John Simon, of Zion Hill, and his
prowess is something marvellous.
Simon's arms were ground OF above
the elbows In machinery q few years
ago, but his love of hunting spurred
his ingenuity, and he overcame his
seeming insurmountable obstacle. He
straps his single-b barrel breech-loading
hammerless gun to his right arm, and
whom he sights game he swings the
piece over the stump Of his left arm,
takes quick aim and fire., generally
with telling effect. His mode of load
ing is as unique as his shooting. He
carries the shells in his hat. and when
he wants one bows low, drops his hat
on the ground, pulls out the empty
shell with his teeth, and in a similar
manner loads, then pushing his head
into his hat to recover his head. De-
spite his affection Simon has done

Denmark's Remarkable Jewels.


The most remarkable crown jewels
and silverware are to DO found In Den
mark, country not generally regarded
as exceptionally wealthy. They are
the result of 800 years collection and
resemble nothing that can be seen any
where else. Part of the throne itself
consists of three solid silver lions, life
size, and in the charcel of tho royal
chapel there are solid silver statues OF
the twelve apostles. There Ia also an
equestrian statue in solid silver of King
Christian *, mounted en- horseback,
with groups on the base representing
the various arts and industries which
go TO make Denmark prosperous. The
country has been reduced in area and
Importance by various wars, but the
royal dignity has remained unimpaired
and Is DIN many respects greater than
that OF monarchs OF very much larger
countries.
