Baltimore American.
The missiles are of the earliest make
used by the United States government,
and were probably placed at the hfs-
toric old fort when it was first erected
in 1912. Owing to the way in which
they were packed the grenades had
only the slightest trace of rust upon
them.
The discovery of the weapon recalls
bit of the ancient history of the
country. In explaining their use Lieut..
Holcombe said that the grenades We're
handled only by the grenadiers of the
ship, who, walking out upon the yard
arms of the old fashioned fighting YES
sells, threw them into the ranks of the
enemy. An explosion followed which
created havoc.
They weigh about four pounds and
are shaped after the fashion of the
bombs used by anarchists, and are
iron and loaded with gunpowder.
Several days after the discovery one
of the new recruits at the fort was
found trying to dry the powder In one
of the missiles by roasting 1t on the
fire. A report was made to Lieut..
Watson. in command OF the post, who
said that he intended TO write to the

mutation and loss of two immense for
tunes ard the winning Of third at an
age when the great majority OF men
are relegated to the retired list seem
but minor incidents in his wonderful
career. Among the roles he has filed
In his time, and the most of them with
marked success, have been those Of
senator, lawyer, editor, orator, Yale
College man. Indian fighter. prospector,
Spectator and scientific farmer.
He was born n the State OF New
York, lived While in Ohio, then went
to Yale to study law. When the cry
OF Gold in California" was raised In
40 he came West, and, between the law
and ore mining, grew so opulent that
he became known as ''the Silver King"
But when he was elected Senator from
Nevada he plunged too deeply into the
extravagances of capital life. and at
the end of twelve years found himself
poor But he did not despair. Again
he came back TO the West for a fortune,
dug 1t out of the earth in the form Of
precious ore, and soon found himself
again millionaire. Power returned
with fortune, and In 1887 he was again
elected to the United States Senate.
For a time he was a greater power
In politics than before. He was at the
head of that group OF Republican dele
gates who withdrew from the st Louis
convention In 1896 because the maiori-
ty refused to agree TO a bimetallism
plank and declared for the gold stand

and the success of the gold standard
cause dealt him hard blow. Unwise
speculation and other unremunerative
enterprises in a few years reduced him
once more to the lower financial level.
So, two years ago last March, his
term ended, he babe good-by to his
friends in the Senate and returned
once more to the scenes of his former
triumph to again wrest fortunes from
the rocks
When he returned TO Nevada the last
time it was known among his friends
that he was almost down and OUT

the old-time courage, and with his
knowledge of mines and mining. things

He made several lucky strikes and in

had elapsed he had made a good start
toward retrieving his fortunes 1t is
believed that he is now worth at least

much more. He has shelved his social
and political ambition, and declares
that this fortune-his third-will moi

Renewal of old Orchards.

An Ohio bulletin contains practical
lessons In orchard renewal as conduct
ed at tho Ohio Experiment Station,
where block Of rundown apple or
chard planted some forty years ago
was brought into profitable fruit pro-
duction, In order TO cover the interval
from the time Of planting young trees
until they should come into full bear
ing. The various phases of the treat
ment are discussed and Illustrated by
several figures.
Based upon the treatment Of this
orchard, the author is Of the opinion
that old orchards can be renewed IN
such a way as to produce fine fruit for
home and market while the young
trees are growing and that the plan Of
renewal, which is a process of pruning
down tie trees, brings about conditions
under which insects and fungi can be
so easlly and effectualIy combated and
controlled as to reduce to a minimum
the danger Of their spread to younger
plantations.
During the first season OF renewal
the topDost branches should be cut out.
leaving all healthy side branches. The
next season the horizontal branches
may be pruned 50 as to promote a uni
form. well-rounded. symmetrical head
and top. Suggestions are given as to
the method Of pruning and dressing
large wounds caused by severe pruning.
Heading back should be followed up by
Discriminate thinning Of the new shoots
and by cutting back those selected for
future fruit bearing.
Renewal Of orchards may be profit
ably accompanied by the addition Of
stable manure. either worked In thu
soil or allowed to remain upon the sur-
face mixed with straw as a mulch.
Suggestions are also given for the re-

One OF the main advantages In the
keeping of sheep is that they leave the
land in better condition than before IL
was occupied by them. Every farmer
who will properly manage his flock can
improve the fertility of his soil from
the resources of his farm by means OF
his shepe until every acre of land OF
prime quality win produce 100 bushels
OF Indian corn, shelled. 1t is demon
strable as general proposition, true
of nearly all kinds Of farming, that
every kind of domestic animal, up to 4
certain limit, can be kept more profta-
bly, than 1t can be dispensed with by
farmers. This is especially true in re-
lation to sheep, which are more general
feeders than any domestic animal ex-
cept the goat, as sheep will eat nearly
every vegetable product with good
relish. Sheep will browse on brush and
kill out the wild grasses They will
get abundant food from the scattered
grain and springing Of weeds on the
grain stubble. They are good scav,l-
gers Of weeds and fallen apples in tine
orchard, while during all this they are
making mutton and wool out of weeds
and waste. The cost of keeping up to
the point where all this waste matter
is consumed consists only In the Incl
dental expenses, while the returns are
manure, mutton, wool and increase of
the flock. In addition to doing service
in utilizing weeds and waste on the
farm sheep will accept foods In winter
that may not be relished by cattle. But
little grain is necessary to keep a sheep
from fall until spring. provided COM
Portable quarters and an abundance Of
hay are allowed.

'All right, May, look at this"
Heavens !" exclaimed the man,
what names for ball players"
He fastened around the field and
came within full view of the players.
Out in the field was a full team of
negro girls, ranging in age from IS to
% years, clad in short blue skirts,
white shirt waists, black stockings. and
regulation baseball shoes. They were
equipped with every modern device for
capturing the frisky baseball. Stoop-
ing forward with hands upon knees,
they encouraged the pitcher to put 'em
over" strike 'em out" and do every
other things which are so easy to tell
the pitcher to do but so hard for the
twlrler to perform herself especially
herself. The stranger asked for expla-
nations from one of the large CROWD
which had gathered to witness the per-
Torrance.
"Tnose are the Kansas City Blue
Bellies, organized by Claude East" was
the reply. "They come out here and
practice almost every night after 6
o'clock. They have made several trips
to Karsas towns, including Atchison
and Topeka. Can they play palll Look
at them"
A little negro girl had just gone to
bat. The pitcher "tied herself in a
knot as much as her skirts permitted
and threw the ball with speed that
would do credit to Rube Waddell. The
batter met it squarely ''Cn the nose"
and sent it to the embankment on the
opposite side of the field. Then she
sprinted around for a home run while
the crowd cheered
Before the visitor left he saw some
other samples of real ball playing.
