A FOUR-LEGGED BABY.
Voaferfal lUgro ChlU Iitimti the

l*lin.- in Alabama aro taking
much iuu-riii in tlu- awe of the four-
it ggeel child lo whom Mary Muélelos,
a nearest, gave birth at Oye'lika on
May "¿4. The baby is a well-dcvelupad
male child
One pair of leg are in the ordinary
position, and, like the arms, are well
i«irmed. The extra pair of legs are
it ear the arras, and while quite well
foimed, are small. The feet on the
extra legs ar* regularly formed, with
it ?* and toenails, and have the ap-
pearance of belonging to a sickly
child. The child is robust and Ileal*
thy. with all the faculties of an ordi-
nary child.
The child has ban examined by
hailing physicians of the state and
pronounced healthy i.i everything ex-
cept the extra pair of limbs. He has
good use of his n guiar limbs, but
«e« tn unable to control the others.
The physicians, after a cart ful exam-
ination, .-aid that if the child lives,
which seems altogether probable at
this tin e, he will eventually get con-
trol of them, as there are about the
.-..¿me muscles and ligaments in them
that are found in u cub lunr of the
«ame age.
Thousands of people have gone to
iOpelika to view tin freak. of whom
the parents seem to be very fond.
Several theories are advanced to
account for this monstrosity. One
of them is that the mother wa. fright-
ened by a great black bear during t he
street fair in Opelika last fall. Dr.
Williamson, a strong believer in the
Darwinian theory, declares that the
ease is ¡simply a retrogression of man-
kind—a step backward—and that the
•hiId demonstran that the human
race came from the monkey family.
The features of the child are regu-
lar. They are those of the typical
African, with the large mouth, flat
nose and kinky hair.
Already the father of the child,
John Maddox, is arranging to place
him on exhibition, believing that he
iui- the greatest human curiosity ever
produced. He if awaiting the highest
Milder, and as soon as the child and
mother are strong enough they will
;akt the road.—N. Y. Sun.

Art Afraid of Mirror That Ara Hung
Among the Fruit Traes.
4íl learned a trick while in th®
Philippines in the matter of keeping
bird; out of fruit tree*," volunteered
n well-known official of the post of-
fice department toa Washington Star
reporter, "which may be of value to
many just now, when ao many cher-
ries arc being destroyed by birds. It
is simple, inexpensive and. as far at
I could observe, praetieal. It consists
in hanging a small mirror on the top
limbs of the tree. There should be
at least six inches of string to tht
mirror, so that it can swing about as
it it blowL by the wind. The flash
oí the mirror, it appmrs. -cares tha
birds away. One or two fly. -cent mir-
rors hung on a tree is sufficient,
though, of course, three or four would
lie that much better. I was told that
this method had worked in tin- Phil-
ippines successfully for many years,
and that the bin's do not grow fa-
miliar with it as they do with a are-
trow. Since my return here J find
that the mirror scare is not unknown
litre, and that it has been in u«-.- by
Michigan fruit-grower for many
>cci>. 1 have tried it myself in a
Muui! way and it is amusirg what*
tir ii creates anionic the bird*."

DRY SHAVING.
■as Almoat Eotiraty Removed Bearda
flow tka r« a ot Chmamaa.
"Dry shaving has been a blessing to
China, and in less thai 300 veáis hs*
almost removed heard from the faces
of the men of the empire," observed
an intelligent Chinaman to a Wash-
ington Star ri porter. "Originally the
Chinest had heavy beards. This it
easily veriíkd by an examination of
any of the old prints of I'hinamen, for
all of tin mshow lung-beared nun. In
tfiae the people found out that there
was no paiticular use for a Unid. and
that the wearing of it was expensive,
outside of the time actually occupied
in trimuiingorshavingit. How many
Americans of to-day are forced to
spend several bouts a week in a I ;ir-
ber's chair? Many nun that 1 know,
Americans and Kuroptans as wvll,
spend "¿'i minutes in the barlú r's chair
every day.
"The Chinaman of the olden times,
the kind of Chinaman who figures as
A pirate in your prints, for the good
Chinaman never seem- to have got his
picture in your books at all.until with-
in tin last 50 víais at most, always
wore a long beard in reality as well as
in the pictures. Hut even he found
out that then wa- no im t -sity for it.
The learned nun of the empire were
asked to consider tiu matter, and tin y
arrival at the conclusion that dry
shaving was to some t xtt nt a it medy.
Anyhow, official t diets wire- is-tud
giving this inft rmatit.n. The
old fellows who had latin i * < f
course were not in it. ¡;nd tlu-y live !
out their da\« and pü-.-ul out of ex-
istence with full beards, but tin young
were asked to 'dry shave.' Thus tht
reform started, and in fi\ ■ or -i\ ven-
eration- of people tht beard has prac-
tically disappeared, , o that the a\t r-
age Chinaman to- !ay does not have
