NEW ARMY GUN TEST,
Superiority In Largely Increased Num-
 Der of Discharges.

From the New York Sun.
 The new 14-inch army gun Is to be tested at Sandy Hook next month. Much is claimed for 1t by the army experts, first among whom, of course, Is Gen William Crozier, chief of ordinance The gun will be about the same length as the 12-inch 1t is intended to replace shorter, measured by calibers, but actu- ally of practically equal length It will. however, be lighter and to that extent more easily handled.
 There are disadvantages and advan- tages, the former being of more or less consequence In coast defense, as, for example. slight parabola in place of the fiat projectory as regards the course of the projectile. The army authorities dismiss this consideration as uninpor tant The forts are stationary and so can calculate the range of their guns with absolute accuracy. That being the case, the question of the parabola or the fiat trajectory is comparatively insig- nificant since they can absolutely fix their targets and fire with sure knowledge in the premises.
 An assembly and assessment of the advantages, on the other hand, seems even simpler. The 14-inch gun develops an inferior velocity from the muzzle and describes with its projectile larger curvature, but as the forts will know exactly where the target is this Is of relatively remote importance. The com manding superiority of the 14-inch gun consists in It's capacity for 250 to 300 con, secutive discharges as against 80 to S5 in the case of the 12-inch gun, and sev- eral hundred pounds extra weight of shell and correspondingly enlarged possi- bility of devastation therefrom. As we all know, the firing of 12-inch guns, with service charges limits the usefulness of that weapon. After 80 or 85 discharges the inside sheath of the 12-inch gun is impaired and its accuracy destroyed ac- cordingly. Gen. Crozier asserts, and we understand that the navy experts do not contradict him, that in the case of the 14-inch gun the lower velocity spares the instrument much of the severe wear and tear and gives to the gun capacity of 250 to 300 discharges-at least three times that of the other.

A Woman on a Mans Job.

From the 1Outn s COnlpdnlOn.
 The work of an Indian agent is not ex- actly "a soft snap" It reaches all the way from dsciplining drunken Indians to serving out rations, reading matter and counsel to a group of persons so varied as to include college students and men who are yet clothed in blankets and long ing for the scalps of their enemies.
 The task of civilizing and controlling the most incorrigible of these Indians is gem orally done by the methods of the police man or of the soldier; but Commissioner Leupp has recently substituted, in at least one case, the method of the teacher and the sciologist. When he appointed Miss Clara True agent of the Mission reservation in California; 1t was because he had seen her managing an Indian school in New Mexico. The clean faces of the dirt-loving children in that school suggested to him that this wopan had power to clean up more than faces. So he sent her to a reservation ravaged by disease, poverty stricken because of lazi- ness, and enslaved by whisky.
 She was threatened and resisted in every effort for better conditions. Once. when she went away for the night from her usual sleeping room, her pillow was torn to pieces by bullets. She was shot at from ambush, approached with bribes by liquor sellers, and vilified by land thieves and cattle thieves.
 Miss True Is a little woman, but she is a good fighter and loyal friend, and has succeeded in her fight for decency and progress. The Mission reservation, from being the worst spot in our Indian pos sessions, is rapidly becoming the model of the Indian office. The Indians living on 1t have discovered, thanks to the woman who is doing a mans work, that justice and good order may be enforced even in the most lawless community; and they have learned also that the enforcement may be so aided and reinforced by hu- manity and sympathy that the law itself shall demonstrate the power of love.

weakening her own defenses, while the lion of England was crouched ready to spring and take what he could.
 Those in France who fought for the king were few in number and their lead CTS tfmid. The Burgundians were power ful allies of the English, and they were passing in triumph through the country, burning and plundering as they went
 Now the village of Domremy was de- voted to the king, and as it lay along the line of march, it was put to the sword, and the poor peasants had to run for their lives. The family of Jacques d'Arc fled to Neufchateau, where they took shelter ! in the house of a friend and when at last they yentured back to the vil- lage poor little Jeanne, who was only i 10 years old, sat down and cried at the sight of her home. The roof had been torn off and all the years harvest that her father and brothers had gathered so patiently had been burned or trampled under foot by the horses of the soldiers; the cattle had all been killed; there were signs of desolation everywhere; and as Jeanne turned away from the pitiful sight there came a stirring at her heartstrings and a rush of memories as she thought of her dream
 Yes, she would obey the voice of God and save France if she could; and all at once the child became an earnest, thoughtful girl. She had told no one of this dream but When she was lying wide awake at dead of night, in the little room she shared with Baby Catherine, 1t came to her again and again. this wild, passion ate longing to save France. She would sit in her quiet corner, too, and listen eagerly to the tales of war and bloodshed brought by the chance travellers who stopped over night at her fathers house
 With the other children she still played games and laughed and sang around the fairy tree; but when alone with her flock she would sit absorbed, her knitting dang ling. forgotten in her hand, her dreamy eyes looking far across the devastated fields.

Strength of Human Hair

TTUH dH IlACIdIIBt.
 A human hair of average thickness. so laboratory experiments show, can support load of 6A ounces, and the average number of hairs on the head is about 30,000. A womans long hair has total tensile strength of more than five tons, and this strength can be increased one-third by twisting the hair. The ancients made practical use of the strength of human hair. The cords of the Roman catapults were made of the hair of slaves, and it is recorded that the free women of Carthage offered their luxuriant tresses for the anne use when their city was besieged by the Romans.

THE MAID OF DREAMS.
How Little Jeanne d'Arc Was Differ
 ent From Other Peasant Girls.
From the st. Nicholas Magazine.

From the St. Nicholas Magazine.
 The simple, everyday tasks of little Jeanne d'Arc were like those of the other peasant girls. In the morning she helped spinning; later she would follow the plough with her father and often she would take her flock of sheep far away to graze, and she would sit and watch them, weaving weird fancies, and as the years passed a strange gift came to her the gift of seeing ahead; 1t did not come at once, but little by little her compan- ions noticed that Jeanne would talk of to- morrow or the day after. or a week thence, as If it were that very day. The little maid herself scarcely took heed of this, but, as she watched her flock a hope sprang up in her heart that France would some time be free, that help would surely come And then, when Jeanne was 9 years old, came the dream of dreams that meant so much to France.
 Not a hundred yards below the Forest of Oak stood a deserted hermitage in which there was little chapel. Near by were rich pasture lands, and here Jeanne loved to bring her flock, because while they grazed she could go into this quiet place and think and pray, for Jeanne was a pious child, and a chapel was meant for prayer. It was so restful and still that often the tired little girl would close her eyes and sleep would steal upon her. And one day ehe dreamed that God spoke to her and commanded her to leave her flock and her work at home her par ents and brothers and sister. and all her little friends in Domremy, and go forth to help France and the king.
 So vivid was the dream, so deep and reverberating the voice, that Jeanne awoke with a start and sat up, rubbing her bewildered eyes. It had grown quite dark in the chapel, and over the distant hills sounded the warning rumble of thunder; that was surely what she had heard in her dream. So, gathering her flock she set out for home, to get under shelter before the storm broke. But the vision stayed with her, and the child kept thinking sadly of her France, torn by
