"a FREAK OF NATURE Under

following item Of peculiarly inter.
esting nature:
Last Sunday at the Dane county
pooT-house, German girl gave bir'b
to an iliegitimate child that is cou-
siderable Of curiosity. Before tbp
child was born the girl was at wo,k
for family near Elgerton One
day some boys came IN where she
was and threw q llrgc mud-turtl~
down at her feet. Never having s .eu
anything Of the kind before, she ws,
terribly frightened. As result oi
the fright the infant has a perfec,
body OF q female with the exception
Of the hahds, feet and head, which
are similar TO the head aud claws Of
turtle. The head, which is Of ord
nary size, slopes backward aud the
eyes are set on top, aud when touch
ed on the head viii snap at person

hungriest turtle 10 the land. Since
its birth it has never made a sound.
but will flop over on its back and
saw the air with all fouls, throwing
the front members over the head iu
exact imitation Of the animal it re
sembles. The mother came over from
Germany last spring, and strange as
it may seem, the child nurses, is d..
ing we'll aud viii undoubtedly live.
This Is case that will undoubtelly
prove o. interest to the medical fra
ternity, and if Baraum gets wind Of
il, there is a chance for the unior-
itunate parent to make her fortune.

AMONG accountsof narrow escapes
at the terrible Newhall House fire,
given in Saturdays Milwaukee Sen.
tiae', we find the following ezper-
ience Of Charles Tramei, son of
Mineral Point, and we'll known by
most of as:
"Charles Tramel Of Chicago, who
sustained slight injuries and escaped
miraculously from a frightful fate,
left the Kirby House yesterday at
ternoon for his home He came to
this city Tuesday intending to spend
the night at the Plaukington House.
As the NewhalI was nearer To the
depot and he had business on Wis
consin street, he left his valise az
the burned house, thinking he would
take it 30 the Plaukiugton after sup.
per. Not feeling very we'll at sup
per-time, he decided TO remain at
the Newhall. Tn room assigned
him was on the fourth fl or, two
do rs from the elevator He ha
never been at the hotel before and
took no nOtire OF his surroundings
on entering his room lie slept very
soundly, aud on waking suddenly
beheld the flames pouring through
h transom and licking the ceilng
Of his apartment. The smoke was
sitting lie rushed to thr door and
gazed out into a sea of flames. The
raging of the burning mass and the
cries of the terrified inmates filled
the air with an awful din. The con.
fusion was appalling and his knowl
edge of direction was slight. In a
fit Of desperation he dashed forward
1t seemed to him rs though the
building were rocking TO and fro
and, overcome wi h a sense Of dizzi
ness and prostration, he fell pros
trajo to the swaying floor. For az
instant ali was a blank, and then
he felt himself being horne rapidly
forward and downward. When he
recovered from the fit he was in tie
hallway below, from whence, regain.
ing his power to move, he reached
the street. Some brave person had
carried him from his dangerous po-
sition He lost his clothing, yalise,
diamond stud, and S75 in money"

The Madison correspondent of the Nil
