Isaac. who could eat anything and
everything. | never saw such an aT'-
petite. Still, he couldn't get fat.
During one particular wee we had
two fat women on exhibition. Big
Laura MILFORD was the star and Hat
tie Bowen was the other. Laura was
colcred, Hattie white. Laura weighed
almost a thousand pounds and Hattie
a little less than 800. A Circassion
girl could be made in a few minutes.
All that was needed was luxurient
head of hair or a good white wig.
Nothing else was needed except a
little bleaching material for the long
haired girl Jo-Jo and Creo were the
once-famous hair man and woman.
Both were completely covered with
hair-real hair, too. There was moth.
ing fake about them. The camel girl
was a funnylooking object. WheneVr
she walked she walked away from
herself. From the thighs down her
legs turned the wrong way. If she

'Ivanovitch," the Siberian exile,
was one of the most versatile exhib-
its. He was hideous little fellow,
nearly coered with hair. One day he
would be the exile. Next day he
might go into a cage and be a wild
man. He was a better salary for be-
ing wild man, but it didn't make
much difference to him which he was
Ii anything he would rather play the
exile, because the wild man had to
try to eat raw meat. Ivanovitch didn
like that very much Trip was the
armless wonder He used to travel
with Barnum's. Trip was really good
He could write, sew, feed himself, and
do anything else merely by the use of
his toes. We had a girl, too, who
was born without arms. She went

Next to the Circassion girls snake
charmers were easiest found. Any
body could go into cage with the
snakes. Bill Doris had the largest
one that ever played Cleveland. One
OF them died at the museum. 1t swal-
lowed big wooden blanket and
choked to death. Sad end for him.
The blanket got caught in his teeth.
You know their teeth slant backward,
so that whenever food is swallowed
it has to remain in the stomach until
1t is digested. That is what queered
this reptile. The ossified man | found
UP in Canada. | brought him down
here by paying the expenses of him
self and his son and giving them a lit.
tie money. They stirred up the most
attention the museum ever had.
Myrtle Corbin, one of our four
legged girls was good drawing caro-
until she was married. Annie Jones
was the best bearded lady we ever
had. She married a lecturer with a
museum. 1t is peculiar thing about
freaks that practically all of them are
married. They marry each other. or
they marry someone who wants to
get in on the salary they make. We
got lot of free advertising out Of
Lizzie Mills, the big-footed girl. We
had an offer published of $500 to any.
one who would marry her. We never
had to make good with the money.
for no one would take her If her feet
were concealed she was really a nice
looking girl. She had an attack of
elephantiasis, guess.

Food and Environment,

"Bullfnches fed on hempseed turn
quite black" said naturalist.
Horses kept in coal mines for several
years become covered with soft,
thick fur like a mole. The mastiff of
Tibet who in the Tribetan highlands
has a heavy coat of wool, loses his
coat completely when he is brought
down to the plains. The ermine, in
his snow-infested home, turns white in
the winter, but If be is taken for the
winter to a warm climate he does not
turn white at all. Quite amazing,
altogether, are the changes that with
food and environment we can affect
on all living creatures-even man"

Be Longest Lived.


The doctrine of yegetar;anism ap.
pears to be slightly shaken by the re-
suit of an investigation that an Eng

ject of the longevity of birds. With
one notable exception the carrion or
meat feeding birds are the longer
lived. The exception is the swan.
The average ages of some Of the best
known birds are given in the follow
ing: Black bird lives IL years; black
cap, Is; canary, "a crane, "a; crow,
100; eagle, 100; fowl, common. 10;

pelican, so; pheasant, Is; pigeon, 20;
raven, 100; robin, II; skylark, 80;
sparrow hawk, 40; swan. 100; thrush,

age of the boarding house variety OF
chickens is still undetermined.
