ing. On one occasion he was at a rural
school, and the usual address was ex'
pected at the close of the exercises.
The children went through number
of calisthenic exercises, which were,
probably, somewhat elaborated in
honor of the distinguished visitor, and
then came the doctors speech. Think.
ing 1t was a favorable occasion to i'm.
press upon his youthful auditors the
Importance of drill and practice, the
doctor. after expressing the pleasure
that the exercises had given him, told
the children that they had done far
better than he could have done, and
then asked;
"Can some one of you tell me why
It Is that l cannot do these calisthenic
exercises as well rs you have done
them7"
After an instant's pause small hand
went up, and, on receiving an encOur-
aging word from the doctor, a little
boy stood up and said:
"'Cause you are old and stiff in the
jnts'-which was not exactly the an.

A GREwsoME CURE.

Diseases have been treated in many
odd ways in the hope Of cure, says the
London Chronicle. One Of the oldest
and most grewsome is alluded to by
the Vicar of Filey in his account Of his
walk to Rome. On the way he came
across a German, who mentioned,
rather mysteriously, the HanoveraD
method of execution by decapitation.
Being further questioned, he said that
at one Of these executions he was in
charge Of an epileptic girl, who was
brought there to drink the warm blood
OF the executed criminal, as it was
considered an infallible cure for fits
This took place in 1857, and the man
had in his possession an illustrated
paper of that time which pictured the
incident.

A CURIOUS PROPHECY.

In the year 1913, IL years hence, the
German Empire is to go TO pieces, ac.
cording to Polish prophet. His rea'
sons for the prophecy are so cogent
that there is no room for doubt, says
the London Express,
Take, he says, the year 1S49, the
date when the Constitution Of the
German Empire" was first framed, aud
add the figures. The result Is %. II
this is added to 1S49 we get 1S71-the
year when the German Empire was
founded.
Now add together the figures of that
year. Result, IL. Tack this on to
1871, and 1888 comes out-the year
when Germany lost her first two EN-.
perors-the Emperors William and
Frederick.
Repeat the addition process, 1--S-l-S-'.s
equals 25; 1SSS-l-25 equals 1913
What does this signify? TO most
people nothing more than 1913. But
the Polish prophet has an answer pat
1913 is the date of Germany's de.
struction. Could anything be cleareri

A GROUP or CURIOUS STORIES
GATHERED FROM MANY SOURCES.
REMARKABnE KANSAS TWINS.


John Sites and Wilbur Sites, twins,
have lived In Wichita for many years.
About a week ago John was taken TO
a local hospital suffering from cancer
Of the stomach. On Wednesday night
Wilbur went from the bedside of bis
brother to his home, At tho moment
when Wilbur left there was no appear
ance Of immediate danger in the con-
dition of John. Yet on entering the
house few minutes later, Wilbur
threw up his hands and calculated,
John is deadw And so it developed.
John had died at the hospital at the
exact moment when the thought came
TO Wilbur.
In 1873 John and Wilbur were mar
ried to Alice and Carrie Worth, in Clay
County, Mo-, and these brides were
twins. Furthermore, an elder brother
of the Sites twins married an elder
sister Of the Worth twins, and the two
families were thus connected in man
ner seldom found.
Both John and Wilbur were well
known and respected citizens of Wich-
ita, and for years 1t has been notice..
by their friends that they thought alike
On every subject. often, as test, they
were questioned separately, and each
gave the same reply, differing, perhaps,
only a little in their forms of express
sion. Their business partner, j. s.
Alexander, has been with them thirty
years. He knew them apart but he
could not tell how he knew Il have"
he said, made the most minute exam
nation Of their faces and forms, Of
their eyes and expressions, Of their
voices and their laughter, Of their hab-
Its and manners, and for the life Of me
can't tell why knew them separate
Iy. We who have known them for a
quarter Of a century have noticed that
they cut their tobacco in exactly the
same form, that they walked exactly
alike, and that they thought precisely
alike"
Once, when John broke limb, Will
jur Immediately suffered corresponding
pains in the same limb. They had
never been known to disagree on any
matter. They lived together in the
same house for thirty years.-Wichita

"NExr" " WAS ALIVE.

At Wellsville, Ohio, the family of
Samuel Colledge, a painter, living on
Commerce street, believing him dead,
began making preparations for the
funeral. John Bissman, q barber, was
sent for to shave the dead man. Bliss
man was shown into a room where
he found the body of man lying upon
bed. When the sheet was removed
Bissman recognized the fetures Of Col
ledge.
Blssman made the lather and applied
It to the face of the silent man. AS
soon as Bissman's wet fingers touched
the face of Colledge he discovered that
the face was warm, Bissman scruti-
niEed the face closely and placed his
hand over the mans heart The heart
Of Samuel Colledge was beating, not
very rapidly, but with enough force to
show that life had not gone.
Bissman notified the people in the
house that Colledge was alive and the
preparations for the funeral were aban-
doned. Shortly afterward Colledge re-
covered consciousness. He had been
seriously i'll for several days.
