HE HAS TWO MOUTHS.

They have got, a two-mouthed- .man up in theßqwery, New York. He; is a blonde, young map,, with. a smooth face andia sort oi sewer-gas .expression, who sit? on q. platform, drinks water witli one moi^th .and simultaneously smokes a cigarette with] the other, and does various other similar duets •for the delectation of the mob. - f.His upper mouth is in the L fashionable iqcalityyjan'd. constitutes a medium-sized* aperture mi- 4 mediately over his chin". His" other one is. underneath his chin. The lowefWe is.not good for much, as he has had brae's lips fitted, to it, and the two-headed cow, .who feltj .quite badly when became, ;has beqoaie Reconciled aifer. watching his performances. ' Otto Tolpefer is the man. In a talk "with him,, recently .Otto; did not, exhibit that?] satisfaction oyer his ,unusual .blessings that, I ono, might' 'expect. ' He eaid .that *he wajs born that way- and' couldn't Kelp it.- * His folks were' poor, and he Supposed' it' was' a sort of congenial. <sai;casnv on hjs parents, who already had more mouths to till, than the larder was equal to. When ptto, talks he uses his uppei' mouth and shuts the lower one' with' his linger. This gives him a sort of flageolet manner-, thait is a, little trying. It seems as if .he were playing, con-, versational tunes' pu,hims"elf. The luxurious ' vista of ecstasies' Conjured up Ipy the idea of two 'mouths'' Otto does not fulfil. He 1 cannot eat, except .w.jth die upper one", and he cannot talk, very well with either, - U;i-' less he stops up'the lower one^in spiking, he is forced to, talk to a whistling 1 aqcom-, paniment;. This does not .take : plaide +be« caused ftiQ iQ^er ?one is. jealous, "but* because : fche l6W6r- one oahnofc.jJielpi ife.. Moreover, the t tep\s. in^ , his, .trache^al bellows giveshis voice a strange, arid .unreal TThisperiiig sound' like tLafc • of a eexfeorf at a funeral* ' Instead of having the. fair sex dtb feet, as migbfe-ignorant-lyHberexpected, ' Otto i 3 a lonesome b,aohelor s ; x That kissing j tendency which f)av^wih dbserVed^ through j all the scale of organic evolution, beginning with the sunbeams ,that kissed, the sea, ( is discoverable in 4 quiV e a 'number* of Otto's j friends of the"feminine gehd*er> but still th&y l3 ; do not adore hin).^ .^yhenev^r, jnjtheproc6BB, of a courtship he Has jkissed- anybody w,^h ; his upper" mouth, the lower one has whistled.'.
