The Great Cannon Maker.
Few people have the remotest
conception of the number of
men employed in the German
foundry where nearly all of the
great cannons art* made, a nd
>resided over by Herr Krupp.
Russia, Italy, Spain, China, and
many other nations, have had
their heavy ordnances made at
thW^lace.
The Krupp works weie found
ed in 1810; in 1865 the number
of his workmen rose to 693. and
soon afterward he felt obliged
to build dwellings for them.
The number of his workmen in
1882 was- 10,598, and the nam
ber of houses 3,2^)8, in which
live 16,200 souls. *The houses
contain from two to five rooms,
the rent running from about $20
to $55 a year. One successful
experiment was a boarding
house for 200 single men, and
later for 500 men, providing
dinner with meat four times a
week. suppCr, coffee, arid butter,
the bread the? must provide
themselves. A large eo opera-
tive store, started by F. Krupp,
has developed enormously and
monopolized the retail trade of
the district. The sick dub has
existed since 8156, and in 1882
had 11,011 members, and
fund of $318,490. The pensions
in 1882 amounted to some $10,-
210. and the death liability to
$2,385 ; some alterations will
probably be made in the ar
rangements in accordance with
the new laws. Sick clubs among
th« workrr^n's families also ex
ist jbere.i* a sanitary com
mittee In the works/ The works
hare had a fever hospital since
1871, an infirmary since 1872.
The former was transferr id to
the town of Essen in 1882 for
small-pox cases. A disinfec
don-house and apparatus has
also been instituted on Ditt
mnr's plan. Baths were put up
uear the entrance of the works
in 1873. In 1876 a life insur
ance fund was started, and has
risen to J,525 members. A hig i
school with twenty class room*
aud a private school with six
teen rooms are among Herr
Krupp's foundations, and since
1876 live technical schools have
be«u in existence, in* which
classes for women iu household
▲ Remarkable Shot,
A number of gentlemen were
in the depot waiting room, ad
miring a fine lot of ducks a
friend had shot hp on the lakes,
and w* re somewhat surprised to
hear him tell of kilting three
ucks with one discharge of his
gun. About this time a slim,
)ointed-nose man. who had
>eenquietly listening,remarked:
"That's nothing very extra
ordinary"
"Maybe that's tlie way yon
always kill ducks," sarcastic-
ally remarked the hunter.
"Wai, that depends on how
lo^d my gun/' implied the
slim man. ' -
"Then it does make a differ-
ence how you load, does it! 1
presume you use about a peck
f six ounce bullets ?" remarked
the hunter, who began to feel
that the glory with which hie
iad covered "himself had melt-
ed and was beginning to run off
" Wal. now, don't' get rattled,
don't know as I'll give the
scheme away," retorted the slim
IkHHm
"How many ducks did you
ever kill in one shot?" asked an
interested listener. -
"Wal, stranger. I've killed
and strung over fifty of'm,"
answered Uie slim man.
"Fifty ducks ai one shot!"
exclaimed half a dozen.
"Yes, over fifty," replied the
slim man, "an' I don't mind
telling ye how it was done, if
ye really want to know." -
"How on earth did you ab
sucti a thing f You malt have
been where the ducks were
thick f', ventured a meek look-
ing individual.
"Wal, if ye'll give me a
chance I'll tell ve. I took a
trip tip to Calumet several
y eat sago and I never eeed so
mauy ducks in all my life,
took pn old army musket along
and one cartridge."
"One cartridge!" exclaimed
half a dozen. "You don't mean
to say you only took one cart
lidge and no other ammuni
tion ?"
"Wal, I did'n take anything
else but au old army musket,
Poker Play la* to Society.
Soeially, New York is under
a spell which exceeds and in-
cludes beauty, wiites a corres-
pondent of that city. Poker
powceses ns. The game of the
club and the fear room has been
taken into half ef the parlors of
the clry. It has all but driven
whist from the tables of wealth
and fashion. Women are es-
pecially infatuated with it. The
daintiest ,aud most circumspect
girls bluff and bet like old gam-
blers. Playing tor money is no
longer an iuduTgance in wicked-
ness, to blush for and whisper
about, but a common and not
reprehensible diversion. A five
cent ante and $1 limit are the
usual conditions, and you are
ignorant of the game if you
don't know that $10 may easily
be lost or won in an evening at
that rate. The belle without
her box of poker; chips is now
poorly outfitted for the enter-
tainment of friendly callers \
aud it will no,longer do for a
young man to go out fo| even-
ing visits with only a car fare
in hip pockets. The excitement
of gaming is naturally greater
to wotneu than men, and yet I
think they do better playing,
as a rule, by reason of their
self-control, quickness of per-
ception and concealment of pur*
pose. It may ba truly said of
this new rage for parlor gam-
bling that very often it goes
beyond mere sport.
