There is a physician in West Philadelphia who

ably the strongest human being for its age and
weight in the world. Its father Will hold a cane
in his two hands and the baby. grasping IT, " II
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
development is due to a daily massage treat
ment. Every morning he lays the little fellow,
naked. on a blanket and kneads his muscles for
thirty minutes. once month he weighs the
baby and measures its calves. chest. arms etc
The monthly increase Of weight and girth are
remarkable. The baby has never had shoes or
stockings on its feet a hat on its head. and IN
the summer IL wears only little sleeveless dress
that comes to its knees. IL gets cold bath
every morning. "If nothing goes wrong the
physician often declares, this child Will toe one
OF the strongest men the world has ever seen.
He will never get bald and he will never lose

is conservative estimate of the time

There are wonderful stories afoat

though the medical fraternity decried
him as charlatan His method was
the simplest in the world Instead of
giving his patients list Of things
which they were forbidden to eat he
gave them menu Of the things which
they might partake of, with small
changes in that diet. He exercised
sort of mysterious influence upon his
patients He did not write out the pre-
scriptions himself, but dictated them
to his patients. Nor did he permit any
contradiction 'You need not write
down what dictate, but in that case
you must not send for me- .

Italians md Music.

The Italians cannot give the artists
large sums of money, for they haven't
the money to give. but they can give
discriminating appreciation. With them
the love of music is not forced cul-
ture, propagated by societies and clubs,
and affected as fad by society people
who go to an opera to talk over-their
troubles. No, it is genuine sincere,
indigenous to the atmosphere and the
national life The artist does not re-
ceive so many invitations to dine with
rich enthusiasts who are less than one
generation removed from "Old Dan
Tucker" and jay Bird, I" but he is
sincerely worshiped by all classes. Even

Then drunken Ivan fell also over the
body of his beloved companion and
walled and howled aloud, crying out,
with many Russian adornments Of
speech, that his dear friend and the
source of his very living had been taken
from him to make sport for kings.
"What does the fellow mean?" cried
the delighted car "Did he not sell us

Certainly, majesty" said Arnheim.

Meanwhile Arnheim piled the file
upon the nose ring and was able to re-
move this before the czar had done with
Ivan.

emily noticed the score in bruins nos
trils and inquired what the mark
meant. Holstein rose to the emergency.
..That must have been your majesty S

you could scarcely have missed, judg-

Paul had never been seen in so amia-

rewarded and decorated all concerned,
and the matter would have passed off
magniicently had it not unfortunately
occurred to his majesty a couple of
days later to send for Ivan He would
shoot another bear. he said Ivan should
find him another
So Ivan, still very drunk, was usher
ed into the presence and left alone with
his majesty.
What passed at the interview cannot
with accuracy be described. but it is
certain that Ivan presently departed

Holstein from this hour was no longer
a persona grata at court and soon left
for Berlin.
But the bearskin remained to prove
to all and sundry that, though a czar
and unable to devote his time, which
belonged to the state. to such pursuits,
his majesty could face the 6ercest of
wild beasts, if he liked, as bravely as
another-aye. and overthrow him with
the best.
Moreover, there was not Il trace of a
ring mark about the snout.
And the friends of Professor Dubinof
of the Academy of Arts all agreed that
the czar was ever ready to reward mag
ni6cently the work of those who served
him we'll, for his majesty decorated that
eminent scientist who superintendent
the curing and setting up of the Dear
skin, with the order of ST. Anne of the

The skin certainly was beautifully
prepared, and what is still more to the
credit of the professor is that instead Of
