Gallant Cavalryman Who Comes
From Old Fighting StaCk.
INVENTOR AS WELL AS SOLDIER,
Every one has hoard of the gallant
exploits of Lord 'llunclonalcl on the
Tugela, where he he tile -command of
a brigade of cavalry, and has shown
himself to be a worthy• descendant of
the old fighting stock. It was Lord
Dunclanalci, too, who entered. Lady-
smith at the head of the relieving
British troops.
Not only in fighting does Lord Dun-
donalcl excel, but lie maintains to the
full the traditions of the family by
having inventecl on more than one
occasion ingenious appliances which
have beeu turned to practical ao-
count.
His most recent invention, and the
one perhaps that has brought him
most prominently into notice, is that
of the "Dundonald galloping gun -
carriage," As matter of fact, he
went out to South Africa primarilyeto
induce the military authorities there
to make use of his invention. They
did so, and highly approved of it;
moreover, recognizing his value as a
cavalry leader (for from 1895 to the
present year he was colonel of the 2nd
Life Guards) they appointed him to
the command of a brigade of cavalry.
The gun -carriage of his invention
is mainly serviceable on account of
its extraordinary lightness, its great
strength, and the remarisable ease
with whicb it can be taken over diffi-
cult country. There are practically
no obstacles which it cannot sur-
mount.
Another and minor, but not less
useful, invention, or perhaps to be
strictly accurate, adaptation, of Lord
Duudonald's is the 'Ilene, an ingeni-
ous little appmatas for keeping the
hands or the pockets warm in the
very coldest weather.

and is made of metal. It contains a
stick of curious composition, which
the ineffeetealita of the Patent Laws
of the period be was reauced to pear.
ury through his devonon to science,
He publiseed several enteresting treat-
ises on technical subjects, and be-.
et:teethed at least a portion of his
genius to his on, Thomas Cochrane,
tenth Bari of Duedonald, and better
known as the
FAMOUS ADMIRAL 0001-IRANE.

father had previously procural aim a
conunissioa in the 79th Regiment,
but hie own pretezeuce was for the sect,
In 1798, as quite a youug man, he hail
already begun to show "that combi-
nation of daring and prudence tyhich
probably no British naval oilleer FAY°
Nelson ever possessed to a greater de-
gree." During his command of the
Speedy, a cruise of thirteen months,
he took upwards of fifty vessels, with
122 guns ancl 534 prisoners. At last
he himself was ,captured by three
French line -of -battle ships, after de-
fending, his own sloops so gallantly
that the French to whom he had de-
liyered up his sword at once returned
it. After a brief imprisonment the
English admiral was exchanged.
Unfortunately, he was always at
logger -heads with the Admiralty; for
one reason or another there was con-
tinual disputes, and from time to
time be was absolutely refused em-
ployment, in spite of his previous
brilliant services. The animus, which
was, perhaps, partly jealousy, against
the adrairal was clearly shown when,
on his complaining that his vessel
was unfit ter service, he was sent up
to the North Sea to protect non-ex-
istent fisheries.
Subsequently, in command of the
Pallas, thirty-two guns, he took a
number of valuable Frencli prizes,
and entered Plymouth harbor in
charge of them with three golden
candlesticks, each 5 ft. high, at the
mastheads, as a sample of the spoils.
In 1814 he was returned as member
of Parliament for Honiton, and in
1807 the electors at Westminster re-
turned him as their member, together
with Sir Francis Burdett. About Otis
time he had some trouble with Lord
Gambier as to the carrying out of cer-
aim orders. A court-martial was held
which was a hollow inocteery. The
court was packed, the witnesses man -

Lord Dundonald is his high skill in

occasion served him in good Stead.
This was in Egypt, when he was able.

In the same year he was falsely ac-

defraud the Stock Exchange, by cir-
culating a report of the success of
the allies and the death of Napoleon.
He was tried before Lord Ellenbor-
ough. and, although he was quite in-
nocent, circumstances caused the case
against him to look velf'y black. He
was convicted, fined $1,000, condemn-
ed to twelve months' imprisonment,
and one hour irt the pillory.
He was also expelled from the

T he Bursting Shell.
"A. common shell for a field gun is
in shape and size very like an ordina
ary pint -bottle; the hocal, however, is
dome-shaped, so that if the neck of
the bottle he halooked off, the simil-
arity is greater. The metal of the
shell may be either cast-iron or steel,
If the former is used, there is less
room for powder, because the weak-
ness of the cast-iron necessitates
thicker sides to the shell than if it
was made of stool. Cast-iron, how-
ever, breaks up well. What is Te -
glared in a shell is that it should
staud a heavy pressure from outside
safely, and yet burst readily into a
large number of pieces."
"When.a shell bursts the action is
by no means instantaneous. After
the ignition of the fuse the bursting-
cha,rgo of the shell takes some little
time to develop sufficient presssure
to burst the shell. This is owing to
the comparatively deliberate way in
which gunpowder behaves on being
ignited. Tliere are many explosives
that detonate in one -millionth of a
second or thereabouts, hut a shell
charged with gunpowder will take
sine five -thousandths of a second to
burst The time does not appear lone;
but if the saell be travelling at 1,000
foot -seconds, it will have moved five
feet from the point of impact before it
bursts. If the velocity be as much as
2,000 foot -seconds, the shell will not
burst until it has gone ten feet from
the point struck,''
"The bursting of a shell will not
in itself drive the fragments very
fax or very fast. The injuries caused
by the pieces of a shell are mainly
due to the velooity with which it was
travelliag before it burst. Thus a
'spent' shell from a Beld-gun burst-
ing on the surface, though it throws
a good many fragments along the
ground, does not give them much
energy, and only the large pieces are
likely to cause serious wounds.
Larger shells are more formidable in
this respect; but mainly because the
fraements are larger; they do not
travel with much more velocity than
those from a small shell."
Kruger's Pegged Boots.
This is a story of Mrs. Ellis, the
' wife of a shoemaker sometime resi-
dent in Pretoria. President Kruger
once went to their shop for a pair
of boots. "The old man (meaning
Mr. Kruger) understood English well
enough," said Mrs. Ellis, "but he did
not choose to speak it, and while my
husband was takine the measurement
he would not say a word except
through his secretary. 'Now. what
will you have?' asked my husband,
hand -sewn or rivetted?' Mr. Kruger
said something in Dutch, and the sec-
retary interpreted, His Honor vsill
have whichever kind wears longest.'
And so," adds Mrs. Ellis, "Jack
pegged them, because that was the
simplest and the easiest thing to do."
Apparently Mr. Ellis had adapted his
handiwork nicely to the pedal re-
quirements of his august employer;
for when, soine time later, he won
three gold medals for boot making
at a Transvaal exhibition, Oona Paul
sent him a bottle of whiskey and a
box of cigars.

better, but brass and silver are more
desirable than either.

A French Potato Salad Secret.
The Frencb have a secret with re-
gard to potato salad that, while very
simple, yet if known and applied to
one American dish would change its
caaracter much for the better. We,
each one of us, can bring to mind the
wholesome flavor of potato and disb
gravy from a joint of beef. The
Frenchman's secret enables us to im-
part this flavor in combination with
the relish of a salad if we have at hand
it small bit of coarse gravy meat or a
tiny pot of beef extract. The meat is
to be heated through and every trace
of juice pressed out and salted to taste
or euougli of the extract used to give a
good meat flavor teefour tablespoonfule
of hot water. The potatoes are to be
cooked as "waxy" as possible. With
old potatoes this can be done by throw-
ing them into the colander and spread-
ing them out one by one to become
thoroughly cool. When preparing the
salad, each thin slice of potato Is to be
immersed In the beef juice just long
enough to take the flavor without be-
coming moist enough to break. When
the oil, pepper, salt and vinegar are
added and all gently tossed, the salad
Is ready to send to table. Finely caop-
ped parsley improves the appearance,
but is not called for in the above rec-
ipe, while the beef gravy is insisted
upon.

theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Godes
two dwelling places, heaven and the hata-
ble aeart, are set forth in Ise. Ivii, 15-;
leva 2. And where God dwells there i3
a fkretaste'of the kingdom.' The p dor in
spirit are not necessarily the same at
"the poor of this world, rich in faitk anti,
heirs of the kingdom" (Jrhs. 11, 5). They,
are the opposite of the proud, for "Gal
reaisteth theproud, but giyeth grace unth
the humble" (Jas. iv, (1). They are sucu
as have the spirit of Him vvho becanie
poor for our -sakes (11 Cor. NU, 9), and
they only can truly say, "Hallowed be
Thy name."
4. "Blessed are they that mouen, fax
they shalt be conafietted." - We must bear
in mind that He is speaking to His dis-
ciples (verses 1, 2) in the hearing of lila
multitude. The whole teaching of the

saved. ae could not say to tliennsaved:
"Ye are the salt of the earth;" "ye are

dom comes the days of theirmournwg.

2). And such truly mid coutinually pray,.
"Thy kingdom come."
5. "Blessed are the meek, for they shall
inherit the earth." So said the Spirit
through David. "The meek shall inherir
the earth" (Ps. xxxvii, 11). This again
is the spirit of the Ring, for Ile said:
am meek and lowly in heart. Take My
yoke upon you and learn of Me" (Math.
29). It is also written tbat "'late or-
nament of a meek and quiet spirit is lai
the sight of God of great price" (1 Pet.
lii, 4). The meek do not live unto them-
selves nor seek theis own will, but de-
light in the will of God, and, knowingthe blessedness of thee will, they, long and
pray foe the time when it shall be done
on earth as it is done in heaven (vi, 10).
G. "Blessed are they which do hunger

shall be filled." Righteousness is essen-
tial to our entranee hate the kingdom, for

from the heart, "Give us this day our

only, but by every wordof. God.
7. "Blessed are the merciful, for they
shall obtain mercy." The Lord is merci-
ful and gracions (Ps. ciii, Be. xxxiat
Deut. iv, 31). The true Christian life
is Christ living in us (Gal. ii. 20; 11 Cora
iv, 11), and all these beatitudes are just,
diff.crent features of tbe Christ lifee
whether in Him or in us. It is written,
"With the merciful thou wilt show thy.
self merciful."
8. "Blessed are the pure in heart, ier
they shall see God." Who shall ascend
into the hill of the Lord or who stout
stand in His holy place? He that hath

We are commissioned as Elie representa-
