? Peculiarities of Twins. A teacher who duriug many years of child training has counted i among her pupils more than one i pair of twins, has interesting facts to tell about them. They may look, Rhe says, as much < alike as two peas iti a pod, so far as face and figure go% but it is seldom their dispositions are alike, i Of twin boys she once thought i one was an earnest student, the : other was a typical tomboy hated lessons and would not. touch ai< book, except under compulsion.! in spue 01 tneir dissimilarity i they were inseparable com- i panions, witii the usual bond of : love between them which seems < to exist when children are born i into the world together. They went, to college together and graduated on the same day, one with high honors, the other barely , got through his examinations j although he had won fame as an i athlete Twin girls, who were ! under the instruction of this < teacher, again were wonderft.lly alike in lace, tastes and min s. ! They both had a love for music ' and their progress, their voices,r were as much alike as it they L had been one instead of two.? I, Good Housekeeping Moors Indifferent to Lite. 1 Of all the Oriental races theie f aie none more callous and indif \ fereut to human life than the 1 Moors. A traveler who recently ^ returned from Morocco related the following anecdote in proof of this fact. The grandfather ol the present Sultan was one day boating on the lake in the gar dens of the palace, the boat, by ' the way, being a small steam launch given him by Queen Vic toria. By some accident the boat capsized, and the Sultan and two of his wives, by whom he was accompanied, were thrown into the water. A soldier on guard in o part of the palace out, of view! heartl the cries, and running up, sprang into the water and rescued the Sultan's favorite wife, the ruler himself scrambling out unaided. Later in the day the soldier was sent for, and presented himselt joyfully before his monarch, convinced that his reward would be great. "You are the soldier who rescued the delight of my eyes?" quoth the Sultan. She soldier bowed. "Did you dare to look at her?" "I did, your highness," replied the soldier, taken oil" his guard. The Sultan turned to an oflicer, murmured a few words, and a moment! later the soldier was on his way to the headsman. That was his j i y m iv i i reward.?ramity noraiu.

I What Mas Been Done in Development of Dairying and Stocking Raising. Mr. C. A. Ransom, who is well j known in the South on account of his conspicuous work in agricultural rnnt\ tern and his connection with the South I'aroiina department of agriculture, an?l now with the Southern Cotton Oil Company, as District Manager, at Atlanta, Ga., in writing about the Influence of cotton seed products on the development of dairying in the South, says: "About 1R50, a few wealthy and enterprising Southern planters imported some Devon cattle from England. These were turned loose in canebrakes with the native scrubs and allowed to roam over large areas of wooded country, picking up a precarious living on the scant pasturage afforded by the woods freshly burned over by the forest fires in the spring. Although widely scattered and a few In number, the prepotency of this breed wan so great that in many sections the evidence of this infusion of good blood is stjll visible In the stock. "No well-to-do planter at that time considered that he hud milch cows enough to supply the wants of his family utiles he owned at least twenty-live or thirty head. These droves of halfwild and half-famished animals were located towards nightfall by the ringing of a bell hung around the neck of the leader. They were driven to the cow-pen, sometimes miles from where they were found in the woods, a spasmodic effort was made to extract milk from them, penned up over night, and a second attempt made upon them the next morning. The 'average yield' was about one quart per cow. "The Idea of increasing this production by judicious feeding was not thought of. This was the rule, hut of course there were notable exceptions. People who did n"t own unlimited acres of land, and who appreciated milk and butter, took better care of their COWS foil Ihi.m roirn in ? !,* .....I nil ? thorn to pasture during the day on tlieir neighbors' land. This pasturing was more to give them proper exerwnd keep them healthy than to afford them any means of subsistence. To such an extent had the cattle interests of South Carolina in 1880 depreciated that the repairs to the farm fence cost more than the value of the cattle in the Stnte, and the probability Is that the same was equally true of nearly all the Southern States." Then came the "No Fence Law," which compelled th<* owners to fence the cattle instead the crops. This j forced the farmers own good milch cows, or none at it became too i expensive to feed poor stock. About this time, or perhaps a little earlier, appeared the "Jersey" on the scene, a breed of cattle as suited to the needs of those who were "too poor to own a cow, and too proud to milk a goat." But this beautiful little animal soon demonstrated that she was not a "quitter." and, furthermore, that she "filled ,a long felt want," and, with propar attention, gave rich returns on 1 in-- ?
