The Barnura A Bailey show are la London. England, and the metropolis of the world finds that the great American aggregation of remarkable things and persons who perform remarkable feats beats anything in the 'show line the effete ctrthxatlon of the old world can produce. "A Noahs ark of abnormalities" Is what the London Sketch calls the several of side-sho- the great entertainment Not all the freaks are natural abnormalities; about half are artificial That Is to say, some of the curiosities hare made themselves what they are; the others were made such by the whim of nature. Each class is represented by the accompanying pictures. In the first category must be placed Barry de Rosa and his wonderful dog Dady. It Is a first article of belief among all dog lovers that a terrier can give his fellow canines a good many And stm tanter fn an easy winner, where Qualities of almost hu- - weather has been very mild hitherto, and so far the cabs have not been heated, except in a few instances, hut the tram cars and the 'buses follow the Almanac rather than the thermometer,' and for some time past they have been provided with chaufferettes. Th thing Is very elmple and very comfortable. In an ordinary Parisian bua much bigger, by the way. than the London 'bus,. and accommodating more than twenty people Inside there la n solid thick plank, but flush with ths floor, running the length of the bus. Thle plank Is about a foot wide, and In It are cut five cavities about two fedt long by six inches wide. In thee th chaufferettes of about the tame dimensions are placed so that they, too, are flush with the floor and just In nice position to rest the' feet These botchaufferettes are not tles, for that system required' frequent changes and did not give much warmth; they are really little stoves, In which the miniature fireplace Is be neath naff opening tittef the air below the floor of the bus The firing Is formed of a "briquette literally a little brick of about th dimensions of an ordinary sheet of note paper by an Inch and a half deep, made of coal anthracite and other combustible materl-a- li a good deal compressed. A briquette costs Id and lasta about half a bus day. I bad a conversation with a cabby on the subject He said that formerly th fumes used to escape In the cab, and that thla was disagrees ble, especially If you took the cab by th hour and went to Bleep. Now all the fumes escape outside. This cabby said one briquette at Id lasted all day, but this waa perhaps an undue economy on his part Another gave me a briquette and half a day. The chanf-ferettcabbies, but belong to th they buy the "briquettes" and have them put In burning.' In winter time th cabs so provided have th legend "Chanffee" (heated) exposed In large letters on a plate on the cab and thereby hanga a tale. I met an Englishman one morning who had come to Paris for ths first time. He pointed to one of the cabs and said: "Hs must Who? said be very rich, that man. I. "Why, Chauffee, of course.

("Hard-Heade- d" .man Intelligence are concerned, and any terrier Dady seems to known.- - The accomplishments of a 'boarding-schomiss "just finished" .fade Into Insignificance before the feats which come as easy to Dady as eating !his dinner. He will spell you words or read you them, add up columns of choose you the flag of your nation, and balance a glass of water oa the tip of his nose. Then there Is Peter Samson, who would be a handy man to have on the .premises when the coal comes home In unwieldy lumps. That uplifted fist of thla Is about to descend on the solid stone over which It hovers, and when it does there will be two pieces Instead of one. To him, truly. Iron bars to not a prison make, for he can snap .steel chains by the mere raising of 'his biceps. Akin to the hardnees of Peter Samson's fist is the head of Billy Wells. Hs Is called "Hard-Head- ," and does not resent the imputation. Billy's skull would form an appropriate anvil for Peter's fist But perhsps he would scorn to lend his cranium to such gentle tape as that might give. So he hires a professional blacksmith, sledge-hammand all, to crack stones on his head after the manner shown In the picture. Skill rather than strength is the forte of Marlon Ells. On n hugs blackboard she casts a shapelesa mass of soap, and at your wlh she will model you In n brief spaee the features of any celebrity yon care to name. Strength and skin probably account for the feats of Mattie Lee Price with perhaps a dash of nature thrown In. How otherwise can yon account for this "charming, delicate, , womanly woman lifting from the ground hr the mere touch of her hand a chair loaded with three stalwart men? Any team smarting under defeat might bs glad of Miss Price's services, for her other accomplishments Include "actually resisting and ovarcom-ln- g the combined efforts of n score of selected, heavy and . moet powerful men."

On the other hand, "The Skeleton Dude" Is an encouraging object lesson for all who have lost their appetite. If the history of the two Wild Men of Borneo is In harmony with their personal appearance, they ought to be able to evolve n story which would outrival tny narrative of fiction. But, alas! they have no languags save that of gesture, and hence the origin are shrouded In mystery. out-terri- er ol fig-jur- I er Paris."

The .propriety of suitable recognition by congress of tbe valuable work of these young women waa first suggested by a letter from Colonel Sharpe of the commissary department In Porto Rico to Colonel Black of tho engineer corps. Colonel Black sent Colonel 8harpes letter to the headquarters of the army with nn Indorsement, ta which he recited the services of Miss Chanler and Mlaa Boullgny.
