Which Wasn't Loaded With Pin
and 1t Exploded.

While sitting in his kitchen and pick
ing at cartridge with a pin Monday
j. w. Delaplaine suffered the loss
of the thumb and index finger of his
left hand. The cartridge had no
bullet in it and he thought it but an
empty shell and he was picking at it
to fit it on the end of lead pencil
The explosion was sharp and violent,
all the powder apparently having been
left in the shell, and it tore his hand
badly and barely missed striking him
in the eye. DR.. Fulton and Dr. Teas
were called. The latter administered
chloroform and the former amputated
the thumb close to the hand and the
index finger at the second joint. II

TWO LARGE FAMILIES.
Dead Queen and DownEer Duchess of
Abercorn Have Many De-
scendants.

Wonderful as was the record of the
descendants of Queen Victoria who al
the time of her death had ~ surviving
in point of number, at any rate, it falls
short of that of one of the most il
lustrious of her subjects, the duches
.dowager of Abercorn. This venerable
lady, who, by the way, will enter upon
her ninetieth year on July S, has no
less than 1928 descendants living at the
present time. a contrast or com
parison may prove interesting.
The queen had nine children, of
whom six survive.
The duchess has had IA children, of
whom nine survive.
The queen had 10 grandchildren, OF
whom 81 survive.
The duchess had 62 grandchildren
of whom 81 survive.
The queen had 81 great-grandchil-
dren, of whom 81 survive.
The queen had - great-grandchil-
dren, which brings up the sum total of
her living descendants to 1913. No less
than four of these are or will be dukes
the duke of Abercorn is her son, the
duke of Marlborough a grandson; an
other grandson, the earl of Dalkeith,
is heir apparent to the dukedom oe
Buccleugh while, in all human prob
ability, a son of her granddaughter
Lady Evelyn Cavendish, will one day

HER RING WAS TOO SMALL.
mt Her Coronation Many
Years Ago.

At her coronation the late Queen
Victoria gave evidence of remarka BILE
courage and self-control for so young
"a woman. The ceremonial ring was a
size too small and her majesty pointed
the fact out to the archbishop of Cam
terbury, who, however, told her that
she must wear it whether it fitted or
not, and she therefore forced ii over
her knuckle, In a few moments the
finger began to swell and pain her ex-
cruciatingly, and, as she afterward
said, it required all her self-possession
to prevent her from screaming At
last ii fortunately turned black and
became numb. On her way back TO
Buckingham palace she never spoke
word until she alighted and saw her
little terrier in the entrance vestibule.
"Thank God it is all over" she ex.
claimed. There's Dash" - and
straightway hurried to her chamber
TO get the offending ring off, which was
no easy matter. Only a few mon tbs ago
her majesty, in turning over a jewel
box, found this very ring and repeated
tie anecdote to Jane Lady Churchill.

ENGLAND MAKES GOLD DEAR.
to Keep the Precious Metal
ut Home.

When the tide of gold GIBBS from
the shores of Great Britain there is
only one course open to the Bank of
England, says London newspaper.
1t raises the rate which it is willing
to pay for gold placed on deposit; in
other words. it makes gold dear in
England. by this means persons
having gold are induced to allow it
to remain in England, where it can
earn a higher rate of interest than
elsewhere.
An equally effective way of keeping
a big reserve at the Bank of England
would be to hold all gold received
and make payments in silver. This
is done by the Bank of France, which.
in times of like emergency, can pay
in fve-franc pieces. Fortunately, or
unfortunately, the Bank of England
is not allowed to take similar action,
1t can only make gold dear.
1t is sometimes said that English
sovereigns, being of finer quality
than continental gold pieces, are pat
into foreign melting pots and re-
christened. This is not frequently
done. Like the Bank of England it
self, the great banks of France and
Germany often store great sums of
foreign money when it comes to
them at favorable rate of exchange,
and let il 90 again when fair profit
can be made on the transaction.

CITIZEN ARMY FOR AUSTRALIA
The New Federation IL Taking stems
to Provide for II National
Defense.

The idea of a citizen army for the
Australian commonwealth is taking
a very strong hold of a large section
of the people. The scheme which
seems most likely to be adopted is
that formulated by Brig. Gen. Cor
don, commandant of the South Aus
tralian forces, under which every
man who is physically fit and be-
tween the ages of 1S and 81 will be
taught to shoot, will undergo an
army training for certain number
of weeks every year, and will under
take to join the ranks of the federal
volunteer army whenever necessity
arises.
The federal government would,
under this scheme, says the Mel
bourne correspondent of the London
Express, provide instruction, arms,
accoutrements, ammunition and uni
form, and would pay each man who
made himself efficient bonus of G 10
to $40 year for noncoms, and reg
ular army pay for officers.
Each state would raise sufficient
men to guarantee immunity against
attack by a foreign foe, and would
supply the needs of the empire in the
event of any such emergency as that
which in South Africa has found so
loyal and enthusiastic response. I'm.
der this scheme it is calculated that
it would not be difficult to raise with
in five years a capable and eilciens
citizen army of 100000 men.

in their day.
One day party of men, including
Jackson. the man of big feet. were
preparing to attend political meeting.
1t was soon discovered that there was
no way Of conveying Jackson, as all
the vehicles were full.
LET me ride that horse over there?"
asked Jackson.
"There isn't man in the world that
can ride that animal. He'll work to a
cart or plow, but no one can stay on
his back"
an try him, anyway" And the deter
mined man instructed several men tc
catch and hold the horse.
The animal plunged and kicked. but
finally jackson secured seat In the

round, saw the mans feet and walked
peacefully away He thought he was

when Mr.. d'Orsay in his peculiar way
began:

One man present pulled out his

to go, but the actor stopped them by
his assurance that the story wouldn't
be very long.
"There was a friend of mine in Lon.
don," he said, "who was an incessant
cigarette smoker. Finally he lost his
memory. Then he forgot to smoke Gig
arettes, and he got well again."

After making these payments any
one Gun run a bus In London wherever
he likes, subject of course to the gen
eral rules and regulations bearing upon
oil vehicular traffic. Attached TO each
bus is n stud OF IL horses, of which on
ly ten. or Ave pairs, are worked in any
one day. thus securing complete days
rest for each pair every sixth day. AS
a bus runs 64 miles day and five
pairs of horses are used 1t follows that
bus horses days work Is 10 miles,
which he does in less, considerably
less, than three hours, the rate at
which he travels being between five
and six miles an hour.
This does not seem great deal to
exact from horse, still the work Is
hard, often involving prolonged dead
pull at the trot. and the crowded condi-

harder by necessitating continual devi-
ations out of the way Of obstacles and

The "CnmeI,s Hair" Brush,

Contrary to the belief of most peo-
pie, the camels hair brush used by art.
lists has nothing of the camel in it,
said manufacturer of soft brushes ia
writer the other day. "There was q
time when real camers hair was used
for the purpose. The ship of the des.
ert, however. has long been superseded
by the homely little squirrel. Not only
is squirrels hair very much less costly,
but it is better, softer, more pliable and
far more durable. At the present day
1t Is doubtful If you could find pound
Of camers hair in all the brush facto-
ries in this country. However. there ia
no cause for fear that the graceful lit.
tie squirrel will be exterminated. 1t is
the European squirrel that furnishes
the hair for the brushes. the covering
of the American squirrel being too fur
ry and soft for the purpose" Wash
