INDIANA'S HUMAN FREAK.
The Double Child at Howard as Described by
DIR. ThOrne.


Dr. ThOrne
Since the Indianapolis Sentinel pub
lished the fact that a double baby had
been born in this county, says a Kokomo
correspondent of that paper, there has
been a critical examination made of the
freak by several physicians. 1t is now
settled that the double child, or the
Jones girls, as it is called, has just as
good a chance to live apparently as any
baby that ever was born, Dir. j. c..
Thorne, one of the examining board
says that it is 1.-the most wonderful freak
in the way Of living malformation that
has ever been recorded. - The doctor
says further ''The freak represents
twin birth, each child having entirely
separate and independent organism, and
each representing marked deformIty,
besides the defOrmity that eXcites the
wonder and pity of everyone that sees it
that of being inseparably joined to-
gether. The deformity consists of n de-
Election of the lower part of the spine
and body, each toward the left, the de-
Election being sufficient to bring the line
of the pelvis and lower extremities TO
right angle with the body, so that the
are the two to the left side of the body
That this condition is the true one is
proven by the position of the outlets of
the alimentary canal, the bladder and
generative organs. These outlets are al
ways through the pelvis, and that they
are at the sides or the body in proper re-
lation to the limbs is sufficient to prove
that this is the line of the pelvis, and that
the spine is not continuous from one head
to the other. Observing the motions of
one child, it was seen in a fit.of restless
ness to throw its arms and kick with the
feet only of one side, the other child be-
ing asleep at the time and perfectly
quiet. The soles of the feet are directed
outward or away from the body, as are
also the iey lures of the knee joint, and
the patella or knee cap is on the side of
the knee toward the body. -
DR.. Cooper contributes the following:
"Several OF us physicians, accompanied
by our wives, drove to the scene of the
noted Jones twin birth. On entering the
gate we met dr. Jones, the grandfather,
who ushered us into the bedroom where
lay the mother and twins on one bed.
They had just nursed, and one already
fallen to sleep. The other was awake,
kicking its heels into mid-air, appar-
emily inviting a play, as infants much
older do. They are evidently a little
subject to precocity. Upon physical
examination, first of the anterior
region, we found apparently one con-
tinuous abdomen with one umbilicus,
centrally located. But closer investiga-
ton convinced us that there existed dis
tlnet and separate abdominal and pelvic
viscera. Posteriorly we found the spinal
column TO be perfectly normal, terminal
ing in a coccyx naturally curved and APP
proximating its fellow of the opposite
side to an inch and one-haIf. Laterally,
or upon side centrally attached, are
the inferior extremities (legs) Between
them aud posteriorly are the outlets for
the abdomen and the pelyis. The legs
are placed one on each side and not both
on one side, as has been asserted. -

GRANBURY, TEX. July S.-The Fort

WASHINGTON. July S.-Interest in the
pugilistic contest between the two great
chiefs of the hstio art has overshadowed
every other topic IN Washington to-day
and even the office-hunters seemed for
the time to forget their individual strug-
Gle in the excitement over the battle
royal that was being waged in the South.
There was not much money wagered here
as Washington could scarcely be called a
sporting center, but on the whole, pub
lie sentiment clearly predominated in
favor of Kilrain, as he claims the neigh
boring city of Baltimore for his home.
some time ago, shortly after the new
administration came in, Gen. Sherman
called on the president and telling him
that he had only one favor to ask of the
administration begged him TO keep in
office his former foe, the leader of the
forces that opposed his march to the sea,
Gen. Joseph f. Johnston, whom Cleve-
land made commissioner of railroads. 1t
was said at the time that Sherman OBJ
tanned his request and it was supposed
the old Confederate hero would keep his
place, but to-day's papers announce his
resignation
Judge Bell, ex-judge Of the supreme
court of Texas, when asked to express
his views on the proposed emigration of
Texas negroes to Mexico, said that it was
movement worthy of encouragement;
that it would solve the race question so
far as Texas was concerned, and that as
there was no race prejudice in Mexico
the social status OF the negro would
be higher in that country. He
also favored cultivatlng friendly relations
with the sister republic so as to event.

A Seat in CONGRESS Lost at Cards.
81. PAM Pioneer -

The novel fact that Gen. George L..
Becker was once elected to congress, but
was beaten out of his seat in a game of
seven-up, is probably known by few at
the present time. It was III the fall of
1857. The territory of Minnesota had
just been organized, preparatory 70 adj
mission as state the following year,
and three men were elected to the
lower house OF congress, to-wlt:

The Ten Health Commandments.


l. Thou shalt have no other food than
at meal time.
3. Thou shalt not make unto thee any
pies or put into pastry the likeness of
anything that is in the heavens above or
in the waters under the earth. Thou
shalt not fall to eating it or trying to
digest it. For the dyspepsia will be Wis
tied upon the children to the third and
fourth generation OF them that eat pie ;
and long life and vigor upon those that
live prudently and keep the laws of
health.
3. Remember thy bread to bake it
well; for he will not be kept sound that
eateth his bread as dough.
4 Thou shalt not indulge sorrow or
borrow anxiety in vain.
g. Six days shalt thou wash and keep
thyself clean. and the seventh thou shalt
take a great bath, thou and thy son, and
thy daughter, and thy man-serYant and
the maid servant, aud the stranger that
is within thy gates. For in six days man
sweuts and gathers filth and bacteria
enough for disease; wherefore the Lord
has blessed the bathtub and hallowed it
8. Remember thy sitting room and bed
chamber to keep them ventilate, that
thy days may be long in the land which
the Lord thy God giyeth thee.
Z. Thou shalt not eat hot biscuit.
s. Thou shalt not eat thy meat fried
g. Thou shalt not swallow thy food
unchewed, or highly spiced, or just be-
fore hard work, or just after it.
10. Thou shalt not keep late hours in
thy neighbor' ; house, nor with thy
neighbor 3 wife, nor his man servant
nor his maid servant, nor his cards. nor
his glass, nor with anything that is thy
nelghbor IS.
