r. H.J. (jatliug. the inventor of ihe
famous gun which heart his tiaine, has
invented another instrument of destruc
tion which he cults the "polieo gun." It
was on exhibition the other day, and an
interested group of army officers and news
paper men studied its mechanism and lis
tened to the inventor's explanation uf its
virtues. It is n brass gnu, weighing sev-eutY-eiht
pounds, uml is mounted on a
tripud, the whole arrangement weighing
only I I!) pounds. It is capable of firing
1,IMHI Mints u minute.
The general working nineiple of the
gun is the same as that of the gun which
bears Or. (iatliug's name and is so widely
known. The improvement is iu the meth
od of feeding. In (ho police gun a maga
zine, holding sixty-two caitridges and
looking like the hopper of a corn uhellcr,
is set up on end at a right angle ou top of
the brass barrel. The turning of the han
dle by the cannoneer drops the cartridges
into six revolving bunds within the can
in m.
As the barrels revolve a lock with a
spiral spring catches each cartridge and a
small needle in the lock strikes the percus
sion cap, exploding it. The next instant
an extractor catches the empty shell, and
following a spiral grove, it iu dislodged
from the guu. When one magazine is
empty another pland ready to take its
place. Ah the empty shells fall in a
stream from the orilice. it looks for all the
world like a country corn shelter with the
denuded cols dropping to the floor as ihe
farm hand turiif. the crank. By along lev
er the cannoneer can with hi" left hand
change the range of the gun, shoot up or
down or tideways, while with the right
hand he turns the crank that puts the
stream of cartridges in motion.
"We can clear the streets of a m b and
housetops as well," said lr. liatling, a
peaceful looking old gentleman, with spec
tacles and a snowy beard. uThe gun will
kill a man a mile otF, though 1 .UiW yards
is the best range. We don't want to see
our cities overrun by a mob ns was l'iits
burg Why, unman would stand in range
of that gun. If he did he would be fool
ish, to say the least." Xew York Ti thnur.
THE JOKER OUtJOKED.
PRETTY FEET.
A young countryman who had long
loved it girl who lived a mile or two from
him was nearly in despair about winning
her hand, and was on the eve of selling
out and leaving the cuuntry, as the girl
had refused him three limes, and it was
out that she was engaged to another fellow.
Our hero had noticed thnt bis rival aud
(ho girl would walk in an old meadow
U'.'ld nearly every ulternoon, and he grew
madly jealous, In his cattle he had a young
bull that was always mad with everything
but Ins master because he was nu especial
pet. Now Dave, ns he called the bull,
was to be the object with which to i-iitiate
his revenge. He would turn hi in into the
meadow, hide himself, and free his rival
towed like a foot ball. So one afternoon,
culling to Pave, who would follow him
like a dog, he repaired to the meadow, let
the fence down, and turned (he bull in.
He then strolled oft", and walked as misera
ble as a man could be who was commit
ting nu evil deed. An hour or so later he
heard the deep multerings of the bull, and
hastening to the meadow fence he saw
Dave about hVt iity yards from the couple
pawing dirt iui 1 slmking his head. The
man was tiding tn get the girl to run. but
she was so terrified she could not move.
Tin- bull made a daub, and the fellow ran
shrieking fur the fence. The bull dashed
on after the Hying Iclluw, while our uim'i.u
solatc young man, having jumpedlhe fence.
ruhed to the girl, as the bull dashed on
after the fugitive rival, and catching her
iu his arms, told her that such a coward
was unworthy of her. As Dave saw his
young master he left off pursuing the
other man, returned and went to licking
his hand, while the indignant girl vowed
she would never more speak to a mau that
was afraid of a cow. She soon afterward
married Dave's boss.
A SPECIMEN OF MANKIND.
COD WILL TAKE CHARGE.
A gentleman was walking along one of
the streets of IMiil.i bdphia, was nccot--d
by a boy win pi- adi d f-T a penny. The
irenlleiiinn w:,s at first inclined to fend
him away, but Mum-thin.; in the hi.y's lonk

'Have yi-tt hud milling local today?"
Notlunj, sir.'
Uiij, tile "U leblMi nie ihe trillh?"

face,
' Indeed I am, sir "
'H.i vi? 3 1 .ti a fitbti ?" ipiestiotied the
gentieiiini, now iiii.r..ngniy iui.ivu.i m
ihe boy.
'.N.i, nii'i fill er is d ad."
"Where is jour mnther ?"
"She died last night, (Vino with me,
and I will show you win re my mother is,"
Taking lh.i bin 1 of the boy, ihe gen-
th'iinn follow.-d hi guide down a narrow
alley, and 'topped before a miserable place
which (he boy called home, rushing
open the d.mr, he poinU-d to his dead
mother, and naid. "There is my mother,
sir."
"Who was with your mother when she
died?" asked the gentleman, deeply movid.
"Nobody but me, air."
"Did your mother say anything before
she died 7"
"Yea, sir; she aaid, 'God will take care
of you, my son !' "
Sooner than tlua dying mother had
dared to hope, God bad honored her faith
by sending to her son one whose heart was
touched with tendereut pity for bii condi
tion. The gen tie ma a was a tonatian, to
whom God bad intrusted much of this
world's goods, and the little orphan was
kindly cared for by aim.

A thrilling though truci rftory Haling
to a prominent merchant ut St. Paul, hut
who i- now vi.-iting the lake, bus just b ak

ed a fashionable dinner patty and hud in
bibed too froely of champagne, sj much so
that on returning tu his office he felt an
irrestible impulse tn play on somebody a
piactical juke. His ipiiek wit fouu came
to hi rescue. Managing to reach his tel
ephone he called up an undertaker, and
representing hiniM-lf to be ihe (,'oroiior, or
dered him to conic immediately and re
move a dead man. He te'ephoued to an
Olher undertaker the same message, and
still another. Not satisfied yet he called
a fourth -urging them to hasteo. Ilethiii
threw himself on a sofa tu await the fun.

A few minutes after they w, re s -en hi

As he epoke he put his cold, wet hand on

admits that the sen-ation was peculiar;
(he touch of the hand, however, acted like

"The Spani.-li," continued Crispin, "are
generally supposed to have the prett'et
feet in the world, but I do not think so,
although they are eirtainly the smaller.
The foot is very slender aud the instep ex
traordinarily high- n result i u a large meas
ure of the constitutional unlipathy of the
people tn walking, as a Spaniard will ride
on horseback when he has to beg for a
living. The (leitnaiiH have strong, stocky,
well developed feet, inclined to he f-hort.
but many uf them exceedingly shapely for
nil that, The French foot is mialler
boned and rounder in outline, a graceful,
agile foot, not so slender ns the Spanish,
but lunger than the German. It does not
lack strength, but is more remarkable for
iuickni!$s and agility. All the distin
guishing qualities of the nation are em
bodied iu its make up. It is no slouch of
a foot, I tell you. The Holland' foot is
very different from either the Teutonic or
Gallic. It is longer than cither and lower.
I have seen little thin Holland women, but
four feet high, with feet a foot long, as
sure as you live. They have the longest,
lowest feet of any nation on the globe ex
cept, perhaps, the negro, wlne foot ex
ceeds the Holland iu length of heel, al
though it somewhat resembles it in gem ial
makeup. The Mexican foot is a modifi
cation of the Spanish. It isa trifle lougi r
aud not quite so classical in outline. The
Chinese have a pretty foot, short, small
boned and quite shapely."
MIow about the American pedal ex
tremity?" "Ah! that is to a certain extent in for
mation, uot fully crystallized into a type.
It is a composite fool, lighter aud daintier
than the KnglMi or Teuton, more uervous
and longer than the French, stronger, aud
more developed than the Spanish, fated to
be the finest, most uhapely font of the
wot Id, and partaking somewhat of the
good uualities of all. Of course, sir, there
are individual variations upon all these
types, but I would bet all I have got that
if I had in u room Km) representative, of

The male flirt who "plays at courtship"
is a mo.-t refined and dangerous crenture.
He leaves it to his less skillful brother to
pay tlui same compliments to each pretty
girl he meets, lie knows tho fair sex too
well for that. 1 1' all his lady loves meet
and com ure nut cs they will find that he
hiii never been guilty of repeating himself.
He is original and inventive, and suit? his
compliment to its recipient.
To the y.iung and sympathetic L-irl he
talks much about a '-wasted life." and savs
he should have been a different man bad
hrr sweet sympathy come into hi- life
earlier, hut there has never before hem
any one lj stir his h,st impulse iud u w
it Loo late."
To the religious young lady who yearns
tor. 'form the world he hints darkly of the
sinful past which stauls like au accusing
spirit between hi ill and a paradise which
has ju-t dawu.d upon him.
To lhchiir vi be talks vaguely of bar
riers which fate builds between a man's
pnd - au 1 his hop -s uf luppiucvs.
He plays upon th..- emotions of women
as upon Mringe 1 instruments, aud the
teu ler strains he draws forth a'tniv- ;iud
entertain him. The minor chords arc
tuu-ic 1 1 his cms, too, but when they b
come dic irdant he drops the instrument,
for he duo IM like lo be annoyed. lli
standard for women is high, yet he is f r
ever tempting her to come down to the
plains of fo'ly, and d.wpising her for her
w-'.ikness if tdie yields. If crime and heart-aeh.-s
follow hit footsteps he do:s tint ho'd
him-'elf, but tie: frailty of worn 'n. in fault.
The married male flirt is usually the
outgrowth of hi- own vanity. He is like
the old heathen cods, who required the
