A Man With Two Hearts.

The Trenton medical society devoted
the better part of its session one afternoon
last week to the examination Of William
King, the colored man who is said to
have two hearts. He is about As years of
age. The examination proved that he had
a divided heart, such as is found in the
lower animal kingd M. The heart beats are
perceptible on both sides, except that the
sound is less perceptible on the right than
ON the left. He claims to be able to drop
his ribs like set Of double action window
blinds, but this was done, it was detected,
by his control of the obllque, transverse
and rectus mu scles. He claims that he
can change the locality of his double
hearts, but this was pronounced q piece Of
ju8glery, the result st long practice. He
used his hearts, pulse and temple 70
oease beating for period OF SIXTY seconds
and the physicians pronounce it . sscsess-

for being drunk and disorderiy. He an
nounoes that his mother discovered his
double heart when he was six months old.

WHAT rs LUCK.

A philosophical definition of luck is
given by an English writer as caps-
bility of being incapable. sThe first
Rothschild was probably right. from his
point of view, when he said that he
never would employ an uulucky man.
On the other hand, the lucky man is
usually the man who fits his fortunes;
who, whether apparently able or stupid,
can do just what his especial circum-
stances require him to do. Very stupid
men are often ready men, armed with a
readiness as of dogs when they
twist from under cartwheel unhurt.
The fool who makes fortune is; usually
a man with just the foresight
or just judgment or the intuitive
perception of the way things
are geing-a faculty like long
sight or keen hearing, and independent
Of intellectual power-requisite to make
large profits quickly. In fact, the for
tune man is usually the man who,
in consequence of some hiden quality in
his nature, deserves fortune. "-Pop1tldr
