Twins Once IN Ninety Births

There Is a wonderful lack of stats
tics in this country. particularly in
births, and some steps should be taken
to remedy it. Statistics are dull
things at best, to be sure. but they
have their value, especially in COM
parsons. In the old countries, for in
stance, it has been ascertained that
twins are born once out of 80 births,
while triplets are to $3.50. This we
can scarcely believe. 1t does not seem
possible that twins are - frequent ae
one to ninety. but it has been found tc
be the case in census after census.
Just in the same way triplets seem to
be more numerous than to $3.50. but
that they are not has been equally well
proven. Here we know what the birth
rate Is compared to the population.
but we can't tell il We have a. many
double and triple births as they do in
the old country. l believe We have,

ninety children into the world. and
have never even had any experience

The plea Of insanity q . defense In

threadbare. but . device by which the
same effects are secured seems to be
working admirably. Nowadays It is
the fashion to claim that the criminal
In any action. whether it be theft,

victim OF sun-stroke. Apparently
sun-stroke is the most convenient thing
q person can possibly have. 1t allows
him to continue his ordinary course of
life uninterruptedly. but confers upon
him the privilege of doing any thing
his vagrant fancy may suggest, quite
unhampered by moral or legal restric-
tons.
The Irishman who described ''child
of fancy as a child who did whatever
he fancied was not very far out Of the
way in describing the condition of q
man who has been 80 fortunate as to
have q sunstroke. That lucky acci-
dent places him above responsibility.
A man in a Western city amused him
self recently by firing revolver into
a crowd. wounding three persons, one
Of them fatally. A physicians certifi-
cate was produced, stating that, owing
to the effect of sunstroke received in
India, the prisoner was at times ire
sponsible for his actions. OF course
here was nothing to be said after
that, and even the idea of shutting the
man up seemed to his intelligent and
impartial judges a superauous precau-
ton. He was allowed to 60 at large

the inference being that the officials
themselves were not troubled by any
thing of that sort.
It would not be difficult to multiply
instances, although it is hardly neces-
sary; whoever has thought of the mat
ter must have recognized the con-
vincing nature of the argument from
sunstroke when properly applied to
the average jury. To one who has any
inclination toward a disregard Of the
laws of sunstroke would seem to be of
the greatest possible benefit. 1t is
thing, moreover. SO easy to have, SO
difficult to disprove, and so admirably
flexible in its effects, that it would
seem a matter of the most obvious
policy for whoever is likely ever to
find himself at variance with authority
to provide himself with q certificate
of sunstroke at Once.-Bost0n Courier.

This Il very extraordinary" he
said. II myself wrote and sealed

not since been tempered with. The
seal was intact. and the paper un-
doubtedly the same upon which
wrote. Here are marks to prove it;
but the writing itself, with the sigma.
lures, have disappeared"
Every body stared. Ambrose Peck,
with white face and wild eyes, came
forward.
"W-what ink did you use?" he
gasped
The lawyer turned suddenly to Miss
Judd.
Miss Judd, can you produce the
bottle of ink which you presented me
for the writing of this will?"
mo. SIR" promptly replied the
lady. rising as if on the witness-stand
of court of justice. If you re-
member, I informed you when went
for you that there happened to be no
ink in the house. and asked permission
totake bottle from your Office, which
I did while you put on your coat; and.
after the will was written. / requested
you to take the bottle back with goo to
the Office, which you did"
Certainly. I remember now; a
bottle with a mulberry-colored label
or wrapper, which I had noticed on
your desk, Mr.. Peck. Perhaps it
would be as well to produce it."
Mr.. Peck turned his eyes wildly up
on Miss Judd. What he saw in the
gaze which unflinchingly met his own.
only himself knew, but he at once,
without uttering word, sank limp
and helpless into chair, trembling as
though under stroke of palsy.
The affair was q more than nine
days wonder to the good people of
the town. For there ensued a very
complicated lawsuit, in which it was
finally decided that no legal and au-
thentic will of the late Mrs. Jollifer
had been or could be produced; her
whole property naturally reverted to
her niece, Mrs. Hayes. So Alice and
the doctor were enabled to marry
without further waiting, and were
happy; while Miss Judd set up mil

INDIANS IN FLORIDA.

Indolent Red Men Who Employ Negroe
to Till Their Lands.
Way down on Indian river is an en-
terprising colony, which two years agt
had to depend on forty-mile sail-boa'
route for their mail, and all freight, as
we'll. Their pretty little town is two
miles from the Atlantic coast, and has
a line of steamers and Geographic com.
munication.
Two miles from town one can hear
the call of the panther, wildcat and
cry of the sand-hill crane, and there is
an eagles nest in the top of a dead
pine tree. The nest is about fifteen
feet in circumference.
1t Is not an unusual thing for man
at work on hishomestead in this vi
cinity to feel the nearness of human
presence, and look up to find a Semin-
ole Indian standing before him. When
saluted the Indian says: ''How. how"
If in q mood for talking he
will answer questions for awhile
in broken English. but will
generally leave you in the midst of
your sentences. These Indians often
bring in venison, and few days since
one suddenly confronted US with a
good supply. Among other questions
he was asked if Charlie OsceOla was
now their chief.
'.No-have no chief-he sleep long
sleep"
They live In the everglades and de-
pend on, hunting and agriculture for
subsistence. This section of Florida is
not swamp. as some imagine. but a
low plane covered with hillOcks and
ranges of hummock land. The soil is
very rich. The Indians raise corn.
hogs, cattle, potatoes. bees-in short,
they live on the fat of the land. Fresh
fish, oysters, bear meat and venisOn
are free to them. They celebrate tho
maturing of the crops by the green
corn dance. If white is present at
this feast honors are heaped upon him.
The Indian says: white man first
Indian next, my dog next, negro last"
They have negroes who do their farm
work. and this is. perhaps, the secret
of their success in agriculture. They
are not under the care of the Govern
mentor. Detroit Free Press.
