Innocent-Lookiuc shells That Have Mis-
chief Left IN Them. .lH
One result Of the war with Spain has
been to food this country with relics
gathered at Santiago and elsewhere by
American soldiers and correspondents,
which they have proudly distributed
among their friends on their return.
These relics, says the Washington
Star, vary in character from, q Cuban
machete to fragments of shells which
exploded in the fierce fighting Of July
LIST and I'd. The greater proportion Of
the curiosities are Mauser cartridges,
some in their loading slips, others
loose. some empty, others loaded and
as capable of doing damage as ever.
Their percussion caps are in place, and
it requires relatively slight blow on
the proper place to explode them. A
word of warming is seasonable, per
haps, to prevent tragedies growing out
of the inordinate curiosity Of some
people, particularly OF small children,
who are always irresistibly attracted
by firearms and their missiles. One
Of these loaded shells, it is understood,
fell out of boys pocket IL one of the
public schools of this city the other
| day, and CHANGING to strike on the acp
| against d projection of the iron standard
of his desk, exploded with sufficient
force to send the ball through the
flooring above. Fortunately no damage
was done, but it is clear that death
might readily have followed this chapce
explosion had the ball taken q slightly
| different course. In one other way
these cartridges may be a source OF
danger. The balls are not SO tightly
embedded in the shells that they can
not be worked out by the fingers, This
is one of the distinguishing features. Of
the Mauser shell over that of tho Krag,
which requires plier to extract the
ball. This facility in unloading the
cartridge offers temptation to the
curious to take out the celebrated
"smokeless powder" from the shell
and experiment with it. 1t will not
explode in the open, but it will flame
up suddenly, and is apt to burn the
experimenter badly, perhaps binding
him. These warnings are worthy oi
attention by parents and othors. The
relics should be safely guarded, If kept,
and at oil events placed out OF the
reach Of the little folks who naturally
have no discretion in handling such
things.

HoRS-BoRlSa INSECTS.
Caterpiiiars That Pertorate Antiers In AT
RIGA and India.

LouuOu MAIL.
A curious fact which for many years
has proved n bone of contention among
scientific men has just been decided.
Sportsmen and naturalists when hunt
ing in India and Africa have from
time to time had brought under their
notice the horns of various species of
deer and buffalo which have been more
or less perforated by insects. On care
full examination it, was found that the
little creatures which tunnelcd and
made their home in tho hard fibre of
the horn were tho caterpillars, or
larvae of n moth, belonging to the
same family as tho common and all
too familiar clothes moth.
From their diminutive size the
moths belonging to this family have
received the name OF tineidae; and it
has been observed that they arc all
more or less given TO making their
homes in strange places during the
larval stage Of their existence. The
little larvae of our old enemy, the
clothes moth, for instance, make for
themselves protective cylinders out of
the clotn they so greedily devour.
Sometimes these tubes present
very curious appearances owing to their
having boon enlarged as the insect has
grown and different colored materials
| used for tho new portions of the old
case. The larvae of another branch of
this family deck themselves out with
| floral garments, the calyx of the flower
| OF the common marjoram being a very
mining disposition, and love to ex-
cavnte elaborate tunnels in the leaves
OF tho honeysuclsle.
Strange as these habits appear, it is
yet more wonderful thai species of
these soft-bodicd insects should lie
capable of boring into so hard sub
| stance rs the antlers of deer. During
the 43 or so years that these horn
devouring larvae have been under obs
servation, the various stages of their
| existence have been carefully noted,
from the laying of the egg upon the
horn by the mother moth to the final
appearance of her offspring rs perfect
male and female insects
| The larvae on emerging from the egg
bore down into tho horn, and when
they have eaten their fill and are ready
for their chrysals sleep they tunnel up
to the surface, SO that they may have
q convenient exit by which to make
their escape when the pupal sleep is
over and they have become perfect
moths.
But although so much of their life
history was known, there still re-
mained one problem unsolvcd. This
knotty question was that no one knew
for certain whether these larvae at
tackled the horns and antlers of tho
buffalo and deer while tho animals
were alive or only after death. After
many years of speculation and con-
fiicting opinions it has at last been
conclusively proved that these insects
do infest the horns of living quadru
! peds, for the news has Just come 10
hand that both the larvae and chrysaiis
have beer. taken from the horns within
an hour of tho death of the animal to
which they belonged.

WHEN pAPA's SICK.


When papa's sick, my goodness sakesl
Such awful. awful times it makes;
He speaks in, oh ! such lonesome tones,
And gives such ghns'iy kind Of groans,
And rolls his eyes aud holds his head,
And makes ma help him up to bed,
While Sis and Bridget run to heat
Hot-wgter bags to warm his feet :;
And must get the doctor quick
We have to jump when papa's sick.
When papa's sick ma has to stand
Right side the bed and hold his hand,
While Sis she has to fan an fan,
For he says he's "a dyin' man."
And wants the children round him to 49,
BE there when 'sufferin' pa gets through ~
He says he wants to say good-bve
And kiss us all and then he'll die;
Then means and says his "breathin's
thick"- s- t}
It's awful sad when papa's sick.
When papa's sick he acts that way
Until he hears the doctor say:
you've only got cold, you know;
You'll be all right N day or so;''
And then-well. say You ought TO see,
He's different as he can be, SCI
And growls and swears from noon to night
Just cause his dinner amt cooked right,
And all he does is fuss and kick
We're all used up when papa's sick.

Most people imagine, y said a nerve
specialist to a New Orleans Times
Democrat reporter, THAT doctors have
some infallihle test by which thcy can
detect insanity immediately. OF course,
that's all nonsense. There are many odd
methods of diagnosing such cases, how
ever. In locomotor ataxin the patient
cannot walk with his eyes shut, In
incipient paresis there is difficulty in
articulating particular letters, and one
famous scientist used to make his
patients say national intelligencer.
A man with an iacipient casb of the
disease can't pronounce these words
distinctly to save his soul. Another
very eminent practitioner employed
truly rural for the same purpose. II
you have paress ! would advise you
not to try TO say truly rural'--at least
not in company. s.,t.

Of the lawyers made the experts the

test and asked to have it applied to
himself. There was no reflex action
and the fact had powerful effect on
the Jury. especially as the lawyer hap

Add the first three figures and the
sum equals the first two figures-1 plus

Add the first, second and fourth
figures and the sum equals the first two
fgures-1 plus plus equals Is.
Add all four figures and they make a
multiple of each of the last two figures
i plus 8 plus plus equals 27.
Subtract the first figure from each of
the last two figures and the remainder
represents the second figure-9 minus

Subtract the second figure from each
Of the last two figures and the re.
maindcr represents the first fgure-9
minus equals l.
Subtract either of the last two figures
from the first two figures and the re-
mainder equals either o. the last two
figures-16 minus 8 equals 9.
Subtract the first two figures from
the last two figures and the remainder
represents the first two figures reversed
30 minus IS equals 81.
Multiply the last two figures and tho
result represents the first two figures
