THE HAIRT CHILD FBOM THE EWAMPS
OF EASTERN LAOS.
No young lady "rising nine" has
ever succeeded in creating so great a
eeDsation in the social and scientific
world as Krao. tbe hairy child, from
Eastern Laos-from the vast swampy
wilderness which extends east of the
"big river" of Indo-China, the Mei-cam-kong
or Mekong, toward the
mountain range that bounds Anam.

and in a sense the name is true,
fih xhir.its neculianties of struc
ture which auDroach those possess
ed bv the anthropoid ares, and
serves to Drove of how little impor
tance are the structural distinctions
between man and those apes com
nared with even the differences
between the apes and lower oion
kevs.
The neculiaritv which is most
tall-! about is the abundance of
hair upon the body and limbs. This
is not the colorless down to be found
in voung whito children, but dark
hair. It is expected to develop
much more with age, for in her
mother, who was retained by the
kinrr of Laos after the family was
cantured. the features are almost
concealed by hair. There is coth
ing very strange aboi.t the presence
of Hair. Many of us have a consid
erable growth upon the limbs and
chest, yet, so far as it g.ee, it points
back to the time wheu the entire
human race was living, as the race
of Krao is now. unclothed in the
forest with nothing to obstruct that
growth of hair which is common to
all mammilla, ine nouceaoie pe
culiarities of her physiognomy are
the great breadths ol tbe lace across
the cheeks below the cheek bones,
and the peculiar flatness of her nose.
The width of the face is partly ow
ing to that of the jaws and mouth,
but Drincioallv to the size of the
cheeks themselves, which are very
fieshy, and give more room for stow
ing away candy an J nuts than is
possessed by the average 6mall child.
It appears to be her habit to use her
cheeks iu tins manner to a great ex
tent, and this habit is said to be
coHimoa among her race. The na
sal bones are normal, but the carti
lege whih causes our noses to pro
ject appears to be wholly wanting,
as nothing can be felt but soft flesh.
She can use her thumbs like any
other child, but usually lays hold of
a small object by hooking her other
lour fingers around it. Her hand
can be bent backwards, also the fin
gers and thumb can be bent direct
ly back and made to touch the back
of her hand. This capability is nat
ural, not acquired. The cartilage of
the ears is not fully developed, as
the lower part of the conch is soft
and fleshy. She has a pair of ribs
more than is usual iu human beings,
the number (thirteen) agreeing with
that present in the gorrilla and chim
panzee. This is also said to be char
acteristic of the race to which she
belongs. The skull is excessively
brachy-cephalic, that is to say, its
width is more nearly equal to its
length than in the most round-headed
of Caucasian children. The back
of the head 6eems flat because of the
great development of the spinous
processes of the vertebrae of the
neck. This seems an ape-like char
acter, but can be explained in the
Lamarck ian manner, viz., by refer
ence to the arboreal habits common
to her race and to the apes. There
is little doubt that man was once an
arboreal animal, and in Krao and
her tribe the arboreal habits seem to
have either been retained or re-acquired.
There is nothing about the
proportions of her body or limbs
that is not entirely human if the
arm and leg are longer from the el
bow and knee than is usual, the dif
ference is too slight to be noticeable.
Her toes are very supple but our
own toes might be supple if we did
not encase them in leather boxes.
For the rest, her eyes are black and
bright, her manners lively and play
ful, and she has already given proof
of considerable intelligence, for she
can speak German and English, and
can read and write. It must be re
membered that in the matter of ed
ucation she has great advantages
over many white children, as two
people Professor Shelly and her
governess, the former master of sev
eral languages are devoted to teach
ing her.
Professor Shelly tells an interest
ing story of his travels in quest of
her, commissioned by his uncle, Mr.
Earini, lessee of the Westminster
Aquarium, England. The King of
Laos is supposed to be tributary to
thee King of Siam. who, induced by
a relative who has received a Euro
peaD education, gave Carl Bock and
Professor Shell v an escort of soldiers
elephants and letters to the Kins of
Lacs. Members of the tribe to
which Krao belongs have resided at
the court of Burmah for three gener
ations, and Mr. Farini, unable to
procure a Burmese example, trusted
that an example might be taken in
its native country. While the trav
elers were sick at Xieng-kheng. the
soldiers came upon a family (father,
mother and child), and took them
alL But it was not so easy to get
them out of the country. The
Buddhist priests interdicted this.
Finally, as a compromise, and to get
clear of the honorable confinement
they had to experience, our travelers
left the mother with the Laotian
Prince. Before reaching Bangkok
the Buddhist priests again appealed
to the fanaticism ot the people, and
it was only bv formally adopting
Kroa that Professor Shelly was Anal
ly able to take her out of the coun
try. At Erst Krao was very disconso
late and seemingly unintelligent, do
ing nothing but eat and crouch by
the fire. A photograph taken of her
at that date shows a creature without
any of the vivacity of the Krao of to
day. On one occasion some thirty huts
of Krao's people were seen and a
hundred or so of the tribe were gath
ered together engaged in fishinc, for
which purpose they make a net of
bark. I heir huts are simply nests
of interlaced branches in the trees,
well out of reach ol water .their only
weapon is a stick. The Laotians
etate that they are ignorant of the
ose of fire, and that their language
consists only of some 300 monosylla
bles. More precise details of the
race are at present lacking, but Pro
fessor Shelly declares his determina
tion to go again la. order to learn
more of i

It is seldom a soil is exhausted of
all its elements of fertility. It re
quires a variety of crops to thorough
ly exhaust a soil, but a soil may be
deprived of a tingle element which
will render it incapable of produc
ing some crops, while it may grow
good crops of a kind that had not
previously been raised upon it.
There is no doubt that a soil may
decrease in fertility to such an ex
tent as to be largely deprived ot
portions of all the elements of plant
food, but thi3 deprivation is not
equal, and the soil suddenly and
unexpectedly fails, simply because
there Las been an excess of some
particular element carried off in the
crops without doing great injury iu
other respects. Such a soil may be
considered exhausted for the grow
ing of crops similar to those remov
ed from it, but it may happen that
the farmer, instead of being com
pelled to manure his Lftid, or fertil
ize it with yaricus materials, may
again grow tbe tame crops by
the addition of but a single fertil
izer.
In growing wheat, for instance.
the soil may be exhausted of nitro
gen or phosphoric acid, though rich
in potash, and, although failing to
grow a remunerative crop of wheat,
may still be sufficiently productive
for growing clover. Cases may be
mentioned in which weak crops of
wheat were invigorated and mad to
yield above the average by applying
nitrate of soda in the spring, a read
ily available form of supplying ni
trogen. The application of a few
bags of superphosphate on wheat
ha6 been equally beneficial on some
farms, demonstrating that the soil
to which was applied tbe nitrate of
soda was deficient in nitrogen, or,
rather, it was exhausted so lar as
that material was concerned, but was
still capable of furr.if.hing potash
and phosphoric acid to the grow ing
wheat. The soil upon winch t.ie
superphosphate was applied wv.s de
ficient in phosphoric acid, though
it may also have been benefitted by
the nitrogen which usually accom
panies phosphoric acid iu that form.
Potash, however, was not deficient
in either case, and had ashes been
applied as a means of renovation
disappointment would Jiave been
the result, although ashes are known
to be excellent for exhausted soils.
A crop of clover would have produc
ed largely, as the clover plant de
prives the soil of but little nitrogen
and phosphoric acid. The clover
plant is composed of nitrogen to a
great extent, but it has the power to
appropriate this element from the
rams earned down Irom trie air
in the shape of nitric acid and am
monia. The application of manure does
not always restore fertility, for ma
nure differs iu quality according to
its composition. That produced on
dairy farms, where the nitrogen and
phosphates are carried away in the
milk, will not immediately restore a
soil deficient in nitiogen or phos
phoric acid. It may do so slawly,
as it will gradually store up, by the
assistance of the atmosphere, more
or less nitrogen. And as some phos
phoric acid and nitrogen will be left
in trie manure, the soil may gradu
ally be fitted for any kind of crop.
It is best, therelore, in the interest
of economy, to endeavor to arrive
at a knowledge of the requisites ot
a soil before applvmg fertilisers, as
any element added iu the soil which
it does not need subjects the farmer
to unnecessary expense.
Autumn Care of Meauow Land.
Meadows should not be eloselv
grazed any time, and especially not
in fad. 1 hey need to have fertiliz
ing material added to instead of
taken from the soil. Young ani
mals are more injurious than ma
ture ones, thev withhold a larsre
share of the potash, phosphoric acid
and nitrogen ot the tood to build up
their bodies, leaving the manure
comnarativelv poor, while the ma
ture animals need very little of these
three chief eleraentsof soil fertility.
Meadows, like winter "Trains, are in
jured by freezing and thawing, and
the plants need to be m a vigorous
condition in late fall, with a good
growth of after-math for protection
from the frosts nr.d winds. Well
rotted manure applied soon after the
hay is removed, will insure a line
crop next season. Take good care
of the meadows, for they suffer if
abused.
A California Ueapcr.
California growers have a reaping
machine which requires twenty
mules to propel it The machine is
called a "heuder," in that it cuts off
the heads of the wheat stalks, tak
ing in as little of the 6traw as possi
ble. The heads are carried on an
endless belt to a cylinder, where
where they are threshed and after
wards cleaned. The grain is run
into sacks, the sacks tied up and
left on the ground, to be gathered
up by wagons. These combined
harvesting and threshing machines
are yearly becoming more popular,
although they cost $2,000 each.

In 1SG0, a very simple accident
revealed to English potters a secret
which they ought to have learned
lor.g before from the Dutch wares
imported into that country. A maid
servant at the farm of Mr. Yates,
near Burslem, was preparing in an
earthen veesel a salt lye for curing
pork. During her temporary absence
the liquid boiled over, the sides of
the pot became quickly red hot, and
when they again grew cold were
found to be covered with an excel
lent vitreous glaze. The circum
stance attracted the attention of Mr.
Yates, who related it to a neighbor
ing potter, and he at once made use
of the discovery and imparted it to
others. The "salt glaze1' soon su
perseded the lead ore glaze hitherto
in use, and was employed in the
manulacture of "crouch ware," in
which all ordinary articles of domes
tic use produced in Burslem were
made.

An O I Well.
Phillips Bros.' well, near Butler,
Pa., is one of the most phenomenal
weils ever seen in the whole oil re
gions, and all interest is now cen
tered there, to the exclusion of the
lately discovered Glade district,
which is rapidly waning. Phillips'
well was drilled on August 30th, and
has been prpducing since over 1300
barrels daily, reaching on the 7th to
100 barrels an hour, it Mows with
the regularity of clockwork, the oil
gushing out at intervals of nine mi
utes and a half, the flow lasting
about four minutes. Large numbers
of people visit the well.

A Marvelous Story
TOLD JH TWO LETTERS.
FROM THE SON: "v orli,Oct.2!,lisi.
Gen:Uuum: .My father resides at Glover,
VI lie has bet a a (Treat sufferer from Scrof
ula, and the inclosed letter will tell you what
a marvelous affect
Ayer s Saxsaparilla
has had ln his ease. I think his blood most
have contained the humor for at least tea
years ; but It did not show, except in the form
of a scrofulous sore on the WTist, until about
fire years ago. From a few spots which, ap
peared at that time, it gradually spread so as
to cover his entire body. I assure you he was
terribly afflicted, aud an object of pity, when
he begu uiug your medicine. Now, there are
few men of his age who enjoy as (fod health
as he has. I could easily name fifty persona
who would testify to the facts in his ease.
Yours truly, S". il. Phuxips."
FROM THE FATHER:
"It ia both a
pleasure and
a duty for ms to state to yon the benefit I
bare derived from the use of
Ayer's Sarsapaiilla,
Six months ago I was completely cow red with,
a terrible humor and scrofulous sores. The
humor caused an incessant and intolerable)
Itching, and the skin cracked so as to causa
the blood to flow in many place whenever
I moved. My sufferings were great, and my
life burden. I commenced the use of the
Sabsaparilla in AprU last, and have used
it regularly since that time. My condition
began to Improve at once. The sores have
aU healed, and I feel perfectly well in every
lespect being now able to do a good day's
work, although 73 years of age. Many Inquire
what has wrought such a cure in my ease, and
I tell them, as I have hero tried to tell you,
AVer's Sajuapariixa. Glover, VL, Oct.
21,1862. Toon gratefully,
IIibam Phillips."
Area's Sarsaparilla cores Scrofula
and all Scrofulous Complaints, Erysip
elas, Eccema, Ringworm, Blotches,
Sores, Boils, Tumors, and Eruptions ot

rities, aids digestion, stimulate the action oV
