The bullet of every cartridge before
being inserted in the rife should be
given a thin coating with an automo-
bile grease This is thick grease Of
about the color and consistency Of
butter. In practice the end Of the car
fridge is stuck in the grease and Ie-
volved until all that part of the bullet
projecting from the shell Is covered
with very thin but uniform coating.
Care must be taken not to get any
grease on the shell. The advantages
of using this grease are threefold-lt
prevents metallic fouing in the bore,
1t increases the accuracy. and 1t great
ly lengthens the life Of the rine.--Lleu-
tenant Townsend Whean In Outing.

Did as He Was Ordered.

A new boy had gone on board a
West India ship. upon which painter
had also been employed to paint the
ships side The painter was ut work
upon a staging suspended under the
ships stern.
The captain. who had just got into
boat alongside, called out to the
new boy, who stood leaning over the
rail, Let 90 the painter"
Everybody should know that a
boats painter is the rope which makes
II fast. but this boy did not know it.
He ran aft and let go the ropes by
which the painters staging was held
Meantime the captain was wearied
with waiting to be cast Off.
you rascal he called. why don't
you let 90 the puinter?"
Hes gone, sir" said the boy brisk
ly. He's gone-pots, brushes and air

oriain Of cemeterIes.

In ancient times burials were always
outside the walls of city or town.
Indeed. before the time Of Christianity
1t was not lawful to bury the dead
within the limits. About the end OF
the sixth century St Augustine OBJ
tanned Of King Ethebert a temple of
idols-used by the king before his con-
version-and made burying place of
it, and st. Cuthbert afterward obtained
leave of the pope "a. d. 752D to have
yards made to the churches suitable
for the burial of the dead.

Where the southern states and the
famous southern song derived the title
Dixie" il told in the history Of the old
Citizens bank Of New Orleans, which
the London Financial Times gives,
Prior to the war between the states
the bank, which had power to issue
paper notes. put out several millions of
dollars in denominations Of $40 and
500 The ten dollar bills were engrav-
ed in French, with the word Dix"
ten prominently featured on the back.
The bills became known as "DiXies,"
and, this money becoming popular,
Louisiana became known as "the land
of the DixieS." and at last the term
came to include all the southern states
under the familiar Dixie Land"

Public executioners in England used
to add very considerably to their Off
cial salaries by the extortion of tips
from their victims. and a man Of any
rank was expected to hand his execu-
toner anything from to 80 guineas.
If the tip were liberal enough it was
possible to defeat the ends of justice.
The famous Jack Ketch once confessed
to having accepted 20 guineas from a
notorious criminal in consideration of
which he gave him an opportunity to
slip Off the scaffold and mingle with
the crowd, whereupon Ketch made a
feint Of eursult, seized white faced
little tailor from among the spectators
and strung him up instead.

AS for the legs of Chippendale furni-
ture, especially, of course, his chairs.
he early used the ogee curve and cabri-
ole, the knees of which he carved with
cartouches and leaves or other designs.
The front rail of the chair also was
often carved. There were several
styles of curved legs, such as the cabri-
ole leg Of Dutch influence and the
curved style of Louis XIV. There also
were several variations on the claw
and ball foot. Chippendale in the Di-
rector speaks of red maroon, Spanish
leather, damask tapestry and other
needlework as being appropriate for
the covering of his chairs.-New York

the traveller is shown upon the banks
Of the Tugus below Wamba's palace
the alcove In which La Cava was wont
to bathe until seen by Roderick, and
her fate was none the happiest at the
hands Of the last Of the Goths. To
this day she is referred to as an awful
example of the fate that awaits tRose
who dare to bathe in water too often.
The Spanish woman is sparing in her

"The same sort of honest graft OBJ
tains at almost every cash changing
place in the city where there is net
ting on the cashiers desk to protect
the cash and Il lower bar Of wood to
hold up the netting or glass screen.
This bar of wood or metal runs across
the hand hole for change. The cash
iers have figured out the angle Of vi
sion of all men, short and tall, and the
distance they stand from the desk to
receive their change.
"Say a dollar is changed to take out
30 cents. The accidental short change
artist will push forward the 70 cents
In coin, but his hand will halt one
dime that is hidden from the angle Of
vision Of the man getting change by
the line of the bar over the cash hand

sees and rushes off without one dime,
Always stop, stoop and look If in
doubt.
"And you would be surprised tc

Her husband brought out the coat In

New York, it is stated, has from so to
100 men around the stage during the
production Of an opera, each aiding In
the mechanical success Of the opera.
An idea of the wonderful mechanical
training of the men directing things
behind the curtain is given in the pro-

Geometry was probably born in old
Egypt and was intimately connected
with the art Of surveying. In Egypt,
owing to the annual overflow Of the
Nile it was absolutely necessary to
fix upon some way of keeping track
of the boundary lines between lands,
and out Of that necessity arose the art
Of land surveying. Geometry means
land surveying, and 1t is pretty GER
tain that the science found its chief
impetus, If not its origin, in the art
by which the Egyptians determined
the division lines between their prop
critics and provinces, The Greeks
merely improved what the Egyptians
had begun. Exchange.
