Smallest Deer In tho World.

The "mousedeer" Of India and Africa
Ia the chevrotain. one Of the smallest
hoofed animals. It stands less than
twelve inches In height at the shoulder.
The prevailing color Of the fur Is
brown. finely speckled with yellow.
The spots are large and sometimes run
into each other and form stripes. The
underparts Of the body are white. 1t
possesses the peculiar habit OF walk
ing on the tips Of its hoofs. This lends
a stiffness to the legs which has gain
ed for the chevrotain the reputation OF
having no knee joints. 1t has no horns
or antlers. But, as In the case of the
musk deer, the male is provided with
large canine teeth or tusks in the up
per jaw. 1t is of exceedingly tmid
disposition and lies hidden in the jun
gle throughout the day and only ven
lures to feed in the early morning and
after dusk IN the evening.

Profits In Waste Paper.

The sale of waste paper used to At
ford perquisites for government OFF,
cials. When John McCulloch (of Die
tionary Of Commerce fame) was ap-
pointed comptroller Of the stationery
office in 1S41. he discovered that the
proceeds from the sale Of government
waste paper were divided among bis
subordinates. who thus more than
doubled their official incomes. The
new comptroller prohibited this prac'
tice on the ground that all moneys de
rived from such sales belonged to the
exchequer. Some Of the officials dis
regarded this prohibition and contin
ued to sell waste paper and pocket the
proceeds. When this came to the ears
Of McCullOch they were prosecuted fol

property" For many years past th'
sta tionery office has made over f1O.O0(

Involu ntary Fasting.

A remarkable feat of involuntary
fasting was performed twelve years
ago by a corporal in regiment OF
French colonial infantry. On his way
to work one morning a man heard
cries proceeding from a disused mine
near Brest. At the bottom OF an ex-
cavation nearly 100 feet deep Corporal
Andre Desrats was found In SO weak
a condition that he could scarcely ar
ticulate word. When he recovered
his rescuers learned that after acci-
dentally falling into the mine Desrats
had been imprisoned for twenty-eight
days without anything to eat or drink.
But a pig can beat a man. DR.. w. b.
