Eugene Sues Franks.

The father of Eugene Sue was ply
stefan with exalted patients all over
Europe, who sent him the choicest
wines. The emperor Of Austria, for in
stance, had contributed tokay, the king
of Prussia rare hook, Queen Christina
Of Spain priceless alicante, Prince Met
ternich genuine cachet dor, and 50 on.
The whole was Kept in large iron cup-
board IN the study of the learned ply
stefan, known as the Elzevir library.
Eugene was then a college freshman,
and, having procured a skeleton key to
the closet, with his friends, Adolphe,
Adam, Veron and others, proceeded
every night to investigate the contents
of the bottles. Not wishing to have
their explorations prematurely stopped,
they took the precaution to fill up the
partially exhausted TASKS with water
and then to reseal them. When, for a
long time afterward, the doctor brought
forth samples of his precious stock for
the delectation Of guests worthy of it,
and the company tasted it with a due
sense Of awe, it was privately felt that
the celebrity of these great brands was
all moonshine, that ordinary table 'hote
bordeaux was preferable to them. But
nobody dared to say 50, and it was only
after the death Of his dreaded parent
that the novelist confessed the mcrilege.

THERE are bare suspicious that
the Spanish torpedo fotilla is at St.
Vincent, near Barbados, within easy
reach Of Porto Rico, and not at St.
Vincent, Cape Verde, as the Spanish
authorities have announced. So.
gasta's secretary has obtained q
promise from all Madrid papers to
print no naval news unauthorized by
the government, and the fact OF
the willingness there to carrect the
impression that the fleet was at Porto
Rico has strengthened the theory
that Spain is deceivIng, although
this is hardly possible.

horns by Dame Nature which Prelobsky
quotes have been carefully verified, and
the book published by him is the most re-
markable contribution to freak literature
that this country has seen.
The most interesting case that Prelob.
sky mentions is that Of an old Irish wom-
an, Mrs. Molly O'Hara, who lived in the
suburbs of Cork. This woman had ant
lers growing from her head that would
have done credit to a monarch of the for
est. They were genuine horns, with
spreading prongs, like those of q deer
The owner considered them q mark Of
high distinction and hugely enjoyed the
notoriety they brought her. She died,
leaving will, in which she bequeathed
her horns to q medical college in her ma
tive town, where they are on exhibition.
Another interesting case referred to is
that Of Valentin Heilmin, an Austrian
boy who at an early age began to show
signs OF having been provided with horn
in the center Of his forehead. His horri-
fed mother, who regarded the growing
horn as sign that the evil one had set
his seal on her boy, consulted physicians
and was told that the bony growth would
have to take its course. She watched the
horn grow with anguish that grew more
intense with the growing Of the horn, but
the physicians whom she consulted would
not hear of tho growth being stopped by
the surgeons knife. 1t was altogether toe
interesting phenomenon for that. So II
was allowed to grow, with the result that
at the age of the boy had full grown
horn, and visitors came from miles around
to visit his mothers home.
Whether or not the phenomenal growth
had anything to do with the boys tenacity
OF life is moot point, but Valentin ani
his horn went to the grave at the early
age Of 10, and the scientists were deprived
of the opportunity of watching a very in
teresting case Of the "devil cursed"
