DwARFs IN THE pYRESEEs.
IheOrI OF Their Origin Derived From
Their Legendary History.
From Cosmos.

There has long dwelt in the heart of
the Pyrenees, On the old Catalonian border
of Spain, race of dwarfs, supposed by
some to be of Tartar origin.
They inhabit the valley of the Ribas in
the northwestern part of the Spanish prov
ince row called Corona. They never exceed
formed legs, great bellies, small eyes, fiat
noses and pale, unwholesome complications
They are usually stupid, often to the verge
of idiocy, and much subject to goitre and
scrofulous affections. The chief town of
the Ribas valley is Ribas a place of 200
lnha b1tants, about 800 feet above sea level
The mountains rise about the town to a
height Of 5000 to 5000 feet, and command
an amazingly beautiful panoram ma of noun
tain. plain and river, with Spanish cities
visible upon the one side and French upon
the other. The region is rich, both agri-
culturally and minerally, and is famous
for its medicinal springs In this paradise
dwell the dwarfs, perhaps as degraded a
race of men and women may be found
In any civilized community. They are al
most without education, and inhabit
wretched huts when they have any shell
ter. The most intelligent are employed as
shepherds, and in summer they live for
months at an elevation of more than 5000
feet without shelter. Here they see no
human creature save some of their own
fifteen or twenty days with a supply of
food
1t Is said that formal marriage is almost
unknown among them. The women in some
instances are employed in the village of
Ribas as nurses for children, and as such
are found tender and faithful. Before
communication throughout the region was
as easy as it is now 1t was thought lucky
to have one of these dwarfs in a family,
and the dwarfs were hired out and even
sold to be used in beggary in neighboring
cities. There are somewhat similar dwarfs
in other valleys of the Pyrenees, but the
number Is decreasing, and those of the
Ribas valley are reduced to a few indi-
viuuals.
The writer rejects the theory of Chi
nese origin for the dwarfs, and believes
that they are merely the degenerate de-
scendaEts of the ordinary natives. ill-nour-
ished for generations upon a diet of pota-
toes and black bread. The fact that with
improved means of communication the
dWarfs are decreasing helps to confirm the
writer's theory, ana he believes that with
proper nourlshment and decent shelter
their descendants would gradually return
to the normal type Meanwhile the neigh
bors of the dwarfs look upon them with a
curious mixture of feelings. The fact that
the dwarfs drink much at a particular
mineral spring has given rise to a super
stition that whoever drinks of it will be-
ccme defOrmed and the normal natives are
Mortified to see visitors experimenting with
the dreaded waters. There is reason to
believe that the waters of the spring are
beneficial to the Stomachs of well-nour-
are accustomed to an unwholeSome diet.
and it is entirely possible that the iil-fed
dwarfs have been injured by drinking of
the spring.

From Hnrper's Bazaar.
The Irish butler had a statuesque pres
ence and a good pair of calves. but he
could smash mere china in a given time

he would smash ordinary china. Dresden.

New Year morning came. and MIR. De-

Yes. sor: will, sar," was the reply.
VERY well; be sure you do said Mr..
Debenture, as he left the dining room.
An hour later there was loud crash
somewhere in the Eear of the house, and.
with a look Of apprehension on her face,
Mrs. Debenture, hurYiedly opened the din

What's he breaking now?' Debenture
growled. ,1ife.;
"Breaking!" gaaped the Mortified woman.

Debenture stepped TO her side. listened a
moment and then hurried out to the but

floor. 20

Patents I'm England.

From the London Times
1t may be interesting to notice that the
number of applications for patents during
the year 1897 was no fewer than 3O,a36
The applications In 1886 numbered In the
aggregate 30.19l, as compared with 25,OG5
In 1885. 1t must not be supposed. however,
that all these applications lead to complete
patents. In 1856, with its 30. applica-
tons. only II, 500 were Completed, the rest
being allowed to lapse after the nine
months protection. The inventions COM
prise every class Of manufacture that can
be Imagined. but principally engineering
Not few Of the applicants for patents are
women. of whom there were nearly TOO in
1895. about $50 of these inventions relating
to dress.

John G.. Calhoun. like Madison, broke
down his health by overWork1ng as a
student He had no opportunity OF
general reading until he was thirteen
years of age, when he visited ms
brother-in-law, a Presbyterian clergy
man. There was a circulating library
in the house. and in fourteen weeks
Young Calhoun read the whole stock
of historical works within it, consisting
of Rollins Ancient History, Robertson'S $
Charles " and America, and Voltalre's S
Charles the Twelfth. He did not seem
to care for novels, but after finishing
these he turned to Cooks Voyages. He
was working away at Locke on the
Understanding when his health gave
out His eyes became sore, he grew
pale and thin, and his mother sent for
him to come home and turn his atten-
ton to hunting, fishing and other coun-
try sports. He passed four years in
this way. and then went to Yale Col
lege. He was q man Of wide reading,
and often surprised specialists by his
knowledge of their branch of the pro-
LESSONS or sciences. A naval officer
once said that he did not like him, be-
cause he never liked a man who knew
more about his profession than he did.
Professor Brady. the noted photo
grapher, once told me that when he
took Calhoun's daguerrotype he was
surprised by his knowledge of the then
comparatively unknown art of photo
graphy, and that Mr.. Calhoun In two
hours conversation taught him some
things concerning matter upon which
he (Mr. Brady, then the recognized
authority of the country, was ignorant.
