A FINGERLEss .FAMILY.-In q
Lincolnshire village in England lives
q family who suffer under the Curl
Gus deformity of being fingerless.
From what can be learned, the sin
gularity has existed in the family
so far as history or tradition ex-
tends, and there seems at present
no signs of its dying out, as the
grandchildren are as devoid of fin
gers as their grandsire. The hands
Of this remarkable family present
the appearance of having had the
fingers amputated, or chopped of
roughly and unevenly below the
second joint, leaving o short stump.
There is no nail or hard substance,
and were it not for the absence Of
anything like q cicatrice casual
observer would conclude that the
defect was due to accident; but, as
though nature had attempted to
compensate for the absence Of fin
gers, the thumbs are abnormaliy
large and strong. One of the daugh-
tiers, aged twenty, can write, sew,
knit, and is in every way as dex-
ferrous and accomplished as other
girls of her age and station. When
asked il she sdid not find it awk-
ward to be fingerless, she replid !:
"No! IL you had never had fingers,
You would not know you needed
them"

The Young Ladies' of the Ballet.

The young ladies who have acquired
from long practice the faculty of stand
ing about unconsciously and impervious-
ly in drafts with bare legs, arms and
shoulders do not charm the gentlemen
Of today as they fascinated their fathers.
The foyer lives upon its ancient fame,
and is still curious to look at, but it has
fallen from the high place which once
belonged to it in the life of Paris.
When first saw it, the gathering was
in its full glory. Almost miserable as
was the room, with its dirty, sloping
floor corresponding with the incline of
the stage), it's low ceiling, and its air of
general discomfort, the scenes that went
on in it, the words that were spoken in
1t, and the people that frequented it,
were absolutely apart; nothing like
them was to be found elsewhere. The
mixture of brilliancy, Of elegance, of
dance, Of sparkling talk (on the side Of
the men), Of lovemaking and of laugh
ter was prodigious. Neither natural
nor experimental chemistry has ever
produced q more intimate compound of
fantastic elements. 1t was social and
moral synthesis in its intensest form.
At that time the habitues of the foyer
were convinced that they could not live
without it.; it had become necessary to
their lives. The present generation man
ages to subsist away from it.-Black-
woods Magazine.

Abraham Lincoln,s Peach.

A young lady sends to the Chicago
Tribune a little anecdote of Abraham
Lincoln. She says that good many
years ago. when her father was small
boy, her grandfather brought Abraham
Lincoln home one night to supper. He
was then poor young man practicing
law in Woodford county, Ills.
It was a cold, stormy night, and
grandma hurried around getting supper.
To have something nice, she opened a
jar of preserved peaches. Lincoln spent
long time over his peach and finally
left it on the plate.
Grandma noticed this, and as soon as
he and grandpa had gone into another
room she went to look at the dish. Then
she saw that instead Of peach she had
given the visitor the little muslin sack
which contained the peach kernels and
the spice. She hastened into the other
room and began an apology, but Mr..
Lincoln said:
"That was all right, Mrs. Perry. My
mother used the same thing, and it was
30 good that I wanted to get all the
Juice out Of 1t. I"
