to larger objects-hairpins, steel pins and
long nails. This being also done in vain,
she swallowed among other things n GRO

a fork and piece Of iron.
On the surgeon asking how she coulo
swallow those rather bulky objects, sh.

edy For the Trouble.
Muscular 'crainp, muscular exhaustion,
or myalgia, as IL n vRriotisly called in
common and medical parlance, Is often
COMPOUNDED with neuralgia and rheuma.
tism There are undoubtedly many in.
stances of muscular .cramp In which one
or the other of the last named conditions
k present. But in these cases the exhaus.
ton depends upon the existing neuralgia
or rheumatic condition and disappears
under treatment of the original trouble.
Myalgia-the word Is derived from the
Greek, and means muscular pain-arises
from exhaustion Of the substance of the
muscle This loss of vitality Is in most
cases the result of subjecting the muscle to
excessive or long continued activity under
favorable conditions.
The amount of vitality which a muscle
consumes when in action is, of course,
proportionatc to tho amount of work re
quired of 1t, and under normal conditions
the supply furnished by the blood is suffi.
cient for the need. Under adverse condi.
tions. however, there is no opportunity
offered for the complete recovery of the
muscle from its labors, and strain is the
result The muscle feels lamc and sore,
and not infrequently one can almost i'm.
agine that in some way it has become tied
into knots.
Myalgia may attack any muscle, though
there are certain ones which, by reason OF
their location, are endangered more than
others. Seamstresses are very liable to
have cramp in the muscles of the shoulder
ON account of the steady application and
confinement necessitated by the nature OF
their occupation.
A favorite seat for myalgia, as most OF
US can testify from painful experience, is
in the calves Of the legs The pain is cspe
cially severe on lying down at night, anG
may bo SO great as even to draw up tn,
limbs
Massage offers the only certain relief
from myalgia. The rubbing should be
brisk 10 insure an abundant circulation OF
blood to the distressed muscles, and foi
this reason also il should be in the direc.
tion of the vessels through which the
blood flows.
Liniments Of various kinds may be
tried, or, what is better, the external appli.
cation Of alcohol may be resorted to.
Cloths wrung out of hot water, with a
teaspoonful or so Of laudanum sprinkled
Oh them, and placed directly over the ach.
ing muscles, are useful to ease the pain.
When the trouble is in the muscles OF
the leg, hot footbaths may be employed t.
restore the circulation in the limbs and td
"draw out" the pain. The observation OF
general hygienic measures should not bt
forgotten where there is q tendency u

What Is Told OF Some OF His Experiences
While Painting Portraits.
The noted painting Of Queen Victoria
being crowned empress of India took three
years TO paint, and the artist, Val G. Prin-
sep, II. A, had many curious experiences
while at work. He went To India in the
winter of 1876. The picture Is 27 by 13
feet and contains $50 portraits. So 1t was
necessary To have sittings from many In
dian potentates. When Holkar was sit
ting. .Hhc grew tired and yawned, and all
the court at once engaged in swapping fin
gers 10 prevent the devil from leaping
down Holkar's throat. Indian ways were
new 10 the English artist, and he at
tempted TO assist unpack his painting ma
terials, but was told it was considered
highly degrading 10 stoop TO the shadow
of an attempt at manual labor. - After

tendant wiped IL of. -
On one occasion, when Holkar was sit.
ting, he grew impatient and manifested IL
In unmistakable fashion. Said Mr. Prin-
sep earnestly, IF the great God took five
and twenty years to make you as beautiful
as you are (Holkar was over 50), how can
you expect me TO paint you In as many
minutes:" The potentate became tractable
at once.
One rajah who refused to give the req
uisite number of sittings also refused TO
allow Mr.. Prinsep to take away his jeweled
coat to paint. Finally the artist told the
rajah's son unless his father let him Dor
row the coat he would be Obliged to paint
the rajah attired in his cooks garment.
Prinsep got the coat. Another rajah
would not eat in room where European
had been, and always washed himself after
shaking hands with white man. It was
q trying year passed by the artist. He had
to compose doggerel poetry to amuse his
sitters; witnessed elephant and buffalo
fights, and was thrown from his pony over
q bridge into n stream. One rajah took
some interest in the sittings and asked &c

his bulk, and it was reputed that he was
able TO eat q whole wild boar at one sitting.

Diver and Turtle.

Mr.. II. Phelps Whitworth, In The

thing edible, turtles being especially vel

Mr.. Whitworth says:

one OF these creatures Is still impressed

Accordingly, when 1 saw my first tur-

mendous. When was within few yards

crouched with beating heart, fearing that

BULLETS FOR sAvAoEs.


Eject ON Amy Body They Hit.
A correspondent OF the London Field
tells about experiments made with new
1903 calibcr bullet with reference to tho
regulation Lec-Metford bullet Of the
French army. He says:
"It Is and has been for some time an
open secret that the army (British) is
wholly without confidence in the regula-
tion e-Metford bullet as means of stop
ping charge of cavalry or rush Of the
sort of savage against whom in Asia and
Africa the British soldier is constantly be-
ing called on to act. Excellent against
target, IL is quite useless against foes. A
Pathan, during the Chitral campaign, had
six of these bulkts through various parts
of his body and was still fighting as hard
as ever when bullet in the neck came
through, knocked some of his teeth out
and stopped him. He was discharged from
the hospital In few days.
"The dun dun bullet Is rs accurate as
the Lce-Metford regulation projectile and
has as good range power Experiments
were made on piles of burned and sun
burned bricks, earth in bags and boxes,
wet and dry sand, cans full Of water, coal,
inch planks tied together, boiler plate,
skinned sheep and sheep with the wool ON.
In every instance save two the regulation
bullet passed through and was picked up
In condition almost fit to be used again,
but the dun dunn bullet spread out and
had less penetration, but there was great
or shock TO the material through which it
did CO., tearing holes in the sheep big
enough to put fist in.s
"Then A and inch planks were penetrat-
ed by the dun dunn bullet, 12 and 18 inch

SO, a clothed living body may offer sufficient
resistance to prevent it's going through. In
that case the whole of the enormous cner-
gy would De expanded in the enemy's
body, the bullet would set up (mushroom)
more, and--God help himl Judging by
the results on sheep carcasses, the hole Of
exit in man, II the bullet went through
would be so terribly large that the use of
this ammunition would be held to be too
inhuman in its effects for use on men or,
at any rate, against a civilized enemy.
The Geneva convention would not bar it,
for that forbids the use of an explosive in
small arm projcctile, but the effect of
the DUN dunn bullet is explosive. 1 do
not see why such bullet as the dunn dunn
should not be used against such uncivi-
lized enemies as the Fuzzy and the Ghizi,
who do not play the game, who will not
decently fall when hit, but who unreason-
ably come on after, with the advantage of
five TO one, and even when mortally
wounded make things nasty for our men.
