Parasite Of the Flea.

1t was the famous Dutch philoso-
pher, Leeuwenhock, discoverer of bac-
terra, who first traced out the history
of the flea and found that it was sub
ject to a parasite. This was a species
of mite, which preyed on it in the
chrysalis stage, and the discovery led
to Swift's Well known lines:

And so proceed ad infnitum.

Monkey Loses Appendix.

Omaha.-Senor Chimpanzee, chief of
the marmoset family for Hanscom
Park, underwent an operation for APP
pendicitis yesterday, and showed the
animal keepers at the park the cause
for recent deaths in the zoo. Incident
ally 1t was shown that the vermiform
appendix possessed by this representa-
tive simian is in all respects similar
to those sometimes worn by men just
under the watch charm. Adherents Of
the Darwinian theory at the park are
firm in the belief that the marmosets
were the first to indulge the extrava-
gance. Two inhabitants of the non
key cage died before surgery was en-
ployed to stoy the epidemic.
Dog Saves Master From Drowning.
New York.-A Newfoundland dog
rescued his master from drowning in
Gravesend bay. Edward Neary, chief
clerk in the law office Of Guggenheim,
Untermeyer & Marshall, was walking
across the ice locked bay when he
broke thru and sank, seventy yards
from shore.
His dog, who had remained on land,
ran to the edge Of the ice and when
Mr.. Neary reappeared fastened his
teeth into the neck of his sweater.
The dog held the unconscious man
while some one from a crowd Of other
ice walkers who had collected got a
plank and succeeded in bringing MI.
Neary to the shore.

William Hartman, resident of
Titusville, Pa, committed suicide
recently from a melancholy convic-
ton that he was his own grand
father. Here is the singular letter
that he left; / married a widow
who had grown up daughter.
My father visited our house very
often, fell in love with my step
daughter and married her. So my
father became my son-in-law' and
my stepdaughter my mother, be-
cause she was my fathers wife.
Some time afterward my wife had
a son; he was my fathers brother
in-law and my uncle, for ne was
the brother Of my stepmother.
My fathers wife-i. e., my step
daughter--had also a son; he was,
Of course, my brother, and in the
meantime my grandchild. for he
was the son of my daughter. My
wife was my grandmother, because
she was my mothers mother. |
was my wife's husband and grand
child at the same time. And as
the husband of a persons grand
mother is his grandfather, was
my own grandfather.
