HAND cReNADrs OF ,sf..
Old Time Ordnance Found at Fort Nc.
Henry-<Howt They Were Used.

While examining the contents Of
the ordnance storehouse at Fort Nc
Henry Lieut.. J. l., Holcombe,. of the
One Hundred and Twenty.eighth coast
artillery discovered several boxes of
old hand grenades which are supposed
to be more than "a hundred years old,
says the Baltimore American. The
missiles are Of the earliest make used
by the United States. government. and
were probably PLACED at the historic
old fort when It was first erected in
1872. Owing to- the way In which they
were packed the grenades had only
the slightest trace OF rust upon them
The discovery or the weapons recalls
bit of the ancient history OF the
country. In explaining their use Lieut.
= Holcombe saidat that the grenades wore
handled only by the grenadiers OF the
ship, who, walking out upon the yard
arms of the old fashioned fighting YES
sells threw them into the ranks 81 the
enemy. An explosion followed which
created havoc. They weigh about
four pounds and are shaped after the
fashion Of the bombs used by .anar.
chists, and are iron and loaded with
gunpowder. rg

Story Of the Introduction Of Rabbits
Into Australia. .,.s -

Australia wants population, but 1t
wants men and womens not rabbits.
The British Australian tells the story
Of the coming Of the, rabbit. IN re-
sponse to certain sporting men OF
Victoria, who wanted something fresh
to kill. Manning Thatcher made three
attempts to bring rabbits from Eng,
land. When ne succeeded at last the
sportsfnen' had forgotten their want.
They were probably shooting the
moon. Mr.. Thatcher could not dispose
Of his wares So on zone hot after
noon he and his .compahions, left
with a. considerable burden OF unsold
wares on their hsndsa suddenly dc
cided to rid themselves once and fpr
all of the creatures, which had by this
time reached the dimensions Of white
elephants" The rabbits were turned
loose. They remembered the injunc-
ton to be fruitful and multiply. They
did it. And they devastated Aus
tralia. Mr.. Thatcher was given a
medal to commemorate the gratitude
Of Victorians for his introduction OF
rabbits. And now Australia is excited
over a French poison that will kill
nothing but rabbits! r.--s 81.

THE TRAGEDIES OF PARIS.
Record Of the seamy Side Of the Gay
French Capital.

From 1000 to 1900 bodies are re-
ceived in the morgue In Paris every
year. These represent suicides and
murders, and not the deaths that &C.
cur in the ordinary course Of events.
And Of these self.slaughterers nearly
half are drownings, which means that
every day at least two persons jump
into the Seine; two poor wretches
who have failed to find life worth liv.
ing. In the months OF October and
November suicides by drowning In
Paris are, double what they are the
remainder Of the year. The prospect
Iof having to suffer the hardships Of
another winter, begging about in the
scold and sleeping out in the snow, Is
too much for many fate-cursed wan.
,derer. An interesting fact. revealed
by the suicide statistics Of Paris is
that women show decided dislike to
drowning as a means Of violent death.
Four times as many men as women
are fished out of the Seine. The rec.
fords show that asphyxiation is the To-
syorite way with the weaker sex "for
shutting OF this mortal COIL" when II

4 Great CITY ls Great solitude.

i But little >do men perceive what
solitude is, and how far it extendeth;
for crowd is not company. and faces
are but gallery of pictures. and talk
but a tinkling cymbal. where there Is
no love. The Latin adage meeteth It
a little: magma civitas, magma soil
tude; because in a great town friends
are scattered. so that there Is not that
fellowship for. the most part which Is
In less neighborhoods; but we may go
further and affirm most truly that 1t is
a mere and miserable solitude to want
true friends. without which, the world
Is but a wilderness; and even in this
sense also of solitude, whatsoever in
the frame Of hts-nature and affections
is unfit for friendship, he, taketh it OF
