A Dwarf Takes second Growth.

Sir Godfrey Hudson, the celebrated
English dwarf of the seventeenth cen
tury, was doubtless the most widely
known human curiosity of his time. He
was born of parents of the normal size
at Rutlandshire in 1919. AT birth he
weighed less than a pound and half
and was only inches in length He di
not begin to walk until after the end Oh
his third year. his height at that time
being less than foot. At the end of his
seventh year he was taken into the fam
lily of the Duke of Buckingham, having
between the ages of and years added
but four inches to his stature. With
Buckingham he lived until 30 years old,
at which time he was only Is inches IN
height when equipped i'll fashionable
high heeled shoes.
At the age of 80, however, a remark
able change came over the midget, and
for the next five years bis growth was
as remarkable for its rapidity as 1t had
previously been for its backwardness.
At the age of 80 his height had been
scant l y feet. At 30 it was feet and
8 inches How or why this remarkable
change was brought about was ques-
ton too deep for the Society of Royal
Surgeons, who, time and again, discuss
ed the phenomenon without arriving at
any satisfactory conclusions. Hudson
lived to be 90, which is three times the
average length of life among giants. -

Bought Her Own Gown.

They tell a story of an unfortunate So
ciety woman, who, being terribly pushed
for gown to wear at a great occasion,
sold seven gowns for the price of one to
Mime. X. Among these gowns was one
hardly rumpled, and which. though
very magnificent, had evidently been
worn at most only once. This dress
Nine. X. sold as a model to Mime. Y,
who was the society woman's dress
maker, and who had been obdurate
about making another thing for the poor
little woman without cash down.
When this model came in, she
saw chance for big return of money,
so she compromised with her customer
and agreed to let her havea model dress,
Just imported, for a very low figure.
Whereat the poor woman paid all the
money she had received for all her
dresses, and out Nine. Y. brought the
model. The poor woman talked herself
blue in the face, but she could not say
anything to protect herself without be-
traying her dealing with Nine. x, so,
poor thing, she danced i'll her old frock
after all, having snapped all her other
gowns for the privilege. Cincinnati

Thon Here IL . Pussy Cat Charm Wit
which 20 Woo Him.


a discussion has recently been carried
on in The Vegetarian on the subject of
the magnetic power Of thecat. One gen.
tleman writes:
Allow me, IS one who often has
sleepless nights and has tried every
thing you suggest. 20 mention remedy
which have found above them all, and
which You do not notice. 1t is simply TO
take a pet cat 20 sleep with one. Cats
are the very best magnetizers and hyp-
notists, and the safest. To obtain the
remedy it viii not do TO take cat into
your bed aud as soon as you have found
relief neglect her. You must be kind TO
the cat before and after and make her
your friend. She viii give You precious
sleep, when all other remedies fail, and
better than all put together. The cat is
the truest friend of man, We're man IN
telligent enough TO know IL. The Egyp-
tians knew what we seem not to know.
Do not force your eat TO lie this way or
that; let her take her own way. DO not
even force her to come TO you if she does
not wish it, but let her be in the room,
outside the bed. Sooner or later she
win come in and nurse you as no other
animal can. Even to look into the eyes
or even the face Of cat will often pro-
duce feeling Of drowsiness, leading 10
sleep. Cultivate the friendship of pussy,
and you will never regret 1t.
Asa pendant TO the above, may give
the following incident which happened
in my own family, and which shows
how powerfully magnetic is the cats
influence on its prey, One morning my
dauglter { :.e.i quite child), on going
into the galdla early, was surprised at
seeing the favorite cat crouching on the
ground, perfectly motionless, with its
eyes fixed on a rat which maintained
the same position opposite 10 her. So en-
tirely was the latter transfixed by the
gaze of its enemy that it never moved
when the child went quietly forward,
and gently taking up the rat by the neck
carried it into the adjoining yard. 1t re-
manned quiet in her hand. but ON being
placed on the ground, and a man stupid
" taking hold of it by the tail, it i'm
mediately turned and bit him, being by
that time aroused from its stupor. That
the ancient Egyptians held 1.-THE harm
less, necessary cat" in great veneration
may be known from the mummied re-
mains of the animal preserved in the
British museum and elsewhere. They
were even in the habit of expressing
their sorrow and respect by adopting
outward signs of mourning when the
family possessing cat was deprived OF
it by death. London Light.

MRS. PEARY WAS FRIGHTENED.
IL Was when She Went Hunting Walrus
With Her Husband.

With Her Husband.
Mrs. Peary, wife of the famous arctic
explorer, declares she has had more
than enough of the polar regions, and is
determined that her husband shall never
repeat his travels in those frigid lands.
When asked what experience stands out
most prominently in connection with
the unusual life while exploring, Mrs.
Peary, without moments hesitation,
said "Our hunting the walrus. Ii is
the only occasion in my life when Twas
so frightened that / would have well
coined death as a relief. We were out in
a boat with DIR. Cook, Mat, and some
natives. Mr.. Peary had broken his leg,
but was steering the boat, his leg, i'll
splints, stretched out before him. We
saw the walrus coming toward us, and
when the natives said, Shoot at them,
we took our rifles and did so.
''Then followed a scene too terrible
for words. The bullets had only entered
the hides of these animals, enough tc
infuriate them, and they came forward
enraRed and with but one determination
TO turn over the boat They placed
their long tusks on the gunwale and at
tempted to tip us out. i crouched at the
bottom of the skiff, loading the rifles,
so that the men would not have to wait
a second. The sea was crimson with
their blood, and for few moments
did not know whether / should be shot

walruses We killed about II, and have

Costume and Mortality.

A remarkable effect of costume on
mortality is shown in very instructive
manner by one of the English registrar
generals reports. 1t appears that among
children aged from l to years there is
an equality in the number of deaths by
scaIds and burns among boys and girls,
but from to 10 double the number of
girls to that of boys die from these
causes, while from 10 to 20 there die
1O2 women and only ~ men, and from
30 upward II women and % men, show
ing the influence of muslin and founce
in producing death, notwithstanding
the greater caution of the female sex.

favorite objects upon which to carve

of beech trees upon which thousands Of
names had been cut. This was IN Nir-
ginia, close by the left bank Of the
James river. A ravine made back from
the river. and at the head Of this ravine
there was a spring. Around the spring
was this clnmp Of beech trees
1.-THE names carved on these trees
were those of soldiers who had been en-
camped thereabout in the time of the
civil war and who had come to this
spring for water. 1t was in 1879 that !

probably been there longer About a
third of the names were still leglble
Many of them We're the names of men

had become illegible were mainly those
that had been carved on smaller trees.
"There was one big tree that had up
on it, / should think. 500 names. They
encircled it for 30 feet up from the
ground. 1t seemed as if some of those
among the highest must have been cut
by men who swung down from the first
branch, and one could imagine that
men stood ON one another's shoulders TO
reach above the names already carved
by men standing ON the ground, or that
perhaps there was led up beside the
tree horse upon whose back the carver
stood.

Animals and Speech.

The theory is advanced by Bayard
Taylor that animals remember and rec.
ognize the speech of their native land.
Once, noticing in Barnum's museum q
hippopotamus which wore an unmistak-
able look Of detection, he spoke to it in
English. The beast did not move. Going
to another corner of the cage, he said in
Arabic:
81 know you. Come here to me. F"
The animal at once turned its head,
and when Taylor repeated the words it
came to him, rubbed its head against
the bars and looked up at him with evil
dent delight
Calls for the same species of animals
differ in different parts of the world,
but each individual will undoubtedly
get used to his habitual call Cab horses
have often been known to pay no atten-
ton to gentle coaxing, but to start of
promptly at the usual flow of explosives.
