FACTS ABOUT FIGURES.
The Avoirdupois of some European
Queens.


An enterprising individual has seen
lit to spend some time collecting facts
and figures concerning the ayoirdu-
pois of some of the Queens of Europe
and has proved that, according to the
standard of the sculptors, winch diff
fers from that of the dress makers
not one of the Royal women has a
beautiful figure.
Queen Victoria is the shortest adult
sovereign in the world. Her Majesty
is only fit. IL in. high and weight
III pounds Her bust and hips meas
ure A in. and so in. respectively
while her waist is 35 in.
The tallest Queen in Europe is the
young Nilhelmina, of Holland. She
is only 10 years old, but her height is
no less than fit. So in. She is light
ly built, with a weight of only $50
lbs, but has the bust measurement of
a Juno-42 in. Her waist measures
only 211s in. and her hips 40 in. Her
Majesty of Holland is, in other words,
SO i'll advised as to lace herself most
cruelty. The young sovereign's
bust measurement, despite her youth
is surpassed by that of none of the
Queens except Margherita OF Italy
and our own revered Ruler.
The heaviest Queen of Europe is
Margherita of Italy, the Pearl of
lbs, but her height, fit. in, enables
her to carry OFF, her stoutness ana
to preserve the carriage of young
woman. Her waist measurement of
IS in. and her bust meausre of 40 in.
show that despite her advancing
years, she still retains oueenly
hgure- Her hips measure 4S in. Her
noble profile still gives evidence of
the beauty which she possessed as a
girl.
A shade taller than Margherita is
the more willowy Queen Regent of
Spain. She is fit. 5 a in. in height
with weight of lat lbs. Her bust
and hips measure Sc in. and 40 in re-
spectively, and her waist is about
81 in.
One of the most superb figures
among European royalties is that OF
Natalie, the romantic Queen of Servia.
She is 5 fit. AZ in. high, with bust
measure of IS in. and waist measure
OF 22 in. Her hips are 40 in. round,
and she weighs 100 lbs.
Queen Sophia of Sweden and Queen
Marie Henrietta of Belgium are each
fit. in. in height, and their bust
measure is Sc in. Queen Sophia
weighs 140 lbs. and Queen Marie
lbs. more. The Swedish Queen pos
sesses on the whole, however, the
more stylish, if less natural, figure.
with waist measure of "a in, and
hip measure of 50 in, while the
Queen of the Belgians measures 27 in.
around the waist and 40 in. round the
hips.
The Queen of Portugal and the
Czarlna of Russia are closely paired in
the matter of size. Queen Amelia is
older and has a fuller and more ma
tronly figure She has a bust meas
ure of 35 in. and a waist measure of
rs IN, but some time ago she gave up
wearing corests, and the increase of
her waist measurement has not been
recorded.
The Czarina is only 80 in. around
the bust and % in. around the waist
Their hip measurement is or was the
same-3S in. The Czarina is ft
21s in. tall and weighs 100 lbs, while
Queen Amelia weighs 1913 lbs. and is
half an inch taller.

FILLING A PRESCRIPTION.
How Youthful Pharmacist Master.
ed a Difficult Situation.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
My faith III the efficacy Of medicines
has had a fearful shock-a stunning,
blow-from which it will be long in re-
covering. In one of the apartment
houses here in town there is a drug
store. Its proprietor is young man,
recently graduated from whatever 1t is
druggists are graduated FROM and he
keeps the shop with the assistance of
very young mana brash young man.
One evening not long ago an irascrible
man came in with prescription. He
wanted it put up at once. and he was
enc OF those men who, want whatever
they do want very much. indeed The
assistant was alone in the shop, and
when he began to explain that delay
would be unavoidable, the quick-temper-
ed man made ready to leave in rage
The assistant couldn't let the chance
slip. He took the prescription stepped
behind the screen, dashed out the back
door, and ran to the next drug store
Hidous mockery of fate. That drug
store on the next corner was closed be-
cause of somebody's death Back ran
the assistant He simply couldn't lose
the customer now. He looked at the
prescription. Only two words on it were
Ineligible TO him: aqua pura" heI
made them out Quickly he held a bottle
under cold water faucet, filed it.,
added 5a<few dropsaof two or three harm
less drugs, pasted a Label on, and a
moment later presented the bottle to the
waiting customer. Ninety cents was
what he charged for it. To himself he
argued that the doctor, seeing no i'm
provement in the patient, would change
the medicine In day or two. In the
meantime aqua pura could not do any
harm. He hadn't run the risk of poison
ing anybody. and possibly the second
prescription would be presented later
the thought Of another 80 cents cheered
him up considerably. Three DAYS later
the irscrible man came in again.
Say. he said to the proprietor "that
medicine you put up for my wife the
other day was great stuff-acted like A
charm. She wants another bottle Of II
to keep on hand
Then the assistant said few words
IN private to the proprietor and showed
him the prescription. He had not Judged
1t wise to refer to the matter before
me customer carried home a bottle-a
bottle of the SIPS size. The proprietor
himself filled it. and-wen, shan't fell
what 1t was. Come to think of IT. 7 he

the story. "a

opportunity to enlist in the Union army
was more than 900 miles, and the trouble
between the French and. Mexicans was
on, while armed bandits and guerrillas
infested the chaparrals and mountain
passes at every step. They were warned
over and over by friedly Mexicans not to
undertake the hazardous Journey, and
told that If they were not murdered by
bandits they would surely perish of thirst
on the great parched plains.
After discussing the matter for a whole
night John Joy said, just at daylight:
Boys. the word impossible amt in my
spellin' book. Let's go on. I started out
to join the Union army. and am going
to do it."
These brave men trudged across the hot
sands of Mexico day after day, with their
teeth clenched and a set purpose In their
hearts, hoping that they would reach the
army in time to strike one blow for the
Union Sometimes they marched withrRhe
Mexicans. at other times with the French.
One day they were fired upon by que
rrillas and on the next day they had to
fight bandits.
STICK TO THEIR TASK.
While hunger was gnawing at their
vitals and their threats were parched for
water they could look to the left and al
most see the plains of Texas, and they
Auily ASdllzSu lHdl II was only necessary
to turn aside and cross the Rio Grande
and proclaim themselves true Southern
men TO end all their terrible sufferings,
but not a man lost courage. After march
ing for more than fifty days, one evening
they came in sight of the sea and few
hours afterward they saw small vessel.
From the masthead of the ship f1oated
the Stars and Stripes.
Throwing their hats itno the air, they
shouted until their parched threats were
sore. Without much trouble they man
aged to reach one of the vessels of the
fleet that lying off the mouth of the Rio
Grande. where they told their story and
received a warm welcome. A few days
afterward they were sent to New Orleans,
where they all enlisted In the Union
army.
The story of their sufferings became
known to- Gen. Merritt, and he was so
much touched by their fidelity and cour-
age that he showed them many courtesies
and when the war ended and this gen.
eral set out to take possession of San An
tonic he took the Texans with him and
discharged them with $50 miles of their
homes.
During the absence of her husband Mrs.
Joy had battle with the Indians at her
house and killed chief with her own
hands Mrs. Joy is still living, as we'll as
her husband Their little farm is in the
Guadaloupe mountains.
The people of that region are Of pretty
much the same political faith, and old
