White Nan Turns Black

Whether men were originally all Of
one color and subsequently assumed
their distinctive tints in the process
of becoming acclimatized TO their diff
ferent surroundings is an open ques-
ton which has given rise to much
speculation. A case is reported from
India which may prove very valuable
in assisting TO determine the matter
a soldier in the Seaforth Highland
ers. after being in India about four
years. was attacked by malaria.
Shortly after leaving the hospital he
noticed that the exposed parts
of his body were changing color. The
discoloration gradually spread to
other parts Of his body; his eyes have
changed from grey to blue, his light
brown hair is now quite dark, and the
skin Of his body appears darker in
summer than in winter, some parts
becoming quite coal black.

cept the baby, who was lying wide
awake In her little cot at the foot of
mothers bed. Just as the clock was
striking midnight, there came gen.
tie tap at the door. Baby heard it,
but no one else did, and she climbed
out Of her cot and ran to the door.
81 commin' Bunnie," she called out
as she reached up to the handle and
let the little animal in. Now 90 wait
a minnit till baby diets on her toat, Mr..
Jack Rabbit"
Then she ran to the drawer and
pulled out her little coat and bon
net and mitts and her little foot muffs.
Baby had never dressed herself before
but at midnight, between the old and
the new year, babies can do many
wonderful things which they cannot
do at any other time, but you never
see them doing these things, as they
will not do them while anybody in the
house Is awake.
1t only took baby q few minutes to
get on all her clothes. Then she open
ed the door and she and the iackrabbit
went out into the moonlight night.
AS soon as they were outside the rab-
bit got down on his knees, and baby
climbed on his back and away he
scampered, down the road, with baby
holding on by his ears.
Soon they were far away from
baby's home, so far that they could
only see the chimney. At last they
came to a hole leading down under
the ground. Down this the jackrabbit
popped, and stopped UP before lit
tie round door. He tapped at the door
and waited until it was opened by q
fat little woman In big white apron
and white busting cap.
"Ha, hal" laughed the little woman
as she took the baby off the jackrab-
bits back, and nearly smothered her
with kisses. Here Is another little
guest at Grandma Jack Rabbits New
Years party. Now Jack, shut the door
or you will freeze the little dears. Now
baby let me take off your coat and
bonnet, so that you can play with the
other children"
Baby's eyes opened wide with won
der, for there were over dozen 9TH
er little babies in the room, which was
great large one.
Now Jack" said Grandma Jack
