Maklsg • Victoria Cross.
Ever since the Victoria cross wns
instituted by Queen Victoria at the
end of the Crimean war the making of
the medals has been In the hands of
the same firm. The ordinary medal Is
' made from a steel die, being slam; ed
ami completed in the same process.
But the metal from which the Victoria
‘crosses are made is so hard-that no
die would stand it without breaking
It is well known that the first crosses
were made from captured Russian
guns, but now the materials come from
guns taken from the Chinese. With
an order for the cross Is sent a supply
of the metal.
First a rough cast of the cross is
made, and this lias to be filed, drilled
and chased. The chasing occupies the
attention of a skilled urtisan for man.',
hours. The bar is a separate casting
and is also chased. The authorities
are most careful to see that none o.
the metal is wasted. It is most care
fully served out, and if any is left over
from one lot of crosses it is used u_-
before a fresh supply can be obtained

“George, R. I.” (Rex, Imperator—King
Emperor); Sir Edward Grey signed ul

his signature to diplomatic notes as

bo a profound flattery implied in the
custom. It assumes that the signer
cannot be mistaken; that there is only
one “George,” and “Grey,” one “Bry

“Arsenic, as science has long told us
Is an accumulative poison,” said a
druggist. “When one takes It either by
prescription for tlie upbuilding of an
appetite or for tlie bleaching of the
skin he does not feel any ill effects for
several years. The effect of the drug
Is bracing and makes a person feel
like eating. It also aids the digestion
The average user of the poison takes
it In such small quantities that he does
not realize how much of It will ac
cumulate in his system in the course
of four or five years.
“Being an accumulative poison, it
often takes that length of time to see
the results of tlie drug. Then the user
may complain of not being able to con
trol bis fingers or toes. Subsequently
he loses control of his hands and arms
Paralysis, superinduced by arsenical
poisoning, is tlie fearful result"
Many years ago, at tlie beginning of
November, a missive bearing the St
Albans postmark readied St. Martin’s.
The envelope was addressed “lud mar
lunding.” Neither tail nor head could
be made out of this by the staff, so the
envelope was opened for a clew. The
letter read, “kenyobiauosfoyosho bll
igs.”
The practiced St. Martin's decipherer
of puzzles promptly made out the sig
nature ns “Bill Illggs.” With the key
tills afforded the rest was deliciously
easy. Tlie message was, “Can you
buy a horse for your show?" and “lud
mar" meant "lord mayor.” So the let
ter, with an official translation consid
erately appended, was delivered to the
lord mayor elect.—London Mail.
