Worlds Mu,eum-rheater.

There are other remarkable curiosities at
the Worlds -Theater this week, but
none to compare with the little girl they call
"krao." A Philadelphia paper says: "You
must go and gaze on the gentle tKrao.' This
man monkey is no lusus nature, such a.
bearded women, spotted dogs, or giantesses.
She is a regular production in the regular
order Of nature; the descendant of . hairy
father and mother, belonging to tribe OF
hairy people. The fur on her body is about
two inches long, on her forehead some
what longer. But tKrao' is by no means ILL
looking. Her eyes are strikingly beautiful
large and full, proclaiming her human
affinity. In her habits 'Krao' is half human,
half monkey. One remarkable feature is
the fact that her joints are as
flexible as those of any monkey. With
the greatest ease she can twist her fingers in
all directions, while the whole hand can be
bent backward almost to right angle.
With her feet she can pick up any small
object from the floor with as much ease as
with her hands, and she has the unmistak-
able monkey-like habit of turning the soles
of her feet up fiat when sitting down.
Although she does not possess an actual tail
she has the rudiment' of one, and the
altogether more like that of q monkey than
of a human child. 1t has often been said
that a monkey will not speak because ne
knows that if he did he would be made to
work. Krao, at any rate, can speak Eng1sh
and German. 1t might, perhaps, be de-
cided that she is the missing link after all,
and is properly designed the human monkey.
The Ethiopian wonders will give an enter
tainment in the theater.

Davis NIuseum-Theater.

When Manager Harry Davis, of the Fifth
Avenue Museum and Family Theater, an
nounces great attraction like he does this
week, it is no wonder that he does so with a
great flourish of trumpets, for it is not often
one has the opportunity of seeing such a
monstrosity as Lionfne, the ion-faced
woman. With the body and form of a well.
formed woman, yet she has the face and
features of the great king of beasts. Zamora
is another curiosity of unusual note. He is
a triple-jointed man, who, though chained
and bound, can release himself from the
strongest box that was ever made. Lagruna
is a magician, who has no peer in the profes-
troupe of trained birds, who perform many
amusing tricks. Cool Burgess, the great
stump speaker and ethiopian comedian,
makes his appearance in an entirely new
act. The Monumental Speciality Company
from New York will be seen in long and
varied programme.

Intensive Farming

This is the established phrase to ex
press that condition of farming where
each acre and every square yard of
each acre is made to produce the very
largest possible yield. One acre is thus
made TO do the work of ten, nay of
even one hundred. Instances are of
record where fruits aud vegetables
well cared for have yielded enormously
and with great perfection of product.
And what is now the exception may
become the rule under proper system
ofintensive farming. What is required
for this result is small farms. The
Melvin Garden Farms near Annapo
lis have been planned and beautifully
laid off with this object in view. The
land is of fine quality for the purpose,
easily improved, with high, healthy
building sites close TO the city of An.
napolis. The easy terms upon which
Mr.. Melvin offers these Garden Farms
invite attention. Call and get his maps
and descriptive circulars and invest in
a Garden Farm. 1t is just the thing.

A Spring Flower Garden.

There is nothing that delights one more
than TO have bed of Hyacinths or Tu-
lips, Crocusses or the like. In the past
the people of Annapolis have not appre-
ciated this fact to the extent, that they
should, and why? Have the prices for
bulbs been such. that they could not buy
them Or has there been no place where
the same could be purchased Now the
prices for the bulbs are low, and there Is
no excuse, and there is place where
the same can be bought.
1t is my desire to see whether the peo-
pie of Annapolis are really lovers of
flowers, and see whether ii is any use to
have retail department to my estab-
lishment for the benefit of the flower
buyers of this city. In consequence of
this fact will make an offer of bulbs,
the like of which has never been head
of before.
For ONE DOLLAR l will sell the fol-
lowing collection:
- MIXED TULIPS, 12 HYACINTHs.
o NARCI sUs, 25 CRoCUsEs,

These represent Bulbs below any
price they have ever been offered before
This offer is only good for one week.

Exceptions by the Football Team
To he Editor Of he Eesninq CapitaI.

DEAR SIR Your correspondent from
the college is either gifted with per
yid Imagination. which leads him to in
dulge in hyperbolical phraseology. or
else he wilfully makes use of language
intended TO mislesd.
In his column of items printed last
night he refers TO the college football
team and the necessity for trainer. al
the same time he intimates that the cap
tain should look more carefully after the
men.
Now while am willing TO admit the
general truth of the above observations,
| do take exception TO his description
of the habits OF the men, for ! would not
have the public draw the conclusion
which might be done from his remarks
that the football team is made up OF
young men, who are prone to riortous
living, who eat and drink what they
choose, and take their rest az unusual
hours. AS a matter of fact some OF the
steadiest men and best students COM
prise the football team, while the rules
of the college enforce regular hours, and
the manner of living is also supervised
by the same authority. Ii is quite pro-
bable that training" table will soon
be provided in the club dining-rooms,
and that the diet of the team will be
scrictly enforced to the fare which pro-
notes true sinews and muscle. | am
Very truly yours,
