The Twins of Locana, Not sinm.


John and Jacob TocCi, the twins of IOca-
na who have been shown in almost every
city OF Europe as the successors of the ta-
nous Sismese twins, are dying in Vienna.
Their mother is a strong, healthy country
wcman. The boys resemble each other eN-
actly, have pretty, delicate teatl rts, and
are now in their tenth year. John and
Jacob are separate as far as the sixth RIB,
and have one abdomen and one pair Of legs
between them. Jacob moves the right
leg John the left. The twins can not walk,
and keep their balance by lacing their arms
around each others neckS. Jacob eats often
and hearty, and Is the healthier of the two,
and to all appearance II Is he who keeps ms
brother alive. Two days ago the twins
quarrelled over toy, and john grew 50 eX-
cited that his heartbloOd suddenly ceased
to flow, and he changed Ia a condition OF
complete lethaTgy, from which he had not
woke on the following morning. lhe boy
suffered from the same complaint year
ago in Berlin, and Prof. Nrchow then de-
clared that a recurrence Of the lethargy
would put all end to the twins life.
A number of Vienna physicians are OBJ
serving the malady, but they retain little
hope for Johns life, and if John dies Jacob
must follow him Ia the grave. The twins
a. they lie in their bed offer strange con
traSt, Jacob with feyeriSh eyes and red
face seems to harbnr all the blood that has
retreated from Johns lifelcsS body. The
conscious boy cries necessarily, because h"
has often heard Prof. NirchOw's remark
repeated, and knows that his brothers
death is but the harbinger of his own. The
poor creatures are meeting the same fate
that some time ago put an end to the lite of
the Siamese twins, the second of whom died
of poisoned blood vessels, after having
spent six terrible hours with the corpse of
his brother. The adviSahility OF an operation
separating the living from the dead brother
was discussed at the time, but before res
ulution could be taken death had done its
work. The twins of loCana who for the
last eight years have travelled Ia all the
worlds shows. were to have left tomorrow
for New York, where Barnum is said 10
have engaged them for a year al a salary of
30, 900 francs. In the event of their death
the parents have sold their body to Lon

Mrs. II. c. Harris, of Harlem, fondly
shows the work of twenty years in 5000
buttons collected from every quarter of
the globe. A New York journal printed
a most interesting account of this novel
and wonderful collection, and says the
work began on u wager in Portland di-
reCtly after the war, when people belle
that there was not more than 999 different
kinds of buttons in the world. In less
than a year the 500 had been collected,
and in tour years 5000 buttons, all differ
ent, many of them beautiful in design,
and many brilliant and beautiful in color.
Som have come from old wars and ia
nous battletields, some from gold mines
and poor-hOuses, some have been brought
half around the world to her by sea cap
tains some from shipwrecks, some just
from the button counter, and some are
dignified old buttons that have seen life
in previous century. 1t is a marvellous
! collection, arranged in eight strings OF
| 1000 buttons each; but without wishing
to Oyerwhelm the undertaking with
cold water and discourage any imitation
of the noble hobby, let it be remembered
| that its original protector bears the name
Of Mrs. Harris-a name forever asso-
ciated with myths and the imaginative
! performances of the immortal Mrs. Camp.

NEW REVISION OF The SCRIPTURES.
Half Dozen Women at Work on An
other TranSIation-Its FeatureS

Half Dozen Women at Work on An
other Translstion-Its Features.
While in New Jersey had peep into
a most interesting sanctrm l saw the
Woman's Binle committee at work In u
richly furnished drawing room, about a
broad table half dozen women with in
telligent faces and busy pens. Each one
had cheap bible, which was being read
with care, and ever and anon verse
would be cut out bodily by a pair of scis
sOrs and pasted at the top of long sheet
of white paper. Then the other ladies
would cut from their bible the selfsame
verse, and when all had their text before
them they would begin TO discuss it in
turn. One of these commentators is an
excellent Greek and Hebrew scholar, an
other is deeply versed in current Biblical
criticism. while still another has gone
through with care all the big tones Of
the great commentaries like those Of
Henry, Scott, and DIR Adam Clarke.
After the verse in question has been
fully discus sed, each lady writes under it
what she has to say about it and then
all the sheets are passed on to secre-
tary. This secretary, recent Nassar
graduate cuts out the verse from another
than those that have been just handed to
her. and then carefully copies under it all
the notes made by the learned ladies sit
ting abOut the board.
Some of your readers will begin to ask,
"But what does all this mean" This was
exactly the question that | put to the
eldest lady of the group, who seemed TO
be the presiding genius of the conclave,
aftar I haH -xx-itp paSSaI ph hat I
have just recOunted in the foregoing para
graph. We'll" began my friend, with
merry twinkle in the eye, I'VE women
mean to do what you men have been doing
for centuries; you have revised the scrip
lures after your fashion, and now we in
tend to do the same thing after our fash
ion. We have gone over the Old and New
Testaments with great care, and we find
that about One-tenth of the Bible touches,
in one way or another, on us women. Now
we want To know whether male transla-
tions, interpretations, and commentaries
have been made in a spirit friendly to our
sex. We and q eat many other women
have our doubts on this point. In word,
we propose issuing what may be called
The Woman's Bible On our revising
committee sit able women from England
and America. We have a well known
publisher who stands ready TO take our
manuscript, and before this time next
summer we hope to give to the world the
Bible as revised by women"
This very bold speech was delivered in
very gentle manner, and the lady then
fell to work again, one on the board"
having discovered another passage that
was to be dealt with in the way already
described. ] returned to New York, pom
dering over this strange scene and this
conversation, and | became convinced
