We had a private interview with the Curl
GUS liale waif that Is on exhibition at the
museum and for which ~ claimed the
distinction of being the long sought-for
missing link between man and the
anthropoid apes. Krao certainly presents
some abnormal pecuiiarities; but they

but intelligently. Thus, At Il watch being
suddenly produced at the interview. she
was attracted by the glitter, and cried out

This evinces considerable powers of gen
civilization, accompanied by a somewhat
defective articulation, and il appears that
her phonetic system does not yet embrace
the liquids and 7. But in this and other
respects her education is progressing IA
vorably. and she has already SO FAR
adapted herself to civilized ways that the
mere threat 70 be sent back 10 her own
people is always sufficient to suppress any
symptoms Of unruly conduct.
Physically KraO presents several pc
culiar features. The bead and low fore
head are covered down 10 the buShy eye
brows with the deep black lank aud lus-
tcrleSs hair Characteristic of the hongc-
loid races The whole body IS also over
grown with far less dense coating Of
soft black hair. about quarter OF an inch
long. but nowhere close enough to con
ceaI the color of her skin. The nose is
extremely short and low, with excessively
broad nostrils, merging into the fun,
pouched checks, into which she appears
To have the habit of stuffing her food,
monkey-fashion. like those of the an
thropoids her feet are also prehensile;
and the hands so flexible that they bend
QUITE back over the Nvrists The thumb
also doubles completely back and Of tire
four fingers all the top joints bend at
pleasure independently inward. Her
. beautiful round black eyes are very large
and nerfectly horizontal; hence the ex-
preston, on the whole, Is far from up

['Gath's Betterl
The cultivation of tobacco in ths
northern states is carried on artihcialy by
stimulants Of the fields and by the use OF
IRE in the drying house. The thrifuest
farmers on the globe are thus substituting
tobacco for grain. seeing the difficulty of
competing with the great western grain
fields Ii is ore Of the pleasures OF civil
cation that mems wants increase and
vary. and labor is called 10 supply tllcm
and thus some old region rises into new
activity and the monotony and GomPcti-
ton Of one or two crops ceases.
