FIELD GUNS IX WAR.
THEY ARE THE FAVORITE WEAPONS
AMONG MILITARY MEN.
Thea Lour Kanga Death Dealera Cu Re
Fired With Great Sapidity, A.-, as Ao-
, carax as Rifles at Their Bans cad Ex
ert Tremendous Energy.
The bt'ttrment of tha modern field
fun is fnliy equal to the development
of other branches of military armament
It has been especially rapid within the
last doztn years. The work of special
ist and the. results of extended tests
have ended in the production of a weap
on of preat accuracy and of titanic
force. The field pun of today is the fa
vorite weapon of the military man, and
lie expects from it some very remark
able demonstrations when opportunity
to use it occurs.
Napoleon is credited with the remark
that Providence is always on the side
of the heavy artillery, but the artillery
which Napoleon knew waa not worthy
to be mentioned on the same day with
the lipht, frraceful and deadly am with
which the moderns are prepared to do
slaughter. The first great step forward
was taken when the breechloadiug ac
tion was invented. Well known scien
tific rulea of boring and the improve
ment in projectiles and powders have
done the rest. The field gun now in nso
by the powers is as acturate at its range
as a rifle and has tremendous energy.
The United States has no butter field
guns tlian those with which the armies
of Germany and France are armed; but
they are every bit as good. Like our
other ordnance, they are all made on
this sido of the water. The American
manufacturer yields to no one in ability
to make a perfect weapon. Indeed many
of the chief improvements in field guns
and in the larger sizes, sometimes called
"siege" guns, are the productsof Amer
ican braine.
The field guns of the United States
army are made at Watervliet, Ji. V.,
just as the large guns for the navy and
for coast defense are turned out at
Washington. They have a caliber of a
little more than three inches, are, of
course, breechloading, are rather
lengthy for their width and are lightly
bnt strongly mounted. They use a point
ed shell which explodes either on con
cussion or by time fuse, generally the
former, and are fired with great rapidity.
Each gun of a battery is in command
of a lieutenant, who, ender the eye of
his superior, sights it and directs its
working. He has his elevation, depres
sion and wind gauge formula? at his
fingers' ends, and with him good shoot
ing is mainly a question of care. The
powder nsed in these guns is of the
smaller grained brown hexagonal kind,
though the pheroidal is preferred for
some calibers.
The recoil of this gun on level ground
is 26 feet, with the wheels unlocked.
With the wheels locked it recoils live
feet, and is run forward and resighted
very 6wiftly. Its point blank range is
2, 200 yards. It can be made effective at
a much greater distance, of course, but
officers prefer that range for accurate
shooting.
It fell to me some seven years ago to
report the first field trial given the
Watervliet guns. Three of thrrn were
sent to Fort Sam Houston aPJSan An-'
tonio, where Light Battery F, Third
artillery, was stationed under command
of Major James B. Burbank, a most ca
pable officer, now attached to the staff
of the governor of New York. Major
Burbank was instructed to try them out
thoroughly, and for this purpose select
ed an ideal range cn Oanahl's ranch, 60
miles north of San Antonio.
The guns were planted in line and
20 feet apart on the fide of a green bill
and pointed across a shallow valley.
On the opposite hill, 2,200 yards away,
a tent Cy was put np as a target. It
was 15 by 9 feet in dimension and was
stretched on two poles. At that distance
it looked like nothing in the world so
much as a man's pocket handkerchief.
One shot was fired as a rango finder,
and that shot proved the range was
found. Then the work legan.
For half an hour theso guns pitched
shells through or under or over the tar
get, according to the firing directions,
with as much accuracy as a man would
tu a Winchester rifle at 100 yards.
The work was done with the precision
of a clock. There was the rush of the
jie ?e into its first position, the quick
command to load, the rapid aim and
discharge, the faint scream of the shell,
the puff of smoke and dull report as it
struck and the dust rose up in a pillar.
When it was ended, we rode across
the valley and up the opposite slope to
the spot where the eut f-j had stood.
Bits of it lay about here and there. Chie
of the poles was bitten short off. For
tO yards below the 'other pole, for SO
yards on either side of it and for 100
yards above it the earth was net plowed

It was found that they did not taerome
, unmanageable through heat, tlu;t the
breech mechanism displayed nc sign of
strain, that 'the recoil was not greater
than was calculated and that accuracy
was as perfect with the last shell as
with the first. These findings were re

PLAGUE OF LEGISLATORS.
Why Soma of tha States Ones Bad Tw
Capitals
Baton Rouge freely translated means
red stick. That is the limit Tif my un
derstanding of the affair, however. It
is a quaint old town, consisting chiefly
of river. When I studied geography
several decades ago, I knew that I Louisi
ana had two capitals, one at .New Or
leans and the other at Baton Rouge.
They liave got tired of entertaining
legislators at New Orleans of late years
and have unloaded the whole job upon
the smaller and more nearly defenseless
city.
Looking back to those old days, I re
call that Louisiana was one of the very
few states which required two vents for
their legislatures. Connecticut was one,
with Hartford and New Haven as cap
itals, and Rhode Island, the smallest of
states, was another, with Provideno
and Newport Of late years there has
beon a -sort of centralization of capitals.
The fashion of having one at every en
terprising city in a state has fallen into
disuse. You might tramp all over any
of the states nowadays and not fun the
risk of blundering into a legislature in
full Mast where it might have been
least expected. I asked the Pocatt-llo'
man what he thought was the reason
for the wealth of capitals in earlier
times.
"In those days, ' he said, "the state
were young and tender and had not
fully developed taeir muscle and their
power of resisting great assaults. It
was therefore to distribute the evil of
a legislature sitting over a great deal of
country so as not to give any particular
city the worst of it. As time went on
and a town showed escial hardihood
and ability to stand great calamity the
legislature was switched upon it as u.
perpetual and permanent institution.
New Orleans and Newport and other
towns which iu other days were capitals
had the good luck to draw two aces and
to win out, sending the legislature in
the one instance to Baton Rouge and in
t he ot her to Providence. It takes a garnet
town to stand a persistent plague of
legislature. "Chicago Record.

Some time ago I was at a small vil

dairy.
As is well known, water is a most
essential thing in a dairy. So, being
unable to obtain a sufficient supply from
a wtJl already sunk, it was suggested
to open a disused well uear and try the
water there.
Instructions were given to the men to
be careful on opening the well, as it
might be unsafe to descend on account
of foul air.
They were told to light a candle and
let it down, and if it continued to burn
they would then know that there was
no danger in descending.
On the frilowing day, on asking if it
was safe to go down, one of tho men
replied: "Yes, that's safe enough. I
took the candle down with me, and it
burnt beautifully. " London Globe,

Tha Original Siamcsa Twias.
The sleepy village of Biddenden, not
far from Tenterden, celebrates yearly
the memory of the two maids of that
ancient hamlet who were the original
precursors of the Siamese twins. In life
they were joined together by a mysteri
ous cord of flesh, and they died on the
same day, leaving their, property to be
distributed among the poor of the par
ish and among all who care to apply
for a dole of bread and cheese on Easter
day. This benefaction has been in exist
ence for six or seven centuries, and at
present its value is about $200 a year.
Formerly tho doles consisted of bread
and cheese and ale, but the latter pro
duced so much hilarity in the village
that it was aDiiished, and the charity is
now limited to (he two first, mentioned
nutritive articles. The breafl is made,
up in the form of cakes, bearing a rude
representation of the twin maids of
Biddenden, and are generally preserved
as curiosities by the recipients. They

Sensible Arrangement.
What Si Daniel Lysons believes to
have been tfco first case of a settlement
of an "affair of honor" on the Duke of
Wellington's plan is described by him
in his "Early Reminicences. " It occur
red in Halifax about the middle of the
present century :
One day Captain Evans came to me
boiling over with wrath and indigna
tion. He said he had been g?rs.sly in
sulted by Captain Harvey, the overn
or"s son, and begged me to act as his
friend. I agrwd, provided he promised
to do exactly as I told him. He con
sented. I called on Captain Harvey's friend.
Captain Bourke, and we agreed to abide
by the Duke of Wellington's order about
dueling, which had just then been
promulgated at Halifax.
We carried out our intention as fol
lows: We made each of our principals
write out his own version of what bad
fxvurrcd. We then chose an umpire.
We selected Colonel Horn of the Twen
tieth regiment, a clear headed and much
re-iected officer. With his approval we
sent him the two statements, and be
directed us to come to his bouse the fol
lowing morning with our principals.
At the appointed time we arriw! and
were shown into the dining room. We
bowed formally to each other across the
table and awaited the appearance of our
referee. Colonel Horn soon entered, and,
addressing our principals, said:
"Gentlemen, in the first place, I must
thank yon for having made my duty so
light. Nothing could be more open,
generous cr gentlemanlike than your
statements. The best advice I can give
yon is that you shake hands and forget
that the occurrence has ever happened. "
They at out walked up to each other
and shook hands cordially. They were

Monitors and Torpedo Boats.
A monitor is a peculiar battleship,
having a low freeboard, light draft and
flush deck and guns mounted in heav
ily armored revolving turrets placed on
the deck. A monitor is a floating but
tery more than a ship and derives its
name from the first of the class ever
constructed, which battled with tho
Confederate ironclad Merrimac in
Hampton Roads. The original Monitor
was described as resembling a great
cheesebox on a plank, bnt it did vain
able service and revolutionized naval
warfare, I
Torpedo boats are the racers among
the war vessels. They are swift, small
craft, designed to launch torpedoes near
urge vessels. In order to do its work
properly the torpedo boat must go close
to the object of iU destructive designs,
and having placed the instrument of
destruction in position its next object
is to get away and out of the reach of
the enemy. A torpedo boat must be
small, and the men who form its small
crew must bo absolutely fearless.
A torpedo boat catcher is designed
expressly to catch or to destroy torpedo
boats. In order to be fitted for tho work
the boats are larger than the torpedo
boats. They can make better tiruo and
carry heavier armament. New York

We have opened one which contained
a trout of almost his own size, while
another contained a shad nearly as
large. Still others are found having
within themselves one or more of their
own species of smaller size. But their
destrnctiveness does not end here. We
have seen them behind a school of shad,
spot or menhaden, and sometimes schools
of mackerel and cod, snapping and
slashing their prey until the water was
all a-foam. They eat until they can hold
no more, but their viciousness is not
abated. With a snap a shad is cundered
and spit out, and the next shares the
same fate. They never tire, and the fish
destroyed, but unbeaten, cover the sur

A Novelty In Bells.
Herr Apiunn of Hanau has invented
a bell of a new shupe, which is said to
have a very deep toue and to be as pow
erful as considerably heavier bells cf
the form at preseut in vogue. The snape
is peculiar, being hemisp'yrieal, while
the metal is uniform in .nickness ex
cept near the "sound bow" (or -the
thickened tip which the clapper strikes).
From the edge to some little distance
above the sound bow the metal is very
thick, and then alters suddenly to the
uniform thickness which it has for the
rest of the bell. Invention.

Aalntal Drunkards,
Most of the higher animals as mon
sjeys, elepl tints, bears, horses and dogs
bave a natural fondncas for fermented
liquors, and suffer from the abuse of
these liquors as men da From the book
cf Maccabees it is evident that war ele
phants were maddened of old with new
wine, as they bave been and are with
arra k down to the present time. Man
agers of menageries and fmplT,ees at
tho various zoological gardens know
that the elephants Tinder their care are
prepared to go ou a wild drunk when
ever opportunity offers. Whisky is offi
cially given tbem when they are ill or
low the quantity varying from five to
ten gallons, according to the require
ments of the case. This is put into their
drinking water. Bears and monkeys
drink beer like German students, and
love whisky equally well
In Africa the natives make use of this
evil trait to capture their poor relations.
The monkeys there are extremely fond
of a beer brewed by the natives. So
the latter place quantities of the liquor
within easy reach of the monkeys and
wait until their victims are thoroughly
befuddled. In this state they are unable
to recognize the difference between ne
gro and ape. When the negro tal es tho
hand of one of them to lead him off, a
second monkey takes tho baud of the
first a third tlsjt of the second, and so
on. A single negro may sometimes be
seen carrying off a string of staggering
monkeys. Fresh doses of beer in de
creasing quantities are administered to
tho captives, so that they may only
gradually awaken to the sad results of
their spree Li ppincott's.
Belgian and German Farmlna;.
In Belgium a two aero holding is
sufficient to maintain a fanner and his
family. The typical two acre farm in
that country contains a patch of wheat
cr rye and another of 'barley. Another
fair portion grows potatoes. A row of
cabbage grows all round on the sloping
sides of the ditches, with a row of on
ions just inside, leaving bare walking
room between them and the grain. The
shade trees round the house are pear
trees. Every foot of land is made to
produce, and the farmer keeps pigs and
chickens.
In Germany, out of C,276,000 farms,
l.IWa.OOO, or 23 per cent of the whole,
are each under 2J acres in extent and
of tho farms above 06 per cent are cul
tivated by the owner himself, over 28
per cent partly so, or about 85 per cent
altogether, leaving 15 per cent out of
every 100 per cent that are let to ten
ants. In Germany, notwithstanding
this Email size of a large proiortion of
the farms, 178 out of every 1,000 inhab
itants are nevertheless engaged iu agri
culture, whereas in England no more
than 52 aro thus occupied, in Scotland
only 61, though 195 per 1,000 in Ire
land being thus engaged raises the pro
portion ir. the whole United Kingdom
to 73 out ff that number, less thf.n
half, however, the percentage so em
ployed in Germany.

Membei-s are not allowed to refer to
each other by name in debate. The only
member who is properly addressed Ly
name is t be chairman who presides over
the le!ibi 'rations of the honse in com
mittee. On a member rising to sicak in
committee he begins with "Mr. Low
ther," and not with "Mr. Chairman,"
as at put lie meetings. When the speak
er U in the chair, the formula is "Mr.
Speaker, sir."
In debate a member is distinguished
by the cfiice he holds, as "the right
honorable gentleman the chancellor cf
tho exchequer," or by the constituency
he represents, as "the honorable gentle
man the member for York." Some
make uso of the terms "My honorable
friend" or "My right honorable frk-ud. "
In case of family relatious the same
form is usually observed. Occasionally
"My honorable relative" or "My right
honorable relative" is heard, but "My
right honorable father" or "My right
honorable brother," though no doubt
allowable, has not been hitherto used.

story of Professor Herkonier: "Hisaged
father, who lived with him in his splen
did borne at Bushney, used to model
clay in his early life. He has recently
taken to it again, but his fear is that
soon his hands will lose their skill and
his work will show the marks of im
perfection. It is his one sorrow. At
night he goes to his early rest, and
when he has gone his talented son goes
to his studio, takes up his father's feeble
attempts and makes the work as beauti
ful as art can make it When the old
man comes down in the morning, ho
takes the work and looks at it and rubs
his hands and says, 'Ha, I can do as
well as 1 ever did. ' "

1. Always confine the cows in the
stable to le milked. It is In-tter than
having them chase oue another around
the yard.
2. Have the stable clean, and have
the cows clean, or you can't get clean
milk. Lime and whitewash for walls
and its is a good thing, laud plas
ter is a good absorbent in the stable.
3. Before commencing to milk, brush
all loose dirt from the sides and udder
of the cow.
4. After a little manipulation of the
teats and udder, the milk is ready to
"come down." Then is the time to
take it, and do not delay.
4 Milk as rapidly as possible with
out Irritatiog of worrying the cow.
6. No definite rule can be given as
to bow the teats should be handled in
milking, as cows differ and hands dif
fer so much; but be sure of one thing
please the cow if possible.
7. There should always be a friendly
feeling between the cow and the milk
er, and milkers should not be changed
if it can be avoided.
8. A cow will not "give down" her
milk to a milker she hales or is afraid
of, and what she does give will be defi
cient in butter-fat.
9. Always milk a cow iu the same
manner, at about the same time and
speed. Any change will irritate and
tend to excite her.
10. Always milk in the same order
and at the same time of dtsy.
11. When it comes to a cow's turn
to be milked, she knows it, and expects
it, and wants to be milked.
12. If you disappoint her, and milk
half an hour later, the chances are that
you will get less aud poorer milk than
if you milked at the proper time.
1:5. Always milk the cow dry before
leaving her, but do not continue strip
ping after the milk is all drawn.
14. If part of the milk is left at each
milking in the udder, nature will soon
stop providing it because it is not taken.
1 j. The last milk drawn from a cow
is much richer than the first. The bast
tmart usually contains more than three
times as much butter-fat as the first

been cured by this medicine
Men, women and children, who have
sutlered the consequences of impure
blood, who have been the victims of
scrofula sores, eruptions, dyspepsia,
nervousness, sleeplessness.
They have tried other medicines and
have failed to obtain relief. They tried
Hood's Sarsaparilla ami it did them
good. They persevered in its use and
it accomplished permanent cures. lo
you wonder that they praise it and
recommend it to you?
