POOR BABY.
A Philadelphia Father Is Bound to
Make u Wonder of His Yenr-
Old Infant.

There is a physician in West Philadel
phia who has son one year old ana
this baby is probably the strongest hui
man being for its age and weight in the
world. Its father will hold a cane in
his two hands and the baby, grasping
it, will draw itself up to its chin three
times. That is but one of its numerous
feats of strength. The physician says
that his boys unusual muscular devei-
opment is due to daily massage treat
ment. Every morning he lays the lite
fellow. naked, on a blanket and kneads
his muscles for 30 minutes. Once a
month he weighs the baby and meas
ures its calves, chest, arms, etc. The
monthly increase of weight and girt b
is remarkable. The baby has never had
shoes or stockings on its feet or a hat
on its head, and III the summer it wears
only little sleeveless dress that comes
to its knees. 1t takes cold bath every
morning.
IF nothing goes wrong" the physi-
cian often declares, this child Will be
o,ie of the strongest men the world has
ever seen. He will never get bald, and
he will never lose tooth. AS for lis
muscles, with massage and a course Of
exercise that | have laid out, they will
be big and supple all over his body. All
his flesh will be, when tense, as hard
as steel, and when relaxed as soft as the
flesh of young girl"

REMEMBERED PARTING.
After Three Years of Separation
Naval officer and His Spouse
Exchange Greetings.

Navy families are used to separations.
a middle aged officer of the navy left
Washington three years ago for a
cruise on the China station, says the
Post. On the evening that he left his
wife herself prepared an especially
dainty dinner for him, the bill of fare
winding up with strawberry shortcake.
Only half the shortcake could be eaten
by the family, SO heartily had they par
taken of the other viands, and the Of
ficer said to his wife: You can Just
put the remaining half of that short
it tomorrow" He forgot for the mo-
ment that he was going away that
night. His wife went down to the
station with him and among the final
instructions she gave him was an i'm
perative command to have his hair
trimmed as soon as he reached San
Francisco. The officer had, absent
mindedly, permitted his hair to grow
rather long.
He returned to Washington recently,
after an absence of a month more than
three years. His wife met him at the
station. After their first salutation
she said to him, smiling:
Il observe that you obeyed orders
and had your hair cut"
Eyes, my DEAR" replied the officer,
"and did you save me that bit of straw
berry shortcake?"

BRAVE JAPANESE WOMEN.
How Count Ito's Wife Saved His
Life During Rebellion
Many Years Ago.

A japanese lady is noted for her
courage, her strength of mind and her
self-possession. 1t is wonderful to
think what physical trials and dangers
these fragile little creatures will under
go in an emergency. The late prime
minister's life was saved by the cour-
age and presence OF mind of his wife.
Many years ago, when quite young
man, during rebellion, Count Ito was
hiding from his enemies, who, having
tracked him to his house, send band
of ''soshis" to assassinate him. On
hearing his enemies approaching, and
trapped like a rat in its hole, che count
drew his sword ard prepared to die,
but the countess whispered: 'Do not
die; there is hope STILL and, removing
the "hibatchi," or fire box, and lifting
up the mats ard the planks beneath, she
induced her husband to conceal himself
III the hollow space which exists under
the floor of all japanese houses. The
murderers broke into the room just as
the fire box had been replaced and de-
manded of the countess their victim.
In vain they threatened and cruelty i'll
treated her, dragging her about the
room by her long black hair. But it
was of no avail: they could not shake
her resolute fidelity. Thanks to her
courage Count Ito escaped and has
lived to give to his country new con-
stitutiOn.

4 SOPORIFIC PLANT.
Cows and Horses Are Peculiarly At
fected by One That Grows
in Texas.

Mr.. Gillespie, of Edinburgh, has
notion of certain plants found in Rus
STA and in America, says the Boston
Transcript These plants are known
to botanists under the name of stipa.
On the Mediterranean coast, where the
stipa grows in profusion, it is called
virgins fax, aud because of its beauti-
full blossoms is used extensively for
bouquets. In Texas and New Mexico
species of this plant, called stipa
viridula, possesses soporific qualities.
Cowboys and herders of the west, where
the plant grows luxuriantly, often find
to their establishment that their cows
and horses are suddenly overcome with
sleepiness, accompanied with great
weakness. They are rendered incapa-
BILE of travelling and cannot exert them
selves without great effort. Horses and
cows are affected alike. The head falls
low, the body trembles, the breath
comes with difficulty and the heart
beats unanimously. Accompanying. this
there is profuse sweating exhaustion.
The poor animal seems violently sick.
However, in few days his state be-
comes normal again.
Strangely enough, sheep are not al
fected by this plant. AS an experiment,
Mr.. Gillespie inoculated frogs and rab-
bits with an extract from the stipa
viridula. After the injection the ami
mails were apparently seized with hal
fluctuations and suffered the anxiety
and paralysis of a strong narcotic

had known Willows in his days of re-
spectability in a small Michigan town.
She urged her husband to do what he
could for ha, and, with money for at

words of commentator, Willows was
helped to get out of the scrape. The
lunch-counter man was close personal
friend of the old man Niece, and liked

murder. The lunch-counter man lost
his best friend through needless and

while the room In which her sister had been placed
was at times unelean, 1t must necessarily be so.
owing to her sisters habits. 1t was however.
cleaned regularly, and the ventilation was as good
