Mother and Son Crippled.

Roy Stephens, 14-year-old boy en-
ployed by the Ottawa Republic, had
both feet badly mashed in printing
press. The amputation of six toes
was found to be necessary and it is
possible that another must be taken
off. One great toe is among those
removed and the other, great toe is
the one likely to require amputation.
The boy will be made a permanent
cripple as the result of his unfor-
tunate accident. The matter is made
all the more unfortunate by the fact
that the boys mother, Mrs. Charles
Stephens, is victim of paralysis
from the waist down and is powerless
to move from place to- place except
as her son propels her in a wheeled
chair.

in refusing to allow the employees
of his department to contribute.

to the matter came from Washing

ITALIAN MARIoNETTEs.
the Entertain me nj of PIaygoers
In That Country.

1t remained for the Italians, how
ever. to bring marionettes to their
highest state of development, and
wonderful indeed is the ingenuity of
their shows. We saw a remarkable
clever performance given by fam
toccini last year under the colon
nades of the Municipio at 0rta. On
carefully examining the dolls, we
found them to be not entirely made
Of wood. The head was of papier
mache-light and capable of feeling
the slightest impulsion, and provided
with hinged lower jaw arranged to
initiate the movements of talking.
The body and thighs We're wooden;
the arms. legs and neck of lead, or
loaded so as to readily obey the laws
of gravity. All the strings destined
to move the arms and legs united in
side the body and issued together
from the head. 4 metal rod con-
nected this latter with the operator
in his ''castello," and by it the mani
kin could be moved about the stage,
writes Ernest G. Peixotto, in Scrib-
ner's Magazine.
The play dealt with peasant life,
relating the trite story of a country
lass who. despite the allurement of
the city and the attentions of a great
gentleman, remains true 20 her rus
tic swain; of Rosalia, her mother,
and Pietro, her father-a cobbler
with just enough work to keep his
family from starvation. and the
roices of their hungry children call
fng from behind the scenes for

that for low comedy was absolute
ly inimicable, and well do remem-
ber dancing giant who dropped first
his arms, then his legs, and finally
his head, each of which, with the
body, became separately waltzing fig
ures.
Some years ago. for now the
vogue has almost died away, the Ital-
ian mobiles gave fantoccini shows in
their private palaces-plays reeking
with escapades of the Roman mon
signori and political satire that dared
not show its face on public boards.

May Have That Eject In
some Cases.

ibid you ever notice the peculiar
habit some men have of swapping
their fingers while trying to recall
something which has escaped their
minds for the moment?" asked man
who keeps keen lookout for the
curious in human nature, according
to the New Orleans Times-D Democrat.
'Now, here Is curious study. and
one which, If pursued. may throw
much light on a very interesting sub
ject. Anything relating to memory,
the retentiveness Of the human mind.
is always Of interest to me, and I
have noted with much concern these
curious physical manifestations when
the mind picture becomes so OBJ
scure that its lines are lost. Why
should a man snap his fingers when
he temporarily forgets thing? Does
this physical movement aid the mem
tai processes? Does the fact prove
the material basis Of the mind? It
must show very intimate connec-
tion between the two. After all, the
intimacy existing between the mind
and the body is very close, and per-
sonally, have always believed in the
theory which teaches us that psychol-
ogy has a psychological basis and can
have no other basis. The simple habit
of swapping the fingers when ones
memory fails for the moment would
seem to offer proof of the fact. Curl
ously enough this same condition, a
psychological movement, will mani
fest itself in many ways under sim
liar circumstances. All men do not
snap their fingers when there is
mental lapse which they are seeking
to overcome. They find other ways
of bridging the gap. One man will
pat his foot when he forgets tempo
rarily. Another will bite his lip, or
place his finger against his temple,
or rub one hand across his forehead,
or resort to some other effort to slim
ulate his tagging memory. Why is
this? Is ones memory really aided
by these physical movements? 1t
must be. Else humanity would have
dropped them long ago. Almost
every man, when he forgets some
thing. name. for instance, which Is
right on the end Of his tongue, will
make some kind Of physical effort to
conjure the proper image from its
hiding place in the brain cells. Why
It is so do not know. know mere
" that II happens. and I suppose II
answers some good purpose"

CANNOT FIND ITS SPECIES.
Singular Animal Brought from the
East Indies Puzzles English
NaturnIists.

A very fine example of the bin
turong (arctictis binturong) has
been received at the geological gar
dens, says the London Standard Of
recent date. This curious animal is
a native of the East Indies, ranging
from Assam southwark through
Siam and the Malay peninsula to
Sumatra and Java. A large speci-
men will measure about five feet
In total length, Of which the tail
counts for nearly half. The long.
coarse hair is black, but there is q
gray wash on the head and fore
limbs and there is little white over
the eyes and on the throat; the ears
are short and carry long tufts Of
hair. Its English book aame, "bear
cat" is modelled ON its generic ap-
pellation and records che difficulty
early naturalists experienced in as
certaining the animals true place in
their schemes of classification.
Although it was at one time placed
with the bears, it is now regarded
as closely allied TO the palm civets.
In matters of diet the binturong is
not hard to please. When opportuni-
ty serves it win take small NAM
mails, birds, insects and worms.
When these cannot be secured it will
support itself on fruits, and in cap
tivity it will take fruit of all kinds
readily. The binturong is more ac-
tive by night than in the daytime,
and lives almost entirely among the
branches of the trees of the forest
regions in which it is found. Il is
remarkable as being the only true
mammal of the eastern hemisphere
which has a prehensile tail. 1t can
wind this organ around branch and
thus the tail aids the animal in its
arboreal life.
Blyth showed, many years ago.
that the young of this species could
hang on to bough by the tip Of
the tail. Whether the adults can
suspend themselves in this manner
has been doubted. There can, how
ever. be no question that the tail is
Of considerable service to them, and
that they use this fifth hand as
holdfast. The example which has
Just arrived at the gardens is near

is fairly tame. for. with a little coax
ing, it win come to the front of the
cage TO take fruit from visitors.

rances too near it darts forward
