THE MODERN ARMY RIFLE.

Why It la More Effective Than Weapons Previously Used. The effectiveness of the modern army rifle over those used during our civil war is due to its power to carry a bullet to a distant mark in a practically straight or level line of flight.'i The model arms will kill at two miles, ! and for G6O yards the bullets do not | in flight rise above the height of a man. The British are armed with the lee-metford and the Boers with the mauser rifles. The rifles of former wars, because of their peculiar construction and the weak charge of gunpowder used, could not reach a target at-as great a distance as the modern rifle, and when fired at a target 500 yards off had to be aimed high, the bullet in its flight describing a parabola, and being dangerous only to those near the place where it dropped. With the modern rifle, however, the arch of flight is low, and when aimed at a target 500 yards distant the bullet travels in practically a level line, 1 rendering the zone between the ! marksman and the target dangerous to any man standing erect, and with its great penetrating power may wound or kill several men before its flight is stopped. In volley firing and whenever else it is possible the officers in command, in giving the order to fire, state the distance of the target, apd the gauge is regulated accordingly. Unless the object aimed at is comparatively close the modern rifle must be somewhat elevated, but the movement out of dead level is so slight that the effectiveness of aim under ordinary circumstances is not materially affected.—W. E. Curtis, in Chicago Record.

RUSSIAN TEA CARAVANS.

▲ Mode of Transportation That Will Soon Be Superseded. A Siberian paper published at Tomsk gives some curious -details regarding the Russian tea caravans that transport vast quantities of tea and distribute it in various parts of Siberia and Russia. During the first 20 days of January, 1899, there was an average of a thousand sleighs per day loaded with tea passing through Tomsk. The ordinary size of the tea caravans are from 50 to 70 sleighs, but it is not unusual to have from 200 to 300 sleigh&’in a caravan. The average load is five bales, each bale weighing about 100 pounds. Five sleighs are fastened together and are drawn by one horse and are attended by one

man. On the rear sleigh of each group is tied a bundle.of hay and a ( measure of oats, so that the next horse behind may feed during the march so that the caravan does not need to halt for the purpose of feeding the horses. The front horse is changed occasionally so as to give him an opportunity of feeding also. The caravans travel night and day and only stop at villages where the weary i horses are exchanged. The drivers ' sleep on the sleighs while traveling. When the Trans-Siberian road is completed tea will be carried from j China and distributed through Siberian and western Ruseia with the same dispatch as freight is handled in the United States and 12 cars will carry as much freight as a thousand sleighs drawn by 200 horses and attended by 200 men, the difference in the cost of the tea to the consumer and the saving in time and transportation may be readily imagined.

SAVED BY A COLLIE DOG.

Exciting Experience of a Meteorologist on Ben Nevis. Mr. Robert Macdougall, one of the meteorologists at Ben Nevis observatory, had a most exciting experiencea when climbing that mountain tJie other day. His only companion in the ascent was a collie dog, to whom he says he owes his life. When maneuvering on a snowslide-about 1,000 feet above the half-way station, Mr. Macdougall Jost his footing, and as the surface of the snow was glazed and hard he. was soon being whirled down a gully at an alarming pace, sometimes head fore-most, at others I the reverse. It was at. this juncture that the dog’s sagacity came in. As 1 soon as Mr. Macdougall began to slide it caught his. coat with its teeth and greatly impeded thedownward progress. The dog ultimately guided him to a place of safety, after the twain had slid down on the snow for nearly 1,000 feet. Strange to say, neither observer nor dog was much hurt, and the former, breaking open the door of the half-way hut, lit a fire. Here , he was found by a search party, half asleep, with the dog watching over him.—Westminster Gazette. * I

TWO REMARKABLE MEN.

Are Connected with the Great Railroad Progress of Russia. In the awakening throughout Russia some very remarkable men have come to the front. One of them has a history which reads like a romance. He was born in 1859 and was of the peasant class. To-day he is in all renext to the czar himself in power; in many respects greater than the czar. This young peasant had a position in the railway service. He gave his thought to the great problems of transportation which he saw would come up in the development of his country. The war with Bulgaria broke out and the getting of the troops to the front was the all-impor-tant problem. The usual official orders were issued. He was assistant station master and his chief was away. ' He disregarded the orders and he was

at once scheduled for Siberia, but the investigation of his insubordination did not proceed very far before it broke upon his judges that his genius had saved the czar’s troops from destruction. The work was promptly recognized and he was made a director in the Imperial railway. Then step by step be became the minister who has not only reformed Russia’s finances so that they command the respect and tlie confidence of the world, but lias made possible the vast schemes of railway construction which are one of the marvels of the closing century. The peasant boy’s name was Sergius Witte. He is now the great M. de Witte, with the title of count and the admiration cf the world.

Even more important than the rail- , road development which M. de Witte j has aided in Russia is his complete reform of the financial systems of the I 1 country. With a revenue of considerably over a billion dollars a year, Rusj sia was falling behind several millions i annually with nothing specially to . show for it. No better indication of I the cliange could be found than the J fact that American bankers recently loaned to the Russian government the extraordinary sum of $25,000,000. This, though a fine sign of confidence, was at the same time a good stroke of . business on the part of Americans, for as Russia is purchasing about a mili lion dollars* worth of American, manufacturesevery month the money will, ' after all, be kept near home.

The working man of Russia’s railway development is Prince Hilkoff, | who took the regular course in prac- 1 tical railroading, and who traveled around the world .studying all sides of the transportation question before becoming the practical head of Russia’s railway system. And it is he who expectsthisyear to make a trip around the world in 40 days, going by way of the route he has built across Siberia. These men are strong in experience, and they have brought a new,element ' of strength to the power of Russia by . rigid integrity in official work. Their -examples will naturally be followed ' by many strong men in Russia, and I the development will doubtless be fol- ■ lowed by large results,—Saturday ! Evening Post.

BEFORE THE CURTAIN.

Speech John L Sullivan Used Frequently to Deliver. i The great and only John L. is a i fine curtain call speaker. I know this - to be true because he admits it himi self. When he made his celebrated j tour of the country meeting all cpm--1 ers, at the early part of his pugilistic' I career, it was his habit to deliver a j brief address at each performance. | “Gents,” the champion would begin, after scanning the audience in vain for any female, “Gents, I t’ank you all for yer kind ’plause. Does any i mug—l mean gent —in de house want to put on de mits?. If he stays for four rounds he gets dis hundred dolar bill—see? Tanking youse again for yer kind ’plause, I remain, yours truly, John L. Sullivan.” I don’t know where John picked up that epistolary style, but it was cer- - tainly very effective. The inagnifi- , cent way he rolled out those last few I words invariably took the audience ; by storm. There was a certain subtle . flattery about it. too. It made even’ : man in the building feel as if he had i received the champion’s autograph, i —N. 0. Times-Democrat.

Ambiguous Epitaphs. The ironical epitaphs printed the other day in the Chicago Record have called out the following, which is said to be found in a cemetery in Burlington, Vt.: "Sho lived with her husband 60 years. And died In the blcued hope of a better life.” Another, equally ambiguoui, b found in Marshfield, Mass.: "Here Ue the bodies of Obedlah Wilkinson and Ruth Wilkinson, bis wife. Their warfare is accomplished."

“The marvelous cure of Mirs. Rena J. Stout of Consumpton has created intense excitement in Cammack, Ind.,” . writes Marion Stuart, a leading druggist of Muncie, Ind “She only weighed 90 pounds when her doctor in Yorktown said she must soon die. Then she began to use Dr. King’s New Discovery and gained 37 1 ounds in weight and was completely cured.” It has cured thousands of hopeless cases, and is positively guaranteed to cure all Throat, Chest and Lung diseases. 50c and $1 00.

DANIEL WEBSTER’S CHOWDER.

Anecdote Told of the Orator by a Man Who Heard It Every visitor to Scituate cr the neighboring villages along the shore and farther inland knows Capt. Pratt. He is among the oldest of the town’s inhabitants, and from an inexhaustible fund of entertaining stories he relates with inimitable drollery many amusing happenings cf a time before the South shore became a famous resort. It is counted an important part of the summer’s programme nowadays to call on this old man and hear him relate some of the varied experiences of his 90 years’ life. He dearly loves company, and when the wind is in the right direction he can be very entertaining. For more than 40 years he was master of ships that visited all the ports along .the Atlantic coast. After that he retired to a somewhat quieter life, fishing round about the zigzag shores of his native Massachusetts. He believes himself to be the only survivor of the company that built the first Minot’s Ledge lighthouse, and, although his memory lapses when recent events are under discussion, he is undisputed authority on matters relating to that wonderful undertaking as well as the disastrous storm that swept itanditsoccupants from the earth, and the rebuild- ' ing, six years after, when he was also I one of the workmen.

Sitting beneath the apple trees that shelter his home, with his little granddaughter at his feet, Capt. Pratt looks up at the sounds of every passing vehicle and nods and smiles at the neverfailing friendly greeting of “the sum- ' mer folks.” All his reminiscences are worth hearing, but there is one ' which he tells with special, 1 relates to a certain day, long when he was fishing in his hort jii?t i eff shore with several companions. I They anchored at noon and prepared | to feast upon a fish chowder the cook : had made. Just then a rowboat ap- ! neareu, parrying two men in rough atI tire. They askeu '? r ,)£ Ut> was promptly handed over the siuC, as they started away the hospitable ' captain mentioned the chowder and invited the strangers to come aboard and join the hungry company. They • accepted readily and ate with a keen appreciation of the savory dish. “They do say,” remarked one of the fishermen, “that Dan’l Webster brags about the chowders he makes over to Ma’shfield. 1 don’t believe that he could hold a candle to this one. Why, it’s the best-chowder I ever eat.” “Daniel Webster thinks so, too!” came in thunderous tones from the man who had borrowed the bait. “Sure enough," says Capt. Pratt, after a series of chuckles, “it was the great statesman sitting on a pile of rope and holding an empty tin plate in his hands. We yere all stirred up, you better believe, hut he enjoyed the joke. He and I were great friends after that, and many’s the fine luck at mackerel fishing we’ve had together.”—Boston TniincriDt.
