HIS HEAD Is BURDENSOME.
Its Weight Is So Great That Samue
EIinnG Cannot

Its Weight Is So Great That Samuel
EIinof Cannot Stand.
The case of boy, years old, with
head so large that he cannot carry 1t natur-
ally, is what World reporter found at the
Montefore Home. The lads name is
Samuel Elnoff. and his home is in Henry
street, near Rutgers. A brighter little fell
low one would not be apt to meet He is so
cheerful that he does not seem to know that
while other boys of his age in the home are
enjoying themselves at play in the open air,
he is stricken with The misfortune of being
obliged TO lie abed, not because he is sick or
lame. but because tile weight of his head is
toU great for his properly proportional
limbs to carry about in ordinary exercise.
La his large head there is contained more
knowledge than is usual to boys of his age,
yet he has never seen the interior of
school-room.
Samuel weighs fifty pounds. At least one
third of his weight is that of his head. The
doctors says that the head should naturally
be less than one-sixth of the weight of the
human body.
The case is diagnosed as hydrocephalus,
or water in the head. The presence of this
element has resulted in the shrinEage of the
boys brain. and also the bones forming the
back part of the skull. But his mind is I'M
usually clear.
The doctors say the trouble may have had
its origin IN birth. or it may have come on
gradually for years. Its future growth is
also matter of uncertainty. At the rate at
which the boys head increased in size of
late it would reach the size of a very large
pumpkin within few years time 1t is
growing faster than the balance of his body
and so is likely to become more and more of
burden. But the doctors says il is possible
that the boys head has now attained its full
growth.
Cases of this kind are not unknown.
Sometimes the operation of trepannng is
performed. In this operation a hole is
punCtured in the top of the head and the
water drawn out 1t is dangerous opera
ton, however, and the doctors will not at
tempt it on Samuel unless his condition be-
comes more dangerous than it now appears
to be.
HelloW greeted the little fellow, while
the World reporter was examining him yes
terday. t" never saw you before.
Don't you think these are nice clocks ?"
he inquired, innocenty. 81 like to play
with them"
He tried to sit up in his little bed, but his
head was too heavy. The most that he could
do was to assume a half-sitting posture and
allow his head to hang to one side. He con-
tnued his childish prattle and seemed per-
fectly happy.-N. Y. World.

That a Clerk Had of Furnishing a Shop
Litter.
She was middle-aged, well-dressed lady,
and she had the next stool on my right
alongside dry-goeds counter in Fourteenth
street. l wasn't watching her at all, but
happened to see her place her shopping bag
on the counter and deity pick up and con-
ceal pair Of kid gloves within Its capacious
NAV. One hates to NEEDLE in such cases,
but such things are wrong, and as the store
detective was only twenty feet away went
over and told him what l had seen. I saw
him look at the girl clerk, and she gave him
nod to signify that she had also caught
on. 1t was shop-lifting pure and simple,
and waited with considerable anxiety to
see the outcome.
"Being waited on, ma am ?" asked the de-
tective. with bland smile as he sat down
beside her.
"Oh. yes, yesr' she replied.
Pleasant day."
Very pleasant"
These Gloves he continued. as ne

vestment. l don't believe they will sell
again at the price this summer. See that

Julia" sold her two or three bits of lace,
Included 80 cents for the gloves on her slip,
and the bill was paid without a word. al
though the stolen goods were not even men
toned, and could not. of course, be wrapped
up with the other things. 1t was only when
the lady arose to go, after receiving her
change. that she betrayed any emotion.
Then she flushed up, grew pale about the
mouth, and as she passed me she gave ME
flash of her eyes which seemed to promise
vengeance in the future.

l asked of the detective. as she swept out
mot always. She was an old hand a. tie

make the best of it when caught. One with
less wit would have bluffed and stormed,
and should have had to take her back 10

An Experiment That Was a Losing In

There was family of five persons In the
sitting-roOm OF the Erie Depot the other
day, and the husband and father had gone
to sleep and was snoring in way to attract
general attention. 1t seemed bit curious
that the wife and children sat there locking
at him and did not attempt to arouse him,
but they even hitched away a little and
whispered among themselves. Presently a
young man with great deal of collar and
very little mustache walked over to them
and said:
He ought to be reused up, you know.

Old chappie awoke with sniff, and
snort and yell. and the FIRST thing he did
was to seize that callow youth and ~ file
him up like an old rag and pitch him over
two benches. Then the wife screamed
"Henryf' at the top of her voice, the boy
