TWIN CHICKENS.
The Strange Pair Are Very ExcIu-
sive and Associate Only with
Each other.

A rather unusual sight was Witnessed
recently during a visit to a poultry
farm near the Heart of the Common
wealth." says the Boston Transcript.
Two chickens from the same egg are
here and they have already lived five
weeks. The owner had received an offer
of $2J for the pair, but preferred to
keep the chickens. His attention was
called to them first when he saw two
bills trying to break out through the
shell. The egg containing the twins
was carried into the house, the sheH
was carefully removed and the two in
FAINT chickens were given their first
sight of the world. They were wrapped
up in cotton batting and were placed
in the oven of the kitchen stove and
kept there for some time.
For the first three weeks they were
not allowed to 60 out of doors and were
fed on matted milk and brandy served
to them from medicine dropper. The
little fellows are now strong and able
to look after themselves and run about
in large yard with hundred or more
of their relatives.
One popularity about these chickens,
which, by the way, are of the variety
known as buff brahmas, is their ex-
IRENE exclusiveness. They have moth
ing whatever to do with the others and
are constantly together. Where one is
seen the other is sure to be within a
foot or two of it, If one of them is
picked up or separated from the other,
both start in calling for each other and
keep this up until the one which has
been taken up is placed on the ground
Then the Immediately Join forces and
start off on a foraging trip.

BosTON'S MUNICIPAL MUSIC.
The Hub Is the First American City
to Try the Experiment.
Free Concerts.

Indoor concerts, though carried on
by May European cities have proba-
bly, never before been undertaken bJ
any American municipality. Two
semes of six each, however, were actual
" given in Music hall during the last
fall and winter, under the charge of the
new music commission Having been
successful in organizing a municipal
band of 81 pieces for summer music in
tie parks, the commission proceeded
in the fall to organize municipal or
chestra of 35 pieces for winter concerts,
The programmes were rendered on
Sunday evenings, usually to full houses,
made up chiefly of wage-earners, and
were of high order, says the Review of
Reviews.
The admission ranged from 10 to 25
cents, and practically met the expenses.
1t is intended next fall to open another
series of these concerts. Chamber con-
certs, rendered by a string quartet
with the assistance of a soloist, and
costing from $50 to $50, are also given
by the commission on week day even
ings in the more remote districts of the
city These are free, the cost being
borne by private donation No money
has been appropriated by the city for
any of the winter music, but il is quiz,
reasonable to expect that when its
standing and the demand for it have
been more clearly defined il may be put
upon a permanent basis of public cost
4 pipe organ, however, has been re-
Gently purchased by the city, to be used
under the direction of the commission
for regular recitals by a municipal or.
ganst. and other popular projects are
in mind.

GERMAN GIRLS EDUCATION.
As Soon as She Is Confirmed She Be-
gins Preparation for Her
Marriage.

An important part in a girls educa-
ton in Germany is her instruction i'll
domestic science, writes Charlotte Bird
in the July Ladies' Home journal. She
is taught how to knit and darn stock
ings, and how TO repair towels and bed
and table linen skillfully. She crochets
lace and other things, and makes all
kinds of cross-stitch work. Most Ger
man girls Of the upper classes have
some musical education. As a rule,
they play better on the piano than they
sing. After the girl has finished her
school course she goes to boarding
house of the better class to learn how to
cook and keep house, and to acquire the
ways of refined society outside of her
own hSme. Here she remains for sew
eral months and watches the process of
the cooking and other work, often lend
ing hand herself. 1t will be seen that
her education presupposes that she
will marry some time in her life, and it
is in measure a preparation for that
event. Consequently, when she has
been confirmed she begins to prepare
her rousseau. She crochets lace, makes
table covers, works long tides in cross
stitch, and by degrees collects large
linen. Everything that is available is
put away in the chest holding her treas
ures.

FROM THRILLING CAUSES.
Perry Quarre1s Have Brought On
Long and Bloody Conflicts
In the Past.

Many wars have had trifiing causes,
SAYS Leslie's Weekly A dispatch al
tered in one or two points by Bismarck
brought on the FrancoGerman conflict.
nalmerston said facetiously that only
three men in Europe ever knew what
the Schleswig- Holstein troubles which
led to the wars were about, and two
of them died before the conflicts began,
while he, the third man, had forgotten.
A sighting reference by Frederick the
Great of Prussia TO Mime. Pompadour of
France was said to have been one of the
causes of the Seven Years war, some
times called the war of the three pet
ticoats" from the fact that the France
of Pompadour and the Russia of Cath
crime III. joined the Austria of Maria
Theresa against Frederick.
According to John Bright, England
and her allies drifted into the Crimean
war without realizing it until after they
got in, and they did not know what they
were fighting for even after they start
ed; while it is certain that everything
which is supposed to have been fix
by that results of a quarter of century
of war beginning with the commence
ment of the French revolution and end
ing with Waterloo pleased nobody and
settled nothing" according to Sheri
dan. The average person who lived in
those days knew as little about the
causes of the slaughter as old Kaspar
did about the battle of Blenheim when
questioned by little Peterkin

SAMOAN LIFE.
when Not at War They Have Very
Easy and Agreeable
Time.

When native Samoans are not at war
easy and agreeable life. There is never
very much to do, and what there is is
not arduous or firing. The old women,
for instance, braid mats or sit upon
the rocks and beat and strip the bark
for making tqpa, the native cloth. The
men spend much of their time in max
ing fishing aets and tackle.
In spite of the simplicity of the ma
tional attire, the Samoans are rather
vain, and spend a good deal of time in
identifying themselves. The hair is
often plastered with white lime, giving
it, when dry, the effect of white wig.
The lime is washed off by night. The
result is a gradual change in the color
of the hair from a red to "a bright yell
low. Apart from this strange fancy,
the Samoans quite share the Euro
peans' ideas in regard to beauty. They
particularly admire tall persons.
A fad of the young man of Samoa is
tattooed upon the forearm AS the
Samoan wears no sleeves this ornament
is always visible, and he is very proud
Of it, which is easily understood, as the
young lady herself always does the
tattooing, it being impossible to in
trust TO professional workman a task
so full of sentiment

The Indian Medical Record does not
believe in the acclimatization of the
white race in the tropics. 1t holds that
the lowered death rate in hot countries
rather that it shows it is only after
elaborate precautions have been learned

inability of the white race to COLOMBO

MODERN RUSSIA.
The Land StilI Feels the Autocratic
Influence of Peter the
Great.

All nations feel more or less the
original impetus given them by one
great man, but probably none so much
as modern Russia. 1t may almost be
said to have been the creation of one
man, Peter the Great, and the features
he impressed upon the Russian state
are still distinctly visible. a mass OF
barbarism was transformed by him into
n powerful and active member of the
family of civilized nations. He gave
to his subjects an army, a navy and
an educational system. Commerce
with foreign countries, previously for
hidden, he warmly encouraged. The
autocrat transferred his capital TO the
shores of the Baltic, and built the great
city which bears his name to be the
open door to the civilization of the
western world. He introduced the arts.
the literature. the sciences and the
economic theories OF the most advanced
nations. Russia at the present day
is actuated by the ideas of the great
ear. In its restless ambition, it's sub
tie and unscrupGlous policy, its var
nish of culture. scarcely hiding the
ferocity Of the barbarian. its intoler-
ance of popular liberty and its real
solicitude for the material welfare of
the people. the Russia of to-day is the
Russia Of Peter the Great.

CARIBOU CEMETERIES.
Places Where the Animals Go to
Shed Their Horns and Final
~ to Die.

ARGENT number of Forest and Stream
contains the following contribution
from a Quebec correspondent concern
ing the habit moose and caribou have
of going to the same place, season after
season, to shed their antlers:
THE idea of the animals seeking a
definite place for this purpose was quite
new to me, but lately the efficient SUI
perintendent of game and fisheries at
Quebec, l.. Il. Joncas, Esq, has told me
that they do frequent such places, and
that this habit was quite well known
to him. He knew of many and men
toned several places where horns could
almost certainly be found at any time
And not only do they go to shed their
horns, but they go there TO die. These
places are known as cemeteries, and
whole skeletons are occasionally found.
This, however, would be rare, as the
bones would usually be torn apart and
scattered by bears and other carnivorae.
"Mr, Joncas instaneed the case of a
gentleman going to certain region for
geological exploration, who asked for
a permit to shoot moose out of season
in order to get good pair OF antlers.
He was told that by diyerging a little
from his route he might reach place
where he could find plenty of them.
lie did so and secured five excellent
Snecimtns"

Build Our own Warships.

The Nautica! Gazette states that it
was always a matter for surprise that
the Brazilian government, for whom
the New Orleans and Albany were built,
should have been so anxious to get rid
of these seemingly perfect vessels The
mystery now is explained, and the fact
that the metacentric height was mega
tive quantity was probably known by
the builders and former owners and
carefully concealed from us. They can
not be cut in two and heightened, as
they are even now too narrow for their
length. The moral of the story is that
we must build our own war vessels.

BATTING THE BEAR.
1t Was the Fayorite sport of English
GentIewomen In Days
of Old.

So popular was bull batting in olden
days in England that riots followedt the
attempt to suppress it in the large
towns. Bear batting was more popular
still, if that could be. In various
places, Liverpool especially, it made
part of the festivities at the election of
the mayor, being held before his wor-
ship started for church. Ladies COM
monty attended in great numbers.
There was a famous bear at Liverpool.
which showed such grand sport in 1882
that certain fair admirers presented it
with a garland, decked il with ribbons,
and carried it TO the theater, where a
special entertainment had been com
manded," which Bruin sat out in the
front of their box. But of gossip about
bull and bear batting thereis no end.
Enthusiastic lovers of Shakespeare read
with interest the petition of the royal
bear warden, addressed to Queen Eliz-
abeth in 1895, complaining that his Ii
censed performances had been neglect
ed of late because every one went TO the
theater.
