A TWo.Headed Girl,

There is at Soorabaya, Java, at present
on view japanese infant with two heads
and necks, but with one body, two arms
and two legs. The little thing is now
about fifty days old, according to the
mother, and is so far in fair health The
two heads and necks are placed side by
side on the trunk, and are perfectly and
neatly formed, and of about normal size.
Between them on the trunk is a small
protuberance, caused evidently by the
junction of two bodies The body is alb
normally broad at the shoulders, and
taperS down at the waist and loins to the
size of an ordinary infant of the same
age; the legs appeared very small and
weak, however. The arms on each side
of the small chest looked puny. The
right hand head is little lighter in color
than the other. How the internal ar
rangements are disposed of We, of course,
do not know, but both heads have to be
fed at meal times. When the wliter
was present one head cried, the mother
said from hunger, but the other did not,
though it at tho same time began moving
about restlessly as if for food. The two
heads do not breathe alike, nor do the
pulses on either arm beat together, from
timo to time the infant Tor infants, for
each head has a name) suffers from de-
preston, and the face turns BLUSH
showing that the blood circulation is not
properly regulated. The parents are
ordinary japanese of the lower class,
and the mother is goOd-lOoking; so is the
offspring. They are doing good trade
by the exhibition. -LOndOTl Telegraph.

Turkish Domestic Life.

Every Turk leads two lives. He may
be in the society of Europeans during
six hours of every day. He Is we'll
dressed, vivacious, perhaps intelligent.
But this part of his life is not the part
which form his motives. 1t Is not then
that the final causes are at work which
govern his acts His life, when he Is In
the busy whirl of the world, is super
fetal and unreal How artificial Il is
can be seen In the alacrity with which,
on his return to his harem, he lays off
the broadcloth clothes of his public ex-
istence, and dons the white, baggy trous-
ers, the open-necked vest, and the long
gown dear to his heart. He is only
ready to be at ease when he releases his
feet from patent leather and from stock
ings, and thrusts them into unheeled
slippers Then he is himself for he is at
home
The harem is to every Turk his haven
Of refuge. To it he may flee from every
care. About the harem cling all the
sweetest associations of his life. All his
best feelings find exercise In that sacred
place. His mother, perhaps, is there, or
his sisters. There only he enjoys the
prattle of his children There alone In
all the world can the tired man find the
balm of sympathy. There he has his
books, and can study in peace if he will.
There he enjoys the riches of his flower
garden In the domain of the woman,
with hills, and wales, and moon-touched
sea before his eyes, he dreams away his
summer evenings under the subtle spell
of Nature, and here he meets the con-
trolling influences of his life. The wo-
men Of the harem-mothers, sisters, and
wives-wait upon the man coming wear
lily home from his struggle with life.
They are to him humble servants or
merry companions, as his mood is. They
please him with his children, or leave him
alone with his books, at his behest.
Sooner or later, however, they assert
their woman's right of talking on serious
topics, and then they have him at their
mercy. Now these women who make the
home of the Turk are rarely his equals in
mental requirements. No question of
blood rules the selection of wives among
the Turks. A woman born in mud
hoYel often rules in Pasha's palace

Cremation Of the Dead.

Exactly how to dispose of the ashes Of
the dead in the most satisfactory manner,
after cremation is accomplished, is still a
question. The ancient practice was to
deposit the ashes in q funeral urn, to be
preserved in q tomb or other sacred
place. This is also the modern custom.
But if tombs are to be required then there
is not much need for cremation, as the
corpse may as well be buried in the tomb
without cremation.
A recent American patent consists in
providing parlar bust of the deceased,
cut in marble, and in making q hole in
the back of the bust, wherein the ashes
are to be deposited after cremation of the
body. .
A further improvement, suggested by
one of our lady correspondents, is to pre-
pare wet mixture of camsnts for Rrti-
fetal stone or marble, and sprinkle the
ashes of tho deceased into tho mixture,
which is then to be cast or pressed into
the form of busts, statuettes, or other obs
lects. In this way various members of q
family might possess enduring portions
of the ashes of the departed One.-Scien-
FiJfc american.

The LnenmotiYe Enrineer.

The London Telegraph in recent
editorial pays splendid and deserved
| tribute to the men who hold the lives of
| hundreds in their hands-the locomotive
engineers. It says: Most passengers are
as ignorant, happily of the pitfal under
| their feet as one of the intricate process
of digestion of the anatomy of the human
| frame. They take their journeys as they
take their food, trusting blindly that
somehow or other it will be all right, and
| that the narrow corners viii be shaved,
and it seldom occurs to them to express
their thankfulness for the manly devotion
which contributes to their safety. While
faith is the guiding rule of the traveller,
duty is the absorbing principle of the
railway servant. But does it never occur
to the wakeful traveller as the lamps fash
past him, as the train rushes over the
bridges and through network of signals
as the tunnel seems q duller roar and the
lighted station a suppressed scream,
when the pulse of the motion never stops
and the impetus at times becomes almost
terrible, what a sense of gratitude there
ought to be toward those lonely men who,
faithful to the end, turn this point and
that, shift the lamps, keep watch and
ward, and clear the way for the swift ex-
press? Those who have trusted them
selves to this splendid power are utterly
powerless. Their lives are In the hands
of the men who drive the train, and of
the signal men who watch. Yet there is
no sleep in the signal-box or at the tun-
mel mouth; there is no conversation, no
distraction, nothing but dull monotOny
of duty. A score of things may have
happened; the staff may be short-handed,
some one is unexpectedly on the sick list,
some good-natured fellow may have done
double duty out of pure comradeship;
but this makes no difference in the safety
of the line. There need be no cause for
fear when such men know their duty and
do If "

Max Mrller 10 Ralph waldo Emerson.

In honor of Ralph Waldo Emerson's
birthday, Max Muller sept the following
letter from London
The translator of the Upanishads,
Mokshamula-Ra, sends greetings and
best wishes to his American Guru,
Amarasunu, on his 77th birthday, and
incloses an extract from an Upanishad
lately discovered:
cold age and decay lay hold of the
body, the senses, the memory, the mind
never of the Self, the looker-on.
"The Self never grows tired-the
body grows tired of supporting the Self
"The Self never grows blind-the
windows of the senses become darkened
with dust and rain.
''The Self never forgets-the inscrip-
tions ON the memory fade, and it is well
that much should be forgotten.
"The Self never errs the many
wheels of our own small watches grow
rusty, but we look up to the eternal dial
in the heavens above, which remains

A Prominent Feature of the Face.

It cannot be denied that the nose is a
very prominent feature of the human
face. and gives marked evidence of char
acter; and on this account o vast number
of proverbs and popular sayings have
attached themselves to that feature, ap-
plying to it metaphorically the character
of the parsonage himself. Thus the
French say of prudent man that he has
a good nose; of clever man that he has
q sharp nose; of proud man that he
carries his nose high; and of an indiscreet
person that he dips his nose into every
thing. The gourmand has always his
nose In his plate, and the man of learn
ing III his books. There are some per-
sons who have much skill in discovering
what you wish to conceal; Z" they draw
the worms from your nose" and it Is
usually by making some false suggestlOn
or equivocation that they arrive at the
truth. Snch persons mast always be held
in distrust. They sound you in thous-
and ways, and if you are naturally little
frank and irritable, you soon become
tired of their prattle, 'The mustard
rises to your nose, " and you let out the
facts which the interviewer wishes to dis
cover. How many people there are, no
doubt, who allow themselves thus {" to be
led by the nose" In regard to the
beauty of this feature, popular and
national opinions differ in Q marked de-
gree. Plato calls the aquiline nose the
king of noses. On the contrary, the
Kalmuck Tartars regard the fat nose as
the pearl of noses, and the celebrated
beauty, the wife of Genghis Khan, is
said to have had only two nostrils in
place of a nose The Hottentots press
the noses of their children to fatten them,
whilst the Persians work upon the noses
of their young princes to give them re-
semblance to the RqHliilliinlle nose Of Cyrus.
Must it be inferred from this that beauty
is only relative? Assuredly, to persons
who are wanting in the sense of the
beautiful; but, whatever logicians may
say, the nose of the Apollo BelVidere is
to be preferred to the Hottentot Venus.
