An artist should consider facts about
the masters Of his profession calmly
and thoughtfully. He may reach valu-
able conclusions about himself. A
certain musical composer OF much
taIent-we will call him Smithkins-
has happy appreciation Of his own
work, as his friends all know. So
highly does he appreciate the compo-
sitions Of Smithkins that one OF his
friends was much startled the other
day when he said grayely:
Did you ever notice that the names
of all the great composers begin with
-M?''
"M'" calculated the astonished
nearer.
Yes, M I" said the composer.

The Gazette feels sincerely sorry
for folks who can not endure the noise
made by children at play Something

under the sun that should quicken the

that the children should play. regard

You will find plenty of good locations.

When the gallant Welsh captain, Da vid Gam, was sent forward by Henry ". to reconnoiter the French army be- fore the battle of Agincourt he found that the enemy outnumbered the Eng. fish by about five to one. His report to the king is historic:
 '"rhere are enough to be killed enough to be taken prisoners and enough to run away"

CURIOUS ORIGIN OF A LAW.

it Was Passed in England on Account
 of Peter TheLlusson's Will.
 Tbe Thellusson law. once enacted by the British government. was law to regulate the disposition of property by will and to prevent the excess.Se' accumulation of estates. It had a GU rious origin.
 On the 27th of July. 1707. one Peter rhellusson. an English merchant of French birth. died in London. leaving certain sum to his widow and chil dren and the remainder of his property, then amounting to several hundrel thousand dollars. to trustees to ac, cumulate during the lives of his cbil dren. grandchildren and great grand children living at the time of his death and the survivors of them The ac. emulation would have Deen enormous
 The will was contested. but was he'd valid. In order. however. to prevent such a disposition of property in the future, parliament passed what was called the Thellusson act. or accumula, tions nct. regulating and limiting be- guests in such way as to make great accumulations impossible. When Peter Thellusson's last sur viying grandson died. in 1856. Gues, tion arose as to whether the eldest male descendant or the male desceDd' ant of the eldest son should inherit the property, and this question was de cided on appeal by the house of lords in June. 1850 The Thellusson will and the legislation growing out of it were subject of much discussion by law yers.-- Pittsburgh Press.

Preparatlon of Parchment

Parchment is the skin of sheep or other animals prepared in sheets to render them fit for being written upon. The heavier parchment. used for drum. heads. is made from the skins of asses, older calves. wolves and goats. All these are similarly prepared. The skin. being freed from tue hair. is placed in | lime pit to cleanse it from fat. The pelt is then stretched upon frame. care being taken that the surface is free from wrinkles The flesh is pared off with a circular knife, after which 1t is moistened and whiting spread over it. Then the workman. with a large pumice stone. rubs the skin. He next goes oyer 1t with an iron instrument and rubs 1t carefully with pumice stone without chalk. Finally the skin is gradually dried. tightening being occa- sionally required.

ORIGIN OF THE PERlSCOPE.
The Reneeting Spygiass Used at the
 Sieae cf Sebastopol.


 Speaking Of the origin of the peri scope. the following extract from the writings of the well known inventor of Peppers Ghost" gives the credit to the clerical profession. Pepper wrote, soon after the Crimean war:
 During the siege of Sehlstopoi nun bers of our best artiIlerym.n were con- tiiually picked off by the enemy's rifles ns well as by cannon shot. and in order to put stop te the foolhardiness and inrautiousness of the men. very in- geni0us contrivnnce was invented by the Rev. William Taylor. the coadju tor of MT. Denison in constructing the first Big Ben bell. It was called the rcf1ecting spygiass. and by it's simple the sailors and soldiers who would look over the parapet or other parts of the works to observe the effect of their shots perfectly unnecessary. while an. other form was constructed for the purpose of allowing the gunner to lay or aim his gun in safety
 ''The instruments were shown to Lord Panmure. who was so convinced of the importance of the invention that he immediately commissioned the Rev, William Taylor to have number of these telescopes constructed. and If the siege had not terminated just at the time the invention was to have been used no doubt a great saving of the valuable lives of the skilled artil- ierymen would have been effected" London Express.

THE WHIP IN RIFLE BARRELS.
1t is Caused by the Pressure of Mod.
 ern High Power Powder.

tt is Caused by the Pressure of Mod.
 ern High Power Powder.
 The use of high power powder in ri fes has given rise to phenomenon which did n0t exist in black powder days. This i. known us ''whip' and is due to the pressure and vibration set up by the powder. It is constant witt, given loads and is always in the same direction.
 Sights are aligned by the manufac. t,Her to compensate for this whip in proportion ito the powder charge used In firing auxiliary cartridges 1t will of ten be found that the rife shoots of center. AS d matter of fact the bullet from the auxiliary is travelling in a true line with the bore, and 1t Is the sights that are wrong. The lighter charge of the auxiliary does not pro duce the usual whip. with the result that the line in prolongation of the bore of the rife along which the bullet travels is not the line given by the alignment of the sights.
 Two other rifle terms that must not be confused are upsettage and keyhol ing. Keyheling is the tendency of the bullet to turn over ill flight. while up settage is the slight shortening of the t1l2 jOr axis of the bullet due to the force of the charge. It was peculiar tu black powder fired behind lead bullets and does not exist to any nppreciable extent in metal jacketed bullets with smokeless powder. In the latter case the charge burns more slowly and the jacket stiffens the bullet against the sudden blow from behind.-Outing.
