Made TO Please tho People who Visit
Fort Monroe for Their Health.
When the fattest young lady at Fort
Monroe got upon the scales there was a
Eush of expectancy. Up 10 that time
everybody was pleased, because every
cne had seemed to gain in weight. The
little girl with the auburn ringlets had
uttered little shrek of delight when
she found for the first time in her life
she tipped the scales at over n hundred
pounds. The youthful matron in black,
who said all along that il was only her
mourning that made her look thinner,
was triumphant when her avoirdupois
was registered at III. As for the fair
creature with the balloon sleeves and
incipient crinoline, she declared that
she had never before weighed within
eight pounds as much.
When the fattest young lady got
aboard she said with amiable resig-
tion:
"Put on the ffty-pound weight I'll
need it,
So the iron disc representing fifty
pounds was put on and the register was
slid along by the girl with the auburn
ringlets. Strange 10 say, it passed up
10 the very end Of the bar without
making the scale drop.
Guess you'n have TO put on another
fifty" giggled the unfeeling creature
in the balloon sleeves
The fattest young lady began to look
alarmed.
''It isn't So" she exclaimed indig-
nantly. II don't weigh an ounce over
one hundred and seventy-nine pounds"
But the girl with auburn ringlets had
already added the extra fifty pounds
weight, which caused the scale 20 re-
spond at once. II promptly registered
two hundred and two pounds.
The fattest young lady looked as
though she did not know whether to
burst into tears or to slap off the bon
net Of the girl with the auburn ringlets
and stamp on It.
1T is a cheat and a horrid fraud, 3"
she declared. Then she raised her
parasol with an emphasis that nearly
broke one of the ribs, and marched
away.
just at that moment colored waiter
passed by with a basketful of napkins
The youthful matron in black stopped
him.
'Is this weighing scale correct?" she
said.
"Yaas'm," he replied. Then scratch
ing his head, he added 'Dey is hebby-
weight scales"
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"Dey Is for folks what come here fer
health" he exclaimed. "Ebbery one
weighs a lot more on 'em than city

asked me what I'd have, and said I'd
like a strawberry with ice cream in IT.
"The giant set out on the counter a
glass about two feet high and he put
in II q lot of strawberry sirup, and then
he took the cover off of an ice cream
freezer that was pretty near as big as
barrel and scooped out about three
platefuls OF ice cream and put that in.
Then he put the tumbler under the soda
water spout and whirled the wheel
around and the soda went sz-z-z IT!
SIT! SIT and then the giant pushed the
glass over in front of me, full, and with
the thick creamy foam running over
the top and didn't touch IT,"

rareties among the poorer classes. and
poor Kitty was encouraged TO pick up
those found on the church floor, '.re-
ceiving a stick of tally for every
mouthful thus collected" This habit
of holding pins in the mouth grew on
the child till i.ialiy sha could neither
eat. drink nor sleep without having
from six to dozen of theM under her
tongue and around her gums. She
would often go to sleep with mouth
full of pins and awake to find them
gone. The absence of the pins could
