AN 0DD CouPLE.-In a town in Orange
county, New York, there are living a man and
his wife who have not spoken together for
eight years. They sleep in one bed take
their meals at one table, and show not the
slightest anger towards each other. The only
reason for their obstinate silence is that each
IS too proud to speak first.
