Tho Gannon of Crimean Days.
The cannon of Crimean Days were
mounted on woodCn carriages of the
crudest construction; the recoil was not
controlled, but morely limited by a
stout breech ing-rope. Elevation and
training were given by moving the
gun and carriage by common wooden
handspikes, and tho gun was run out,
after being loaded, by side tackles.
Every operation was performed by the
simple and direct application of man
ual labor, and the number of men told
off to work a thirty-two pounder gun
of not more than three tons weight was
fourteen, and they all had hard work
to perform. With the modern gun of
more than double the weight Just half
the number of men are required. The
gun captain, or number one, aims and
fires, and, unassisted, elevates and
trains the gun with the greatest ease
and nicety up to tht moment of firing;
kho gun runs out automatically after
recoil. The only operation that re
quires any expenditure of force is the
actual loading of -the gun, and that is
reduced to a minimum.
No Such Thine:.
Tho quality of ondurance of or indifference
to what in other men produces shock or re
pulsion is said to belong to men without
nerves. ThOre is no such thing and cannot
be. The finer tho phyaioal development the
keener perhaps is the sensibility to pain.
Lot neuralgia put on its harness for a raid
and get after such men, tho nerves will be
found nil quivering at once. And so this
malady works, a creeping ugly foo to health
bent on torture and misery, until it meets its
antipathy, St. Jaoobs Oil, which cures and
conquers, quiekly, surely. J

TRAPPING IVILY MIfSKRATS
MORE THAN 100,000 PELTS USED IN
NEW YORK ANNUALLY.
Tliqy Do Duty as a Cheap Substitute
for Sealskin Wisdom of the
Muskrat as a House Builder.
FURRIERS of Now York
City," said one of them
in tho Now York Sun, "buy
more than 100,000 musk
rat skins every winter, and that isn't
more than thoy need to supply tho de
mand for imitation sealskin gloves,
caps, muffs, boas, trimmings and
other articles in that line. If the
muskrat was as big as the fjir seal its
pelt would bo readily worth §25 to
tho trapper, instead of fifteen or
twonty cents, as now.
"Thoro is no other fur that resem
bles the sealskin so closely, and there
in- lies its value to the furrier, for it
makes a handsome but cheap substi
tute for mat costly fur in many ways.
The fur is always sold for what it is,
but purchasers of articles made from
it usually refer to them as their seal
skin so-and-so.
"Tho beaver alone excels tho musk
rat in ingenuity and system in its do
mestic arrangements. In building its
house the muskrat selects a spot in
the low marsh land which will be
flooded at high tide. Tho site for its
house selected, tho muskrat tunnels
from tho bank of the stream or lagoon,
boginning below the edge of tho water
at ebb tide, a passage underground to
the spot where its house is to be.
Then iho bußy animal cuts with its
teeth the broad, strong stalks and
leaves of the flag and tho long, coarse
grass which form tho principal veg
etation of the marshes. Dragging
them to the building site the muskrat
braids and twists the flags and grasses
togethor in circular form, and builds
them layer upon layer, gradually nar
rowing the stiuoturo until a firm,
cono-shaped house is tho result. This
is further strengthened and made
comfortable by the liberal intermix
ture of mortar made from tho marsh
mud, with which tho muskrat plasters
its house inßide and out. Tho only
entranco to tho house is the subter
ranean passage from tho bank of tho
stream, the ground floor being on a
level with that tunuol.
"The interior of a muskrat's hou3o
is always divided into two floors or
studies. Sometimes it will havo as
many as four. These aro led to by a
chamber built around the inner edge
of tho house, and rising liko a spiral
stairway. Tho number of stairs to the
houso nro regulated by tho hoight to
which tho tido rises. Tho muskrat ex
pects and wants tho ground floor to
be flooded, but thero must always bo
a dry rocm at tho top of tho houso to
which tho occupants may retire in
time of high water. Dwellers near
streams that aro not affectod by tho
tido, but aro liablo to heavy froshets,
often look for warning of high water
to tho way tho muskruta build their
houses in tho fall. If tho houses aro
mado high abovo tho levol, it is a sure
sign that thoro aro to bo floods somo
time during tho season.
"Tho interior of tho muskrat's
dwolliug is warmly lined with dry
grasses and leavos, and frequently as
as many as half a dozen muskrats will
inhabit ono house. Tho reason that
this wiso little auimal in constructing
its dwelling enginoors so that its
ground floor and tho tunnel aro always
undor water is that thereby it bus an
exit in oaso an enemy assail its house,
and an ontranoo if au onemy pursuo,
which is hidden from sight, and lends
greatly to tho safoty of tho muskrat in
either case. But tho iastiuct of tho
animal doos not warn it ngaiust tho
traps that its greatest and most per
sistent enemy places at this hidden
entranco and exit, changing it from
away to liberty and safety to a path
way to certain death.
"During tho day tho muskrat ro
mains hidden in its house, unless tho
day is cloudy and dark. At night it
goos forth to feed on tho juicy roots
of wntcr grasses and plants. Tho
muskrat is duiuty at its meals, and
will not put its mouth to a root until
it washes nway every partiolo of mud
from it. A great many muskrats aro
killed on moonlight nights by huuters
who hide on tho bauks and lio in wait
for tho littlo fur bearers as they como
out of tho water and prepare for
feeding. But the wooden traps
are what reap the biggest crop
of muskrats. The traps aro placed
at tho tunnel ontrancos of tho animals'
dwellings, and whethor tho muskrat is
going out to feed or has boon out and
is coming home, it swims into tho trap
jnst the samo. If this animal when
caught had time, it could easily gnaw
its way out of [tho trap, but beforo
that can bo accomplished the muskrat
drowns. A whole colony of muskrats
may bo takou iu a single trap in quo
night, and tho trapper who lias out
many of tho traps is sure to gather a
rich yield ovory night. It is not an
uncommon thing for a Maryland musk
ratter to oapturo 100 pelts of a night.
"On windy days a great many of
these animals aro killed by spoaring.
The muskrat has a most acute sense of
hearing, and the craoking of a dry
flag lyaf a liundreil yards away on u
still day is suflloiont to alarm a honso
ful of tho rats and send thora soamper
ing Out into tho water for safoty.
When tho wind blows strong and at
high tide tho muskrattcr arms himself
with a gig, tho long iron tires of which
will roach from top to bottom of tho
muskrat's nost. Approaching a nest
with great caution, ngainst tho wind,
tho hunter jabs his spear into it. Cud
dled togcthor in tho upper part of tho
houso may bo half a dozen muskrats.
Leaving tho spour sticking in tho nest,
tho muskrattcr knooks tho roof off.
Frequently ho will find tliroo or moro
muskrats impaled on his spear.
"Another profitable method of tak
ing, tho muskrat, and ono that has
many elements of good sport in it, is
the shooting of the animals at night.
Tho hunters courso in bonts slowly
along tho stroams or bayous, some
times throwing a light ahead olfchom
from a jack, but generally trusting to
thoir own trained eyes nud tho light of
the stars and moon. They detect in
stantly tho ripple on tho water that
botrays the swimming muskrat, and it
is seldom that the report of u gun does
not mean a muskrat less.
"Soasonß of unusual tides and floods
are best for tho hunters and trappers,
for then tho mnskrats are forcod to
loavo their dwellings in spito of tho
instinct they aro alleged to have in
guarding against just such a calamity,
and they aro compelled to seek safety
in tho open country. Their hiding
places aro easily found, and they aro
slaughtered by day aud night."

Story ol tlio Gravels.
Somo ten thousand or more years
ago tho conditions which had brought
about tho Great Ico Ago wero begin
ning to change; tho elevated land
began to sink, and a higher tempera
ture slowly followed. Tho long win
ter was gradually drawing to u oloso,
and tho groat spring timo of the world
was beginning to hasten its influence
upon an iee-eovored land. Tons,
rather mountains, uf ieo begau to
melt, and tho water filled tho river
valleys to overflowing; gravel, sand
and mud wero borne nlong by theso
raging waters and dopositod wbonover
tho conditions wore favorable. leo
rafts covered tho surfaoe of the flood,
bearing rocks and boulders from moro
northern lands.
All rivers which had glaoial souroos
wero tsreatty inuttenood by tho final
melting. As tho southern part of tho
ice-sheet rested over Northern
Pennsylvania, the Delawnro and tho
Susquehanna were typical rivers of
the age; the rocks and gravols which
Hue their banks show how woll they
havo kept tho record.
In tho Delaware Valloy briok-clay

terraces, especially nt Stroudsburg

roso somo two liundrod foe', and an
artificial dam is supposed to havo
formed tho river into n broad lake.
Tho Indiuns, it is said, bave a curious
legend about this flood ; thoy tell us
that tho "Minsies" wore tho first raoo
which dwolt here, and tho rogion
round about tboy call "Minisink,"
meaning that tho "wators are gone"—
a vague remombraueo, perhaps, of tho
post-glacial floods.—Lippincott.

AN INVESTIGATION
DEHANDED.
A general banking business is done by
the human system, because the blood de
posits in its vaults whatever wealth we may
gain from day to day. This wealth is laid
up against "a rainy day " as a reserve fund
—we're in a condition of healthy prosperity
if we have laid away sufficient capital to
draw upon in the hour of our greatest need.
There is danger in getting thin, because it's
a sign of letting down in health. To gain
in blood is nearly always to gain in whole
some flesh. The odds are in favor of the
germs of consumption, grip, or pneumonia,
if our liver be inactive and our blood im
pure, or if our flesh be reduced below a
healthy standard. What is required is an
increase in our germ-fighting strength. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery enriches
the blood and makes it wholesome, stops
the waste of tissue and at the same lime
builds up the strength. A medicine which
will rid the blood of its poisons, cleanse and
invigorate the great organs of the body,
vitalize the system, thrill the whole being
with new energy and make permanent work
of it, is surely a remedy of great value. But
when we make a positive statement that 98
per cent, of all cases of consumption can, if
taken in the early stages of the disease, be
CUR F.D with the 'Discovery," it seems like
a bold assertion. All Dr. Pierce asks is that
you make a thorough investigation and
satisfy yourself of the truth of his assertion.
