Some of the Famous Ones in Washing
tom.

A huge punch bowl is to be found in
almost every house in Washington, and
punch making has become fine art. One
Of the most famous punch makers was
the late Charles Astor Bristed. His
punches were neither too strong nor too
weak. In other words, one glass would
not make you drunk, neither were you
obliged to drink several gallons in order
to reach a point of exhilaration. This
point of eXhilaratiOn is the place to stop
drinking. Daniel Webster punch is a
complicated drink that calls for whisky,
rum, champagne, arrack, maraschino,
green tea, lemons, sugar, and very little
water. a party of distinguished Scotch
gentlemen, who were in the city not long
ago, during their stay were invited to
visit the private residence of prominent
gentleman. During the evening a light
collation. was served in the dining room
and huge punch bowl was set out.
The head of the party, a
ScOtchman, who at home
occupies the position of provost in his
native town, stepped up and tasted the
punch, and, turning to an acquaintance,
said, ''That seems very light: ! think it
would take man long time to get drunk
on that" This cool liquor glided very
easily down the provosts throat, and a
second glass followed Pausing before
beginning a third glass, he engaged in
conversation for moment, then he shook
his head and said, Il don't see what is the
matter with me-" His eyes became halt
shut, and as he stepped forward he nearly
lost his balance. Turning in the most
surprised fashion, he looked at the punch
bowl and said, ''Do you know, think that
drink is very inseedious. What is it
made of ?'' His friend reDlied GsWhisyxv
rum, claret, champagne, sugar and
lemons, and little water.' The Scotch
man understood at once what was the

Exhibition at Central Park of Krao,
Who Is Said to be the Real Missing
Link.

Exhibition at Central Park of KraO,
Who is Said to be the Real Missing
Link.
Mr.. George Shelby, the friend of Carl
Book, the European traveller, arrived in
this city yesterday, says the New York
World of Sept. 10, bringing with him an
interesting little girl, years old, who, he
says, is the last OF a race having the ami
NAL characteristics of a chimpanzee
monkey and the intellect of a human
being. The little girl was exhibited yes
terday before number of scientific
gentlemen at Central Park. She was
dressed in pretty terra Gotta dress,
very short in the skirts so as to re-
veal the perfect symmetry of her limbs.
A gold rope girdle1 the dress. The
girl is called krao, and speaks both Ger
man and English Her face is round and
full and covered with thick hair. The
similarity to monkey is seen in the
cheek pouches, in which she stores her
food, and in the absence of bone in her
very flat nose, in her ears and her pro-
jected jaw. Over her forehead her hair is
very thick and hangs down her back in
| jet black ringlets. The hair on her arms
| grows upward, and on her back starts
| from her sides and grows towards her
| spinal column.
The most striking condolences are in
her Vertebra, in which there are thirteen
| ribs, and in her fingers, which twist and
turn in any direction. He feet are as SER
| viceable as her hands.
Mr.. Shelby went two years ago to the
country of Laos in Northern Siam, where
he had heard there was strange race of
men. With the assistance of the King
he and his men surrounded a village
pitched in the trees, and with the help of
soldiery captured the child Krao and its
father and mother. The father died of
| cholera ON the voyage to England. and
the mother was kept by the King. When
Mr.. Shelby took Krao she had the in
stincts of an animal and a man. MIR.
| Shelby began to educate her. For long
time Krao manifested a disposition to
throw cups at her governess in lieu of
cOcOanuts and to coil her hands around
the neck of that lady. By perseverance
| the little creature was brought around
and is to-day as intelligent as any metro
pOlitan girl of her age. Mr.. Shelby will
exhibit KraO.
