The Victims of EnuIand.

If the king of England were to re-
nounce the throne and resolve to be-
come an ordinary citizen he would be
called George Victim. How does the
name Victim come to be the kings
surname? This is the answer;
Queen Victoria married Albert, duke
OF SAKE Coburg Gotha. Of the senior
branch OF the house OF Saxony. The
family name by which this house, dat
ing from the middle OF the tenth cen
tury, came 20 be known afterward was
Victim, and this was and is the sur
name Of both branches--the Ernestine
and Albertine-of the house Of Saxony.
The name comes from the castle of
Victim. near Magdeburg, which claim
ed Wittekind as the founder of the
race.--London Answers.

own hands in fact-and the edition con-
sisted of exactly twenty five copies,
which were given away. For a year
1t attracted no attention. Then. how.

ROMANCE OF A SHOVEL.
An Idea That Won a Fortune For
Railway Laborer.


The simplest labor saving device may
quite possibly be worth fortune. One
day a good many years ago a number
of men were at work on the roadbed
of a line of railway In course of
construction between Birmingham
and Manchester. They were cutting
through hill and moving the material
by loosening it with picks. shovellng
IL into barrows and wheeling 1t away.
The shovels they were using were
known as Irish shovels. with a square
cornered blade about fifteen inches
long. The work progressed but slow
ly, and the subcontractor in charge re-
buked his workmen for not making
quicker progress. One Of them replied
that If he would grind off the corners
of the shoves it would be easier TO get
them into the earth, and. consequently,
they would be able to work more
quickly.
The contractor ridiculed the idea,
which he considered piece Of inso-
lence on the part Of the workman, but
the navy was quite in earnest and not
easily discouraged. When the work
was completed he discussed the mat
ter with a friend Of his at Sheffield,
who persuaded an ironmonger he knew
to make a dozen or so as an expert
ment. The tools were offered to a
large contractor. who promised to let
some Of his men use the new shoves
and report results.
About a week afterward the con-
tractor returned with the Information
that his men were fairly quarrelng as
to who should use the new tools, some
arriving to work a quarter OF an hour
before time in order to be there first
when the tool box was opened. The
navvy's suggestion had proved good
one. A patent was secured and an
agreement made between the navy
the manufacturer and the contractor
When the navy died he left fortune
of ovef f65 900, the proceeds from roy
alties on the manufacture Of shovels
under his patent.-Pearson's Weekly.

An Odd Incident of War.

In the Philippine portion Of his book
"The Memories of Two Wars" General
Funston tells OF unique instance ut
the siege Of Malabon: Company l. was
firing q few volleys. and one OF the
men. having just discharged his piece,
felt second blow against his shoulder,
1t being almost as hard as the kick of
the gun. Upon trying to reload 1t was
found that the breech Of the piece could
not be opened, and it was laid aside to
be examined by daylight, which was
done in the presence of number of us
officers. Upon forcing the breech open
it was found that the base Of the cop
per shell of the cartridge that had been
fred just before the weapon had been
disabled had been shot away, while
mixed all up In the breech mechanism
we found the remains Of the steel
jacket and the lead flling OF Mauser
bullet. There was very pronounced
dent on the muzzle OF the piece. What
had happened was that while the man
had the gun extended in the firing po-
sition bullet had gone down the mu2'
zle. This weapon is now in the Army
Ordnance museum In Washington"

SPANISH VENGEANCE.
Fate Of a FaithIess Solon In the Reign
of Emperor Charles.

1t was I'm the early days Of the reign
of the Emperor Charles. when the
Spanish people. ever jealous Of their
rights, became infuriated at submis-
sive cortes for voting imperial grants
without obtaining redress for popular
grievances. Tordesillas, the represent
ative of Segovia. being a bold and
naughty man. returned to his native
city to defend his conduct and, ac-
cording 10 custom, summoned his fel.
low townsmen to the church that he
might give an account Of his actions
In the cortes.
But the multitude, infuriated at his
insolence in attempting to justify con-
duct they deemed inexcusable. burst
open the doors of the church and, seiz-
ing Tordesilas. dragged him through
the streets with curses and insults to.
ward the place Of public execution.
The dean and canons came forth
with the holy sacrament to awe the
mob: the monks I'm the monasteries,
by which the luckless deputy was
dragged. prayed on their knees that
his life might be spared or. at least,
that he be allowed time for absolu-
tion; but. without regard for humanity
or religion. they hanged their victim up
head downward on the common gibbet

Chinese Criminal Law,

Curiously like the Mosaic and Ro.

cused confessing and no punishment

DEATHBED SCENES.
And the Question of Prolonging Life to
Its Utmost Limit.

Its Utmost Limit.
Even the lengthening Of mans life
by day may make death easier by
giving him the opportunity of soothing
q guilty conscience, Of signing n will.
of redressing an injustice, Of healing a
breach OF friendship the memory of
which might imbitter another life. Of
saying farewell to a son or daughter
who had come in haste from a great
distance. Any one who has seen death
beds knows how anxieties of this sort
may darken the last hours and how
their removal may reconcile the suffer
er to death. 1t seems to us that this
talk Of the right to die and the wrong
doing of doctors in seeking to prolong
q life that is hanging by a thread
springs from the unwholesome senti-
mentalism and the inevitable accom-
paniment of selfshness which are
among the unhappy notes of the pres
ent time.
To the older writer's the death agony
was the final struggle Of the soul leav-
ing the body, and by n confusion Of
thought due to the acquired meaning
of the word it has come to be general
ly believed that the parting of the spir-
itual from the material part of man is
painful. Those whose lot it has been
to stand at many deathbeds know that
this Is not the case. Sir William Osler
says that he has careful records of
about 600 deathbeds, studied particu-
larly with reference to the modes of
dying and the sensations Of the dying.
or these ninety suffered bodily pain or
distress of one sort or another. eleven
showed mental apprehension, two pos.
tive terror, one expressed spiritual eX-
altation, one bitter remorse. The great
majority gave no sign one way or the
other.-British Medical Journal.

BOSTON HARB0R FR0zE.
But That Didn't Keep the Britannia
From Sailing on Time.

Boston harbor froze over In January
of 1914. and the advertised sailing OF
the Britannia. then In dock. seemed
surely to be impossible. But the mer-
chants Of Boston would not have ii so.
They met and voted to cut way, at
their own expense. through the Ice.
that the steamer might sail practically
on time.
The contract for cutting the neces-
sary channels was given to merchants
engaged. like Frederick Tudor. In the
export of ice. but not ice cut from the
harbor. Their task was to cut within
the space Of three days channel about
ten miles long. For tools they had the
best machinery used In cutting fresh
water ice. and horsepower was en-
ployed. The ice was from six to twelve
inches In thickness.
AS the Advertiser Of Feb. 2, 1874, de-
scribed the scene: "a great many per-
sons have been attracted to our wharfs
TO witness the operations and the curl
Gus spectacle of the whole harbor fro
zen over. and the ice has been covered
by skaters. sleds and even sleighs.
Tents and booths were erected upon
the ice, and some parts OF the harbor
bore the appearance OF Russian holi-
day scene"
On Feb 3 the work was done. and
the Britannia. steaming slowly through
the lane Of open water, lined on either
side by thousands Of cheering specta-
tors, made her way to the sea.

THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
II Has Frequently Expelled Members
Legally Qualified to Sit.

IL has frequently Expelled members
Legally Qualified to Sit.
The assumption made In more than
one daily journal that the house OF
commons cannot expel member who

ranted by precedent, the only authori.
ty TO which the commons bow. says an
English writer.
In the eighteenth century the south
sea bubble caused many expulsions, al
though the members defense had not
been heard in the law courts. One of
the victims was Chancellor of the Ex
chequer Alslabie, credited with having
bagged f250,0O0 from the public. In
addition to expulsion. he was sent to
the Tower and ordered to refund his
booty. An Irish peer was expelled for
directing lottery, while for organic

Giant and Dwarf Honevbees.

In some OF the East Indian islands
and on the mainland Of Hindustan are
to be found the smallest species OF
honeybees in the world. These dwarf
honey collectors are known to en-
tomologists as Apis florea. Their hon
eycombs are no larger than child's
hand, and the cells are about the size
of small pinhead This honey Is ex-
cellent, as is the wax. The little crea-
lures build the comb on the branch OF
low tree, and as they have not to
provide for winter they work all the
year through, raising broods like them
selves. In the same land there Is a
species of giant bees, Apis dorsata, as
large as n field cricket. These mon
sters Of the bee world build honey
combs that are from six to seven feet
in length. four or more in width and
which weigh from 300 to 400 pounds
each.-Harper's
