'.siamcse" Twins in Cannes.

"Infant phenomena" in the style Of
the Siamese twins have, according to a
telegram received from Cannes, Just
made their appearance in a village in the
neighborhood of that town. The babies,
who belong to the fairsex, are connected
by q aligament which binds them back to
back, but, barring this eccentricity of
nature, they are described as being re-
markably well formed, and apparently
very healthy. Their mother is French
woman Of 25 summers, whose family
had been settled in the village for years.
1t is needless. to say that the infants
are being examined with considerable
curiosity by the doctors in that part of
the country, who are of opinion that the
death of one Of the twins would at once
be attended with fatal results to the
other. so that their lives HAY be regarded
as hanging literally on thread. This
was the case with the Siamese twins,
and with one OF two other phenomena Of
the same character. London Tit Bits.

Window Mementos.

The morbid curiosity of some people
was shown in connection with the death
of Secretary Window at the board of
trade dinner at Delmonico's The menus,
800 of which had been printed for the
occasion. cost the board just $50. The
day following the dinner as much as $25
was offered for one, so great was the de-
sire in certain quarters to secure some
souvenir Of the sad event. Half an hour
after the assemblage had dispersed every
scrap of paper, leaf and flower had been
carried away.
Manager Tillman, Of Delmonicos, told
me that the day following the banquet
he was overrun with applications for
menus.
"We had dozen copies Of WINDOWS
speech for the newspapers" said a men,
Der of the board, 'sthat cost us few
pennies to have struck off. We have
received from one man $1OO for one of
the copies. We are now having printed
a memorial of the sad affair for distribu-
ton among the members of the board. I"

The s.nvea Tlower.

1t will be Il btlsy spring when we fail
to call your attention to the primrose,
and there is u very good reason why the
little annual suggestion in this. news
paper should not be omitted. Many. oh,
so many people love the primrose. To
them probably it has its own sugges-
tions, and particularly to English born
people, whose poet made it famous, but
yet even the youth seem to love the
sturdy little flower, and they certainly
never saw it by the rivers bank when
they were boys and girls. OF course a
man loves his youth time, and he is
justified in it. If a primrose makes
him think of laving his bare toes in the
limpid waters of the stream in the
drowsy day when he was only 10 or 10,
and had aworld before him, why, let
him love it on forever, till he dies.
In that event, once each year, at least,
when he sees the flower, he will be a boy
again, and that will do him no harm, if
he were a good boy and loved the fields.
If you doubt this sentiment you need to
watch people who are glad when the
primroses come into the stores. Most of
them enlzintlle. Some matronly looking
danes take it up tenderly and kiss it
and say, "Bless the dear" ssHey, Mar
tina, here's the little mon-the little prim-
rose," said another. And it is SO sturdy
in its uprightness and so.open faced a
plant that you may forgive a sigh for
vanished days as you watch the good
folks and their solicitude for the
flower that suggests so much.-Lewiston

The first c;;::..Giage contained the body of

New York Independent: We must
thank President Harrison for one of the
most important acts of his administra-
tion, done just before he left for his
western tour-one that will remove
much of the discredit that attaches to
our conduct of the Indian service. Pres
ident Harrison has extended the civil
service rules to the Indian service, SO as
to include all physicians, school super
intendents and assistant superinten-
dents, teachers and matrons. covering
in all between six and seven hundred
persons. He took the matter under
consideration more than year ago, and
has thus simply carried out long cher
ished purpose. The action had the
hearty endorsement and earnest recon-
mendation of the secretary of the inter-
ior and the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs.
