A number of the expert ma chinists that are making them are Englishmen, some of them being me chanical engineers of high ability. Although only about fourteen feet long, these guns are exceptionally well : built, as they aro tired with an excep tionally high explosive. They are ex traordinarily powerful, and In propor tion to destructlveness are said to bo the easiest handled of any gun that is used along the fron.t. In the present drive of General Haig's army these guns are hauled forward by four horses. One of the British guniuakers who is working on them says they have a range of ten miles, and that neither man nor beast will remain alive within a radius of 100 yards of the spot where the shell strikes the ground.

Just comfort ing, soothing relief first a gentle glow, then a delightful sense of cool ness. And best of all, no blisters like the old-fashioned mustard plaster used to make.

By hard work, through many j years, she had saved $20,000, which, ; carefully invested, yielded her SI,OOO a year. Her pleasures were few and inexpensive. With the friend who lived with her, and the two old ladies in the apartment up-stairs she would I play cribbage on Saturday nights, j The four old ladies were very good friends. To her friend, and house- I mate. Miss Prentiss had bequeathed i SB,OOO in her will; the balance of the ' $20,000 she haddivided among her j favorite nephews and nieces, taking j special care that none of the results i of her life work should go to her i worthless and dissolute brother. The two ladies in the apartment above were witnesses to the will. "One night, over an especially ex citing game of cribbage, the four old ladies quarreled, and the following Saturday when Miss Prentiss called up the dumb waiter to invite the two friends down they replied that they would never play with her again. Whereupon Miss Prentiss decided that It was not safe to have these two as witnesses toher will; so she crossed off their names and got two other wit nesses, one of them her house-mate for whom the |B,OOO was designed. "In due course Miss Prentiss died and was gathered to her fathers. The friend presented the will at once for probate, and then the tragedy broke. The substitution of the two witnesses had not been made in legal form, and the entire $20,000 went to tho dis solute brother. "The whole purpose of Miss Pren tiss' life was defeated, because Miss Prentiss tried to do for herself what a lawyer would have done for her at a petty cost."
