THE MAGAZINE GUN
Ifct a I'owcrful Weapon In tho Hands of
tho Jturul Soldier.
Even under tho most favorable conditions,
tho moEozIno gun changes Its range after each
Are, becnuso it Is lighter by tho weight of tho
fired cartridge. It Is, of course, evident that,
in tho hands of 11 si; 11 1 fu 1 nmn, u cool nnd in
telligent man, tho magazine gun is n power
ful weupon. Hut tho nvcrngo soldier, especial
ly Iiiin from tho rural districts, is awkward,
Kttipld, nnd excitable. Onco let him get to
work on tho lover of thu mngnziuo gun, nnd
it is ten to 0110 ho Ilres every uliot in his mag
nzino regardless of range, or breaks tho lover;
und. if, as is likely, it should prove difllcult to
restrain his unlor, tho quick handling of
troojis, chnngo of front, and tho llko might
bo seriously Impeded.
Whoever may havo followed tho vnrlons
trials that havo been made with tho maga
zine gun in tho hands of tho common soldier,
or nt least thoso fow which havo been pub
lished, can scarcely fall of surpriso that tho
great powers, ono nnd nil, should hnvo de
cided to adopt it. Of course it is to bo ex
pected that continunl handling will bring 11
certain amount of precision; but In theoodays
of great armies, when 1,00(1,000 men nro fet
nilcld by 11 single power, it is necessary to
count tho cost of learning' to uso a new
weapon, mid 10 icarn w netner or no it may
bo relied upon In times of excitement, when
roughly nnd awkwardly handled.
It was only n fow weeks ago when the
Ono Hundred nnd Thirty-second of tho lino

corps is 10 tno general stair of tho Oermnn

villi the remedy, which, of courso, U nothing
moro than singeing the top of each hair.
Tills, the customer is told, will Htop up the

ATTIRE OF LITERARY .WOMEN.
Not Slovenly In Their Dress Nor NcgU
Cent In Their Homekccpliig.
Thcro seems to le n prevalent opinion that
literary women nro, llko tho Illustrious jlrs.
Jellyby, slovenly In tholr dress as well as
negligent in their housekeeping. Both theso
chnrges remain to lie proved, however, anil
tho examination of the llrst -will bo qulto
enough for once. Jnno Austin nnd her sister
wcro remnrknbly nent in their dress, but
rather uul.eedful of tho fashionable and be
coming. It U said that they took to tho cos-
tiimo of iniddlo lifo leforo their looks or
years required it. Joanna Ilnillic was fond
of dress, and dressed exquisitely. With n
delicate, graceful llgure, not largo boned,
like many English women, sho woro her
own gray hair and pretty brown silk go'ns
and bonnets just right for an old lady.
Mary Lamb, tho devoted sister of tho de
lightful Charles, was nent nnd plain in her
dress, but slio did not change much with tho
fashions. However, sho affected 110 indlffer
enco to this delightful subject. Sho wrote
ton friend: "Idodcnrly love worked mus
lin," nnd sho took great delight in certain
silks sent her by a friend in China. Her
usual dress was of black stuff or silk, nnd
for tho great occasions there was u "dovo col
ored silk, with n kerchief of snow white mus
lin folded ncro.ss her bosom," and a cap, then
in fashion, with deep frilled border and a
bow on tori. At William Hnzlilt'.s wedding
sho hnd great dllllculty in deciding whether
her bridesmaid's dress should bo a "sprigged
gown'' or a "dead whitish bloom color" silk. '
With nil her dniiitincKs, sho often dipped her
delicate white hand into her tortoiso shell
snuff box.
When Chnrlotto Ilronto went to London
about the tlmo "Shirley" was published, sho
is described as "a young looking Judy, almost
childlike in stature, in 11 deep mourning dicss
neat as n Quaker. " Indeed, nentness was n
characteristic of Iier dress, ami tho coverings
of her hands nnd feet wcro always extremely
dainty. Hho loved modest npparcl and
thought 11 pink lined bonnet too gay for her.
while sho did not buy "beautiful silks of pnlo
sweet colors" at flvo shillings, as "sho had not
tho spirit nor tho means," but choso a blacl
silk at three shillings a yard. Emily lironto
was dro-fed while at school in Brussels in ill-
cut lank skirts and leg o mutton sleeves,
which sho liked and woro wliother in or out
of fashion. Harriot Mai tiucnu i3 described
as plainly dressed.
Of George Knots clothes wo know little,
savo that her gowns wcro plain nnd that over
her abundant hair, still untouched by gray,
sho woro a cap of laco or muslin with lappets
of rich point of Valenciennes, fastened under
her chin. When George band was yet
young girl sho woro a boy's blouse and
gaiters lor n raniblo over her rough country,
and later, in Pun's, io continued to go about

Dili) Outfit for 1'liroo Iti-ldi-H.
Wo hnvo just heard a btory of three very
Ingenious young ladles Hint is out of tho
ordinary. Thoso young ladies nro nil about
the same ngo and size mid by 11 singula
colncldeiico were nil to bo married about the
samo time. They were nil ambitious to have
swell weddings nnd shinning outllts, but their
pnrses were not long enough for both, and to
possesH tho latter oven was 11 financial puzzle
which gavo them many a sleepless night.
Finally they put their heads together and hit
upon n plan. I o avoid any unpleasant gossip
among their mutual friends and inevitable
companions, which is always odious, they de
cided to give up tho big wedding, but they
would havo tho bang up outfit by pooling
their moneys.
iNo. i, who was to bo man-led llrst, was to
innke 11 bargain with tho dressmaker to iiiako
any alterations desired in the trousseau after
Utho wedding was over and the three were to
go together to ueleet it, which they did, and
tho dress was inado up in the very pink of
fashion, with point laco enough to exhaust
tho stock of a Worth, and bride No. 1 was
married. The ceremony over, tho trousseau
was turned over to No. 'J, and sho took it to
tho, dressmnker for alteration according to
contract, and in it sho was married, after
which tho second refitting was done, and
again tho brilliant outfit stood before tho
marriage altar, and a third bride was the
envy of the few guests present liocaiiBo of the
gorgeous bridal decorations. How was tho
(Iresxpaid for? No. 1 paid half tho bill lie
cause she bad the llrt wear. Nos. U and !)
allured tho other half. No. it was willing to

did not have the privilege of the second wear,
slio by mutual consent kept tho dress.

THE HINDOO WIFE.
HOW THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE
IS MADE TO RUN SMOOTH.
Tho l'rcsent Condition of tho Hindoo
Widow Not Heretofore Correctly ltcpro
scntod ISulo of the Mother Piety and
the Until Uso of OH.
One of my newspapers lately contained a
short article from The linden Standard, en
titled "Hindoo Child Marriage." It described
as pltiabla tho lifelong stato of tho Hindoo
widow, who hnd never been 111010 than n
bride, her some years nominal husband hav
ing died when sho was a llttlo girl. A Ilengall
of Calcutta, a unlvei-slty graduate, and
wealthy member of society, on reading it says
that it is strongly put, and moreover applies
to 11 condition many years passed by; that
tho Hindoo widow as "apart and necursed,
her hair short or shaved wholly, in course
nnd often siptnlld garments, her instincts
starved into munition by comtntit fasts, n
silent, shunned, stiff, disfigured object, nnd
often hideously bald, forbidden nil ho)o of
joy," has some foundation, but it is intensi
fied, exaggerated, of even her condition fifty
years ago.
Slio fasts frequently, nt sVited days. She
ivenrs no coloi-s, but Hint makes little differ
ence, ns the present modo in Hengnl dresses
every lady of respectable rank in white, ex
cept that onthoedgo of her two wrappings
there is a narrow line, gold, pink, crimson,
etc., tho widow's robohcingonly distinguished
by the nbseuco of that outer line or thread of
color. Sho becomes Interested in the children
around her in tho house, biio is often a
favorite, and sho has a busy and useful plneo
in the Hindoo family.
Tin; JiOTiiKit's hum:.
A sapient Iirahmnu joined tlio conversation
barely by saying, "They havo liberty," as
contrasted to the restrictions ami tho obedient
condition of wifely women. So long, how-
over, ns the son's mother lives tin widow is
subservient. Sons stay at home, living with
tho parents. Daughters thus leave their own
parents us soon as they nro old enough totako
tho position of wives, tho mntrimonir.I vows
nnd obligations having been mudo in child
hood.
Tho oldest mother in tho household con
tinues to bo the highest social monarch in tho
house the despotic dictator, to whom all tho
family conventionally pays ceremonious def
erence. This Bengali gentleman, :12 vears old nnd
the father of six children, from the prompt
ings of ii happy experienco gavo a glowing
eulogy upon tho Hindoo social system. Tho
Hindoo pair, having been selected by adult
judgment, begin acquaintances as playmates,
grow into friends, ripen into lovers, and be
come, ns they were predestined, consorts. It
is acaso in which the course of tmo love
rims smooth, nnd he considers it 11 most ro
mantic career. He tells mo' thut tho homo
lifo of Hindoo women has littloor nothing in
tellectual or scholarly, but that it is very
rich in tho affections. From curly morning
nil tho time they nro busy in supervision of
tho management of tho little ones mid in pro
vision for the comfort and tho food of all.
1'ious dut3 and tho baths, two never neg
lected items, occupy no insignificant portion
of tho day. This mother, iclndy of V years,
fasts often becnuso she is a widow; has
bullied twice a day all her lifo and is in ex
cellent health. Tho usual bath, whether in 11
stream or in the house, is merely 11 pouring
of water over and over (ho bedy, mostly 011
the shoulders. Any other sort of wa-hiug of
tlio person they don't seem to consider "a
bath."

BISMARCK AND HIS BEVERAGES.
Tlio Ocriiiiin Statesman ns n Drinker.
A Dlploinntlc Neecmlty.
An interesting book on Ilismnrck has re
cently licon imbllshed here. Tho chapter de
voted to hLs feats of eating nnd drinking ia
especially remarkable.
At 0110 icriol o( his lifo tho great German
statesman uover restrained himself as to the
ipiautity of his beverages, and his youthful
exploits with rich, heavy wines liko llurgundy
wcro the marvel of tho country sido. Once
ho felt n littlo out of order internally nnd
hunted for two days without exorienciiig
any relief. IIo had inado nn engagement to
visit tlio ofllcera of tho Bradcnburg cuiras
seurs. Tho regiment had just como Into
tiossession of a now drinking cup. As tho
guest ho was to empty it first und then start
it 011 its journey around tho table. It held
about a bottlo full.
Bismarck drew n long breath, drained it to
tho last drop, nnd put tho cup back 011 the
table. Tho mess was astonished, as they bar
not expected such a feat from a civilian, but
it was ono ho had learned nt Gottiugcit. The
most surprising part of tho story is that tho
chancellor asserts that ho novcr felt better
than during tho month following.
Again, when hunting with Frederick Wil
limn IV, ho emptied at a singlo draught ono
of tlio fantastically curved cups dating from
tho reign of Frederick William I. It wn
mado of stag's horn, and so fashioned that
tho drinker could not placo bis lips squarely
on its mouth, and still nodropmvst be spilled,
It held nbout three-quarters of a bottle. Al
though filled with very dry champagne, the
princo.polished it off without, soiling tho wide
expanso of white vest over which ho was com
polled to hold it.
When ho called for another tho party
opened the.r eyes, but tho king said:
"No; one's enough."
Nor was this doneotrtof niero braggadocio.
When Uisinnrck began to learn thodiplomatic
trado it was considered indispensable that op
plicafTts should havo strong heads, other
wiso thov might bo easily overcomo with wine
nnd diplomatic secrets wortned out of them
in moments of obfusticntion; concessions
might bo forced from them, and their sig
natures obtained to documents they would
not recognize in their moments of sobriety
Thoso wcro tho days of two and three, bottle

A friend who has been in most ciuntrios of
tho world declares that you can get notliiii
lit to eat outsido of tho Unitod States.
"U I13," uo exclaimed once, "L couldn't get a
decent picco of pio from Liverpool to Yoko
hama!'' No ono but an American could have
said that. In spito of all our foreign impor
tatious and imitations, in spito of fashionV
frown and society's scorn, pio is still tho na'
tional dessert, nnd conies us naturally after
tlio midday meal ns tho l-reiichinim's cheese
after his evening diner. This is true of tho
city ns well of tho rural districts. It is not

minion confined to Now England and her
belt of colonies, reaching from tho Hudson to
tho Yellowstone. Pio may not hnvo great
voguo in tlio brown stone district of Now

cheaper restaurants und lunch rooms, where
tho great American middlo class clerks,
salesmen, artisans and tho liko go for their
dinners. There is n man in Mow York who
goes ubout among tlio printing ofllccs with 11
big tin box, full of littlo shelves. IIo is n
purveyor of lunches, and almost two-thirds
of his stock in trade consists of pic, and tho
rest mainly of sandwiches.
Thcro nro.a score of lunch rooms, in which
tho feeders sit in front of long counter.! on
high stools, und which sell nothing but sand
wiches, doughnuts, milk, pie, tea and coffee.
The uniform price at such places for sand
wiches and pio is llvo cents; and there are
moro men who mako their lunch 011 two
pieces of pio and a glass of mill: than of those
who take two sandwiches. There nro two
kinds of pies served in most of these places
tho ordinary, which is about eight inches in
diamctei , and of which a "pieon"' is half :i pie,
and tho "homo made," which is n foot ia
dinmoter and cuta up into sis or eight pieces.
The profit on this latter sort mu.-t bo pretty
large, for it soils nt ten cents 11 piece; and,
although it is twico as thick m tbo ordinary
land, it is made of no better material, und
cannot cost over twenty-ilvo cent. 'I he

AN ENGLISH STAG HUNT.

Dentil Stroke.
Wo nro on tho top of Porlock hill, nnd
southward and westward stretch tho rolling
hills of tho forest, scarred by the deep
coomlies and ravines, nt the bottom of which
luvariably runs a stream of wntcr, in which
minion nnd trout rjnuso many a whirl nnd
eddy. The grand old trees on the sloping
sides of theso coombes look so quiet and
stately that it seems ns if wo had left the
habited world nltogether. Northward, n
thousand feet below us, tho Atlantic ocean
rolls its waters up the Bristol channel, and
dashes its spray - 011 tho shingly bench
shadowed by tho trees and brushwood which
come quite down to tho water's edge. But
bark! There's a shout and the pealing of
Arthur's horn. .Something's afoot, "Is it a
stag or a hind J"' is the anxious inquiry of
everybody. "Ihero it goes up yonder slope,
Tis n hind, though, with n tufter hard nt her
heels." Tho hound is whipped olr, and ngain
wo wait. "That's 11 whimper, surely, below
there,' another, now a chorus from four or
fivo hounds, backed up by notes from a horn.
All eyes are eagerly watching tho edges of
the woods to see what breaks out. Crash I
"By Jove! there ho is, nnd n splendid fellow,
too. What n head! Brow, buv, and tray,
and three 'pon top." 'Ti3 a glorious sight to
seo him to; back hisnntlers nnd go at a long,
swinging gallop across the heather and disap
pear over tlio crest of the opposite bill.
Hurry is the word. Tighten your girths,
get into the saddle, and make up your mind
for a hard ride now, for the stag has gone
straight for tho moor, mid sobbing sides and
reddened rowels will tell their usual tide ere
wo set him up to bay; perhaps in "U'ntors
neet." Thy tuflcrs are whipped off, nnd Arthur
rides fast back for the pack, w hieh he quickly
brings up nnd lays on tho track. Justii min
ute tho hounds feather, then from old Chal
lenger's throat thcro comes a roar as ho
strikes tho lino; his comrades take up the
note, und for a. few minutes tho hills resound
to tho deep baying as each dog catches tho
mystic scent. Tliev rapidly settle down to
their long sweeping stride, und tho hunt has
fairly begun.
Wo nro in n good position, so fur, nnd feel
tho exhilarating effect of n moorland gallop
as tho heather glides under our horses' feet.
Down that coombc tho chase takes us,
along tho bottom, then up tho steep sides
over tho bowlder mid among tho larches.
Our borse.s must walk it. At last we reach
tho brow and observe a few hoi-semen vanish
over tho opposite side. AVo follow hard in
their wake, and soon can seo tho hounds heforo
nnd below us running fast and eleso to the
line. Arthur in his scarlet coat is close up with
them, ns also nro about half n dozen zealous
sportsmen. "Two hours, and not 11 check I"'
1'hew! Our horses are begiiining to feel tho
strain, nnd wo should not nt all object to
raw rein, but tho gallant beast ahead is
showing sport, and he leads us through tho
beautiful woods and glades of Horner, past
tlio old water mill, up tho stream, and across
tho side of old Dunkorry, the highest and
bleakest hill in tho west. Hero tho hounds
waver and lose tho scent. Ah! what a relief
to pull up and blow our hon-es. Fivo min
utes, nnd nn old hound hits tho lino ngain,
mid says so, and shows the way toward tho
fnmous valley where tho Doones had their
robber stronghold. Few aro thu riders now,
ns wo lead our foam covered horse.! don 11 the
tremendous declivity (none could ride down).
Again wo mount, dash through tho ford of
Bndgowortby Water, nnd stretch out for
SimousLalh. Wo take care- to avoid ridiuc
whero the bright green patches of seeming
bountiful galloping ground denote tho prcs-
nceot bogs, into v. Inch it Is dangerous to
mle. J .Ives are lost by getting into these
qunginin s, and frequenters of the mcor give
them r.3 w ide a bertrt as possible.
II11! The hounds swin' back towards
liiadgewoi tiiy Water, and tho st.iir is seen
below with lowered head now sotUiii'' the
cooliuir l-:i.1 ii of tlio waters. No time do U10
!o;.i give him, however, und ho sinks the hill
strni -lit this time. "It is nil u'i!'' We know

Publishers caution contributors to write only on

1. Tho diffcrenco comes from the early
division of England (by Alfred or earlier),
into shires or counties, and tho joining of
bouses in n neighborhood, for tho purposes of
protection in former rudo times, nnd called
tbo borough. Each has distinct political
privileges, which extend to tho towns they
comprise. Thus, in England, thcro nro what
nro called municipal and parliamentary
boroughs, tho former being a town (Liver
pool, for instance) having a municipal
government, nnd tho latter n town or dis
trict (sometimes including several municipal
boroughs), that sends n member or members
to parliament
ii. Tho object in writing only on ono sido of
tho paper is that tho mauuscript can lo cut
into parts, and each part given to a different
printer. Tho questioner will readily seo that
this would bo impossible when letters overlay
each other on two sides of ti sheet.

1. Tho custom of sending peoplo on empty
errands exists nil over the world. Oriental
scholars say it was derived from tho huli
feast among tho Hindoos, whero there is n
similar custAm. Others s'iy it conies from n,
celebration of Christ's lieing sent about be
tween Ilcrod, Pilate nnd Cuiuphus.
3. It has lieen supposed that thcro 13 somo

tin c quinoetiul periods (21st of March nnd
September), and the fact that tho ecliptic
(or npparcut track of tho sun as tho earth re

south of tho equator about Co degs.,) crosses
it at theso dates. If thero is any foundation

Somo say they camo from Asia; others,
from tho Phoenician and Carthagcnian colo
nies. Somo Biblical s-cholars have ngi-eed
that they descended from tho lost tribes of
Israel. One who has been much timoiig them
says that tradition, as well as what meager
history wo have iu the premises, tend to show
that they camo from noi-thea-sterii Asia, and
are an offshoot from the Jrarntchoo Tartars.
In tho caso of tlio Iavaj(H's und Apaches it is
so clearly proved that they tiro known us Ath
abascans. Tho Khoshono race, from which
coinoth" present Shoshone.-", Arrupuhoes and
Comanche?, camo down from British
America so recently that tho source of their
emigration is clearly proved. After them
came the Cheyennes mid kindred races.

British America that L',000 still remain thcro.
