KINSMEN IN THE SENATE,
White, of California, and Mallory, OF
Florida, First Couains

White, of California, and Mallory, OF
Florida, First Cousins.
If one man of a family gets to be SEN
ntor he ought to be accounted fortunate.
When two men of family find seats
in the senate together it is a remarkable
event, and deserves recording, says the
Washington Post.
Stephen Mallory White is a senator
from California and Stephen Russell
Mallory is a senator from Florida.
There is more than a. mere coincidence
in the similarity of the names. The
men are cousins. Senator Mallory's
father and Senator Whites mother
were brother and sister. It is little
curious that the two senator's should
represent states as far apart as it is pos
slble for them to be-one on the Allan
tic and the other on the Pacific coast.
The grandfather OF the two senators
was one of the earliest settlers of Flor
ida, while their grandmother was a
Spanish woman of fine stock, consider
able beauty and remarkable constitu-
ton, retaining to her old age all of her
faculties. Much of Senator Whites
sturdlness comes from his grand
mother. He was not born in Florida,
for his father and mother crossed the
plains in 1850, attracted to California
by the reports of newly-discovered gold.
The senator was born in San Francisco
in 1853. The Mallorys, on the other
hand, remained in Florida, and now the
whirligig of time and the strange hap
penings of politics reunite the families
in the senate.

HIS DEFoRMITY A BLESSING.
Owns Ten Fingers and Uses Extra
Ones at Silk Loom.

owns Ten Fingers and Uses Extra
Ones at SILK Loom.
Charles w. Haines, of 400 Abigail
street, who is "a years old, has five
fingers on each of his hands, but no
thumbs, says the Cincinnati CONNER
cial Tribune. In the place of his thumbs
are perfectly-formed fingers similar in
appearance to the index finger, only a
little longer. The remarkability of his
case is that nature so arranged it
that the first phalanx, unlike other
fingers, has a ball joint articulating
with the first metacarpal in way that
enables him to turn the finger about
in any direction, even upon the back of
his hand.
Haines is silk bandage weaver, and
by the aid of his thumb fingers he can
reach into the loom and catch up
broken threads and tie them with one
hand, not being compelled to use a
hook line like other workmen. He says
that on account of his hands being so
constructed he can save time and do
more work in day than anyone at his
shop. Like Miss Sayers, Haines is mu-
sician. He is good performer on a
either, and when not employed at his
work he spends great deal of time
playing upon this difficult instrument.
He can pick the strings more nimbly
with what serves him as q. thumb than
with his other fingers, and he verify be-
lieves that nature furnished him with
deformity that has proven physio-
logical benefit.

They were two daint lily dressed, chic
girls, and they were evidently out for
. giddy afternoon, says the New York
Telegram. They strolled down Broad
way into Herald square with the gay
est of smiles on their faces and the
sauciest of looks in their dancing eyes.
They stopped at a drug store in'which
a mammoth frosty soda fountain
stands in all its glittering temptation,
and soon became engrossed in two de-
lcious, creamy, frothy mixtures.
They chatted as they drank and slow
1y ate the ice cream with the long-dis-
lance spoons with which each alluring
glass is provided.
AT last the ice cream Soda was
finished, and the girls went laughing
out into the street, when suddenly a
look of CONSERVATION overspread the
face of one of them, and she exclaimed:
''Oh, Kitty!"
Then she rushed back into the drug
store, apd, laying hold of the edge of the
counter, began to pull it.
The. other followed in amazement.
The soda water manipulation and the
drug clerks regarded the Juggling young
woman with establishment, then fear.
Still she pulled at the counter till it ap-
peared to be in imminent danger OF
coming loose.
AT length, when the proprietor was
thinking seriously of calling in a po-
iceman, something gave way and the
young woman fell back with an excla-
nation of relief and popped something
int6h her mouth.

and toes of $500 criminals, and finds a
deficiency in the size or number of toes
quite frequently among them, although
very rare among ordinary men. He has
also observed that prehensile toes,
marked by wide space between the
great toe and the second toe, IS a con-
dition quite common among criminals;
also, a webbed condition OF the toes,
an approximation to the toeless feet of
some savages. .s5s :,
