The other night the subject of
twins was up for consideration. The
resemblance of twins is always inter-
esting and some stories were told
which were new to the listener One
was about twin sisters, excellent
ladies, who lives near each other in a
Massachusetts town One Of these
twins was ailing somewhat and one
day her sister, bonnetless and shawl
less, ran in to see how she was and
found that the ailing one wanted her
to do an important errand. So she
put on the alling sisters shawl and
went to the store. Arriving there
she saw her own image in large
looking glass and exclaimed: "Why,
you decided to come yourself, after
all. | don't think you were well
enoughl" BY way Of the opposite Of
this story, a member ofsthe party
told of a country woman who was
asked if her twin sister resembled
her, "Laws, no!' exclaimed the old
lady 1--WE amt no more alike than 3

In answer to his query a pretty

girls, their eyes sparkling with keen
appreciation Of the humorous side of
the situation.

Van Elst did not speak.
"All right" said Garnet, gayly;
sit may be selfish Of me to speak
first, but I've given you the chance
and you've neglected to avail your
self of it. Well, old boy, the long

Elst, hardly able to believe what he
had heard.
"Floy Ashmore,' said Garnet
"and she is the dearest"
"What did you say her first name

"Floy,' replied Garnet, cor, to be
precise, Miss Florence Ashmore.

Exps riments Of a very interesting natuf 9
have recently been carried out for the pur-
pose Of ascertainlug exactly the relative re-
sistancs of various pigments to atmospheric
changes and to the corrosive action Of sea
water. The prevention Of corrosion by salt
water was found to be possible by the admir-
tire of the oxide Of some electro positi We
metal such as caustc lime and soda, but
the efficiency of such covering diminished
when its alkaline properties had been neu.

Experiments were recently made in Sweden

The following account from Berlin il
given of the artificial digestion of variously
cooked meats. Lean beer, eels and foun
ders were dige-ted in artificial gastri juice
The amount Of flesh thus pepton zed was ii
all eases greater than that of cooked meat
similarly treated. The flesh was shredded
and heated by steam to 100 deg. c. The
result was the same for beef as for fish
When compared with each other, beef was
on the whole, the most digestible, but the
amount of fish flesh which was peptonized
was sufficiently great to do away with the
evil repSte which fish still has IN Germany
as a proteid food. Smoked meat differed il

its digesubility.
