rience With an Ancient Helmet.
A singular proof of the strength of
Victor Emmanuel H., grandfather of
the present king, is recalled by an in
cident that happened the other day.
King Victor Emmanuel III. was visit
ing the Naples Museum and stepped
before a case of magnificent armor,
for which he has a great weakness,
as had his grandfather before him.
The king especially admired a helmet
once actually worn by a gladiator,
which weighs sixty pounds and which
he took in his hands.
One of the suite then laughingly re-
lated that once he was in the museum
with Victor Emmanuel H., who stop
ped before that very armor and ad-
mired the helmet in the hands of the
king. So interested was he that.
after remarking that it seemed i'm.
possible that man could move in
such thing, he closely ex.
amined it, and suddenly, with the
words, Permit me; | want to try it,
slipped it over his own head. All
present were filed with establishment.
which turned to dismay when the king
tried to remove it. There it was
tightly fixed, and no amount of pull.
ing-which, of course. in the circum.
stances, had to be discreet-could
move it. Apprehension turned to real
fright, but finally with the help of a
little oil at the joints the helmet
came or. Victor Emmanuel II. was

FEDERAL LAW MAKERS.

Washington, Feb. 16.-At the con-
clusion of the morning hour in the
senate when the unfinished business
the shipping bill-was laid before
the body, Senator Spooner (rep.,
Wis., moved to proceed to the con-
sideration of the oleomargarine bill
By a practically unanimous vote,
only two senators voting in the mega
tive, the motion prevailed. Thus the
subsidy bill was displaced as unfin-
ished business and the oleomargarine
bill placed in that order. Among
the pension bills passed were those
giving pensions of $50 a month to the
widows of General Du Barry, Admiral
Crosby, Col. Liscum, Admiral Ficken
and Commissary General Penrose.
The house made little progress with
the sundry civil appropriation bill.
The major portion of the time was
'pent in debating the proposition Of
fered by Mr.. Hill Comm to strike out
the appropriation of 100000 for the
free transportation of silver coin. Il
was defeated 61-66.
