The Truth About tHAe Siamese
Twins.

These "great twin brethren" were born
about the year 1925 at Bang Meklong, vii
lage of fishermen situated at the mouth of
the river Meklong, and distant about thirty
miles from the populous capital of Siam.
Their father was a Chinaman, and their
mother was of Siamese descent only on her
maternal side. The twins are, therefore,
three-quarters Chinese by blood, and one
quarter Siamese. Any one familiar with the
oblique eye, and other strongly marked fea-
lures which characterize the Mongolian race,
will at once notice how thoroughly the twins
betray by the cast of their countenances their
Chinese origin.
The land of their birth is land where the
religion of Buddha has taken the firmest root.
The practical rules of conduct which the
great Messiah of Brahminism taught have
sunk deep into the hearts of the people of
Siam; and there is no tenet on which Buddha
laid greater stress than on that which upholds
the sanctity of every form of animal life.
E'Shed not blood, for the blood is the life,
is one of the great texts which the apostle
from Magadha was continually enforcing; and
il is probably to the practical application oi
this rule that the Siamese Twins owe theil
escape from an untimely destruction.
Perhaps in other countries such twins may
have been born, but they have probably been
DESTROYED, or severed by surgeons knife, tc

Rates might determine. But in Siam mater

twins, who belonged to the humblest rank
of life, grew up to the age of seventeen o
eiohteen years amidst the fishermen of thei
native village. In those days, the gates o

Siam were closely barred against foreigners
no trade with the white-faced strangers was
permitted; and the rulers of this little king
dom, trembling with hatred and fear, sat
watching the progress of English arms in Bir-
nah, with conviction that they themselves,
too, were one day TO be swallowed up by the
pale, grey-eyed invaders.
In the midst of these agitations there
arrived an American vessel in the roadstead
at Bangkok, laden with large quantity of
condemned guns and other military stores,
which the astute Yankee had bought up in
Government auction at Calcutta, and ex-
pected to sell at high prices to the Samese
authorities, who, as he imagined, would be
only too glad to procure European weapons
to turn in case of need against European in
truders. 1t was then his plan to invest the
purchase-money in rice, in those days abun-
dant and cheap in Siam, and scarce and dear
in China. But the jealous rulers of the land
would not buy his guns, and they displayed
their malice in forbidding any of their people
to sell the stranger rice.
By some piece of good luck the disap-
pointed mariner fell in love with the twins,
and, having once enticed them on board his
craft, he was not long in weighing anchor,
and went whistling down the Gulf of Siam,
quite alive to the value of the prize he had
secured. By exhibiting these twins in the
civilized world, he made fortune for him
self and for them; and when they had ac-
cumulated sufficient means, the Siamese
brothers settled in America, where they have
been peacefully residing for many years.
They each of them married, and have each of
them a family. 1t was only very recently
that their parents in Siam died. In conse-
quence of pecuniary losses sustained during
the late troubles in the Southern States of
America, it became expedient for these twins
again to appear before the public. They
therefore came to London, during the early
part of last year; and the discussion which
then arose in some of the current journals in
connection with proposed surgical opera
ton was probably nothing more than q
puff" cleverly got up to draw wonder.
loving public. No severance by the knife OF
surgeon was ever seriously contemplated.

THE INFALLlBILITY QUESTION.
Cardinal AntoncIli,s Reply to Count Bcns

Cardinal AntoncIi's Reply to Count Bcust.
The Memorial Diplomdtique publishes the
following statement in regard to the reply which
has been given by the Papal Government to
Count Beusts recent despatch:-
Our Roman correspondent thus sums up the an
swer Of the Cardinal to the Secretary OF State:-
'"The full and unconditional liberty assured to the
Fathers OF the Conncil depriyes the Pope OF all
right to intervene with their deliberations before
the results are submitted for his appreciation Bat
what is forbidden to the Pope belongs OF right to
the bishops Of the AuStrO-Hungarian monarchy, who
within the council have iull liberty to modify or re-
sst the Schema in question. The Holy See, how
ever has reason to believe that the bishops do not
share the apprehensiOns OF the Imperial Cabinet
concerning canons xii, xix, Xxx, to which the note
OF Count Beust seems to REFER Canon XII
is only textual reproduction of the condemna-
ton Of the doctrines propounded by the Italian
Jansenists at the Council of Pstoja a cOndcmna-
tion pronounced against those doctrines by the bull
rautorem nde0 promulgated Dy Plus vi in 1894
Being directed against the Jansenists, this con-
demnation has purely dogmatic character. AS re-
CARDS Canon xix, condemnng the doctrine that the
Church Is deprived OF all authority other than that
accorded to her by the State, the Austrian bishops
have themselves protested, in collective memorial
addressed to the President of the council, Count
Auersperg, against the tendencies which were
manifested two years ago in Austria to reduce the
isting only by liberation. The Schema merely aims
at confirming the legitimacy of their protest.
1t should not be forgotten that the council.
in its Gcumenical character, treats dogmatica ques,
tiOns from the general point OF view Of the Church.
1t is in this sense that Canon Xxx determines the su-
prtme rule of conscience in regard to public and
social actions But this supreme rule can be modi-
fed in its application by concordats concluded be-
tween the Holy and the various States, for the
| Pope, being the guardian of the canons emanating
from the Council, has also the power to make such
| notifications in them may be demanded by the
political necessities of States AS regards Austria
| whatever may be the decision or the council,
| the Concordat of 1855 will be conscientiously
| observed by the Holy See which by no means thinks
| of employing its authority for turning away the
| bishops from the obedience due to the organic
| laws Of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. The Holy
See has still less intention to revive the supremacy
Of the Church over the civil power as IN the Middle
Ages, or to establish the Inquisition, as the enc
| mics OF the Church do not cease to assert. Alto
gether, the Schema Of the 21 canons does not tenC
in any way encroach upon the rights OF the State
Its sole object is to proclaim the true doctrines
| the Catholic Church, leaving mems consciences fre
to conform to them or not"

to kill his father. The complainant,
Michael Hallohan, who had the appear

also asserted that his son subsequently told an

and asked to have a coffin made. The only pre-
