in New York city, where they will be placed

inches longer than his right arm. Mrs. Calvin
was born with only one eye, which is a very
singular freak of nature A son has an arm
which is large and well formed and reaches
nearly to his feet, making him look as though
he had three legs Two girls, aged seven and
nine years respectively, have left arms that are
about nine inces longer than their right arm.

the Hall of Congress in the City of Mexico.
There was beautiful stage setting in one end

We hear less about old men than we did
twenty-five years ago. A man forty-fve OF
fifty years of age is spoken of as that rising

men live longer now than they used to. They
