RISKED HIS LIFE. American Marksmanship Shown fn n fitnry About ( rt'»;(io. In Collier's Weekly are wniic anecdotes of tho late president'of Venezuela. Or.e runs : Another little incident that occurred during tho winter of issxi showed Cres|«»'s thirst for notoriety and theatrical display Shortly after the episode with Great Urit ; ain there eanie to Caracas a traveiitifr American variety company. Among the jjerforniers was a young woman who did marvelous fancy shoot inft with a rille. Tho news of the fair American's prowess soon reached the ears of the president, who in vited her to give a private exhibition at Santa Inez. She and her manager were not slow in accepting, and they reached the executive mansion one bright Sunday morning. After the usual stock variety performance a number of glai>s balls we; smashed with the rille in every imaginable 1 position. Crespo was amazed, and, turn ing to the young woman, said, "Do you think you count hit one of those ' :.ils if I placed it on tho top of my head?" "I should esteem it the honor of uiy life, Senor President®," she gallantly re plied. Mrs. Cresjio and tho entire cabinet wero present and endeavored to persuade the president not. to do anything so foolhardy It was all in vain, however, for, removing his hat and placing one of the glass balls upon his head, Crispo turned to the by standers and said dramatically, " The United States has 'jeeu the friend of Vene zuela, and I wil' show -iy confidence in the aim of an A .nerican." The presidei C of Venezuela then took position across the courtyard, and from a distance of 75 feet the young woman ; smashed the target at the first shot, ard ! Crespo brushed away the fragments with his handkerchief. The next day the little incident was the talk of Caracas, and many were thecriti | cisms heard of the president's lack of dig- I nity. The young markswomau and her i manager were quick to realize the great advertisement, however, and after leaving j Venezuela they announced the episode in display type. They even went so far as to | say that the revolutionists had offered tho woman 3100,000 to accidentally tniss her target and place a bullet in the forehead of the president, knowing well that Cres po's bravado would make him suggest her attempting the shot. A BLACK EYE. Tb« Proprr Way to Treat This rn«lj>tlj and I'll welcome Disfigurement. A black eye is simply a bruise, a black and blue spot, of the eyelids and the parts | underneath the orbit. All these tissues being very loose and spongelike in texture, I the blood which escapes beneath the skill j in all cases of bruising and constitutes tho black and blue mark spreads very widely I and causes great disfigurement. Sometimes, if the injury has been se vere, there will be an escape of blood be neath the membrane covering the eyeball, but the eyeball itself usually escapes seri- I ous damage owing to its elasticity and to tho eflicient protection afforded by tho j bony ring forming the edges of the orbit. A short time after the injury has been j received swelling of the part sets in, the i skin is reddened and hot, and there is feeling of tension, if not more or less ae ! tual pain. This is tho time to treat the bruise in order to prevent as far as possible i the format ion of the "black eye." If nothing is done, the discoloration soon appears, first of a dark reddish pur i pie color, and then almost black; later it | fades off with a play of colors, green, blue and yellow, until gradually all traces of the accident disappear. The first thing to do, and that as soon as possible, is to apply cooling lotions to tho part. A good way to do this is to keep two small handkerchiefs in a bowl of ice | water and apply them alternately, squeezed • dry and folded four ply. As soon as one handkerchief grows warm, it should be re placed by the other. By tho end of the first day the cold ap plications will have done all the good they can, and then handkerchiefs wrung out of very hot water, in which borax or boric acid has been dissolved, should be applied and changed every minute or two. At the game time the discolored part may be stroked gently with the finger for 10 or 16 minutes at a time every two or three hours. This is a tedious process, but it will shorten the sufferer's period of em barrassment by three or lour days if per severed in.—Youth's Companion. "PresH the Hutton." A feature of the modern gun will doubt less be its accuracy of aim, says Professor Ira N. Hollis in The Atlantic. The guns of the first monitor had the ordinary sights, and the men had to look out through the portholes of a revolving tur ret to find the enemy. We might say they often fired "on the wing" with very in definite notions of the range and the brief est instant for training tho guns. The lowa's turrets have small boxes projecting above tho covers for lookouts. Horizontal slits arc cut near the tops of these boxes, giving a view around the horizon. The guns themselves are aimed by means of cross hairs in telescopes and fired by electric buttons which are instantane ous in their action. Once the cross hair is on the object, tho projectile may be sent; on its way at a velocity of 2,000 feet a sec ond before the roll of the ship has time to impair its accuracy. The range is found by means of instruments set tip as far apart as possible, which make the ship the buse line of a triangle having the target for its apex. In case of failure of the in struments the range may bo found by trial of the rapid lire guns, which deliver from 0 to SO shots a minute. luiigiinli Women's Mines. It is funny about English women's shoes. They never have anything but sensible llat heels for walking, but when it comes to a dancing slipper no French heel is too high for them. But they keep a great variety of footgear and are prepared for any occasion. Thus Lady Erniyntrude Russell, when she married Sir Edward Malet, included no less than 1,000 pairs of boots, shoes and slippers in her trousseau. This was an unusual supply, however. It created no end of amusement and scandal, according to the point of view, and it was accorded prominence in a biography of the embassador which appeared in one of the London society papers about that time.— San Francisco Argonaut.
