The sensation of Berlin is just now a
young Cossack giantess. The girl, who
/ is eleven years old, is nearly three yards
high; she weighs twenty stone, and is
/ still growing rapidly. She is very pref
| ty, with large dark eyes and pleasant
! face, and in the national costume of
the Don Cossacks, which consists of a
red skirt, blue jacket, long apron en-
broidered in gold, and necklaces of
many colors, she captures everybody S
heart. But since she is still chiefly in
/ terested in her dolls and toys, she can
not be said to return the compliments Of
her admirers.
A SHORT time ngo Aaron Smith left
Philadelphia for Swanton, Ohio, to sup
/ erintend his fathers estate. Shortly af
! ter arriving he became i'll and died a
few days later. A post mortem examin-
alton was held. The result of the inves-
tigation was singular. A large artery
had grown between the heart and lungs,

in every instance. Mrs. Hannah Whit
all Smith writes to Miss Willard that
the cases are wonderful, and have excit-
ed so much attention that French
specialists now have a hospital devoted
to the treatment, and publish a review.
A KINGSTON On. " teacher says she
has pupil who is an anomaly. He is
boy who studies hard. He can COM
NIT his lesson so that he can repeat it
with the book closed any time during
the day, but if he goes to sleep, when
he awakes he has entirely forgotten all
that he learned. This has occurred
many times, so that the teacher is al
most discouraged in her efforts to in
struct him. There seems to be but one
way to give him an education, and that
is not to allow him TO Sleep
STOCKHOLDERS and others interested
in the Monte Carlo gambling rooms are

profitable, and birds have fiocked in so |
plentifully to be plucked, that the large |
gambling halls have been insufficient to |
