Mr.. Gallon has shown that many
twins do actually behave under similar
circumstances in almost identical
manners; that their characters often
come as close 10 one another as it is
possible for the characters OF two
human beings to come, and that even
where the conditions of later life have
been extremely different, the origi-
nal likeness of type often persists TO
the very end, In spite of superficial
variations In style or habit of living.
Some of his stories, carefully verified,
are very funny. l will supplement
them with two of my own. In one
case couple of twins (men) had a
quarrel over perfectly unimportant
matter. They came to very high
words, and parted from one another
in bad blood. On returning TO their
rooms-they lived apart-each.of them
suffered from a fit of remorse, and sat
down TO write letter of contrition TO
the other. TO be delivered by the
morning post. After writing 1t one
brother read his letter over, and recall
ing the cause of the quarrel, added at
once long postscript, justifying him
self and reopening the whole question
at issue. The other brother posted
his note at once, but thinking the
matter over quietly, afterwards re-
GREETED his action again, and supple
mented it by second palinode, al
most unsaying what he had said in the
first one. / saw all three letters my
self the next morning and was simply
amazed at their absolute sameness Of
feeling and expression.--From the
CbrnhM Magazine.

Canned Goods.

The Grocrs' Chronicle insists that the
fact that canned goods are cooked goods
cannot DO too widely known or care
fully remembered by users. They are
not put Np in vessels from which they
are to be eaten when convenient to
consumers. but arc only packed in tins
in order TO preserve them. No canned
goods are guaranteed TO keep fresh
and remain sound for any number of
days after being opened. When opened
the contents of the tin should be imme-
diately turned out aud eaten as soon rs
possible. IL the food must be kept

place; always. however. turn out OF

Edward Lear, author of the "Book
OF Nonsense" is dead over in Eng
land, and we now learn that he was an
artist by profession, writer by ayoca-
ton, and particular friend of Tenny-
son, being much given TO metaphysical
speculation. His fame, however, rests
on nonsense verses, like this;
"Thcrc was an old fellow Of Crewd
Who lived upon sawdust for food;
It's cheap by the ton
And IL nourishes one
And that's the chief virtue Of food"
Or like this, which we take 10 be the best
OF the now very familiar sort:

Shall I fee from this terrible cowg

And continue 60 smile,
Which may soften the heart OF this cowP"
