There la a good deal of talk lately about big guns, rapid-firing guns, rifles of various bore, mortars and the Lite, but few people know much about these war appliances or bow much It costs to Are them or the size of the projectiles they throw or the range of the gun. Among the largest, tf It fa not the very largest of our coast-defense guns Is the 16-1 bc monster, so named from the diaaneter of its bore. It throws a proj ectile wedKhiog 2,3.50 pounds for a dis tance of sixteen miles with a velocity so great that at a distance of two miles It will pierce the bent teel armor twenty-seven and a half Inches thick. It requires 1.0.V) pounds of powder for a charge and the roust of each discharge la about StiV). On tlie wai-Rhtiia rh bigh-powemi guns are uwuaUy the 8- iaeh, 10-inch, 12-inch and 13-inch rifles. The first-named throws a shot weigh ing 300 pounds and the powder charre is 125 pounds. Kttch shot coots the gov ernment about $175. The other guns are proportionately more effective and expensive. The breech-loading mor tars, used in coast-dwfense, a. usually of the 12-inch variety and throw a shell with a time fuse Into the air. so that It may fall upon the deck of a vessel and explode. The shells weigh from 800 to 1,000 pounds and are charged with from eighty to 105 poutKJi of powder. The charge of the gun com plete cents about $475. The rapid filing guns on Che war vessels are bmx h loading cannon and throw sboU vary ing In weight from one pound to 125 pounds, and the powder charge Is about one-third the weight of the projectile. T ' A railroad lawyer In New England eJatms that there la no difference be tween a wheI!Tow and a bicycle. when It comes to a question of personal baggage. He evidently never tried to aide wheel-barrow. The Boston Globe objects because Che New York Tribune refers to Ed ward Atkinson aa "the distinguished statistician and author of Boston." The point la well token; it la manifestly unfair to make Mr. Atkinson father such a responsibility. TOeee guns also throw shells made of brass, copper or steel and can be fired at the rate of Cram ten to twenty tffmes a minute, according to their size. The smallest shots cost 50 cents and the large $8. The larger guns with ten discharges a minute would therefore use up $80 In that time, or $4,800 an hour. For a vessel armed 11 ke the Mas sachusetts an hour's engagement would cost a good deal over half a million of dollars for her guns alone, to say Both ing of any damage she might sustain The lMnch gun can be fired once each two minutes, and in an engagement, it ft were fired twenty times, the cost would be $13,000. The Ufe of this gun Is supposed to end with Its hundredth shot. Modern guns consume an enor mous amount of money when in use. f The unanimity with which Congress voted President Cleveland the money far the Veneiuelan boundary commis sion waa a great surprise to Europe. In (act, Europe was impressed to a de ars that It didn't care to own. That Instructive object-lesson haa recently bean repeated.

This sdded value has been espe cially noticeable in the Mississippi Val ley, and one of the newspapere of Cleveland, Ohio, asserts that In the neighborhood of that city the change Is very marked, and that men with mon ey at command are looking upon such property, either for loans or Invest ments, far more favorably than they did last spring. All of this is gratify ing both from aa economic and from a social point of view. The pushing of electric railroads through parts of the country that were not hitherto known, except to pedestrians bent on exercise, by artists or botanista, or by those wh caught glimpses of forests and fields from a car window, a well as the knowledge which haa come through the almost universal use of the bicycle, haa made possible the retora of the "Wayside Inn," aa Immortal) ted by Longfellow, and haa aiwueed a love for country homes, such as Is so deeply felt by the comfortably situated por tiena af the people of England. There are.

Job ixitH., 21. "And now men see not the bright lisht which is in the clouds.' Windeaat. Barometer falling. Sturm signals out Ship reefing maintopsail. Awnings taken in. Prophecies of foul weather everywhere. The clouds congre gate around the aun, proposing to abolish Inni. But after awhile be awiaiU the flanks of the clouds with flvinc artillery of light, and here and there ia a aign of clearing weather. Many do not observe It. Many do not reallre it. "And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds." In other words, there are 100 men looking for storm where there is one man looking for sunshine. My ob ject will be to get yon and myself into the delightful habit of making the beat of everything. Too may have wondered at the statis tic that in India in the yesr 1875 there were over 19.000 people slain by wild l-Mt.N. ami that in the year 1876 there were in India over 20.000 people destroy ed by wild animals. But there ia a mon ster in our own land which is year by year destroying more than that. It Is the old bear of meluacholy, and with gospel weapons I propose to chaae it back to its i-averns. i mean to do two sums a snm in subtraction and a sum in addition a subtraction from your days of a-prwiion and an addition to your days i joy. it ;oi will help me, I will com pel yon to see the bright light that there is in the clonds and compel you to make the best of everything. In the first place, you ought to make the very best of all your financial misfor tunes. TMiring the panic a few years sgo you all lost money. Some of you lost it in most nnaccountable ways. For the question. "How many thousands of dol lars shall I put aside this year?" yon aub stitnted the niiestion. "How shall I pay my butcher and baker and clothier and landlord?" You bad the sensation of rowing hard with two oars and yet all the time going down stream. Vou did not say much about it because It waa not politic to speak much of finan cial embarrassment, but your wife knew. Less variety of wardrobe, more eceuomy at the table, self-denial in art and tapes try. Compression, retrenchment. Who did not feel the necessity of it? My friend, did you make the best of this? Are yoa aware of how narrow an escape you made? Suppose you bad reached the for tune toward which you were rapidly go ing? What then? You would have been aa proud as Lucifer. What Is Success T How few men have succeeded laraeiv In a financial sense and ret maintained their simplicity and religious consecra tion! Not one man of 100. There are glorious exceptions, but the general rule is that in proportion as a man gets well off for this world he gets poorly off for the next. He loses his sense of dependence on God. He gets a distaste for oraver meetings. With plenty of bank stocks and plenty of Government securities, what does that man know of the prsyer, "Give me this day my daily bread?" How few men largely successful in this world sre bringing souls to Christ or showing self-denial for others or are eminent for piety? Yoa can count them all noon your eight fingers and two thumbs. One of the old covetous souls, when he was sick and sick onto death, used to have a basin brought in. a basin filled with gold, and his only amusement and the only relief be got for bis inflamed bands wss running them down through the gold and turning it no la the basin. Oh, what infatuation and what destroying power money has for many a man I Now, yon were sailing at 30 knots the boor to ward these vortices of worldliness wbat mercy it waa, that honest defalcation! The same divine hand that crushed your storenouse, yonr Dank, yonr office, your insurance company, lifted yon oat of de struction. The dsy yon honestly sus penddH in business stsd yonr fortune for eternity. Oh," yoa ssy, "I could get along very ! well myself, bat I am so disappointed that I cannot leave a competence for my chil dren r My brother, the same financial misfortune that is going to save your soul ill save your children. With the antici pation of large fortune, how much indus try would yonr children hsve, without which habit of industry there Is no safe ty? The young man would ssy. "Well. there's no need of my working. My fath er will soon step out, snd then I'll have just wbat I want" You cannot hide from him bow much yoa are worth. Yon think you ars biding it. He knows all about it. He can tell you almost to a dollar. Perhaps he has been to the coun ty office snd searched the records of deeds and mortgages aad he has added it all no. and he has made aa estimate of how losg yoa will probably stay In this world, and is uot as omen worried shout yonr rheu matism and shottaess f breath ss you sre. Tbe only fortune worth anything that ysu can give your child is tbe fortune yon put in bis head aad heart Of all the young men who a'arted life with $40,000 capital, how many turned on well? I do sot know half a dozen. lasotrlaa Inheritance. The best inherits see a youna man can have is tbe feeling that hs haa to fight kla own battle, and that lit is a straggle is to which he must threw body, sUnd sad soul or he dlsgrsaafuliy worsted. Where sre the burial places of the maa who stsrted life with a fortua? tew of them in the potter's field, eem la the suicide's grave. Bat few of these men reached $6 years of ag. They draaX they smsksd, they gambled. Ia taem thv beast destroyed the mas. Seas tf tbew tved long eaeaga te get their tortaaes and went through them. The vast ms jority of them did not live to get their inheritance. From the giiiKlmp or house of infamv thev were hroucbt home to their father's house and in delirium be gan to pick off loatiiMiu.e reptiles froin the embroidered pillow- and M titsbt ha Imaginary devils. And then they were laid ont in hielilv miholstered parlor, the casket covered with Dowers b- indulgent parents, flowers snggeHtive of a resurrec tion with no hope. As you sat thia morning at your break fast table and looked into the faces of your children perhaps you said within yourself: "Poor things! How I wifh I could start them in life with a compe tence! How I have been disappointed in all my expectations of what I would do for them!" Upon that scene of pathos I break with a paean of congratulation that by your financial louses jour own proapects for heaven and the pro"pecta of your cDildren for heaven are mightily improved. You mav have lost a tor, but you have won a palace. "How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kincdom of God!" "It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter tbe king dom of heaven." What does that mean? It means that tbe grandest bleKsing God ever bestowed upon you was to take your money away from yon. Iet me here say, in passing, do not put much sirens on the t res mi res of this world. You cannot take them along with you. At any rate, you cannot take them more than two or three miles. Yon will have to leave them at the cemetery. Profit by Bereavements. Again, I remark you ought to make tbe very best of your bereavements, lnc whole tendency is to brood over these seji a rat ions, and to rive much time to the handling of mementos of the departed and to make long visitations to the ceme tery, and to say: "Oh, I can never look up again! My hope is gone. My courage gone. My religion is gone. My faith in God is gone. Oh, the wear and tear and exhauation of this loneliness!" The most frequent bereavement is the loss of children. If your departed child bad lived as long ss you have lived, do you not suppose that he would hsve had about tbe same amount of trouble and trial that you have bad? If you could make a choice for yonr child between 40 years of an noyance, loss, vexation, exasperation and bereavements and 40 years la heaven, would you take the responsibility of choos ing the former? Would you snatch away the cup of eternal bliss and put into that child's hands the cup of many bereave ments? Instead of the complete safety into which that child has been lifted, would you like to hold it down to the risks of this mortal state? Would you like to keep it out ou a ca in which there have been more shipwrecks than safe voyages? Is it not a comfort to jou to know that that child, instead of being besoiled and flung Into the mire of siu, is swung clear into tbe skies? Are not those children to be congratulated that the point of ce lestial bliss which yon expect to reach by a pilgrimage of 50 or GO or 70 years they reached at a flash? If the last 10,000 children who had entered heaven bad gone through tbe average of human life on earth, sre you sure all thone 10,000 children would have finally reached tbe blissful terminus? Besides that, my friends, jmi are to look at this matter as a M-lf-di-ni.-i! on j mir part for their bene fit If your chililn-n want to go off in a May day party, if your children want to go on a flowery and musical excursion, you consent You might prefer to have them with yon, but their jubilant absence satisfies yon. Well, your departed chil- i dren have only gone out in a May day party, amid flowery snd musical enter tainment, amid joys and hilarities for ever. That ought to quell some of your grief, the thought of their glee. Glorious Welcome. 8o It ought to be that you could make the best of all bereavements. The fact that yon have so many friends In heaven will make your own departure very cheer ful. When yon are going on a voyage, everytning depends upon wnere your friends are it they are on the wharf that yon leave or on the wharf toward which you sre going to sail. In other words, tbe more friends yon have in heaven the easier It will be to get sway from tbi, world. The more friends here the more bitter good by s. The more friends there the more glorious welcomes. Some of you hsve so msny brothers, sisters, children, friends, in heaven that I do not know hardly bow yoa are going to crowd through. When the vessel came from foreign lands and brought a prince to our harbor, tbe ships were covered with bunt ing, and yon remember bow tbe men-of- war thundered broadsides, but there was no joy there compared with tbe joy which snau oe aemonsiraico wnen you sail up tbe broad bay or heavenly salutation. The more friends you bsve there the easier your own transit. What ia death to a mother whose children sre In beeves? Why, there is no more grief in it thsn there is ia ber going Into a nursery amid tbe romp and laughter of her household. Though all around may be dark, sen you sot tbe bright light In tbe clonds, that light the irradiated faces of your glori fied kindred? Ko More Psia. Frost my observstion, I judge that In valids have s more rapturous view of tbe next world than well people snd will hsve higher renown in heaven. The best view of the delectable mountains ia through the lattice of tbe sick room. There sre traiae running every hour between pillow aad throne, between hospital and 'mansion, between bandages and robes, between crutch and palm branch. Oh, I wish some of yoa people who sre eompelled to cry: "My head, my bead! My foot, my foot! My back, my hack!" would try soate of the Lord's medicine. Yoa sre going to be well anyhow before long Heaven ! an old city, but baa never yet reported one esse sf sickness or one bill of mortality. No ophthalmia for the eye. No pneu monia for tbe Inngs. No pleurisy for the side. Xo nenralgta for the nerves. No rheumatism for the muscles. The In hahitanta shall never say, I am sick." "There shsll be no more pain." Again, you ought to make the heat of life's finality. Now, yoa think I hsve a very tongh sibject Ton do not see bow I am to strike a spark af light out of tb lint of-the tombstone. There are mane people who bav an Ides that death is the C every! ag pieasaal by everything doleful. If my subject eenld close in tbe Uisertfug of all such precoo- ceivt-d notions, it would close well. Who ran judge best of the features of a man those w ho sre close by him or those who are afar off? "Oh," you ssy, "those can judge best of the features of s man who sre close by him!" Now, my friends, who shall judge of tne features of death whether they are lovely or whether they are repulsive? You? You are too far off. If I want to get a judgment as to what really tbe fea tures of death sre, I will not ask you. I will ask those who have been within a month of death, or a week of death, or an hour of death, or a minute of death. They stand so near the features, they can tell, Tbey give unanimous testimony, If they are Christian people, that death, Instead of being demoniac. Is cherubic. Of all the thousands of Christiana who have been carried through tbe gates of tbe ceme tery, gather up their dyins ex eriences, and you w ill find they nearly all bordered on a jubilate. Reason of Blossoms. One week of the year Is called blossom week called ao all through the land be cause mere are more blossoms in that week than In any other week of the year Blossom week! And that is whnt tbe fu ture world Is to which the Christian ia in vited blossom week forever. It is as fa ahead of this world aa tiBradise is ahead of Dry Tortucas. and Tct here we Btand shivering and fearing to go out, and we want to stay on the dry sand and amid tbe stormy petrels when we are invited to arbors of jasmine and birds of paradise One season I had two springtimes. 1 went to New Orleans In April, and I marked the difference between going to ward -New Orleans snd then coming back As I went on down toward New Orleans the verdure, the foliage, became thicker and more beautiful. When I came back the farther I came toward home the less the foliage and less and leu it became nn til there was hardly any. Now, It all de j-iiu upon me direction in which von travel. If a spirit from heaven should come toward our world, he is traveling from Jane toward December, from radi ance toward darkness, from banging gar dens toward icebergs. And one would not be very much surprised if a spirit of God sent forth from heaven toward onr world should I slow to come. But bow strange it is that we dread going out toward that world when going is from December to ward June, from the snow of earthly storm to the glow of Edenic blossom, from the arctics of tronble toward the tropics of eternal joy! , Oh, what an ado about dying! We get so attached to the malarial marsh in which we live that we sre afraid to go up and live on the hilltop. We are alarmed because vacation ia coming. Eternal aun light and best program of celestial min strels and halleluiah, no inducement. I-t us stay here and keep cold and ignorant and weak. Do not introduce us to Klijah and John Milton and Uourdalour. Keep our feet on the sharp cobblestones of earth instead of Diamine them on the bank of amaranth iu heaven. Give us this small island of a leprous world in stead of the immensities f splendor and delight Keep our hands full of nettles and our shoulder under tbe burden and our neck in the yoke and hopples on onr ankles and handcuffs on our wrists. "Dear Lord," we aeem to say, "keep us down here where we have to suffer In stead of lting us np where we might live and reign snd rejoice." Amazing Infatuation. I am amazed at myself and at yourself for this lufatnation under which we all rt. Meu you would suppose would get frightened at haviug to stay in this world instesd of getting frightened at having to go toward heaven. I congratulate any body who has a right to die. liy that I mean through sickness you cannot avert or through accident you cannot avoid your work consummated. "Where did they bury Lily r said one little child to another. "Oh,' abe replied, "they buried her in the ground." "What! In the cold ground" "Ob, uo, no; nut in the cold ground, but in tbe warm ground, where ugly seeds become beautiful flowers!" "But," saya some one, "it pains me so much to think that I must lose the body with which my soul has so long compan ioned." You do not lose it Yon no more lose yonr body by death than you lose your watch when you send It to have it repaired, or your jewel wheu you send it to have it reset, or the faded picture w hen you send it to have it touched up, or the photograph of a friend when you have it put in a new locket. You do not loee your body. Paul will go to Borne to get his, Payson will go to Portland to get his, President Edwsrds will go to Princeton to get his, George Cookuian will go to the bottom of the Atlantic to get ha, and we will go to the village churchyards and the city cemeteries to get ours, and when we have our perfect spirit rejoined to oar perfect body then we will be the kind of men and women that the resnrrectioa morning will make possible. So you see yon bsve not made out any doleful story yet. Wbat have you proved about death? What is the case you have made out? Too have made out just this that death allows oe to have a perfect body, free of all aches, nnlted forever with s perfect soul, free from all sin. Oor' rect your theology. What does It all mean?
