one Darlington, a New Milford (Pa) farmer, recently succeeded in capturing suake, or pair of snakes, hitehed to- gether like the Siamese twins. The reptile has two heads and two tails. All the rest of the body is like that of single snake, with the exception of sight depression above and below s&-ending the entire length. The bod eS Join about six inches from the head
 &ch tail is almost a foot long. The ,ength of the joined body is two feet nine inches The twins were discoy- cred last summer by a little son of Darlington, who told his father about them and showed him the track across the road. Darlington ran across it a few days ago when blasting a rock and succeeded in taking it alive. The twin snakes are jet black, with a yell low ring just behind the head. Both mouths take food.

EARNED BY DOCTORS.

The large personal estate, some $1.- S75.000, left by the late Sir William Jenner of London, makes 1t interesting to recall the big fortunes left by other fashionable and successful medicos of recent times in England.
 Dr. Thomas Armitage left over $1.- 100000, but the bulk of this was cer- tainly not professional earnings; Dr Paul of CamberweK amassed over $500,0 but he owned one, if not two, lucratiYs private lunatic asylums.
 The next largest personally to Sir w. Jenner's was that of Sir William Gull. He died in 1890, leaving $1,720,- 11O behind him. This, of course, was the result of professional fees, a large proportion of which for long series of years had been excellently invested.
 Then comes the late Sir Andrew Clark, though there is large falling off in the amount, $1.O34. .465. Sir An drew sank a good round sum in real estate. Another big fortune was Sir Oscar Clayton's, about $735,OO and yet another of quite recent date, Sir Rich ard Quain's, about $585,00
 Sir William Bowman, the oculist, Sir Prescott Hewett, Sir George Paget and Sir Risdon Bennett left substantial for tunes, but all were well under the $500,000 mark. There has been specul- lation as to what incomes some of these successful doctors earned; $15,000 or $20,O0O a year is a big income for a professional man, but at one time Sir William Gull's professional fees most certainly averaged $1, 1000 a week, if not more, while Sir Andrew Clark's talk ings at the zenith of his career must have amounted to an average of over $I,500 for every six working days, There are prizes in the medical pro tession, without doubt.

AT HYMEN'S ALTER.

Wedding rings are supposed to be always the same, but still the fashion of them has altered lately among smart people. The newest brides are wearing plain gold circlets which are about two-thirds narrower than those formerly worn. Jewellers are also showing new ring. When worn it is exactly like any conventional wedding ring. In reality it consists of two separate gold bands, each made in a spiral These fit so closely together as to form a perfect ring without yisi-. ble joint. This marriage ring is sym bolical of the joining of two into one.
 Seventeen years ago a bequest was made to the city of London by benev- olent Italian gentleman of s4.0O0 to form fund to give marriage portion O. S6C each to three poor girls every year. Unfortunately the sum was quite inadequate, and up till now the wishes of the testator have not been carried out. However, the trustees have allowed the money to accumulate and in two years time the capital will be sufficient for three girls to be en- riched according to the desire of the Italian benefactor.
 The much-prized wedding raiment oi certain American brides has been treated to various discouragements One bride lost hers in a fire at New port and another had hers ruined by leakage in the hold of ship en route to Europe. Hence new fashion has arisen of having a special box for pre- serving a relic of the wedding cake, covered with a piece of the same stuff as the wedding garment It may be square, round, or heart-shaped, with an initial or crest on the outside. Some times, besides the bridal cake cut on the table, there is a smaller one. to be retained as souvenir, bearing the names of the bride and bridegroom in silver frosting, with those of the bridesmaids and best man and the ushers. On the round box, In the cen ter of the lid, Water-colored portrait of the bride is introduced. and these boxes fasten with a silver clasp, formed of the united initials of the h. Sppy pair.
 There is also a new fashion in the boxes employed for sending wedding cake to friends-some are white, some ivory and some are pearl and white, bearing either a silver or pearl mono gram or pretty little cupids or hearts on the covers. Occasionally the hand writing of the bride is represented by her Christian name written across the top. Sometimes every box is hand painted and these are intended to be kept as a memento of the event

A Callicoon (Pa) farmer bought a barrel to pack some beef in, and left it in the barnyard, one night recently. Next morning it was gone, to his great veXation, as pork barrels are not plen- tiful in that neighborhood. There was no one in the neighborhood whom the farmer suspected of stealing 1t, and the disappearance was a mystery that he tried to solve for long time in Yain The other day the secret came out Passing along a scrub-oak ridge near brook he saw his missing barrel in a hollow. He went 10 the barrel, and as he laid his hand Oil it there was a great rumbling inside and out popped bear, which gave startled look and shuf- fled away rapidly into the bush. There was no explanation of the presence of the barrel in that spot except on the theory that the bear had stolen it in she night and rolled it all the way to the ridge, where the barrel had lodged. for snug resting place for himself.

In slavery days, Susquehanna and Wayne counties had many stations of the underground railroad" for slaves escaping from the South to Canada. Among the slaves to escape was Tom Harris, who was owned by Col. Harris of Culpepper, Va. As soon as war was declared. Tom returned from Canada to Wayne county, where he has since lived, doing odd jobs on farms. When Tom came to Wayne county he was as black as the lace of spades" but for the last three years white spots have appeared upon his person. and today he Is more than two-thirds white
 Each succeeding white spot is larger and winter than the one preceding, and their coming is accompanied by in- tense pain and itching. Toms hair, once twisted and "kinky," is gradual ly strengthening, and he expresses the belief that, before long. he will be "as white as any man in Wayne county" ]" Toms singular transformation is in- teresting the scientists of the state.-- Susquehanna Cor.
