The Original Siamese Twins,

The sleepy village Of Biddcnden. not
far from Tenterden. celebrates yearly
the memory of the two maids of that
ancient hamlet who were the original
precursors of the Siamese twins. In life
they were joined together by mysteri-
GUS cord of flesh, and they died on the
same day, leaving their property to be
distributed among the poor of the par
ish and among all who care to apply
for a dole of bread and cheese on Easter
day. This benefaction has been in exist
ence for six or seven centuries, and at
present it's value is about 5000 year.
Formerly the dOles consisted Of bread
and cheese and ale but the latter pro-
duced so much hilarity in the village
that it was abolished, and the charity is
now limited to the two first mentioned
nutritive articles. The bread is made
up in the form Of cakes bearing n rude
representation of the twin maids of
Biddenden, and are generally preserved
as curiosities by the recipients. They
are baked very hard and arc admirably
adapted to give work to dentists by
breaking the molars Of those who at
tempt to penetrate their mysteries The
poor OF the parish as distinguished from
necessitous strangers are supplied with
ordinary Cuartern leaves and cheese. -

Questioning Is Not Conversation.

The man who imagines that the art
of conversation consists in asking Ques-
tionS SpoilS conversation as much as the
man who never asks any. People of this
description will interrupt a speaker as
frequently as they do in the French
chamber, and run anxiously from sub
ject to subject with their interrogatorics,
like cackling hen that is going to lay
an egg. Horace Walpole, when exiled
at HoughtOn, bemoans the existence of
such pest in the person of an aunt.
Writing to his friend Sir Horace Mann,
he says: 81 have an aunt here, family
piece of goods, an old remnant of in
quisitive hospitality and economy. She
wore me SO down by day and night
with interrogations that dreamed all
night she was at my ear with a who's,
why's when's and what's, till at last
in my very sleep l cried out, For
heavens sake, madam, ask me no more
questions.
DR.. Johnson's dislike of being cues
toned is well known, and he gives tho
classic refutation Of the habit in his
own inimitable style: Sir, questioning
is not the mode Of conversation among
gentlemen. 1t is assuming superiority.
and it is particularly wrong to question
man concerning himself. Cham

The Magazine Of the Maine Found to
be Undisturbed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Advices from
Key West state that semi-ofticial in
formation has been received that the
magazine of the Maine, which was
supposed to have blown up, is intact,
and that it is conclusive that the ex-
plosion was due to outside influences.
It is said that the bottom of the vessel
is little more than ribbons of steel, but
enough remains to prove whether the
cause of the explosion came from with
out or within. The court of inquiry
has begun its session at Havana. More
divers have been set at work. 1t is
said the harbor at Havana is and has
been for long time filed with sub
marine mines and torpedoes, and no
surprise will be felt if it develops that
one of these was the cause of the
disaster.
