The New Siamese Twins.

The brothers Tocci, born In Turin in 1877,
are considered to be even more curious than
the famous Siamese twins.
They have two well formed heads, tive
pairs Of arms, and two thoraces, with all in
ternal organs; but At the level Of the sixth
rib they coalesce into one body.
They have only one abdomen, one umbil-
icus, one anus, one right and ona left leg.
Their genital organs consist Of penis and
scrstum, and at the back there Is rudimen-
tary male genital organ, from which urine
sometimes escapes.
II Is curious fact that the right leg moves
only under the control Of the right twin
(named Baptiste), while the other Is nova
BILE only by the left twin (named Jacob).
As result, they are unable to walk. This
left foot is defcrmed, and is m example Of
talipes equinus. Each infant has . distinct

Is laughing; one Is awake while the other ID
asleep. When one Is sitting up, the other Ii

"Among all the privations of your Arctic
sojourn which seemed to be felt the most ?"
81 think we were more worried and de-
pressed by the sameuess and dreariness of
the scene-the utter solitude-than anything
else. To 90 upon deck every day and look
out upon the same vast, endless waste of ice
it was that which we appeared to feel the
most. The utter monotony and dreariness,
after while affected the spirits of some, and
they would 60 aside, so as not to infect the
others with their momentary depression.
When the Indian came one day and an
nounced, Me found two-man house, the
excitement caused by the novelty of the an
ticipation was something tremendous"
"Had you daily games and diversions ?"
"Du.ing the first fall we used to play q
good deal of football on the ice when 1t was
not too rough, and we also had little skat-
ing. We enjoyed occasionally good foot
race ON the ice. Collius was at his best in
rifle matches. During the retreat he rem
dered admirable service by shooting num-
Der of seals. We did not play much at cards,
but read a good deal, sometimes novels,
sometimes scientific works, and between
long chats we would indulge in a game of
checkers or chess. DeLeng often played
checkers with Chipp. Chipp generally won
the game. Then at other times we would
60 ont for long walks on the ice to exercise
and watch the movements of the ice-a
source of exhaustless interest to US. Cap
tain DeLong would sometimes harness ten
or fifteen dogs to sled for drive, putting
an Indian runner ahead. And thus the time
wore on. The men were generally COM
Portable while iu their quarters, and they al
most imperceptibly fell into a routine Of
daily occupation as though they had been
used to 1t all their lives"
"Did you ever talk about the end? Was
there any shadow or premonition of death
among you?"
"We talked about 1t good deal, but gen.
orally in iocular way. When things began
to look their worst On expression frequently

A Case for Scientists.


OTytee Avalanche, June ID.
MIR. Leslie, who was struck by lightning on
Thursday, the 25th ult., died on Wednesday
last. All was done to save his life that could
be. On Friday morning, the 26th, DR.. Peters
left for Owyhee river, where the deceased
then was, and succeeded, after carrying him
on horseback for seventeen miles over a
rough country, in getting him to the road.
He was then placed in wagon aud brought
to Silver City, where they arrived on Mon
day evening. His death was not unexpect-
ed; but what the physicians can not under
stand (and which puzzles the public at large)
Is that man could be struck by thunder
bolt little to the right of the center of the
head, thence in Its course passing down the
side Of the face, singeing the whiskers off,
running down his right side to point below
the navel, thence diagonally across the body
to the left side, or hip, thence branching and
running down both legs to where one of his
legs crossed branding iron he was carry ing,
thence through the saddle into the horse he
was riding, killing the animal instantly,
without instant death to Mr.. Leslie. The
hat worn by him at the time was torn into
fragments. The doctor did not reach HIM
until the morning Of the 9th, thirty-six
hours after he had been struck, and he knew
him the instant he saw him, and said !:
Hello, Doc, which way ?" and on receiv-
ing the reply, al am going to stay here,"
said: "When you 60 to Silver I want to
send message to my wife," As soon as
possible he was placed on horse, with an
other man behind TO hold him on, and In
this manner seventeen miles were travelled,
part Of which was over a trail upthe Owyhee
river, In places thousand feet to the river
Immediately beneath. In winding up the
path DR.. Peters saw Mrs. Leslie In the dis
tance and motioned her 10 stop, when lie
rode on ahead and told her to 60 back for a
mile where she would find a shade tree
that her husband could not possibly live,
though he thought lie could get him into Sill
yer before he died. He then returned and
assisted In getting Mr.. Leslie to the place
indicated. Mr.. Leslie knew his wife as soon
as he saw her, and insisted on being hurried
to Silver SO he could see the children. He
fingered until Wednesday, during which
time be knew everyone who approached him
until within an hour before he died. Apost
mortem examination was held by Drs. Peters
and Belknap on Thursday morning, when
upon removing the upper half Of the skull 1t
was found that the lightning had struck the
deceased about midway between the top Of
the head and ear, and about two inches In
front, fracturing the skull near the base Of
the ear, and completely severing the whole
brain from the skull. Those who saw the
confused and mangled brain, express aston
ishment that the deceased lived as long as
he did.

A Fear and the Tonic.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-The Southern
Democrats in Congress have been In receipt
Of letters for days from prominent Demo-
Gratis in their respective States conveying the
alarming intelligence that great distrust ex-
lists in the Democratic party in the South
respecting the fall elections. The impress
sion seemed to prevail that the coalitions
fostered by the administration, In the South
ern States, would carry everything before
them. The Democrats they said were be-
coming disheartened. Thereupon the DEM
ocrats In the House realized the necessity of
reassuring their party friends, and canvassed
among themselves the Democratic chances
in the coming election, and by close calcula-
ton and the throwing out of all the specula-
tive elements, they come to the pleasing con-
clusion that the Democrats would have
majority Of twelve in the next House. This
statement was solemnly and formally made
up and sent to the Chairman Of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee In the South
and nothing IS yet has been heard Of the cf-
feet Of this tonic on enervated Bourbcns.

wrote and sent to Lord Jeffery these lines:l
Ihou, too, has travelled, little fiutterina

Hast seen the world, and now thy weary

Thou, too, must rest
but much, my little bird, couid'st thou but

To build thy nest.
For thou hast passed fair places in thy fight
A world beneath thee where to light;
And, strange thy taste,
of all the varied scenes that met thine eve
Or all the spots for building meath the sky
To choose this waste.
Did fortune try thee? Was thy little purse
Perchance run low, and thou, afraid of worse
Felt here secure?
All, no! thou need'st not gold, thou happy
Thou know'st 1t not OF all Gods creatures.
Alone is poor!
What was it then? Some mystic turn OF

Caught under German caves, and hither
brought,
Marring thine eye
For the worlds lovsliness, till thou art
A sober thing that dost but NOPE and moan
Not knowing why?
Nay, If thy mind be sound, need not ask,
Since here See thee working at thy task
With wing and beak.
A well-laid scheme doth that small head con-

At which thou work'st, brave bird, with
might and main,
Nor more need'st seek.
In truth, rather take il thou hast got
BY instinct wise much sense about thy lot,
And hast small care
Whether an Eden or desert be
Thy home so thou remain'st alive, and free
To skim the air.
God speed thee, pretty bird; may thy small

With little ones all in good time he blest.

KEEP US FAITHFUL.
BY DIR. o. w. HOLMES.

[Read before the Annual Festival of the
American Unitarian Association, at Boston,
June 1stl
The waves unbuild the wasting shore,
Where mountains lowered the pillows
sweep,
Yetstill their borrowed spoils restore
And raise new Empires from the deep.
So, while the floods of Thought lay waste
The cid domain of chartered creeds,
It's Heaven-appointed tides will haste
To shape new homes for human needs.
BE ours to mark with hearts unchilled
The change an outworn age deplores;
The legend sinks, but faith shall build
A fairer throne on new-found shsres.
The star shall glow in Western skies
That shone DER Bethlehem's halo wed
shrine,
And once again the temple rise
That crowned the rock of Palestine.
Not when the wondering shepherds wed
Did angels sing their latest song,
Nor yet to Israels kneeling crowd
Did Heavens one sacred dome belong.
Let priest and prophet have their dues,
The Levite counts but half man,
Whose proud salvation of the Jews
Shuts out the Good Samaritan!
Though scattered far the flock may stray,
His own the Shepherd still shall claim,
The saints who never learned to pray,
The friends who never spoke his name.
Dear Master, while we hear Thy voice,
That says 1.-THE truth shall make You free,
Thy servants still, by loving choice,

REPUBLICAN SIMPLICITY.
How the President Found a secretaey's
House ON Stormy Evening.


Washington Republican.
About three weeks ago Minister and Mrs.
Hunt gave their farewell reception prior to
their departure for Russia. A little incident
In connection with that reception Is now
given showing the simplicity of our Republi-
can institutions. The night In question was
fearful one; rain fell In torrents, and there
seemed to be no cessation to Jove's tears.
The President had signified his intention of
being present at the reception, but his car
riage was sent TO a certain Senatorial resi-
dence to convey some ladies who were de-
sirous Of attending, and, in place of his own
stylish equipage, the President gave orders
to hire carriage from livery stable, and
directed the driver to take him to Minister
Hunts residence, first asking the driver If he
knew where 1t was, to which an affirmative
answer was given. Through the binding
storm the President was driven, the carriage
stopping at house, that from the outside,
did not look as If brilliant reception was
in progress. The Chief Magistrate ascended
the stairs, rang the bell, and inquired for
Minister Hunt. The saddle-colored Mercu-
ry who opened the door looked surprised
and said:
"He don't live here"
"Who does ?" was asked.
Representative H."
"Tell him would like to see him." said
the unlimited guest.
But the Honorable Member from NJ
could not be seen, as he was cleseted with
some gentlemen aid had given orders not to
be disturbed. The President Is man of
expedients, so he asked to see Mrs. ii. He
was ushered into the parlor, and found that
lady by the domestic hearth, surrounded by
bevy Of small children. The lady was not
exactly In reception attire. When she saw
her distinguished visitor she started to her
feet In amazement, but the President in a
few words explained the predicament he was
in, and asked his hostess If she could tell
him where Minister Hunt lived. This she
could not do, but her visiting list would sup
ply the desired information. Mrs. Ii. went
to table for that indispensable article,
while the President waited, holding hi hat
and coat In his hand. The children gazed
In open-mouthed amazement at the scene.
or course the book was not where II ought
to have been, and every drawer in the room
was searched for the missing article. But
the search was fruitless. As last resource
the lady went up stairs to her bedroom and
there found what she wanted. The infor-
nation was communicated to the President,
who went his way, nobody else at the time
knowing anything Of the little occurrence,
and as a carriage could not be procured, he
had to walk the balance Of the journey.
This Is the way President Arthur attended
Mrs. Hunts farewell reception.

HABITS OF THE HAIR.
Why 1t Falls Out and Turns Gray and
When It win Grow on a Bald Head.

A prematurely bald physician in Thirty
fifth street was asked number Of questions
about the growth and habits of hair.
ain the first place." he said, edo you know
what hair is?"
"Only in general way, perhaps"
"Then let me tell you in word. 1t Is an
elongated epidermic appendage. Its essen
tial structure consists of an assemblage oil
epidermic cells, at the bottom Of flask.
shaped follicle in the substance OF the skin,
supplied with blood by vessels distributed to
Its walls"
"Can hair be made to grow Oh bald
head ?"
"Not as a rule. In debilitated persons the
hair sometimes falls out spontaneously, oi
| with slight assistance, and if the bulb alone
comes away and the sheath and germ remain
behind, they are capable Of reproducing the
hair, under proper treatment and favorable
circumstances. The short and pointed hairs
on the scalp Of old people show that new
shafts are constantly forming. The nutri-
ton of hair is effected through vessels which
are in contact with their tissue, without en-
tering into their structure, so that causes af-
fecting the general health, or affecting the
health of the skin, affect also the nutrition
of the hair"
"What causes premature badness ?"
"In great measure the violation Of by
gienic rules, and the excess of mental and
physical labor in a climate foreign to the
race"
sis there greater disposition to grayness
in this country than in Others"
"Well, some we'll informed people think
that 1t is about the same In all civilized
countries, but, If there is any difference. it Is
because of the hurried and unhealthful hab-
its of life and mental exercise among Amer
icans."
"What Is the chemical action which pro-
duces gray hairs?"
Accurately speaking, that's one of those
things that no fellow can find out. The
color of the hair depends partly on the pres
ence of the pigment granules, and partly On
the existence of miuute air spaces, which
cause it to appear dark by transmitted light.
In Albinos and gray-hsired persons this
coloring matter is simply absent"
"Is 1t the case that hair may, from extreme
fright or other strong emotions, turn white
in single nIght?"
ssIt is an undoubted fact. Just how the
change takes place is a matter for conjecture,
but it may perhaps be explained by some
chemical action upon the oily coloring mat
ter. This oily matter would be withdrawn
from the hair under conditions of cold, de-
bility or insufficient food"
"Does gray hair then become dead ?"
"Not by any means. The loss of vitality
does not necessarily follow the loss of color,
for gray hair often grows vigorously. For
that matter, hair will grow after the body's
death. One of the causes of premature
badness and grayness is tightly fitting and
unyielding hats"
care any of the preparations for restoring
the hair of any value ?"
"Tonies and stimulating applications are
sometimes beneficial. When the hair is thin
and falls out easily, shaving the scalp will
often produce thicker, frmer and darker
growth"
