THESE BABY Twins

New Orleans.-Lucio and Sfmplico
Godino are the most remarkable ba-
bies in the world. They are twins, not
quite three years old, and are our lit
tie brown brothers of the Philippine
islands. OF course, there's nothing so
remarkable about that, but listen:
Nature has SO joined the flesh Of
these little fellows that even the great
est of human surgeons do not dare
to part them. Back to back they will
have to go throughout their whole
lives. When one dies the other must
Of necessity follow him into eternity.
Nature has so decreed.
A compact but somewhat elastic.
mass of tissues joins them together
at the base of the spine. Just like
our everyday" twins, the kind more
or less common throughout the whole
country, Lucio and Simplico play
with jumping-j jacks, blow horns, hug
their dollies, and pound on toy drums.
They usually play sitting on the
floor, as under the circumstances they
cannot use chairs. Loosely fitting
dresses make them look much like one
big baby with two heads. But in
doors they discard most Of their cloth
ing, and romp about with much of
their bodies exposed. And just like
ordinary twins, they quarrel, fight and
go after each other with little fists
and finger nails. They both speak
English as we'll as American children
of about their age. Besides that they
speak little Spanish and German.
But Of course they know Filipino best
It is nothing unusual for Lucio to be
talking English while at the same time
simplico will be speaking in another
language.
At times when they are not both
wanting to play with the same toy at
the same time, Lucio and Simplico are

Greeks it was called Libya, and by
the Romans, Africa.
With respect to the word Africa,
Suidas tells us that it was the proper
name of that great city which the Ro-
mans called Carthage, and the Greeks,
Karchedon. 1t is certain, at least,
that it was applied originally to the
country in the immediate neighbor-
hood of Carthage, that part of the
continent first known to the Romans,
and that it was subsequently extended
with their increasing knowledge, till
it came at last to include the whole
continent OF the meaning of the
name, the language of Carthage itself
supplies simple and natural explain
alton; the word Afrygah, signifying
separate establishment, or in other
words a colony, as Carthage was OF
Tyre. So that the Phoenicians OF old,
at home, may have spoken of their
Afrygah, just as we speak of our coh

Of the present day still give the name

ADVENTIST SENT TO PRISON
German Soldier Refuses to Obey Or
ders on Saturday Despite TWO
Sentences.

Berlin. - Private Naumann has
every prospect of spending the re-
mainder of his life in prison because
he persistently refuses to submit to
military discipline on Saturday.
Naumann, who belongs to the sect
known as the Adventists, declares that
Saturday Is the real Sabbath, and that
any kind of work on that day, even
the lightest, is in the highest degree
1907 he refused to obey any orders
between sunset on Friday and sun
set on Saturday.
He was in consequence sentenced
to three months Imprisonment, but
when released resumed his mutinous
conduct and received second SEN
tence of two years imprisonment.
When released again he refused obedi-
ence and was sentenced to five years
Imprisonment.
On appeal, the higher military court
retired the case. Questioned by the
presiding officer of the court, Nau.
mann declared that as Christian sol
der his duty was to obey the religious
law and refuse all work on the Sab
bath. A systematic study of the Bible
had convinced him that 1t was wrong
to regard Sunday as the Sabbath,
which was really Saturday.
It was pointed out that continued
persistence in this attitude would In
evitably result in his spending his en-
tire life within prison walls, and the
presiding officer asked whether Maui
mann was prepared to accept such
consequences. Naumann replied:
Yes, certainly"
Questioned whether in war he
would refuse to fight on Saturdays,
Naumann replied that he would then
obey orders because the danger to
the Fatherland would Justify it.

Pasteurized Cream for Butter.

During recent years the pasteuriza-
ton of cream for butter making seems
to be gaining favor in our best cream
cries. In fact, this practice has be-
come almost necessity in those To-
calities where cream of all kinds is
gathered from various sources. The
butter maker has come to realize that
If he is to have control over his fin
ished product, so that he shall have
some assurance Of the constant and
uniform quality of the output, he must
resort to means by which he can elm
mate the variable factors in his
cream, namely, those undesirable bac-
terra and disagreeable fiavors which
will develop later on and make their
presence manifest in the finished arti-
Gle. BY heating the cream from ITO
degrees to $50 degrees F. and cooling
it at once, nearly all of the bacteria
are destroyed and many of the objec-
tionable odors are driven off.

PROFIT IN DAIRY FARMING
Has Many Advantages as It Brings
Quick Returns, but Success at Ii
Requires knowledge.
RY r B. BuCKHANf.

For the enterprising farmer who
sets about it in the right way, choos-
ing the best stock and employing the
best methods of feeding, there is
plenty of profit in milk, as is being
successfully proven, the country over,
daily.
Dairying has many excellent advan-
tages in it's favor. 1t brings quick re-
turns, with no long waits until the
close Of the season, as is the case with
the growing and marketing of crops.
Then, too, there are no such hazards
to be encountered. Let the season be
tickle or late, let frosts come and de-
structive storms rage, let insects de-
stroy and crops fail to mature as they
should, yet the milk farmer is not
seriously affected, his daily return
coming in as usual.
All winter long he has employment
for his time, and the seasons as they
come and go do not interfere with his
source of income He is more secure
than many of his brethren and is
usually found to display all the signs
of material prosperity.
Yes, there is money to be made in
dairy farming, but success at 1t re-
Quires knowledge and skill. 1t is no
mere machine work which anyone can
superintend One must know how to
go about it. And when he does, it Is
sure to pay.

carry the water to the gutter easily
and quickly, thus keeping the bedding
perfectly dry at all times.
The floor is laid in the usual man
ner, with proper slant toward the
gutter. When finishing the top Of the
concrete, a straightedge is laid from
gutter to manger and with the point
of trowel, grooves or channels are
cut the entire length. These should
be three inches apart and not over
half an inch deep, says writer in
the Popular Mechanics. With such a
depth there will be no danger that a
sharp-shod animal might wrench a
limb by catching the shoe-calks in the
grooves when turning around. This
floor will give the animals greater
comfort and save much labor in
grooming them.

Sour Cream.

1t has been a generally accepted
theory among butter makers that sour
cream made the best butter. This idea
is reversed by the Investigations,
which bring forth the conclusion that
butter made from sweet cream does
not contain the elements that go to
make fishy flavor.
In all the experimental butter made
in the last three years there has been
no trace of any fishy flavor in that
made from pasteurized sweet cream
churned without the addition of a
starter. In butter made from pasteur-
lied cream with starter added, but
without any subsequent ripening,
there has been no fishy flavor, with
one or two exceptions. On the other
hand, many lots of experimental but
ter made from well-ripened cream de-
veloped marked fishiness.

A Concrete Milk Cooler.

tom of cooler laid first; this may be
three and one-half or four inches
thick, as you desire; the box form for
the inside is then set upon this floor
or bottom at an equal distance from
the outside form on all four sides, and
the concrete for the walls placed and
tamped down. At one end the wall is
slightly lower in center to provide for
an overflow, as shown. The tank
should be high enough so that when
filled with water it will be within two
or three inches of the top of milk can,
and as the water is constantly chang
ing, the milk can be cooled in the
shortest possible time; it may also be
built slightly larger to allow for ice
to be packed around the milk cans,
when it is desired to hasten the cool
ing process.

HONEST CONFESSION
A Doctors Talk on Food.

There are no fairer set of men on

Dairying makes it possible for the

The advantages of dairying as a

the income per cow per year.
Heavy producing cows should be
watered twice daily and not be obliged
to drink out in a cold winter wind.
