Wonderful MonstrOSiiy.

A CHILD WITH TWO HEADS-ALIyE
WITH NO INDICATIONS OF DYING.
The parents Of this curious freak of
nature are Mr. and Mrs. Jones, who
live about FIVE miles north of Kemp
ton, in Upton county, Indiana. They
are young married folks, probably
about so years of age, and this is the
mothers second confinement, TIE first
child being two years old and nothing
abnormal about its development. The
monstrosity, for such it is, ard a
wonderful one, too, consists of a single,
continuous body, on each end OF
which is q we'll formed head. 1t is
provided with four arms and four
legs, which are also well formed and
about the normal size and shape. The
arms are located at the proper place
and on natural shoulders, one pair at
each end of the long body, but the
lower limbs protrude outward eacl
side at the middle of the elongated
being. The two heads tace the same
way, and the legs are SO attached a.
to extend at right angles from th'
! middle Of the sides of the body. Their
is but one umbilicus, that being on th'
anterior surface and middle of tn
body, showing that the entire form
has been nourlshed through one an
the same cord during the entir
period Of embryonic life. There IL

genital organs and that the voluntar

From this must be deducted their

months, ending Dec. 1857, S37O,OOO,

Thus it will be seen that the Eran, OF

three-fourths, made more than f5,5OO,-

business each year after the war reach
Ing from $20,OOO,0O0 to $3O,OO0,ooO

The Deadly Cigarette.

Figures. It is said. never lie, though !
the makers IT them sometimes do.
But chemical anaiysr, may to relied
upon with reasonable certainty, and
Prof. I.aii:n % noted scientist, says
that there are nve roisons in a cigar
ette-the oil in the paper, tie oil OF
nicotine, saltretrc to preserve the to-
bacco, opium to make Il mild, and Tie
oil in the hayorir-. \ good cigar has
but one poison the nicotine that Is
part and parcel OF the tobacco The
cigarette is thus four poisons ahead III
the race for death among tobacco
users.
1t is fact knoWa TO every smell
boy that mouthful of smoke blown
through a handkerchief will leave Il
brown STAN, but blown throuwh the
nostris, no stain will appear-it Is
left in the head aud throat. This stain
from a cigarette is a deadly comblna-
ton of the FIVE powerful poisons just
named, and when such a deadly agen-
cy is inhaled and left upon the lung
it is only a question Of time wheI
that necessary member will cease t'
DO active duty, ana then COLLAPSE
comes.
Cigarette smoking is doing more f
sap the foundation Of physirHl well
being in this country than any singl
agency. 1t gets in its deadly work Il
such a tender age that its injurlou
effects are often attributed to othe
causes. The sunken, hollow eyes, th
stunted growth, the tremor of the mus

moral side as well. With a recogn

Without an accident the corn CROP
Of Lincoln parish this year will be
ample to supply the local demand
without going abroad for it, as has
been the case this year. There is
vet great deal of old corn in the
parish, but it will hardly be sold this
season. We have heard complaint
from some, those VINO have a large
quantity Of corn on hand, that weevils
are damaging it very much, and in
some cases the corn is being eaten
literally up. The we.yil is the great
enemy of the corn raiser in this coun-
try, and the farmers ought to put on
