In what is known as the clay test
in the Hof man-stopping bullet red
plastic clay was used during the re-
cent experiments at Springfield. Some
pine boxes, each about 22xS inches. In
terror measurement. were used by the
examining board, each box being filed
with red clay.
The boxes were fired into with the
Hof projectile. Some OF the weapons
used were the Colt caliber As, carrying
a lead bullet; some were self-loading
caliber at 45 and some of the bullets
were jacketed or sheathed with steel.
After the spluttering of clay displac-
ed by the fired projectile was over
liquid plaster OF paris was poured In,
filling the cavity, and the mass was
allowed to cool, after which the cones
were uncased Some of the cones
were twenty-five inches long, some
about twelve inches, resembling red
icicles Examination was thea made
with view to the recovery Of the
propectile and note was made Of Its
condition.
When the Hof bullet is fred into wa
ter or clay the round ball, which Is
made of steel and anthony nodded
into the point of the bullet, invariably
becomes detached from the bullet prop
er.
In water or In soft clay this bullet
mushrooms in a manner very like the
hollow-point man-stopping bullet The
the latter in accuracy, combining with
this accuracy man-stopping effect. But
perhaps on humanitarian grounds
non-detachable compound bullet will be
urged.
The test of the Hof bullet should
properly be made into living flesh of
some animal. Sometimes these tests
are made, using cadayers obtained by
legitimate methods. In the present
case the carcass of semi-frozen beef
was laid horizontally and fired into,
using projectiles Of lead or projectiles
jacketed or sheathed with cupro-nickel
steel, also by Hof's bullet
The arms used were caliber 45. Per-
haps half a dozen shots were fired for
the purpose of infiicting flesh wounds
only; others were fired carefully, aim
ing at the bones. The paths traversed
by the bullets were then carefully meas
ured and probed and the condition of
the flesh and bones struck by the bull
let carefully noted and made of rec
ord.
When a bullet of small caliber and
having great energy strikes the bone it
inakes a hole through it that is clean
cut When bullet of caliber As strikes
p large bone or when one of Hof's man
stopping bullets strikes a large bone
it splits or fractures or pulverizes the
bones-Boston Transcript.

CHAPTER VII.

The last sounds of the combat died on
the ears of the anxious listeners in the
cottage. and were succeeded by the still
ness of suspense. Frances had continued
by herself, striving to exclude the uproar,
and vainly endeavoring to summon resoiu-
ton to meet the dreaded result. After
witnessing the escape of his son, Mr..
Wharton had joined his sister and eldest
daughter in their retreat, and the three
continued fearfully waiting for news from
the field. Unable longer TO remain under
the painful uncertainty of her situation,
Frances soon added herself to the uneasy
group, and Caesar was directed to exam
Inc into the state of things without and
report. The father now briefly related
TO his astonished children the circum-
stance of their brothers escape. They
were vet in the freshness of their surprise,
when the doo.' opened and Captain Whar-
ton. attended by a couple of the guides
and followed by the black, stood before
them.
"Henry-my son, my son." cried the
agitated parent, stretching out his arms !;

so. too. Newman apparently was

Presently chronic patients straight

A new variation of the old-fashioned
rose jar has been introduced by an
ingenious woman who always has
dainty things about her. Instead of a
china jar she makes a silk bag for the
potpourri.
The bag is like a good-sized work
bag, with a wide neck and ribbon
drawstring. The delicate perfume lasts
for a long time, though not 50 long,
of course, as when the rose leaves are
in a covered jar. The bag is shaken
up every little while and just a faint
odor of the potpourri filis the room.
Dried lavender may be used in the
same way.

srouoht His Knife Along.

Whenever the penurious manager OF
the large store wanted TO sharpen
his pencil he would enter the shipping
department and borrow knife rom
one of the boys. Sometimes the boys
did not have their knives with them,

who always could be depended upon

Fashion Notes.

The modern skirt requires a world
of thought and careful handling in its
cutting out to make it a success.
Stripes yelled in tulles, voiles and
other semi-transparent fabrics are very
fashionable both for street end home
wear.
China and japanese blue straw mob
cap shapes with full ruches of pale
green tulle and touches of green and
blue ribbons are quite delightful.
The pelerine bodice effects steadily
increase in popular favor. They, to-
gether with the shortened bodice, have
caused d tremendous revolution in
fashions.
A millinery novelty is wreath of
flowers, disposed not in the ordinary
manner round the crown or as an out
line to the brim, but reared at one side
or hooped at the back.
Stiff little tailored hats in odd shapes
of blue, heliotrope or green straw, with
many Topped bows of self-colored rib
bon at the back and a wreath of roses
or field flowers around the crown, Will
be worn with coat suits.
Lovely gowns are made of white lace
over silver or gold tissue. Such. a
toilet was accompanied by gold col
ored cross-oyer taffeta scarf and a hat
of the same tone that was fluffy mass
of crinoline. tulle, straw and feathers
Black lace fiounees are again coming
into fashion. Through the winter black
lace was very much to the fore and
many are going to take out the treas
ured flounees of Chantilly or Spanish
lace and get them mounted on trailing
skirts of taffetas or soft satin.

Measuring railroad water

The Sundberg committee has reported
to the Minnesota Senate that railway
property in that State has a real value
of s215,O00,00o, or about $27, 900 a mile.
But this property is capitalized at $780,
100000, or an average of $4,000 a mile.
The net earnings last year on the COM
mittee's valuation averaged is per cent.
In making their estimate, the committee
considered the original cost of construc-
ton, cost of equipment and all improve
ments, expense of operating under exist
ing rates. etc.

summer visiting.

II you contemplate visit this sum-
mer, do not swoop down on some tired
woman who is always busy and remain
with her for weeks at time. Moth
ers should not allow their daughters to
go visiting and remain too long. This
pleasure of visiting is so greatly
abused that it is almost a humbug. We
all like our friends to call and visit
US, and some we really desire to have
with US longer than they can remain,
but every woman who must do her own
work should not be burdened with
summer visitors. They will be cour-
teous and kind, but week or ten days
is the longest any woman should re-
main at house as a guest unless the
invitation was extended for a longer
period. If you go with your children,
and little visitors can be a great
charge, do net make the hostess anx-
ious on their account; look after your
own children; she has work of her
own. And do not leave home and send
your children to the grandparents to
annoy them when they need their vaea-
ton. This is one of the great faults
of the average American mothers, and
they make grandmother bear the brunt
of caring for the children. Be reason
able about it. If a daughter goes to
visit friends, write the hostess she is
in her charge and must conform to the
rules and regulations of the household.
Many young girls often abuse the priv
ilege of the hostess home and are
never welcome again. And don't think
you are playing a joke on any womaL
to swoop down ON her with we'll
packed trunk to remain for several
weeks She will be surprised, but not
agreeably so.

Ho,, soldier. Reance.

Soldiers have an easy way Of keep
ing their figures supple and trim. The
officer who finds his waist growing
greater than his chest, thus destroying
the symmetry Of his uniform, eats for
little while nothing but lean meat,
and drinks nothing but hot water. Thus
he loses two pounds or so a day. He
keeps this diet up till he has sufficiently
diminished himself-a matter, as a
rule. Of but three or four days absti-
