That nature Is not without a latent
sense of humor Is often demonstrated
by the strange abnormal creatures and
freak growths she produces, and rare.
ly does a week pass by that some one
of the many Illustrated publications
does not contain a photograph Of a GU.
riosity OF this character. Accordingly
the Scientific American adds one more
to the list of oddities In a two-headed
box tortoise, the property of e. s.
Schmid, taxidermist of Washington.
The turtle, which Is of a common
and well-known variety, and whose
scientific name Is terrapene Carolina,
was found in Fairfax County, Virginia
near Mount Vernon, and with the ex.
ception of It's superfiuity of heads an
pears to differ little from the ordinary
representatives of its kind. The truth
of this, however, could only be ascer
tanned at the cost, we fear, of the crea
lures life, for its armor-like shell
would make an investigation of its In
ternal economy hazardous, If not inn
possible. The animal appears to bt
about four months old, and measure:
some two by one and three quarter
inches, the shell being possibly a trifit
larger than would ordinarily be tht
case. The two heads are nearly OF ths
same size, and as far as can be seer
are perfect in all respects. It's Other
visible members do not exceed the usu
al number, and 1t is probably not In
correct TO conclude that the multpllcft,
IS confined to the heads. These do no
feed together but do so separately anf
alternately. and appear, furthermore
TO be otherwise Independent.

AN oLp.FAsHIoNEo WOMAN.

No clever, brilliant thinker she,
With college record and degree;
She has not known the paths Of fame,
The world has never heard her namei
She walks in old, long-trodden ways,
The valleys Of the yesterdays.
Home is her kingdom, love is her dover
She seeks no other wand of power
To make home sweet, bring heaven near
To win q smile and wipe tear,
And do her duty day by day
In her own quiet place and way.
Around her childish hearts are twined,
As round some reverend saint enshrined
And following hers the childish feet
Are led to ideals true and sweet,
And find all purity and good
In her divinest motherhood.
She keeps her faith unshadowed still
God rules the world in good and ill;
Men in her creed are brave and true,
And women pure as pearls of dew.
And life for her is high and grand,
BY work and glad endeavor spanned.
This sad old earth's a brighter place
All for the sunshine of her face
Her very smile a blessing throws,
And hearts are happier where she goes,
A gentle, elear-eyed messenger,
To whisper love-thank God for heri

Three wooden slaves, seven feet h;gh
were fastened together in the form of a
triangle. The structure looked not nm.

bound. His feet were fastened with
thongs to the base of the Triangle: his

Its fullest length, and his white back
shone in the sunlight. During his tying

Rufus Dawes looked from the three
stern faces to Kirkland's white back.
and his face grew purple. In all his
experience he had never been asked to
fog before. He had been fogged often
enough. He picked up the heavy cat.
and drew Its knotted lashes between his
fingers.

without turning his head. "You are no
more than another man."
Rutus Dawes iirreu the cat, swunaA IL
round his head and brought its knottGd
cords down. The white back was In
stantly striped with six crimson bars.
Kirkland stifed cry. 1t seemed to
him that he had been cut in half.
Now, then, you scoundrel" roared
Burgess; separate your cats! What
do you mean by fogging a man that
fashion,
Rufus Dawes drew his crooked An
gers through the entangled cords and
struck again. This time the blow was
more effective, and the blood beaded on
the skin. The boy did not cry; but
Macklewain saw his hands clutch the
slaves tightly, and the muscles of his
naked arms qaiver.
The third blow sounded as though Il
had been struck upon a piece of raw
beef, and the crimson turned purple. The
fogging proceeded in silence for ten
strokes, and then Kirkland gave q
screech like a wounded horse.
"Oh!-Captain Burgess!-Dawes!-
Mr.. Troke!-Oh! oh.-Mercy oh, doc
tor!-Mr. North!-Oh! oh! oh!'
The lads back, swollen into a hump,
now presented the appearance of a ripe
peach which a willful child has scored
with a pin. Dawes turning away from
his bloody handiwork, drew the cats
through his fingers twice. They wers
beginning to get clogged a little.

Religious Revival at Albion

Albion, Neb.-Resulting from the re-
cent revival meetings held here un-
der the leadership Of Evangelist Lyon,
the Methodist Episcopal church has
Increased it's membership to thirty
four, while others who have not as
yet joined have signified their inten-
ton to do SO, and it is expected the
total number of new members will
not fall much short of fifty. The
Congregational church received thirty
two new members last Sunday, and
it, too, expects to add several other
new members in the near future.
While the Baptist church has received
no new members as yet, about twenty
recent converts have expressed an in
tention to join this church and will
doubtless become members of the
same. The business mems prayer
meeting meets daily at 9 o'clock In
the morning and is attended by about
fifty of the business men of the city.
Rooms have been rented in the Albion
National bank building which are
used for the daily meetings, but will
soon be fitted and furnished as read
ing rooms, and an effort is being made
to organize Young Mems Christian
association.
