SERVED IN A COLD PIE.
Sir Jeffrey Hudson's Introduction to
Queen Henrietta.

Sir Jeffrey Hudson's Introduction to
Queen Henrietta.
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 Rutlandshire, England, in 1919.
When eight years Of age he was pre-
scented by the Duke Of Buckingham to
Queen Henrietta in a cold pie. He aft
erward became attached to the court OF
Charles l. At one of the court masks
the kings porter, man OF gigantic
size, who used to torment the little
dwarf, pulled from one pocket loaf of
bread and from the other jeffrey, much
to 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 to the laws of growth
took place, since Jeffrey rapidly grew
to be three feet nine inches in height,
whereas most men do not grow 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.

The Banana.

The banana plant bears fruit every
year. 1t is one of the most productive
plants in the world and feeds more
people than any other known to man.
1t has been estimated that more than
a third of the human race depend al
most wholly for their existence upon
the banana. That the fruit is amply
able to sustain life. and to sustain 1t
in a very satisfactory manner. is dem
onstrated by the fact that the millions

to be as strong and active as those
