POOR MAHK8MANSMIP.
iFlrlnu In Holti Army Jimt Nnvjr Lent Ac

Tho trnluliirr of wnvnl nrtlllorlHts lias
i In recent yen to boon given n good deal
or attontion, nml no end of powder and
uliot lias boon oxponded in targot prnctlco
doMlgned to servo a nioro tolling purposo
hi notunl warfare Hhonld tho occasion
prepont ItFolf. It would scorn, tlicroforo,
that tho lloating equipments 01 naval
powors of today ought to givo good ac
counts of themselves in point of marks
'maiiHliip if callod into action, though it
would bo presumptuous to nndcrtako to
foloshadow possiblo results. If. on tho
other hand, past oxporienco counts for
anything, thoro would seoin to have
boon a iiotablo dcelino in accuracy in
naval gunnery, growing with sucoes
sivo improvoments in naval architeoturo
nml naval armament.
It was estimated somo yoars ago
from data f urnishod by targot practico at
woa that a heavy gun must bo discharg
ed GO times to mako one ofTcctivo hit.
Tho old Hinootliborcs wcro credited with
killing a man by tho disehargo of tho
gun's woight in shot. In othor words,
thrco tons of 82 poundor Khot woro re
quired for tho purposo. Actual service
tost with modern high power guns,
howovor guns woighing 12 tons has
within tho past 10 or 12 years shown
that it took about 10 tons of projectiles
to accomplish tho samo thing.
It is Interesting to noto from what
statistics aro availablo that tho intro
duction of riflodmuHkots into tho armloH
lias had a somewhat similar result. The
old timo muskets, it is said, killed a
man by firing at him his own weight in
lead bullots, but tho modern rillo in the
hands of tho avcrago soldier, so it has
been figured out, does not effect a fatal
ity until it has discharged twico tho
man's woight in lead. Both hero as
in naval shooting, therefore, thero has
been shown to,Lo mi important doiiiaud
for greater skill and care. Whether this
has been met in any measure futuro hos
tilities only will tell. Cassier's Maga
zino. "ktfp" or "SlH-cU."
When I was a littlo boy, my play
mates at a country hchool in southeast
ern Indiana woro "skeets" and went
"skeotfiiR, " though tho villago boys
said "skates." I counted "skeot" a cu
rious corruption. Fancy jny surpriso at
meeting an old acquaintance in a far
off laud and in strango company, when,
long yoars afterward, I read tho passage
in Evelyn's "Diary" for tho year 10(12,
in which ho speaks of "having seen tho
strange and wonderful dexterity of the
sliders on tho new canal in Bt. .Tames'
park, perforui'd before tiieir majosties
by divers gontlemcn and others with
schcets after the manner of tho Hol
landers, with what swiftness they passe,
how suddenly they stop in full carriore
upon the ice, " and so forth. Tho eh in
"scliects" is Dutch, uud therefore
bounded llko"k."
i'eiiys tells of being at Bt. James'
park mi tho same days "Where I flmt
in my Hfii, it boing a great frost, did
beo jK'oplo sliding with their skoatos,.
which J n very pretty art." I hero dis
covered that tin ooiintry boys in tho
bills of Craig lowiiblilp, when they said
"rkmit," wt-ru only ono or two centuries
behind the fashion and wuru liking tho
word as pionounuod by Charles uud his
courtiui when Ihey brought tho "very

Tho manufacture of wrought Iron find
iteol must havo been entered upon con.
tcmporaneonsly with that of cast iron,
os John Endlcott of Salem, tho first gov
ernor of Massachusetts Bay, wroto to
Governor John Winthrop at Boston,
Dee. 1, 10-12, "I wish to hoar much of
your son's iron and stcol, " tho son lw
ing John Winthrop, Jr., who was in
terested in tho Saugus Iron works at
Lynn, Mass.
Tho iron works also included a ma
chlno shop, from which tho first Are en
gines in America wero built for tho
town of Boston, in accordance with a
voto of tho town mooting, March 1,
1051, that "tho select (nioii)havo iwwm
and liberty to agreo with Joseph Jynks
for ingins to convoy wator in case of
Are, if they soo causo so to do. " Al
though tho works woro in operation
very soon after building was com
menced, yet additions wero undo dur
ing a number of years. In lfl-l n order
of tho goncral court shows t'.iat tho
works had "some tons of sov.'u ircn c.st
and some others in roadincsu for tho
forgo," and letters of Govu' Win
throp in August and Soptember, 1048,
state that tho furuaco produced seven to
elfaht tons per week. Tho principal prod
uct was bar iron "as good nt tlm Span
ish," costing 20 por ton; aho axes and
agricultural implements. Albert Spies
in Cassier's Magazine
The Power of Music.
To forco a crowd of pcoplo to movo
fast or slow at their will was a fr.vorito
joko with two young mon who had a
talent for music. When traveling to
gether, thoy would seok a rotirod Wn
dow, or oven the roof of the hotel wh'-ro
thoy wcro stopping, and with n drum
and llfo play a march for pedestriaos
bolow. It was thoir delight to trQ th'
pooplo going faster or slower, as they
chose.
Sometimes a brisk moasuro was se
lected, and then tho stream of pooplo
flowed fast. Again, a slow Umo Pfit
thoir feet to crawling. It often happen
ed that tho attcntiou of the musicians
would bo attracted to tho peculiar walk
of somo person who, having no musio
in his soul, could not bo brought into
stop. In that easo thoy porformed Mo
hammed's miracle of tho mountain, and
accommodating llfo and drum to his salt
brought tho rest of tho street into tho
samo pace.
On warm days thoy did cruel oxocu
tiou. Often did it happen that somo
stout old gontloman would bo prooipi
tated for somo distance at a llvuly rate
under tho hot sun nild would disappear
from sight as a brisk and fiery exocutimi
of "Tho Girl I Left Bohihd Mo" carried
him steaming rouud a comer. London

"Thcro aro moro rniipio experiences
to bo encountered in seiving writs and
various legal documents than in almost
nny other business," remarked r. young
lawyer tho other day to a Chicago Her
ald reporter. "The constablo and tho
deputy sheriff aro required to do moro
'strango things in tho lino of duty than
any ono elso I ever heard of.
"Onoof tlioin nttachod a horsofor mo

thing was right. Wo located tho horso
first, and when tho stablo boys found
out what tho trouble was about thero
was tho greatest furor you over saw.

"Thoy kopt up a regular fnsillado
while tho deputy and I wero looking for
tho owner, but wo paid no attention to
them. When wo finally found tho own
er, ho did not seem inclined to pay.
Thero was n dispute as to tho claim, ho
said, but ho admitted that ho had put
his uamo to tho noto that wo had sued
on. Ho could not pay that aftornoon
anyway, aud tho deputy wanted to tako
tho horbO right nway. I was opposed to
that, howovcr, for ho was entered in a
raco for tho next day, and it Boomod un
fair to prevent his running.
" 'Vou stay with tho horso, ' I said to
the deputy. 'Ho is in your chargo and
you simply remain with him.'
" 'All night?' ho asked.
"'Certainly,' I repliod. 'Givo tho
owner a chance to raiso tho money. If
ho doesn't succeed, you can tako tho
horso away tomorrow. '
" 'But whero will I sleep?' ho inquired
anxiously.
"'Wherever tho owner docs,' 1 re
turned. 'Ho lives out hero bomowhero.'
" 'Where do you Sleep?' ho askod tho
owner.
" 'I sleep with tho horso, was tho ro
ply. "Tho deputy looked thoblooded ani
mal over and boomed in doubt. But it
was buhinc68, and ho mado tho best of it
Uu growled a littlo, but ho slept that
night with the horso aud Its owner.
And tho next day tho note was paid."
