Has Heart at Each Side.

A man with two hearts-one at each
side-has just been married in Rome.
Notwithstanding this strange freak OF
nature. the man enjoys vigorous
health, and the physical system is
working excellently. His popularity
has made his fortune. for he has been
much exhibited on the Continent, and
has settled in Italy owing to having
fallen in love with young woman Of
the district where the wedding took
place. In consideration of a sum OF
$4,000 the man with two hearts has
sold his body after death to the ana

Lots to Learn.

The proprietor of the laundry was
greatly disappointed at the showing
of the new laundress who had told
him she was experienced in order to

picking up the shirt which she had
ironed and examining it critically.
The bosom isn't a bit bad, but the
neckband is something fierce. Always
remember that the neckband should
be ironed SO that the collar button

Makeup Of Norway.s Army.

In Norway during peace time 25 900
troops are usually trained. including
the seventh year Landvarn course
Every Norwegian is liable to serve in
the army or navy, commencing in his
twenty-second year and lasting six
teen years. viz. six years in the line,
six years in the Landvarn, and four
years in the Landstorm. But even in
the line the soldier is kept with the
colors for certain period during each
of the first four years OF service. al.
though in the Landvarn all do short
training in the first year. On mobiliz-
alton the line would yield $4,000
troops. the Landvarn $4,000 and the
Landstorm $4,000; total, 10000. Hith-
erto. the arrangement has been that
the first line alone is liable tn ssrve

origins Of FASHIONS whims.

Fashions in dress often have their
origin in the wish to hide disfigure-
ment. The voluminous trunk hose
worn by English gallants at the begin
ming of the seventeenth century were
introduced. says the British Medical
Journal, by James l.. as a means of
conceaiing an unsightly malformation.
Slaves OF fashion to whom Nature had
refused an adequate curve OF the hip
had to supply the deficiency by arl.
Readers will remember the story told
by Carlyle of the discontinue of the
unlucky courtier who sat down on a
nail, and on rising to receive his mai

pecks of bran, and stood a pitiable
figure with his breeches hanging in

DIAMONDS WHILE YOU WAIT.
Valuable Crystals Made In Laboratory
Of Prof. Moissan.


The art of making diamonds has
been given a step forward through
study of the diamond-bearing meteoric
iron of Canon Diablo. In a section of
this famous meteorite Prof. Moissan
has found numerous diamonds-both
black and ansparent-together with
graphite and phosphorus and sulphur
combined with iron. He has also
made experiments to determine the
effect of silicon, sulphur. and phos-
phorus. Iron was fused with a large
mass of sugar in a crucible in an cleo
trio furnace. A soon as the molten
iron had become saturated with car
bon-partly from the sugar-a small
proportion of iron sulphide was intro
duced, and the crucible was plunged
into cold water. With rapid cooling
as an essential, the carbon crystal
lized out from the center OF the mass.
The iron sulphide considerably in.
creased the yield of diamond crystals.
as did also the silicon, but phosphorus
had no influence.-Science Siftings.

HEART RIGHT

Life Insurance Companies will not

This Is serious matter to the hus-
