FAMOUS LARGE FAMILY.
Berlin Mother of 40 Has Twenty-eiGht
Children.

Berlin Mother of 40 Has Twenty-eight
Children.
There are more things in heaven and
earth than are dreamt of in our every
day philosophy, and one Of the most
curious among them is the mysterious
way in which the birth rate of coun-
try goes up and down in accordance
with political or even social require
ments. This strange phenomenon
greatly exercised the ingenuity of Ro-
man statisticians recently when his
holiness the Pope, desiring to comment
crate the celebration of his jubilee,
gave orders that every child born in
the Eternal City on that memorable day
or night-shou,d receive gift Of
baby Linen and small sum of money.
The head Of the Papal treasury duly
made his preparations accordingly and
based his calculations of the cost on
the averages as recokned by the sta
tistical tables. According to these doc
uments, the average number Of chill
dren who come into the world daily in
the italian capital is thirty-five. and
for so many innOcents did the treasury
of the vatican make provision. But
the Roman mothers, having heard Of
the windfall in store for their darlings,
upset these prosaic calculations by Civ
ing birth to exactly ninety-three olive
branches, the number of the POpes
years in this vale of tears. "WOrldly
lodi is i'm Of =,
murmured one puzzled papal official.
''Fools and children cannot lie," re-
piled one Of the happy parents, and
as the certificates We're all in order,
the Pope's officials thought that they
had better believe than insist upon
further proof. although some of the
newborn babes looked like "chldren
Of a larger growth" Among them were
triplets, consisting of two boys and one
girl. To the former were given the
names or Romulus and Remus, while
their unconscious sister was honored

1t would be dangerous to try in Rer-
lin benevolent experiments like that Of

provided with the apparatus shown in
the illustration. No one would think
of wearing one of the bulky life pre-
servers usually provided on shipboard
all the time, but here is an apparatus
which will answer the same purpose,
and yet without discomfort when con-
stantly worn. The spiral form which
the tube is given enable the wearer to
suspend it around his body by means
Of the supporting jacket, beneath the
outer clothing, and it takes but short
time to initiate the reservoir through
the mouthpiece, which is provided with
a valve to check the outward flow of
the air. The spiral coils lie fiat when
debated, and are scarcely perceptible
to the wearer, who, even If the device
rendered him slightly uncomfortable,
would have the feeling of safety to
counterbalance the annoyance.

KINGS ARE COMMON.
In the Creek Country Alone There Are
Twenty-Five.

Kings are very common IN the In
dian Territory. In fact, they are so
common that no attention is paid to
them and their movements excite no
comment whatever. In the Creek
country alone there are twenty-five
real live kings. Nero Drew Is fair
sample of them. Each one has king
dom to look after and it keeps him
busy doing it.
The title does not descend from
father to son as it does in the effete
European monarchs. The Indians elect
their own kings The tenure of office
is two years. However, whenever an
Indian is chosen king and serves his
people well he is usually reelected
without opposition. Some of the old
kings in the Creek nation have been
ut the head of their kingdoms for forty
years or more Nero Drew has been
Il king for thirty-siX years.
The Creek nation Is divided into
twenty-five towns. which is about the
same as a township in the States.
Each town has king, whose duty it
is to look after the Indians of his
town. He has no power to spend their
money or to command them to do any
thing. His powers are somewhat pater-
nal He looks after the sick and sees
that they have medical attention. He

Indian kings are not very well COM
pensated. They get no salary. The
only possible show they have of get
ting any money out of the office Is
through booding at elections In this
respect the Indians are not behind the
times. They Doodle the same as other
people. Elections sometimes come high
to the candidates. Town kings are
usually quite influential among the
people of their kingdom and they com.
mand fairly good price for their in
fluence at elections. Most of them are

New Headache Cure.-TO those who
suffer with violent headaches. and es-

put it in piece of fine linen. then fold
over so the grains will not fall out and
wet the whole bandage with camphor.
Place it across the head and lie down

in doses of five to twenty drops thrice
daily in wine or black coffee rs a We

non-toXic and is not injurious to the
digestive organs. The appetite will
likely improve under the use of this
remedy. Annoying night-sweats are
relieved. the cough Quieted and fever
reduced. Ichthyol may be rec )mmend-
ed as an efficient substitute for creo-
sote and its derivatives in the treat
ment of pulmonary tuberculosis.

CANNON BALLS WE'RE GOLD.
They Were USED in India to Repel ar

=
Invading Army.
Not long ago an old peasant was
wandering in the jungle about half a
mile from the city of Ahmadnagar, in
India, when he found Il round ball
of metal 1t was black and looked
like an old iron round shot, but when
the old man lifted it he was struck
with it's immense weight. He carried
it home and found on scratching it.,
that it was a lump of solid gold. 1t
weighed eight pounds and its sale
made the finder rich for life.
There are many more of these can
non balls, each worth a small fortune,
lying hid or buried in the recesses Of
this jungle and their story is curious
one. At the end of the sixteenth CEN
tuly Akbar, the greatest emperor Hin
doostun ever saw. was at the height
of his glory At the head of his con-
Quering army he summoned Ahmad-
magyar to surrender. The city and its

bitter rage against the oppressor, she
caused all the treasure of gold and
silver to be melted down. She cast
the metal into cannon balls and en-
graved upon each maledictiOns against
the conqueror. These were fired into
the jungle and when Akbar entered
the city, instead Of the rich hoard he
had hoped to win, he found treasury
absolutely empty.
That this is not the only occasion
upon which cannon balls of gold have
been cast is proved by the fact that
in the treasury of the Shah of Persia
there may be seen, in the same room
where stands the famous peacock
throne. two small globular projectles
of gold They were estimated by a
recent visitor to weigh about 81 pounds
each and are very roughly made.
Their origin or purpose is, however,
totally forgotten. 1t is only known
that they are very old.
