Involuntary Fasting.
A remarkable feat of involuntary
fasting was performed twelve years
ago by a corporal In a regiment of *
French colonial Infantry. On Ills way
to work one morning a man heard
cries proceeding from a disused mine
uear Brest. At the bottom of an ex
cavation nearly 100 feet deep Corporal
Andre Desrats was found in so weak i
a condition that lie could scarcely ar
ticulate a word. When lie 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.
Bui a pig can heat a man. Dr. W. B.
Carpenter in his “Manual of Physiolo
gy** records that a pig weighing H>0
pounds was entombed by the fall of a \
portion of the chalk cliffs at Dover. <
It was dug out 100 days later and
found to he still alive, hut reduced in j
weight to forty pounds.— London Mail, j
Smallest Deer In the World.
The “inousedccr** of India and Africa
is tin* chevrolain, one of the smallest
hoofed animals. It stands less than !
twelve inches in height at the shoulder, j
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. It
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. It has no horns
or antlers. But. as in the ease of the
musk deer, the male Is provided with
large canine teeth or tusks in the up
per jaw. It is of exceedingly timid
disposition and lies hidden In the Jun
gle throughout the day and only ven
tures to feed in the early morning and j
after dusk In the evening.
Open Spaces In Cities.
Along with the new keenness over
social and economic reform England j
has developed a number <d other vir
tues in tin* past score of years One
is an appreciation of the value of open
spaces in cities, and one is the increas
ed determination to preserve ancient j
landmarks. Every few months an ar
ticle appears in the Times or some j
other influential newspaper acquaint- j
ing people with the danger that threat
ens some historical or long cherished j
spot, and usually the money necessary j
to save the property has been forth- |
coming.—!ndianapolis News.

Be the Model for
Year Own Clothes!
Rarely does a man who wears
ready-made clothing look right
in it. It was not made for him,
and no matter how well it may
apparently fit, the fact remains
that w hen the suit “settles” and
loses its ironed false form, it
w ill cave in here, bag there and
wrinkle somewhere else.
