DESTROYED BY CHEMICALS.
Weapons Used by Assassins Against
Royal Personaqes.

weapons USED by RSSaSStnS Against
Royal Personages.
Very few people are aware that as
soon as the trial of an assa ssin of
royalty is concluded the weapon with
which he accomplished his crime is
carefully destroyed so that no trace of
1t remains
The reason OF this is twofold-first
of all, the possibility exists that at
some time or other the weapons used
in royal tragedy may be exhibited 70
the public in some museum or show.
and. second. there Is a strange super
stitlous dread existing among reignlng
houses that the existence Of the inno-
cent but unhallowed weapons by
which rulers have been dispatched to
eternity Is fraught with peril to their
descendants
The method Of destroying these
weapons is n curious one. The wooden
portions. such as the stocks of pistols
or the handles Of poinards. are burned,
and the metal portions are eaten away
in bath of nitric acid
This has been the custom ever since
the attempted assassination OF Queen
Isabella OF Spain in 1852 by Merlus
Prior to that date the metal work of
firearms or knives was ground or filed
away, but the blade of the dagger with
which Merius sought to execute his
dastardly crime proved to be of such
exquisite temper and hardness that il
resisted both file and grindStone.
This became known to the populace,
and the superStitious Spaniards belev
ed that Merius had invested his weap-
on with magical qualities. To divest
them of this absurd belief the authori,
ties had the weapon destroyed by i'm
mersing it in chemicals. rule that
has been followed ever since

Eiah Class Suicide.

In China suicide has been fine art
for several centuries. II u mandarin is
guilty of misconduct he is requested
to put himself out of the land of the
living. There is a distinction, too, in
the manner in which the oriental may
die. If he is of exalted rank and enti.
tied to wear the peacock feather he is
privileged to choke himself to death
with gold leaf. This is regarded as Il
distinguished manner of ending life
If the mandarin is only of the rank
that is entitled to wear the red button
he must be content with strangling
himself with silken cord. Such are
the distinctions of caste.

CUT OUT BABY's APPENDIX.

DETROIT, Dec. 1O.-At Grace
Hospital one of the leading sur
geons successfully operated on a
six months old baby for appendi-
citis. No time could be lost, for
the child's condition was critical.
The wee patient was Ralph, son of
Frank Thorne, who was crying all
day, and the family physician dag
nosed the trouble as appendicitis.
The surgeons decided not to await
daylight, but to work under electric
light. The appendix was found to
be greatly inflamed and six inches
in length, the size of an adult S.
Il am inclined to feel that in many
cases where children are supposed
to be suffering from colds and other
troubles, often fatal, they really are
victims of trouble about the appen-
dix and might be saved" said the
operating surgeon.
