An attche OF the Maverick, while wan
dering around town the other evening in
quest of something which might satiate
the cravings OF the reading world, over
heard conversation which opened ur
the avenue to startling item and, with
the object Of getting at the details, he
approached one of the party, who is 9
physician, and made inquiries as to the
conversation overheard a few moments
previous, but was met with blunt but
polite refusal to be let any farther into
the secret; but after dogged persistence
on the part of the Maverick representa-.
tive, the gentleman approached agreed te
conduct him to the seclusion of the mon.
strosity, he first agreeing to give neithe,
name nor locality. Accordingly, in com.
pany with the attending physician, he
visited the house, where was found, to
his utter astonishment, human deform.

capable of conceiving. This curiosity is

pounds, has well.developed head, bui
no sign of hair, and when viewing it in .

distinguished, and what appeared to

The body as low down as the hips is well
developed and symmetrically formed,
but the legs, feet, arms and hands are
the exact counterparts of the centipede,
the fingers and toes resembling tina claws
Of one OF those reptiles, and are Of Q

harder ever since birth. The toes and
fingers are also transparent, being of Q
light reddish color, and are ever and amor

live it will prove to be the greatest curl.
osity ever known to anatomy.
The mother, who is Of more than ordi,

at this phenomenal deformity of her off
spring, and appears to have all that ma
ternal love and care that is bestowed
upon those more fortunate, and desires
that it live, but says that in case it doe.

A SECT OF CHILD KILLERs.-The
"Novoe Vremya" warns Russian motheru
OF new religious sect which has given
several proofs of its existence. In .Rostov,
on the Don, an officer engaged middle.
aged nurse for his three.year. r.old son.
She was very attentive and seemed fond
ct the child, but after two months she
suddenly left the situation and the town.
Inc child began to all the very next day,
lost Its memory, and suffered from con.
tlnual drowsiness. A week later it died
without having been really ill. The
corpse was placed in the coffin, when a
young Jewess burst into the house, threw
herself upon the dead child, and crying
bitterly said: The same woman poisoned
my child. She was my nurse before, and
now she has murdered your poor boy!
The woman spoke the truth. It ha,
been found that in Rostov there is Q
society Of child murderers, who poison
children by means Of narcotics. They
are instigated to do so by fanatical
woman, who says: 1T is every woman's
duty to spare the evils Of life to as many
children as possible, and to make them
share in the bliss of heaven before earth
has contaminated their SOULS"

Fruit Without Seeds.

\ tendency to produce seedless fruits
is assumed as evidence more or less con
elusive of ancient or prehistoric cultiva-
ton OF the plant. Among common fruits
that are occasionally seedless are apples,
berries, cherries, cucumbers, especially
when grown under glass, grapes, lemons,
medlars, mulberries in the Orient, oran-
'ges, pears, persimmons, pomegranates
Strawberries and tomatoes. Bananas and
pine-apples are habitually seedless fruits.
1t is stated that the second-crop pears
are always seedless, and seedless vari-
ETY. is known. All the better pears pro.
dace few seeds. Improvement in grapes
is always accompanied by diminutior
OF fseed The European stock, citis cint
.tcra, has given rise to many seedless va
rieties. Our native wild grapes produce
more and better seeds than their eulti
vateSl offspring. The stones of cherries
very often fail to perfect sceds.-S}r

Curacao"

Consul Barnes has written an interest
ing article from Curacao, which we find
in the Grocer and Cdnner, in regard to
that tropical island paradise:
Curacao, the Island containg the cap
ital of the Dutch West Indies, is the
largest of the islands, its length from
northwest to southeast being 36 miles, it's
breadth about eight miles, and its area
1854 square miles. At no time is there suf-
fcient forage produced to keep the ami
mails in condition, because of the dry eli
mate, and the forage is not such as to
make the animals tempting food for the
table. There are but two small streams
in the island OF Curacao, one issuing from
cave upon plantation by the seaside,
and only sufficient for its use, and one,
also small, issuing from the hills iii the
northwest and unoccupied end OF the is
land. \ rainy day is a meteorological
phenomenon. The fruit product of Cura-
Gao shows much diversity, and in favor
able locations in many varieties it is
nearly perfection. The fruits can gener-
ally be depended upon for steady crops.
The principle fruit, however, that has
made the name of Curaco known to the
world is the orange grown there, Citrus
ruIgoriS, there called naranja cajera.
Both the tree and fruit are small, and
the latter is of deep green color. No
other tree receives such care and culti
vation as this. The fruit itself is only
used, with syrup, to make a sweetneat,
or dulce, as it is called. The skins are
what are harvested for constant mark
ct. At that stage of development Of the
fruit when the rind contains d maxi
mum Of oil, the fruit is picked and peel
ed in quarters, and the quarters are dried
and pressed, and packed in halt barrels
for export The total product of the or
charis in orange rind is shipped to Am
sterdam, and the price paid varies from
50 cents to 81 per Dutch pound-a tenth
more than the pound ayoirdupois BY
distillation the oil is extracted from the
skins or peel, and is used to favor the
celebrated liqueur Curacao" As oil
may be extracted from the skins OF all
kinds of oranges, so they may be used to
favorliquors; and perhaps this accounts,
to some extent, for the fact that Cur
acaO" is manufactured in Germany and
France, and that the supply i'll the prin-
pal cities of the world is never behind
the demand.''

The Value Of Oranges.

Throughout the entire range OF fruits
that have attracted the attention of the
medical profession asa means of allieviat-
ing many OF the ills that human nature is
heir to, there has been found none that
have SO many and diversified uses as the
luscious and succulent orange. Particu-
larly is this SO in all cases OF low malarial
complaints which are so prevalent in
climates where sudden changes of tenn
peEatalse frequently occur The use of
oranges as an anti-fetrine is recommends
ed generally throughout the civilized
world, and has largely taken the place
OF unpalatable drugs so frequently used
to the great disgust OF the taker. Nc
fruit compares III cheapness with the
beautiful and luscious orange, particular
ly on this coast, where the finest oranges
in the world are produced in immense
quantities and sold at prices so low as tC
be within the reach of the most moder
ate purse. All classes of fevers can be
prevented by the daily use of oranges
and no one should fail on this coast tC
avail themselves OF the opportunity tC
/ continue in health when the means to dc
80 are so cheap, handy and beneficial.

Steel Casks.

y Wolyerhampton (Eng) firm has
turned its attention to the manufacture
of casks and barrels of steel. The two
edges of the sheet of steel which forms
the cask are brazed together in such a
manner as to justify the title OF seam
less, which the patentees lrave applied
to these productions The head of the
barrel is also riverted to the body, so as

are thick enough to give good purchase
to the grappling-hoolls of hoists and
cranes for loading and unloading pur-
poses. The bush for the tap does not
project beyond the rim, so that the noz-
zle is not liable to be knocked about and
injured. The casks are more durable
than wood, less bulky and lighter-an Is

Analyzing Drinking Water.

y contemporary gives the following
simple method for analyxing common
drinking water: Place the water in a
clear bottle, and first examine if it be
colorlesss and thus free from organic
matter. Then taste it, aasd if no peculi-
ar flavor Is discernible, let it stand day
or two; then heat or boil, and il no odor
is present, &.he water is in all probility
pure. If the presence of sewage contain
lnation is suspected fill clean pint bot
Sic three-foufIlhs full of water, dissolve a
teaspoonful Of loaf or granulated sugar,
cork the bottle and place ii i'm warm
place for two days. If the water he
comes cloudy on nnudy, it is unfit for do
messiic use. If itEemains perfectly clear,
it is probably safe to use. If the water
is sufficiently concentrated, it Will give
a blue precipitate with potassium ierro-
cyanide when iron IS present, ard a
black precipitate with hydrogen sulphide
if lead is present. 1t @,Ould be unwise to
attempt these tests without some prevf-
ous knowledge of chemistry.
