A Man,s Head ON Baby,s Shoulders.

The death of remarkable freak of
nature occurred at Dubuque, Iowa, re-
Gently. Thirty-two years ago there was
born to Silas Hall and wife, of Parkes-
burg, Iowa, a boy baby. It was normally
developed with the exception that the
head was large in proportion to the body.
After two years the body of the boy did
not grow, but the head developed until
it was as large as that of an ordinary
man, and full beard grew on the face.
For thirty years the freak has been tied in
chair and fed with spoon. Its mother
was obliged to get up three or four times
during each night to attend to its wants.
It could never speak a word, but re-
warded its mother with a graceful look.
Her constant fear was lest she should die
before her boy and no one be left to wait
on him. The other children of the
family are perfectly normal.-Nelo York

An unhealthy woman is rarely, II ever,
beautiful. The peculiar diseases to which
so many of the sex are subject, are prolific
causes of pale, sallow faces, blotched with
unsightly pimples, dull, lGstreless eyes and
emaciated forms. Women so afflicted,
can be permanently cured by using Dr.
Pierces Favorite Prescription; and with
the restoration Of health comes that beauty
which, combined with good qualities of head
and heart, makes women angels Of lovliness.

WOMEN AS FARMERS.

Farmers VINO find the business profit
able owe much of their success to the
good management of theirwives. 1t is con
ceded by al that farmer without a wife
who is good home manager cannot ex-
pect to make money. As a general thing
farmers wives are as skilful managers
as their husbands, and share almost
equally with them the burdens and
pri7ations of farm life. A woman who
has been reared in the country finds
pleasure and health in overseeing the
dairy, the garden and the poultry yard, as
well as looking after her household
duties.
When a farmer has suchta wife he can
devote his entire time to hisl general farm
work, and at the end of the year the
profits will be well nigh doubled.
There are in Indiana a great many
women who farm extensively and are as
skilled in the business as any OF the men.
These women have made money out of
the business and would not give it up
for any other calling. Marion County
has quite a number of women who have
been giving farming much thought, and
are equipped to make the business sue
cess. Many of these ladies' are members
Of the county agricultural societies, and

light as those expressedsby the male

A Miser's Hidden Wealth.


Ample material for a sensational novel
is supplied in the last police reports from
Stockerau, a small town on the left bank
Of the Danube, saws the London Neacs.
About week ago IN old woman of sew
entv-Theresa Schiller-was murdered
by two visitors, who succeeded IN escap-
ing. She was known to be an old miser,
who lived in rags, with two cats and
dogs, in a little suburban house, which
sta quite isolated, near the railway
The police made an inventory OF her
possessions. After seine search It was
found that the old woman must have
been in relations with ali the thieves OF
the Empire. Property which has been
missing for many years was found on her
premises. The elcw was given by the
discovery Of a valuable watch and chain,
20 which n strip of paper was fastened,
with the words: ssBoughf tins Of S-forl
six tiorins.
The watch bore the name Of a we'll
known citizen Of Stockerau. out of whose
room it had been stolen ten years ago.
The old woman's clothes were mere RAGS
and the police at first felt reluctant to
touch them, but when splendid golden
pyx, set with precious stones. fell out Of
a tattered gown, their interest was reused
and every corner was searched. In the
cellar large pieces of gold, no doubt
melted ornaments, were found In the
loft there we're boxes with tzinkets and
Jewels, many Of which the police recog-
lized as forming part Of the Granich-
itaedten PROPERTY, the theft of which on
