There Is little exposition to crltkisr the estimates until Mr. Droderlck ha explained them in th- House' of Common?. The Itad.-als are Inclined to protest against na annual army budi:-t of nearly jL2j.o-oo1 as distinct from sp e lal war requlr-ments. The Kerru-r.il opinion Is that the modest additional demands cannot mean really adequate army rr;;anlzation and leform. Apparently more attention is heir.: pi 11 to Inceaslng tin ifleiency of th auxiliary torcet--, especially tin- yeomanry and volunteers, than to the regulars. As then are almost certain to be some suppler. '.entary estimates before the year Is ended the military expenditures will probably exce-e-d those of the expiring year. Tho estimates provide for the maintenance of the full strength of the present forces in South Africa until the end of July.

A young woman In this city ha called upon .urgleal skill to have removed from her arm m e dies, pins und other small artlch that have, elurlng the past few days, worked their way to the surface, and the point that Is causing all tho cnJ dure is how they got Into the arm. She Is the daughter of Mr. John Turn r. Sho 1 about nineteen years old. Saturday morning Mis Turner'calkd at th ol!le of Drs. Newcomer & Dick and complained of the Korem-ss of her arm between the elbow and shoulele-r. The physicians made an Investigation and remove-d a needle. The pain wa nt alleviated, und Monday mornlnir Miss Turner returned. Two needle wer' takea out. In the evening she went back and six more were removed. A hair pin and the tooth of a comb were also taken from the arm. Sine? that time the girl's rather has removed a brass pin, and there are Indication that all of the articles beneath tho surface are not yet removed. Tit' young woman cannot throw any light on tlie manner in which th? artlcb-s found re sting" place In her arm. nor can her parents solve the mystery. It Is possible that they might .have been swallowed when she was a small child. This theory brings up tin question as to bow they passed from the stomach to t ho arm, and why all of thrtn should work out on tho same portion of tho body. mtti.i. iti: Mtitp.st im.
