"Isn't that awful?" chirped Mrs.
Ilemliaw; "why can't people be honest
anil lull their mates what they did befon

thing I ever did."
"That's a darned right more than

"May I read it, dear?''
"Certainly," replied her husband, "it's

A moment later she gave a shriek,
turned white and then red.
"Ob," she ciclaimed, glaring in lury
at her hu-band. "Oh! you you wretch!

"Why, what's the matter? ' asked her
dumfounded husband.
"Mailer? Vouyillian! Head Ibis,"
and wilh that she handed her husband
the telegram.
"Well, I'll be d d!" exclaimed that
worthy, as he read :

OS MARS.
An astronuiuer at Washington, D. C.
has communicated to the New York
Ilenrldan interesting discovery. It is the
fu.l lhat on I he surface of the planet
M;ms, spelled in Hebrew characters, ii Ihe
name of Ood. For several years past,
the attention of astronomers has been
concentrated on Mars. All that could bo
learned about tho planet from the
telescope and the spectroscope, indicated
a closer resemblanoe to our world than
was borne by any other planet. There
was consequently a probability that if
any planet is iubabilcd by beings like our
selves, il is Wars ihe suggestion was
made that the question of there being
inhabitants on the planet, should be tested
by a signal. It was thought that if some
geometrioul figure were traced on the
earth's surface, by lights on a dark back
ground, it might be visible to people on
Mars, if there were any there, and that if
(hey were as intelligent as ourselves, they
would understand that it was a signal
and respond by giving a similar signal
While the subject was being discussed,
there suddenly blazed nut on tho surface
of Mars three bright lights cqui distant
'roin each other, marking the points of
an equilateral triangle. Was this a sig
nal? Had the people of Mars anticipated
us? No one knew, and no attempt was
made to respond. But the study of the
planet was continued. The Italian as
tronomer Hchiaparelli announced that the
dark straight lines which run across the
surface of Mars like network were doubled.
Ho said that through his tclescopo he
could sec a sccund line running parallel to
the original lines, and he propounded the
theory that tbey were gigantic canals
Tho new hues, he thought, which were
filled only in the spring of tho planet's
season, when the great ice cap at Ihe
Marliju pole melted under the raysoflhc
sun.
Still closer atteuiion has been given
the lines since that theory was broached,
and now comes the discovery that was
made by the Washington astronomer. In
studying the map of Mars, which was
made lor Lowell's Boston leeture, he no
ticed a peculiar conformation of the dtitk
lines. It win that the lines in one place
were the exact shape of tho Hebrew let
ters "Daleth and Yodh." Before the
Daleth thuro was another dark mark
the map. It was a mere fragment on the
edu'e of tho hemisphere. Tho observer
was curious to sue if that too was like
Hebrew letter. He made Mcrcator's
projection of the planet, from whioh he
could see the remainder of Ihe fragment.
It was the llcbtcw bitter "Sheen" The
throe letters from tho Hebrew nauu of
liod. There is no question about the
resemblance. The map shows it distinct,
ly. Whether il is an accidental or natur
I conformation, r has been cut by design,
a signal, there is no moans of ascettain
ing at preaeut. I he latter possibility will
however, give tiew teal to the Btudy of
the planet, which, even if it leads to the
theory of design bciui; abandoned, will
assuredly bring to light proofs of the
lower and wisdom of Ood. In whatever
direeliun exploration is made, there, as
the Hebrew prophet said long ago.

A few miles from Mount Airy, North

Siamese Twins, I'.ng and Chang, who
were born in Shim of Chinese parents in
in 1 S 1 1 . Theselwins travelled all over
the world in charge of their manager
and protector, Mr. Bunker, whose name
they liually assumed. They ciuie at last
into Surry enuiily sight seeing; they tic
dared that it was I In- grandest county
ihey had ever seen, ami having already
made a decent fortune they decided to
buy properly and seltle permanently in
Surry. They met mid fell in love wilh
Miss Adelainc Vales, of Wilkes county.
Miss Yates was in an nwkward predica
ment, beloved by bulb bul neilber could
tell of his ufl'cctiolis without the other
hearing it. Finally the matter was Fet
tled by Miss Siillie Yates, a sister of Mist
Adelaide, consenting to become the bride
of one and Miss Adelaide the other.
The parents of the Misses Yates strenu
ously objected to alio double marriage,
but the young ladies were not to be de
terred, so lin y doped, met their loveis
on the bank of a lilllo stream on the
road sido m ar their home, and, a preacher
being present, they wcro quietly married.
The two couples settled within two
miles uf Mount Airy, and for several
years lived togel her. They finally sepa
rated and built two comfortable bonus,
one belonging to Kng,lbo other to Chang
They lived alternate week's nt each oth
er's homes,and each raised a large family
of children, several of whom still livo and
arc among the most prosperous and high
ly respected people in Surry county.
They were probably Ihe most wonder
ful of all human phenomena, they lived
to an advanced age, and were clever, law
abiding men. It is said that they would
sometimes have little quarrels, and one
would threaten to kick tho other over
1 lie fence. In 1ST I, F.ng who hud been
