A Monstrous Monstrosity.

The New York Medical Association
and all the NJ. d. of the great metropolis
are agog over the appearance OF freak OF
most startling nature This monster OF
monstrosities is full grown man in the
undisputed possession of three tongues, four
chins, three cheeks and three ears, one of
the latter being as large as that of an
elephant, besides the separate tongues
mentioned, this unexhibited freak his four
smaller ones, which seem to be undeveloped
for nothing but want of space. They are
as perfect in formation as the larger ones
but are so small (less than an inch in length
that they are not claimed by the unfortun
ate posessor to be tongues at all.
The man can speak plainly and frequent
ly three different languages. He has four
well formed chins, the lower one being
fully ten inches from the upper lip. The
right side of his face is normal, but the
left is divided into two separate cheeks,
What the doctors consider the most wOnd
erful Of all this wonderful creature make
up is the gigantic ear on the left side Of
the head. 1t hangs down like the ear of
an elephant, measuring exactly twenty-one
inches from the crown to the lower end Of
the lobe This mammoth article is per-
feet in formation and use, with the excep-
ton of its size and the fact that the open
ing is about ten inches below the side of
the head.
This, the greatest Of the nineteenth cen
fury human wonders, is Juan Jose Antonio.
He was born slave in Jerusalem of Ara
bian slave parents When he was twenty
two years of age he was stolen by a band
of Arab slave dealers and taken into Egypt.
They kept him some months in Alexandria
and then took him to Mexico from the
last named country he escaped and finally
landed in New York

The brick lining of an ordinary range or
cook-stove is often vexation to the spirit.
Hardly are the bricks in place before they
begin to crack; and if the kitchenmaid is
not woman of experience, it is quite likely
that she will dump the remnants of the
brick with her ashes. The stove is then
left without brick, and as the thin iron lining
between the oven and fire can be easily
destroyed by the fire a valuable stove may
become helpless ruin. 1t is said that a
simple cement powdered soapstone (Which
may be purchased at the drug store) and
common salt used in equal quantities and
mixed with water may be used to mend
cracked brick successfully 1t is well to
test the matter, as such cement will prove
. boon.

THE WORK THAT is BEST.

Cslrlofa Parry in The independent
Long centuries ago. in a famed city
Across the sea- a great cathedral stood.
witness to the beauty Art had wrested
From marble, bronze and wood.
one day the sunlight through a slanted window.
Upon a Swallowed arch moment shone,
Revealing unto those whose eyes were lifted
What none before had known.
1t was sculptured face of such transcendent
And inter loveliness, that those who saw.
Deemed they had looked upon heavenly vision
And held their breath for awe.
And day by day for many years thereafter.
Men came from far and near, happy to sit
And wait beneath the arch, for the briefsun ray
That should illumine it.
And felt them repaid for all their waiting
Ifthey could catch, just for moments space.
whereon TO speak, to dream to live single
swirl glimpse of that fair face.
This is the story When the great cathedral
Was being built one day. with meek respect,
There came a man, aged and feeble, unto
The master architect
And asked that of the work so sweet and sacred
Some humblest portion might be granted him.
His feebleness and age eompassionating,
Yet fearing that his dim,
Uncertain sight and trembling, eager fingers
Might mar some fair design. some perfect view.
The master, in the high roofs vaulted shadows
set him his work to do
Day after day, with sweet untiring patience,
In his obscure and humble place he wrought
From his more highly trusted fellow workers
Winning scant speech or thought,
His right hands cunning gone; the mystic grace
ofdeath EMBEDDING him. his face upturned
into that other face
That he had wrought; the face of the one woman,
For so they learned whom he had loved and lost
In early manhoods prime e'er care and sorrow
His happy path had crossed.
And as they gazed the artists and the sculptors,
The craftsmen all. whose skill was making fair
And grand the vast cathedral on the beauty
So strangely carven there.
irandest ofall - they cried; and then they whisp-
cred
.Who works for fame or gold doth something
miss;
Unheeding praise or blame, in Swallowed silence.
Love hath wrought this"'
Grandest of all" they cried before whose perfect
Ideal beauty all our boasings cease
Hail to the love that thus for loves sake only
Hath wrought Arts masterpiece"
so in the Temple fthe Ages, builded
ont of mems lives it comes to every one
Some day to find there is no work so noble
As that which love hath done.
