Two Heads that Think as One.
The most interesting personality in
New York is Millie-Christine, the two-
headed girl. She is wealthy, intelli-
gent, God-fearing and devout. She
never works on Sundays, and is a
strict churchwoman. '
You man call the combination Millie
or Christine, or Millie-Christine, but
whatever name is chosen two pairs of
lips respond in two voices, so similar
that not even their manager can, with
closed eyes, tell from which of the
two heads the voice comes.

A WOMAN’S COURAGE.
How She Bravely and Succesefully De-
fended Her Property,
An American lady travelling in Italy,
with a younger companion, was forced
to change trains at Bologna after mid-
night, says Household. Hailing the
porter she followed him from one plat-
form to another and after he had de-
posited the ladies’ wraps, and luggage
in the compartment, he received the us-
ual- fee for his services, he, with a
smirk and an Italian “Thank you,”
started for the door.
The quick eye of the elder American
traveller caught a sudden movement
of his left hand. He had grasped the
small hand bag from the seat, where
it had been placed, and was conceal-
ing it under his coat. It contained
valuable jewels, the railway tickets
and all the money which they had
with them.
This was an American woman of
high courage and inflexible resolution.
With one hand she snatched the bag,
and with the other she collared the
porter. Having regained possession of
her hand bag, she flung the man out
of the railway carriage and closed the
dnnl' bullilldllilll.

RED 1N MILLINERY. ‘NSECTS A3 ”300- i A YANKEE INVENTION. -
Foliage an Important Adjunct— Shapes in
flats are Numerous»
(‘By Special Arrangement; with the N. Y. Sun.)
ll‘ color can sound the note of the
new millinery. red bids fair to reign
supreme in this branch of fashion. The
.tirst display of spring hats and bon-
nets is always a jumble of: startling
colors and shapes altogether discour-
aging to the women who prefer ele.
gant and not conspicuous head gear,
but as the season «advances the popin-
jay stfie of hot disappears and good
taste and moderation have an inning.
Just at present red straw, red tulle,
and red flowers, in more shades than
nature can produce, are combined in
one hat. Poppies and geraniums have
the lead in red blossoms, but there
_/"
are green silk poppies in pretty soft
shades, with black centres, which are
very effective on a black hat with
green ribbon and black tulle or kilted
chiffon, which is one of the special fea-
tures of millinery. '
Tulle, with narrow satin straw sewn
on in many rows, is used for bows,
and sequined not will be much em-
ployed. Aigrettes of all sorts and
kinds are in order, as are black and
white paradise plumes, and ostrich
feathers curled round the top in asort
Every kind of ornament in
gold, pearl, steel, jet, and rhine stones
will be used, and a great deal of horse
hair lace which is well spangled.
Moire, glace, and gauze ribbons are
the special kinds in. favor, and white.
in ribbon, flowers, lace and tulle, will
be very much worn when the warm
days come. ..
'With most kinds of flowers foliage
will have a very import-ant place, and
lilies of the valley, sweet peas, Scotch
thistles. and both white and colored
violets are choice selections. Yellow
flowers are to be much worn, and
cowslips arranged to stand up in a
sort of fringe or comb at the back of
the but are a novel fancy.
The fashion of wearing the hats
well tilted over the eye promises to
continue throughout the summer, and
certainly the shade given to the eyes
is very acceptable, even though it is
not always becoming. The shapes in
hats are legion, since so many are
made to order out of the pretty soft
braids'by the milliners to suit the
wearer. but the sailor shape with the
pretty straight brimland medium low
crown, will not be ousted.

Twenty Basketfuls of Ants Sent 3 Travolot
to Eat on His Journey. L’
Gl'flSSllOInJOI'S, moths and butterflies ‘
have often been eaten, and the ancient
Romans used beetles as food. The
Brazillians greatly esteemed an insect
that feeds on the palm leaf. In Chili
and Peru one of the national dishes,
the “chupe de chiche,” is a sort’of
stew made of potatoes and chiche, a
beetle-like insect, which is found in
masses under stones along the water-
courses. Thc blacks or Narrinjeri in
Africa, live almost wholly ontlfe lar-
vae, or eggs, of the fly, which they find
under the bark of certain trees. David
Livingstone tells how he lived upon
this food for some time, and gives an
account of the natives going about with
a sort of needle stuck behind their
ears. suggesting so many clerks with
pencils tucked above their ears ready
for use. With these needles the ne-
gro'es skillfully pierced the bark on the
trees, and dug out their food. The In-
dians of Nevada also partly live upon
flies—or such of those Indians do as
remain in their original wild condition
—and make a sort of cake out of the
insects. which is said to taste very
much like salted meat. In Africa
some of the larger ants are used for
food. ’

AMuch Better and Easier Way Than the
01d Method. . ~
Everybody has heard of poultry
farms, but poultry factories are in the
nature of novelties. Yet one was
started. in that good suburb of New
town, Jersey City, and was
moved from there to Chicago, so as to
be closer to the raw material. It all
began in this wise. When Governor
Morton was; Ambassador to France he
dinate capacity, a constituent named
Williams; from somewhere up the
State Mr. \Villiams got interested in the
French method of fattening fowls. It
was a tedious process, he discovered;
the birds were confined closely and
bandied—literally crammed with pel-
lets of dough made of rye and barley
llour, mixed with sweet milk.
Mr. “'illiams: thought he knew, or
could know, a trick worth several of
that. He set his wits actively to work.
The result being that he put up an ex-
perimental plant and felt justified in
bringing his business to the notice of
New York hotel proprietors, market
moguls and bons-vivants.
Then he built a factory—a long, low,
square building—inside of which was a
big room, whitewashed and as bare as a
barn. Across the end a little space
was was partitioned off. This was
the factory kitchen, in which milk;
meal and flour of various grades were
compounded into a rich gruel, barely
liquid enough to flow easily through a
nozzle.
Down each side of the big room ran
a row of wooden cylinders, pivoted at
top and bottom, and turning easily. All
the outer surface of them was'cut into
box-like compartments, each barely
big enough to hold a good-sized hen.
To be exact, there were seven hun-
dred compartments to a cylinder. They
vcre open at the back and had a
smooth iron ring, as big asthc thumb,
at one Side. From this ring a leather
strap was looped around the left leg of
the fowl to be fattencd. The birds
were placed bills out.
A cylinder was charged all at. once.
The plan was to fill two each day, so
as to have fourteen hundred fat birds
coming to hand each morning. Three
weeks was the period of fattening, and
an ordinary-sized fowl gained from a
pound and a half to three pounds while
in the cylinder. The feeding— and that
is where the patents came in—was a
sight to see. The feeder sat in a sling
swung from the ceiling, and five times
each day fed the chicks from a nozzle,
with which he shot the food into their
wide open mouths—New York Journal.
Glass Coffins.
Glass coffins are soon to be manufac-
tured by a plate—glass company in Ko-
komo, Ind., for two men who have in:
vented and patented such an article and
formed a company to introduce it. The
bottom and sides of the coffin are to be
made of rough, ungronnd, and unpol-
ished glass, but the top is to be of high-
ly polished plates of glass. The inven-
tors think there are several good points
in the coffin and lots of money. too.
