A par of “Siamese twins” from In
dia will be exhibited at the World's
Fair. These twins are pretty girls, who
have been tauwzh’ to play several musical
fnstruments, to sing, and even to dance.
They are joined together as were the
Siamese twins, but the junction is of
bone, and not of skin and flesh merely,
at was the case with the Siamese twins,
This junction, too, is four inches long
and about four inches wide, resembling
gomewhat the form of 9 hump, aad this
keeps their chests amt little stomachs
apart, With this difference they ure as
well formed as any other child, even
down to their nails. Of course, they are
forced to stand facing one another, sud
their four little hands either rest cea the
point of junction, or are placed ou each
other's shoulders. They stand as if lean
ing om one nother, and walk in a pecu
liar mmaner, the one advancing pushing
the other backward, or both moving
sideways, and, as a matter of course, lo-
comotion is very slow. When they sit
down their legs are doubled under them
in a way suggestive of pain and discom

hungry at the same time, and when they
lie down both fall asleep together. They

that the cages stood the fearful attacks

Starvation Prices for Sewing Giris.
A garment calied a blouse is, I un-
derstand, much affected at present
by those ladies who aspire to be in
the mode. One recommendation of
this garment is, I am told by compe.
tent authority, ite cheapness. Some
of my lady readers may be interested
to know at whose cost this cheapness
is attained. There exists at 142
Lansdowne road, London Fields, a
workshop for talloresses and needie-
women, managed by a committee of
ladies, and partially supported by
subscriptions.
To this establishment a well-known
TLoudon firm recently sent a parcel of
blouses, or *Garibaldis,” to be made
up. Each garment was cut in 2%
pieces; The workers, or in this case
the workshop, had to find hooks and
eyes, needles and cotton. The price
offered for each garment was 44d, To
make each one would take about four
hours’ work. After deducting the
value of needles, cotton, cic, a wo-
man could not earn more than 1s. 3d.
at this work in 16 hours. What price
these garments are retailed at do
not know, but 1 trust that none of
my lady readers will in future buy
one merely on account of its cheap
pes, Those who do may well be
think themselves of Hood's lines:
It is not linea you're wearing oul,
