He christened them Peter and Repeater. Another blessing of like nature occurred a year ago— both girls, and the happy father called them Kate and Duplicate. But the latest birth of twins has been a puzzler to him for a time—one was a boy and the other a girl. However, the difficul- ty has been got over by calling the boy Max and the girl Climax.—Exchange. How would it do to call the next pair Quit and Acquit, or Omega and Appen- dix ?
