She is a handsome brunette, ployed of elephantine proportions. Her s. He weight is 165 pounds, and her waist Span- measurement is 34 inches. Seven hundred pounds is a weight which backed I the young lady carries comfortably ;hat all in one hand, while a dumbbell uu-d been der 100 pounds is not worthy of oath of her recognition. She makes a spe-he evil cialty of breaking horseshoes with limself her bare hands. This she does by given knocking them gently against her n upon hips. Iron chains which fetter other aine to animals securely are snapped into at has pieces by her without unusual ex-i to the penditure of energy. Another feat ;mpted j in which “Minerva” distinguishes emon’s hersel is performed by placing two chairs three feet apart. She maintains her equilibrium by placing one foot on each. A halter is then put about her neck with a chain, to which is attached a 250-pound iron ball. She then lifts her head, straightens herself and raises this toy several feet from the floor by the strength of her neck. A 200-pound man, sitting in a chair, Bhe can elevate to the ceiling on a second’s notice. But “Minerva’s” star performance is intercepting the speed of cannon balls. When one is fired at her from a distance of 30 feet, instead of foolishly allowing it to take her head along with it like a genuine veteran, she catches it in her hands. The sum of $500 and the championship will be her reward if she beats Fanny Gorman.Miss Wohlford is filling a year’s engagement with Orrin Brothers. When the match between this champion and Fanny Gorman takes place 15 feats will be performed by each, and the successful winner of eight will be the champion strong woman of the world. “Yucca” claims that she can excel her fair rival in the remarkable feats of i shaft, swinging a chair around in a circle ic old or balancing a whole pyramid of them in midair with her teeth— quite as well as if her dentals were originally designed for that purpose. She also lifts a 170-pound man in a chair or a300-pouna anvil with her teeth. Lifting 56 pound weights at arm’s length in each hand, lifting a 430-pound dumbbell over the head with one arm, elevating a barrel with three men, the average weight being 700-pounds, and supporting by her teeth a barrel of water tipping the scales at 600 pounds, are all among the notable performances of Miss Gorman.Light the 1the de-ige ape werful 1 with peering ft just e upon i rocks iis son of the i death my ac-1 there Their js and of the mding voutly ulness fed toie waswork-ecamework-, “El shout-d the le ap’d the gan to irrible ted to lbove. m but 9 time ilaced called Thet that r him top of“Itsdififerer remain write a If he is stand i till dusweavinj ever it withoui ony am scionsn ony to “In t childrei of conf recesses would s the ver infants ing and begin tlt; lie as ic gods, when v with thlt; tics, C stand, e ture for “In t;establistween 1 as in the General slee^ffen disturbs epair ac a pillow of stalk and sles no refer He does ened no be still, night’ n he cares “In si ulationcommoi hiberna two hoi and the, matter i hours a such set hours a. of mos and alslt; sition ii sequenc in Chim nay, of petitativ capacity wbeelba like a e open an“The of nerve nese en Those w with the China k how ala patients degree stoutest “It wt topic ale must pa tention t in one o calling irritated formulas taste—‘i to bear{ ance.’ ] little doi least, ha election in MelbcTrue Women.Birds with bright feathers do not always make a good potpie.
