of New York, Baltimore and Wash

Washington. Some time ago he sud
denly developed the capacity to com
NIT any speech or writing to memory
at a single hearing. His mother was
reading aloud, when her child stopped
her suddenly and asked permission tc
recite what she had been reading. He
started off and repeated correctly the
piece she had read, at the same time
making gestures and modulating his
voice where 1t was required. She
was frightened and ran to inform
some of her neighbors OF what had
happened. Ever since that time the
phenomenon mas remained the same,
and two or three public exhibitions
have been given in Washington. Mas
ter Harry is now only seven years old
He has never received any education
not even learning to read. He
manifests no desire to get book-learn-
ing, apparently satisfied with what he
seems to get by inspiration. His
brother, who is only three and halt
years old, has, 1t is said, developed a
talent for music, which is still more
wonderful than the phenomenal rhet-
orical powers of the elder brother 1t
