Changes in Small Arms.

In 1779 was published in America the
v23"ume of Baron Steuben’s tactics, which
i: " tains the manual of arms for our revo-
il gonary army. The musket was then a
',‘ "tlock muzzle loader, with single ball or
135,11 and buckshot, effective at about 100
'y 'ds, with a recoil as dangerous to the sol-
(if as to the object aimed at. Formring
ii , loading the commands were, the mus-
; qt? being loaded and at shoulder, “Poise
, ock. Cock firelock. Take aim. Fire.”
‘- . elf cock firelock. . Handle cartridge;
‘p‘éme, shut pan; charge with cartridge;
draw rammer; ram down cartridge; return
Emma; shoulder firelock.” ,

.’ 59' p to 1840 we had the same old flint lock,
smooth bore musket, with paper cart-
ridges, and loaded. by twelve commands:
‘ffibad; open pan; handle cartridge; ,Qear
chitridge; prime; shut pan; cast' about;
charge cartridge; draw ramrod; ram cart-
ridge; return ramrod; shoulder arms.”

About .1845 the percussion cap, previously
used by sportsmen, was adapted to the
smooth bore muzzle loader, and it was
Io’e‘jed in “ten times,” or motions, grad-
as," y reduced to four motions, afid finally
t one, “Load at will.”

' ow, in 1890, every recruit knows that
hegan load his rifle and fire it from five to
twenty times a minute, thereby exhausting
his supply of: sixty rounds in a few min-
"lites, whereas as late as our civil war forty
rounds in thevcartridge box and twenty in
hie haversack were a full allowance for a

93’s fighting—Gen. Sherman in North
American Review.

 

The Influence of the Crank.

The genuine crank is a boon to any com-
munity. New England, being the native
14:35th of American intellect, is the nursery
where the species is reared most success-
fully. Let the thoughtless scoffers of so-
ciety laugh, the crank can afford neither
tonotice nor to mind. He, at least, is in
earnest, and has something besides vain
words to bring forth when he talks. He
may be like one of those disagreeable ruts
in the road that shake you up so painfully,
or like the nettle that stings your hesitat-
ing fingers, but he never. resembles the in-
distinct grain of dust blown hither and
thither along the way, or the trembling
blade of grass that grows up only to be cut
down by the scythe. .

He may stick pins in your inflated van-
ity, he may Took at your diminishing pro-
portions through the small end of a pocket
telescope; he may prod you and punch you
without regard for your weaknesses or
well veiled deformities, but he is your ben-
efactor for all that. He makes you asham-
ed first, and then brings you out, forces
you to grow. You uproot and cast aside
the weeds that sap the nourishment from
the soil of your wit, which, if it be a
healthy plant, is to that extent benefited
by the existence of the crank—Kate Field’s
Washington.

I’uritanic Horror of Kissing.

Many ridiculous anecdotes are told to
illustrate Puritanic horror of this pleasant
and natural salute—one of Rev. Brown, an
English divine, who was known as the au-
thor of a Biblical Concordance. He court-
ed his wife seven years before he asked if
he might kiss her. “Just as you please,”
she answered demurely. “Let us first ask
a blessing,” he said, after which he kissed
her.

“Why, it’s good!” he exclaimed.
us. return thanks.”
a few weeks.

That brings to my mind the saying of a
young woman concerning a suitor Whom
she had rejected. In summing up\ his
qualities she said: “He was good looking,
he was educated, he was devoted, he sent
me flowers—I always thought I’d love a.
man who sent me flowers—but,” she con-
cluded in a tone of disdain, “he hadn’t
sense enough to kiss me when he had a.
chance!”—Kate Kauffman in J enness-Mil-
ler Magazine.

Characteristics of the American.

The American citizen is not content to
exist as a mere animal. Physical well
being does not limit his desire or aspira-
tion. He is especially solicitious for the
welfare and advancement of his children,
and freely depletes a. limited income in
their education and training for a career
in life, often upon other than ancestral
lines. This tendency may become exces-
sive, and is already to some extent creating
a distaste for useful industry and a desire
‘ for conspicuous position, for accumulation
without labor and speculative rather than
productive occupation. Thus the average
American lives upon a high plane, exciting
the envy and emulation of people of other
countries and inducing extraordinary im-
migration—New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser.

The Owner of Youth's Companion.

Daniel S. Lord is the Perry Mason 85
Co. (the nominal proprietors) of the Youth’s
Companion. He bought it some thirty
years ago, after it had been in existence
about thirty-three years, for five or, six
thousand dollars, when it had only a few
thousand circulation. It now has an im-
mense circulation, close upon 500,000. His
income is reported to be not far from
$200,000, one-half of which he distributes
in charity. Abusiness reason for adopt-
ing the name of Perry Mason 8:. Co. is

- that there maybe no change in the pro- ‘

prietorship in case of the real owner’s
death or retirement—Writer.

Forgetting His Loss.

It is not unusual for people who have
lost the use of a sense or of a member to
talk, more or less unbonsciously, as if they
still possessed it. Not long ago a gentle-
man in the west, who had been totally
blind for many years, but who manages to
travel about notwithstanding his afiiic-
tion, wrote to a friend in New York:

“I am goingto New York this summer
to see how the world wags, and I hope to
see you while I am there.”—Youth’s Com-
panion.

The average life of a rabbit is put at
about nine years. The dOe may have young
eight times a year, averaging eighteach
time. The first litter is produced when

"The b 'iuess leeks pretty and smells
sweet, but it is a hard one to run,” said" a
Harlem florist to a friend who praised the
bunches of gladiolus, tuberoses and other
autumn flowers that, filled his windows,
and who added, by way of n moral, thatit
was a much ple‘asanter way of making a
living than selling beefsteak ‘Or dishing ”up
dry goods. ,Thus: the florist took up his
parable again and continued: “It is .the
cash that makes the trouble. Chance buy-
ers and people who live in flats pay ready
money for all- they have, but those who-
own their houses want unlimited credit.
One spring Imade'over a hundred gardens
for, rich men'in this city and set plants‘out
for them.- Theirfamilies went to the Coun-
try, and I have not been able to collect my
bill from one in ten. . . . .‘ ,
“As for weddings, there was onewealthy
man in this street who filled his 'houSe
with flowers when his daughter was mar-
ried, nndwanted1 everything, of the‘ best.
The bride stood under a bell. of camellias,
and-roses were banked up everywhere, re-
gardless of expense, but when I presented
my bill at the end of Six months-hoor-
dered me out of , the house for .my pre-
sumption. It .is nearly a' year since .I
filled the ord‘er,‘and I expeCt there’ll‘be. a '
birth and a funeral in the house before]
get my money. That is what. makes me
tired of flowers, and I am thinking Of ’sell—
ing out and going into- something- not
quite so pretty—stoves, for inStance.”
Then the florist, who had snapped'a five
cent rose off- itsstem in his wrath“, fastened
it on with a bit of wire, making it look as
good as new, and sold it to an unsuspicious
dude for a quarter.—New York Sun.

A Benevolent Singer. .

The principal singer of the gre’at theatre
at Lyons one day observed a poor woman,
with her four children, begging in the
street. Her decent and respectable appear-
ance, in the midst of extreme poverty, in-
terested the kind hearted vocalist. He de-
sired the poor woman to follow him into
the Place Bellour, where, placing himself
in a corner with his back to the wall, his
head covered with his handkerchief and
his hat at his feet, he began to “sing his
most favorite opera airs. The beauty of
his voice drew a crowd round; the idea of
some mystery stimulated the bystanders,
and five franc pieces fell in shovVers- into
thehat. _' ‘- . " ,‘ '. '.'

When the singer, who had thus in the
goodness of his heart transformed himself
into a street minstrel, thought he had
enough, he took up the hat, emptied its
contents into the apron of the poor woman,
who stood motionless with amazement and
happiness, and disappeared ,among the
crowd. His talent, however. lietrayed him,
though his face was concealed; the story
spread, and the next evening when be ap-
peared on the stage shouts of applause
from all parts of the house proved that a
good action is never thrown away.-—New
York Ledger.

Addresses of Correspondents.

Whoever has lost a valuable hour or two
in hunting for old letters in order to find a
necessary address which a correspondent
has carelessly neglected to give, and has
not lost his temper, is gifted with a rare
degree of patience. In these busy days no
person has a moral right to levy upon the
time of another by writing a letter upon a
sheet which does not contain the printed
address of the writer. When people up-
preciate this truth it will be a sure sign of
the dawning of the millennium. _

Until then'we must endure the evil with
the best grace possible, and devise such
means of individual relief as we can. I
find much assistance in an indexed blank
book. As soon as I read aletter containing
an address down goes the address into my
book, and though my correspondent writes
me a dozen times and never again gives
me his address he cannot compel me to
waste my time going over files of old let-
ters.~ The same is true of all addresees
which I desire to preserve for future refer-
ence. No consideration would induce me
to dispense with this—to me—necessity.-—
Cor. Writer. ,

'The Indians of Canada.

Canada appears to have practically solv~
'ed the Indian question. Instead of that
“disappearance before the advance of the
white man” which some theorists find it
convenient to represent as inevitable, they
increase in number in the eastern prov-
inces, while even in the far northwest
they show a tendency to adopt the meth-
ods of civilization. A striking token of
progress is the fact that 2,000 more chil-
dren are at this time in the Indian schools
in Manitoba and the territories than were
receiving instructions in 1881, and the
number is stated to be increasing. The ef-
fect of this increasing contact with civil-
izing influences is shown in the improve-
ment in their dwellings, the gradual
abandonment of many of the old heathen i
celebrations, such as the “Sun Dance,”
etc., and the increasing number who stay
on the reserves and endeavor to get some-
thing out of their land—Chicago Herald.

Nothing Lost.

In a village in Normandy a peasant called
at the chemist’s. purchased a certain drug
and went away. The assistant took up the
coin which the customer had left on the
counter and found that, instead of two
francs, the price of the bottle, he had left
only a piece of two sous. He quickly re—
ported this act of robbery to his employer,
who, after a moment’s reflection, an-
swered: “Bah! We don’t make a profit on
the transaction; still we don’t lose by it.”
-San Francisco Argonaut.

Good Advice for Building.
Chimneys, to be safe from fire and draw
well, should be not less than sixteen inches
square inside, and built up from the cellar.
Use good brick with clay, instead of mor-
tar, up to the comb. Plaster it inside with
clay .mixed with salt. Top with the best
brick well wet and laid in cement. Do not
let wood come too close to the brick, and
don’t let the stovepi‘pe come nearer than
eighteen inches to the ceiling.-New York
Journal. . -

' Judged by the Gad.

A Boston paper, referring to the Pontiac
school whipping case, says that the average
New England school ma'am is valued more
for the way she uses the gad than for the
progress her pupils make. The Massachu-
setts school boy expects at least two lick-
ings per week, and he is seldom disappoint-
ed.-—l)etroit Free Press.

A commission of French exports has dc
cided that the best means of rapidly re-
frigerating viands and preserving them at
a low temperature consists in spreading a
refrigerating liquid over a. mass of coke.
The air, striking the mass, is chilled by
contact and is then conveyed to the stor
age compartment. ,

A Tall Man Settles Down.

J. W. Patterson, the tallest man known
in the world, exceptifig the Chinese giant
Chang, will make Oklahoma City his
home. Mr. Patterson stands 7 feet 7 inch—

He has traveled with a number of the best
shows in the country for the past eight or
ten years and is well fixed in this world’s
goods. About a year ago he married, and
has decided to settle down and take life
easy. He owns considerable property in
this city, and as soon as he returns from
the east will begin the erection of a fine
residence. Several months ago his wife
presented him with a pair of strapping

affections of the head are not diseases of

treat them as such. No conscientious

Disraeli’s Birthplace.

Seven fair cities contended for the honor
of bearing Homer, but we do not know
how many will in the future compete for
the privilege of giving birth to Mr. Glad-
stone. The actual number is, we believe,
at present eleven, and for the time being
Liverpool is the first favorite. But it
would be unwise to reopen that contro-
versy. If, however, Mr. Gladstone suffers
from unfortuflately possessing a redun-
dancy of birthplaces, it is a remarkable fact
that Lord Beaconsfleld. whom he admits
to have been the “most interesting man of
the century,” on the other hand, possesses
