A Man With Two Hearts.

The Mercer County IN. J.) Medical
Society devoted the better part of It's
session on a recent afternoon to the ex-
animation of VIM. King, the colored
man who is said to have two hearts. He
is about forty-fve years of age. The
examination proved that he has divided
heart, such as is found in the lower
animal kingdom.
The heart beats are perccptible on both
sides, excepting that the sound is less
perceptible on the right than on the left.
He claims to be able to drop his ribs
like a set of double-action window
blinds, but this was done, it was
detected, by his control of the oblicu
transverse and rectus muscles. He
claims that he eau change the locality of
his double heart, but this was pro-
nounced piece of jugglery, the result
of long practice. He caused his hearts,
pulse and temple to cease beating for
period of sixty seconds. and the
physicians pronounced it successful
effort. King was in the county Jail
for being drunk and disorderly. He
announces that his mother discovered
his double heart when he was six months

England's Ancient Wild Cattle.

The ancient wild cattle of England,
known as the Chillingham race, having
been supposed to have contributed to
some extent to the blood of the exist
ing Shorthorn breed. These cattle are
white, but have red ears, and it is ex-,
ceedlngly curious to see these peculiar
marks appearing in America to this day
upon the common native cattle in some
parts of the Southern States. If this is
not an example of atavism or the reap
pearance of ancient peculiarities in.
herited, and if it does not Point to or
suggest some connection between this
ancient race and the present stock, what
is it2 But an interesting circumstance
in regard to this ancient breed is cross
recently made between wild cow and q
pure Shorthorn bull of a white color,
The produce of this cross is half-breed
steer that was exhibited at the recent
Smithfeld (England) Fat Cattle Show
by the Earl of Tankervllle, the pro-
prietor of the cattle and of Chillingham
Park, where they have been kept for
more than 900 years. The result of the.
cross has been another steer and three
heifers, upon which another cross has
been made with view to infuse the new;
blood in the Shorthorn stock.-Ns0 York.

Duty of Giving.

The Committee on Systematic Benefcence,
appointed BY the Presbyterian General As
;embly, sends the following to The Church
ut Home and Abroad: ''The old-time
method of collection picking up what is
carolessly dropped in the box, will no longer
serve the purpose. A dollar means much less
to the giver today than it once did, and on
the other hand it is worth more to send the
Gospel: The people are to give dollars where
now thoy give pennies. God has given us
the ability. It involves, in many cases, less
self-denial to give dollar than generation
ago it did to give a penny. The duty OF
giving is the great duty because it is the
great need Of the Church. 1t is not some
thing that if we are very, good we
may properly expect will be done. 1t is
duty. Every man ought to give. 1t is an
appeal to the conscience, rot the heart. Love
to the Lord will inak, It easy and delightful;
but every Christian is bound to ask and an
swer the question, How much ought I to
give? What is my duty? He who goes to
the Word cf God will find that every mans
duty is ut least one-tcnth, and more as God
proSperS him.

A Mother of Men.

Years ago a family of four-a father, q
mother and two sons--dwelt in small house
situated in the roughest locality of the rocky
town Of Ashford, Corn. Tho family was
very poor; few acres of stony land, dozen
sheep and one cow supported them. The
sheep clothed them, and the cow gave milk
and did the work of a horse in ploughing and
narrowing; corn bread, milk and bean-por-
ridge were their fare. The father being Laid
aside by i'll health, the burden of supporting
the family rested on the mother; she did her
work in the house and helped
the boys do Jhel. work on the
farm Once, in the dead of win
ter, one of the boys required new suit OF
clothes; there was neither money nor wool
on hand. The mother sheared the half
grown fleece from sheep, and in one week
the suit was on the boy. The shorn sheep
was protected from the cold by garment
made of braided straw. The family lived
four miles from the meeting house" yet
every Sunday the mother and her two sons
walked to church. One Of these sons be-
came the pastor Of a church in Frank
lin, Connecticut, to which he preached
for sixty-one years; two generations
went tn from that church to make the
world better The other son also became a
minister, and then one of the most successful
of college presidents; hundreds of young men
were moulded by him.
That heroic Christian woman's name was
Deborah Mott; she was the mother Of the
Rev. Samuel Mott, D. D., and Of Eliphalet
Mott, D. D. LII. D., president Of Union COL
lege.-N. y. Observer.

RELIGIOUS READING.
rTis EASY to Labor.

lis Easy Co bdDoF.
Tis easy to labor with hope as our guide,
To beckon us onward and brighten the
way;
To strengthen the heart till all foes are
And siren gthen the arm till all work is as
play.
Tis easy to conquer when friends us sur
round,
Ever sweet words of comfort to speak In
our ear;
To keep doubt away that else darkly had
frowned,
And keep from our vision the phantoms of
fear.
But what when the sweet star of Hope that
did guide
Is hidden by clouds that it may not dis
part?
And what if the comforting friends at thy
side :,
Stand silent or croak with the doubt in thy
heart?
Oh! give me the heart that through silence
May walk in the light, or with darkness
may COPE;
Oh! give me the heart which, If need, to the
end
May even fight on in the hope Of hope.
Yes, bravely strike forward, though left In
the dark,
Still keeping the course thatit held through
Yea, strike and keep striking, Lit but by the
spark
Which its brave, ceaselcss strokes bring out
of the night.

A Daily Occurrence.

Among modern millionaires, brewers have
in recent years become conspicuous. How
their wealth is accumulated by impoverish-
ing the poor is we'll illustrated by the Holyoke
Mass Transcript, which in late para
graph, headed Meat or Beer" says: ION
recent cold morning the very smallest size OF
a small 10y vent into market and asked
for five cents worth Of salt pork. 1t was
portioned out, and then the child showed two
cents more. and said it was for soup-bone.
The bone was produced, and as the market
man handed 1T TO the child, who was bare-
footed. though snow and ice were on tho
ground, he observed that he held in one hand
a large pail, and inquired what be was to get
in it. Beer said the small boy. To fill that
pail with beer would cost fifteen cents, which
was double the sum appropriated for the
family's food that day. This happens daily.
and, of course, the father doesn't work" "
There is. Of course, great need of temperance
missionary labor in such family; but the
State, also, in the interest Of economy, mo.
rality, and the general public welfare, should
interpose its rightful authority and close out

LEVI P. MoRToN's place at Rhine
beck, on the Hudson, was originally
purchased from the Indians in 1886 by
Gerrit Aartsen, Arrie Roosa, and Jan
Elting. In 1902 it was sold to Hen
drick Heermance, the son-in-law Of
Aartsen, who left it to his son-in-law,
Jacobus Kip. 1t remained in the Kip
family until 1914, when it was sold to
Maturin Livingston. 1t passed through
several other hands, until il was pur-
chased by William Kelley, of New
York, who added 1000 acres to it,
spent fortune on it, and whose heirs
at his death sold it at sacrifice to Mr..
Morton. Mr.. Morton has also spent a
fortune in improving it, and it will be,
when completed, one of the costliest
lin the United States.

Building.

Be careful how you build. Let nothing 60
to form your character that will not make it
better and stronger. Let each bi:ck be an
honest one, and let it be laid carefully, with
an earnest purpose to make Of yourself a
good, noble man or woman. If already poor
material has entered into your character,
seek divine help to remove it. Get out every
bad piece, every worthless habit. You
cannot afford to have only an ordinary, much
less weak, character. While building see
that you build of first-class material. You can
build but one character in a lifetime, and it
is to be yours for eternity; so make it the
very best possible. But no character can be
Quilt of the best material unless we go to the
Bible for it, nor built in the best way unless
under tho direction of Jesus, the Master
builder. Gathering your material from the
Word of God, laying every portion with the
trowel of prayer and under the direction Of
Jesus, the great Master, your character will
be one that will stand all trials, pass all tests,
and remain through eternity well worth the
lifetime it took to build it.-F'o11oard.

Ups and Downs in One Mans Life.

1t is wonderful what changes of for
tune come to an energetic man in New
York city. One day, some time ago, L
met an acquaintance who had large
store, where he did a paying business.
A few months later I met him again.
He asked for small loan to buy his
breakfast. He had indorsed notes for a
friend who had failed, and had become
bankrupt. Still later I casually ran
against him when he had just finished
contract for building water works for a
country town, and was revcling in
wealth. When I next saw HIM his
finances had again run down to nil, and
he was in desperate straits for money:
But his lucky star rose again, and I
heard of him building railway for some
capitalists. The last time I saw him he
had just finished block Of apartment
houses uptown and had large bank &C.

Lend q Hand.

There is a sublime order in human life as
we'll as in the universe which surrounds and
sustains it; an order which comprehends all
needs, co-ordinates all action, and provides
for all growth. The chemical relations Of
matter are but imperfect types of the delica-
cy, the multiplicity, and the inclusiveness Of
mcfal relations. All things which men
touch through any sense, by any thought, in
any act dstil some moral quality and react
either for good or i'll. We are played upon
by influences too many for our comprehen-
sion, too delicate for our observation, too
far-reaching for our foresight. When we
seem to be sacrificing things most precious
to us we are often receiving them back in
some finer and imperishable form: when we
seem to be working solely for others we
are often serving ourselves in the highest
and noblest way.
Doing for others, bearing the burdens Of
others, indentifying ourselves with the strug-
giles and labors Of others, help nightly In
the working out Of our own lives. It is wise
to drop resolutely our difficulties at times to
turn aside abruptly from the questions which
soul and gives the mind q new grip on the
perplexing problems. Mathematicians car
rying on extended calculations sometimes
find themselves forced to clear their minds of
figures and betake themselves to some other
occupation or amusement; wheD the mind
mas recovered its tone the tangles of tie prob.
lem are swiftly Strengthened out.
Every life needs large and no
BILE diversion from its perplcxities and
cares; needs a catholic sympathy with
others to preserve it from seltshuess; a
steady and hearty cooperation with others
to give its own work breadth and soldity.
No sane man lives for himself; sooner or
later a life wholly self-centered loses its
soundness and becomes distorted and dis
easet The two elements of self-develop.
ment and care for the interests of others
must be kept in equipoise if harmony, SYM
metry and largeness Of character are to be
secured and maintained.
Not to be ministered unto, Lut to minister,
was the aim of the divinest life ever lived

WHAT sad thing it is that those who
admire other peoples work, or appreci-
ate their heroism, are so often silent
about it until the work and the strug-
gle are over. The praise is such grim
mockery when it is uttered above the
folded hands and the placid brows, as
numb as Dante's own" The great need

P. 7. Barnum, the great show man, has
made the following startling proposition:
~ will undertake to give bonds for the full
fillment of contract that it the city OF fhh-
adelphia will stop selling liquor, and give
me as much as was expended for her
liquor last year, to run the city next year;
1 will pay all the city expenses; no one snali
give taxes; there shall be no insurance on
property: good dress suit shall he given to
every poor man, woman, boy and girl; all
the educational expenses shall be paid; o
barrel of -four shall be given to every needy
and worthy person, and shall clear half
million or million dollars by the operation.
