OF cases in medical annals where a
father and mother transmitted the dis
ease OF wasting atrophy to their OIL
spring.
Mr.. SRckett also tells of another
weird case that came under his obser-
walton in his peregrinating show days.
Major Burneli, celebrated Snowman
of the sixties, found pair OF freak
twins in the south, the offspring of col
ored people. One Of the twins, boy,
was black as Congo stock. The other,
a girl, was pure albino. The major
engaged the twins for his show and ex-
hibited them for years. The albino girl
grew up and married an albino in the
west. The offspring of the marriage
was q baby as black as the ace OF
spades. Of course this enhanced the
showing price of Charley and his abb
no wife, and Major Burnell increased
their salaries accordingly.
ID. X. Prescott was the discoverer of
the far-famed Sleeping Beauty, whom
he found in Tennessee in the sixties.
He brought her to st. Louis. She was
young girl OF SURPRISING beauty, with
but one fault discoverable. She slept
nine-tenths of the time. She was the
greatest puzzle the medical men had
ever seen. It WAS one Of these latter
who deprived her mother of a fortune
and Prescott Of one of his most popu-
lar curiosities. The young doctor was
left alone in the showroom one day
while the beauty WAS sleeping as usual.
His curiosity prompted him to take out
his lancet and puncture her arm. The
blood started out and the beauty awoke
with scream. Her mother rushed in
from an adjoining room. Seeing the
blood flowing from her daughters arm,
she tainted away. This ended the shcw-
ing Of the Sleeping Beauty. Her
mother took her home, and she never
slept in. public any more.-Buffalo

THE TWO NAVIES COMPARED

The relative military and naval
strength of Spain and the United
States may be gathered from the fol-
lowing summary:
Service in Spain is compulsory. Lii
ability commences at the age of TWEEN
ty, and lasts for twelve years. The
population of Spain is 17,50O,000, and
the number of the annual contingent,
$4,000. The following classes are ex-
cused by law: Those physically disa-
bled, those studying for the priesthood
and ministry, those condemned to la
Dor in mines, those holding professor
ships and those purchasing exempt
ions. Members of the last class pay
$500 each to be exempted. Exemptions
omitted, there remain $4,000 men for
military service. These are divided
into two classes, for which they draw
lots. The first class constitutes the
recruits for the active army, and the
second the conditional recruits.
Service in the active army COM
mences with three years with the col
ors, then three in the first reserve, and
then six in the second reserve, the
entire service being twelve years. The
first reserve is called out six weeks
each year for service. Men serving
with the colors and those with the first

The total Spanish force that can be
put in the field in Spain for home de-
Tense is over 1.100O military men; for
foreign service, only 100000.

new Mauser rifle, a magazine gun hav-
ing caliber of .27 of an inch. There
are five cartridges in the magazine.
The cartridge contains bullet of 63
grains and 1856 grains of strong powder.
The case is of brass. The engineers,
artillery and administrative troops are
armed with the machete, which is

and little over two feet long. The
fisld artillery gun ia breech-loading
and of two calibers, 3 and 3 ! inches
respectively in caliber. The caliber of
the mountain artillery is 3 inches All

The Spanish navy consists OF twelve
armored ships mounting 1876 guns of
large caliber and over 100 of small;
also 1876 unarmored ships, being cruis-
ers, gunboats and training ships and
dispatch vessels, mounting 218 large
guns and 235 of small caliber. There
are fifty-nine torpedo boats OF the
