CHOICE MISCELLANY


The Darwipian theory has recently
received more tangible support in the
Gaya district, where an infant has
been discovered who is possessed of a
tail. The case is reported to the Indian
Medical Gazette by Captain Chatter
ton, l. NJ. S., and the infant is appar-
emily causing a sensation and may in
time for aught that can be said be
worshiped rs the god of Hanuman, the
monkey god come back to earth. Cap
tain Chatterton Describes this curious
child as follows:
THE child had what appeared to be
tail. | made the following note at
the time. The spine is apparently per-
fectly normal. Over the base of the
sacrum is brawny swelling from the
lower portion of which energies per-
fectly skin cover, tail-like appendage
about three to three and half inches
long. This appendage is capable of
limited amount of motion. 1t wags
slightly when the infant takes the
breast. There is no evidence of any
bone in this tail 1t feels tough and
elastic. 1t appears to be connected by
soft tachments to the sacrum. The
tip of the coccyX can be felt in its nor
nal situation under cover of the tail
All the other parts of this baby were
normal. The parents absolutely re
fused to entertain the idea of having
the tail removed. The reason is,
think. that the fame of the baby has
already begun to spread, and I have no
doubt that by judicious management it
will prove a source of income to its
parents. "-Amrita Bazaar Patrika.

The system of grange work is so
broad and so varied and so excellent in
its conception that it appeals to the
practical common sense, good judgment
and interest of all law abiding rural
citizens, and it has awakened the well
wishes of all classes of people through
out our land. Its conception is grand,
its precepts pure, its teachings true, its
efforts high, its motives noble, and its
plans are wise Such an organization
cannot fail in its endeavor, and it will
attract the best and noblest to its sup
port. The grange is a character build
er, home maker, an educator and a
social benefactor. 1t is very closely
connected with the home, the church
and the school, the four forming one
vast intellectual chain which brings us
the richest fruits of our land.-Michi-

They were so sweet that one night she

she went on the stage.
The next night the bunch was larger,
and with it there was this badly writ
