KraO, the Missing Link.
TLondon Times.

A strange, hairy little creature is now
being exhibited at the Royal aquarium
Westminster, by Mr.. Farini, as ''the miss
ing link" Krao is not in the ordinary ac-
ceptation of the word a monster, but a
very bright looking, intelligent girl of
about seven years of age. She was caught,
according to the account given of her by
Mr.. Farini, in the forest near Laos, and
brought to England by Mr.. Carl Book, d
Norwegian, who, since the expedition de-
scribed by him in ''The Head Hunte RS of
Borneo," has been exploring Siam and tbs
wilder states to the northeast Hearing in
various quarters of the existence of
a race of hairy tailed men, similar in ap-
pearance to family kept at the court of
Mandalay, he offered a reward for the cap
ture of a specimen. A man was caught,
and with him the child now exhibited, and
woman of similar appearancethen allow
ed herself to be taken. When the little
one attempted to wander the parents re-
called her with plaintive cry, ezra o."
and the call has been adopted as her name.
The father died at Laos, of cholera, and the
king refused to let the mother go, but Mr..
Book succeeded in getting the child to

the king of Siam to bring her to this coun-
try. The eyes of the child are large, dark,
and lustrous, the nose fiat
tened, the nostrils scarcely showing, the
cheeks fiat and pouch-like, the lower lip
only rather thicker than is usual in
Europeans; but the chief popularity ap
parent is the strong and abundant hair.
On the head it is black, thick and straight,
and grows over the forehead down to the
heavy eyebrows, and is continued in whis
ker-like locks down the cheeks. The rest
of the face is covered with fine dark,
downy hair, and the shoulders ana arms
have a covering of hairs from an inch to
an inch and half long. There is, it is
said, a slight frightening of the lower YER
tebr@, suggestive of a caudal protuoerance
and there are points in the muscular con
formation and otherwise which will pro
woke discussion. Krao has already picked
up a few words of English. She IL of a

II. E. Thorold Rogers in Notes and Queries. ]
In 1892 Edmund HALEY, the celebrated
astronomer, was consulted by a friend as
to the acreage of England and Wales. His
process was very original. He took the
best map of England which he could get,
cut out the part which represented the
land, weighed it, and compared the weight
with that of an inch taken from the mid
die of the map, the center of which was a
point equidistant from Kings Lynn and
the mouth of the Severn. He found that
the land, with the islands of Wight.
Anglessy and Man, was four times the
weight of his circle. His calculation gave
him 38,660,O0O acres. He then in the
same manner cut out and weighed the sew
eral counties. He found, after carefully
drying the pieces-the humidity of the air
was the great difficulty in his calculation
that 10000 acres weighed grain. The
above note is a singular illustration OF
the manner in which, before proper sur
vey, able mathematician tried to solve
a difficult problem. The actual acreage
is, excluding the Isle of Man, 37,319,221;
and HALEY pleads that he should be Ii
censed to the extent of million acres OF
so, especially as he had to include rivers
and roads.

baltimore Special, 29th. J

The first prisoner publicly whipped IN
der the recent act of the Maryland Iegisla-
ture making it discretionary with the judge
of the criminal court to punish wife beat
ers with the lash, received his sentence in
the city jail to-day. The accused was Ed
ward Foote, light-colored mulatto, whose
first sentence was for thirteen lashes and
sixty days in jail. This was, however, re-
duced to seven lashes by a subsequent de-
cision Of the court. The case was carried
to the court of appeals and the constitu-
tionality of the act sustained. Foote's SEN
tence expired to-day, but at noon he was
brought into the corridor and ordered to
strip to the waist.
Sentence was executed in the main hall
of the jail at noon. Warden Morrison re-
ceived the necessary order from Judge
Phelps, and about twenty-five or thirty
persons had assembled at the hour indi-
Gated to witness the scene. At II o'clock
the warden ordered the prisoner to be
brought from his cell and made ready for
the lash. FOote, who had been in waiting
near the Enclosure. was brought out by
deputy wardens and instructed to strip to
the waist, which he did. After reading the
copy of the docket entries of the court the
officer applied the lash, using a rawhidG
about three feet in length and about one
inch in diameter at the butt, tapering TO
the point. Foote had nerved himself
for the ordeal, and did not offer the
slightest resistance by act or word. Deputy
Sheriff Roseman then, in quick succession.
welded the rawhide, and gave the prisoner
seven lashes across the small OF the back.
The imprint of the lash was preceptible,
but no blood was drawn. While the blows
we're being administered the muscles of
the back twiched convulsively. One of the
wardens said to him, ''You stood it like a
man. The prisoner replied that he did
not mind it much, and as he was going up
the stairs, looked through the railing and
smiled at the crowd below. Blood was OBJ
served coming from the wounds on the
back, and also on the front part of the
bedys which had been sucked up by the
end of the lash, but Foote walked away
smiling.

Cabinet Joke.

At q recent cabinet meeting the presi-

men, am considering the appointments
to the civil-service reform commission
which ought to be made as soon as possible
If you have any names to suggest would
be glad to have them" Nobody spoke for
a moment, and then it is recorded that the
postmaster general said: II suppose
Kellogg, Ketcham and O'Neill ought to
have the places" TIE room shook with
the roar of laughter that this suggestion
evoked, as the heads of the several depart
ments thought of the willy Kellogg, of
Louisiana, the deaf, but determined, Re-
preventative Ketcham, of New York, and
the persuasive and persistent Representa-

talking together, just inside the main en-

that they never talked together before

preached them from behind, and said:

the story. Kellogg and Ketchum laughed,
but O'Neill was angry at what ne thought
was an unjust slur on the part of some
cabinet civil service reformer.

Fashions in Wedding Presents.
lst. Louis Globe-Demoerat

The French husband begins to pay his
brides bills before marriage The bride
groom-elect formerly sent unmade dress
patterns" of rich materials. He now has
to present them already made up. The
brides mother usually furnishes three
gowns, the wedding dress, the travelling
dress, and one other, which is worn at the
family party preceding The wedding, called
the contract party, The future husband
is expected to furnish all the others, the
number varying from four to twelve.
In England the husbands share of we'd
ding preparations includes the house linen,
which is, of course, marked with his family
initial, and not that of the bride. In this
country we follow the coy German Gus
tom, though not, lentirely, for whereas the
fraulein begins to have table-cloths, napery
and sheets made up for her futare wedding
long before any bridegroom makes his ap-
pearance, and in fact while she is still at
her school books, the American girls pur-
chases of house linens are the first indica-
tion that the wedding is near at
hand. There is great deal of
pride and considerable money
to be expended in these daily
and the poorest girl IN this
country much prefers to furnish this part
of her future home stores for herself. If
the husband expects to supply her bridal
wardrobe that is left until after the we'd
ding, but the French fashion is frank
enough, and there can be no deception
about the cost of dressing wife, with
these preliminary bills to pay. But what a
diversity of good taste, or what
is considered good taste, in different coun-
tries these wedding customs show. Though
we take many fashions from France, it is
not likely this will ever or soon be adopt |
ed here.

Competitive Examination a Test Of
Brain POaCer.
IDOo-,lor Science Monthly

The present is an age of competitive
examinations, yet these afford but an i'm
perfect test of brain power; for, after a
time, competitive examinations become
less and less efficient as true tests of intel
lirence, and sink into sort of official
routine. AS examples, we will take the
following cases: Brown is the son of an
Indian officer who died when his boy was
ten years ole, and left his widow badly off.
Young Brown is intended for the Royal
Military academy, Woolwich, but his
mothers means do not enable her to send
him TO a hrst-class "crammer's," so he has
to sit beneath the average school
master. He works hard and thinks a
great deal, and gains fair knowledge of
the subjects he is required to learn. He
goes up to the competitive examination at
Woolwich, and finds each question SO COM
plicated that he is utterly puzzled; and,
when the results of the examination are
made known, Brown is nearly last on the
list.
On the other hand, Smith is the son of
a wealthy tradesman who wishes his son to
enter as a cadet at Woolwich. Young
Smith is sent early in life to a successful
''crammer's,' to be fattened with knowl-
edge as turkeys are crammed for Christ
mas. The crammer does not con-
fine his attention to teaching his
pupils; but he watches the examina-
tion papers set at Woolwich, and
he finds that the examiners have each
a peculiar ''fad," and set their questions in
sort of rotation. He looks carefully
over these, and he forms a kind of estimate
of the questions which are likely to be set
at any particular examination. He there
fore trains his pupils for these questions.
and is often SO successful in his predictions
that at least half the questions have been
worked oat by these pupils week before
the examination, and this result is OBJ
tanned without any COLLISION between the
cranner and examG-ar. On one occasion
that we know of seven questions out of
paper Of thirteen were predicted as due"
and the pupils. consequently, of this cram
mer were most successful at this "con-
petitive" Young Smith is thus trained,
and passes, say fifth, out of long list,
and is considered, as far as this test is con-
cerned, to possess brain-power far beyond
that of the unfortunate Brown, who was
nearly last in this same examination.
Twenty years elapse, and Smith and
Brown meet. Smith has logged on in the
usual routine; he may have never either
said or done foolish thing. Brown, on the
other hand, is man of wide reputation,
has written clever books and done many
clever things; yet people who know his
early history say how strange it was that
he was so stupid when he was young. for
he was ignominiously ssspun" at Woolwich.
Those who thus speak imagine that the

Judgment Rendered Against w. III. Eng
Iish for d Blowers Sa airy and Expenses.
New YORK, Feb. IAN action was
brought over year ago in the supreme
court here by VIM. D. Murphy against VIM.
Fl. English, Democratic candidate for vice
president in 1880. Murphy alleged that
about Aug. %, 1885,, English employed him
to speak in public and advocate his cleo
ton throughout Indiana. Murphy was a
resident of this state, but he went there
and from Sept. to OcG. II that year made
twenty-five speeches in different parts of
the state. He averred that his services
were worth $1,000, but he only
received 800, and his ex-
penses were $3.50. He brought
suit to recover $1,18O, with interest, from
English. The latter, in his answer, denied
that he engaged Murphy. He admitted
that Murphy addressed some meetings in
Indiana, but said his speeches we're poor
and unworthy of compensation. English
declared that plaintiff spoke of his own
interest and desire; that the alleged con-
tract was against the policy of common
law, repuguant to the constitution and
laws of the United States, and against
public policy, and void. Plaintiff de-
INJURED to the last defense, and the de-
murrer was heard by Judge Larrimore in
the supreme court. The latter gave de-
cision to-day rendering judgment for
plaintiff upon his demurrer, with leave to
defendant to amend his answer.
