A recently acquired abnormality of
the British museum is the skull Of an
English horse showing pair of
rudimentary horns on the forehead.
Older specimens are a portion Of a
similar skull with the horns and mod
els OF the foreheads of two thorough
breds having horns. The skin extends
uniformly over the horns, with no sign
of thickening or hardening Just what
these hornlike growths signify is per-
picking naturalists, as none of the an

there is no hereditary influence it is
remarkable that so many freak ap-

To Mothers.

You mothers-quit being fools. If
you are bound to bring children into
the world, for Gods sake take proper
care of them. The Italian mother Of
the lowest, the middle and the high
est class wraps her baby in bandages
until its backbone is strong enough to
support the little devil The Indian
mother in the early days of our coun-
try carried her pappoose in withes
until it could walk, and there we have
the familiar phrase, "as straight as an
Indian" You will find among all
heather nations in every part of the
world the infants bound up in some
sort Of way until they can walk erect.

mush. Brace-i up.-New York Press.

"The DEVILS Bible"

The volume which is called the
devils Bible" is in the library Of
the royal palace of Sweden. 1t is a
huge copy Of the Scriptures, written
on 300 prepared asses skins. One re-
port says that it took 500 years to
complete this copy, which is so large
that it has a table by itself. Another
tradition says that 1t was completed
in a single night, due to the assistance
OF his Satanic majesty who, when the
work was finished, gave the monk a
portrait of himself for frontispiece.
The illuminated likeness of the devil
still adorns the front page of the work
The volume was carried of by the
Swedes in the Thirty Years War from
a convent in Prague.
