The Rims CT the Tuileries.

The area within and about the ruins
of the Tuileries has now beea entirely
cleared of the mass of fallen debris with
which it was encountered, and the demo-
lition of those parts OF the buildings that
still stand has been commenced during
the past week. The work can proceed
but slowly, owing to the precautions that
have to be taken to preserve from injury
those fragments possessing any artistic
or historical value. The operations,
which occupy sixty skilled workmen,

so generally admired, is found to be

Living with Lead in his Head.

We have heard much lately about
Justice Haight, of Pennsylvania, living
many days after a bullet bad been fired
In his brain. A more peculiar case is
now resident of this county. George
Sinsel, of Newfane, was private in the
Eighth New York Heavy Artillery. At
the charge on the rebel works at Peters
burg on the 18th day of June, 1864. a
minnie ball struck him in the head, break
ing the skull. The ball divided part
going outside and part going under the
skull. For three days ne lay on the
field and was reported dead After this
time he wandered into q hospital and
was treated, the physicians taking out
number of bones from his head. While
there he was under the care of DIR.
Moore, and on the 23rd day of October
following, DR.. Bradley, the assistant
surgeon. took from the unhealed wound
piece of rebel lead which had lain
there over four months. Now Mr. Sin
sci is as well apparently rs ever. though
he has 4 depression in his skull large
enough to hide walnut, and over
Y ich there is no skull bone. The ease
was a wonder to the surgeons at the
time it occurred, and greater wonder
to the man himself that re should be
alive.-L0e6p0rt (La.) Journal

The Blue-eyed Violetg Gun Corps.

"Oh, girls, I've got the cutest ideal
exclaimed the president of the Blue
eyed Fiolets,' by way of calling the
meeting to order. Several OF the girls
stopped talking and the president re
sumed:
You know the Baby Mines have
got up an archery club, the Mite Soci-
ety. are giving those silly mum sOcials,
bicycle club-did you ever hear any
thing so ridiculous in your life? Now.
think it would be toe sweet for any use
for US to get up a gun club. b"
By this time all the girls were inter
ested listeners.
Il think it would be horrid' inter.
posed the society kicker Il never shot
off gun in my life. y"
Here the slangy girl whispered to the
president that the speaker ''shot off hel
mouth good deal. and was only mad
because a gun could kick harder than
she could. y
Most of the girls favored the idea OF
account of its novelty, and upon put
ting it to vote the president declared
that it was unanimously determined to
a
sition put on their things and went home.
The next thing in order was the Sc
lection of an appropriate name. One
girl wanted it called 'sThe Pansy Gun
Club another thought the maiden
hair Fern Gunnersn would be nicer.
Here the grammatical member took
exception to the last name suggested,
calling attention to the fact that gunner
was masculine and offering as q sabsti-
tute 1.-The Maiden-hair Fern Gunner
ess.n
The president said she had given the
matter good deal of thought and SHIT
favored some name that looked as il
they meant business, and that her broth.
er agreed with her and told her The
Hit the Centers," or THE Target Sac
ritices'' would be a good name.
1t was finally decided, however, the
club should be known as the ''Blue-eyed
Violets' Gun Corps"
''Do we have those pretty little silver
guns, that we can carry in our hand
bags?" asked one of the girls.
.'Of course not. Besides, them aim,
guns: they're pistols"
well, / guess / know better My
brothers got one, and he knows He
is always talking about his gun"
''No such thing; the other name for
them is pops Ny brother has two OF
EN-, and he nearly shot his hand off last
summer and think he ought to know,
said the president.
why couldn't we use toy pistols?'
said one timid girl.
''Or we might throw torpedoes at the
target remarked the president sarcas-
tically.
Maybe you think toy-pistols ain't
dangerous, Miss Smarty? guess had
a cousin killed by shooting one, and hi
only fired nineteen thousand caps, too
so therer
Then the toy-pistol and revolver ad
vocates left, and there remained only
the president and the slangy girl.
Said the latter. Il never saw such 8
gang of chumps in my life"
''Well, they haven't got much nerve, y
! responded the president, and then, med
itatiyely, ''do YOU know I've got a good
notion to join the Lilies Bicycle Club
what do you say?"
'.All right, it's 4 CO." replied the
slangy girl.
And that was the wind-up of the
''Blue-eyed Violets' Gun Club. Gin

This case is formed in one solid piece
without joint Or seam, opening in front
only, thus avoiding the usual Cap. and
securing greater strength and durability.
These watches are all open face. The
bezel, into which an extra strong crystal
isfitted with an especially prepared water
proof cement, is attached To the case by
screwing it thereon, and thus forms an
air tight Junction with the body of the
case, which is proof against dust and
moisture.
To railroad men, travellers, miners,
lumbermen and others who are almost
constantly exposed and who have to make
frequent reference to the watch, these
qualities are of the utmost importance.
