A Girl Who Weighs $40 Pounds.

A girl 10 years old, who weighs $40
pounds. is the daughter of o. B. Braiser,
farmer. who lives at the foot of Cum

was of ordinary size and intelligence,
but about that time she began to increase
rapidly in flesh. and it was within year
after that she attracted attention on &C
count Of her abnormal growth. From
that time on she increased to such pro-
portions that people for miles around
foclied to see her, and she became tie

Dor children. and is clever and energetic
in all her movements. The skill Of the
physicians has been ineffective in staying

the interesting fact that exact expert
ments conducted in the lake of Geneva

The Antiarlan Dvvarfs.

There probabl never was a boy or
girl who did not dream of possessing
for his or her own pleasure band of
pygmies who should do what they were
hidden like SO many animated dolls.
Dwarfs have been found in Africa, but
the natives of the Andaman islands, in
the bay of Bengal. are the smallest
race of people in the world. The aver
age height of Il full grown Andaman
is four feet five inches, and few weigh
over seventy-six pounds. They are
marvelously swift of foot, and as they
smear themselves over with n mixture
of oil and red ocher present very
strange appearance. Few travellers
care TO encounter any Of the warlike
little people. for their skill in throw
ing the spear and in using the bow is
only equaled by their readiness to at
tack strangers.
Altogether their traits are not such
as to make them desirable additions to
the playrooms of children, since they
have been said to eat men alive. They
are as black us Goals and seem to find
it desirable to tattoo themselves. This
artistic venture they usually begin
when they are eight years of age,
using bottle glass for the purpose get
ting their flesh into d condition to re-
ceive the color and retain it, They eat
fish, turtles and wild honey and are
rarely satisfied with luncheon that
does not prov de them with six pounds
of eatable. They live in huts made OF
leaves and in spite of their freedom
which amounts to wildness, are ex-
ceedingly rritable.-Harper's Young

How to Dry wet shoes.

liarpers Bazaar: When, without
overshoes, you have been caught in a
heavy rain-storm, perhaps you have
known already what to do with your
best kid boots, which have been thor
oughly wet through, and which, if left
to dry in the ordinary way, will be
stiff, brittle and unlovely? If not, you
will be glad to learn what 1 heard only
recently from one whose experience is
of value. First wipe off gently with a
soft cloth all surface water and
mud then while still wet
rub well with kerosene Oil,
using for the purpose the furred side
of Canton flannel. Set them aside till
partially dry, when second treat
ment with oil is advisable. They may
then be deposited in a conveniently
warm place, where they will dry
gradually and thoroughly. Before APP
plying French kid dressing, give them
a final rubbing with the flannel, still
slightly dalrpened with kerosene and
your boots will be soft and flexible as
new kid. and be very little affected by
their bath in the rain.
