This child or, as many persons believe this devil was born with hair all over its bodv nearly two inches long. The face and'hands even are not exempt, they are similarly coated. The features are .KanWolf fienriinh in expression, and tlio pvm shine like two little beads from beneath a pair of shaggy brows. It has a tail eighteen inches long. This enfant terrible was provided at its birth with a full set of teeth. Two short, sharp horns rirntmrlA from the skull, and the claw Mb-A Hanrla are furnished with claws like VinoA of an entrle. The feet are exactly like the hoofs of a goat, and the hair covering the body is as coarse as goat s v.nir nnrl similar in appearance. The creature could crawl from its birth, and refusing the natural sustenance of an normal child of like age, it left its mother's side, sliding on its hands and knees all over the house, devouring anv scraps to be found. This child devil is now five weeks old, and has already shown itself as a ferocious beast. It snaps savagelv at the restraining hand, and the facial expression produced by an effort to curb the tendencies of the creature is inexpressibly frightful.

At the first night of German opera this season the beauty of the fans dis played was worthy of comment. Many New York women own collections of these delicate instruments that are unique and almost priceless. A loan ex hibition of them would be most interest ing. There are two novelties in this season's fans, or, more properly speak ing, two distinctive features, for neither is strictly a novelty. One is the prefer ence for those of four and six sticks, whose broad surfaces admit of free dec oration. Some exquisite painted gauze fans are shown with four sticks, each fully two inches wide, of filigree silver. Even more effective ones have almost massive plates of undecorated gold or nAnr1 for foundations upon which to stretch embroidered gauze or lace. The other noticeable effect in the new fans is that of crusted jewel work, sim ilar but much finer than the new gew led passementerie used on gowns. In some very costly fans the jewel work is reaL but in more and almost equaiiyei- f ective ones the precious stones are imi tations of Parisian workmanship.

They made no resistance at all, nor did they speak a word after we left the train at Salem. . We rode out to the prison on the electric car, and when I turned them over to the-warden they were so broken in spirit that neither of them could pak."

These I display conspicuously in the window. If you can once get them into the store it is easy enough to remind them that there are many pretty things on exhibit, and as every woman hat some man, b intelligent Fldo. One of Seattle's leading physicians, who brags that he is "a descendant of one of the first families of Virginia, sah!" tells a story of a dog's sagacity that is rather astonishing, to say the least "When I was a boy," said the doctor, "my father used to keep a large number of hogs. Sometimes he would have as many as a hundred on the farm. We were constantly annoyed by hogs be longing to our neighbors getting in with ours. The only way we could tell them was bv a branding mark on their should ers. But Fido's sagacity used to save us a great deal of trouble. Every morning the dog used to run in among the hogs. "Tt is difficult to believe, but it is an actual fact that that dog got so that he Viitw the branding mark. He would go im to every hog in turn, put his front nawa on the porker's shoulder and look at the mark. If it was ours he let the hog go, but if it was any other mark he would take the hog by the ear, lead it to the rate, and then stand there bark ing until some one came to let it out "But Fido's sagacity did not end there. TT soon got bo that he knew every mark, so that when the gate was opened he wonld lead the hog bv the ear a short distance in the direction it ought to go, and then stand there barking until it was out of sight' Seattle Worked by the Gang. A gentleman who makes it a point al ways to carry a few nickels in his pocket for any apparently worthy mendicant whom he meets during his day's wan derings, started to cross City Hall park from tie Park row side yesteraay aiter noon, when he was approached by t eeedy individual whose face was almost blue from the cold. "Excuse me. sir.' said the seedy one. "I have been down here for two days from Boston, and I haven't eaten oh, thank you, air; you're a gentleman," his smudgy fist closing over the nickel. The gentleman turned after taking a dozen steps and saw the seedy one drop his handkerchief. Instantly another beggar sidled up and also got a nickel. Like the first he was profuse in his thanlra. and emphasized them by drop ping his handkerchief. Then came a third, with the plausible taie or a long ana wearv walk from Philadelphia. "Sea here." said the gentleman, "Pve iust been held up by two of your pals, and I think you are a gang of profession als. Skipr Number three took the advice, but failed to drop hia handkerchief.- had been intended originally for office usee, as in tbe bedroom was a large safe or vault of the most massive construc tion. Instead of being used to hold curities of priceless value, it was de voted to the humbler duty of receiving clothing. The heavy steel door, some five inches thick, was supplied with combination lock. This was a novelty to the wife, who, as soon as she had bestowed some of her wraps in the safe, began a superficial study of the mechanism. She could not, of course, make out much about it, and her lord and master offered, in his supe rior wisdom, to explain it. AN OMNISCIENT HUSBAND. "All you have to do," he, said, "is to think of a word, shut the door, then spell the word on this dial, turn the handle and then no one can open it who doesn't know the combination. Now step in for a moment; I will lock yon in on the word 'open' and let you out again in an instant." The wife, who had not been marri -d long enough to discover that her hus band was not as clever as he thought, stepped gayly into the vault "It will be awfully dark and stuffy here with the door closed," she ex claimed. "Don't be afraid, dear; Til let you out again before you have time to think." He turned the handle, worked the combination to "open," worked it back again, pulled at the door, but there was no sign of its yielding. Frantically he again ran the indicator over the letters making the word, but still the door would not budge. He shouted encour agingly to his wife, but it was evident that she could not hear him, for there came no reply, though he thought there was a faint sound of rapping. "Was she already dead for want of air!" was the first awful thought; but he remembered that the vault was at least six feet square, and even if perfectly air tight must contain enough air to support life for some little time. But for how long? It was Sunday. It might be hours before he could find a locksmith, and even then it might take more hours to open that dreadful door. His darling might be dead! He would be her slayer! Perhaps the law would call it murder! AN UNFEELING RESCUER. These thoughts flashed through his mind in less time than it takes to read them. After shouting some reassuring words he rushed up to the landlady's room on the floor above, and breathlessly and almost unintelligibly told something of the trouble. "You're the second fool who's got into a mess meddling with that safe," was the old woman's comforting comment "Never mind that!" he cried. "Can vou get her out before she dies?" "Yes, I can. I don't have things about T don't understand, and if I did find them I wouldn't meddle with them." "Never mind that, my good woman; onlv come and open the door." It s easy to see you am i long mar ried," was her grumbling comment, as she waddled after him down tne sxaus. She gave a few turns to the handle and threw'the door open. The wife was dis covered in a dead faint, but evidently still alive. A good many dollars spent in doctor s fna and a present for the landlady to some extent repaired the damages ot tne husband's experiment, but nothing could repair his eternally damaged reputation for omniscience. In after days hia wife was even occasionally known to bint that he had tried to kill her, and that a Via WAA ROTTV he hadn't succeeded ' and been dnlv hanged. A dav or two after toe occurrence no ii to the landlady. "How was it tne door wouldn't open on the combination IusedT Because," she answered, "you must release the lock from one combination before you can set it on another.

The legal rate of in terest in New York state is 6 per cent per annum. If $10,000 were put at 6 per cent, interest, and if the interest were compounded semi-annually, the accumulation at the end of twenty-five years would be $43,800. Many of the fortunes in America are the result of in vestments in lands and enterprises. The country is growing very rapidly, and the increase in the value of land keeps pace with the growth.
