cleanlnn Rife Barrels.

The best way to clean the barrel OF
a rife is to get a ''pull-through." This
is a piece of cord which win pass
through the barrel, with a weight at
one end, and two loops at the other.
In the loop nearer the weighted end
place a piece of oily rag, and draw
this through the rife barrel until 1t is
clean. This is the method used in
the army. The following are two easy
methods of cleaning guns and rifles
If a muzzle-loader, stop up the nipple
or communication hole with a little
wax; or, If a breach-loader, insert a
cork In the breeeh rather tightly next
pour some quicksilver into the bar
rel, and put another cork in the muz-
zle; then proceed to roll 1T up and
down the barrel. shaking 1t about for
a few minutes. The mercury and the
lead will form an amalgam, and leave
the barrel as clean and free from lead
as the first day 1t came out of the
shop. The same quicksilver can be
used repeatedly by straining II
through wash leather; for the lead
will be left behind in the leather, and
the quicksilver will be again fit for
use,

MISSOURI SAYS WE MAY SAY
DAMN TO LAZY HELLO GIRLS

The public service commission of
the state of Missouri, perhaps in an
effort TO make the commonwealth
safe for democracy" has announced
its decision that a telephone subscriber
who is dissatisfied with the service
rendered may so declare, even with
emphasis, to the operator at Cen
trail" 1t appears that one individual
probably without provocationl- at
tempted to indulge this assumed
right, and was promptly deprived Of
any service at all. Now his telephone
is to be reinstated, and with it a con-
tinuing license TO assert his inalien-
able rights. 1t is not unlikely, how
ever that the experience has been as
valuable to the subscriber as to the
company. One seldom upbraids him
self for having said too little.-[The

Queer Sort of Butter.

A queer sort of butter is obtained in
Trinidad, where cows and cream are
scarce This butter is the touchdown
fat OF a bird called the g%uacharo. The
Illustrated World says that this bird
lives In the darkest caves, and seldom
is seen in the daylight. The young
birds are extremely plump and from
them Is obtained rich fat, the natives
very good substitute for butter. The
birds are taken from their nests when
two or three weeks old. After they
are killed, they are put on to boil, not
in water, but in their w fat. The
natives experience some difficulty In
getting at the nests of the ~guaeharo,
for they must creep through ana
wade through stagnant pools to reach
their prey. The ~full-grown %guacharo Is
so timid that no one ever has been able
to photograph a living specimen.

"The Grape of Brazil"

A notable feature of gardens within
a certain area about Rio de Janeiro Is
the jaboticaba tree. The delicious fruit
is often known as 'the grape of Bra
zil' on account of its appearance, ana.
as described in q bulletin OF the United
States department of agriculture, Is
conspicuous from its peculiar habi or
growing directly upon the bark, not
only of the small limbs but even OF
the trunk and exposed roots. The tree,
growing to a height of 35 to 40 feet,
branches freely close to the ground,
spreading into a symmetrical leafy top
of great beauty. The flowers, produced
singly and In clusters, often cover the
entire bark above the ground. n
fruit develops rapidly to a diameter OF
half an inch to an inch and a half, has
a deep maroon-purple color, is covered
with a thick, rather tough skin charged
with ~coloring matter and much tannin.
and contains the translucent juicy
pulp, having an agreeable vinous ia
vor suggestive of the Muscatine grape.
One to four fiattened oval seeds, a
quarter of an inch long, are inclosed
in this pulp. The fruit tempts one to
eat indefinitely, the complaint being
that 1t is impossible to satisfy ones
appetite on jaboticabas.

Nine. Jonre.

All Parisians are familiar with the
small mansion occupied by Marshal

feet harmony. Thanks to the radiat'
ing kindness of Nine. Joffre, her hus-
band always found In their home
regularity, rest, relaxation, Joy, says
the Bookman. Like most French
wives, Nine. Joffre Is animated, cheer
full, modest, industrious, possessed of
a sober elegance and an affection for
her home which makes her put II
above everything else. In the midst
of celebrity she has always Stunned
notoriety and she sought refuge from
the tributes won by her excellent
heart and illustrious name in work, in
the peaceful seclusion of the family.
1t is said that the dream of the couple
Is to buy, after the war is over, a mo-
tor houseboat, and thus to cruise
anonymously along the rivers of their
beloved France TO which the marshal
will have been the first to give the
assurance of victory.

Eternal Niallance.

Walk through the fields or along the
edge of the woods. however, quietly,
and the insects in the grass, the min
nows in the stream, the mice amid the
fallen leaves, the chipmunks In the
stone wall, the birds and squirrels in
the trees, skurry away or shrink into
hiding until you pass. If you go nois-
lily the panic will be greater and more
widespread. Field-naturalists and ang-
lers know that only when they keep
quiet and m~otionless can animal life be
seen and studied effectively.
These facts do not imply any special
fear OF man. as man they simply show
the feeling in every animals mind that
everything alive, and especially every
thing larger than itself. is to be feared
and avoided until 1t is known to be
harmless or Is safely escaped.

The old Dutch masters discovered that,

WAR COSTLY NOW
Artillery Expense of Modern Army
Corps $780, 900 a Day.
Outlay In Gun Metal and Powder Is
Heavy and Vast Amount Of Ma
teriaI Is Required for
the Trenches.

When 1t is remembered that there
are today under arms more than a.
100000 soldiers In the European war.
the immensely Of the task Of keeping
them supplied with the munitions
with which they wage war will ap-
pear. 1t has been estimated that 1t
costs approximately 500 to outfit a
soldier. Of this $25 goes for a gun
and $35 for his 1000 rounds of car
tridges. The average life of a uniform
under modern service conditions is
very short; that of the ordinary rifle
is six months. In all Of the history
of war there never has been such a
rapid exhaustion of all Of the materi-
ais with which it is made, says the Ma
tional Geographic Society Bulletin.
A 75-centimeter gun can fire about
400 projectiles a day. Each of these
projectiles costs approximately So.
Counting this and the depreciation of
the gun, which is particularly rapid,
the daily outlay for Its operation
amounts to $2,700. 1t Is estimated that
the 40 75-centimeter cannon in an
army corps, fired all day, cost In mu-
nitions and depreciation 100000. In
addition to this, each army corps has
about forty pieces of heavy artillery.
Explosives and depreciation for a sim
gle days work for them totals $780,
600, making the total artillery expense
of an army corps $4,000 a day.
II the outlay in gun metal and pow
der is heavy, Ii is no more SO than the
outlay for materials demanded by the
present necessities of trench warfare.
An officer who has studied this phase
of the present war carefully says that
to put a trench in a state fit for occu-
patton in winter requires 100000
running feet of 3 by 3 timber, $4,000
running feet of corrugated iron, $780,
600 sandbags weighing 1000 tons and
$4,000 standards and pickets to the
mile. In addition to this. 900 miles
of barbed wire has to be used, weigh
ing 10 tons. When one stops to re-
call the hundreds of miles of trenches
which stretch across Europe in diff
ferent directions and how often sec
tons of these trenches have to be re-
built, he can gain some idea of the
tremendous amount of material re-
CURED In their Quitting.
Another picture of the vastness of
the munitioning trade and the i'm
menssty of the task of keeping the
armies in the field and in fighting con-
dition may be had from the statement
that there are now more than 1900 con-
trolled munition plants In Great Brit
ain alone. OF these 10 out of 20 new
er produced war materials before the
war broke out. They employ nearly
100000 men and nearly 10000 wom-
en-. The vastness of the industry in
England is not out of proportion to
that in France. Although Germany
holds 20 per cent of Frances coal and
some so per cent of its iron, France
has been able, by the opening up of
new furnaces and by immense impor-
tations of ore and pig metal, largely
to overcome this handicap.

STATE SAMPLING
MILLS ARE URGED

PHOENIX. Ariz-, Nov. 24.-The
commission authorized by the last
legislature to investigate the alleged
need OF a state smelter has not yet
completed its work. Sentiment in
the mining districts has changed
much since the state smelter pro-
ject was first preached
Consideration of the matter has
brought about the almost general
belief that it is not a smelter that
is needed so much az sampling mills
distributed over the state for the
concentration Of the ores of small
producers The large reduction in
shipping costs to smelter that would
thus be obtained together with the
saving of metal values that would
otherwise be lost and the certainty
