PRODIGIES. have two prodigies in Kan
Sas in the shape Of two girls, who are afflicted
with disease to which medical men fud it
difficult to apply name. They take sudden
fits Of something or other, nobody knows what,
and 90 around in all forms, biting the legs Of
chairs and tables. They handle red hot Goals
and put them into their mouths, and laugh at
it as if it were the jolliest kind of sport imagi
uable One day doctor visited them aud
found both girls under the spell. He says he
saw one crawling about, biting the legs of the
chairs and tables while the other was talking,
laughing and dancing around the floor in a
most unnatural manner. The legs of the chairs
and tables bore evidences of the frequent spells
Of the one that was in the habit OF biting, by
being gnawed and bitten out as horses man
ger. He tried to catch the girl who was dauc-
lug around but she evaded him in the most
skIltul manner, continually talking to him.
laughing heartily, but 10 manner that would
make the flesh creep. The other girl paid no
attention to him, but kept continually crawling
from one object to another, and biting them all
as she passed. 1t is popularity with these
afflicted chewers that as soon as one OF them
says II want" the spell is broken. In fact,
the doctor final y caught the little girl, when
she said, Don't touch me; let me alone. l
want"-and that breaking the spell, she turn
ed a color as white as driven snow, and both
burst out crying and retired to distant part OF
the room, their arms around each other, and
could not be prevailed upon to say another
word. AS rule, woman begins to grow exct-
ed as soon as she says 81 want" particularly if
her husband or her papa buttons his pocket
and talks about hard tunes; but here is "a case
10 which she no sooner finds she wants some
thing than she grows calm.

a GENTLEMAN living in retired part of Rox-
bury has q cat of an agricultural turn of mind,
which be is inclined to dispose of cheap to some
body who will take proper care of it. This cats
regularity is an unconquerable desire to dig
potatoes bects and carrots. 1t will take dahlla
root out Of the ground in an Incredibly short
period Of time, and dig the hole whence it was
taken to treble its former size. Choice plants
are removed with equal skill and despatch, and
holes dug with unerring certainty. In these
holes the cat is n the habit of rolling itself, 10
order to get rid of the .feas that torment it.
showing beyond doubt that it is of cleanly
habits. 1t recently uncovered an entire hill OF
potatoes in the brief space of half an hour, and
uprooted squash vine The gentleman values
the animal highly, as he believes it to be the
only known specimen of the cat which is pos
ssessed OF these peculiar and valuable instincts,
out as he has had all the digging he desires for
,ae present season, his crops being all In, and
nls house being entirely free from rats, he will
part with the animal on reasonable terms IT
any person too poor to pay its full value desires
The animal, its owner will not be too exacting
on the score of terms; in fact, sooner than not
Part with it to somebody he will give it away,
50 anxious is he that its usefulness shall become
better known. If it is not disposed of within a
week, the gentleman will feel so disgusted with
iae want of appreciation exhibited by thank
iesS community, that he will drown the animal
aua thus place it out of the power of the world

FAILURE OF LITERARY MEN, we'll re-
member the time when Motley came to this
c;ry poor and ambitious author with catch.
nynny novel under his arm looking for pub
Usher. The Harpers got the book out, and
the writer Of this had the pleasure of selling It
behind the counter of Broadway bookstore.
Il was called 'Morton's Hope and, like
many other hopes, proved a severe disappont-
mcnt. Such was Motley beginning in 1889.
Almost every literary man was then failure.
Willis had failure on the Mirror, Greeley had
filled on the New Yorker, Park Benjamin had
faiIed on the New World, Edgar A. Poe was
f,Iure. and so were such lesser lights as NJ NJ.
Nosh, George p. Morris, Charles +. Briggs, !.
G Clark, and other Bohemians of greater or
less degree. Hence Motley failed iu good CON-
nanv, BRYANT was the only editor who was
saving money, though few were making
living which was considered doing we'll. Mr.
MotIeys dime novel is now forgotten, and his
subsequent success shows how much writer
cat improve with study practice. 1t is we'll
known that some of our best authors commenc.
ed in manner so feeble as to afterwards sur
prise themselves. Cooper's first novel Pre-
caution, was failure and is not printed in
the regular edition. The poet Shelley also
published two novels in his youth which are
never seen in his works. Byon's Hours Of
Ideness" is another illustration. Had its au-
thor never written anything else, how quickly
would he have saok into oblivion Even Dick
ems in his early life wrote an opera, to which
he afterwards refused place in bis works
Motley learned that fiction was not his forte,
and hence attempted something Of more value
and importance Greeley also learned at that
time that poetry was not his forte, and there
fore discharged the muse which tends on that
line of business. Greeleys poetry and Mot
ley's fiction show how great oaks from little
acorns,' &c.-Conespondence Troy Times.

PEARL FLOUR AND MEAL.

The of;l from these various articles combined
makes very valuable article Of food for horses
and cows To which the attention of those inter
cstc, is INVITED.
We claim superiority for the Hominy made
upon our Patent Mills for the following rcasons
First. 1t is made from dry corn without hay
ing TO go through the soaking process necessary
in the Old WAY of making hominy for the pur-
pose of removing the husks, which causes it to
begin to spoil from the moment it is thus made.
Whereas our process puts it in u dricr condition
than corn ever is naturally.
Secondly. The same bulk Of our Hominy will
produce fifty pei cent more of the cooked article
than by the wet process, rs ours swclls while
cooking, while the other swell$ while soaking,
before being cooked.
Thirdly. 1t takes half the time to cook. ,.'
FourLhly. II can be shipped with safety from
spelling to any climate, making cheap sub$ti-
tut. for rice and beans.
The above also applies to our Pearl Corn
Grits. The best proof Of the superiority of HON.
my and Grits made upon our Patent Mills is
that they have been adopted by the Army and
Navy of the United States, and approved by alI
who have used them.

OMAHA, July 1.-THE committee appointed
at the meeting Of railroad men Tuesday reported
at subsequent meeting that a citizens commit
tee had been organized Tor the purpose OF assist
ing the authorities to enforce the laws; in case
Of the inability or neglect Of the authorities to
preserve order, the citiZeus committee would
take measures to secure protection TO the lives

that the committee would not be called upon to
interfere but if necessary would act promptly;
that whereas the city is infested with robbers
and gamblers whom the civil authorities have
thus far tailed to arrest and which fact is public,
ly known, to the discredit of the city, they had
bound themselves for the purpose OF sell, pro-
