HUMANITY IN PAIRS.
now Twins are Welcomed In Different
Parts Of the World.

Few things are more mysterious than
Nle undefnable sympathy which often
exists between two beings who came
into the world together. There can be
no doubt that this sympathy is real
and not the effect of the imagination,
as some have supposed. So far as is
known il does not develop itself, and
when il is present its cause is not by
xny means understood. A real affec-
zion generally exists between twins,
and often seems TO show itself in the
earlier DAYS of infancy. IL is no un-
common thing for twin who has lost
ais or her counterpart to pine away.
dropping gradually into the clutches
OF the DESTROYER, who. in taking away
the other, has deprived life of all its
Joy. But though intense fondness is
no doubt TO a great extent the cause OF
such sad occurrences, the sympathy
which twins have for one another shows
aself here.
With many savage races twins are
hurried out Of tho world Immediately
they have entered it, others allow them
10 live, but only under certain cOndi-
lions In Western Africa, little
below the equator between 10 degrees
and II degrees east longitude, live a
large tribe called the I-hogo They
have many peculiar customs, but none
more 50 than their treatment of twins,
and Of the mother who is so uniortun-
ate as to bear them An idea seems to
exist with them that no woman ought
b. produce more than a single child at
a time, and they seek 10 rectify the
error by giving their deities every
chance OF killing one of the children
before they have arrived at the age ut
which they arc considered able TO take
care Of themselves. This is held 20 be
al about 6 years old. Once that age
has been passed it is thought by these
people that "A proper balance between
fife aud death has again been struck
and they do not deem any further pre-
@utions necessary. Immediately the
Birth Of twins takes place the hut in
which the event happened is marked in
some manner which will render it read

These scientific paradoxes are grouped
together in Blackwood's Magazine: The
water which browns us, a fluent stream
can be walked upon as ice. The bullet
which, when fired from a musket, carries
death, will be harmless if ground to dust
before being fired. The c~rystallized part
of the oil of roses, SO graceful in its fra
GRANGE, a solid at ordinary temperatures,
though really volatile, is a compound
substance containing exactly the same
elements, and in exactly the same pro-
portions, as the gas with which we light
our streets. The tea which we daily
drink with benefit and pleasure produces
palpitations, nervous tremblings, and
wen paralysis, if taken in excess; yet the
peculiar organic agent called theme, to
which tea owes its qualities, may be
taken by itself (as theme, not as tea)
without any appreciable effect.
The water which will allay our burn
ing thirst augments it when CONCEALED
into snow, SO that it is stated by ex-
plorers of the Arctic regions that the ma
tives prefer enduring the utmost ex-
tremity of thirst rather than attempt to
remove it by eating snow" Yet if the
snow be melted it becomes drinka5le
water. Nevertheless, although if melted
before entering the mouth it assuages
thirst like other water, when melted in
the mouth it has the opposite effect. To
render this paradox more striking, we
have only to remember hat ice, which
melts more slowly in the mouth, is very
efficient in allaying thirst.

In the Sixteenth century R~egiomanta-
mons made an iron fly which moved
through the atmosphere, and afterward
An automatic eagle which, on the arrival
Of the Emperor Macmillan at Nurem-
burg, flew forth to meet him.
But Of the most wonderful OF such
inventions Of which we have record was
a group Of automata constructed by
Philip Camuz for Louis XIV. This on
sisted OF a coach and four horses that
started off with a crack of a whip, the
horses prancing, t~rotting and galloping
in turn. 1t ran along until it got in
front Of the king. when it stopped. Then
q toy footman descended, and, opening
he carriage door, handed out a lady
with born grace as the records tell us.
The lady made a courtesy, presented a
petition to the emperor, re-entered her
carriage and was driven rapidly away.
Such is absorption of this most wonder
full automaton," concluded Mr.. Biare.
II never saw the toy itself, of course,
but the description just given to you
tallies almost word for word with an au-
thentic record. Imemorized the latter
at one time, SO marvellous did it seem to
me. "-Philadelphia Press.

which will be very acceptable wherever
there is desire to see bravery rewarded.

Fashion rules the world over. Every
people has customs OF it, own, many Of
them strange enough to outsiders- Mr..
Curtis, in his Capitals Of Spanish Amer
lea" comments upon one Of the curious
notions prevalent in Santiago, a city
which he describes as ''by far the most
modern and elegant fashionable resort
in South America Although the eli
mate Of Santiago Is similar to that of
Washington or st. Louis, the people
are unhealthful, and, except in DWELL
ings built by English or American resi-
dents, there Is nothing like a CRATE or
stove to be found. Every one wears the
warmest sort of underclothinR and
heavy wraps indoors and out. , The peo-
pie spend six months of the year in q
perpetual shiver and the other six in a
perpetual Precipitation. 1t looks rather
odd to see civilized people sitting in a
parlor surrounded by every possible lux
ury, fire alone excepted, wrapped in
furs and rugs, with blue noses and chat
tering teeth, when coal is cheap and the
mountains are covered with timber; but
nothing can convince a Chillano that ar
tifcial heat is healthful, and during the
winter, which is the rainy season, he
has not the wit to warm his chilled body.
1t Is odd, too, to see in the streets men
wearing fur caps, and with their threats
wrapped in heavy mufflers, while the
women who walk beside them have moth
ing at all on their heads. During the
morning, while on their way from mass,
or while shopping, the women wear the
manta, rs they do in Peru, but in the
afternoon, on the promenade or when
riding, they go bareheaded. The prevail
ing diseases are pneumonia and other
throat and lung troubles, and during the
winter the mortality from these causes is
immense, but the Chillano persists in be-
lieving that artificial heat poisons the at
mosphere, and when he visits the home
OF a foreigner, and finds a fire, he will
ask that the door be left ajar SO that he
may be as chilly as usual. At fashion
able gatherings, dinner parties and the
like. women may be seen in full evening
dress, with bare arms and shoulders,
while the temperature of the room is be-
tween 40 and so dogs. Fahrenheit.

What would the maverick fund amount
to if it was turned over to the schools, is a
question which is now being frequently
asked 10 the past two years it
amounted to about $4,000. In the next
two, under the operations OF the pro-
posed maverick law, we are in doubt If it
would reach that many hundred dollars
But leaving this question aside altogether.
why doesn't the maverick fund alone pro
vide enough money to conduct the affairs
of the stock commission. il they are eco
nomically managed? According to the
communication Of Mr.. Adams in the Sun
yesterday. even the stock commission pro
posed by him will only cost the territory
$l7, 700, of which amount he proposes to
pay inspectors in the ten counties 80. 000,
If the services Of the county inspectors
were dispensed with, only $500 would
be required. This would in all probabil
ity be covered by the sale of mavericks.
ii no combination was made to keep down
their price. An economical board might
worry along on ever q less expenditure
than $1,000 a year for stationery, print
ing. advertisements and postage
There is = universal cry against big ex
penditures for any purpose-whv not try
a board of stock commissioners on an
economical scale?

An Alarm not,ls for po,.o,.,

A Chicago man has invented a bottle
stopper to be used exclusively for poisons
The superiority over the old fashioned
article lies in the construction of the
stopper. The projection which enters
the neck of the bottle is ground gloss,
with a small hole in one side, through
which protrudes a little rod or trigger,
The top of the stopper is covered with a
small bell inclosing cog wheels, which
are so arranged that when the stopper is
removed the bell will ring. When it is
laid down it rings again, and when re-
turned to its place in the bottle it again
sounds an alarm. The mechanism is SC
arranged that it is absolutely impossible
to remove or replace the stopper without
first ringing the bell, thus making it i'm
possible for a druggist, if he is careful in
the filling Of his bottles, to deal out poi
