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.

"Dc weakes' mtis' go ter «le wall," said
Uncle Kbcn, "but quickness an courage
halt lie'pcd many a feller ter climbde wall
no staht ovuh ag'in."—Washington Star
Despite the fragility with which their
sex is credited, the number of British fe
male centenarians greatly exceeds that of
the men. 225 women out of every 1,000,000
reaching the century mark, while only 80
men of the same number out 100 years.
