They Think Alike,

Title and Lizzie Warner Of Philadelphia
are wonderful twins. They have never been
separated ~ hours in the nineteen years 81
their existence. Thoroughly well authenti-
Gated circumstances prove that a mysterious
bond exists between the sisters. s
fTiliie has a tooth pulled. Lizzie has
toothache. Recently it was necessary for
Tillie to undergo a surgical operation. Lizzie
suffered pain although she was a mile away
from the scene, and did not know Title was
under a surgeons care.
While the street car strike was on Lizzie
dropped her work and said, 81 must 60 to
Tili!i' She ran out and found her sister
crouched in a doorway, in front OF which
mob was holding up a nonunion crew on
trolly car. Either sister can find the Other
in a crowd of any size without hunting. The
resemblance between the girls is remark
able.
Their recollection Of past events are pre-
cisely the same. Neither one can recall
single occurrence that did not happen i'll ths
presence of both. 1t takes the minds o.
both to retain a lasting re objection Of any
happening, but when the fact is once i'm
pressed upon their minds neither forgets It's
least important feature.

Want the Tools Unused.

Not many people are acquainted With
the fact that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company and the Pennsylvania company
together are the of a vast tool
equipment which is entirely useless so far
as its owners are concerned, and what is
stranger still is the fact that they never
desire to see the tools in use and are hop
ing they will remain unused forever. The
equipment consists Of $500 saws, 1880
sledge hammers, $500 axes, all new and in
first class condition. While what has been
said above concerning this apparently USE
less equipment may sound rather strange.
it can best be explained by the simple
statement that the tools are for emergency
purposes only, and are kept for the use of
trainmen or passengers who may be called
upon to act in the capacity of rescurers In
case Of a catastrophe. This is why the
companies don't want the tools to be used,
and it explains the necessity of having 50
much useless tool equipment, When the
manufacturers of cars are making contracts
with any railroad company they are sup
posed TO figure the cost OF such equipment
In with the cost Of manufacturing the
cars.

well as most of the second class lines of

these buckets that saved the LITE OF the

cost OF the case the outfit for q single

are about $500 coaches on the entire sys-
tenn II can easily be calculated that the
total expense amounts to more than ST.

A New Dish to Him.

Corn,calls to mind the duke of Marl-
borough's first experience with green
corn on the cob. The incident was re.
lated by a gentleman who happened to
travel in the same train with the duke
the day he arrived in New York. It
was the Newport train. Presently the
duke went into the dining car to get
a bit of luncheon. It happened to be
in the green corn season, and he no.
ticed that nearly everybody in the car
was eating the corr from the cob. He
had never seen anything like it before.
He asked the waiter what it was, or.
dered a portion, and, receiving it. bit
into it as he would bite into an apple.
He had attempted to bite into the cob
and had evidently received a shock
too great a shock to try the experiment
again; for, upon being told that he
must spread butter, salt and pepper on
the corn and bite gently, he perversely
took his fork and patiently picked the
kernels, one by one, from the cob.

A HAS A RIVAL.
II the Name Of This New I'm
verBal Language.

EepeIont0 10 the Name of This New Uni.
versal Language.
Esperanto is not the name of a Jew
liquor or of a new appetizer, nor that
of q comic song, but it is the name Of
an artificial language, which is fast
gaining adherents in France, and that
is already able to boast of many fol-
in Europe, the United States,
and ever in some parts Of Africa.
Among those most proficient in the
language is q Frenchman, bearing the
aristocratic name of D'Eyssautier. He
says that Esperanto is by no means q
new language, nor even a recent dis
covery. This international language
has been in existence nearly ten years,
and there are at least 10000 adherents
in different parts Of the world.
The author or originator of Esperan-
to is q Russian gentleman, DR.. Zamen-
hof, Of Warsaw. He says that one may
learn it's grammar in an hour, and all
it's vocabulary Of words in q few days.
The official organ Of the language,
the Esrerantisto, is utterly opposed to
the Volapuk organ, for it has literary
tendencies.
The fact is, Esperanto hopes to de-
throne volapuk altogether. Verses
may be written in it, and translations
Of the Iliad and Hamlet have been pub
lished.
Like all artificial universal lam
guages, the roots Of Esperanto are de-
rived from the best known Of modern
tongucs-English, French and German
these offering the least difficulty to
students.
