GREAT CITY FOR TWINS.
In Proportion to It's Total Of Births
Omaha Has Very Large
Percentage.

Omaha has the distinction o. having
larger percentage, Of twins born than
in any other city In the wet In 1894
the births were 1885. In this number
there were u pairs of twins AID one
assortment of triplets. Dr.. Della
Lynch, a physician of Omaha. who has
always been interested in this subject,
says:
Twins are almost heredity. That Is,
the tendency to produce twins runs in
families. Sometimes it skips genera
ton or two, but have seldom known
2 case of twins or triplets where there
had not been twins or double births on
either the fathers or mothers side OF
the family"
There Is family in Omaha in which
the father aud the mother were each
one of twins. Although they rejoice in
q family of five children, there are no
twins among them, much to relief OF
both parents. That's all right" says
the mother. Twins look cute whom

HuMoR m A CABLE CODE.
English Bank Ordered Extra Money
to Prevent Misinterpreta-
ton of Message.

Most people would consider that
bank clerks who are able to End any
amusement In their-to most of them
embarrassing occupatisn, must be
posse led Of lively Imagination, says
the London Bankers Magazine. A
bank clerks duties are monotohous In
the extreme. The continuous posting
Of ledgers, or writlng-up Of pass books,
must have a deadenlng effect Still,
there are occasions when bank men are
able to smile, possibly eyefe 20 laugh
The following, we think. wifi prove our
contention: Not very long ago, for
eign bank was approached on behalf
of a lady who was seriously Ill, and
was asked to inform her husband
(then in India) OF the fact, and c. her
urgent need of ESQ The banks code,
which contained only phrases connect

not enable the message to be short

which could be used was that for ESQ
-"laxative"-and the message thus

urgently requires laxative" In this
form the message might easily have
been misunderstood, there beng moth

code was being used. In order to
prevent any misinterpretat;Jn, the
bank altered the amount to E55, US

PLUMAGE OF THE OSTRICH
Infinite Care and a Thorough Knowl-
edge Requisites to Perfect
Production.

The domesticatien Of the ostrich In
South Africa for the sake Of its
plumage took place less than 30 years
ago. To-day the capital invested runs
into millions.
Ostriches are curious birds. The
male bird sits on the eggs during the
night Is p. m. to a. NJ, the hen
takes up sentry duty during the day,
and the curious thing is that the pair
are punctual to a minute. Eggs left
unprotected for single night will
be useless next morning. The incu-
baton lasts from AZ to As days. When
eight days old the chicks are removed
from their parent birds and put IN a
small Enclosure with an old boy or
woman in charge to tame them; unless
this is done they will, when grown up,
retain a great deal of their wild ma
ture.
Q When the feathers are required a
cap Is placed over the head Of the
bird, which is then put into a box.
The feathers are not cut unless prop
erly matured; that Is to say, when the
blood vein running in the quill has
sufficiently dried up so as to prevent
bleeding The long wing feathers are
cut about one inch from the flesh.
The short ones are drawn. y

PIE FOR INJURED WOMAN.
A Native Massachusetts Housewife
Offered It as a Substitute

Last fall an English woman OF let

driving one afternoon they had the
misfortune to meet the OmEipresent
automobile at a sharp turn OF the road.

up uninjured, but was borrifed to see
her aged hostess lying on the ground
unconscious. Running to nearby
farmhouse, she knocked for some time

FRENCH WATERS THEORY.
Always Eating the Same Kind Of
Bread Cause Of Internal
DeranEsments.

II have a theory about dyspepsia and
Indigestion" said the head waiter IN .
French restaurant, that think ought to
be considered by spssrers from stomach
complaints. believe that much Of this
class of trouble Ii due to peoples per-
sistsncy In eating the same kind of bread
for weeks, months and sometimes
years, without change.
Nov, nobody does that with any
other kind OF food; meat, for instance,
or vegetables, or fruit or other dessert
Yet the average man will eat the same
kind of bread twice or even three times
q day and think himself wise. The stem-
ach, unuess 1t is Of extraordinary consti-
tuition, will naturally get tired Of this
monotony and refuse properly to digest
this eternal bread. Then the bread eater
knows he has dyspepsia and starts on .
course Of dieting-generally sticking re-
ligiously to the same old bread-that
most often leaves him in worst plight
than ever.
There are many varieties Of bread
corn, rye, whole wheat. graham, Bos-
ton brown, aerated, barley. Vienna and
French bread. All Of these differ in the
making and the material, and II the av-
erage man would only take q turn at
some of them for change from his reg.

SUGAR is STRENGTHENING
The Vigor of Modern Women L. At

Various reasons have been assigned

so on have stretched her out and made
her as strong as she is, because her
brothers have had precisely the same
advantage and they have not developed
at the same rata. The secret lies in the
fact that Of recent years girls have be-
come far greater consumers OF sweet
meats than were their mothers and

on the size Of the lower box, saucer,
and a small quantity of ground Of pow
dered tobacco costing few cents an
ounce. To make the fumigator, bore
lengthwise in the box a triple row Of
holes each an inch in diameter. In the
end Of the box, an opening should be
made of sufficient size to allow the pas

bags so that they may be pasted together
so that the covering thus made can be
slipped over the box and tied with
string. In cutting the bags, allow over
laps sufficiently long to insure perfect
pasting.>
Tobacco stems are the means en-
ployed in greenhouses, but are not prae-
tical to use here, as they do not bura
freely enough without considerable fire.
The ground tobacco will smolder, and
give off large volume OF smoke. Hav-
ing made your bag, place your plants to
be fumigated on the box, keeping them
off the holes as much as possible, cover
them with the bag, tying it in place;
light the tobacco which can be held on
a saucer, and then put the saucer
through the opening in the end Of the
box. In fumigating It Is we'll to remem-
Der that q light fumigating performed
twice is much better than fumigating
heavily, with possible injury to the
plants.

DISH-ToWEL FASHION.
The Clean and Cool Combination Of
Blue and White Liked for tho
Kitchen and TowelinR.

It seems incredible that there should
be fashions in dish toweling. But
there are. The man behind the linen
counter declares he has no sale at all
for red-barred dish toweling, whereas
he cannot get enough Of the blue
barred linen to supply the demand.
The reason is simple. Ask any pa
per-hanger or decorator what color the
overwhelming majority choose for
their kitchens.
'Blue and white" will be the prompt
answer, certified by his half dozen
blue samples to one Of any other color.
Why? Well, that is not 30 clear, I'M
less 1t is that blue and white is q
clean, cool combination, and that you
can get blue enamel ware, blue china
and all other accessories to match.
At all events, blue and white being
the popular color for kitchen furnish
ings, the dish towels must match, and
hence the fact that red-barred towel
ing is a drug on the market.

Those who value climbing plants

few gardens wherein it is not rep
resented in some form or other. In
cultivation position is, in many in
stances, Of secondary Importance, for
the plants may often be induced to
scramble into a suitable position in
which to flower. The chief point for
the grower to bear in mind is the
necessity for a well-drained, calcareous
soil. Given such a soil and an ordinary
amount of care everyone should be
able to grow the most up-to-date yarie-
ties. Usually a position against sun
ny wall is selected, but one against
rustic wall is preferable if it is not
too much exposed. When against
wall the plants are liable to suffer
through the excessive heat caused by
reflection and radiation during the hot
test parts of the day. On the other
hand, the practice Of planting against
arches has its drawbacks, as the plants
here are apt to suffer during very Sc

the following: ION Wed. 20 (August)

in it to be drawn by four horses 10
miles an hour; it was performed in SO
minutes and 27 seconds. Each Of the
horses was ridden by jockey, and
only harnessed to the carriage by loose
straps. Between the hind wheels sat
another jockey. who guided the car
