Mr.. Barnum Knew Them.

The late P. T. Barnum was a keen
student of human nature, as well as
natural humorist, and nothing which
set forth human traits that were odd,
or amusing, escaped his attention, says
Success. He was very fond of telling
stories of incidents that brought out
features in human character-one of
which, that delighted him immensely
was connected with the Siamese Twins.
When he was exhibiting those Orien-
tai freaks. the press of the country
made them widely known, and they
became very soon one of his best draw
ing cards.
One day there came to see them a
back-country rustic. who was perfect
ly absorbed in them. and inquisitive
enough in regard to them to require
almost a bureau of information to an
sWer his innumerable questions. Mr..
Barnum happened to be the one ques-
toned, and he was asked their age,
occupation, original home. whether
they were single or married. their
weight and stature, and their religious
belief. Nothing. at any rate, was too
trivial or irrelevant, which the rustic
thought of, all of which interested the
Snowman intensely.
Finally, the bucolic visitor started
slowly but reluctantly. to leave; but,
after walking away few steps, he
returned, and said. with the most SOL
emn simplicity:
"They are brothers, presume.

fete days, came through the mails
in a bulky-loolSing package. The en-
velope was not properly sealed, and
when the end of it was torn open
for inspection, the bug scrambled out.
Clerks who had never seen one of
the bugs were afraid Of it, and 1t was
carefully picked up in a handful of
scrap paper and placed in a small box.
1t is against the postal regulations to
send live stock through the mails, and
the government will not assume re-
sponsibility for the safe delivery of
such, so the bug was sent to Wash
ington. The bug came into the foreign
mails department, which is in charge
of Jerome Leher. He says that a big
percentage of the strange things that
pass through the mails come from for
eign countries. Nearly every mail
pouch from abroad contains live stock
in the shape of bugs of some sort.
and many OF the clerks in the foreign
department are up on entomology as
well as expert in the use Of disln-
fectants.

The dishes she used to invent"

And although over English I've lost
my command.
My Creole and Scotch never fails"

ished the town.
You stood all unmoved and serene"

SO an earthquake, YOU sec, has no ter
rors for me,
heed not slight jostles or Jars"

You know all the perils pertaining 10

Yet hear you would like 10 enlist"
In the days 0f my youth" Father
