Cost of Billiards.

Probably few persons who sit around
q pool table witnessing a clever game
Of pool have any idea Of the time and
money necessary to become a crack
player of either pool or billiards. New
York boasts many fine amateurs. The
latter are to be found everywhere, for
that matter. l have seen men hang
ing about a livery stable in q country
village in their shirt sleeves who can
hole all the balls on an opening at
pool and can run fftics and hundreds
Mt French carrom. The good pool
player in New York is very often a
gambler and turns his skill into cash,
but alsaa1,nst play with other pool gam
blers who know his game usually, and
consequently, stands an equal show to
lose.
The great body Of pool and billiard
players, however, .Me In it for the
amusement and exercise. They spend
from an hour to four hours daily walk
ing around n table and punching :he

necessary to keep up practice. A dol

mate of the average expense in New

round a table isn't much for that kind
of q man. Twenty to forty years of

Of a man has on hand at the end of his
career. When you add the time and
the bad associations it seems that a
man ought to get more for his money
and get it in a more reasonable way

Bedbngs Worse than Microbes in Spread.
ing TuberculRr Disease.

Tho recent publication of a map OF
New Haven, showing the number Of
deaths from tuberculosis in the last
fourteen years to be about 5000. aud
indicating that there arc what may be
called tuberculosis districts in the city,
makes the general subject of tubercu-
losis and its propagation q matter Of
personal interest, says the New Haven
Register. The theory of DR.. De Forest,
who prepared the map, is, we believe,
that there arc certain houses in the
tenement house districts that are fav.
orablc to the spread of this disease.
Deaths from it have occurred there,
and are likely to occur again. Infected
houses arc n means CT spreading the
disease.
But has the doctor any knowledge as
to whether any of these houses which
nc has marked with numerous pin
points rs the homes of tuberculosis
are infected with bedbugs? The ques-
ton is not irrelevant as 1t may appear
The Medical Ne,ps, in 4 recent number.
copied from u German medical Jour
nal the report of the ease of n boy 1S
years old who had developed pnlmo-
nary tuberculosis after having slept
with q brother who had died of the
disease. The third brother, with whom
the second had slept, had likewise died
OF tuberculosis. The patient presented
numerous bedbug bites, and it was
learned that tho bed in which he had
slept contained a large number of the
parasites. Thirty Of these were taken
and used in the incubation of three
guinea pigs, all Of which died of tuber-
c%ulosis. Cultures of tubcrcle bacilli
were also obtained from the diluted
and filtered pulps of these bugs. Gull
lures were also obtained from bugs
taken from healthy surroundings and
brought into contact with tuberculous
sputum. The bugs became infected
directly from human beings, or indi-
rectly through tho medium of the ex-
pectoration, or by transmission from
one animal to another. The trans
mission of tuberculosis from the bugs
to the human being remains an open
question, but the probabilities point
very strongly toward the possibility OF
infection in this matter.
This may be worth looking into. It
may be that it is less bedbugs that
New Haven's tenement house district
wants, not more ventilation or better
drainage. The bedbug is notorious for
the way he get. there, and he may be

THE FEMALE "sIAmEss TWINS.
A Pair Of Pretty Girls Wonderfully and
Fearfully Joined.

In the N. Y. SIN a few DAYS ref.
erence was made to n pair of indian
aSiamese twins" who are about to he
exhibited all over the world, and par-
ticularly at the Chicago fair. These
twins are pretty girls. who have been
taught to play several musical instru.
ments, to sing and even to dance.
Ihey IRE joined together as were tho
Siamese twins, but the junction is of
bone and not of skin and flesh merely,
MS was the case with the Siamese
twins. This junction, too, is four
inches wide, resembling somewhat tho
form of a hump, and this keeps their
chests and little stomachs apart. With
this difference they are as well formed
as any other child, even down to their
nails. VI course, they are forced to
stand facing one another, and their
four little hands either rest on the
point of junction, or are placed on
each others shoulders. They stand
AT ii leaning on n another, and walk
in a peculiar manner. the n advanc-
ing. pushing the other backward, or
both moving sideways. and, as a mat
ter OF course. %loconlotion is very slow.
When they sit down their legs are
doubled under them iu a way sug-
gestive of pain and discomfort. They
eat separately, but both feel hungry
at the same time, and when they lie
down both fall asleep together. They
are also apparently moved by tho same
ideas, the n concluding Il sentence
the other has begun. Radhika and
Dhudhika, for SO they nre called, are
SO much alike in features that it's
hardly possible to distinguish them.
They were borne in a village called
Noapara in tho Angnl district, in
Orissa, and their parents had four
children before the twins were born,
and one since. None of these, how
ever, is in any way defective.
When it became know in the village
that these children were born SO join
ed together, tho villagers declared
that they were IN incarnation of the
devil, and no II would go near them
through fear; they refused to sell the
parents, who were very poor, anything,
nor would anyone give any sort OF
help. Tho Tahsildar, however, in
spite OF what the Brahmins said to
deter him, went to their house and
helped them in timo to save their lives,
and suggested to them that they
might make money by exhibiting the
children. This they did, and at the
time their present manager got hold
of them they were exhibiting the
phenomena in the far interior.

How . Tabby Made Her Five Young Ones
Look Like Hcrseik.
A Bond street. New York, publisher
has q cat that seems to have an abnor-
NAL development Of instinct for uni
formity. She may be distinguished
from all the other cats In the neigh
borhood by her stump tail. Until
about six months ago she had tho usual
allowance of tail. but while lcisurely
crossing the street shc m~iscalculated
the speed at which a track was com
ing toward her and left the larger half
of her tail under o wheel of the vehi-
clio. A few weeks ago this cat had q
litter of kittens, one of which was
black, while oil the rest were tho color
OF the mother. The publisher told a Sun
man that he missed the black n the
second time he uncovered the litter.
Nobody had taken it, and he was com
PEELED to conclude that the mother had
made away with it That did not sur
prise him 40 he had heard OF other
mother cats killing certain Of their off,
spring, presumably because they did
not resemble the rest OF tho family.
hut he was d~umfounded to see what
he had not noticed at first. that all the
kittens had stump tails. and he Won
dered at this strange manifestation OF
maternal influence. He lifted up the
mother cat to get q better view Of the
kittens and found the ends Of five
little tails that she had evidently Bit
ton off.
The publisher would like to know
why Tabby bit off the tails of her pro-
geny. One of his fnnciful friends sug-
gested that she may have absorbed
some OF her peculinr wisdom by Sleep
Ing on a volume of Hsop,
OF which there are q large nun.
Der in the publishing house. IL
she Is. as her owner says, a cat
with a largo bump of self-esteem, she
naturally would not like any of her
kittens to grow up and point the paw
Of ridicule q: her because her tail
wasn't as long as theirs She there
fore set q fashion of her own in tails.
Another friend of the publisher said
that he believed that If Tabby could
talk she would defend her conduct on
tho ground that there was q period in
the life Of every cat when it's tail
would be cut off by q truck wheel. and
bhe decided that she wouldn't give the
truck o chance at her sons and daugh-
ters. The publisher thinks it is rathcr
rough on the kittens, as they can never
realize n Of the chief delights Of kit
tenhood-pursuing the elusive ana
whirling tips of their tails He won
ders II tabby's female kittens, when
they become mothers, will bite oil
their little ones tails off and specu-
lates as to how many generationsit
will take for tabby's descendants to
be born with stump tails.
