Nineteen years old and nineteen inches hgh-such are the age and stature of Fatna, the famous East Indian dwarf. His weight is thirteen pounds. Shaun Is his little sister. She is one year younger and one pound lighter. These creatures are veritable pygmies and quite different from some dwarfs in that the members are in proportion to their size Fatnas head Is about the size of an orange. and his arms are the size of broomsticks. In fact, he is a man In miniature with none of the false proportions of infants.

His Modified Tariff Views.

Pittsburg Post.
 On the tariff question there is no doubt that President Mckinley had within few months materially modified his views. In favorng commercial expansion he committed himself to reciprocity. which is simply free trade, a lowering of certain duties and a general re- form on tariff taxes and regulations, on the theory that protection in it's radical Dingley form is likely to become impeachment to the growth of our foreign trade. and especially the marketing Of our surplus manufactured products.
