First Giraffe in Europe.

From the London GiODe.
Dr. Johnson. as is we'll known, refused
for many months to believe in the Lisbon
earthquake. and Parisians formerly were
lust as skeptical as to the existence of
the giraffe, a new specimen of which
has just been added to the Jardin des
Plantes The earliest specimen OF these
gentle creatures was seen in Paris in the
reign of Louis XVI. We learn from a
French contemporary that the giraffe was
first heard of in 1857. when 1t was de-
scribed by a Frenchman named Levaii-
liant, who had journeyed in the lands Of
the Hottentots and Kaff1rs. When the
explorer referred to the animals with the
long necks he was looked upon as a
Munchausen and told that he was such
in not the politest language. 1t was
only when some living specimens ar
rived in the French capital that I.evail-
lants reputation for veracity was estab-
lshed. and then the animals for a long
time formed the sensation of Paris. not
only among the multitude but in all
scientific circles.

TREATMENT OF MUSCLE STRAIN
Pains Often Mistaken for Rheuma-
tism-Rest the Cure.

From the Youths Companion.
A muscle which has been strained either
by overuse or by use in some uAaccustomed
way often gives rise to such severe symp-
toms as to lead to a diagnosis OF some
other and more serious trouble. This az
lection is not the same as that called
myalgia, which indeed means pain in a
muscle, but is usually Of rheumatic or
neuralgia nature. The trouble here meant
is something less serious. being nothing
more than a strain.
1t is easy to see that any muscular pain
may be mistaken for rheumatism or some
acute Inflammation. as it may give rise
to precisely the same painful symptoms.
For example. when it occurs In some mus.
Gle on the right side of the abdomen It
has been known to look for time exactly
like the collie of appendicitis, and 1t has
time and again been treated as true rheu-
matism.
There are several ways in which the
facts may be discovered. In questioning 1t
will be found that some muscle or certain
set of muscles has been subjected to an
unusual strain and Is in state OF mutiny
in consequence. The pain will be worse
at night and better In the morning after
the nights rest, proving that it has a
basis of fatigue. Furthermore, it will
yield entirely to a proper amount of rest.
In fact. this one thing-rest-comprises
the whole of the treatment.
When the abdominal muscles are in
volved there must be rest In bed. with
perhaps some anodyne to deaden the pain
at first-this, of course. to be given only
under the order of physician. In milder
cases the patients can go about their
usual duties If fitted properly with an abb
dominal belt.
When the muscles at the back Of the
neck are affected it Is great relief al
ways to use a highbacked chair, and when
the pain is in the arm sling should be
worn.
When this condition Of painful muscle
is found in conjunction with general loss
of tone, as shown by lack of appetite. pal
lor and debility. then in addition to local
rest to the particular muscle involved a
general course Of tonic treatment should
be instituted. When the trouble can be
traced directly to the daily vocation OF
the sufferer change should be made in
the habits for time where this is posi-.
BILE Unfortunately with most persons
their daily bread will depend upon the
use Of just this particular muscle. and
in these cases there Is nothing to do but
placate the part with all the rest that be
given it and help 1t with mechanical sup
port for a time II this is feasible.

BANK NOTES IN DUST BIN.
How They Were Discovered and Re-
turned to Owner.

From the London Chronicle.
Ten 1.OOO-franc bank notes. represent
ing the savings of a woman who lived
at Nanterre. near Paris. were hidden by
her in an old envelope. which was placed
in drawer. In a moment of forget
fitness the envelope found its way into q
dust bin.
In the morning the raspickers turned
out the bin. but tossed aside the tattered
envelope without inspection. Some carriers
happened to pass that way. They picked
up the now mud -splashed piece Of paper
one remarking to the other: Perhaps
there is fortune inside!' They drew
out the notes. "This is some fools pleas
antry." they said; so by way Of revenging
themselves on the unknown joker and
not believing the notes were genuine they
tore them to pieces and threw them aside
Two market women came along short
ly afterward. With the shrewdness Of
their class they recognized the scattered
pieces Of paper and gathered them UP and
took them to the commissary Of police.
There they were pieced together and
1t was found that none was missing
Two hours later the notes SO curiously
discovered were restored to their owner.

Diversified Farming.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The promise is that the losses resulting
from the boil weevil in Louisiana will
cause material change in the crops of
the state and tend to bring about q great
diversifcation of them. From all direc-
tons comes the information that a great
deal of land hitherto in cotton will be
differently planted next year. the planters
and farmers being unwilling to take the
bofl weevil risk.
There was q move in this direction of
dfversifcation some years ago, when the
price of cotton ranged SO low that there
was no money, il not actual loss, In it's
cultivation. The "aIl cotton" idea was

Movements Shaping Art.

From the Century.
There are at present two definite move
ments which are clearly shaping the
course of American art. One is the move
ment of expansion. which has fostered
the creation of many different and widely
distributed centers of interest; the other
is the tendency to concentrate Official
activity in a single typical spot. Owing
To the callousness of New York, the
retrospective habits of Boston. the avowed
internationalism of Pittsburg and the
fact that Philadelphia has always had
a special mission to fulfill. these cities
must In time give place to some more
logical focal point. nor is 1t a very diff
cult matter to designate that particular

George w. Parkman, dying in Bos-
ton, left half of his $S,000000 estate
for the maintenance of the city's
parks, and the fact was chronicled in
few paragraphs. Yet this benefac-
ton was approximately eight times as
great as Smithson's bequest to the

to Tufts College, which passed al
most unnoticed.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and hiatt is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
the tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
