Thanksgiving Charity.

Thanksgiving Day is approaching
and people are thinking of the good
cheer it will he marked by in spite Of
times not of the hest, hut the poor 50
constantly with us should he upper
most in the thoughts of all troubled
with a surplus. If everybody makes a
little effort to cheer up somebody else,
this would be very cheerful and
thankful community when the day
comes around. There are several kinds
of charity and liberality with money
is by no means the hest form, often
doing more harm than good, but a
little effort to help other men along
without letting them know of it any
more than you can, is true charity.
There is plenty of bitter poverty right
here i'm the community, and If every
citizen will do what he can to give
work to men and women, no matter
how trifling it may he, it will perhaps
help some cherries hou ehold to bright
en- up little for Thanksgiving. There
is time to think of these things, and ''to
think is TO act," may have some force.

A TwO-headed Child.

In little musty room of dirty,
shaky tenement down on Shakespeare
street, near Broadway, Baltimore, has
been born child with two heads, we'll
proportioned and perfectly developed
heads, with faces as bright aud features
as clearly defined aud as intelligent as
the average baby's. Moreover.the child
had four arms and four legs.
There were as well two bodies. but
they were from the chest down firmly
attached. The parents Of this remarka-
bile creature are Andy and Mary
Krakopf. They are poor Polish people
and live in couple of rooms in a
tencment-house with several other fam
lilies.
The birth of the child occurred on
Wednesday evening and the duplex
child was dead. No one was more sur
prised at the curiosity than the physi-
clan himself. He took charge Of tire
remains, and they will I've given to the
John Hopkins Medical School for
anatomical examination. Both sides of
the child appear to he provided with
all the usual members of the human
body. The heads, shoulders and arms
had the appearance Of those Of infants
of perfect health.
The legs were. however. deformed.
Two OF the legs grew as legs usually
do the others grew up from the trunk
parallel To the body. and the feet were
on level with the chi,ls ot the freak.
Both bodies were male.
There was fear that il the supersti-
tious neighbors Of the parents heard of
the @rurancc they would make il
unpleasant for the couple to remain in
the locality, and little was said of ii To
the Poles who lived around the place.

Then turn the plug so the cider can

A TERRIBLE STORM.
Three Hundred Lives and Nearly
One Hundred Vessels Lost.

A gale in the English Channel has
played great havoc All the boats run
ming between Calais and Dover are
stormbound at these two ports. Disasters
and fatalities are reported on all sides,
and distressed vessels are to he seen off
every part of the coast. The lifeboats
have been working gallantly for nearly
three days, and have saved many lives.
Estimates made indicate that fully
three hundred lives have been lost. A
complete record Of the loss Of life will
be impossible for several days, owing
to the fact that telegraph communica-
ton with a number of points where
wrecks have occurred is still interrupt
ed. At least forty steamers and barks
are known to have been wrecked, not
counting the loss of fishing boats and
small schoners. which will bring the
total to nearly one hundred.

Four years ago when there was only a

his majority over both his competitors
