Sir Jeffrey Hudson's Introduction to

Perhaps the most remarkable dwarf
on record was Sir jeffrey Hudson, the
little fellow whom Scott introduces in
"Peveril Of the Peak" He was born
in RutIandshire, England. in 1919.
When eight years OF age he was pre-
scented by the Duke OF buckingham 10
Queen Henrietta in a cold pie. He aft
erward became attached to the court Of
Charles !. At one Of the court masks
the kings porter, a man Of gigantic
size, who used TO torment the little
dwarf. pulled from one pocket loaf Of
bread and from the other jeffrey, much
10 the surprise and amusement of the
company present. Jeffrey was at this
time only eighteen inches In height.
He remained at this stature until he
was thirty years of age, after which a
curious exception 10 the laws Of growth
took place. since jeffrey rapidly grew
to be three feet nine inches In height,
whereas most men do not grow a quar-
ter Of an inch after the age Of thirty
This dwarf had an enormous head and
very large hands and feet; otherwise
his proportions were symmetrical and
his face was considered handsome.

TRsMPS OF THE SEA.

Their Work In Developing the Ocean
Carrying Trade.
There are land tramps and sea
tramps, but whereas the former lives
by the labor Of others. the worlds
business would be in great straits
were the latter to be swept from the
face of the ocean. While there have
practically always been tramp ships
since men have sailed the sea. II re-
manned for the Yankee shippers to de-
velop this phase of ocean carrying TO
its highest degree. Tramping on the
ocean is only another name for trad
ing. and many are the stories extant
OF Yankee shippers swapping beads,
mirrors. calico, knives and other trifes
for ivory In Africa. and for commodi-
ties equally as valuable In other lands.
The tramp steamship came into ex-
istence during the war between the
states, and It is to this type Of vessel
that England primarily owes her su-
premacy on the sea, she having en-
couraged the building Of tramps more
than any other nation. In times Of
peace they add to her prosperity. and
where they enjoy a subsidy, as they
do In some instances. they are used as
transports and other auxiliaries In
times of war.
Next to England comes Norway as a
nation which encourages sea tramps,
and as her maritime laws are more
elastic than those Of Great Britain
many British tramps are sold TO Nor,
wegian owners. who make them pay
after they have outlived their useful.
