JUST vAccINATEo. THAT'S ALL


The Pretty Young Woman Made the
Passen9ers Angry.
There was something strikingiy pic
torial in the appearance of young
lady who sat in the upper left-hand
corner Of a Jackson avenue trolley car
during one of its outbound runs the
other morning, says the New Orleans
Times Democrat. 1t was due, no doubt.
to many things-to the aristocratic
slenderness Of her figure; to her wide.
dreamy eyes, the exact color OF wood
violets; to the great black forest OF os-
trich plumes that formed her hat; 10
the geometric curve Of the towering
collar Of her cape. At any rate. she
ffoOaei as il sic might have sauntered
out of the pages OF some journal OF
fashion-a beautiful denizen Of picture
paper land, where skirts always hang
in just the proper folds and trousers
never bag at the knee.
Everybody looked st her. the men ad-
miringly and the women cOldly. as they
always do when another woman is bet
ter dressed, and she withstOod the scru
tiny with regal compOsure. She did
not seem aware that anybody else was
present. At last the car neared her
corner. and when she had pressed the
button and the wheels were almost at
a standstill she arose calmly and glided
down the aisle. She was at the door
when the car came to full stop. and
seeing her stagger slightly from the
shock, the conductor instinctively laid
his hand upon her arm.
1t was a courteous and respectful act
and one that might have saved her
from fall. but the instant his fingers
touched her sleeve the naughty beauty
leaped backward as il she had seen an
apparition. Her delicate face went
pale and her dreamy eyes blaZed-
Don't touch ME, sir." she exclaimed.
with harshness that shocked and as
tonished every hearer. The conductor
was a plain, kindly man. and. flushing
with modification and chasrin. he
turned back to his platform. while the
young woman gathered her skirts ana
passed swiftly through the door. well,
l must say" remarked an elderly gen
tleman who had taken in the episode
over the top of his newspaper. that
was about the most painful exhibition
of superciliousness l ever witnessed in
my life. Pshaw! No wonder the poor
are embittered." There was a grOwi
of approval and the conductor thrust
smiling face through the doorway
Don't blame de young lady. gents
he said. cheerily. "She explained it all
when she was gettin' off. She didn't
mean nothinI. You see. she's just beeD
vaccinated."

Mistake of Maker of Artificial Limbo

NistaLe Of q Maker of Artificial Limbs
Pleased One of His Patrons.
The artificial limb business has its
amenities, like every other calling. for
there is no occupation SO serious but
furnishes matter for jest at those en-
gagged in it. Some years ago In large
Western city a switchman in the yards
Of a railroad company fell on the track
and the locomotive wheels crushed both
his ankles in such a way as to necessi-
tate amputation about four inches
above the ankle joint. The man was
taken to the railroad hospital. the nec-
essary operations were performed and
he was placed in bed to await recovery.
A dav or TO after the railroad ecc!~
dent the mororman Of an electric car.
while leaning over the front board to
make a running switch, lost his bal
ance. fell over and the wheels crushed
both feet. He was taken home and the
feet were amputated a few inches
above the ankle. Thus the two acci-
dents were remarkably similar, 50 far
as the nature and situation Of the In
jury were concerned; the two men re-
covered about the same time and sent
to the same legmaker to be fitted with
new pairs Of legs. The obliging manu-
facturer came. took measurements and
made memoranda of the height Of the
patients ere they were shortened by
the surgeons attention. The switch
man had been about 6 feet l inch and
the motorman was one Of those short.
square-built. muscular men Of about
feet 2. a type that can work harder and
longer than men Of any other size or
build
The motorman got well first and sent
for his legs. They came. but by mis-
take the locomotive apparatus which
had been manufactured for the long
man was sent to the short. Owing to
the unusual thickness Of his members
the leg sockets fitted we'll enough TO
suit him, 30 he put on the legs and
went to his former home in an Eastern
city. A few days later the tall man
the stumpy appendages presented by
the legmaker he few into passion and
refused to take them. He didn't pro-
pose to be a dwarf to please anybody
and IL they didn't give him good. long
legs he wouldn't have any.
The mistake was then perceived and
after a good deal of trouble the manu-
facturer procured the address Of the
short motorman and wrote, informing
him of the mistake and requesting him
to serd back the legs which did not be-
long TO him and they would promptly
forward his own members, pay express
charges both ways and thank him very
much into the bargain. But the short
man would do nothing Of the kind. He
wrote back sturdy refusal. declaring
that he was very well pleased with the
legs; they made him about ten inches
longer than he was before: without
even taking thought. he had added

know his business that was no affair OF

The case thus assumed a serious
aspect. The legmaker considered the
propriety Of going East to get the run

would absorb all the profit Of the trans
action. Next he thought Of suing the
stumpy man, but the idea Of suing for
a pair Of legs was ridiculous and the

BRITISH HOWITZERS AND BOER CREUSOTES.
Something South

t in the South

combination of guns and men that is only
employed when it is considered by COM
petent military authority that the final
stages in a war are being approached.
The material of the siege train which
recently arrived at the Cape is composed
chiefly of howitzers. Altogether about
thirty of these pieces of ordnance are
being employed. supplemented 10y num-
ber Of 4.I-inch and 4-iDch ordinary
breech loading guns. Owing to the ex'
tremely solid manner in which they are
| constructed, the guns forming the arma-
ment of a siege train are extremely
heavy. Thus. when limbered up. the
Grinch howtzer alone weighs nearly -four
and half tons in draught. Then. in ad'
dition to the pieces themselves. train
must be provided with a vast quantity OF
artillery stores of all descriptions. as well
as with ammunition to the extent of 5N
| rounds per gun. 1t will. therefore. read
lily be understood that the task of moving
siege train up country is in no sense OF
the term a light one.
A curious point in connection with
| howitzer weapon is that it is fired at
remarkably high elevation. This. in
great measure, is owing to the fact that
its comparatively low muzzle velocity
makes its shell follow curved path as il
travels through the air. The circum-
stance, however, is rather an advantage
than otherwise. for it insures particu
larly steep angle of descent, thus mate
rally contributing to increased effective
ness at the moment of impact. Another
and even greater benefit arising from this
| well-marked trajectory of howitzer pro
| jectile consists in the fact that IT en-
ables the gun to be worked altogether
under cover of ground. Indeed. thanks
to a most ingenious range-hnding instru-
ment that is used with these pieces. it is
practically unnecessary that the object
| aimed at should be in view when a round
| is being fred.
In connection with the employment OF
a siege train, it is rather curious to note
that. despite the vast amount of warfare
| in which Britain has been engaged of re
cent years, this is the first occasion on
which such an "article of war" has been
used since the days Of the Crimean cam

and the knowledge was a matter of gen

rot generally known. that the Transvaai
Government gave an order to the firm of
Schneider-Canet Of Creusot. in France,
for two Of the largest guns ever CON
structed for any Government. These
huge pieces of ordnance were OF l2-inch
and 9H2-inch caliber respectively.
The London Daily Mail gives some in
tcresting facts in connection with these
big guns in the possession of the Beers.
The power of a Pinch gun such as that
now in the possession of the Beers will
be better appreciated when it is explained
that it fires a projectile weighing half
ton, which can penetrate target Of solid
steel four inches thick. The gun weighs
sixty-six tons. The 91Ainch gun is light

These guns. whose shells can wreck solid
stone buildings as completely as if their
objective were so much cardboard. are
believed to be at Pretoria, mounted on
substantial bastions in the fort, and in

march on the Transvaal capital takes

of the British siege train sent to the
Cape and which. in the final struggle, will
