A female negro thirteen months
old, which has four arms and tour
legs, is now in the care OF Harry
Farmer, Of S21 Walnut street, aud
Is attracting much attention. The
child moves its natural arms aud
legs as well as any cI.il,l of its age,
crawling about the floor and using
its arms without constraiut. The
extra arms grow out from near the
umbilicus, and are apparently at
tached to q grisly process which
seems to be u continuation OF the
floating ribs of the opposite side.
They haye not developed at all,
aud have the same appearance as
the arms of newborn infant.
They seem devoid of muscular
power, but are provided with cir
culating apparatus which keeps
them as we'll nourished as any
other portion of the child's anatO.
my. The unnatural legs are ap.
parcntly articuiated to a prolonga.
ton OF tho anterior portion of the
pelvis. They have grown some
what since birth, but the joints are
rigid at the hips, knees aud ankles,
although there is some capacity for
voluntary movement in the toes.
1t is au intelligent little thing, re-
garding its numerous visitors with
open.eyed wonder, and seldom cry
ing, even when under physical ex-
amition. The mother of the CHILD,
who is from Charleston, s. c., says
that she has borne five children,
the last alone beiug in any way
peculiar. She says that the infant
has been healthy from its birth.

LOVE AND DUTY.

1t was a wild and rocky coast,
along which ran the path that led
to the home OF old Martin Frere.
at ordinary times the cottage
would have possessed but little
attraction for a bold, stirring youth
like Owen Glen. But u visitor had
OF late frightened up its precincts
IA young girl named Annis, after
the aged grandmother who dozed
by the hearth through the long
evenings, content to watch the
flames as they shot up from the
broad fireplace, aud perhaps to
see visions Of the past with her
dim eyes.
Dame Frere was "a sharp-voiced,
bustling woman, long past middle
age, and not having the name of
possessing very sweet temper,
but she had a soft place in her
heart for granny, and it was to
please her that she had invited her
pretty name.child to come to visit
them for q few months.
Aunis was a tall, slight girl, as
stalght as pine tree aud as graceful
as a fawn. Her yellow hair hung
in a perfect name of shining curls
all about her shoulders aud far
down below her waist. Imagine a
sweet, innocent face lighted With
great lustrous dark eyes, and a red
nouth almost always curving into
smiles, and you have some idea OF
Annis.
Most of the young girls in the
vicinity were buxom. merry lasses,
with hair and eyes to match-botb
| of an intense blackness--aud more
of the boyden in them. Their
laughter was loud and hearty, and
their ways more trolicsome than re
| fined. SO it is not strange that
when this graceful, quiet stranger
came among them, with her shy
ways and blonde coloring, heI
swift changes OF expression and
native case of manner, sue was al
once taken into the hearts of az
the young people in the neighbor
hood.
| 1t is q great mistake to thinl
that one girl is insensible to an
other maiden's beauty. Sometimes
to be sure, she may have q feeling
of jealousy with regard to that dis
position, but oftener she loves thu
object of her admiration all th'
more because she embodies tina
ideal which exists In every humal
soul to a greater or less degree.
Owen Glen had fallen head owe
heels in love at his first meeting
with Annis, and had not missed a
opportunity of meeting her at tb
various rustic gatherings to whicl
, she had been invited; and to.nigh

Hog All the Way Through.

A peccary is in all respects hog.
He looks, smells, tastes like hog, ami
is hog, but for thing of indomitable
courage of the lower type, for q hater
of quenchless fury, and for q fighter to
the last throb of his heart, he has no
parallel in the animal kingdom. They

Dispatch, but when one is assailed the
entire drove rush TO the attack as men
rush when martial vigor urges them.
Each bead-like eye is = iire-spark,
tusks are protruding, the echinated
spine Strengthened, and woe to the
man who falls in their path. Gored,
bitten; torn. trampled upon and eaten
up, to the very last shred of his cloth
ing-such is the fate of the man caught
by drove of angry peccaries. With
tho same fury they assail wolf or at

of half a dozen peccarieS. Both know
this and fly in terror from the field.

About Macaroni.

"While macaroni Is the national diet
of Italy, il has become completely
Anericanized," said prominent
Our American patronage is increas-
ing, which shows the growing taste for
our food. Excepting our pure, native
wines, macaroni appears to be the
most favored by our American cpl
cures. In fact, all the English speak
ing people in New York are taking
lovingly to this wholesome and slippery
diet. Do you know how it is made?
No! Well, will tell you. Macaroni.
vermicelli Tor little worms), talliarini.
ETC., are the products OF flour from the
best quality of wheat. Macaroni differs
from vermicelli only in siZe-the latter
being made in smaller tubes. Both are
prepared in the greatest perfection at
Naples, and are the principal food of
the great body of the people there.
Macaroni is To the Italian what the TIC
and the date are 10 the inhabitants of
the Leyani. and what rice is to the
Asiatic. The hard-wheat flour import
ed from the Black Sea Is the best suit
ed for the manufacture of macaroni.
None OF it ever reaches this country,
except ii is imported by private parties
for home consumption. The flour Is
mixed with water, frequently washed in
mountain streams, then ground in
water mills, and hot water is added
until it becomes dough. 1t is forced
by pressure through n number of
small holes or tubes, and then cut off
at the desired length. The largest
tubes are called macaroni, next vermi-
celli and the next fedelini. Talliarini
is made pretty much on the same plan.
only that IL Is long, narrow and fiat,
and when served looks something like
wretchcd spider-web. Vermicelli
means little worms, and when in soup
one would come to that conclusion
without knowing the literal meaning of
the word. Spaghetti is another species
of the same kind of food chopped into
small, round sections. Italian paste,
you know, Is used in buildings. No.
| not in the 10-cent restaurants. IL is
those little things you see in the shape
| of stars. hearts. crowns and letters of
the alphabet; and while eating your
pudding or soup you can refresh your
memory in the alphabet or study
astronomy or anatomy. AT Naples
the preparation OF macaroni and its
species is best undcrstood; nothing is
used except flour and pure water, the
best being made OF flour OF hard wheat;
the most inferior. for the peasants, Is
made of -four Of soft wheat. The maca-
roni used BY the poor Is merely boiled
| In water, and not often washed and
| rroupd with mat great care in making
the best article. The lazzaroni Of our
country have only one ambition--to ex-
Gel each other in swallowing the

WOMEN IN AMERICA.

Miss Emily Faithful has carried back
with her 10 England from her last Wis
it to the United States high opinion OF
the position filled By women in this
country. According 10 statement
made by her and published in the
London newspapers, America is far in
advance of the old world in realizing
the ideal OF equality in the sexes, SO far
rs occupation is concerned. She points
out that by degrees women are taking
positions in almost every trade and
profession, while, on the contrary, in
England there are but very few into
which they can lind an entrance. She
attributes this success 10 the fact that
in America the old prejudice about
working for living. which is still
strong obstacle in England. has been
very largely overcome. and seems to
intimate that with its complete over
throw the avenues open for the two
sexes in classes OF work for which the
two are alike fitted will not greatly
differ. In her opinion, America is un-
questionably the paradise for married
women; in fact, she seems TO think
that American men spoil their wives,
taking upon themselves duties in the
way OF housekeeping which no married
woman in England would think for
moment of imposing upon her husband.
Altogether, Miss Faithful puts the
American woman many degrees high
er in the social and Industrial condi-
ton than ner counterparts in the old
world. But none the less, she insists
that Tor single English women TO 90

friendly auspices, and with some def
mite end in view, would be 10 assume
risk which could not be contemplat-
ed with any degree of satisfaction.

HER MONUMENT.

grew up quietly, as quietly as flower
grows, and no one knew-she did not
know herself-how much she had done
to tend and water and train it, Her
husband had absolute trust in her.
He earned the money; she expended it.
And she put as much thought in her
expenditure as he put in his earning,
each dollar was doubled in the expend-
ing. She had inherited that mysteri-
GUS faculty which we call taste. and
she cultivated it with fidelity. Every
home she visited she studied, though
always unconsciously, as though it
were museum or an art gallery; and
from every visit she brought away
some thought which came out of the
aiembic of her loving imagination fit
ted to its appropriate place in her own
home. She was too genuine to be an
imitator,- for imitation is always OF
kin to falsehood, and she abhorred
falsehood. She was patient with every
thing but lie. So she never copied
in her own home or on her own per-
son what she had seen elsewhere; yet
everything she saw elsewhere entered
: into and helped to complete the per-
feet picture of life which she was al
ways painting with deft fingers in ev-
erything, from the honeysuckle which
she trained over the door TO the bu-
reau in the guests room which her
designing made q new work of art for
every new friend, il il were only by q
new nosegay and change OF vases.
Putting her own personality into her
home. making every room and almost
every article of furniture speak of her,
she had the gift to draw out from every
guest his personality and make him at
home, and so make him his truest and
best self Neither man nor woman OF
the world could long resist the subtle
influence of that home; the warmth of
its truth and love thawed out the froz-
en- proprieties from impersonated ETH
quette, and whatever circle of friends
sat on the broad piazza in summer, or
gathered around the open fire in viii
ter, knew for time the rare JOY OF
liberty--the liberty of perfect truth and
perfect love. Her home was hospita-
BILE because her heart was large; and
anyone was her friend TO whom she
could minister. But her heart was
like the old Jewish temple-strangers
only came into the court of the gen.
tiles, friends into an inner court; hei
husband and her children found q
court yet nearer her heart of hearts
yet even they knew that there was 9
holy of holes which she kept for hei
God. and they loved and revered her
the more for 1t. So strangely was
commingled In her the inclusivenes,
and the exclusiveness Of love. its hos.

MY attention has been called to n
statement recently published in one of
the Sunday papers purporting TO be n
list of the millionaires of Philadelphia,
in which no fortune Is set down at more
than $4,000, 600, while the most Of them
are below that sum. Such lists as this
are mere guesswork, and show in q
striking manner the peculiar contrast
between the spirit OF journalism and
social life in the two cities of New
York and Philadelphia. In New York
the universal tendency is 70 exaggerate
the magnitude OF private fortunes, the
amount OF business, the cost of public
works, the value of property, etc. |;
while on the other hand, in Philadel-
delphia, the prevalent spirit is exactly
the reverse OF this. Here it is custom

volume of trade. the value of property.

partner. William 5. Wcightman. is
worth from SIC, 900. 600 to $l2, 600, 900.
The estate OF the late Thomas A. Scott
was worth at least $l0,000,000. The
estate of the late Joseph Harrison was
estimated by himself during his life
time mt $1,000, 900. The Estate of Rich
ard ID. Wood was worth at his death
$1,000, 900, and is now much larger.

A MoMAN's MONUMENT.

A statue to Margaret Haughery was
unveiled in New Orleans recently,
says The Ncw York Commercial Adcer-
User. The woman whose memory is
thus honored was uneducated, and be-
gan life poor. She amassed some-
thing like wealth by her own industry,
and expended her means in charitable
works, with as much discretion as lib
crafty. dcvoting her efforts chiefly 10
the nurture of destitute orphans, q
work so well done as TO win for her
the title 1.-THE orphans friend"
The fact is commented upon that
the statue is The first public memorial
of the kind erected in the United States
in honor OF any woman. This, we be-
lieve, is true, out not because women
have been wanting whose lives have
deserved such honor. The reverse,
rather. is the case. But woman's
great qualities of compassion, devo-
ton. and all nobility of soul are usual
ly exercised privately and quietly.
The noblest of them shun public recog-
milton, and lives of high endeavor and
worthy achievement are so common
among women as TO be characteristic
rather than exceptional.
We set up statues 10 men whose
deeds lave been notably exalted. be-
cause such men are rare, and their ex-
amples are needed as promptings TO
others. But among women high des-
ert Is so general that we erect monu-
ments to the type rather than indiyid-
uals. Ii is woman, carved in mar
BILE, whose hand bears the scales of
justice over the portals of our court
houses. 1t is by the figure of woman
that we everywhere typify virtue,
mercy, peace, and sweet charity. 1t is
woman's head that we engrave upon
our coins, and liberty itself-the sole
idol of the English speaking races
represented as - goddess, not god.
The foundation now in course OF con-
struction in New York harbor is to
bear one of the grandest of all statues,
given by one great nation to another,
and that statue is in the form of q wo-
man. IL we have not honorcd particu-
lar women in this way, we never cease,
at any rate, TO set up sculptured testi-
monials TO womanhood.
