A TeddyIess Discovery

This is the first picture ever shown
to mankind of the phyTopodus crus-
tacean branchipus chrocephalus dia-
phanUs It was not discovered by
Roosevelt.
The (glance at name above) is
part duck, ostrich and elephant, so
it can be called neither bird nor
beast.
You wouldn't think that the (see
name above) would be a very good

She has fitted up her house in
every way to impress the young
brain and sensibiities with harmony,
utility and beauty.
While I was there the other day
wealthy woman from Boston
brought an adopted child which had
proved refractory.
1t was found that the child, until
being adopted, had been tied to a
piece Of furniture all day while the
mother was working.
Mrs. SCOTS prescription was "let
the child dance. Not in the accepted
manner perhaps, but take your pho
nograph out doors and set it going to
lively dance music, then go away and
leave the child and some companions
near. You will soon find them run
ming about to the melody.
Your child will soon find mode
of expression for all the repression of
its poor, little stunted years" Mrs.
Scott said.
Already the adopted mother Of the
child has written that the cure was
effected and the right development
begun.
Other examples quite as similar
might be cited

so many manage to scramble into
some sort Of understanding.
When a fnancier remarked, You

"a mother does not perform her

should be a patented trademark, that
