A LADY'S PHOTO MISUSED.
a. Society Ladies's Picture as a Shoe
Polish “Ad.” ’
When Mrs. Cooper Hewittappeared
asJoan of Arc in a tableau arranged by
a group of New York’s moSt fashiona—
ble society, some time a 0, her striking
costume and commandin= mien aroused
such general admiration on the part of
those who were permitted to witness
the presentation that she consented to
be photographed in the warlike dress,
and graciously distributed a number
of these photographs among her’most in
timate friends.
How one of these pictures got to the
hands of a “a person in trade” is a mys
tery, but is none the less a fact, for
Mrs. Hewitt was startleda few days ago
at seeing her picture in several fashion-
able journals adorning an advertisement
for ladies’ shoe polish.
The Joan of the tableau was clad in
full armor. Her dark eyes were turned
to flash defiance on her enemies, and her
left foot rested gracefully on the low-
est step of the throne she was abdut to,
ascend. The effect of the whole was
one of majesty and conscious power. It
underwent a change, however, when it
fell into the hands of “the person in
trade.” '
Although his manufactory is in nest
thetic Boston, he basely changed the,
throne to a vulgar nineteenth oentur;.~ '
shoe blacking box—an ordinary, every-
day brass studded kit, of the‘Bleecker
street type, and from his inner eon-
sciousness there was evolved a young
darky busily engaged in polishing the
dainty boots elevated before him.
Mrs. Hewitt’s surprise soon gave way
toindignation. Her consent had not
been asked by the advertiser, and the
likeness was so exceedingly good that
the first glance enabled all who knew
her, to recognize the popular Society
leader. ,
‘ She consulted her husband, and he de-
cided to take steps to have the picture
suppressed. ' -

His Virtues Worthily Sung in Metered

He hears. within his massive girth
the meat and essence of all worth. The
stars round him revolve and fly, the
sky rests on his mighty shoulders high.
And so he walks, erect and grand, the
solar system in his mind; and matched
with him the sun’looks small, the
mighty man who knows it all!
Then let the sun go out at noon and
throw a towel o’er the moon; and let
the stars remote and high, drop like
loose buttons from the sky; and send
to Night's Plutonian shores your se-
lectmen and sophomores; but spare
him for the’good of all, the mighty
man who knows it all! -
Ah! when he dies will wisdom die.

The effect of such a tire on a body of
troops charging upon a {one armed
with these weapons would be disas-
trous in the extreme, as they would be
able to rain bullets upon a territory ex-
tending at least 2,000 yards from their
:nuzzles. . p '
The gun the navy, has adopted is that
manufactured by the Qolt Patentmre
arms Manufacturing Company, or
Hartford, Conn, under Bmtng’s
patent. The design was decided upon
after exhaustive experimentsi intended
to perfect a method whereby'the pow-
der ' gases "are utilized to. work auto-
matically the firing,
loading mechanism:
'- ejecting » and re-
' run com 131'“; GUN.
The gun weighs thirty-two pounds,
and with the tripod upon which it is
mounted, the total weight of the ma-
chine is about fifty pounds. The tripod
when the weapon is not in use, may be.
detached and carried by one men,
while another takes charge of the gun
, The arm censlsts of one barrel, at-'
tached to a breech casing, in which
is contained the mechanism for charg-
ing, firing and ejecting. The automatic
action of the (gun is effected by means
of the pressure of the powder gases
in“the barrel, after the projectile has
received its maximum velocity. with-
out decreasing its range or penetration.
A small radial vent in the barrel, open-
ing downward from the bore, admits
the gas. The vent is closed Lyn piston.
which fits in the gas cylinder, sur-
rounding the outer edge of the vent.’
and is pivoted to the gas lever, so that
it adjusts itself to the gas cylinder,
while the lever swings in a vertical
plane. 'The operation of the gun has
been thus described:
“The feed belt, containing for the
navy 250 cartridges, carried in boxes,
is entered, and the lever isthrown
down arid rearwardtonce by- hand) as
far as i‘ will go. This opens the
breech :':.-.lvfe'eds the first cartridge
from tly belt to the carrier. The lever
is then r ioased, and the spring causes
it to swing forwgrd, closing the vent
and transferring the cartridge from the
hammer and closing and locking the
breech. 0n pulling the trigger the shot
is fired, and after the bullet has passed
the vent and before its exit from the
muzzle, the powder gases expand
through the vent upon the piston and
gas lever, which in turn act on the
breech mechanism, opening the breech,
ejecting the shell and feeding to the
carrier another cartridge. The gas
lever, returning, forces home the cart-
ridge in the barrel, closing and locking
the breech. If insteadof releasing the
trigger it is held back the same opera-
tion will be repeated so long as cart-
ridges are supplied, producing a con
tinuous fire at‘the rate of 400 shots
per minute.
Tests of the Colt weapon have satis-
fied the authorities of its usefulness
for the naval service. The gun fires a
cartridge of .236-inch calibre, the same
’ size as that fired by the naval small
arm, so that the ammunition is inter-
changeable.
Blackie, the Enthusiast.
John Stuart Blackie’s superabun~
dance of energy is evidenced by the
wagerness with which he entered into
whatever interested those with whom
he came in contact, In his biography
we find an extract from a character-
istic letter which he wrote while in
tome to a sister who had remonstrn-
ted with him for being so much addicr~
ed to verse-wsiting. ~
“You see I cum verse-mad,” he wrote.
“But you know I am subject to vari-
ous kinds of madness, and of frequent
recurrence. In Aberdeen I got re-
ligious-mad; then I got Latin-mad; now
I am verse-mail and drawingomad, and
am ‘fast getting antiquity-mad.
“Out of this neverendin'g fermenta-
tion may something good arise, that I
~ may not be eternally driven about by
every wind of doctrine. But as it is, I
have no mom command over my
» whims and fancies than a henpecked
:,-- husband hasrr-rer his wife.”

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed, when the languid exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of a tonic and
alterative is felt. A prcmpt use of this
medicine has often averted long and per-
haps fatal bilious fevers. No menicine
