When he didn't get. him he looked

Salt as a Wood preseryer.

To the Editor Of The News and
Courier F.: I read with much interest
DIR. w. d. WOoas' article Of the l4tb,
On wood p~reservatives. What he says
about hot linseed oil is, Of course,
true, 5a: you'd be expensive; salt
would be far better and very inexpen.

in making salt ticks for cattle, in the
forests, carly in the eighties. 1 sim
ply cut down small trees, gum or short
leaf pine; made small holes about
three feet apart, deep enough to hold
one-half pint Of salt; I used these salt
licks In winter only and in some in
stances only e few times, and yet the
salt has preserved them until to-day.
The stumps from which the poles
were cut and the tops of the trees not
used, have disappeared long ego, while
the bleaohed logs treated with salt are
perfectly sound. have never tried
this on q large scale on posts in the
ground, but know it would have the
same effect.
In 1891 the Winters Brothers, Of
Society Hill, had the contract to put
up signboards for roads in our part Of
the community. They had completed
the work except tho one at Riverdale,
which [ volunteered to place for them
as l wanted to try the salt. I used
only an ordinary white cypress pole,
about ten inches in diameter at the
stump end, with not more than three
or four inches Of heart /; after the pole
was placed in the ground I bored q
hole, Q3-inch augur,) beginning about
three inches above the surface and
going down three or four inches below
the surfaoe to the centre Of the post,
so as to go through all Of the ooncen-
trio rings. This hole I filled with
salt and put q plug in it. 1t has

Stranger Than the slamese Twins.

MOrristown, N. j., april g.
Stranger by far than the celebrated
csso Of the Siamese twins wa q dual
life that ended yesterday in Green
Bower Lodge, near Hibernia, this
State.
twas that Of q boy and girl who, ct
birth twelve years ego, were connect
ed by @ small piece Of tissue near the
base of The brain. Although this
was severed when they were but a few
moments old, their lives and actions
and impulses were the same, even
when milcs separated them, and they
were away from one another when
both fell i'll and died at the same mo.
ment.
George anu Margaret Clark were the
names Of these unique children end
their pareuts are MI. and Mrs. Frank
Clark.
After the early operation no thought
was given to the unusual condition OF
the children's birth, but as they grew
it was observed that their actions
were similar at all times and in all
circumstances.
Even as babies, If one was peevish
and fretful, so was the other. IF one
slept the other slept. They learned
to walk at the same time and they ut.
tered their first words at the same
momehs.
Although one was a boy and the
other o girl, their resemblance was 50
marked that. only the difference in
their clothing enab,sd sven the pa
rents to distinguish them.
AS they grew they became insepara-

other. They went through school
together snd if George could not think
Of the answer to a question neither
could Margaret. If one knew, both
knew.
Astonishing instances are told Of
this telepathio sympathy between
them.
When they were 8 years old the
girl vent to visit her aunt in Dover
and whilo she was gone the boy told
his parents everything she did during
her absence, and it proved true. Mar
garet had the anne gift and when her
brother was ont at play she was in
variably able to find him as by intui-
ton. o, 81
The circumstances Of .heis death
was as remarkable as ell that b ad gone
before. The little girl went three
weeks ago to the home Of another
aunt, Mrs. Janet. Henry, at Green
Pond. George remained at home.
One day Margaret was seized with the
grip. AZ the same moment the boy
became sick.
The girl could not be brought back
home, and in spite OF every oare she
died yesterday afternoon. At the
same hour the boy died here. Both
will be buried in n grave.

Millionaires and Large Families.

A good deal has been said of late in
regard to the alleged opposition Of
wealthy people to large families. It
seems to be tacity admitted-at least
among those who have not studied the
subject-that people Of large incomes
aud high social position have few
children, and are indeed opposed to
them on principle.
While the matter is engaging public
attention it seems pertinent to ex-
anime q few facts in regard to the
number of childreni in the more promi-
nent millionaire households.
The l..s GoFleiius Vanderbilt had
seven children,'6v Of whom grew to
maturity. The present Cornelius
Vanderbilt has two children, and Al
fred Gwynne Vanderbilt, who has
been married two years, has q SON.
Mr.. and Mrs, William Z. Vanderbilt
had three children, and there are four
in the second generation, Mrs. Eliot
f. Shepard, Mrs. William D. Sloane,
Mrs. 81. McK. Twombly and Mrs.
Seward Webb-daughters Of the late
William ii. Vanderbilt-have all been
the mothers Of several children.
J. Pierpont Morgan, the great, has
a aon and three daughters. besides
several grandchildren, Colonel John
Astor has o con and daughter.
Mrs. Edward Potter has eleven
children.
John D. Rockefeller, che oil king,
and his brother, William Rockefeller,
have each four children and one grand
child.
AS Q rule, these millionaire familiea
are not strikingly prolific. But shey
are not childless. There is scarcely q
childless household among them.
Within the circle Of the very promi-
nent there is not a single couple
which has not been blessed with one
or more children. This sounds rather
strange but tits true.
The fact is that the very wealthy
are decidedly more prolific than the
middle olass"-thes.dwsliers in fats
and apartments where there ia barely
room for two aud none ct all for Ave
or six. What is more, these million
aire families turn out remarkably
s..ess and healthy people, who spend
much time out Of doors aud arc far
removed from the s'gilded degenera-
tes" which are commonly thought OF
as inheriting ancestral millions in che
third and fourth generations.
Instead Of becoming extinct, like so
many Of che ''noblo farilies" In France
and England, the lie Of the Ameri-
can money baron az . general rule,
broadens out v::;aAl sao yssrs. he
more frequently, becames che, common
ancestor Of twenty or thirty robust
people than Of 9 feeble syparite, the
! last OF. his houye, whose death filings
. TIA vast family eatates into chancery
or inse the lands Of trustees.
These ar: more or lass comforting
facts. Il IS far better, since there
must he tuge fortunes, that they
should Re divided out among a nun
Der OF heirs than that such fortunes
should be heapedpp from gsaeration

Will the Deaf Hear?

One o. the latest miracles Of
science" 10 a device which, tits claim
ed, will enable persons who. are stone
deaf to hear without difficulty.
M:i!e.a Reese as:SA:ssoSS : 501Ss
electrical engineer who has devoted
much labor to the problem, is the man
who is responsible forthis apcarent-
~ successful solution. According to
the Chicago Chronicle, Mr.. Hutehin-
sons device involves an ingenious ap-
%plication Of the telephone principle,
converting sound wave into electrical
impulses. These impulses act on the
brain in such q manner as to produce
an effect similar to.that Of sound heard
by the normal ear. The apparatus is
so small that it can be conveniently
carried in the pocket.
The inventor calls his device the
"acoustioon,' from q Greek verb
meaning 80 hear II.
This wonderful apparatus, Shouldn't
pass the experimental stage and really
do what is claimed for it, will rank as
:anA e the ggreataat miracles Of onr
time; and the twentieth century 10 en-
age Of miracles. @ .sss
The development Of this invention
will be watched with great interest.

seemed as if all Philadelphia had

Nevertheless, Winner sold this song
to Boston firm for S., believing that
because he had written it with so lit
tie labor it was worth little.
And the firm that profited SO largely
by this modesty never gave him any
extra recompense outside of the or
iginal S5--never shared with him SO
much as penny of the thousands
that the song earned.
In it's day the song surpassed all 9th

ers. in the home. The copy here re-
produced is one of l-cent edition

a review of his career, was a music
teacher, and he also had shop where
he sold music and musical instru-
