Mannllcher Gun Lately Is Claimed Made Up

All About the Adopted by Austria, Which to Bo the Most Perfect One to the Present.

Austria, like France, has adopted for the arming of her infantry a gun of small caliber, and has choson the model shown in the accompanying cut.

NO. 1—THE iLA-NNLICHEE GUN. This weapon is of 8 mm. caliber and fires

steel incased ball. The closing of tho gnn differs from that of guns provided with a bolt Tho object of the inventor has been to •oppress tho lateral motion of tho movable breech, and to effect tho opening and closing of the gun by a single horizontal, motion, neb an arrangement permitting of exhausting the magazine of cartridges without removing the weapon from the shoulder.

Tho opening and closing, explaines L'Illustration, aro olfected as follows: In order to open the weapon, tho lever, A, is grasped with tho right hand and pulled back. To close the gun, tho movable breech is shoved forward by moans of tho same lever. Tho gun boing loadod, as will be explained farther along, the movable head carries along into tho chamber tho first cartridgo tho magazine, and the cock. B, moots tho trigger, V, which arrests it. If the pressure on tho lever is kept up, tho coin, C, enters the bolt, D, and forcca it to fall and enter tho recess, E.

As a repeating gun, tho Mnnnlicher weapon bolongs to tho two categories of Grain with fixed magasino and thoso with a movablo on o. Beneath tho breech socket thcro is a

tains ho cartridgo lever, G, and tho hook of the feeder, II. The repetition is completed by a feed bo-, I, of very light steel plate, containing llvo cartridges. To All tho magazine, tho soldier opana tho gun, as shown in Fi~. 3, and takes tho feed box and introduces it into tho magazine through the recest lu tho socket until the part has crcwscd the hook, H. During this operation the last cartridge, which rests upon the upper part of tho lover, G, forces this pieeo to descend (Kig. 8). Daring the firing, the cartridges rise in snccmsion under the action of tho lover, 0,aa.l at tlio tnotnout of the introduction of tho last cartridge into tho chamber, tho lever, experiencing no further resistance, resumes ite place (Fig. 3), and tho feeding box, which is no longer held, is thrown automatically out of the gun by the pressure of tho hook, H.

To consider but the repeating mechanism, tho Maunlicher gun may, as regards its simplicity, tho strength of its ports, and its operation. bo considered as the most perfect one that has been made up to the present., says the authority quoted.

Darwin's I'arorlte Bowks.

From a reading of Darwin's biography an Englishman has compiled the following list of authors and books which Darwin mentions os having given him tho most pleasure and stimulus:

The total number of Union volunteers In the civil war was 2,678,967, divided as follows: Maine, 72,114 New Hampshire, 36.629 Vermont, 85,263 Rhode Island, 23,699: Connecticut, 57,379 New York, 467,017 New Jersey, 81,010 Pennsylvania, 366,107 Delaware, 13,670 Maryland, 50,316 West Virginia, 32,068 District of Columbia, 16,872 Ohio, 319,059 Indiana, 107,147 Illinois, 250,147 Mfohiffm, 89,372, Wisconsin, 96,424 Minnesota, 25,052 Iowa, 76,309 Missouri, 109,111 Kentucky, 79,025 Kansas, 20,151 Tennessee, 31,092 Arkansas, 8,289 North Carolina, 3,156 California, 15,725 Nevada, 1.0S0 Oregon, 1,610 Washington territory, 964 Nebraska territory, 3,157 Colorado territory, 4,903 Dakota territory, 206 New Mexico territory, 5,501.

Florida furnished two regiments of cavalry Alabama one white regiment: Mississippi one battalion, and North Carolina two regiments of cavalry.

Bill of Attainder.

Tho word "attainder" is from tho French word teindre, meaning to stain. According to tho old English law, when a person was condemned to death for treason or felony, or had been outlawed for any crime, he was deprived of all his civil rights, and all his tates were forfeited to the government. This was called attainder, and the person thus punished was said to be "attainted." Parliament might also thus deprive an offender of rights, and the act was called a bill of "attainder." Not only did those convicted of high treason forfeit all their possessio both real and personal, and ail their individual rights as citizens of the state, but the offense also worked "corruption of blood," that is, the descendants of the offender could not inherit any of his property, nor any civil right that had been his. The disabilities created by the corruption of blood could only be removed by act of parliament. The bill of attainder, as passed by the English parliament, was a legislative conviction with judgment of death. Sometimes evidence was heard on the case, but not often, for the object of the act was to securo conviction without waiting for legal proof of guilt. The first recorded use of the bill of attainder by porliamont was in 1331, when parliament wished to rid the country of the unpopular favorites, tho Deepensers. Its last use was in 1697, when Sir John Fenwick was attainted and executed for participation in tho assassination plot. In tho 370 years intervening tho plan had been used very often to dispose of persons obnoxious to parliament

A Southern War Poem.

The poem "Ruth Allen" is by Elizabeth J. Hereford, and appeared in her volume, "Rebel Rhymes:" Pretty Ruth Allen, from morn to eve, As fast as her sleuder fingers could weave, Broldered a banner of silken bars, And a blue field glittering with silver stars. 1 In the twilight's beauty, at early dawn. Pretty Ruth Allen wove on and on, While her voice trilled out In gladsome rhyme,, A gallant deed of the olden time. Pretty Ruth Allen, from BUB to sun, Labored until the work was done, Then said, 'Tis a banner for the brave, And this is the only boon I crave, That when my own hero shall sink to his rest, His comrades shall fold it over his breast, And the stars that enrich it, like those up abovet Shall burn on his bosom the stars of my love." Under the banners of southern moss, Ruth Allen nits weaving a southern cross* There, in the Ught of a dying day, Weaving across of symbolic gray. Her cheeks are pale, and her eyes are dim, And sho sings no more, but weeps for him ,* And her heart, now laden with sorrow and care, Goes back to that day of death and despair, When a lover was lost, when afield was won. And her life joy went down like a setting sun.

New York's Great Fire.

The "Great Fire" of New York broke ont at 9 p. m., Dec. 16, 1835, in a five story building in Merchant street, formerly and again Hanover street, near tho Merchants' Exchange, tho present custom hou»o. It spread east to tho East river west, through the middlo of the block on the south side of Wall street, almost to Broad street, and south almost to Coenties slip. Tho firo lasted sixteen hours, and was finally stopped by blowing up the buildings in its path. The Merchants' exchange, tho Dutch Reformed church in Exchange place, and the Franklin market in Old slip were destroyed, as well as 645 other buildings. The loss was about $20,000,000.

The Moonstone.

Tho moonstone is a translucent variety of feldspar worked by lapidaries. It gives a reflected light of a pearly play of color, not unlike that of the moon, and not unlike the color of tho opal. It occurs massive and also in crystals, in fissures of graphite, gneiss, eta, and the finest specimens come from Ceylon. Tho poetic significance of the moonstone ring is simply good luck. Tho pansy is from the French "pensee," signifying "remembrance." Shakespearo said: "There is pansies, thatfs far thoughts." _________

Wool Growing States.

Tho northern states grow very nearly fourfifths of the wool raised in the United States. Ohio leads all the states with nearly 28,000,000 pounds annually. California ranks next with about 17,000,0001 Missouri and Texas are the

principal

wPHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

"Stove Stroke," an III to Which Women Wbo Toil Over Hot Stoves Are XJable.

Coup de soleil, or sunstroke, is a familiar flgioftinn, known to be a fruitful source of cerebral trouble in after years to those who survive a severe attack, and against it people are duly warned each year as its season comes cn. But the following words of caution, by a physician, to women who cook and have to toil over heated stoves and in the close, hot air of kitchens, against "coup d'etuve." or stove stroke, are new and suggestive. He says:

Before the old fashioned open fireplace our mothers and sisters suffered much from the effects of direct heat in the face and in browning coffee, boiling and baking they would often be well nigh overpowered with the heat. Here, however, was an occasional relief, by the moving of cold currents to the open fire, that worked to their benefit. Moreover, with the introduction of stores came tho building of smaller rooms for kitchens, and the consequently greater accumulations of heat about the stoves, especially when washing, ironing and baking, that in time proved a prolific source of bronchitis, asthma, headaches and disturbed circulations. Diseases have multiplied aggressively with the increase of patents, till at present it is no uncommon thing to find abundant work for those who treat respiratory diseases in almost every household where stoves are commonly used. Especially is this the case where proper ventilation is not secured and ample room given to cooks to occasionally escape the effects of direct stove heat.

I slept one night in a small bedroom in which was a small stove. The night was a cold one in winter. The stove was filled with wood, and all tho dampers closed to prevent rapid burning. It proved, however, to be full of open joints, and at length a furious fire was the result. I awoke bathed in sweat, suffocated almost to smothering, roaring in the ears equal to a railroad train, dizziness so great I could hardly get out of bed to attend to opening doors and cooling the stove. What I suffered has given me a sympathy for those who must endure, only in less degree, the heat of kitchen stoves. No wonder that apoplexy, epilepsy, cerebral congestion and congestive headaches, severe colds and bronchitis are the common ailments of those who suffer from coup d'etuve. Beware of overheating yourself or your babies keep baby's feet, and not its head, toward the stove.

Ingrowing Toe Kail.

After a rather prolonged foot bath, and as gentle but thorough cleansing and drying of the as possible, I introduce by the aid of a brush, into the interstices between the nail and the fungosities, a solution of gutta percha in chloroform (gutta percha, ten parts chloroform, eighty parts). I have thin application repeated several times the first day, and less frequently the following days.—Dr. Patin.

A Harmless and Effective Face Lotion.

If glycerine agrees with one's skin, the following face lotion faithfully used will give somo of the freshness of youth back to a complexion that has faded from want of care. Make oatmeal into a paste with glycerine two parts and water one part, and apply to the face at night. Some persons wear a mask over this.

Hoarseness caused by excessive use of the voice maybe relieved by eating freely of fresh raw egg beaten thick with fine white sugar.

A teaspoonful of salt dissolved in water and taken every hour or two, beginning six to eight hours before a chill, is said to often prevent it in what is known as "chills and fever."

How the little Gf_*ls Dress and Adorn Themselves Who live in the Vale of Cashmere, in far Away, Littla Cndeiv stood India.

In the cut here reproduced for our readers from "Little Men and Women" is illustrated the way the girls and women who live in the Vale of Cashmere dress their hair.

A GIRL Or OABHMKKK.

This Vale of Cashmere is in India, and is the place from which the pretty Cashmere shawls come. Very pretty silver jewelry is made there, too.

But the girls are too poor to wear either the pretty shawls or pretty jewelry, so they take this way of adorning themselves. They braid their hair in long plaits. If they have not enough hair to make the plaits long, they piece them out with bits of braided tow or strings *«d sometimes with fates hair.

Origin of the Phrase "Blue Blood."

The phrase "blue blood" used in the sense of aristocracy, or of old family, is familiar to all. A correspondent in Boston Transcript claims that the following explains its origin: "After the black Moors were driven out of Spain—or such of them as were too high spirited to become Christians on compulsion— the aristocracy of Spain was held to consist of those who traced their lineage back to the time before the Moorish conquest. These people were whiter than those who had been mlTAd with Moorish blood the veins upon tl&ir white hands were blue, while the blood of the masses, contaminated by the Moorish infusion, showed black upon their hands and faces. So' the white Spaniards of old race came to declare that their blood was "blue," while that of the common people was black. The phrase passed to France, where it had no such significance, and was, in fact, quite an arbitrary term, and aS on to England and America."

How Franklin Blattered Italian*

Probably no young person ever learned a modern language in a more ingenious way ftow Benjamin Franklin. He tells us, in his autobiography, that after mastering French he undertook Italian. An acquaintance, wbo was also learning it, used often to tempt Franklin to play chess with him. Finding that this took up too much of tho little spore t.lm* they had for study, the future philosopher hit upon the hap^ plan of allowing the victor in any game tharight to impose some task in connection wiro their study of the language. This task, to be performed upon honor before their next meeting, was either parts of tho grammar to be learned by heart, or an exercise in translation. As they played chess about equally well, they fairly beat ono another into a knowledge of Italian. Was not that a sensible use of

It is said, and in all seriousness, too, that a gentleman known to a good many readers of The Dispatch actually married a girl under t,h* impression that he was marrying her sister. His courtship of the other girl had been briof, and the sisters so closely resembled each other that he proposed and was accepted before he found out his mistake.

Eliminating Wall Flowers.

A scheme has been devised, says The Burlington Hawkeye, for making church socials pleasant. Each person is given a card on which a dozen names are written, and is required to talkflve minutes with each one whose imm« is on the card.

It isn't exactly progressive euchre, but it is built on the same plan.

A Writer in the City.

The truth is that the writer, in the bustling city, is exposed to a whole Iliad of afflictions unknown, or nearly so, to the writer in the quiet country town. The deafening hubbub of the great city—-a hubbub one can only liken to the roar of the mighty ocean—must, of course, have a potent influence on the writer and his timo for writing. It is only when a writer's ears have become beneficially blunted that he can write with any degree of ease amid the confusing din of traffic, of elevated roads, of steam whistles, of brass bands, of howling dogs, of screeching parrots, of tuneless barrel organs, of tinkling pianos, and of barbarians in the same house or next door who take savage delight in all strange and unlovely sounds.—L.

A rich society lady told her servant, "I wish I could be strong, healthy and full of life as you are!" The lesson is plain. The girl had plenty of exercise, and constitutional health and contentment. Riches will not buy health always, but broken-down women can find sure relief in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is a powerful, invigorating, restorative tonic and nervine, and imparts strength to the whole system in general, and to the uterine organs and appendages in particular. For "run down," debiliated and feeble women generally it is the greatest earthly boon.

Peculiarity of Postofflee Robberies.

"Postoffice robberies are generally a great deal like sleight of hand tricks," said an official of the New York postoffice to a reporter the other day. "They seem mysterious and incomprehensible until the manner in which they aro dono is brought to light, and then they seem simpler enough, ar.d wo aro ashamed that we were not able sooner to get at the bottom of so plain a case. But the simplicity of the methods used is the reason tfcat makes it so hard to discover the robber. It is often the ease in postoffice robberies, as in many others, that 'opportunity makes the thief.' A clerk or messenger may handle a certain pouch for a number of years and at last, perhaps by accident, notice how a valuable package may be taken and no trace left behind. If he happens to be a little weak minded and the temptation proves too great, he commits what may be his first crime. So the difficulty in detecting mail robbers is that each one is different fi-om all the others, and the detectives are obliged to learn anew lesson in each case."—Baltimore American.
