will carry much further than that
distaace. Generally tale far ,sights
on these rifles ii,re set at about 2,000
yards, bet en the GermanMesmer
they ,are set for 2,882 ,yards. Per-
haps a Geranan soldier can sight, an
objeet a mile and a half away when
leoking over the sights at the end
erhis pieee, but riflemen generally
think that 1,000 yaade is the great-
est distance to shoot with accuracy.
These •six different rifles vary in
, weight from. 8 pounds Y2 ounce for
the Belgian piece to 9 pounds 3i/2
'ounces for the Freneh rifle. This' is
leaving out the long Lee -Enfield
rifle, which is used by apart -of the
British army. Since 1906 it has
been gradually replacedby a. ;short-
er weapon, and now the long Lee -
Enfield is used by the Territorial
soldiers or those of the second line
of defence. That title, weighs 9
pounds 4 ounces, and with the bayo-
net attached it weighs 10 pounds 3%.
ounces,
Austrian Gnu the Lightest.
With the bayonet attached the
Austrian gun is the lightest, weigh-
ing a quarter of an ounce lees than
9 pottnels, and the Freneli soldier
again has to carry the heaaiest, his
piece with bayonet weighing 10
pounds 1%2 ounces.
Thesetitles all have magazin;es.
• The Fren,eh is a tube through which
the ,eartridges pass to the shooting
ohamber, a,nel the others have a box
or a charger fitted to ',the gun just
under the Steely and in iamb of the
trigger guard. This charger on the
Malecand the Maanlicihar holds
five 'caPteidgea, and with one shot in
the barrel the soldier has six, bullete
ready for nse to be discharged as
faet ae he can pull:the:trigger. The
French carry in the tube eight cart-
, ridges and the British in their
magazines carry ten eareridges,
An argument made against the
tube of the French rifle is that its
balanee is changed with each shot
fired and that, this has to be taken
into aonsideration by the 'man using
the gun. It is aleo much harder
to load because' the cartridges are
placed in and forced through the
tube one by one While with the
other rifles a.s soon as a charger is
emptied it is opened and another
clip of cartridges .ineerte;c1, to be
opepated in the same, way as the
' first. '
The British argunient against the
• magazine was that, the men should
recharge their rifles after ea,th shot
until an qemergency aro;se, and then
they slionId draw on their ten shots
Jn ethe magazine. But, in recent
years this. order has been changed,
and they. work just as do the other

4 feet 2 inches, and then comes the
Belgian, 4 feet 2;25 inches; ,the Rus-
sian; 4 feet 3.875 filchers, and the
Pren.oh, 4 feet 3:12 inches. The dif-
ference in length between the,sillort
13ritieh and the Freneh arm is al
fraction over .seven bathes and the
French rifle is an inch and three-
quarters longer theun the German.
With the ;bayonet attached the
French rifle measures afraction an -
der 6 feet, or te be exact; 5 feet
1] .84 inthe,s. This may give them
an advanta.ge in'olose . fighting. The
German rifle 'with bayonet attached
measures 5 feet 9.75 inches, or a
inaction over two in,ehes shorter
than the French weapon. The Rus-
sian aim measures 5 :feet 9 inches,
She British 5 feet. 1.7 inches, the
Belgian 4 feet 11.75 inches and the
Austrian 4 feet 11.5 inches. This
shows that the French bayonet is
the longest, being 20.72 inches, the
German 20.61 inch,es, the British
and Russian 17.2 inches, th,e Bel-
gian 9.5 inches and the Austrian the
shortest, 9.2 inches.,
In length of barrel the Russiane
have the .a,deantage, the. le,ngth be-
ing 31.5 inches, bat -this is only a
very small fraction longer than the
French barrel, 31.496. The Bel-
gian gun has a banrel of 30.67 inch-
es, the long Enfield ot the Britifili is
30.19 sinches, the Austrian 30.12
inches, the 'German 29.05 inches and
the modern British a.rna 25.19 inch-
es. The barrel of the Prelach rifle
is 2.446 inches longer ,tlian the baa
rel of the German rifle.
In calibre again' there, is mach
difference in •these anns. The Rus-
sian is the smallest, .3 inoh. Next
in ;size is, the Belgian, .301. Then
eernes the British; .303, the Get-
man, .311, and the French, .315.
Although the French rifle is in
nearly every detail the largest Of
those ueed by the warring European
nations, it uses
The Sniallesi Cartridge,
which measures 2.95 inehe,s. These
cartridges are Tirade in two ways,
one with a pointed bullet a,nd one
with' a round bullet, The round
bullet cartridge weighs 447 grains
and the pointed bullet cartridge 415
grains.
The Germans were the first to
use the pointed et Spitzer bullet,
as it is called. This was in 1905,
and France followed the German
example at once. Its advantage is
that it flattens the trajectory and
increases consequently the danger
space. The German cartridge mea-
sures 3.22 inches with the • round
bullet and 3.18 inches with the
pointed bullet, and the weights are
431 and 369.9 grains respectively.
The British use a round bullet and
thee'cattridae measures 3.05 inches
and weighs 415 grains, The Bel-
gian-eareridge measures 4.055 inch-
es and weighs 441 grains;i the Rus-
sian measures 3.025' inthes and
weighs 4.94 veins, and the Austrian
meastiree 3 in.ches a,nel weighs 455
grains.
Austria, Belgium, France and
Germany use nitroglycerine as an
caplosive ; Britain uses cordite and
Russia pyroxilirie. - In the British
cartridge there is 5.5 grains of cor-
dite; in the Belgian and Attstriaa
19..7 grains • of nitroglycerine.
'Germany and France tese- • 17,75
grains of nitroglycerine, and Russia
, 17.41 veins of pyroxiline.'
I The muzzle velocity varies con-
" siderably. The greatest js that of
the *German rifle with the p,ointed
;bullet, which. is 2,882 :feet seeond,
and with a found imAlet, 2,093 feet a
second. The French rifle has a anuz-
• zle velocity of 2,380 feet a s;econd
with the pointed ballet and 2,073
feet a second with th,o sound bullet,
The :nuzzle velocity of the British
rifle is 2,060, oI the Belgian and
Atistriam rites 2;034, and,the Rus-
• sian 1985,feet a seemed. •

SAILORS WON PRIZE MONEY.
Considerable , Fortunes Made Ily
• British lack Tilrfi.
Dating back to the earliest years
of Britain's supremacy at sea, the
custom of allowing naval iirizes
money recalls some interesting
facts about the days when prize
money was a great inducement to
recruiting for the fleet: "Jack
Tar" has shared in little prize
money since the days of Nelson, ex-
cept When he has beenengaged in
the capture of slavers on the , east
and west coasts of Africa,' In the
days when we sailed the Spanish
Main, 'however, considerable •:for-
tunes were secured in the way of
loot by officers and men. • -
The biggest haul of prize money
on record, having regard to the in:
individual shares, occurred in 1761,
when the British frigates Actaeon
and Favorite captured a Spanish
galleon. On dividing up the loot
the shares worked out at follows:
Captains, 265,000; lieutenants;
213,000; warrant' officers, :24,336;
petty officers, 21,800, and seamen
and marines, 2485.
11) 55 recorded that the jolly tees
of the 'two frigates had an uproari-
ous times in Portsmouth, and put
on such airs that they actually
formed a club, one rule being' that
every sailor should wear a gold -
laced hat.
Another instance of the capture
of treasure ships somewhat ap-
proached the level of the ,foregoing.
On Oct. 16th, 1799, four British frig-
ates -the Naiad, Ethalion, Triton
anti Alemene-chaeed and captured
the Spanish frigates Thetis and San-
ta Brigida. • On overhauling the
prizes a veritable Tom Tiddler's
ground was brought to light, aaci it
required the services of sixty-four
artillery wagons te convey the
treasure from Plymouth Hoe to the
Citadel. The following were the in-
dividual shares of the lucky recip-
ients: Captains, 240,730; lieuten-
ants, 25,091; warrant officers, 22,-
968; petty oficers, 2791; and sea-
men and marines, 2182.
During these regular operations
against the Spaniards, , Drake se-
cured for his crews many thousands
61 Pounds in the way of prize money
and naturally had no difficulty in
getting men for his voyages, a re-
mark which also applies to Lord
Cochrane, afterwards the Earl of
Dundonald, who, when in -command
of the thirty -eight -gun frigate Pal-
las was the dread of the French and
Spanish mercantile marine. He sent
hisprizes ieto Plymouth in rapid
sueeession, says The Westminster
Gazette, and was regarded by the
sabre as such a friend in the way
of prize money. that he was always
inundated with applications from
men who wanted to Join his ship,

The 'Ilig Ceremonial Pipe of As
African Chief,
When Sit Walter Raleigh acted
as "the advance agent of tobacca,"
though gifted wilih a magnificent
imagination, he ;surely had no hint
of its future that would set the
world's milions to smoking, even
hate the far away dark epots of the
globe., Ware Sir Walter living to-
day he would amtionbtedly be one
of the most accomplished cigarette
consumers in the royal smart set;
and yet, still mossessing• an appre-
ciation of the bizarre ,and the -ex-
otic, he would experience ,joy in the
ownership of the in,rel recently
found, of a British East African
It, is more ornate than the calu-
met of the American Indian, which,
in early history, was ornamented
with wings, like a Mercury cap, a,
graceful design, but simple- withal..
The African creation is a 'ceremon-
ial pipe about tyo feet in height,
and the design would go far to sus-
tain Pile- ,asserpion that in the re-

• St. John, WB., Dec. 15th, -At one
time it was feared that Mrs, J. Grant,

deadly ravages of advanced kidney

ache and kidney trouble began years
ago. For six years that dull gnawing
pain has been present. When I ex-
erted myself,it was terribly intensified.
If I caught cold the pain was unen-
durable. I used most everything, but
nothing gave that certain grateful re-
lief that came from Dr. Hamilton's
pills of 'Mandrake and Butternut. In-
stead of being bowed down with pain,
to.day I am strong, enjoy splendid

thank that, day that I heard of so

Napoleon of the Balkans May De
Oue of the Octennially* Foe -
tors of the 'War.
In the press of news from the
front the significance of the brief
statement in recent papers that
General Radlco ,Dimitrieff, cam,-
mander of the Third Bulgarian
Army during the Balkan War, ha,s
telegraphed his resignation in order
that he might join- the Russian
Army, has escaped general notice.
The remarkable career of • this
Vito of the Balkans is sketehed by
Lieutenant Wagner in "With the
Victorious Bulgarians, ' and this
famous book an the Balkan Powers
and their war against Turkey, new
bakes on fresh interest and impo,r-
lance as a graphic accoant of the
gener.alship of a man who may
easily beoornee a dominant factor in
the present war,
"Since the day of Kirk Kilisse,"
Lieutenant Wagner wrote, "a name
has become generally known
throughOut the world, which bad
long enjoyed popular fame through-
out Bulgaria itself -the name of
General Radices Dimitrieff, the vic-
tor of Kirk Kiliese, and the com-
mander of the Thi.rcl Bulgarian
"The officers and • soldiers eall
him Napoleon 'tseheito, not only on
account of the likeness of his pro-
file and his general build to that of
Napoleon, but also because he is
the hero of Kirk Kilisse, Lule Bur-'
gas and Ohorlu.

. "Whence came Radko Dimitrieff
What was the past, career of this
'hero undoubtedly the most popu-
lar leader of his time in 13ulgaaia?
He was born in the little town of
Gradez on September 24, 1859, and
after a succe,ssful course at the Mili-
tary School of Sofia, passed out es
lieutenant on May 10, 1879. He them
distinguished himeelf as a student
at the Academy of the General
Staff at Saint Petersburg.
"When the annexation of Eastern
Roan -Lelia Was pro,claimed by Prince
Alexander at Philippopolis, he was
sent with most of tihe Budganlan
Army to the Turkish frontier, for
naturally the general idea was that
Bulgana would be attacked by Tur-
key. But the foresight and the ex-.
peetations of Natschovitsch, who
was then ams
baeador at Bucharest,
were justified, anti ib was, not the
Turks but the Servian brothers of
Bulgaria, tvho were the inOders.
"It is well known how difficult it
then was, on a,ocoupt of the want of
railwa,ys,, transfer Bulgarian
troops trout the -south to the north-
west of the cpuntry. Batik° Dimi-
tfieff took part as a, captain in this
eperiution. Mewl -ring his men at

Muscular Strains Ended
Such Troubles Now Quickly Rubbed
Away by Powerful Remedy.
If you have' any muscles that are
strained and weak, that are frequently
subject to rheumatic pains; if you
have any painful swellings that re-
fuse to go away -get busy with, Ner-
Viline. This is the very soh of trou-
ble that Nerviline is noted for curing
quickly. "I have proved Nervillne
simply a wonder in reducing a hard,
painful swelling. It followed an in.
Jury. I received in my left leg and
caused me great pain and discomfort.
The muscles were strained and sore,
and no other remedy gave the ease
and comfort 5 gat from rubbing on
Nerviline. There is a soothing, pain'
relieving power about Netviline that
touched the root of my trouble. Ner-
'saline reduced the swelling, it destroy-
ed the pain, it brought my limb back
to perfect condition." The experience
of Mr. Bowen, whose home is. in Mid-
dlesex, is not unusual. Thousands are
proving' every day that muscular pains
of every kind, chronic rheumatism,
lumbago, neuralgia and sciatica will
yield to Nerviline .when nothing' else
can possibly cure. Nerviline is an
old-time family pain remedy, used
nearly forty years with great success.

11 OW LONG WILL MAR 'ASV;
Major -Gen. Turner Says It Caanot
Last Many Illouths.
How long will 'the war lasti HOW
many men will be engaged before
the end of this month'? What will
the war coat daily 1 are questions
that were asked of Major-Geaeral.
Sir Alfred Turner, late Inspector -
General, when the niobiliza,tion
was complete..
"Great Britain has 161,000 men in
the first line," paid General Turner,
"with 148,000 in Deserve, 'while, with
the territorials, her total etrength
will be easily 500,000 men. This ex-
cludes 78,000 while troops in Intlia
:and Earl Kitehetter's latest call for
half a million.
'Trance has am active army of
300,000 men, the total with the Gee-
ond line being, 1,000,000 m.en, Rus-
sia, has 1,500,000 in the frost line,
and when her reserves 0.55 mobi-
lized, about A.ugust, 25, Sale will have
4,500,000 men available.
"Servia, cam turn oat mote Ciao
200,000 splendid fig,heing men, not-
withstanding her terrible losses in
the late, wars.
"Belgium has available more than
250,000 men, including the reserves,.
"Germany has 350,000 men in the
first line, of whom oely 150,000 ate
on the Russian frontier. With the
se,00nd line sha can mobilize more
than 3000,000 men.
"Austria hes a standing army of
240,000 men, anti can mobilize snore
than 1,000,000, but Austria has the
most hetexogenecas force in the
world, and it is doubtful Iv -heeler
the Slays in Austria can be depend-
ed upon.
"I don't. .suppose anybody on
earth can answer the question as to
the probable daily east of the war
to each incliviel trial power. Our
South African war cost $1,250,000,-
000, although' it was eelimated that
it,...would only east $75,000,000. It
depends upoa the management, the
waste, and an enormous variety of
