n Royal Scare.

At late banquet in the royal castle
of Ludwigsburg in Wurtemberg a juicy
roast of pork formed the piece de re-
sistance, of which all the guests par
took freely. The dish was not yet re-
moved when an attendant handed to
the king on silver platter an official
document which was nothing less than
the result Of the examiner, who stated
that he had found the bit of pork sub
mitted to him full of trichina, all alive
and kicking. There was universal out
cry of dismay. Everybody grew vio-
lently sick, and the assembly, just now
all magnifcence and politeness, was in
an instant transformed into sort of
hospital ward, each man and whan
vomiting or trying to vomit in order to
get rid of the nauseating pork. Those
who failed to relieve their stomachs had
the doctors apply their stomach pumps.
But the poor cook, who had been care
less to dress, roast and serve the pig be-
fore the examiner to the court had sent
in his o K, was dismissed in disgrace.

TWO NOTED DWARFS.

Diminutive European Celebrities of Gen.
turies Ago.
The English dwarf, Sir Godfrey Hud-
son, was, doubtless, the most widely
known of any human curiosity of either
ancient or modern times, Lucia Zarate
alone excepted. Born of parents of the
normal size in Rutlandshire in 1919, at
birth his height did not exceed five
inches. He did not begin to walk until
after the end of his third year, his
height at that time being eight and
three-fourths inches. When seven years
Of age he was taken into the family of
the duke of Buckingham, having be-
tween the age of three and seven added
but four inches to his stature. At the
age of thirty he was only eighteen
inches tall when fully equipped with
his high-heeled shoes, which were then
so fashionable. Now comes the most
remarkable part of the story At the
age of thirty-one, a time when most
human beings are supposed to have
fully matured, he suddenly began to
grow at a surprising rate, his growth
being so rapid that in the short space
of four years he shot up to the height
of three feet nine inches, a clear gain
of six and three-fourths inches for each
year. How or why this remarkable
change was brought about was a prob
lem which the Royal Society of Sur
geons was never able to solve. Hud-
son lived to be sixty-eight years old
Joseph Bornwalski was another Of
the old-time dwarfs of distinction. He
was born in 1739 near Chailez, Polish
Russia. He was one inch less in height
than Hudson was and weighed but
eleven ounces On his twenty-frst
birthday he was two feet two inches
in height and very robust. lie went to
England and married woman of the
regulation size, and lived to the ad
vanced age of ninety-eight years

gether, tell US of still stranger sights
than these
Along the edge of the great glacier,
all the way from Icy bay to Yakutat
bay, there extends a strip of green
coast, which is covered with luxuriant
vegetation. Strawberry vines cover the
ground for miles, and the verdant fields
are reddened as far as the eye can reach
with luscious fruit, which compares IA
vorably in point of size and flavor with
the finest fruit grown in temperate lati-
tudes. There are huckleberries, too,
and salmon berries, which are some
thing between blackberries and rasp-
berries, but of giant size, measuring
nearly two inches in diameter. All the
lowlands are carpeted with violets, but
tercups, yellow monkey-fowers, and
other wild blossoms. Here and there,
in the midst of vast ice-felds, are the
loveliest gardens watered by the melting
snow.
