The Peculiar Gin of Two Elchteen-Year Old Sons of an Ohio Farmer- Closest Sympathy With Each Other-Wonder ful Demonstrations by the Brothers. The Canal Dover (Ohio) correspond ent of the Chicago Inter-Ocean writes as follows: A most singular power of telepathy, or mind-reading, between twins has been demonstrated near the isolated village of Trallville.v John and ltobert Evnnj arc the twins who have this peculiar gift The boys are about eighteen years old, and are sons of J. E. Evans, a well-to-do farmer. Both have light hair and blue eyes, and they are so much nllice that the father lias never been quite sure which is John and widen Is Robert. The twins are like In temperament and have always shown the closest Sympathy with each other. It is only recently, however, that they have dis covered their telepathic power. The first exhibition of it took place about four months ago. John had b?en sent into the woods to hew some trees, while Robert helped his father build fences on another part of the farm moro than a mlle distant Just before dinner Robert suddenly dropped a piece of timber which he was helping his father to carry, and cried out, us If he were hurt. Turning about lu alarm, the father saw thc boy standing with his eyes closed. "John is hurt! I can hear him scream and I can see him," Robert said. "The axe glanced from the tree and the sharp edge struck him on the foot. He ls sitting on thc grouud and ls bleeding dreadfully. He has begun to tear up his shirt and is trying to hind up the wound. He is near the sid spring, back of the peach orchard." Suddenly the boy opened his eyes, looked at his father for an instant, iud then started on a run toward the point where his brother had gone to ivork In the morning. Mr. Evans Ooked after him helplessly and then followed, somewhat dazed. When ho irrlved at the spring he found the conditions precisely as Robert had lescrlbed them. John had cut his foot severely by a glance blow of the axe md had torn off his shirt sleeve, with vhlch to blnu up the wound and check he flow of blood. John himself testi ied that he had cried out In pain vhen the axe struck him, and seemed mt nt all surprised that his brother tobert knew at once of his plight, al hough the sound of his voice could lever have been carried half the dis ance they were separated. These facts were told to the boys' ?other, and were repeated to the lelghbors. At first people did not redit the story fully, but since then hjy^^ye, had .ample. evlden^^^y^: rard Robert was working alone be lind the plow In a field more than aile from the house, where he : ?ft his twin brother that mo Vhile steering the plow t... j ough and rocky piece of ground the .low-share was broken. There seemed lothlng to do but unhitch tho horses nd go home, although thc hour was nly mid-afternoon. Then Robert sud lenly thought about the time John ut his foot with the ax, and he de ermlned to make his wants known to ils twin. He accordingly closed his yes and tried, he said, to get his mother's attention, although John was nore than a mile distant When he elt that John was listening to him ie told his brother to go to the barn, vhere there was a new plow point in he buggy shed hanging against the vail. He also told John to bring a nonkey-wrench which was in the tool :hest Robert then sat down on the ?low and waited. It was not more han fifteen minutes until, he said, he rtelnly felt John asking him which nonkey-WTcuch he should bring-the :mall one or a larger one. After again Adding him to bring the large one he igain sat down and waited patiently. Not more than a half-hour elapsed be fore he saw John running toward him vlth the new plow poiut and the large nonkey-wrench. The broken plow >o!nt was hastily removed and the lew one put in its place. Then Rob ert continued lils plowing and John re amed to the house. The twius seem :o think there ls nothing very remark ible about their marvellous gift of communicating with each other when they are far separated. The distance :hey are apart seems not to make any lifference. Not long ago John had occasion to ;o to the county-seat, which ls twelve niles from his home. At the wish of 'heir parents the twins determined to iemonstrate whether they could com municate with each other at tuis dis tance. Robert remained at homo, and ifter John had been gone more than in hour he said he could see his broth er driving along the road and they were talking with each other Just as readily as if they had been together and had uttered the words aloud. This conversation W?S kept .up at intervals as long us John remained in the town. Just after Robert had said John was leaving on hks return journey the mother discovered that she needed some fruit cans. Robert at once stopped John on his return journey and told him to drive back to get three dozen tin fruit cans and some sealing wax. John asked a few ques tions and then told Robert he would return for the cans. About twilight that evening John arrived home with the three dozen fruit cans and the sealing wax which he had been told to get. These are only n few of the wonder ful demonstrations that the brothers arc able to give. Their power has proved a helpful one on many occa sions. Each knows the ol ber's where abouts at all times. They can see each other aud exchange thoughts, however widely they may be separat ed. _' Chinese Kiddles. "What is the fire that has no smoke and the water that has no fish?

One of the most interesting phases of linguistic studies pertains to tiiD changes In the meanings of words, which, ns we know, may become b|~ ter or may become worse. A word may even come to mean precisely th? reverse of what lt did to a prevJow age. The term crank Is a recent coin age, but until now has been unlfo?i?i, ly applied to those peculiar peor$8? whose fads or whims have not be?? held worthy of imitation, but rath?l of contempt. They were thought bj| low normality In Intellect and ability At present among medical men one; .hears the word applied to those wiro! show very different characteristics! and the fact Indicates that the word ls undergoing a decided change In sfej nlficnnce. A man of character woul?j not call a characterless man a eran? simply because he Is a sharper, bw the reproachful word Is frequently! used by the characterless to denot? , a physician of exceptional honor ahflt integrity. We recently heard a healf*\ officer who has shown heroic zeal an?| unselfishness In the administration ?M his office stigmatized as a heal?? crank. He has no hobbles, except m| protect the community from infections: diseases. In all such cases the secrw motive is to excuse one's self for lacig of professional or ethical spirit tra| calling the better man by this ore|i probrious name. One who hates med? leal politics ls dubbed a crank by trag politician. The schemer for office thi?l appears to justify himself. The medjs leal editor who sells his columns io the reading-notice man naturally calhjg the better journalist who refused to do this a crank. Those who cxhibli?1 zeal for professional good, who criittij: else professional abuses are, by 'ila; fact of their existence, a standing r?|p b?ke to those who never had or who never obeyed au Ideal of duty, unffi they are naturally anxious to blde? their shame by crying crank. It ls an odd bit of psychologic legerdemain which only fools the fool. When these! feel the sting of conscience, they whis per devil, devil, or hunt up a scape goat. It will soon be that nil trick sters will call all honest men cranks, and then a new word will have to be devised for the old-time fad-rider. A!l :; medical reformers are cranks to those ' who compound with sins they have a ' mind to, so that . soon the word re former will be a useless synonym.

The mothe: watching by the bedside of the little one, despatched a message tied on a carrier pigeon to her husband nt his |! store. In the. messnge she wrote the nature of thc child's alarming illness, and made an urgent appeal for medi cine to save Its life.

THE splendid, rond conditions existing on tho continent of Europe can be duplicated here. The question ls one I jr the people themselves to solve, and lt is actually being solved in the United States to-day by the voluntary action of communities in various sections of the country. ' For example, writes General Roy Stone, In the New York Journal, I heard that there were some especially good stone roads being constructed In the State of New York, 60 I went there myself, and to make sure that I should make a thorough test, I went lu the midst of a January thaw. I got a pair of horses and a. light buggy to test other roads around the coun try and I found that with a great deal of difficulty I could drive over them. But In the section where tho farmers had been building the. stone loads 1 found that two tons of hay were be ing hauled with two ordinary horses on a common narrow-tired wagon. 1 said to the farmers: "How did you get started In this business of building roads?" They said: "Wc started it ourselves. We thought we could do somcthlug. as our fields are full of stone, with stone fences along the road, so wo scraped together enough money to buy a rock crusher, hired an eugine to run It, and arranged to bring lu the stones and haul back the crushed stone." They have actually gone so far as to petition the Legislature fur the privi lege of increasing their taxation be yond what the law allowed, and the result ls that all the farmers in that township are anxiously walting for the roads to be exteuded luto their particular neighborhoods. I said to them: "Doesn't this pile up your taxes?" "Why," oue farmer said, "lu this one week, by the advan tage of having these stone roads and getting to market with my hay, when lt sells nt a good price, my teams have earned $3 every day, while my neigh bors' teams on the other roads are eating their heads off. We could not afford not to have these roads; we Jo not care anything about the taxa tion." A bright gt?Ho????- .. uc uiuereuce uetween good and bad oads was seventy-eight cents an acre nnunlly on their farms. This, taken all over the farm area of lie United States, would make $5,000, 00. I took a broader view of it, and sent ut letters to thc lu.000 farmers lu ie United States who had been se cted as the best representative men i gather statistics for tho Department '. Agriculture. Taking the proper coBt to be the .eseut cost to the farmers in the K)d roads district of New Jersey, here there are actually as good roads i are foum' iu any part of Europe, found that the cost of hauling over e ordinary roads of the country is st about three times ns much as thc st of hauling over good stone roads, here a load is three tons on good ads it is ono ton on the average rm roads. A BnslncMS Proposition. The steady progress of thc good ids movement among farmers shows i study that is being given this ry important economic question, caking of the necessity for highway provement A. B. Choate, Yice-Pres nt of the League of American leelmeu, says: Every person who is at all famil wlth the business of a modern Iway company knows that but a ctlon of its money and employes engaged in actual hauling of ight and passengers from one city another. Wc know that millions dollars and thousauds of men are iloyed by the raliway companies secure suitable terminals and to die freight, and passengers when In actual trausit. And-yet no man be found who is so foolish ns to ik that au immense raliway busi 5 can be profitably conducted un the best modern railroad bed and k are provided for that part of business which consists of haul goods and passengers, o lt is with the vast agricultural ness of the United States. Al igh most of the work is done on furm, a large part of lt couslsts In ing freight, and every well-in lcd person knows that a good on road for raliway business is of the most important facilities lolng this business.
