Why the Mt-n Aw Allowed to Indulge
In Athletic Sport..
To hoc a thirteen inch gun loaded
and tired is it sight not to bo forgotten.
The projectile is thirteen inches in
diameter, about three feet la length
flail weighs 1,100 pounds. The powder
Charge for target practice is 2.">0
pounds. The cost for each shot Is
about $500. When ail is ready on the
range the signal siren Rounds, there Is
n blinding Hush, n roar like thunder
Hnd a jarring shock. Then you hear
the whining screech of the shell, for
all tlie world like a fast express round
ing a sharp curve. The projectile Is
visible almost from the time it leaves
the gun. You see It rip through the
target and strike the water beyond,
throwing up n column of liquid many
feet high. The shell skips, much like
the flat stone “skipper” of our boy
hood, unit lignin a column of water
shoots np two miles or more further
out, to he repented time and again.
The shell In Its llight can tie watched
without the aid of glasses for eight
| miles or more In clear weather.
1 While the life of a sailor, from cap-
. tain down to apprentice, Is an nlinost
[ continual round of work, some time Is
found for athletic sports, such ns
boat racing, football and hnsehall. The
object of this Is to give the men roc-
I real Ion and at the same time to foster
the spirit of competition. Besides, It
makes the men easier to manage. The
ship with a strong football or baseball
team or the fastest race boat almost
invariably tins a happy and easily
managed crow—a crew that will swear
tlmt Its officers are (lie finest men In
i ttie world, and likewise the officers
swear by such a crow. Some ships
have training tables for their athletic
teams, the expense usually being de
frayed by tlie officers. The team or
boat crew, as the ense may tie. Is
petted by the officers and Idolized by
the crow, and for some time before «
hard contest tlie men nr« excused from
various duties In order ttiat they mny
give more time to training.
Every battleship and cruiser tins its
race boat, purchased by contributions
from officers and men. The prices paid
for these boats Is, as a rule, contingent
upon Iheir winning certain specified
races. The builders are willing to take
a chance, knowing that, the crow will do
Its host to win. For a winning boat the
price Is often as much ns $1,000, while
for n hont Hint proves less speedy the
builder will accept $500 or less. On tlie
result of n fleet boat race ns much as
$;t().iNN) lias been known to change
hands, and large sums are also
wagered on baseball and football
games. This Is, of course, contrary to
the totter of the regulations; but the
■porting Instinct Is IIS strong In the
navy us elsewhere—and It Is not always
possible to bold down tho lid.—Leslie’s
Weekly.
The Last Mn.lcThnt Theodore Thoa-
na llenrd on Earth.
1 airing the Inst Illness of Theodore
Thomas, although he was not nt any
time unconscious or delirious, ho hard
ly noticed the members of his family
ns they came and went nt the bedside.
Blit one morning he seemed to be bet
ter.
Ho made little Jokes with the doctors
nml his sons nml talked about his
White mountain home. At 12 o'clock
he seemed tired. The editor of Ills
autobiography says Unit he sunk into
u dreamy state, and then roused him
self to say to his wife In u lingering,
ecstatic voice:
“I have had a beautiful vision—a
beautiful vision”’
Then he drifted off Into silence.
His wife thought he was tired and
went downstairs to luncheon, but chief- |
ly with ihe purpose of leaving him to i
rest. He hnd given her n chime of .
hells, to be used In summoning tlie
futility to meals, and because of his 1
Illness they had never been rung in the
house. Now, because he seemed so
much better, she played on them n lit
tle bugle call that came Into her bend. |
“Ho you know wind you have play- :
rd?” asked one of the family. “Taps—
the rail that Is sounded over the graves
of dead soldiers.”
Stie rushed back to the bells and
played tho cull engraved on n metal |
plate above them. Afterward she |
found ttiat tills was reveille, the sol- '
dler*s signal to rise.
So It had clmnced that tho last mu
sic Theodore Thomas heard on earth
liml been symbolic of denth and the
resurrection.—Youth's Companion.

Resolutions in Memory of
T. R. Bingham. Sr.
To Close Christmas Day.
To tho Worshipful Master, War
dens and brethren of Bighatn
Lodge, No. r».’l, F. & A. M.:
Whereas, the grim monster
death has once more invaded our
ranks and removed from the stage
of action our worthy co-laborer,
Brother T. It. Bingham, Sr., who
died in Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 8th,
11)00; mils seventy-four years of
age, was a charter memlier of our
Lodge, and served as Worshipful
Master several terms.
Therefore, lie it resolved; First;
That it beoometh us always to sub
mit with meekness of heart to the
dispensation of the Grand Master
aliove, who divinely rules in all
things terrestrial and super-rules
a itli unerring hand in the celes
tial realms above. Yet we keenly
fool the loss of Hro. Bingham, who
loved masonry, and spent his sub
stance freely for the cause; M as al-
Mays ready to give information
and instruction to less informed
brethren and prompt to go where
duty called.
Resolved, Second: That in the
death of Brother Bingham the
Lodge lias lost a loyal member and
Free Masonry a worthy advocate.
Resolved, 3rd: That M e extend
to all the bereaved ones our tender-
e.st sympathies, and recommend
them to tlie care of the Supreme
Grand Master, upon whose level
they may always walk to meet
their loved ones again and have
their sorrows appeased.
Resolved, Fourth: That a page
in our record book be inscribed to
his memory and these resolutions
la* spread upon our minutes and a
copy bo furnished the family of
the deceased; also published in the
Newnan News and Herald and
Advertiser.

That the earth will eventually dry up
and all living tilings m'III die of thirst
1h the theory of n scientific writer. He
suys that In both Africa and Asia, and
Indeed In all tlie great levels of the
world, the wntor beds aro drying up.
Many lnkos well known during tlie his
torical period have entirely disappear
ed, while others are shrinking rapidly.
“Explorations In central Asia hnve
proved tlmt for centuries a zone stretch
ing from tlio oust to tho southeast of

been drylug np. Deserts are gradually
spreading, and reports show that it Is
only in the neighborhood of mountains,
round M'liose brows vapors condense
and fall, tlmt Irrigation enn be carried
on or life Itself can be preserved.”

“Wasps aro exceedingly dainty In
tlielr habits,” says a writer In tho Pil
grim, “and, In order Unit they may
gratify tlielr Instinct for neatness to the
utmost, nuture has provided them M'tth
a set of marvelously delicate combs
nml brushes. If we look closely nt tho
M’lisp’s legs we will find that each bears

movable spines, known us the apical
spurs, nml If we examine these tvltli a
magnifying glass each Is seen to be
provided with a row of fine teeth, so
that tho apparatus answers fora coarse

“Tlio tidying up process consists of
various perfectly definite steps, usually
taking place In a particular sequence.
First, It passes both front legs over the
face from above downwnrd, and after
repeating tills movement severul times
draws them through tlie Jaws. This Is
to remove any foreign substance which
may hnve collected on them. Tho legs
are then passed backward from the
forehead, much as we should smooth
back our lmlr. The wings are then
stroked again and again from the base
to the tip, although the most careful ob
server would fn.ll to detect anything
upon them. The abdomen Is next care
fully stroked from base to tip until
every hair points lu the right direction
and n gloss ns fine as saUn is attained.
Last of all, each of the six legs, In turn.
Is laboriously drawn between two of Its
fellows, so tho M’asp Is once more ready
to fuco Its world.”
All work guaranteed to be First Class in every particular.
Parties needing anything in our line are requested to call,
examine work, and get prices.

An American in London once attend
ed u dinner whore Henry Arthur Jones
told a story about Beerbohm Tree.
"Mr. Tree,” suid the playn-rlght, "met
a friend of bis one afternoon In Regent
street.
"The two stood and conversed a little
while, and then Mr. Tree said:
“ 'Have you been down to see roe act
lately, my boy?
“ ‘No; too poor,' said the other.
“ 'Too poor,’ Mr. Tree exclaimed.
•Why, you spend enough on wine and
cigars’—
"But the other, nettled, interrupted.
“ ‘I don't mean I’m too poor. I mean
you’re too poor,’ he said.”
Crump In (he L.s>.
People who aro subject to cramp In
the legs should always be provided
with a good strong piece of cord, espe
cially In their bedrooms. When the
cramp comes on take the cord, wind It
round tlie leg over tlie place where It
Is cramped, take an end In each hand
and give it a sharp pull, one that will
hurt a little, and the cramp will cease
Instantly. Feople much subject to
cramp In bed hnve found great relief
from wearing on each leg a garter of
wide tnpe which has several thin slices
of cork stitched on to It.
