They only trickle of him and he can't get wet.

For all he has to do Is just to beat his little

For he sails around the tdrest in the middle

Don't you think it must be jolly when the sun

And they haven't got to dress themselves in

HORNED PEOPLE.

Members Of the Human Family with
Horns Like Beasts - Examination OF
"Piot the Dsvil"--H0rns All Over the
Head-SOme Strange Cases and Super
t.utions Regarding Them.
Human freaks in all imaginable shapes
are well known to frequenters Of the dime
museums, says the st. LOUIS Republic.
However, not one person in one thousand,
perhaps In ten thousand, know that human
beings with horns like an OK or unicorn
have frequently been exhibited in the cities
OF England and continental Europe during
the past FIVE hundred years
The first of these rare specimens OF the
genus homo of whom an authentic written
account has beer preserved, one Pet OAR
nelO, was up before the town tribunal OF
Lisbon in 1906 on charge Of being an OF
spring OF the devil When born Pet had
two horns growing from his head, one over
his left ear about one and one-half inches
in length, the other almost exactly in the
center of his forehead nearly three inches
long.
At first both were covered with a soft,
Slowny fur, like that on the new horns of
animals Of the deer species, but this soon
cracked and peeled off, leaving horny ex-
cresences which, in the quaint language OF
the account, 'did much resemble the spurs
of ye male barne-yarde fowle."
The horn near the ear was immovable
from the first, being firmly attached to the
skull The larger one on the forehead
seemed only IN the skin and could be
pressed down until the point touched the
nose without causing the owner the least
apparent pain.
At the age of three years the larger horn
was removed. During that short time it
had grown from less than three inches to
nearly seven inches in length and had given
evidence of becoming permanently attached
to the frontal bone. Within the year fol-
lowing soft tumor appeared over the right
ear Of little Piet, conforming in position al
most exactly to that of the smaller per-
manent horn over the other ear, which had
At this time attained length Of nearly five
inches. From the tumor there sprang a
horn which grew with alarming rapidly
for three or four months, or until it had
grown to be about the length of the one over
she left ear. Unlike its mate, the horn
which sprang from the tumor was not fixed,
seemingly only attached to fatty sub
stance which had formed between the root
of the horn and the skull after the bursting
OF the tumor
Taking encouragement from this fact the
surgeons again applied the knife and left
Pet for the second time possessed of only
the smaller of the original excrescences;
the one over the left ear which had ceased

ing Village, which caused the Lisbon sur
geons to lose all trace of him. At the age
of sixteen, in the year 1906, he returned tc
Lisbon and was tried, as or above men
toned, for being an offspring of or near
relative of his satanic majesty. At this
time Pet had three perfectly developed
horns, one over each ear and one in the

las inches. For full account of this wonder
full case, this being the longest human horn
on record, the reader Is referred to "Bar-
tholines Epistles."
In 1871 Sir Everard Home, F. r. s., made
an exhaustive report on human horns to the
Philosophical Society Of London, in the
course of which he says:
SIN giving history Of disease so rare
in its occurrence, and in its effects SO re-
markable as almost to exceed BELIEF, IL
might be thought right to take some pains
in bringing proof to ascertain that such
disease does really exist. ! consider the
doing so as less necessary at present, there
being two women now Q79D alive and re-
siding in England who are affected with
the complaint. Il Mrs. L0nsdale, a
woman fifty-six years old, a native OF Lin
colnshire, first observed movable tumor
on the side of her head about fourteen years
ago. The location of the trouble was about
two inches above the upper arch of the left
ear 1t gradually increased in size for four
or five years, or until it had become as large
as a hens egg, when it burst and for week
continued to discharge thick, gritty tuld.

four, the horn was nearly five inches in
length and as hard as ivory, although not
attached to the skull.
In the Ephemerides Academic Nature
Gun .osorum may be found two accounts of
horns growing from the human body.
One of these accounts is most remarkable,
inasmuch as the horn did not grow from
the head, but from the small of the back
The patient was a nobleman of high rank.
His name is not given. Perhaps the
chroniclers feared to excite the royal dis
pleasure of his highness by letting the peo-
pie at large know of his peculiar malady.
The other case mentioned in the work
above-named was that of German woman.
Her case did not differ in any of its essen
tails from those already mentioned.
Margaret Griffith, Welsh woman, and
the wife of David Owyn, had a hard twisted
horn, six inches in length, exactly in the
center of her forehead. Exactly when and
where the Griffith woman lived, or what
date she was put on exhibition, l have been
unable to learn, but that it was some time
in the seventeenth or eighteenth century
may be inferred from the following copy of
the title page of tract sold by the man
ayers of the show in the towns where the
woman was on exhibition: MIRACULOUS
and Monstrous, but yet Most True and Ger
tayn Discourse of a Woman, in the Mydst

The Great Ant d. to of Fear and Anxiety
A Blessed Assurance.
As God is with His suffering peo-
pie they may be alleviated as to their
burdens of painful apprehension or
distressing care. An assurance of this
invaluable presence may change mid
night darkness into MONDAY bright
ness in many scenes of Christian life.
Sorrow may weigh heavily upon the
unforsaken child of God; sickness may
PROSTATE him; bereavement may blast
his hopes, and desertion may chill his
very heart; but 'the eternal God" is
near ut hand as Father and an all
sufficient Friend, so that he has an un-
failing source of support and consola-
ton. In his severest trials the Lord
God Almighty" is with him to behold
his sufferings with pitying eye, and
to really extend to him a helping hand.
while knowing how much he can bear,
and what support is needed. and fully
understanding when and how he should
be delivered. With the impression
duly made upon the mind and heart,
that God is near, il Is nc. hard to feel
assured that all is we'll.
That is tender scene wherein two
little boys are described as lying to-
gether at night, when Willie, the eldest.
who was only six years of age. awoke
very thirsty. Being told that he could
get up and help himself to some water.
he began to cry, saying that he was
afraid. Then his little brother. two
years younger, spoke encouragingly to

charge horn five and half inches long
had sprung from the pit of the excrescence,
causing the lady the most desperate and
violent pain; SO much So indeed, that she
attempted to tear it from her head, and
with much difficulty and many efforts at
length broke it in the middle and afterwards
succeeded in tearing it bodily out by the
roots, leaving a considerable depression,
which still remains in the part where it
grew. AS before noted, it was about five
inches in length, about one inch in diameter
at each end, but rather smaller in the mid
die. 1t is curved and contorted much like
rams horn, and in color reminds me Of ISM
glass.
'sFrom the lower edge Of the depression
made by the removal Of the first horn an
other is now growing of the same color as
the former, and in length about three
inches. 1t is less contorted, however, than
the first, and only about the size of a goose
Quill in diameter"
After Sir Everard made public the results
of his observations on the Lonsdale woman's
case, and within a short time after the
formation of the second horn on the edge OF
the depression caused by the removal OF the
first, not less than two, some say three,
and even four, other horns formed on the
woman's h ad. The third horn grew from
the upper part of the lambdoidal suture and
had attained a length of about two inches
when the lady tore it out by the roots
Within twenty days it had been replaced by
another, which was also removed. A third
grew to the length of three and three-quar-
ter inches and became solMly attached to
the skull.
The other woman referred to by Sir
Everard when he says "there are two wom-
a Mrs. Allen, Of Leicestershire Like the
horns on the head of Mrs. Lonsdale that on
the head of Mrs. Allen came through the
agency of suppuratnR tumor. This lady
turned her aff1iction to good account. As
soon as the horn attained a sufficient size
to attract attention, she started on star
ring tour of the principal cities of England,
exhibiting herself after the most approved
dime museum fashion. One of the old Lon
don surgeons, writing in regard to the APP
pearance of the horn at the time Mrs. Allen
was on exhibition at Lincoln's Inn Fields,
says In the month of November, 1890, the
time cav her. the horn was about seven
inches long and little more than an inch
in circumference at the base. 1t was a
good deal contorted, and the surface very
irregular, having laminated appearance.
1t moved readily with the scalp, and seemed
to give no pain upon motion, but when
handled much the surrounding skin became
infamed and painful"

His warm rains fall His dews descend;
We wake to find our harvest growing,
Cared for and guarded by Friend.
"He gives in sleep" The world forsaking,
The soul forgets its ache and care,
While rich and crimson currents making
The heart can life's demands repair
We are so frail. Could we be letting
Our thoughts constant toiling keep?

When His beloved are asleep.

Bright angels watch the night away;
Perhaps departed ones who love us
Leave blessings for the coming day.

The unseen mercies Of the night.

A BELIEVERS EXPECTATIONS.

They Relate Both to This and the Future
Life. and They Do Not Fail Him.
Wicked men may have great expec-
tations. Pharaoh had. He confident
ly expected to pursue. overtake and
destroy the Hebrews. But his expec-
tation persisted, and he and his proud
army were overthrown in the Red Sea.
Hamen had great expectations. The
King had honored him above all the
princes and mobiles of the realm, and
he looked for still greater favors and
higher honors. But how suddenly
were all his hopes blighted, when he
heard the Kings order: Hang him
thereon" Judas planned, as he thought
wisely, for delivering his Master into
the hands of His enemies, but he was
soon overwhelmed with bitter disap-
pointment. His expectation persisted
forever, and in the bitterness of re-
morse and despair he went and hanged
himself
The Christian has great expectations.
They relate both to this and the future
life. The Psalmist gives expression to
his anticipations in the familiar and
beautiful words: "Surely goodness and
mercy shall follow me all the days OF
my life, and l will dwell in the house
of the Lord forever"
In this life he expects to be an object
of Divine care. His God will protect
him and provide for him. Bread
shall be given him; his waters shall be
sure" He who feeds the sparrows
will feed him. He who clothes the lily
will furnish his raiment. He will not
be forsaken. 1.-THE mountains shall
depart, and the hills be removed; but
My kindness shall not depart from
thee, neither shall the covenant of My
peace be removed, saith the Lord that
hath mercy on thee" He knows that
he may fall, but he is confident that
though he does fall, he shall not be
utterly cast down; for the Lord up
holdeth him with His hand" He is
sure that goodness and mercy shall
follow him all the days of his life. He
confidently rests upon the covenant
faithfulness and fatherly pity r. y
GOD. -~ -
He expects to die, but the prospect
of death do,s not dismay him. when
thou passeth through the waters,
will be with thee; and through the
rivers, they shall not overflow thee;
when thou walkest through the fire
thou shalt not be burned, neither shall
the flame kindle upon thee" He may
fall in the wilderness, or perish in the
food, or die in the mountain, as Moses
did. but he expects that as God was
with Moses, so He will be with him. He
knows that death is terrible, that it is
an enemy, but he also knows that it is a
conquered enemy, that Christ has de-
stroyed death and him that hath the
power of death, and therefore he ex-
poets to gain the victory over this last
enemy, and be more than conqueror
through Him that loved him.
He is persuaded that his expectation
will not perish when the gates of death
close behind hin. He is confident that
He who hath begun good work in
him will perform it until the day OF
Christ Jesus" and that he will behold
his Redeemer's face in Righteousness,
and shall be satisfied when he awakes
with his likeness. He expects 10 sit
