TOOK HIS BROTHERS PLACE.
But He Found That BEING a Twin
Isn't What 1t Is Popularity
Supposed to BE.

This being a twin isn't what it is
popularity supposed to be-" said the
young man who looks so much like his
brother that even their intimate
friends are unable to tell them apart,
relates the Detroit Free Press. "Of
course, we get good deal of amuse-
ment out of the mistakes that are
made concerning our identity, but
things shaped themselves the other
day in a way that showed me that
there was another side to the situa-
ton. 1 never supposed for an instant
that that miserable brother of mine
would take advantage of me in the
way he did, and that was the reason
l was so easily taken in. But 1 got
even with him, as you shall hear.
MY brother has a certain young
lady living in another part of the city
to whom he has been paying a good
deal of attention. He had promised
to call upon her the other evening,
and, finding himself unable to keep
the appointment, he prevailed upon
me to take his place, which was not
very difficult matter, as the young
lady in question is very nice, and L
rather looked forward with pleasure
to spending an evening in her COM
pany. My brother gave me minute in
structions regarding what 1 should
say and how to act. Said he:
"'Now, she will probably meet you
at the door. If she does you put your
arm around her and kiss her. Only
once, mind YOU he cautioned, glaring
at me. She won't stand for any more,
and am not going to have you tres

swell, l started off in high spirits
and with the thought that if my twin
had an idea that 1 was going to stop
at one he simply had another guess
coming. The girl met me at the door
and | carried out my instructions to
the letter. I have only dim and hazy
idea what happened after that. All
L know is that my hair hasn't ceased
curling yet. When l came to- l was
six blocks away, and policeman with
the best intention in the world adj
vised me to go home and sober up.
When | got so I could think calmly
and dispassionately grasped the sit
uation. That miserable brother of
mine had never kissed the girl in his
life. He was in doubt how she would
take it and put me forward to find out.
But | got even with him. This morn
ing he asked me rather anXiously how
l had gotten along, and l only
smacked my lips and announced my
perfect willingness to take his place
at any time he might desire.
"'No, you don't" he shouted. I'll
attend to that matter myself here
after!'
Hes going down there tonight.
Say, I'd give all my old socks to be
there when the fireworks take place"

Celery Cheese.

Melt half an ounce of butter in a
small saucepan and add half an ounce
of flour, then pour in by degrees half
a pint of milk and stir quickly until the
sauce is perfectly smooth and thick.
Season it with cayenne, salt and lit
tie grated nutmeg, and add two ounces
of grated cheese. Have ready rather
more than half a breakfast cup of
cooked celery, cut into small pieces;
stir it into the cheese sauce, and fill
some little bread cases with it which
have been quickly fried in boiling fat;
scatter some grated Parmesan over the
top of the celery and place the cases in
a quick oven for few moments.-N. Y.

A Tiffin, CO., man says he is a human
barometer, and that he can tell what
kind of weather is coming "a hours
in advance. John w. Barrack, an old
citizen and at one time treasurer of
Seneca county, is the man. He has
very heavy black eyebrows, and says
that the direction in which the ends
of his eyebrows point is an accurate
guide to the coming weather. If the
weather is to be cold the ends point
upward; if warm, upward. Mr.. Bar
rack says he has followed this eye

L not have dared to raise his low
born eyes even so high as Toy Duk's
little crippled feet, but in this coun-
try, where everything is possible, he
promptly fell in love with her on the
approved American plan. He haunted
the street in which she lived, and
watched her latticed balcony with his
eyes turned up at the corners in a
very western way, for he was the
unhappy resultant of the two oppo-
site forces, Chinese birth and Ameri-
can training.
And Toy, also imbued with the spir-
it of American independence, had so
far declared her emancipation from
oriental custom as to return his
chances from behind her shutters. To
be sure, the Stats were scarcely
turned, and she peeped through her
sleeve, but to her it was a mad fir
tation, and she trembled at her au-
dacity. The doughty Chew Bang, her
father, not only kept his balcony lat
ticed more securely than those of his
.ighbors, but the lattice-work was
iron bars, which made the little
llcony strikingly like a prison.
And now, after 1865 long, monoto-
GUS, colorless days, another Dragon
ay had rolled around-the only day
In all the stupid year worth living,
as poor little Toy thought. The &C.
date little town was, on this occa-
sion, overrun with an invading horde
of chattering, jabbering coolies, for
there was scarcely an able-bodied Chi
naman for 20 miles around who was
not looking at the great dragon pa
rade.
On this eventful day the Chinese
women are driven up and down the
long streets. Toy Dul1 sat rigidly
upright in a carriage as she endeav-
ored to balance two-story head
dress of fearful and wonderful con-
struction, while the layers of rice
powder on her cheeks fell into cracks
as she babbled and laughed in her
enjoyment of this unusual excite
ment. She was beautiful little vel
low lady, whose slippers were scarce
ly larger than an oyster shell, and,
alas! almost as shapeless, who hob
bled about gracefully with the help
of an attendant, or s2uatted on a
mat, marvel of elegance and dig
nifty. And, as she sat in her gayly
bedizened carriage, her little almond
eyes dancing with merriment, many
foreign eyes were turned admiringly
in her direction. But from the mo-
ment of the first excited shout, an
nouncing the appearance of the pro-
cession, till, after much coaXing on
the part of the soldiers, the glitter
ing dragon was finally induced to go
under the low doorway that led to
oblivion till the next parade, Toy
was conscious of nothing but the
wonder and splendor that filed her
eyes on all sides.
At last, however, it was all over,
and Toy Duk's holiday was drawing
to close, too, for she was kept al
most as securely packed away as the
dragon. From her latticed balcony
she had often watched the American
girls walking about freely at all hours
of the day, independent and happy,

LADY ON EDITORIAL
STAFF OF LEADING
RELIGIOUS WEEKLY
Sends the Following Grand Testimonial to
the Merits Of Cutcura Remedies in the
Treatment of Humours of the
Blood, Skin and Scalp.

81 wish to give my testimony to
the efficiency of the Cuticura Rene
dies in what seems to me two some
what remarkable cases. l had a
number of skin tumours - small
ones-on my arms which had never
given me serious trouble but about
two years ago one came on my
throat. At first it was only abou. as
large as pinhead, but, as it was in
a position where my collar, if not
just right, would irritate it, it soon
became very sensitive and began to
grow rapidly. Last spring it was
as large, if not larger, than a bean.
A little unusual irritation of my
collar started it to swelling, ard in
a day or two it was as large as
half an orange. l was very much
alarmed, and was at a loss to de-
termine whether it was carbuncle
or a malignant tumor.

tended down into my chest was all
gone, and my neck now seems to be
perfectly well.
" About five or six years ago my
sister had similar experience. She
had two large Jumps come under
her right arm, the result of sprain.
They grew rapidly, and our physi-
clan wanted to cut them out. 1
would not listen to it, and she tried
the Cuticura Remedies las 1 did a
few months ago. with magical effect.
In six weeks time the Jumps had
entirely disappeared,an have never
returned.
81 have great faith in the Cuticura
Remedies, and believe they might
be as efficacious in similar cases
with other people, and thus save
much suffering, and perhaps life. 1
have derived SO much benefit from
the use of them myself that l am
