From the News. Trnro, N. 8. Mr. Robnrt Wright, of Alton, Co- chester Co., N. 8., is now one of the hardiest and hardest working farmers in this met ion. But Mr. Wright waa not always blessed with perfect health ; 08 a matter nf fact for some fifteen years he wan a martyr to what appeared to be an incurable trouble. In conversation lately with a News reporter, Mr. Wright said: "I HIM in- deed grateful that the trouble which bothered me for no many years is gona and I am quite willing to give yon the particulars for publication. It is a good many years since my trouble first iM-^an. slight at first, bnt later intensely severe pains in the bark. r.-iiiil!v the pains attacked me when working or lifting, bnt often when not at work at all.

The new field gun, which flres a shrapnel shell, and which, in its per- fected state, is now being used for the first time by the British in South Africa is perhaps the most deadly weapon of modern warfare. Each gun can fire twelve aimed shots a minute and cnch shot carries 260 bullets, weighing 43 to the pound The shrap- nel shell consists of a piece of steel tnbing filled with small balls. At the head of the shell is a time fuse, which can be adjusted to suit the range, at whi'-h the, gun is to be fired. This fuse ignite* tin- -mall charge of powder whirli he-, in front of the bul- lets. The firing of the gnn ignites the fuse, which bnrns for the time for which it has been set. It then fires the powder, which bursts the shell and sends the 200 bullets flying among the enemy. It is snd that these bul- lets M-aiter like shot from a fowling piece, and cover a space of 24 square yards with a rain of lead. The guns have a killing range of 3,500 yards.

A Iliiriijiiilr < *rer. The recent d.-.uli in Italy of Qia- cdiiui Nare.tti ended a most remark- able career. The son of poor Italian parents, Naretti learned the trade of a carpenter, and went to Africa dnr- ing his country's early occnoation of that continent. There his trade stood him in good stead. He attracted the attention of Kmperor John of Abvs- Mina, for whom he built a throne, called the tliron,- of S'llinnon. It was a modest, wooden affair, bnt it excit- ed the admiration an 1 wonder of the dusky kins. Later for Kmperor Men- elek he built a nival inlace, and was tli- ii made a sort of minister of pnblio works. He married an Knglish wo- man, got rich and lived in a palace of his own.

A mess of green bones at least twice a week will always prove beneficial, as they provide lime for the shells and serve as a change. Some do not tH-lieve in feeding grain at all in the summer season, preferring to allow the hens to work. A pound of green boue cut with a bone cutter, twice or tlireo times a week, given to a do/en hens at night is better than feeding grain, as the hens nearly al- ways come up with full crops when they are on the range. When in con- finement in late fall or winter the green Uuie will continue to be of valuable assistance. THE NERVOUS SYSTEM IS WEAKENED BY THE Neuralgia Torture ' Every Nerve is Strangthened "p.
