An angel of a child in yellow curls
and 5000 black satin cloak was the
observed of all observers in a Broad
way car. She appeared to be about 10
years of age, and wore black silk
stockings and high patent leather
boots. AS the darkies would say-she
was got up regardless. Mamma was
chaperoning her. As she arose to
leave the car women gasped, exchanged
glances, whispered, nudged, stared.
What is the trouble?" 1 had courage
to ask of one next to me. 1.-THE child

black" she breathed. What did she
do?" Cant you tell, you idiot? She

HOW A SICK ANIMAL is TREATED

DR.. w. r. Blair in Geological Bulletin.
The care of wild animals in zoologl-
cal parks is usually entrusted to
"keepers'' Of the widest experience
that can be obtained. These men, as
rule, are sympathetic and intelli-
gent-two qualifications requisite for
man to become a successful keeper.
The physical examination of few
of the smaller animals-especially the
monkeys-is comparatively, easy; but
not so with one of the larger primates.
An orang, baboon or large macaque
may be SO nervous or ferocious as to
make a physical examination not only
extremely difficult, but many times
even impossible. Great care must be
taken in handling all members of the
order of primates, as they are very
sensitive creatures, Of strong likes and
dislikes, and very good memories.
One Of them may be so treated that
it would be almost impossible for the
same person ever to succeed a second
time in examining him. However, if
the subject has the good sense to real
ize that mo harm is meant, he will
usually quietly submit, according to
his natural amiability. -f
In many instances the disorder is
readily apparent, and the exact loca-

trouble. In many other cases, much

A PUP WITH A LIGNEOUs LIMB
Pittsburg Gazette.

P1ttSDurg GaZeCCe.
Allen A. Smith, a hotel proprietor
of Wheeling, w. Va, who is popularity
known as Doc Smith, created a sem
sation on Fifth avenue last evening
by walking along with a dog which
had wooden leg. The animals leg
was amputated about six weeks ago,
and Smith had a plaster cast of it
made, and from the cast was made a
wooden limb by a local manufac turer
Smith brought the dog to Pittsburg
yesterday and had the new leg fitted
on. He was on his way back to
Wheeling, and stopped in front of
Newells to- chat with some friends
and show them the miracle which had
been performed on the animal. The
dog had not grown accustomed to the
new leg and braces held it in place.
These, however, will be taken off as
soon as the animal grows accustomed
to his wooden appendange.
The dog, which is a pretty little
black and white fox terrier, when
standing still appears to have four per-
feet legs. AS a matter of fact, one
hind leg is wooden, but the wood is
covered with dog hair, which closely
matches the hide Of the animal The
wooden leg has joints, and is just like
a natural leg, and when the dog grows
used to it he WILDE as good as new. IS
