WEAPONS ARE DESTROYED.
An CnNritten Law, Based on Super
stition, Of EuYal Houses.

For 3bvious reasons it WAS nat
ural that the Spanish police should
be anxious 10 secure the bomb which
did not explode when thrown at the
royal couple. There was reason
behind the desire to nip in the bud
chance Of further damage. There
IS an unwritteE Law in the reixnins
houses OF Europe. SAYS the London
Standard. that all relics OF attempts
upon royal lives, as we'll as the in
struments used for treating the
wounds caused In such attempts,
shall be destroyed There was
solemn assembly in Geneva OF Aus
tro- hungarian officials to witness
the destruction OF tho Instruments
which caused the death of the En-
press Elizabeth and Of the surgical
post-mortem examination
The custom is based to a certain
extent upon superstition. bat more
solidly upon the determination
to prevent the relics from falling
into the hands OF exhibitors OF such
tragic trihes.
The custom in this matter once
was to grind to pieces the weapon
which had been employed. When,
however, the dagger was secured
with which the priest Martin Merinc
attempted to murder Queen Isabella
Of Spain, rather more than half a
century ago. the blade was found to
be OF such finely tempered steel that
1t resisted every effort Of file and
stone.
Something like q panic was caused
when the news got abroad: the
Spanish peasants imagined that
there must be magic in the blade.
So cabinet Was specially summoned
to deal with the crisis, and it was
determined to submit the steel TO
the influence OF acids. This proving
successful, al implements used for
the like foul purpose have UNDER
gone the like treatment-Rnives
swords. daggsrs. Ievolvers and. pre-
sumably, bombs.
1t was cruel irony that the bombs
thrown at the young king and queen
Of Spain should be hurled-b; man
secreted In the only house in Mad
rid owned by Queen Christina This,
at first sight, is surprising. Napo-
leon III, IA the terror which OTsim 8
attempt inspired, bid for safety by
buying up the houses facing the
Tuileries, SO that bombs SHOULD nc.
be flung thence By his enemies.
1t is from places whose position
should guarantee their safety that
danger comes. Only miracle pre-
vented Alexander II. from being
blown to atoms IN MS own winter
palace. The Grand Duke Serge was
assassinated outside the law courts
at St. Petersburg; Gen. BobrikoF
was slain when entering the senate:
N. Plehve was struck dead with his
secret police all around him; the
king and queen Of Seryia per.sned
IN their own palace.

cheese, aud where the quantity re-
uiired is small the cut IS naturally
very thin.
This objection is overcome in the
cutter shown here, az the cutting
knife extends only one-half the width
of the cheese. The top of the table
moves freely, the knife being station
ary and pivotal to a frame at the
back. An arrangement for indicat-
Ing the size Of the cut IS secured to
the front Of the table. The ease
with which pound or two Of cheese

necessary to reweigh the cut, as is
generally done.

Nllerc Brick Ovens Are Used.

IN Canada the eTencn settlers SUI:
continue to use large brick ovens
out Of doors such as were built in
France ESQ years ago. The perfec-
zion of the stove and range in the
last fifty years has driven many oF
these ovens out Of commission, but
many Of the Inhabitants think thai
no good baking can be done in an,
other oven. It's use is simple. :
fire is made In the oven of good hard
wood and when the oven is exceed
ingly hot the ashes are raked Out
and the large loaTes ready to bake
