Just year old, robust and healthy, with a
splendid head and fine pair Of

sualy bright and intelligent. He
Is perfectly formed except as to
arms and legs. Legs he has none, what
ever. His arms are developed to half
an inch below the elbow, the elbow
dimplo being plainly visible near the
edd. They terminate in smooth,
round end, on one of which there is a
warty looking growth, evidently an at
tempt of nature to form finger. The
little fellow has remarkably good use OF
himself, and seems as light-hearteG and
happy as a bird. With the stubs
Of arms he can turn chicken-bone
about in his mouth till the meat Ia
CLEANED from it. II a small coin is placed
upon tho floor. he will roll himself to it,
and pick 1t up in his mouth with the
greatest dexterity. The parents are
rather sensitive concerning their chld's

that they will never consent to place
him upon exhibition, though they have
already received several tempting offers.

The music that haunts the sea z
II you care for our advice, Katharine,
we say, don't do it. II You love the
music that haunts the sea shut up in
the shimmering cells of an ocean
pearl, you keep It there. Don't let it
out for anything. You hold on to it for
rise. And the rise viii come. il you're
pretty bad sailor, about the time you
pass outside of Sunday Hook. A per-
son who has the music that haunts the
sea shat up in the shimmering cells Of
an ocean pearl owes a solemn
duty to humanity to keep it
there. II is awful music. We heard II
once when il was shut up. to certain
extent, in the shimmering cells ol
an after stateroom, close over the
screw, and we never want ta bear il
again. 1t was dreadful. And il
Katharine has really any thought Of
setting it free, now that she has il
shu. up in shimmering cells, the people
who are thinking Of going to Eurort
next summer ought TO form a syndicate
and buy the pearl Of her, and then de
posit 1t in Newark bank where nobody
