Der Of marriages he has performed.
For all that he is known as a marry
ing parson," he has turned away al
most as many as he has united. He
will not marry a couple if he knows
either one has been divorced. He
will not marry a girl who looks to be
mere child, no matter what the legal
license may say. His Meese Matri-
monial association stands pledged for
a uniform divorce law in the United
States.
There are few more picturesque

Portugal is suffering from a plethora
Of money just now. Not gold, Of
course nor silver; but copper. So vast
is the supply of this inferior metal
that ordinary people are exceedingly
chary of changing such few gold coins
as they may come into possession of.
The copper coinage is big and cumber-
some, and it is also deprecated so
that. in order to avoid being burdened
with it, it has become the custom, in
the larger cities at all events, to use
street car tickets as currency. In the
provinces postage stamps are made to
serve a similar purpose Meanwhile
the government at Lisbon goes on Sc
renely minting the obnoxious coins
which nobody will use-at the rate of
some so tons "a month.

SOUP AND STOCKS.
Omens Which Gave Warning to a Heavy
SpeculatOr.

Omens Which Gave Warning to "a Heavy
Speculation.
A New Yorker in London during the
recent time of excitement on the stock
exchange attributes his fortunate is
sue from series OF heavy speculations
to an incident that was connected
with nothing more occult and super
natural than a plate Of soup. He
was at dinner when The recent crisis
was at its height. The soup was vermi-
cell, with the customary letters
floating in it. IN the conversation the
New Yorker was contepding against
the general argument that the existing
high prizes were not likely to decline
but rested on a business basis which
made it certain they would be main
tanned. lie was lifting the spoon to
his lips after a very spirited utterance
on the subject, when he saw that the
four letters in his spoon sp 1t the
word Sell" He is not a super itious
man, but the incident set him think
ing. He swal owed the omen with
out mentioning it. He continued to
chiefly to the condition of the stock
market in this city. When he dipped
his spoon in the soup for the last
mouthful, the New York operator
saw that only six of the flour letters
remained in the plate. but they spelt
the word Unload" This coincidence
was too much even for the doubling
stock broker, who excused himself
from the table and went to the cable
office of the hotel. He sent word to
his broker to close out al his rail-
road holdings. and the difference in
time brought the message here for
the opening Of the market on the
day OF the panic. His broker followed
his directions, and he came out a
heavy winner. 1t is not surprising
that his favorite soup is now vermi-
cell, especially when he is operating
heavily in stocks.-New York Sun.

One Thousand five hundred couples

Last week at his behest many hun
dreds of people who had been joined
by him in matrimony, left their labors
in various parts of the state. and
journeyed to Waterloo to testify their
friendship for and devotion to the
aged parson. Not many other minis
tiers could do what Mr. Meese has done
during the seventy-three years of his
life The father of eleven children,
he has seen the earth close over al

CURIOUS CHINESE TWINS.
They Are Joined as Wero tho Famous
Pair From Siam.


Pair From Siam.
Curious Chinese twins are now be-
ing exhibit in Europe. Like the IA
nous Siamese twins, they are joined
ogether at the lower part of the chest.
These twins are boys and they were
born in China few years ago. They
are of normal intelligence, and each
weighs Twenty-Five pounds. Four years
ago they had smallpox, the infection
passing in twentyfOur hours from one
to the other. One day whisky was
given to one of them and yet 1t was
the other who first began to show signs
of intoxicatiOn. They go to sleep about
the same time. but it is possible to
awaken one without arOusing the 9TH
er. They can walk and run with ease,
and when they lie down they very
quickly find comfortable position. M.
Chapot-PrOvOst, a scientist, who has
given much attention to mcnstrosities
Of this kind and who successfully per-
formed an operation some time ago on
two girls who were similarly Joined,
recently examined these twins and con-
cluded that the ligiment uniting them
could be severed without much, IL any,
risk. He therefore suggested that this
be done, but those in charge Of the
twins said that this was impossible. as
it was the will of the Chinese god,
Khango, that the boys should be born
thus, and his will must be respected
