Meddling with rifle cartridges is an extremely dangerous practice (.the Dunedin Star reminds the public). It is stated that in Dunedin recently an eight-year-old boy arrived home from school, the proud possessor of a .303 rifle cartridge. His mother at once deprived him of the thing, and hid it. The boy discovered the hid-ing-place, removed the cartridge to the backyard, and exploded it with the help of a tomahawk. He is now in a private hospital recovering trim the injuries he . received through a part of the bullet lodging in his neck.
