HAND aRENADEs OF WAR OF ,1s

Old-Time Ordnance Found ut Fort
Henry-How They Were Used.
While examining the contents Of the
ordnance storehouse at Fort McHenry
Lieut.. j. L. Holcombe, of the 12Sth
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 his
storic old fort when 1t was first erected
in 1872. Owing to the way in which
they We're packed the grenades had
only the slightest. trace of rust upon
them.
The discovery Of the weapon recalls
a bit Of the ancient history of the
country. In explaining their use Lieut.
Holcombe said that the grenades were
handled only by the grenadiers of the
ship, who, walking out upon the yard

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

Malay Prince a Wise eux,

The matches had been forgotten and
it looked as if it would be impossible
to roast the clans on the beach.
Boys" said the young Malay
Prince, Harvard student, "I'll show
you how to make a fire by rubbing two
sticks together. Mark Twain says you
can't rub fire out of sticks. He does
not know how to go about it, that is
the trouble"
An oak log lay on the sand. With
a Ratchet the Prince made narrow
groove in the log, canal two feet
long. Then he cut off an oaken peg
!, a foot long and of the thickness of his
wrist. This he sharpened into the like
ness of a huge lead pencil.
Now" he said.
And kneeling, he began to rub the
sharp end of the peg up and down in
the groove. His breast heaved with
the labor, his face dripped with heat.
But at the end of FIVE minutes the
groove began to. send up little blue
wisps of smoke and a moment later
a tiny flame fiickered and vanished.
Have that straw ready" gasped
the Prince.
And when the tiny flame next ap.
peared youth lighted bit of straw
with it and it was not much later be-
fore the clans were roasting.-Phila-

PLEASANT ISLAND.
A Bit of Land in the Pacific Named
for the Natives, AmiabIe Trafta.

for the Natives, Amiable Traits,
| The solitary little island of Nauru
rises from Pacific depths of about A.
ooo feet some 400 miles west of the
nearest land of the Gilbert group. It
Is scarcely as large as an American
| township, and 1t Is an atoil, but 1t diff.
rers so much from nearly all the other
atolls OF the Pacific that it has attract
ed much attention.
Ihe atolls rise only n little above the
sea level, and after the traveller has
seen two: or three of them he concludes
that they are very monotonous. But a
part Of the outer rim Of Nauru Is yer.
dant ridge of about 200 feet high, and
what was once the lagoon encIrcled by
coral reef Is now plain, slightly roll
ing ana strewn with coral fragments,
This atoll evidently had peculiar
history that made 1t different from
many of the other atolls. Here and
there are bits of volcanic rock and yes.
tiges Of ancient craters that help to ex-
plain this history.
Inc time was when volcanic forces
lifted the submarine mountain on
which stood the circle of coral and the
lagoon within 1t until the lagoon was
above the sea level, and its waters
drained away, leaving dry plain. So
here we see an atoll lifted into the air
so that Its whole formation may be
tstudied above the sea level. 1880 lst
Nobody knows wheti emfgrants came
In their small boats to settle on the
little Island, but there is every reason
to believe that they sailed from the
Gilbert Islands. Their habits and arts
are very similar to those of the Gilbert
islanders. and there are striking resem.
blances between their languages. Their
names for many plants are almost or
quite Identical with the names for these
plants In the Gilbert archipelago.
| When white men came less frequent.
~ than they do now the natives used to
throng the beach, welcome the visitors
with glad shouts and lavish their best
hospitality upon them. There were
factions among them and they were
often at war until they were dlsarmed
by the German warship Eber after the
island became part of the German
Pacific possessions.
Every visitor for years past has said
that they are the most gentle, peace
able. and friendly people that could be
imagined. and these attractive qualities
induced some English seafarers to give
a new name to the island by which 1t Ia
now everywhere known. Even on the
German maps are found both the native
name Nauru and the name now in com.
mon use, Pleasant Island.
Considering Its smallness, the island
has become remarkably conspicuous in
a commercial way. No other island OF
its size produces so large an amount Of
copra, the dried meat of the cocoanut.
Several years ago great phosphate
beds were found in the interior and
they are proving gold mine, to the
German Jaluit Company, which is
working the deposits in connection with
an English company. The latter dis.
covered beds also In Banaba Island,
about hundred miles away, and the
two companies are working both de.
posIts together.

would do credit to RUDE Waddell. The

the crowd cheered.

are swifter in flight than pigeons-that
is, for short distances. Some years
ago pigeon fancler at Hamme, West
phalia, laid wager that dozen bees
liberated three miles from their hives
would reach home In less time than a
dozen pigeons. The competitors were
given wing at Rybern, village nearly

he was taking some vegetables to
market he put one of the little pigs
in basket. fastened on the cover
and set the basket in his wagon. Then
he drove to the nearest market town,
where he sold his vegetables and also
his little pig. Late in the afternoon,
when he was home again, the farmer
saw something coming across the
meadow below his house. 1t was some

Cling along through the high grass,
and as 1t came nearer he saw it was

back the money to the man who had
brought the pig from him, and the
little pig stayed home.

HOW TO COOK OUT-OFDOORS.

These doorways or draught holes
should be made on two or three sides
Of the stove, and when one is in use

according to the strength of the wind
and the direction from which it is
blowing.
"The pot should be hung on the

of the stove and holds in the heat.
Fish may be fried in pan or broiled
much better than over an open fire,
and water can be boiled quicker and
coffee made easier. :
This stove can be made either
