THUMB BLOWN Fr.-Curiosity is said
to be the characistios of women and
children, and considerable that we hear
goes to verify the saying. Indian maid
ems are not exempt from the curiosity
natural to their sex, and as ON instance
of such curiosity, we will mention that
one OF them picked up giant-powdei
cap, and although she was told by q
buck that there WAS heap powder in
side Of the shell, she preferred to have
occular demonstration rather than trust
to the bucks word. She accordingly com
menced picking at it with nail. holding
it with the thumb and index finger of he,
left hand. Finally there was whiz
puff and flash, and when the squav
looked she failed to observe the giant
powder cap or the first joint of hel
thumb-it had flew from her gaze. Tit
doctor dressed her hand but could no
restort the missing thumb joint. W.
venture to say. however, that her curl
osity is not satisfied. and that should sh
encounter another giant.powder cap sh'
would go to work to solve the problem
again.
