"Owing to a Nebraska smash-up I got left in a little Nebraska town one night a year ago," said a drummer, "and the way I came into contact with a trust made my hair stand up.

"The landlord had three sons, and when they began to mix in I turned on them and gave 'em some redhot talk.

Her Sincerity Questioned.--Congressman Bingham is telling about the very handsome and popular wife of a senator who has been well to the fore in Washington affairs since last December, says the Philadelphia Times. Mrs. Senator was recently accosted at a very fashionable reception by an overdressed, affected woman, the wife of a western lobbyist, and asked: "Have we met before? Your face seems very, very familiar to me." "I do not think we've met," replied Mrs. Senator, graciously. "Perhaps, you've seen my pictures. There have been many of them in the magazines recently." "That's it!" exclaimed the stranger. "I've seen you in the magazines. And I want you to tell me, if you will, is that soap you indorse really as good as you say it is?' N Why She Liked Shop Talk.?They had been talking at the rate of fully 18 to the dozen, those two fair young damsels, and the subject of their conversation was, of course, the wise and witty sayings, the charms of manner and other admirable traits of character possessed by their respective sweethearts. "Don't you like to have anybody talk shop when they come to see you?" gurgled Mary. "Indeed I do. Who's been talking shop to you?" "Oh, Charlie, of course! He's a tram conductor, you know, and nearly every time goes on with the shop talk." "What does he say?" "Sit closer, please."?London Answers. Wasted Energy?"Mad!" he exclaimed. "Of course, I'm mad.

And now #that we have exchanged confidences I find that she was working just as hard to get me, and it makes us both mad to think of the waste of effort." Frontier Judge and Jury.?A group of representatives were in the cloakroom telling stories of their experience in court, when Delegate Smith contributed this incident from Arizona, says I the Washington Post. Out in one of the border towns a case was in progress, one of the lawyers being an eastern man who was new to the country. "Will you charge the jury, your honor?" he asked.

On the other hand the trusts never say a word about putting up prices. But the prices go up, just the same." ?he ?tori) ?rllcr. ASPECTRAL SEA FIGHT [Original.] It was the 23d of September, 1879. , I was alone on a wreck in the German i ocean. There were neither provisions < nor means of propelling the vessel. I i gave myself up for lost. ' 1 was lying on the deck only partly 1 conscious when I heard, or thought I heard, a ship's bell. It struck six times, and I knew that the hour was 7 o'clock, j I knew it was evening, for the full ' moon mingled Its rays with the long 1 twilight of that high latitude. Rising, : I crawled to the gunwale and looked over the starboard quarter. ' * ? ?1 +l>/\ <-if o ?n onH otrlrxno ^ A. vessel Ujrlli? Hie niuia Huu ouipva was sailing past with all her canvas 1 set. And what a vessel! She was J built up very high In the poop and cut away at the bow, a sort of prow projecting with a figurehead. She was a ' man-of-war, with ports open, showing the muzzles of her guns. I counted 1 fourteen guns 011 her main deck and four astern on a deck below. This was her broadside. The officers wore a 1 uniform which I had seen In pictures ] of a hundred or more years ago. A < slender man stood on the quarter deck with a glass to his eye. Looking in the J direction It pointed, I saw another ship 1 similar In build, also a man-of-war. 1 The British ensign was at her peak. ( There were other vessels scattered < about, but 1 took no notice of them, > being profoundly interested in these J two, evidently about to meet In combat ' The American wore ship and backed 1 his topsail, bringing his broadside to ' bear on the Englishman. I saw a man 1 on the latter cry out, evidently to hall 1 the other, but heard no sound. A sec- ' ond time he hailed. I saw smoke 1 plumes leap from the American's side, and still I beard no sound. I was too weak to stand longer and I sank back on the deck. On the one ] hand was the moon silently mounting 1 the sky, on the other the fierce though < silent battle. Both pussed from my 1 vision for a time, for 1 became uncon- 1 scious, but when I recovered and rose 1 to look over the gunwale there were 1 the two men-of-war locked In an em- ' brace of war. j It was uow night, and 1 could see ] only by moonlight. The American was 1 lashed to the Englishman's forward ' anchor. The man I had seen on the ] quarter deck was firing shots at his ene- { tnies, who seemed to be endeavoring to cut the vessels loose. Marines were ? loading the pieces for him, and be ' picked off every man who approached j the lashings. Meanwhile the Britisher < was tiring her guns right through the ] American's main deck. I could see that ] the American's dark hulk had settled , in the water. Then a light burst forth ] between decks. "She will burn if she , j ?- ~i~l' " unl/l "nnH cho dt)1] UUl'b UUl aiilix, t otwu, uuv. w?_ siuk if she docs not burn." And then cuuie the strangest thing of all. I could see by the tirellght men on the doomed vessel bailing water that was sinking the ship to put out the fire. Lushed to a stronger ship, burning, sinking, broadsides continually pouring through her, she was still endeavoring to conquer. Was there ever pluck like that on sea or land? Surely there must be some god of war | on that wrecked vessel to breathe the spirit of invincibility into its unconquerable crew. And there was. On the deck stood the slender mau, he who with his own hands kept his enemy from the lashings, lighted by tire and moon, gesticulating, doubtless swearing, directing every detail, every man to do the part assigned him, and inspiring all with his own marvelous courage. The American had ceased firing with her cannon. At any rate, she was so wrapped with the other in smoke that if she fired I could not tell. Sailors with muskets were on the foretop, the maintop, the fnlzzentop; marines were on the quarter deck, the poop deck and top of the roundhouse. They were firing muskets and hand grenades, but as their enemies were all on the lower deck they were protected. Men crawled out on a yurdarm of the American and dropped hand grenades on the enemy, one of which fell in an open hatchway and exploded below with a terrific sound. Soon after this a sailor leaped over the Britisher's rail, followed by boarders, and in a few minutes the British ensign was hauled down. This is the last I remember of the night. When I came to consciousness again, the sun stood where the moon had been and was blinding me with his Intense light. Rising, I swept the horizon with my eye. Not a vessel was In sight. The sea rolled on smoothly, silently, as If it had never been disturbed by the reverberation of guns. One effect remained with me. If those men on that burning, sinking vessel could conquer, why should I despair? Going below. I found fishing tackle and an ax. With the ax I sacrificed my own finger and with this for bait caught a fish. I had matches in my pocket and made a fire, heated sea ?-?

Tlie Greatent Cannon In the World Completed at Watervllet. There has just been completed at the United States arsenal at Watervllet, N. Y., a 16-lnch B. L. rifle, which, according to Colonel J. P. Farley, of the ordnance department of the United States army, is the most powerful gun in the world. It is the first of a series of similar gigantic weapons to be constructed for the coast defense of the United States. The Endlcott board, which was appointed during the first administration of Grover Cleveland, had the whole subject of seacoast defense under consideration for a considerable period of time, and reached the conclusion that 18 of these weapons should be provided for the protection of New York, that 10 of them should be mounted at San Francisco, 8 at Boston and 4 at Hampton Roads. Other rifled guns of large caliber heretofore constructed are the Italian gun, caliber 17.76 inches, the French gun of 16.5-inch caliber, and the Armstrong gun of 16.25-inch caliber, which is carried on the battle ships Benbow and Sans Pareil. Not one of these compares, in point of energy and range, with the 16-inch gun just completed for Uncle Sam. The range and energy of A morlnon mm will vorv with thp quality and amount of powder used, and the question of the actual performance of the gun can therefore only be determined by actual trial tests. With smokeless powder as at present proposed, the gun requires a powder charge of 576 pounds, but if the old black powder is used 1,176 pounds will be required. With a maximum powder pressure of between 37,000 and 38,000 pounds to the square inch it is estimated that the gun will throw a projectile weighing 2,370 pounds with a muzzle velocity of 2,300 feet per second, developing a muzzle energy of 88,000 foot tons; out it is not improbable tnat by using a slower burning powder, giving a less maximum pressure, the gun would develop even greater velocity and and energy than this, with a relatively small increase in the chamber pressure. Even on the basis given above, however, this gun shows enormous superiority to any of the large' guns above mentioned. The Itanan gun, for instance, throws a projectile weighing 2,000 pounds with a muzzle velocity of 1,700 feet per second and an energy of only 40,000 foot ions, considerably less than one-half that of the new American weapon. The French gun throws a projectile weighing 1,700 pounds with a muzzle velocity of 1,700 feet per second and develops a maximum energy of 36,000 foot tons. The English gun throws a projectile weighing 1,800 pounds with a muzzle velocity of 2,100 feet per second and a total energy of 51,000 foot tons. The maximum energy of the Italian, French and English guns is thus 45, 41 and 65 per cent., respectively, of that of the American gun. The most spectacular feature in connection with Uncle Sam's big gun is its enormous range, which is estimated at about 21 miles, or, to be exact, 20.978 miles. This theoretical range has been calculated by Maj,'rJames H. Ingalls, Fifth United States artillery, for many years instructor at the artillery school for officers at Fort Monroe, Va. His firing table, prepared especially for this gun, shows that the above range is ob tainable with a muzzle velocity of 2,300 feet per second, with the necessary angle of elevation of the piece, and that in ranging to the distance indicated the shell would reach the maximum elevation of 30,516, feet, or a little short of six miles. This is much greater than the maximum range hitherto obtained by any other gun, the record of actual performance at present standing to the credit of the Krupp 9.45-inch gun, which was fired in the presence of the emperor of Germany on April 28, 1892. The measured range was found to be 22,120 yards, or, roughly speaking, 121 miles. The greatest height reached by the Krupp shell in its flight was '21,456 feet, or a little more than four miles, and the time occupied between the firing of the gun and the striking of the projectile was 70.2 seconds. It was pointed out that had this gun been placed at Pre St. Didier, in the Alps, elevated to 44 degrees, and fired, its shell would have ranged 8,956.8 feet higher than Mont Blanc, and its fall would have been in the neighborhood of Chamounix, on the other side of the mULMllctlMS. But this performance, great as It was, becomes positively insignificant compared with the capabilities of the new American gun. If the latter were set up at the battery, at the lower end of Manhattan Island, in the city of New York, Its estimated range of 21 miles means that its projectiles would be carried northward as far as Hastings-on the-Hudson: northeasterly as far as New Rochelle; southerly, far above and beyond the southern extremity of Staten Island: westerly several miles beyond Patterson. The extreme* height of the trajectory of the gun being, as already said, 30,516 feet, it follows that its shell would be thrown to a height ecpial to the combined height of Mont Blanc and Pike's Peak, with about 600 feet to spare. The contract for the forgings of the 16-inch gun was let to the Bethlehem Steel company on December 30, 1896, to be delivered within 18 months; but oth er types 01 guns Demg more urgently demanded, work on these forgings was not commenced till May 14, 1898. From that time the work was carried forward as expeditiously as desired by the government. The total length of the lC-inch monster is 49 feet 2.9 inches. The length of the main bore is 37 feet 4.5 inches, with a diameter of 16 inches. The nickel steel ingot from which the tube for this gun was cast at the Bethlehem works weighed 222,300 pounds, or 99.2 gross tons, and the gun, as it rests in the arsenal at Watervleit, almost ready for shipment to Sandy Hook, where it is to be tested, weighed 252,000 pounds, of 126 tons. Here are a few other interesting facts relative to the big gun: Length of the projecti.e, 5 feet 4 inches. Penetration of steel, estimated, 42.3 inches. Cost of firing the gun once $1,000. Weight of the tube alone, 33 tons. Weight of tube, jacket, and hoops, 98.5 tons. Just when the gun will be tested is not yet known, probably not before late fall. No carriage has been made for it, and several months will probably elapse before this additional work Is completed. If the gun comes up to the requirements of the ordinance board it will no doubt be permanently installed at Sandy Hook, and work on other guns of like caliber, for Boston, San Francisco, and Hampton Roads will be undertaken as soon as possible.?Chicago Tribune. THE USE OF COTTON SEED OIL AS FOOD. How K Came Into General Use and Why it Gained in Popularity-"lt is Safe and Wholesome. From the earliest Bible times to the present day nations of the countries surrounding the Mediterranean have made the oil of the olive one of their principal articles of diet. It is used In all cooking operations and replaces the butter and lard of the nations in northern Europe. There is no question but what a pure vegetable oil is a most useful and healthy article of diet. We never read of dyspepsia and troubles of a similar nature among the people of the Levant, doubtless because the fat taken as a necessary part of a well regulated diet is always taken as a pure vegetable oil. In our own country up to within the last few years oil has been used but little as an article of diet, except by Europeans who have made their homes in our midst. We have clung to the traditions of our Saxon ancestors and used the hard fats prepared from hogs and cattle. The people 01 mis country are uegiiiiiuiB iu realize their mistake. Throughout our southern States we have trees, small it It true, but great In numbers, which produce a fruit far more wonderful than the olive, we refer to our cotton plant. Its fiber clothes the world, its seed yields an oil which is unrivaled in sweetness and purity by the finest product of the pressed olive. Cotton seed oil was refined In small quantities prior to the Civil war. It found its way to Europe and came back In fancy bottles mixed with olive oil. In the early 80's the production of the oil Increased rapidly. Great quantities finding their way to Chicago in mysteriously marked packages, the contents of which properly blended with other material, traveled all over the world in the form of lard. (, About the year 1887 it was discovered that the amount of lard shipped from Chicago greatly exceeded the weight of all the hogs received and an investigation was instituted by Congress which brought forth the Information that the product of the cotton seed was entirely unobjectionable as an article of diet and liable to be preferred by many to that of the hog. For various reasons our people have always been prejudiced against the oil itself, though eating large quantities of it in the form of lard compound. This prejudice is no doubt largely due to the faulty refining methods used by many of the manufacturers who turned out an oil of unpleasant flavor which gave off very disagreeable odors in cooking. Modern science has shed its rays on this great product of our section and the oil is now produced in enormous quantities, absolutely free from odor and flavor and almost colorless. Shipped in barrels it finds its way into the largest bake shops of the country, where it takes the place of many tons of lard and butter. Packed in hermitically sealed cans it is invading kitchens of our best families. It is making friends everywhere. The greatly extended use of cotton seed oil in the household has added greatly to the wealth of our farmers by making a sure market for all the seed which they can produce. This rapid increase in the use of the oil has only been made possible by improved refining methods which were the results of long, patient and expensive experiments by the leading company in the business. Such experiments could iinlv ho morio hv tho MmhInpH rp sources centered in a large corporation which can command the needed brains and materials and furnish the necessary money outlay to conduct expensive experiments on a practical scale. The farmer of the south has no better friend than the large companies who are daily striving to improve the product oi his cotton seed and extend the use of cotton seed oil as a food product, and the most successful of these companies in the manufacture of these products is the Southern Cotton Oil Company, whose works are at Savannah, Ga., and who have headquarters and general offices in Columbia, S. C., Savannah, Ga., Atlanta, Ga., and Charlotte, N. C., any of which will gladly furnish information. Some Reasons Why You Should Insist on Having EUREKA HARNESS OIL Uneaualed by any other.
