HUSBAND FIRES AT WIFE, THEN
 KILLS HIMSELF
Second Bullet Grazes Forehead
 of Their Ten Year Old Son

Galveston. Tex. Dec. 27-Mrs. A. M. Funk, lying wounded in a local hospi- tai and her 10 year old son playing about the yard of an orphanage, to- day, were in ignorance that A. M. Funk. Cleveland, fired the bullets that wounded his wife and that grazed the forehead of the child and a third that ended his own life. They both were made to believe an attack had been made upon them by burglars.
 Funk wrote several letters in which he said he had suffered great mental strain on account of financial difficult ties. He fired upon his wife from be- hind a curtain and she, unconscious from a bullet wound, did not see her husband fire a shot into his own body and fall dead.
 At the request of a. brother of Mrs. Funk, a doctor Dunlap, of Brooklyn, N. Y, the true facts were kept from them:
 While his fathers body lay in the rnorgue and his mother was in the hos pttal, the little son of the Hunks was attending a Christmas dinner with the orphans

Plymouth, Eng, Dec. 27-The terri fife gale that swept the En glish coast continued, today, and many more small craft were reported in disaster.

The Making of Panar.

The fneness to which the rags are ground has no direct influence on the dura bility of the paper, for even brok en cells of linen and hemp remain un- changed for thousands of years in fa- vorable conditions. The employment of strong aikafies and of starch size appears to be the cause of rag paper becoming yellow and brittle, while neu- tral or mildly alkaline treatment and animal size favor durability. Air dry ing favors the durability of paper. Even the best rag papers are injured if not destroyed by soaking or exces- stve dampness. It is impossible to speak with certainty of the durability of modern papers containing few or no rags, as the ultimate effect of the new process of making, sizing, loading and calendering cannot be foreseen. Many new papers have already proved their lack of permanence.-Exchan

Fear conjurer's Presents.

"Jusx once at every performance re- gret my skill as a magician said the conjurer. That is when the little folk call up on the stage to assist me in a certain turn are afraid to accept the bona f1de presents offer them for fear they will go off. At a certain point in the performance request a girl and a boy of ten or thereabout to step up. After an interchange of condolences, in which they tell me their first names, and I tell them mine, we get along swimmingly together until they leave the stage, when I present each with an appropriate present Their ginger ly way of handling 1t tweaks my heart strings painfully. It would please me to possess those youngsters trust and confidence. but my success as a ma gician precludes that. With books and candy held at arms length they tiptoe down the aisle, and, no doubt, every chocolate is nibbled and every page turned in constant terror lest some new trick be sprung on them.''-New York Times.

GunpoWder.

The explosive nature of gunpowder, which is made of charcoal, sulphur and saItpeter, is due to the fact that when fired the charcoal and sulphur are burned at the expense of the oxygen in the saltpeter, much heat is devel- oped and large quantities of gas are produced. This gas exerts great pres sure on the sides of the gun; hence its disrupHve or propulsive effects. When gunpowder is fired in a gun the explo- sion is not instantaneous. The expan- sive force of the gases produced acts on the shot all the time it is moving along the barrel and gradually in creases its velocity. If the explosion were so sudden as to be practically in- stantaneous the greater 9paft of the forces would be exerted mainly on the sides of the chamber containing the powder and not, as is actually the case, on the shot.

The lewiston Charleston Fair Asso-

riety, raised from 25 kernels. The
stalks must be exhibited at the fair,
which opens October for the week,

the basis of 81 for each kernel and
no one is barred. 1t is not expected
that certain kernels should be planted,
but the selections may be made from
the matured fields. 1t is said Orofino
and the Lapwai sections are each ex-
pecting this prize as the former cap
tured the prize last fall at the Spokane
show by exhibiting corn 16 feet h1gh,
nine feet to the ears. 1t is expected
this one feature alone will produce
one of the most remarkable exhibits
ever seen in the northwest.
