Rran Reds for the Babies,

A French doctor has invented new
bed for babies which holds them safe III
its custody and prevents them from ever
giving any trouble at night to their at
PENDANTS This gentleman has subject
ed his system to the most trying OF al
tests, for he has applied it to all his own
children, and considers that the life OF
one of them is entirely owing to It's use.
The idea is to fill the greater part OF The
cradle with bran and immerse the legs
and part of the body of the child in this
nest, covering them over i'll the usual
way, but fastening down the counter
pane tight so as to keep him firm IN hlS
place. Why this change OF tactics
should have the effect OF taking away
from the infant his usual desire to howl
during part of every night is ques-
ton which we will leave nurses to eN-
plain for themselves after they have
tried the system. In the mean time,
until that trial has been made, it is only
civil to believe the testimony of Drs.
Bourgeois and Vigoureux, who, in two
French papers of some authority, de-
clare that such is the invariablc result.
This is not, however, the only advan-
tage to be expected from the system.
The bran is supposed to havea warming
and stimulating influence superior to
any sort of cotton or cloth, and to allow
children of the more sicllly kind to de-
velop more quickly and be sooner able
te use their limbs. The inventor of the
system declares that they delight in
their bran beds, and always ''qtit
them with regret when renewed. at the
age of 2, to one of different kind

BUILDING AN ARK.
Il Crank in Pennsylvania Prepar'
Ing ser AEotEaer Eject.

"A crank In feWHSyiV0nIa FTepaf.
ing GER Another Flood.
For several weeks past the curiosity
of passengers on the Allegheny Valley
railroad has been excited by curious
contrivance in course of construction
on the bank Of the Allegheny river,
near Pine creek, station between
Pittsburgh and Red Bank. An Oil
City Derrick reporter has been down
TO look into it," He says John L.
Randolph, the name of the genius who
is building the ark, or life-saving
ship" as he terms it, is a man well
advanced in life. His locks are gray,
his form bent and decrepit, and his
eyes have strange look, which plain
~ indicates that he is, to use common
and vulgar expression, a little off his
base.n This ark hallucinatiOn took
possession Of his faculties about three
months ago. During long and heavy
rain storm he conceived the idea that
the world was soon to be visited by a
terrible food like unto that of Noah'S
time, anti simultaneous With this the
came the one OF building his ark. He
brO0ded over the thing tor some days,
ami i'll spite of all the scOifing of his
friends auu relatives, be decided 10
commence the building of an enor-
NOUS bCa modelling after the antigua
ted concern of good old Noah as much
as possible. The dimensions of the
" fioater" are 22S feet in length by Is
feet wide 1t will he is feet high, and
will draw feet, 6 inches OF water. Its
capacity Will be 100 tons There will
be Two decks, IAN upper and lower. The
lower deck will be divided off in
to innumerable compartments, which
will contain all the species of domestic
and wild animals that the crank can
procure, in pairs, between the time of
The completion of the " Ark and the
advent OF the flood, which he has set
down on his LOG book for October
l8th of this year. The upper deck will
be for humanity, and the projectors
aim will be to have all the different
races represented. His next aim will
be to have all the trades and profess
sions represented, especially the news
paper. Randolph is giving the con-
struction of the sloop his personal at
tention. The first deck is we'll under
way, and he confidently expects to
have itin readiness for the grand finale
by the first of September.

els the difference in temperament be-
tween fat curiosities and living skele-
tons so great as their physical contrast?"
Yes, quite; for while fat boys and
fat girls are extremely good-natured
and soclable, and generous to fault,
the skeletons are an aggrieved, melan-
choly, peevish and saving lot. They
avoid making acquaintance in order to
be able to hoard their earnings and get
cut of the business as soon as possible
A living skeleton is extremely difficult
to get along with, because he always
considers himself the most attractive Gu
riosity in the show and is constantly
making demands accordingly. Most of
them have come from Massachusetts,,
where they were rural school-teachers
and shopkeepers. They are usually
well-cducated and ready with their
tongue, especially when it comes to
talking about politics. Indeed, to talk
politics is their special hobby and
amusement, and with these discussions
and reading they spend most of their
time. Despite their thinness, they eat
about as much as ordinary folks"
The Circassian women resemble Or
dinarv persons more than other curiosi-
ties How do they amuse themselves"
"Well,n the manager said. after a
little hesitation, ''r tellyo something.
There are no Circassian women in this
country. Those called Circassans are
simply pretty and shapely women who
| have married side-show managers or
members of the troupe. They soak their
| hair i'll sour beer and then pose as Cir
cassians. Of course, a good deal OF
their time during off hours is spent in
! arranging their hair; the rest OF the
! time they spend like ordinary persons. "
"And the double-headed WOnian?''
s'She is the most charming of them
all. She has had liberal education,
and has travelled extensively. Having
| kept four eyes open during her travels,
and looked about with Intelligent appre-
citation, she can converse in a very lively
| and engaging manner. She was born q
| slave on plantation in North Carolina
| But the owner of the plantation took 9
fancy to her and had her educated with
his son. Some time ago she was en-
abicd to buy the place, and now, when
she is not on exhibition, she lives on the
plantation, where she cares for hcl
| father aud other members of her family
She has many friends, and, as she
speaks French, Spanish, and German
she enjoys the society of foreigners as
we'll as that of her own cOuntrymen
She receives thirty or forty letters g
day
''Do curiosities generally earn mucl
money!"
Some have very large salaries. Th'
two-headed woman gets 5000 q week
Captain and Mrs. Bates, $500. Single
giants, if well-known, get all the way
from &l0O to 5000 Fat boys, unless
very famous, rarely command more
than $50, while the salaries OF dwarf
