For obvious reasons it was nat ural that the Spanish police should be anxious to sscure the bomb which did not explode when thrown at the royal couple. There was a reason behind the desire to nip iu the bud chance of further damage. There Is an unwritten law in the reigning bouses of Europe, says tho London Standard, that all relics of attempts upon royal lives, as well as the in struments used for treating the wounds caused in such attempts, shall be destroyed. There was a solemn assembly in Geneva of Aus tro- Hungarian officials to witness tho destruction of the instruments which caussd the death of the Em press Elizabeth and of the surgical post-mortem examination. The custom is based to a certain, extent upon superstition, but more solidly upon the determination to prevent the relics from darling luto the hr.nds of exhibitors of such tragic trifles. The custom in this matter orr.-e was to grind to pieces the weapon which had been employed. When, however, the dagger was secured with which the prir.tt Martin Merino attempted to murder Queen Isabella of Spain, rather more than half a ceniury ago, the blade was found to be of such finely tempered steel that it resisted every effort of file and stone. Something like a panic was caused when the news got abroad; the Spanish peasants imagined that there must be magic in the blade. So a cabinet was specially summoned to deal with the crisis, and it was determined to submit the steel to the influence ot acids. This proving J successful, all implements used for the like foul purpose have under gone tho like treatment?knives, swords, daggers, revolvers and, pre sumably, bombs. It was cruel irony that the bonvis thrown at the young king and queen 31 Spain should be hurled by a man Ecreted in the only bouse in Mad rid owned by Queen Christina. This, at first sight, Is surprising. Napo leon IU., in the terror which Orsim's attempt, inspired, bid for safety by buying up the houses fflcimr the Tuileides, so that bombs should not i be Hung thence '>y bis enemies. It is from places whose po^itipa should guarantee their safety that danger eomea. Only a miracle pre a-eiited Alexander II. from being blown to atoms in bis own winter palace.

A new idea in cheese cutters for use in grocery stores has been pat ented by an Indiana man. In the majority of cheese cutters fit pre sent employed the cutting blade ex tends the entire width of the cheese on the cutter. The operator is thus OUTS ANY SIZE SLIOF. compelled lo cut. the length of Lhe cho^se, and where the quantity ro . quired is smail the cut is naturally c very thin. This objection is overcome i'i the . cutter shown here, as the cutting knife extends only one-half the v idf.ii t of the cheese. The top of the table moves freely, the knife being slatton I ary and pivotal to a frame at i be t ha'-!:. An arrangement for Isdicat - ing the si7,e of the cut is secured to the front of the table. The ease I with which a pound or two of cheese ! can be sliced off will be apparent at - oiue. In fact, the dividing mechan ism is so accurate that, it Is un necessary to re weigh the cut, as is generally done. Cost!}* Wallpaper Design.
