A Famous Dwarf.

Godfrey Hudson, the famous dwarf
of Charles L., was introduced at court
during the festivities attending the
coronation. By an odd conceit he was
concealed in IL cold pie. the crust of
which being removed disclosed the
dwarf fully dressed and making his
bow to the king and queen. AT the
age of twenty he was eighteen inches
high, but before attaining the age of
thirty he grew several inches addi-
tional. Godfrey, like most dwarfs. was
of limited intelligence, but Of intense
vanity and large self conceit. 1t is as
serted by many scientific authorities
that this is Il characteristic of dwarfs.

The Thrice-a-Week World hopes

made Its arrangements accordingly.
Its news surface covers the entire
globe, and it reports everything fully,
promptly and accurately. 1t is the
only paper, not daily, which,is as
good as a daily, and which will keep
you as completely informed of what
is happening throughout the world.
The Thrice a-Week World is fair
IN its political reports. You can get
the truth from its columns, whether
you are Republican or Democrat, and
that is what you want.
y special feature of the Thrice-a
Week World has always been It's
serial fiction. 1t publishes novels by
the best authors in the world, novels
which in book form sell for $3.50
apiece, and its high standard in this
respect " ill be maintained in the
future as in the past.

Electricity.

The electrical properties Of amber
were known to the Greeks before the
christian era. Electricity takes its
name from the Greek word for amber
Gilbert in 1900 was the first to employ
the terms electric force" and electric
attractions" In las Franklin's elec
trical researches had progressed so far
that lie killed a turkey by the electric
spark and roasted it by an electric
Jack before fire kindled by the cleo
trio bottle, and in 1852 by means of the
Kite experiment he demonstrated the
identity of electricity and lightning
The first magneto-electric machine was
made at Paris by PiNii in 1882; the
first telegraph line in the United
States was set up between Washington
and Baltimore in 1874; the first sub
marine cable was laid between Eng
land and France in 1850. AS early as
1902 Sir Humphry Davy produced an
electric light with carbon points on al
most the same principle as that now
employed. The first electric railway
on the continent of Europe was built
by Siemens Mt Berlin in 1881, the first
in England was constructed in 1882,
and in America the first electric line
was built in 1855.

The rip of the Alllsator.2 Tail.

A great delicacy in Florida, accord
ing to the Cleveland Leader, is the tip
of an alligator's tail. 1t tastes like
frogs legs. though Il bit more gamy.
Alligator tails are best just after the
ricebird season. The big nlligators
float in the water with only their eyes
showing. When they see flock of
these fat, juicy little birds they dive
to the bottom. Their long, wide saout
scoops up some of the loan. and they
float to the surface again with just the
rich soil showing. The birds think il
is an island. They alight upon it,
When the whole family is there the big
reptile turns suddenly. Just as the
birds scramble off lie opens his mouth
once. They are gone. The birds are neat
little feeders, and the alligator is an
epicure ut this time of the year. The
ricebird diet makes the tip of his tail,
of which lie is most vain, tender and
sweet

Dangers of Pneumonia.

\ cold at this time if neglected is
liable to cause pneumonia which is
so often fatal. and even when the
patient has recovered the lungs are
weakened, making them peculiarly
susceptible to the development Of
consumption. Foleys Honey and
Tar will stop the cough, heal and
strengthen the lungs and prevent
pneumonia. La Grippe coughs
yield quickly to the wonderful cura-
tive qualities of Foley's Honey and
Tar. There is nothing else Just as
good. 1-Anders & Philip.
