GIANT AND MIDGET WE'D.
A Romantic Incident In the Lives OF q
Couple of Circus Freaks.

A Romantic Incident In the Lives OF .
Couple of Circus Freaks.
Extremes met in Bolivar, Mo-, when
the Texas giant, Col. Torvel, seven feet
eight inches in height, married pretty
Henrietta Mority, the midget maiden,
who Is just twenty-five inches high.
The couple have been the chief attrac-
ton with a circus showing in that sec
ton for some weeks past, says the New
York Sun. 1t has been evident to the
attaches of the show for long time
past that the giant was badly smitten
with the midget, while she seemed to
look up admiringly at him.
Finally the swain, whose sighs oft
times famed the canvas as though a
hurricane were raging outside, deter
mined to make the lovely and illipu-
tian Henrietta his own for all time. So,
quietly taking a clergyman into his con-
fidence, the hour was set, and the other
morning the gallant giant stole his
fairy bride from beneath her mothers
wing.
Torvell's mother-in-law raised lively
scene when she learned that her daugh-
ter had married the giant, and for a
time it looked as though he would lose
his bride and the circus it's chief attrac-
ton. Finally the manager of the show
came to the rescue, painted in glowing
words the greater attraction the couple
would be as man and wife, raised their
salaries, and the show went on with
Col. and Mrs Torvell, the Texas giant
and his midget wife, billed in letters
twelve inches long.

SURGEON AND PHYSICIAN.

How the Use of Anestbetics Has Raised
the Character of the Newer Profession.
The physician and surgeon are now
social equals and receive exactly the
same professional education; while
many general practitioners are men OF
the highest attainments and skill, OBJ
tanned from familiarity with the pro-
team forms of disease. The universities
now grant a degree in surgery and the
colleges of surgery have ceased to exact
apprenticeship in even the nominal
form demanded thirty years ago. says
the London Telegraph.
Surgeons who have been made
knights or baronets are quite as numer-
Gus as the members of the sister branch
of physic, and the incomes earned by
the operators are assuredly as large as
those enjoyed by the prescribers. But
the surgeons have won the position
they now occupy only by the brilliant
advances which their art has made and
by the skill and courage of long line
of practitioners.
From Ambrose Pare, the barber who
followed the armies of Francis l., TO
John Hunter-who, as a Hunterian
orator only lately remarked, more than
any other man helped to make sur
geons gentlemen-is long jump. Yet
even john Hunter was a rough and
ready person compared with the tenants
of Harley street to-day. Those who re-
member Lister, Syne and Chassaignac
Travers, Give, Ferguson and Won
Crate, the Lsngenbeeks, and Abernethy.
and Ashley Cooper, Brodie, Bell and
Guthrie cannot hut wonder at the prog
ress which the at as known to those
great men, has made within the last
thirty years Indeed, it has advanced
more rapid)y-or, at least, its achieve
ments are more obvious and appreci-
able-thap has been the case with
medicine, IN which advance must neces-
sarily be tentative and discovery has to
remain for a longer time in the hypo-
thetical stage.
The surgeon does not now use his
knife as freely as his predecessors did
He is more conservative than of old;
more anxious to save limb than to re-
move it Antisepties have within the
last twenty years reduced the mortality
from operations 10 an extent which was
scarcely credited when Lister intro
duced them But the greatest reform
in the modern history of surgery was
when cbloroforrn was discovered TO be
an anaesthetic capable Of destroying
pain, permitting the surgeon TO oper-
ate quietly, without the cries or groans
of the patient disturbing his equanimity.
For the first tine the delicate opera
tions could be performed with accuracy.
1t Is, indeed. not too much to say that i
was only after this most benefcent of
all the gifts of science to suffering hu-
nanity was put into surgeons hands
that many men of high culture and
sensibility cared 10 practice surgery.

PREHISTORIC MONKEYS.
They Were Discovered in the Transvaa
by Diamond Miners.

They Were Discovered in the TransvaaI
by Diamond Miners.
In searching for diamonds or pre-
cious metalspeople sometimes make un-
expected additions to our knowledge of
geology or natural history. Engineer
ing works also have sometimes the
same result. Only last winter the re-
mains of a mammoth were unearthed in
London more than twenty feet below
the surface, says an English exchange.
One Of the tusks was, unfortunately,
broken by the workrnen; the other was
carefully preserved. Some curious
dried monkeys have been recently dis
covered in tho Transvaal. From the
extraordinary attitudes which they
have assumed, and the fear and rage
expressed by their not too amiable coun-
tenance, it would appear that they
must have been overtaken by some
sudden catastrophe, ssuch as landslide
or avalanche of mud. The attitude of
the female endeavoring to protect cher
little one from impending death is'quite
idyllic, while the rage and fear of pat
erfamilias, who must have stood nearly
four feet high, are equally manifest.
The tails of all of them spring from an
unusual position, high up in the back
They appear 20 have been mummifed
by some natural process, and there is
still some hair adhering to the skull,
In the same cave in which these crea-
lures were found the diggers turned up
skulls of a bushman and Hottentot;
also of deer and bird, the latter
with some feathers still attached TO it.

captured live herring. He took the
fish home and kept it in a large vat Of
salt water.
Every morning the professor dipped
out of this vat half teaspoonful Of
salt water, and replaced it with an
equal amount of fresh. His purpose
was to accustom the fish gradually to
live in fresh water instead of salt.
The herring lived on, and passed IFS
days in the best of spirits. In the
course of time the water in the tank
was rendered completely fresh. Not .
grain of salt was left in it. And the
herring remained cheerful and in good
health.
Next he began to deprive the fish, lit
tie by little, of the fresh-water element
in which he lived. In this also he was
successful, and after time the herring
gambolled around in a perfectly dry
tank. Herr Professor congratulated
himself that another transformation

COMPOSITION OF CHEWING GUM
Parts of Its Makeup Are Secrets known
Only to Manufacturers.

Parts of It's Makeup Are Secrets known
Only to Manufacturers.
A great many false statements have
been made as to the composition of or
dinary chewing gum. Of course, where
spruce gum is used, everyone knows
what the basis of it is, and the article
is sold to-day pure and in good quality
at from fifty cents to one dollar and
fifty cents per pound. Most of this gum,l
according to the Indian Rubber World,
is gathered In the Green Mountain
regions of Vermont, and is sold through
the west, as other kinds are more pop
ular on the Atlantic seaboard The
gum, however, that is sold from candy
stands and in drug stores to-day is of
totally different origin, and, as rule,
is manufactured product. To a GER
tain extent this is secret, as all India
rubber compounds are secret to ordi-
nary observers. What is known as Yu-
catan gum is made of gum chicle, sugar
and variety of favors with certain in
gradients which are kept secret, but
help to make homogeneous mass. The
favors that are used are peppermint.
wintergreen, hcorice, pineapple and
some few medicinal ingredients.
Experts in chewing gum manufacture
can tell in minute whether good flaw
ors are used, whether the best gum is
incorporated and just what the quality
of the compound is, but in order to tell
this accurately they are obliged to test
it by chewing. The gum has a certain
quality of sugar added to it to sweeten
and make it palatable. 1t viii be no.
ticed that in chewing gum, after it has
been in the mouth awhile, the sugar
and flavor is entirely gone, and what
remains is the rubber-ike product,
which is the chicle gum nearly pure.
This gum is the sap of a Mexican tree
which is called sapodilla- 1t grows in
other countries besides Mexico, but
that is the only country where a 'busi-
ness is made of tapping it. 1t Is col
lected like India rubber sap, by cutting
incisions III the bark, between the
months of November and April, and
after the gum has been gathered it is
packed in sacks, two hundred pounds
to the sack. 1t is then hght-colored
mass that appears TO be about halfway
between gutta percha and India rubber.
In the factories it is washed, dried an5i
mixed, much as India rubber is, only it
needs no process of vulcanization. and
when run off on the spreaders is cut
into sticks, wrapped and packed ready
for shipment.
