Davis Sisters.

The following story is going thu
rounds of the press and is datet
/ Williamson, W.Va:-
On last Sunday the --latest girls
on earth" arrived here on No. Is
] Mamie Davis, modest maiden Of
! 90, whotips the scales at 7l3 lbs
avordupois, and her sister, Gertir, a
inoma Miss Of 16 summers who
claims only the modest weight OF
$50.
They are accompanied by their
parents and a brother of 10. The
parents are both of medium statute
and weight, while the brother is
small for one of his age.
The Davis home is located 8 miles
from the county seat of WAYNE Co.
They traytl very little, never hav-
ing been more than 100 miles from
home.
The eldest mas bt EN- unable 70
walk for ten years past, owing to
her preat weight.and she sits calm
ly in her"sp4ciai chair and waite hes
the DAYS 90 by. The chair is about
4 # wide, with legs made Of the
strongest oak. 4 inrhes in diameter,
anil every available inrh of its seat
ing capacity is well filled.
Gertir walks abont with alncrity
and is fat and jolly. She se+ms
proud of the fact that she weighs
only $50 lbs as compared with her
SISTERS 713. In coming here on tl'r
train the doors of the passenger
coaches were not large enough for
their entrance, and they were load
ed Oh the express cal, being taken
in at the side door.
1t is not known just how much
the railroad company determined
their fare, but in all probability
they would have made monev by
charging express rates instead of
the regular Be per mile.
The Davis girls have had many
tempting offers made them to trav-
ell with large shows. but they seem
,to prefer STAY ing at home than be
aug admired or wondered al by
9Th )usands.

A Slick Swindier.

A clever confidence game is be-
ing worked in some sections of Vi.
ginia with great success, and ma,
soon be attempted in Highland.
A welldre&sed man stops at ii
farmhouse and announces that he
kas lost u valuable diamond pin in
the roadway, and the family oblis.
ingly turns out and makes IL search
Nothing is found, but before
leaving the stranger says he will
return again, and if the pin is
found he will give reward Of $3.50
for it's recovery. A few days later
a tramp appears with pin, pre-
snmably n diamond, which he says
he found in he road. The farmer
takes the bait and buys the pin for
$50 or $25, expecting to get $3.50
liz a reward. After vainlY waiting
for the return of the lnSer, the
farmer takes the pin to a jeweler
and learns that it is worthless.

Persian Teara.

The Persians still believe that human
tears are a remedy for certain chronic
diseases. At every funeral the bottling
Of mourners' tears is one Of the chief
features Of the ceremonies. Each Of
the mourners is presented with a
sponge with which to mop of his face
and eyes, and after the burial they
are presented to the priest, who
sQueezes the tears into bottles, which
he keeps. This custom is one of the
oldest known in the east and has prob
ably been practiced by the Perslans
for thousands of years. Mention is
made of it in the Old Testament.

THE CAMEL.
He Has Dangerous Temper, and
His Bite Is Vicious.

He Has a Dangerous Temper, and
His Bite Is Vicious.
The camel is q dangerous animal to
ride-a much more dangerous animal
than the horse-for the reason that,
with his serpentine neck, he can reach
round when annoyed and bite his rider.
Camels are not at all the patient,
quiet, kindly creatures they are paint
ed. They have nasty tempers. A cara
van crossing the desert is always noisy.
The loud and angry snarls Of the cam
els make the waste places resOund.
A camels bite Is q serious matter.
The strong teeth lock in the wound and
circular motion Is given to the jaw,
around and then back, before the teeth
are withdrawn again. The wound Is
horrible one. There are few camel
drivers without camel scars.
Dr. Nachtigal. the celebrated African
explorer, once said to O youth who ex-
pressed sentimental desire to cross
the Sahara OH camel back:
young man, III tell you how you
can get partial idea Of what riding a
camel in an African desert Is like.
Take ali office stool, screw it up as
high as possible and put it along with
q savage dog into wagon without any
springs. Then seat yourself on the
stool and have 1t driven over uneven
and rocky ground during the hottest
parts Of July and August, being care
ful not to eat or drink more than once
every two days and letting the dog bite
you every four hours. This will give
you faint idea Of the exquisite poetry
of camel riding in the Sahara."-St.

A MUSTARD POULTICE.
II Made Lot of Trouble and Didn't
Cure the Cold.

|
Lord Darlington used to be a great
practical Joker, but he was once the
victim Of his own reputation. Accord
Ing to the Dundee Advertiser, he was
at hotel in Cape Town. In the same
| hotel were young couple, and, the
husband having bad cold, the wife
left her room to obtain for him the
solace Of mustard poultice. She left
him asleep and, thinking she knew her
way, descended the stairs and, procur-
ing a particularly virulent concoction,
made her way back to her room. But
doors are much alike in hotels, and,
seeing one ajar, as she had left her
own, she entered. Creeping quietly to
the bedside, she saw, as she thought,
the form Of her sleeping lord and mas
ter. Hastily bending over him, she
placed the fatal irritant upon his chest.
No sooner had she done so than q
movement Of the sleeper revealed, to
her horror, that she had made a terrible
mistake. Too frightened to recapture
the discriminating pOultice, she fed
from the room and, rushing down the
passage, discovered her own door and
bolted herself In. 1t was but min
ute, and the storm broke. The hotel
was in an uproar. The mustard pOul-
tlce had been placed on the chest Of
the elderly governor general! The ex-
ploslon Of his wrath, his bowls Of rage
as the mustard did its work, brought
servants and manager to his bedside.
The situation did not permit Of an
explanation. Furious with indignation,
he declared himself the victim Of a
gross joke, and the efforts Of the mat
tire dhotel to pacify him were In vain.
He swore that the practical joker was
nobody else than Lord Darlington, and
he next day. Tuning and indignant,
left the place. So did n very contrite |
young wife and husband whose cold
was no better.
