Men and Women With Horns.

Villereuve, a French authority, has
been at some pains to collect many in
stances Of men and women who have
had horns.
In the British Museum is the largest
specimen of human horn. 1t is eight
inches in length and ornamented the
head of noble Englishman. In the
seventeenth century Mrs. Allen, OF
Leicestershire, England, had pair of
horns. Another Englishwoman of the
same town, known as the beautiful
Mary Davis, had pair Of horns, which
were regarded as an addition to her
charms. She had them cut off four
times, but they grew again. One
growth was presented to King Henry
w., of France.
In 1887 M. Lamprey relates he found
in the African territory of Ganim sew
eral imposing types of horned men and
women. One OF these was a majestic
looking negro with two horns, which
in his case sprang one from each side
of the nose. A Mexican named Rod
rigues is described as having a horn
on the side of his head about seven
inches long, with three branches.
There are cases Of similar horns be-
ing found on dogs, horses and hares.
Malpigh calls such excrescences "a
nervous prolongatiou of the skin"
Bieschi calls them the result Of NOR
bid secretion. They are in substance
analogous to the horny growth of the
human finger nails and the claws Of
beasts.

The Tender Affections Bestowed on Their
Little Wax Figures.
Miss Jean Ingelow possessed spe-
cial waXen favorite that she named
Amelia. Amelia went everywhere Jean
did, and she was introduced to all
the agreeable people who came to the
lngelow house, her dresses were al
ways made from a piece Of whatever
cloth Jean wore, and when games or
merry times were enjoyed in the nur-
sery Amelia was placed wherever she
could take in the fun with the rest Of
the young folks. An ill-advised bath
on hot Gay was so hopelessly de-
structiye TO Amelia's painted beauty
and sawdust constitution that the In
geiow family pronounced her quite
dead. Her funeral was well attended.
and for many months Jean sorrowed
for Amelia and refused ever to take
another doll to her heart.
Not only her own big doll family,
but all dolls, fine or shabby, large or

The most magnificent palaces built
by man for dwelling places sink into
insignificance when compared with
some Of the houses constructed by In
sects. An interesting example Is the
brickmaker, who LAYS bricks with the
skill of mason, Ilaking a house Of
tiny bricks or pellets laid regularly and
so evenly there is 40 chinks between
them. It makes itS own bricks and
lays them up with no help. These
brick houses are usually fastened to
the leaf OF some water plant.
An insect called the loscule lives in a
glass h0g.s which is often found broken
by naturalists-- whether from the stones
of some enemy or not is unknown. The
hoscule has a long loot stalk which it
fastens to a water plant and remains
moored the rest OF its life. It is very
sensitive and at the slightest alarm re-
treats into its glass dwelling. When 1t
energies il seems TO be film of smoke
at first for there are glasslike filaments
attached to its lobed body which search
for food in the water which is slowed
beneath the insect In its queer trans
parent home.

THE MOUND BUILDERS

The Very Peculiar Manner in which They
Buried Their Dead.
Several centuries ago the great
plains along the rivers IN the southern
and central part Of the United States
were occupied by bands Of people call
ed now the Mound Builders. Their
chief occupation was hunting and fish
ing, but what wish to speak about
is the way In which they buried their
dead. They buried them with all their
weapons, for they thought that when
they got to the Happy Hunting
Grounds they would want them. They
did not bury their dead the way we do.
But would sit them all up on the
ground with all their possessions and
cover them up with earth, and when
more would die they would put them
right on top of the others and cover
them up with dirt, so in the course Of
years these mounds would grow until
some Of them would get to be more
than hundred feet high. Think Of all
the work 1t took to build these mounds,
for all the dirt had to be brought in
little baskets by the women and chill
dren. Don't you think that this was
curious way to bury their dead? About
two miles from where we used to live
there are two of these big mounds
right on the banks of the river. We
used to dig In them for arrow heads
and pottery. In one Of these mounds
we found part of tunnel, but this
great race of people has passed away,
leaving nothing but these huge mounds
for us to remember them by. So our
race will pass away, leaving nothing
but the ruins of our vast buildings to
mark where We have worked, lived and
died.

But the worst Of it was they would not

And were always running away.

Although he was mischievous, too.

Then came Master Lew.

But they wandered way down to the
