Long Armed Animals.

Orang outangs the name means
"wild man of the woods'D have arms
so long that they can touch the ground
with the tips of their fingers when
standing quite upright. This no doubt
has been brought about to some extent
by the creatures living for countless
ages in trees and being thus compelled
constantly to use their upper limbs in
getting about.
An interesting fact bearing upon the
point is that, man for man. sailors have
longer arms than soldiers, because they
have to use these limbs more in climb
ing. rope hauling and other kinds of ex-
ercise which bring them prominently
into play and thus strengthen and
lengthen them.

Koch's Re.earche. on Malaria.

In the report just published on his
study of malaria in Italy Professor
Koch says the infection of malaria is
especially maintained and propagated
by the relapsing cases which continue
all the year round and form the link
between one fever season and the next,
SO that the mosquitoes in the beginning
of summer always find germs. If
relapse occurred in any of the cases
malaria in any given district, the mos
quitoes would find no germs in the be-
ginning of summer. and malaria would
become extinct there. The professor

autumnal fevcrs were identical with

STORY OF A DOLL.
How "a Little Girl Learned the Lesson
of "HoldinG Tight"

of "HoIding on Tight
When 1 was little girl, mamma
gave me Il large doll. This new dolly
was very pretty, for she had round,
rosy cheeks. bright blue eyes and black
curly hair of course make believe hair,
for she had a china head and a kid
body.
My dolly when mamma gave her to
me was dressed in a gown of lovely
blue silk and cunning white apron
trimmed with lace, and upon her feet
were some little black kid shoes, or
''ankle ties" oh, how L loved dear,
pretty dolly,
l could not think of a name nice
enough for my precious china baby I'M
til one Saturday afternoon, when
school did not keep, mamma took me
to a show" where 1 saw some little
people," pretty little dwarf people. 1
well remember Tom Thumb and Law
MIA Warren, a tiny grown up man and
u tiny grown up woman not much lar
ger than good sized dolls. On the way
home l said, "Oh, mamma, l am going
to name my dolly Lavinia Warren"
Near the house where lived when
little girl there was a stone wall, and L
loved to go out there with Lavinia in
my arms and climb up and sit on the
wall and look off at the fields of green
grass and watch the little birds hop
ping about in the trees and gaze up at
the broad blue sky beyond the treetops.
1 was a very little girl, you know,
and mamma often told me 1 was care
less and forgetful, therefore l must
have been naughty sometimes and not
have tried to remember to "hold on

took me by the hand and went with me
to the spot where headless Lavinia was
lying. Her dear little kid arms and her
little upturned feet and her pretty face
all scattered about her caused me to
cry more than ever. I shall never for

Mamma bought me another dolly,

Remedy For Cockronche..

In a bulletin of the United States de-

gives a simple remedy for cockroaches.
which will be interesting to housekeep-

New Light From Science.
An Illustration of the new lights
which science throws upon old ques-
lions is the modern explanation of an
made nearly three centu-
ries ago by the Flemish physician Van
Helmont. In n pot of earth weighing
200 pounds he planted n willow branch
weighing five pounds. He kept the
plant well watered, and in five years
the willow had gained 164 pounds in
weight, while the earth in the pot had
lost only two ounces. Van Helmont
inferred that the pFpnt's gain was due
only to the water which had been sup
piled. Modern botanical science proves
that the gain was in a great measure
due to the carbon absorbed from the
air.

HAT PIN REMOVED FROM A GIRT,s
SIDE AFTER YEARS OF
SUFFERING
NEARLY FOUR INCHES LONG
Extraordinary Fact That She Cam
not Remember When or How
the Pin Became Imbedded
In Her Side.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, May 16.-(special)
Miss Barbara K. Nobel eighteen years,
daughter of Mrs. A. Knobel, of Altoona,
mas been an invalid for three years. What
the trouble was puzzled the state doc
TOR In Chippewa valley. Miss Knobel
complained of a pain in her side, and
not only DID the doctors do all they
could. but she was operated on in the
hospital for what is known as floating
kinney, but all to no purpose. Mrs. Hen
r1ettle Williams, hearing of the case,
mentioned 1t to her husband, who owns
an A-ray machine, and both concluded
1t might be case for the X-rays. A
doctor was called, and to the astonish-
ment OF all, long slender metallic po MT
was discovered in her right side imbed-
ded in the muscles. The doctor cut into
the flesh and extracted a steel hat pin
three and one-fourth inches in length
There was no head to the hat pin, and 1t
had evidently been working it's way to
and fro in her system for years
What is still more extraordinary,
neither the girl nor any of her family
can remember any accident whatever
that could cause the admission of a steel
wire nearly four inches in length into
her system. Since the operation, May H.
the girl has experienced great relief, and
expects to be as strong as ever in a
short time.
