New Ornament for Women.

To remove the sorrow which many
women feel at being unable to wear
more than one pendant on her neck at
a time, a new ornament has just been
introduced in Paris in the shape of a
jewel for the back of the hand. 1t
is set with precious stones of all
kinds, and is kept in place by means
Of tiny chains connected with a gold
bracelet on one side and with two
small gold rings worn on. the first and
little fingers on the other. The jewel
has proved immensely popular in Paris
and some specimens sent to London
have found very ready sale.

WAYS OF WILD CREATURES,
Easy Victim Preferred by Those WIKI
Prey on Their Fellows.

FTey OF lnelr Fellows.
In recently published book on
fishing, w. S. Hodgson, an English
sportsman, argues that when a fish
of the salmon kind, or a pike, takes a
real minnow impaled on a flight of
hooks or a manufactured thing re-
sembling minnow the fish is moved
less by desire to eat than by a de-
sire to kill. He derives this impress
sion from the fact that "a salmon or a
trout, like pike, will leave a whole
shoal of minnows undisturbed, and
rush at an impaled minnow, or a phan.
tom" critic of the book says:
Surely this is very farfetched. Fish
and birds Of prey, like human beings,
are averse to unnecessary trouble, and
as 1t Is easier to catch a wounded
creature than fresh one. a peregrine
will take an injured grouse or a pike
q tethered or spinning bait when it
comes in his way, not because of the
instinct which leads wild animals to
kill the weaker brethren, but from
the natural tendency to take the
goods the gods provide you in the
shape OF a cheaply earned and easy
meal" 1t may be added that old
guides of northern Wisconsin hold
with Mr.. Hodgson that the muskel-
iunge strikes the bait ordinarily only
when he feels savage and desires to
kill something.

Soldiers Warm Meals.

Timed meats for the Russian troops
are prepared by process which en-
ables the contents of each tin to be
served hot without fire. This boon
is secured by having the ordinary tins
filled with food "jacketed" in patent
tins. The patent tin contains water,
together with chemical mixture, by
means of which the water can be
raised to boiling point in ten minutes
or a quarter of an hour. All that is
necessary to do when 1t is desired to
heat the food is to puncture the top Of
the patent tin, the chemical mixture
being thereby forced into the water,
which soon begins to boil.

TWO STEPS

The Last One Helps the First
A sick coffee drinker must take two
steps to be rid of his troubles and get
strong and well again.
The first step Is to cut on coffee abb
solutely.

LEPERs ABOUND IN CRETE.
All Conditions Favorable to Spread Of
Hideous Disease.


In the small island of Crete leprosy
is shockingly prevalent. The Cretans
have themselves to thank for this state
of affairs. The houses may be pretty
and whitewashed on the outside, but
within the filth is fearful. And the
food they eat is just what encourages
leprosy. The Greek religion forbids
meat about two hundred days out OF
the year, so as good Christians they
must live on salt fish, which is not
improved by its long journey from
northern seas to southern heat. The
olive oil is so plentiful-they export
twenty thousand tons each year-that
they use it to excess, even adding 1t
to the milk of rice pudding. But
the browning evil Is pork, the favorite
fare of the Cretans on days when the
church allows them to eat meat. The
leper is not cut off here as he is in
the Fiji islands or at the Cape. Out
side each village may be seen little
white house called the "leprochorion."
Here the lepers live. Their estates,
if they have any, are administered for
them by friends, and any one passing
by the door may speak to them. If
the sufferers be poor the state pro-
vides each day loaf of bread and the
charity of passersby adds the luXuries.

IS FREAK OF NATURE.
Man In England a Peculiar Case Of
Arrested Development.


There Is young man in England
who at the age OF "a is developing at
the rate OF only one-sixth of that of
the average human being. At present
he is learning his alphabet and can
count up to ten only. During the last
nineteen years he has eaten but three
meals a week, has slept twenty.four
hours and played twenty-four hours,
without the slightest variation. In
spite Of his twenty-four years he looks
no older than a boy of four or FIVE
and is only thirty-six inches In
height. For the same period his de-
velopment physically and mentally
has been at only one-sixth the OF di.
nary rate. while absolutely regular
and perfect in every other way. At
his birth this child weighed ten
pounds and in no way differed frlm
any other child. He grew and thri, ed
in the usual way until he attained
the age OF FIVE. Then his progress
was suddenly and mysteriously ar
rested, and since then six years have
been the same to him as one year to
the normal person. He has attracted
the attention Of many medical and sci
entiflc men, more than one of whom
has expressed the conviction that this
remarkable man will live to be no less
than three centuries old.-New York
