She Has Forty-One Fingers and Toes.

Little four-year-old May Hill is one
of the queerest human freaks in the
matter of fingers and toes that per-
son sees in n lifetime. She was brought
to Fort Worth by her father, j. w. Hill,
who, with her mother, is carrying her
back to their home in Cass county. The
child has on her left foot nine toes,
one growing from the top Of her foot
and on the right foot eight toes. She
has nine fingers and three thumbs on
the right hand and seven fingers and
five thumbs on the left. Each hand is
divided into two phalanges, each con-
tanning several fingers. The thumbs
grow on the hand where one thumb
of normal persons grows. The fingers
are grown together like vebfact. In
all, the girl has y toes and fingers.

USE OF SLANG.

Delicate Application of It Made by Skill

The really amusing feature of slang.
says writer in the Illustrated Ameri-
can, is not the expression itself so much
as the delicate and fanciful application
of it made by sldllful hands. "Dontcher
know has been established SO extern
sirely and generally that the listeners
car takes no more notice of it than of
a punctuation mark. Nevertheless, it
is an irritation to hear it constantly
repeated. You understand me, you
see what ?" thrown in at the end
OF every sentence, even though the
conversation may be about the sim
plcst matter, causes a nervous intelli-
gent auditor to feel that he is being
mistaken for an imbecile. To ask man
with special emphasis if he under
stands, when the subject before him
would he understood by child of
two, borders on insult. The good-h hui
morcd, pachydermatous speaker has
no appreciation of the irritation he
is causing nor of the keen sarcasm of
TIE occasional reply he elicits. Slang
seems to be the natural mode of eX-
preston for the boy at school and col
lego. From him it spreads to his sis
tcls, and not to know the meaning of
all the complicated and arbitrary terms
argues ones self out of the world of
youth. TO be in sympathy with it one
must have at least u bowing acquaint-
oncc with this strange and ephemeral
language.

A CAUSTIC CRITICISM.
Report of United States Consul
Ge aeral DeKay at Berlin.
Complains Bitterly of the German
Commercial Methods - Unfair
Treatment Accorded For
cign Products.

United States Consul General Charles
DeKay at Berlin, the well-known jour
nalist, anticipating evidently the
speedy termination of his official duty
at his present post, has addressed to
the state department caustic criticism
upon German commercial methods,
which the department has made public.
a considerable portion of the report
is devoted to an account of the dissolu-
tion of the produce exchanges of Berlin,
Konigsberg, Posen, Magdeburg and
other towns. His comments upon this
action and the causes that led up to il
and the results that will probably fol-
low, will make interesting reading in
Germany when retransmitted there
by the German ambassador, and Mr..
DeKay. it is believed, will have his grip
sack packed and his resignation in the
hands of the state department before
the report receives official recognition
in Germany. This portion of the re-
port, is, however, too lengthy and too
full of technicalities to be of general in
terest to the United States. He proceeds
as follows:
Just now the Berlin markets and those
of other large German cities are full of de-
licious apples, cheap, large, firm, fragrant
and fine Favored. Because they come from
America certain papers are against them;
the others dare not point out their superior.

much the same antecedents have
brought the Hungarian produce exchange
al Buda-Pesth to Z very similar pass The
awrarians Of Hungary have made the same
demand, namely, that the various landed
pr0prietors shall be made directors Of the
produce exchange at the appointment OF
the minister Of commerce, without cleo
ton on the part Of the members OF the eN-
change, whether such appointees are mer-
chants and understand the rules and GUS
toms Of the exchange or not.
THE sharp proceedings against the eE-
changes Of Prussia seem part OF a gen
oral movement here by which all the places
worth having are gradually brought into
the power OF the titled and land-owning
classes. Thus IN 1SiS merchants were ap-
pointed to hold Office as Pruss!an minis
ters Of state. Down to 1862 the minister of
commerce was a merchant. But since that
cate the incumbent had been one Of the
hereditary foes Of commerce, and neith-
cr by education nor inclination disposed to
humor the mercantile classes.

A good many questions are daily ask
ed about the gunboat Marietta, soon to

Union Iron Works, at san Francisco.
The boat is one Of six, authorized at
the first session of the present Congress.
OF these the Newport, Vicksburg ana
Annapolis have already been launched,
and the others almost ready for launch
ing. Four of these vessels, the New
port, Vicksburg, Annapolis and Prince

they need not steam unless they are in
a hurry. This will bc great saving

will have steadying sails only, ana Will

These boats are of complex construc-

body is of wood, sheathed with copper,
with an inside hull OF steel. Copper

enable the boats to go without having
their bottoms cleaned for long time.
The vessels will carry suitable batteries
of rapid-fre and machine guns. There
has been Princeton in the navy be-
fore, and on board of her took place
tragedy. On board that vessel in 1874
was mounted new gun. 1t was ex-
pected to prove one of the finest pieces
of ordinance in the world. The Prince
ton was lying in the Potomac, below
Washington, and a large party of oifl-
cials, among whom was Secretary of
State Upshur, who had been Secretary
of the Navy, went down from the cap
ital to see the "Peacemaker' tested.

where he can best conduct the work Of
economic and industrial reform which
confronts the next administration.
The Commercial Tribune speaks for
that broad craftsmanship which has
made Ohio the leader in Republican
councils. The party and the Nation
need the foremost men OF every state.
Never before We're strong character
and fearless patriotism so demanded in
National affairs. The Senate of the
United States has suffered the severest
misfortunes during the last decade in
the choice of weak and obscure men
from some of the far western states.
The strength and dignity of the early
days of the Repub bile have been sadly
threatened. Ohio, for the first time in
many years, is to be represented by two
Senators who will reflect the real
spirit of her people. They must be her
greatest sons. The colleague of Jo-
