AMOahcr Juvenile Prodigy.

The latest edition to the long list Of
Juvenile prodigies, in respect to melnory
and mathematical accuracy, is reported
from Munc. He is, says thu Bangor
Commercial, tho son of former postmaster
Of that place, ard is now teo years of ogc.
lie iu untaught, save ia tho art of rcadipg,
to which ho appears to give moro attention
than wiser parents would allow. His
strong point is memory. He rocollcots not
| only everything that no reads. but eycry-
thing TINT no does, remembers on what dev
hc did it, whero ho was at the time, and
Whit wcrc the circumstances that led him
to do it.
For instance he will tell whcrc he was on
any day within the pas. two years, and
what he was doing. Further, he rcmem-
bers and can tell everything that his friends
have done, providing he has seen them do
it, and oan tell on what dntc md on what
day of tho week they did it.
The FIRST that he friends noticed of his
prccooity was about year ogo, when they
accidentally discovered that he was almost
inialliblo on any date lie had ever seen or
heard. Walking in company with somo
relativca in cemetery it was observed that
he would look at q tombstone, read the date
of tho death recorded, aud the exact agc of
tho person buried there, then glance up
and toll on what day Of the week the dead
person was born. This happened on scvc-
raj occasions, and but little attention was
paid TO it. Finally ono Of his relatives took
pains to look into on old almanac covering
somo of tho datcD he had mentioned, and
found that tho day Of the week had been
given correctly in cvcry instance This
caused them to ask him Gucstione, when it
was discovered that he could almost in.
stantly tell the day of tho week on which
any date within the last rs years fell.
In series of tests made by tho Com.
merc'ol writer, tho boy gavo tho day of
tho week corresponding to largo number
of dates between 1912 and lS40, gavo it
correctly in every instance, ann averaged
five seconds for eaoh test. The longest
time required was eight seconds, the short
eat three seconds. His habits arc described
as "peculiar'
"ile never plays with other boys, but is
continually busy in reading Ortentimes
ne takes an unabridged dctionaryond stadics
fact he takes no comfort unless busying his
brain about something. If there is any
thing he does not understand he keeps at it
until he does understand it, and then it is
next to impossible for him to forget it.
Ono would naturally suppose that child
with such unusual powers would gradually
fail and fade away, but, singulary enough,
he is constantly growing stronger and more
healthy"
It is to bo hoped that the last assertion ia
strictly true, aud that the precooious young.
ster will not exhaust hio brain powor in
infancy. The chances however, arc heavily
against him, His namo is Oh aries Fuller.

Fortifying the Treasury.

The work Of fortifying tho Sub Treasury
Buildings, on Wall, Nassau, and Pine
streets, New York city, goes on rapidly.
Tie windows of the easements and first
floor arc being protected by steel bar graf
ings one and half inches in diameter, nine
feet long at tho lower and eleven feet long
ut the first floor windows, completely cover.
ing the samo from casing to casing. Each
upright bar is pointed at the top; seventeen
uprights nro fastened to each Of tho base
mcnt windows and held in place by four
cross bars. Five cross bars hold in posi-
ton twenty-ono uprights Oh each first floor
window. The cross bars measure three
inches, and aro one inch thick. Fifty-two
windows in Tho building are thus protected.
Each of the cross bars weighs 100 pounds
aggregatiug $4,000 pounds, and tho up
rights average Is pounds to the foot,
making total weight Of over 100000
pounds of highly tempered steel, strong
enough to resist any attempt ot removal.
This grating, when complete, will not only
give protection from without, but allow the
windows to remain open for ventilation.
An additional quarter inch steel pla,e is 10
DO affixed to tho present iron shutters, which
arc to bo pierced for riacs. The loopholcs
are to be protected by coverings Of steel.
The rincmcD, thus protected by the shut
tcrs, can sweep tho streets from tho North,
Wcst and South sides Of the cdi6cc, they
being concealed in bullet proof fortifoa-,
ton. Besides tho loopholcs for rifles,
arrangements have been perfected for
throwing hand grcnades at o mob from tho
windows under tho caves Of the roof, With
out exposing tho throwcrs to ony danger
from tho house tops opposite.
Tho architect of tho Treasury Depart
mont hos added another novel feature Of
defense. 10 ropol On attack which might
DO mado on tho Treasury Building from
the roofs Of tho Assay Office or tho
adjoining buildings owned by tho govern
mcnt on Pine street, there will bo three steel
turrcts built on the roof Of tho Treasury,
in which will bo mounted Gatling guns,
which will have clear sweep of every
house top within range 1t ia expected to
havo tho now fortifioation finished by the
18th Of September. II must be rcmem.-
bored that from 9l50,000,O00 to $780,
900, 900 are constantly in tho vaults Of tho
Sub.Treasury; l'cuco the precautions taken
by tho authorities for tho utmost safety of
this vast treasure. -. Scientific Amcrscan.

Romo Wasn't Built in a Day,

The boy who does a stroke md stops
Will never great man be;
lis tho aggregate Of single drops
That makes tho sea tho sea.
The mountain was not at its birth
a mountain, so to spoak;
The little atoms of sand and oarth
Have made its peak peak.
Not all at once tho morning streams
The gold above tho gray;
'Tis thousand little yellow CLEANS
That makes tho day the dpy.
Not from tho snow drift May awokca
In purple, reds and greens;
Springs whole bright rctinuo it takes
10 make her queen Of queens.
Upon the orchard rain must fall,
And soak from root to root;
And blossoms bloom and fade wthal,
Before tho fruit is fruit.
The farmer needs mast SOW and till,
Aud whit tho wheaton hoad;
Then cradle, thrcsh and 60 to mill,
Before tho bread is brcnd
Swift heels may get tho early shout,
But, spite of all the din,
1t is tho patient holding out
That makes tho winner win
Make this your motto, then, at start,
Twill help to smooth tho way,
And steady up both hand and heart,
"Romo wasn't built in n day!"

Symptoms Of a DiseasedLiver
DYsPErstA AID SICK HEADACHE.

OAIN in the right side, under the
edge Of the ribs, increases on pres.
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss Of appe
tlte and sickness; the bowels in gen
erai are coslivc, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with painful SEN
sation Of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A*slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains Of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains Of prickly sensa,
ton Of the skin; his spirits arc low;
and although he is satisfied that exer,
else would be beneficial 10 him, vet
he can scarcely summon up fortitudc
enough to try it. In fact, lie distrusts
every remedy. Several Of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them cx-
istcd, yet examination Of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

What is Income Tax.

The New York Herald, in reply to con.
temporary, gives birth to the following
opinions on the subject of an income tax:
"What is the income taxi 1t is simply tho
most effective, most direct, most just, most
equitable md most democratic means of
Kissing great revenue eror applied in this
country 1t does no. tax existence, docs
DOT tax labor, does not tex the neccssarics
Of ifo, oni does not impose upon any nai-
yidual burden that it is impossible or
even difficult to bear. 1t raises money
where money is. 1t spares tho poor man
and makes the rich man pay If you want
soldiers, 50 to the people; if you want
money, go to tho millionairce. This is
sound sense Oh two great points of public
policy and tho financial half of that rule is
filed by tho income tax. 1t goes to tho
milionaircs, and it is q tax under which
no millionaire can return bimsclf as pau
per without perjury and without exposing
himself to the scandal and shame Of suit
for the recovery Of unpaid taxes. Suoh q
tax as that, rightly understood by the Dem
ocrats of tho country, would hardly be odi-
Gus in their eyes. As to tho cry that every
law we do not liko is unconstitutional, these
arc the words..of John Marshsll: Let the
end bo legitimate, let it DO within tho scope
Of tho constitution, and all means which
arc appropriate, which arc plainly adapted
to the end. which arc not prohibited, but
consistent with tho letter and spirit of tho
constitution, arc constitutional. ,"
At u campmccting at Bucyrus, Ohio, q
minister prayed tcryontly that one member Of
cyory anti"Christian family in tho country
might be struck dead, SO as to awaken tho
survivors; and tho result was riot in which
| tho tent was torn down and the reverend
J gentlemen severely whipred.
