DIAMOND STUD AS APPAREL.

\ young man who had not found it
convenient to pay Il tailor's bill was
brought up on Il creditors bill by the
cruel tailor before very kind heart
ed vice chancellor, who liked the
youth. He was handsomely dressed.
and wore costly diamond i'm his
shirt front, but declared under oath
that he had no property except his
wearing apparel. The tailor's law
yer claimed that diamond stud was
not an article of wearing apparel and
asked for its surrender, but the JUS
tice ruled that the diamond button
held the parts of his shirt together.
and its removal would lead to indie
cent exposure of his person.
Then the lawyer urged that the
shirt was new kind that opened in
the back, but the judge met this by
saying: THE presumption of the law
is that shirts button in front, and
the court does not iudcially know
that shirts ever button in the back
The court will not require the defen
dant TO submit to an examination &c
rebut the presumption" And so th,
diamond remained on the bosom
which cherished it.

GOV. BUDD VOLUNTEERS.
CALIFORNIA EXECUTIVE OFFERS
HIS SWORD.
His Example Followed by the Govern
ors of Several Other States-Shnrp
Rivalry for Brigadier-Generalships.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 27.-Gov-
ernor Budd has volunteered to lead
the California troops. If President
Mckinley accepts his offer he will re-
sign the governorship.
CALIFORNIA; quota, under the call
for $4,000 volunteers made by Pres
ident Mckinley on last Saturday, is
400. The infantry will consist of
$500 men and the artillery of 500.
AS has been known all along the
National Guard is to be given the first
opportunity to volunteer. Its strength
for some time past has been $500 Of
troops. On that basis the National
Guard will not be able to supply the
volunteers required, because il must
be expected that a certain percentage
of the men will fail to pass the re-
quired muster examination, and an
other percentage will be excused for
various good reasons. The governor
and General Barrett believe. however,
that with the number of new men
now joining or about to join the Ma
tional Guards various companies all
over the State, it will be more than
able to supply all of the necessary
men.
California's quota is one battalion
short of three regiments. It is sup
posed it is the intention of the War
Department to attach the troops
from Nevada to this command. Tn
that case the President would appoint
Brigadier-General There is much
rivalry for this position. Governor
Budd wants it and so do General John
II. Dickinson and several other gen
eral officers of the California Nation
al Guard.
Governor Budd's offer of his servi-
ces has been followed by similar Of
fers by governors of other states.

Distinguished Handles Artists.

A Belgian artist, one of Watteau's
students Caesar Ducornet-was hand
less, having been born without arms,
and with only rudimentary legs, and
yet he carried off all the prizes at Lille,
won golden medals in Paris, and had
pictures in the Louvre. He used to
hold the palette with one foot stump,
and use the brush with the other. A
slender scaffold was built in front of
his easel, and on this he writhed and
twisted, climbed and crouched, leaving
traces of color wherever he passed,
traversing the canvas with the swift
ness Of fly upon the wall. Antwerp
had an artist who copied the MASTER,
pieces of Rubens, and yet had no
hands. ALI his work was done with
his toes, and so well did he paint that
his pictures fetched a higher price for
their artistic merit than those of any
other artist in the city England's
handless painter, Mr.. Bartram Hiles,
at the age of Is had exhibited his first
picture at the Bristol academy. and
succeeded in winning the national
scholarship of the value of f10O for
two years. He both paints and models
with his mouth. Herr Adam Stepen
of New York, is another armless artist,
who guides the brushes with his toes.
The young Swiss artist Aimee Rapin,
has no arms, but manipulates her cray
on in wonderful manner with her
right foot. A German lady, known as
the .'foot artist" (because armless and
painting with her feet), four years ago
married professional signer. The
wedding ring was placed on her fourth
toe, and she signed the register With
her foot. b; -.

A BOLD BANK ROBBERY
Famous Place of Moneys the Scene of
the Strange ACT.

Famous Place OF Moneys the Scene of
the Strange Act.
Between 1 and o'clock on a recent,
Saturday afternoon daring theft was
committed in the banking department
Of the Bank of England, which is re-
served for purely banking transac-
lions, general or public banking busi-
ness being done in other departments,
says the London Times. Two walk
clerks" or messeng gers, were sent from
Messrs. Coutts to the Bank Of Eng
land with an order for $4,000. One of
the clerks, it appears, remained out
side in cab, while his colleague pro-
ceeded to obtain the money, which was
handed to him across the counter in
three canvas bags, each Of which con-
tanned f1,000. The clerk seems to have
had his attention diverted in some way,
and he left the counter. His absence,
however, was quite momentary, but ON
his return one Of the bags was miss
ing. An alarm was at once raised and
the police of Old. Jewry station were
Immediately communicated with. It is
stated that almost at the moment Of
the discovery Of the theft a respect
able-looking we'll -dressed man left the
banking department, carrying a bag in
his hand, and it is assumed that this
was the stolen property. The thief, Or
thieves, however, succeeded in escap-
ing. The robbery was particularly
'audacious one, and it is believed that
the culprit had "shadowed" Messrs. !
Coutts' messengers for some time in
order to ascertain the latter's move
ments before acting.
