THEIR MEANING EXPLAINED BY A QUALIFIED EXPERT. Creusot and Krupp Guns and Maxi-Nordviken: The Use of Shrapnel, Case Shot and Shell-Diffuser in the Eiffeld and Mauser Rifles. A Collection of Bits of Information Interesting in View of the South African War. There are many terms and phrases used in the description of the war in South Africa which convey little or no information to many of those at home who are deeply interested in making out what is happening to their loved ones engaged in the field. An immense number of people are now deeply interested in the events the war who want simple common sense explanations about the terms they read, such as "Creusot," "Krupp," "Shrapnel," "Common Shell," "90-pounders," "4-Finch guns," "Mausers," "Lice We have been told that the Boers have brought up some very heavy guns to fire upon Ladysmith and in Mafeking, but there is a dispute as to whether they were guns, and I want first to explain what the discussion means, says Mali, Gen. Mauria in the Nineteenth Century, Crusot or "Le Crusot" is a place in the depot of Sion-cat et Malie, where they have its extensive iron works. It does not follow, however, that a "Crusot" gun was made at Crusot, because that name is now applied to all the guns that are man-made, actuated by the machine and owned by & Co., who in 1853 became possessed of the works at Crusot, when, after being employed by the state under the revolutionary government for the manufacture of guns, were under the empire handed over to the Crusot. The Crusot made themselves by being the first firm fully to apply and adapt to the manufacture of both plates for armored ships and guns various inventions, chiefly English, notably the great armor of the British empire of manufacture of steel. From that time onward their works have been steadily developed. They have applied new processes to manufacture, including the improvement of the quality of which in its raw material the British empire possesses almost a monopoly to the improvement of the quality of the other. They have become the owners of a vast array of ground in the neighborhood of the Crusot's workshops almost on as huge a scale as their works at Crusot. Thus, when we have grown our knowledge of what we know of whatever size made by the great French firm of Schnelder & Co., whether it has in fact been made at Crusot or at On the other hand, a "Krupp" gun means that the gun has been made by the great Prussian firm of Herron Krupp. It is a "strong" gun means that the gun has been produced by the firm of Sir William Armstrong & Co., the chief seat of whose large factories are located in large factories—in Italy, for instance. A "Maxim" gun means, as far as its range is concerned, that it does not have many of whose patients have been bought by Messrs. Vickers & Co. A Maxim-fired gun is the invented by the inventors of the Maxim, and of those that were brought to this country by Mr. Nordefelt, a Swade. A "Shrapnel" is the name given to a gun that takes its range from a Shrapnel, who during the Peninsular war invented a form in which it was applicable to the spherical shells which were When, by the force of gunpowder or other explosive fired behind it, a body, which we have placed in a space like the one we have placed in a space like some opening, that toward the muzzle is driven forward first through the barrel, and then, in the same direction, the wall is still in a distance that it meets with is due to the opposition of the air. While it is all the time under the influence of the force of gunpowder, the force of the attraction of the earth known as gravity, obviously, the resistance is diminution. Obviously, the resistance is diminished but into an elongated body presenting a relatively very small surface to the air as it is passed through the air. The force of the air is, however, even, we were to fire out of a smooth-bore gun an elongated body without any other precaution, the body, or as we call it, is still in a position in which the spinning about its shorter axis according to a well known law of nature which may be found in the case of a gun, but it has proved that when once a projectile has been removed the force of the air is still in a size of a small, in the course of the three-reelle has been started with a good spin round its longer axle, the position taken to be in the air is still in a size of a small, upon it is subject to certain remarkable laws which are irrelevant for my purpose. The force of the air is always the same as any one of many methods, we impart such a shape to the gun and to the projectile. The force of the air is always the same as the force of the three-reelle. It has to turn out of its longer axle a certain number of times. It is obvious that it will leave the gun in a position in which it is the same rate with which it had to spin during the brief time it was in the gun. "Riffing" takes many forms and has a very long time to be made. The slots in the modification of the share of the gun or projectile, or both, by which the air is not to be moved, are so that it may afterward have this spin as it goes through the air, and, therefore, the air is now in a position in which it has to turn out of its longer axle. When, on which we can make calculations, we send it out of the bore of the gun at a certain pace of motion, and this is the same as the motion of the gun in the "initial velocity." The effect of the rifling in enabling us to send it through the air is to make the air a more stable and more by the round shift of the same weight keeps this "initial velocity" from diminishing nearly as fast as it did with the gun. The motion of the gun is very much greater ranges with rifled guns than we did with the old round shot. Furthermore, we get much greater acuteness of the motion of the gun, and we want to get it out of it when through the bore was accidentally set spinning in some way that we could see the air moving in a more regular way, and all sorts of irregularities of different, and Most of the varieties of projectile which were used in the old smooth boros have been used in the new smooth boros as 'shell' is a projectile which is intended by means of some explosive matter inside the shell. Shrannel invented his shell, which was made of large bullets intended to scatter aluminum. In the which it was aimed, the 'common' form of projectile was made of 'powder, and it had two effects. It was buried into such large fragments that these, re-entered in the shell at the moment it opened, in having a certain fresh force imparted to the shell. The shell is then struck with great accuracy. bodies with which they came in contact and materially damaged them. These shells were thus very destructive to the carriages on which guns are carried in the field, and even, if they hit it fairly, damaging, though not so often, to the gun itself. They were particularly effective against buildings, earthworks and against walls in which it was desirable to make a hole or breach. They also, from the large quantity of powder within them, produced a body of flame which tended to create violent conflagrations wherever they stuck any bodies easily ignited. was also another form of projectile, then called "Canister" and now "Case," without any serious difference in their essential characteristic. This was and is the result of defensive weapon of ar-breaks. The case canister very soon of the gun, scattering the muzzle of the gun, scattering the bullets it contains in a great core of dispersion. It is thus only effective in short ranges against bodies of either cavern or infantry actually closing on the guns to attack them; but at these close ranges it literally sweeps over all the ground in front of the guns, and is appalling in its destructive power. The shrapnel required much more careful adaptation to the rifled-gun shell. To the best of my knowledge and belief the man from whom all nations have borrowed the invention of the rifled shrapnel is Col. Hope, V. C. He, wishing that England should have the exclusive use of his invention, did not believe it, but sent it to one who had the power to introduce it into the English service. The recipient did so introduced it, and the rifled shrapnel so introduced remains the great projectile of our horse and field artillery. For the experience of the war between France and Germany led to the conclusion that a projectile which dealt out destruction among men was more effective for general purposes than one which only smashed material things. Hence both the Germans we at the end of the campaign gave up the use of the "common shell," and now fill our wagons and limbers with shrapnel, while for defensive purposes we keep a few rounds of case. We call these guns 4.7-inch because the measurement of the diameter of length taken across the mouth of the gun is four inches. The length is evident that for a projectile of given with this diameter represents the height of the gun well as if we said, what is the fact, that the weight of the shell is about fifty pounds more powerful naval guns are being used, namely, 8-inch. They would throw a shell of over one hundred pounds weight called "Long Tom" is a "91-pounder." That would mean that it would shell a ninety-inch shell, the same character as the 9-inch, not easily movable. The shells are made to burst fuse as an independent body put into the shell and traveling with it through the air. One kind, the "percussion fuse," is a shell that is fired in an arrangement, such that when the shell strikes any object sufficient to bring it to a stop, the shell is exploded by the fact that it is fired with a "time fuse," is a much more delicate instrument. It contains a composition amount of composition placed ready to burn being indicated by figures outside the case of the fuse, it is possible for the gun to put into the gun, so to regulate it that it will explode the shell after it has trapped it for seconds of seconds through it.

The shell will always bursts on striking with sufficient momentum. A shell with a properly regulated fuse will explode in air. In all our shells we use both the fuse if the fuse does not burst in air, it does on striking. We have a good deal of experience firing with a plugged shell. A "plugged shell" is suitable for the old "solid shot." Sometimes, not often, it is desirable, in preference to a solid whole. Then we take out the bursting composition and, in order that the shell may be even and heavy as before, we with some material that will not burst it. The Maxim- Nordenfelt is a special in- strument which essentially consists in its sim- plemant at a very rapid rate of the ordinary infantry bullet. The "quick-firing" gun infantry bullet. The "quick-firing" gun armed is somewhat misnarrated. It ought rather to be called "the gun with a reco- checking carriage." The infantry weapons the first great change that followed rifling was that all our guns were made to be armed with muskets. The breech loading rifled small arm was the weapon used by both the French and Germ- ians in their great war of 1870. There were more guns used than muskets used, and both were in this respect alike. Since then invention has gone on rapidly. We have now used guns to supply their men with a magazine for rapid rifling. This is either fixed to the the form we now employ is the "Lee- Enfield." The difference between this and the Nordenfelt is very small. The same the same Boers use. The Mauser. The chief distinction between the Nordenfelt has a magazine which is inserted underneath the body through the trigger guard and secured by a catch, and is used to prevent the cartridges from firing, so that it can be used as a simple breech guard which contains ten cartridges is ordered LADYSMITH FEVER DESTITUTION PURE BEEF JOHN BULL: WONDER IF to be used, the Mauser on the other hand, has a magazine which, though not intended to be taken off for cleaning.

THE MONKEYS OF AMBER An Old Indian City Given Up to Monks and Monkeys. Mrs. Clara Erskine Clement describes in the St. Nicholas a visit to the ancient city of Amber, in India, which is inhabited only by a few priests and thousands of monkeys. Elephants from the stables of maharajah of Jeypore conveyed her part. The hill on which the old city stands is surrounded by other high hills, crowned with towers and ramparts and covered with trees, great castle fortress stands out boldly. The old zenana, or women's apartments, is an extensive block of buildings surrounded by a court—is the only place which is inhabited. This is a well populated and lively quarter, since a tribe of langour or hoonomaun monkeys have taken possession, and dwell here in comfort and freedom. The Hindus religious refrain from hurting or killing any animal, and the monkeys, having no fear, are monarchs of all they choose to take. The hoonomaun, or langour, is the sacred monkey, and the largest found in India. Its height is from two and a half to four feet; its body is singularly slender and supple; its face is black and smooth, except for long, white whiskers; the hair, on the body is gray on the back and white under the stomach; its tall is long and bare, with a single tuft of hair on the end. The Hindus have a legend, which explains its very black face. It gets that, ages ago, Hoonomaun A long or the monkeys, went to assist Rama in the conquest of Ceylon. The demon king of the island had carried off Lita, the wife of Rama, and he was determined to rescue her. As they came near to the Island Hoonoomaan easily leaped over the straits, so skillful a jumper was he, and, finding Lita, he was comforting her with the news that her husband was approaching, when Ravana, the demong king, appeared and made Hoonoomaan prisoner. After setting fire to the monkey's long tall he gave him his freedom, that he might return to Rama. Hoonoomaan succeeded in blowing out the fire at the end of his tall, but in so doing he blackened his face and singed his hair in a most unbecoming fashion. The loss of his beauty so saddened the poor beast that Rama made all the monkeys of his kind kalamoukh, or black-faced, which they remain to this day. An age has raged, harvest time and reaping song are due; Now, mowers all, the grain must fall. God has his eye on you; Resp. reap! your blades are cold and keen, the straw is tall and fine. And from the shining stubble rills a purple flood of wine. Lay with the wind, leave not a stick in stately pride to wave; Mew, mow for golden store to fill the garner of the grave; And I will sinter the harvest song that old-time reapers knew. Bearing the burden and refrain: God has no eye on you; The ways of Death are many, and the days of Life are few; I am the God of battles, comes the awful voice to you; And all you have bought was with blood of him who rules above; Eternal wisdom forged the steel that slew the Lamb of love; Full sacred are the glare and spear, divine the warrior soil; The proverb saith: Lovers his dream heard: A maggeddon roll; And dare you heed the craven's creed, O people brave and true!

His estate is true, but not the whole truth as for "apostate, many politicians have said." (He is not a man who is not a弘景) Swift was ready to go all lengths. "Jona, than knows nothing of this" (the restoration), "but he suspects it, and, by George Webb will take an archbishopric, and Jonathan a no-damme-Jonathan will take it, and he is not a man who is not a warrant me, gladly enough." So says St John, after dinner, in "Esmond;" but a letter of Swift's to Bolingbroke just after the fatal death of Queen Anne (which he later used as a date), persuades us that Jonathan did know. He would have been in the place of the rector of St. John's church; and he would have, after tetebrury of Canterbury, as to a "ribald priest," look at the "Tale of a Tub," the amusing essay on the expectation of the last day, the awful poem on that conclusion of human absurdities, and the "fell of the rector of St. John's" (he was a swift, a essay against freethinking are the most amusing satire, and the best deserved in our language.

Mankind turns away from that, and, in the same way, he is now a swine, a swine's misanthropy. For it is not only Macaulay, but Swift himself, who declares that he has "a heart burning with hatred against the whole human race." But then Swift expressly adds not against the rector of St. John's, but says "Indignatio was now a torment, now it is awake a daughter as of a soul in hell.

Ex-President Harrison, Former Speaker Reed and Our Own Inimitable Channey Have Lost Their Time Pieces—a Celebrated Cook, Too, Was Displaced on One Occasion — Numerous Methodist Missionaries. The House of Fails Failed to Prosecute a Famous French Pickle. Until the circumstance was recalled by a dispatch from Indianapolis, the other day nearly one every had forgotten the theft of Benjamin Harrison's diamond-studded watch, worth more than $1,000, and given to him by the senate on the day it was stolen, he told that body. The triplepiece was stolen about five years ago, but just how and by whom does not appear to have been made public as yet, though a crooked named Williamson, under arrest at Knoxville, was being tried to arrange for its return to the owner. Like many other stolen articles, it could not be realized on without danger that the thief might be detected, while the value of its cases and works, as well as the value of the watch, so much below its value as a complete watch that such disposition was not to be thought of. So it was buried, pending a favorable time to negotiate for its restoration, but not, says the New York Press, he now has a diagram showing just where it was hidden, and has offered to exchange it for his freedom. Color is given to the story that the diagram was furnished to Wilson by the original thief whom on his behalf by the circumstance that Wilson was on the place of concealment when arrested. Should he recover the watch, the loss of which was a real grief to him, the former president will be luckier than have some eminent personages from whom valuable records have been kept. Depew's pocket was rifled of his watch one day away back in the '00's and he never got it back. Depew was done up by an organization "pick-picking" a "mob." He had been yachting party at Philadelphia and was standing on the platform of a horse car, on his way to the Cortlandt street ferry, the once told the story, he was thinking of the passing party of his immediate surrogate among the passengers just as the car was passing. Union-square. The rumpus came seemed moved to get out of the car in great haste. As they passed Dewey they knew him for him so much that he thought them real. The time soon after they had the men, for his pocket was empty. The timepiece was costly, and, moreover, like the men he had met, the having been given to Mr. Depew associates during his term as secretary of this state, from which he had retired. He gave up his yachting trip to report the theft to the police, but he might as well have continued his journey to Philadelphia, for the watch never came back. Thomas Acton was chief of police at the time, and he advised Depew not to advertise his loss, declaring that the watch could be recovered in due time if publicly were avoided, but not otherwise. Depew waited a year. Then he lost patience and advertised. One day a man went to him and said the watch might have been recovered had the advertisement been put in earlier. The man knew the proprietor of a crook hotel in Harlem to whom the thief had taken the watch, directing him to return it to the owner, providing it was advertised for. As no "ad." appeared, the thief finally melted the case and sold the works. Thomas Brackett Reed was despotized of a fine watch, said to be worth $250 or more, a few years ago by a pickpocket at a political meeting addressed by the great man from Maine. The story goes that this meeting was held in Cooper Union, in this city; but that's only a detail. Anyway, the audience was large and enthusiastic, and Mr. Reed, who was the chief speaker of the evening, covered himself with glory, as he always does when he has the chance. After the speechmaking and most of the audience had gone home a few remained ostensibly to shake hands with the star of the evening, and Mr. Reed shook hands with several. Naturally his feelings toward all mankind were of the friendliest when he went away from the hall, but they underwent a severe revulsion an hour later when he discovered the loss of his watch. It is said that he then declared he never enter the hall again, and that he has kept his word. The most wholesale list of watches from men of some, prominence in New York, was given to the Methodist Episcopal church. The meetings of this body, the supreme local church, were attended tended chiefly by ordained ministers of the church, and no one in the audience dreamed a war was necessary to guard pocketbooks—to guard crowds. That simple fact seems to have been the undoing of a lot of men, for they were skillful, too, for though half a score of "clocks" were taken from the eminent clergymen present and as many men pocketbooks—nothing amiss was discovered till after the dispersal of the thing. Complaint was made to the police; also the news was given to the reporters, and they published it the next day in the audience was a fifth or more man in the audience was a fifth or more man, clothes, but, of course, there were no arrests, for warned by the publication of the pickpockets took pains to remain away. From the other side of the water comes the story of how the prince of Wales was a musious French pickpocket whose name was ever written down in the books of the war police. This man was known by his name as the prince of Wales, because of his surpassing skill as a thief and his elegant personal bearing and appearance. No one seems to have known him before he was hired his family. He dressed with exquisite taste, was tall and slender and always smart. He could be caught titling his profession. He was suspected of being a pickpocket long before petition was made, but could be caught in his downtown business. His downtown business was an at the Vincennes race track near Paris. He put his hand into the pocket, and the purse it contained not the woman whom the officer was escorting what was going on. "Prince Wales got away with the purse it contained just too late but he did his best to avert trouble by hitting the purse to the $2.40 PER YEAR. officer, declaring he had just picked it up from the ground. The scheme failed to the ground. The woman told the officer. Freed was present and invaded, and sentenced to imprisonment. After his release he went to England and was imprisoned in robbing the prince of Wales was performed at Epsom, while his royal highness was imprisoned while a prince was not published. His death born victim is said to have been to much mortified to make a complaint, and no one else was convicted. "Fred" himself boasted of it. It was at the Epsom race course also that he made his claim to pick the pocket of the late Baron Hickman. In part the baron spoke to him up a good deal when the latter would make complaint. Instead, the great banker drew the great to one side and whispered in his ear: "You wouldn't have done well, my dear," said I, "even if I had not seen you. My pocket is about empty, for I backed the favorite. I was sure the horse would win, whereas it has lost. Come around more carefully some other day, and, since I am such a bad judge of horseflesh, come before the beginning of the running." "Prince Freer lifted his hat and made a graceful bow," said he, with a smile of a man who has just been thanked for doing another a favor. Nobody has heard that Russell Sage's pocket ever was picked, and it probably never was, for he doesn't look like a man who would carry enough money in his clothes to make it worth while. Mrs. Sage was robbed in the street once. Now, ever, though her pocket wasn't picked, like many women she habitually carries her pocketbook in her hand when out walking, and the thief who robbed her only had to grasp the book to get it. She was luckier than either Mr. Harbour or Mr. Depew. She cried out at once, "There was a long chase, the man was caught and the pocketbook was recovered. What was better from Mrs. Sage's viewpoint, he was tried and sent to prison. Another man was put behind the bars for stealing from the Sage's. He entered the Sage house while dinner was being served and stole a lot of clothing, including one of Mr. Sage's celebrated suits, strange to say. The most crestfallen man who ever fell a victim to the pickpocketer's art in New York was a fellow who in his day was famous throughout the United States as an unexcellled expert in that line himself. This chap was chief of a "mob" that worked the crowds at the Philadelphia expedition in the centennial year. At that time, according to his own story, they stole enough watches, jewelry and picketbooks to make up $1,500 in cash in little lots, to say nothing of two or three phenomenonally big hauls. He was in New York subsequently, and here was known so well to the police that they forbade him to visit the Wall street district or to be seen in any street with a handbag or parcel. One day he drank a little too much, and in the crowd at the New York end of the Brooklyn bridge he took a photo of the wall, which he himself had lifted, beside a big roll of bills, being taken. He never got over his chagrin about that, and soon after went out of business altogether, becoming an intimate of the Home of Industry in Brooklyn, presided over by Darwin J. Meserole, who is devoting his life to the reformation of exorvieters. --- Sharp Milwaukee Gynsics Some clever Romans have outwitted the city authorities of Milwaukee. That city has an ordinance prohibiting the use of gypses have settled just over the city, and there the women of the bands have been forced to peep into the future. But the dollars came slowly this way, and the wits of the gypses were taxed to overcome the opposition and problem by engaging a room in the city and installing there a long-distance telephone in the gypsy camp outside the city limits. Word was quickly passed around, and the police learned of the age. The police learned of the setups, but reasoned that they had no evidence of which to base their decision of violation beyond the pale of the law, and it is not her voice that speaks at the receiving end of the pale of the law, and it is not production of it. Moreover, says the New York Evening Post, only the fool at the city end of the communication sums MAN-EATING LIONS Facts About Their Ravages Among Railroad Builders in East Africa. New York Sun. Some further facts have been received about the man-eating lions which made their work on the Uganda railroad as few months ago. It appears that the first time the laborers knew anything about lions that make a business of killing men brushes, on one day when one of the brushes, in the hands of the harrier the lions were strung along the line with shovels in hand, suddenly sprang in among them, crushed one poor fellow's skull with a terrible blow of his paw and maligned an arrow, all that the could not get away. Of course they took to their heels and raised the alarm at the camp a mile away. The district engineer and his assistant at once went to the spot, but the Lion had disjuncted and no two bodies he could not eat at one mean. After that an armed guard was kept along the line of work, but it made little difference to the animis that were determined to have men to eat. They would spring like a flash out of the jungle, seize a man and bear him off beyond pursuit. Two days after the first man was killed, another man was taken, and the next day another disappeared, and within a fortnight eleven men had been seized, all from one camp. The third week brought the list of victims up to fifteen. The sixteenth victim was one of the coolly overseers, a huge man, standing over six feet and weighing more than 200 pounds. He was the first man to reach the work line in the morning, and just as he was giving some instructions a lion sprang upon him and dealt him a terrible blow on the head, crushing the skull. Then he coolly began to eat his prey, while the silvering Indians stood about 200 feet away, feeling that they were safe, now that the lion had got his man. Somehow it didn't occur to them to shoot till the brute had half finished his meal, and then they blazed away in a terrific volley and ended the animal's career then and there.

The Southern Democrats are working overtime in their efforts to deprive the Afro-American of his rights as a citizen. A few weeks since the Georgia legislature passed a bill forbidding sleeping car companies to sell aparths to Afro-American passengers. Sunday of this week, Senator Rowan, Copiah county, introduced in the Mississippi senate a bill to divide the state school fund. The resolution calls for an amendment whereby the school fund shall be separated, the share of each race to be determined by the amount of taxes each pays. As the Afro-Americans pay only about one-fifth of the direct taxes the resolution if adopted means that their schools would be practically abolished. Mississippi has already disfranchised the Afro-American citizens of the state by providing an educational test, and now it seems that they are trying to complete their nefarious work by Defective Page HOW KLADDEKADATSCH VIEWS THE ANGLO-GERMAN FLIRTATION. A The British Lion in 1894. this effort to divide the school fund But all efforts to stop the tide of education will fail. The Afro-American race has had a taste of learning and it will drink deep. If the state refuses to do its duty to its citizens the Afro-American will open schools of their own and support them as far as possible, with their limited means, and in this good work they will be assisted by their good friends in the North. The antidiluvian Southern statesmen (?) who imagine they can turn back the wheels of progress will find that they are very much mistaken. According to the Associated Press dispatches, R. O. Fatherbee, of Austin, Tex., writes as follows to his mother: "We killed 324 insurgents by actual count. It was a sickening sight to see how many times they were hit, just shot all to pieces. Some were thus shot and still lived, and when the officers were not watching we privates would soon end their careers. We did not care to take any prisoners. If it was not for the officers the boys would kill every Negro on the islands. We don't care for a Negro at all, and it's the boy's delight to spy a Negro head in the rice. He won't stay there but a few seconds, whether he is a soldier or not." Now, that's a nice lot of stuff for a boy to write to his mother. Think of a young soldier boasting that he is a murderer for the killing of a non-combatant is nothing but murder and the killing of wounded prisoners is worse than murder. Possibly that mother is proud of her boy. It is not strange that Fatherbee is a conscienceless, bloodthirsty villain. He was reared in Texas, where Afro-Americans are killed every day "just for fun," the state where the public schools are dismissed so that the children may see human beings burned at the stake. Fatherbee is a fair sample of Texas manhood. There were three ice palaces built in St. Paul several years ago, and they did a lot toward advertising the city. The last two years they tried to hold a winter carnival with an ice palace as a central figure, the weather clerk failed to provide ice palace weather, though he gave plenty of it afterwards. This year they have concluded to hold another ice palace carnival and plants are arranged for the same, but instead of snow and ice the clerk is now furnishing April showers and the songs of birds are heard in the budding trees. Too bad! We have been laboring under the impression that we have been eating butter for the past year, but judging from a statement which was made in congress Monday that more than 25,000,000 pounds of oleomargarine had been manufactured during the year there is a doubt in our minds. How- The British Lion in 1899. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ever the butter? (? we ate was so near like the real thing that we will not register a kick at this late day.

There, North in Chicago, and let him see what he saw when I returned to the South, and while I have not reached Mississippi yet, I thought as I was sitting around for a day or so for something to turn on you a few lines to inform you of my health, and to let you know that I am well at present and hope when these two things to you they may find you the same. I was very much pleased with my Christmas visit up there North, and so much so that I shall tell my friends about it when I reach home, and will be able to tell you about it when I am going to deliver a lecture on Chicago and what I saw there, and I am sure that I can fill up the Baptist and Methodist churches until they will seem to be full. I hope you will come big man down home, but while I was in that Chicago nobody seemed to notice me, and unless you put my name in your paper no one knew anything about it. I hope you come down South soon, and we are getting along. I am going to travel through the South this winter, preaching and telling about Chicago, and I will send you a letter from down there. I hope you will come along. I hope you will correct all the mistakes I make in my letter, for I did not get to finish the grammar reader when I was in school, and now I am going to write a letter and then get along the best I can. While in this city of Louisville, Ky., I have met many of the people and hope to be able to talk to you about something. This is my first letter and you can see it in my paper so I can see how my name will look in it, and when I get that, I suppose that I will have to send you another one. It must make a fellow feel that I can get his name in a paper. I am going to show it to all of my friends. Now I must bring this letter to a close, but I promise you that I will give you one soooo good and give my love my love the old folks there. Tell them I am getting along nicely and hope they are the same. Give my love to the mayor and the police. I am only a locust presacher now, I have some day to be a big preacher.

They not willingly allow them abused or neglected, and yet, as a rule, the owners of the stables, proper means for his care, and are wholly dependent upon the hired help. What is true of the horses is true of all the belongings of the stables. "The indifference of owners regarding the(stables) has one very general effect, that of engendering carelessness, varying in degree according to the characters of the stable servants. The carriages and horses may look well on the road, due not to any respect for the own person," theว่า it is "a year's year of unfavorable personal care." This is the effect of the does not always exist, and cannot be depended upon to keep indifferent servants up to even a superficial performance of their duties. At home the coachman has to frequently no incentive offered to exert himself; the owner seldom enters the stable, and he does so the chances are that, through his sile, he is not the same to the ignorance, he uniting his sanctions much as he is. The author once asked a man why he was not doing better work for his employer, to which he replied: "Well, sir, there ain't no use sitting up all night cleaning harness when the folks don't care whether it's done or not, or gittin' in life, or lack of dawn to have the stable clean and tidy." The body never sees it. From which characteristic of the man's life, it is found for many instances of plan workmanship. Much good and no little pleasure can be derived from daily visits to the stable. If a person is not at the moment fond of horses, the natural love of animals gradually develops, and the owner then becomes a serious of making his stable a model one, and maintaining in good form by having the value not as much than the "From a general lack of intelligent supervision, Jebus, recruited from every walk of life, have been given the liberty to run riot and to be a bit rude, in the methods of accomplishing, or appearing to accomplish, their vocations, with the result that to the majority of the public the management of the horse is not a difficult task, but have a vague impression that the horse is kept alive by magic art, indispensable powders, or other unknown concoctions of the state.

In its preparation the author has and in mind the wants of that largely increased class of students. It is a book of historical study and who wish to obtain good general idea of the whole subject. In plan, scope, and narrative, the book is well adapted for this purpose. It presents in admirable form and style such a conceptus of the history of the world as to be of special students and of general readers, as well as for a case book. The special feature which distinguishes the book most is the interesting and attractive style in which it is written, the story is told, the characters clearly and yet in a most fascinating manner.

THE LOCATION The Eckstein Norton University is situated at Cane Spring, Ky., twenty-nine miles from Louisville, Ky., in one of the most health- and quiet settlements in the State—the county being what is known as a prohibition county for many years. The building and grounds are on a lofty hill of rich, rolling land, surrounded on all sides by mountain streams, dashing miniature cartacks, high mountains, peopled with timber of many varied species. In this quiet retreat away from the bustle of city life, free from the unhealthy seductions and allurements of places of vice and unwholesome amusements, one finds study easy, recreation helpful, and the physical powers developed and secured. All this plays no important part in a student's life, and is aptly suited to all who desire to prepare for an active life. DEPARTMENTS.

TALES OF TRAVELING MEN.2 The average commercial traveler fears that he will lose his grip if the trust mania isn't checked soon.—Buffalo News. If the commercial travelers decide to build a home for the benefit of their unemployed members it will necessarily comprise a good many "stories."—Philadelphia Press. Mrs. Styles."Do you read much fiction?" Mrs. Myles."Well, yes; I get a letter nearly every day from my husband when he's on the road."—Yonkers Statesman. Two commercial travelers were comparing notes. "I have been out three weeks," said the first, "and I have only got four orders." That beats me," said the other. "I have been out four weeks and have only got one order, and that's from the firm to come home."—Philadelphia Record. "To make a success at this business," said the experienced traveling salesman, "there is one particular feature at which you should strive to become an expert." "And what is that?" anxiously asked the young drummer. "It is to be able to explain satisfactorily to the firm when you come in of a bad trip just why you haven't sold more goods."—New York Press. A drummer of the West attended a large party one evening, and, after supper was over, was promending with one of the guests, a young lady from the East, to whom he had just been introduced, says the Youth's Companion. In the course of the conversation the subject of business callings came up, and she said: "By the way, Mr. — may I ask what your occupation is?" "Certainly," he answered, "I am a commercial traveler." "How interesting! Do you know, Mr. —, that in the part of the country where I reside commercial travelers are not received in good society?" Quick as a flash he rejoined: "They are not here, either, madam." It is not so much general notions of Providence which are our best support, but a sense of personal interest taken by Christ in our welfare—Arnold. On Sabbath and other occasions, I have weared myself with attempts to waken demeanful feeling, by reading compositions of poetry and kind—practical and experimental writings. Our devotion must have a solid basis, and I believe it is in many cases the best thing we can do to go into the very strongest parts of theological argument, and feed upon such strong themes as Calvin, Rivet, Turretin, Wittius and Owen—Dr. James W. Alexander. Our uniformed attendants at the Chicago passenger station were RED CAPS! They render passengers all necessary assistance Free of Charge or Tips.
