THE CAMELOPARD AT HOME

The giraffe divides with the ele-
plant and the hippopotamus the won.
der of the gaping crowds at the menag-
erie, the three animals being so fun
damentally unlike anything in our
staid north temperate zone. Seen in
his natural surroundings in the heart
of Africa, he is, says DR.. w. S. Rains
ford, in the Outlook, still more strik-
ing and interesting sight.
The giraffe is perfectly harmless; he
was never known to hurt any one, and
he gets his living off the upper boughs
Of thorn trees, which nobdy can reach
but himself, and no one else would
eat if it could reach them.
To see the CRATES beautifully mot
tied skin towering up among and over
the fiat green thorn trees is surely one
of the strangest and most beautiful
sights the animal world offers man.
AS he stands and dips and bends and
twists his nine-foot-long neck in and
out among the armed branches of the
tree he is grace persOnified.
I saw once seven of these creatures,
the king, his harem and his children,
all gathered round one green-topped
tree. From seven points of vantage
they dipped into it at once, STOPPING
under an unusually thinly armed
bough bending on another. Their
necks seemed to twist two or three
ways at once.
had the good fortune to be able to
come very near without alarming them
less than 100 yards-and with MY
glass could see them as if they were
not more than ten yards away. But
when at last the treacherous breeze
betrayed us, and they plunged into
f1ight-well, no one could call their
movements graceful
The immensely long fore legs are
thrown forward, as you see a very
housekeeping horse sometimes throw
his fore legs forward, till the hoof, for
the fraction of second, is pointed
straight out in front. The giraffe
makes this motion with q sort of Jerk
at the end OF 1t, as II he intended in
the first instance to fling his hoof as
far forward as he could, and then with
with sort Of afterthought brings 1t
to the ground. AS it reaches earth he
founders forward with his high shout
ders, and lifts both ungainly hind legs
together, lifting and planting them to-
gether. or almost together.
There Is great antediluvian lizard
known to us which had two brains,
one to move his body and another to
move his abnormally long tail. 1t
looks as If the giraffe, like the long
lizard, needed two brains also, one to
move his hind legs and another to
move his fore legs. and as IL the two
brains would not act perfectly to-
gether.

A City with All the Finish of
Paris or n Berlin.
Buenos Aires, the capital of the Ar
gentine Republic, is in some respects
the most cosmopolitan city in the
world No important European nation
but has contributed it's capital and its
people to the upbuilding of this great
metropolis 1t also has the distinction
of being the second city of Latin pop
ulation in the world, being larger than
the largest cities in Italy and Spain.
There is perhaps no city which ex
hibits greater variety Of pleasing
contemporary styles of domestic archi-
lecture The city council tries to en-
courage beautiful building by annually
offering a gold medal to the architect
who is found to have planned the most
attractive facade and by freeing from
the building tax the building thus ia
vored
The outward aspect of Buenos Aires
is rather that of European than of
an American capital. 1t has all the
finish of Paris or a Berlin. The alb
sence of the irregular sky line, caused
in North American cities by the ex-
IRENE height of some business build
1ngs as well as the fact that the
ground of the city is quite uniformly
built upon, even in the more outlying
regions, keeps the city from present

POSSIBLY you ARE NOT LAZY.

Famous Physician Says WearAnsss
IL Result of Physical Conditions.
Sir Lauder Brunton, the famous
English physician, says that WEAKNESS
is the result of physical conditions
and the chronically tired are not al
ways lazy. !.
One constantly hears the complaint
from patients" writes Sir Lauder,
that they are always tired Otner
people term them simply lazy, but 1t
is quite possible that in many OF these
cases there is some physical condition
in the person which renders exertlon
specially distasteful to them, although
other people cannot observe It..
Sir Lauder illustrates his point by
story of an eminent medical professor
who. while acknowledged to possess
brilliant abilities, was accused by MS
friends of being lazy. He died at an
early age of heart disease, and MS
friends were then willing to admit that
there was some excuse for his laziness
In discussing the relation between
mental and physical fatigue Sir Lau-
der Brunton makes the Striking
declaration that ut Is a mistake TO re-
gard muscular fatigue as a stimulus
to the brain, or mental fatigue as
stimulus to the muscles. Long-con-
tinued muscular exertion renders the
brain anaemic." This fact he Illus
trated by the following story:
Many years ago l used to write for
medical periodical. On returning
home one night after a very heavy
DAVIS work at the hospital and feeling
completely exhausted l found note
from the editor, Please let me have
an article on such-and-such a subject
tonight. l sat down with pen and
paper, but not a word could l write.
Then l lay back lazily and began to
speculate as to the cause of my want
of ideas l thought: The brain Is the
same as 1t was yesterday. but yester-
day 1 was not tired; perhaps it is the
feebler circulation that prevents the
brain from acting. II the blood does
not 20 up to the brain, l may bring
the brain down to the blood. l, there
fore, placed my head fiat on the table,
looking sideways at the paper. and be-
gan to write easily. On raising my
head again every idea fled, so l placed
my head again down on the table, and
finished the article in that position.
"A similar instance was afforded by
the practice OF the late w. G. Lecky,
the historian. He had large magnl-
ficent head, mounted upon long neck
and a willowy body. He found out
that his circulation was not sufficiently
strong to raise the blood to his brain
in sufficient quantity for Its funda-
mental activity in the upright position.
For this reason he wrote his history
while kneeling on sofa which had
large broad head. This served him
for a writing table, and in this kneel-
ing position he wrote all his works, the
blood having thus to travel to his
brain in a horizontal line, instead OF
upward against the force OF gravity,
as it would have had to do in the sit
ting position"
The secret Of being tired APPARENT,
lies in the fact that the muscles when
in work give off poisons which bring
on fatigue. Worry and sorrow are also
given as causes Of WEAKNESS.

Atlanta Woman, 63 Years Old, Knits
Most Intricate Patterns.
Totally blind and So years old, yet
able to produce knitted articles Of ex.
quisite workmanship and artistic de-
sign, which always take first prizes In
whatever competition they are ex-
hibited-
This is the remarkable accomplish
ment of Miss Cardelia Lieberman.
Never possessing a very strong sight,
Miss Lieberman went entirely blind at
the age of % years. She learned the
art of knitting, of which she is now
such an accomplished master, after
that time, and It has been her chief
occupation during forty years of blind
ness.
At the State fair held recently at Ma
con Miss Lieberman was awarded two
blue ribbons on her work, one for the
best collection of fancy work OF any
kind and one for the best pair OF knit
ted bedroom slippers. At the last Al
lanta fair she received five first prizes
and was the successful competitor at
four previous fairs, the Atlanta Geor'
gian says.
Her prize collection of knitted WorA
included a baby carriage afghan,
pair of bootees, baby's sack, lazy
shawl, gentleman's bedroom slippers
and a child's scarf.
Miss Lieberman knits articles OF Se''
eral colors and by keeping the various
colored yarns in seperate positions sn'
never gets them confused.
Nor are all Miss Lieberman a.
complishments confined to knitting
Only last year Miss Lieberman 'oOA
up the study of the New YORK pun,
and learned it readily, so that no" 'n'
is able to read anything prln'eu

magazines that Helen Keller was ' .'
to play solitaire and number u w.
games with cards. .r-ots
Thereupon Miss Lieberman .,d
her, asking what cards she usea ., ..
how she was able to distinguish VITA.
Miss Keller responded by sending ~ : n
Lieberman a pack of cards mafA ,S,or.

A. T. DOROTHY DEAD.
Well Known Resident Died Tuesday
Evening After Long Illness.

Ansel T. Dorothy, widely known
among the officials and employees of
the Northwestern Railway company,
died at the Kenosha hospital at half
past nine clock Tuesday evening, af
ter long illness from diabetis. Mr..
Dorothy had been in critical condi-
tion since an operation on last Satur-
day and his death was not unexpected
among his friends and relatives. The
deceased was native of Walworth
county where he was born March 2,
1848. His parents were among the
earlier settlers of that part of the
state. Most of his life had been Civ
en- to the railway company. He en-
tered the employ of the company when
a young man and for many years be-
fore he was forced to retire on &C.
count of his illness he had been
conductor on the Wisconsin division
Of the road. Mr.. Dorothy retired
from the service of the company three
years ago last Friday and shortly af-
ter that time suffered the amputation
of one of his legs. 1t was hoped that
this amputation would save his life
but last Friday he went to the hospi-
tai for q second operation and his con-
dition was so weak that he could not
rally from the effects. Mr.. Dorothy
is survived by his widow.
The deceased was a member of Ke-
nosha Lodge No. At Free and Accept
ed Masons and the funeral services
will be held from the Masonic Temple
at 1000 Friday morning. After the
services with the Masons of Kenosha
acting as an escort the remains will
be taken on special train to Genoa
junction where the interment will
take place in the Dorothy family plat
in the Genoa Junction cemetery.
