In none of the notices of the Siamese
Twins that we have seen has mention
been made Of the famous Scotch double
man, Of whom the following curious ac-
count is given in the "Rerum Sco:icarum
Historian 'During the reign of James
the Third, of Scotland, and at his court,
there lived man, double above the waist,
single below that region. The King
caused him to be carefully brought up.
He rapidly acquired a knowledge Of mu-
sic. The two heads learned sev.ral
languages; they debated together, and the
two upper halves occasionally fought.
They lived generally, however, in the
greatest harmony. When the lower part
of the body was tickled, the two individ-
uals felt it together; but when, on the 9TH
er hand. one Of the upper individuals was
touched, he alone felt the effect. This
monstrous being died at the age Of TWEEN
ty.eight years. One of the bodies died
several days before the other.

DoNEsrIC LIFE.-The banes of domestic
life are littleness, falsity, vulgarity, harsh
ness, scolding, vociferation, an incessant is
suing Of superauous prohibition and
orders, which are regarded as impairment
interferences with the general liberty and
reDose, and are provocative Of ranking or
exploding resentments. The blessed anti
dotes that sweeten and enrich domestic
life are refinement, high aims, great in
terest, soft voices, quiet and gentle man
ners, magnanimous tempers, forbearance
from all unnecessary commands or dicta-
ton, and generous allowance of mutual
freedom. Love makes obedience lighter
than liberty. Man wears noble alle.

Elsewhere we publish the call of the
President of the Prairie du Chen Con-

for Convention to be held at Portage, in

That the improvement is feasible, no
one has the least knowledge of the route
and its Immediate resources, can for mo-
ment doubt; and that such route is i'm.
peratively demanded by the vast and i'm
creasing freighting business Of the north
west, all admit. The thing now to be
done, is to arrive at some definite mode of
action. In order to inaugu-ate the work,
and to make start in the right direction,
the convention was held at Prairie du
Chien last fall, and the forthcoming meets
ing is ordered at Portage.
Considering the magnitude ,r the en-

Oxen VS.. Horses.

Oxen VS.. Horses.
A writer in the Hearth and Home saws ::
Hill farms are worked most advantage.
ously with oxen; the plains with horses.
Upon prairie grain farm. unobstructed
by stick or stone, the OK can be spared as
a worker, after the natural sod is turn ed i.
He may have half.holiday life, for which
he is fitted by nature Tin view of his
chances of making "holiday beef'') in
assisting and supplanting the horse in the
hurry Of seed-time and harvest. Unless
the French sarans give US all relish for
horse soups and roasts, the OK may remain,
in his character of meat producer,
with working possibilities, on many
smooth farms; especially such smooth
farms as lie adjacent to billy country.
Ills position is the more secure, as there
is yet no adequate supply of horses bred
purely and simply for heavy work.
The different periods in the growth of
country are attended by change in the
working cattle. In clearing timber land,
the OK is indispensable. When tho "stsmp
period is passed, and the soil is adapted
to easy tillagc, horses multiply. Later,
when the pillow is not alone profitable, and
manufacturers come in with an increase
of population, requiring better roads,
bridges and buildings, and the transport
of stone, brick, coal, lumber, and oil the
trough and tumble" OF modern i'm prove
welcome the OK again.
The OK and horse fare best when en-
ployed upon the same farm, each doing
the work for which he is best fitted. The
simple and inexpensive harness necessary
for oxen, the little time required to pres
pare them for work, the rapiditv with
which they are shifted from the tongue to
the chain, their general trustiness and
make them especially useful to
heavy work, in all
weathers. Horses, with light artillery
of carts and wagons, relieve the OK of
quick steps and accidental, and express
jobs upon the highway. In the employ.
ment Of both horses and oxen, there is an
opportunity not only to use the animals
best fitted for the work in hand, but also
to favor the natural prejudices of work
men. The old-country lad, though un-
used to oxen, may distinguish himself
with horse and cart, while a good OK
driver is half thrown away on horse
team.

INTERESTING RExINIscENcE.-At a re.
cent meeting of steamboat men in St.
Louis, Capt Clark, the Harbor Master,
said he commanded the steamer Mexico,
the first steamer that went above st. Louis
to the Falls Of St. Anthony, in 1926 and
1927. 1t was iow-pressure steamer,
and conveyed army stores. The cabin
was down stairs behind the engine, and
the ladies' cabin was in the hold. In
making the trip up to St. Anthony's Falls
the Winnebago Indians attacked them
near Prairie du Chen, and when he got
to Fort Smelling he reported the fact to
the officer in command, Col. Smelling.
Col. S. then furnished them with muskets
and two barges. The trip to the Falls &C.
cupied three months. Returning, Capt.
Clark and his crew were hgain attacked
by Indians in forty canoes. A fierce fight,
kept up for several hours, ensued, and the
Captain had only seven men left who
could fight, the remaining ten having been
killed or wounded. The fight ended by
the Indians getting out Of ammunition.
Aftcrward Gen. Cass, who commanded at
Fort Crawford, sent 1900 soldiers to pun
ish these Indians. Gen. Atkinson com
manded this force, and executed eighteen
of the redskins and took some hostages
in order to get possession of the ringlead.
