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 west. In 1894
the births We're 1885. In this number
there were q pairs of twins and one
assortment of triplets. DR.. Della
Lynch, 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 a genera
ton or two, but | have seldom known
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 and the mother were each
one of twins. Although they rejoice in
a 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 when
they are dressed up and out on the
street In a carriage. My mother peri
sisted in dressing my twin sister and
myself exactly alike until we married
and could choose our own clothes. And
every time we went down town to-
gether we could hear people saying:'
oh, just look at those twins. Don't
they look alike?' And to crown 1t all
my husband proposed to my twin Sis
ter one night on the front porch in the
twilight. Of course, he thought it was
me; but it was embarrassing just the
same"
"You are right, twins are no joke"
said her husband Il was always get
ting licked for what my twin brother
did when we were kids. Even now 1t
makes us~}ots of trouble, our resem,
blance. We travel over much The same
territory, although he has different
line from what carry, and people are
constantly mistaking us for each
other"

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

Last fall an English woman of let
ters was staying as the guest of an ell
derby lady at country house In west
ern Massachusetts. While they were
driving one afternoon they had the
misfortune to meet the omnipresent
automobile at sharp turn Of the road.
The horses, being spirited, SHE'D, DASH
ing the carriage against a tree and
throwing its occupants out into the
road.
The English woman picked herself
up uninjured, but was Mortified to see
her aged hostess lying on the ground
unconscious. Running to nearby
farmhouse, she knocked for some time
before she finally succeeded In bring
ing a sun-bonneted woman to the door.
"A lady has been hurt-thrown from
a carriage. She is lying down there in
the road. Can you give me soma
whisky for herr" cried the visitor, in
breathless anxiety.
well, no, we don't never keep NO
whisky" said the native-born after
some elaboration. Would the lady
like a piece of pie?'

Weather Reports Save Money

In spite of the standing joke about
the weather man, it is probable that for
every dollar spent on the weather bu-
reau $40 are saved. At the time of the
Mississippi flood of 1897 S15,000,000
worth of live stock and other valuable
property were saved as a result OF
warnings issued a week ahead. Sig
mails displayed for single hurricane
have detained in port vessels valued,
with the cargoes, at $20,000,000. The
West Indian stations, established in
1898, inform us of hurricanes as soon
as they begin. The course of the hur-
ricane that caused the Galveston flood
was charted for week before it sturck
our shores-for hurricanes move slow
ly. Eighty-five per cent. of the fore
casts now come true, and by the aid of
rural free delivery 25,O00,000 forecast
cards were distributed last year to
farmers, many Of whom could not have
had them five years ago-Country Life

Catchy Music the Thing.

words of hardly any of the popular
songs are worth memorizing. In most

wretched, but the melodies, like beauty
itself, are joy forever.-Boston Tran

Rand gold mines were rather slow
in recovering from the Boer war, but
they are now turning out more gold
than ever before. The July production
of little more than 100000 was the
