CHATTANOOGA has an ossifed girl.
The girl is remarkable sight. Her
flesh is ossitied exactly the same as
Jonathan Bass, the famous ossited man
who died two years ago. She has pair
of large, expressive dark eyes that suggest
intelligence. But if intelligence is APP
parent, there is no other evidence OF it.
She cannot articulate, and her eyes
follow ones movements the same as one
of the lower order of animals. She en-
joys perfect health, and her father says
that she is never so happy as when he
carries her about with him, In street
cars, on the railroad trains, or in his
arms while walking.
A DEvoNsHIRE, England, landowner,
who has a large sheet of water in his
park, threw tie skating open to all
corners during the frost, at charge OF
twelve cents or twenty-five cents ION
different days. for entrance, employed a
large number of men all the time in keep
ing the ice clean, gave universal salts
faction, and at the end of week had
clear balance of over 5000 in hand to
distribute among the poor of the district.
In this way all the distress specially
caused by the cold weather was more
than alleviated.
CAPTAIN William T. Bernard of the
steam tug Plymouth, which recently ar
rived at Philadelphia from Boston, with
three barges in tow after, one of the
toughest passages ever made, had more
than the elements TO contend with during
the trip. She was attacked in the Vine
yard Sound during a hurricane by large
flock of wild ducks that had been carried
from the land by the wind. They
fought desperately against the side of
the tugs house and the powerful electric
light on the masthead which was the OBJ
iect that first attracted them. Mate
Willard went on deck and was knocked
fiat by one of these Infatuated birds,
which flew directly at him, striking him
on the breast. Fully fifty of the ducks
were caught.
PENDLEToN, Oregon, has dog,
Scotch colly, which lives in the cellar of
a drug store and has acquired the kero-
sene habit. She remains in her abiding
place for days at time and derives sus-
tenance by tapping the kerosene that
drips from the oil-cans. Once in awhile
the dog comes forth to be patsed by the
boys, but very soon returns TO the cellar
in search of her favorite article of diet.
If food or water is offered, she will ac-
cept neither, but dish of kerosene she
appears to regard as choice dainty.
THE Making correspondent of Shang-
hal, China paper says that Tian lgsi
man came to that city, bringing with
him remarkable freak of nature in the
shape of his two sons, aged eight years.
The boys were like their fellows in face
and form, with the exception that they
are connected with each other by piece
of flesh as thick as a mans arm, and
joined together just below the waist,
making the twins stand face to face.
The twins never fall asleep at the same
time.
THE ceremonies and festivities in con-
nection with the recent marriage at
Cairo of Mahmud Pacha Riaz, Governor
of the Suez canal, to the daughter of the
late Raasam Pacha lasted one week.
More than four thousand guests were in
vited to the wedding. Many dinners in
both the Arabian and European style
were served, requiring the services of
seventy cooks and 100 walters. The
marriage was one of the most brilliant
celebrated in Cairo in many years.
ONE of the most jealous letter carriers
in Maine is little black and white dog
who lives at the Government buoy station
on Diamond Island, Portland Harbor.
The steamer does not make landing in
the morning, but the captain blows two
whistles as he approaches, and then
throws on to the wharf as the boat passes
newspaper wrapped around a piece of
wood for the dogs master. The spaniel
never fails to answer the summons.
AN old lady looking out of the window
of cable car in Kansas City, No., the
other day, saw in one Of the yards silk
patchwork quilt, old and faded, hanging
on the line. Instantly she stopped the
car, went into the house and found, as
she knew she would, an old friend she
hadn't seen in years. She recognized
the quilt as one she had seen her friend
piecing in central Missouri eighteen years
