and this knowledge will make her

and this knowledge will make her
weep bitterly.
Mr.. Anagnos says that her wonder
full faculties are matters beyond us.
The ideas of death and burial had
never been communicated to her {;
but taken into a cemetery on account
of some beautiful flowers there, she
grew pale and grave, and put her
little hand upon her teachers eyes
and her mothers and spelled out
"cry, cry" and her own eyes filled
with tears. Her teacher says that
one day when her brother was COM
ing toward them, as they were walk
ing, Helen knew it, spelled his name
repeatedly, and started in the right
direction to meet him; and that she
gives the names of people she meets
walking or riding as soon as their
presence is recognized and that often
when she is about to make known
some plan the child will anticipate
her and spell out the very plan
about to be unfolded. Whether this
be the action of some sharpened sense
already known to us and named, OF
the awaking and working of some
sense not recognized and named, is
interesting matter for study.

Advice to a Young Editor.

Let me tell you how 1 write mean
letters and bitter editorials, my boy.
Sometimes, when a man has pitched
into me and "cut me up rough" and
/ want to pulverize him and wear his
CORY scalp at my girdle, and hang his
hide on my fence, l write the letter
or editorial that is to do the business.
I write something that will drive
sleep from his eyes and peace from
his soul for six weeks. Oh, / do hold
him over slow fire and roast him.
Gall and aquafortis drip from my
blistering pen, Then don't mail
the letter, and l don't print the edi-
torial. There's always plenty of time
to cruelty man. The vilest criminal
is entitled to little reprieve. 1 put
the manuscript away in a drawer.
Next day look at it. The ink is
cold; read it over and say 81 don't
know about this. There's a good
deal of bludgeon and bowie-knift
journalism in that. I'll hold it over
day longer" The next day read
it again. laugh and say, "Pshawp'
and l can feel my cheeks getting q
little hot. The fact is, / am ashamed
that / ever wrote, and hope that no
body has seen it, and / have half for
gotten the article or letter that filled
my soul with rage. 1 have not beer
hurt, have not hurt anybody, and
the world goes right along, making
twenty-four hours day as usual, ant
am all the happier. Try it, my
boy. Put off your bitter remarks I'm
til tomorrow. Then, when you try
to say them deliberately, you'll fine
that you have forgotten them, anC
ten years later, ah! how glad YOU
will be that you did. BE good-natur
ed, my boy. BE loving and gent,
with the world and you will b.
amazed to see how dearly and tender
ly the worried, tired, harassed OLE
world loves you.-Bob Burdette.

A Newspaper Mans Experience.

He is prominent newspaper man
and parts his hair in the middle. The
part is over five inches wide, which
gives him an innocent cast of counte-
nance. To those who knew him not,
he might be considered verdant in
appearance. He was riding in
sleeper on the Central Pacific railroad,
and fell into an innocent little game
of pedro with a colonel, a professor
and doctor. During an animated
conversation and a quiet deal, three
aces were thrown on his side of the
table, after which one of the three
gayly remarked, with the greatest of

Books.
Country Gentleman.

Country Gentleman.
A person who has great respect for
books considered as an ornamental
portion Of the furniture, will have his
books bound and arranged in prim
rows on the shelves, or in stiff piles
on the table. If you open one you
will find no special page more worn
than another, nor any pencil marks.
The next house, perhaps, does not
contain so many books, neither are
they in near so excellent state of
preservation, some of the bindings
being discolored by sunlight, or worn
by handling, and here and there be-
tween the pages are little slips of pa
per, or brackets enclosing special
lines.
Which do you think holds the true
book-lover.

THE SOUTHERN SOLDIER BOY
BY GATHER RYAN.

BY FATHER RYAN.
Young as the youngest who donned the
gray,
True as the truest who wore it,
Brave as the bravest, he marched away,
(Hot tears on the cheeks of his mother
lay
Triumphant waved our flag one day,
He fell in the front before it.
Firm as the firmest, where duty led,
He hurried without falter;
Bold as the boldest, he fought and bled,
And the blood of his fresh young heart was
shed,
On his country's hallowed alter.
On the trampled breast of the battle
plain,
Where the foremost ranks had wrestled,
ION his pale, pure face, not mark of
pain,
His mother dreams they will meet again.,
The fairest form amid all the slain,
Like child asleep-he nestled.
In the solemn shades of woods that swept,
The field where his comrades found him,
They buried him there-and the hot tears
crept
Into strong mems eyes that had seldom
wept
His mother, God pity her, smiled and
slept
Dreaming her arms were around him.
4 grave in the heart of his mother
A clay in one lies lfeless and lone
There is not u name, there is not stone
And only the voice of the wind maketh
moan
or the grave where never a flower is
strewn,
But his MEMORY LIVES in the other.

Blind, Deaf and Dumb.

Sallie Joy White, in July Wide Awake.
On the first of March, 1887, Miss
Sullivan began her duties as teacher
to the little pupil, who was destined,
under her training, to become so
great a wonder that scientific men
from Europe, as well as of this
country, would study her as real
intellectual phenomenon.
Miss Sullivan found her a bright,
well-grown girl of nearly seven years
of age, with clear complexion, and
pretty brown hair. She was quick
and graceful, with a merry laugh,
and fond of romping, with other
children. You wonder, don't you,
how she can run about and play?
Well, she will play "tag," and have
as great frolic about it as any child
you ever saw. She feels the vibra-
tions of the ground by her feet, and
so knows just which way to go, and
what to avoid. Indeed her sense of
movement is very acute, and she
tells often about going to church "to
hear the organ play" She knows
when it is being played, in the same
way that she can tell which way to
run in the game of "tag." The floor
vibrates and that conveys to her the
knowledge of what is being done. 1t
cannot be possible that she gets any
real idea of sound in this way,
although she must get the rhythmic
flow of the music. How much she is
able to realize of its beauty and har-
mOny we never will know but there
must be some charm about it, for she
is very fond of it.
Would you think that without the
ability to hear the music or to sec
the steps, that she could learn tC
dance? Itdoesn't seem possible, doe;
it? And yet she has learned, she
was taught by one of her little com
paniOns who love her very dearly
She likes always to do what the othel
children do, and as they were dane
ing one day she wanted to join them
The little friend took her hand and
tried to make her keep time with he
in the step. But she could no
manage it. Suddenly, as swift a
thought, for, with this wonderful
child, to think and to act ART
Simultaneous, she slid to the floor
and motioning the little girl to go OF
with her dancing, she felt the motion
Of her feet and the bending of the
knee. Ina moment she was on he
feet again, dancing merrily; she hat
caught the very spirit of the motion
through her little fingers. And nov
dancing is favorite diversion.

Our readers have doubtless often
noticed that Hoods Sarsaparilla is
well spoken of in the newspapers.
The press is quick to recognize merit,
and does not hesitate to give praise
where it is due. The following is
from the Baptist Weekly, a leading
religious paper:
advertising may bring an article
prominently before the public, but
no advertising can long help it if it
has not real merit. Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is well advertised; but the best
proof Of its value is that so many
persons use it on the recommendations
Of friends who have proved its
peculiar yirtues.n

Luxuriant Hair

that it cleanses the SCALP, promotes the

falling out, and gives it that soft and

 The great merit of the Cyclopedia is it's adaptation to practical use; giving under each proper head the information most likely to be needed, and in concise, easily available form. Careful examina- tion impresses one with its accuracy, as we'll as the remarka ble fullness of it's in formation. For actual use it abundantly answers the nee ds of all save those WI ose pursuits require exhaustive study of cer- tain subjects. The combination of Una bridged Dictionary and Cyclopedia is a wonderful convenience. Each volume, as 1t comes to the readers hands invar- iably renews the surprise felt that book so well got ur can be afforded for price so low. Whoever wants Cyclopedia- and who does not?- would do well to or der at least a specimen volume, which may be returned if not wanted. Re duced prices are offered to early sub~ scribers for complete sets, which are to consist of 30 or more volumes, the vol umes being issued at int ervals of about a month. The work is not sold either by agents or by booksellers, but only by the publisher direct, which in some measur e accounts for the wonderfully low prices. John B.

Sr. Jesus Otero, left at the Herald office to-day an ancient Spanish medal which must have been brought into the country by some of the earliest explorers. He has just returned from Florence where he obtained 1t from man named Chino Arviso who found 1t on the plains near the Picacho mountain which stands on the old stage route between Florence and Tucson. The medal is a sort of brass alloy of an oval shape on one end of which is rude eye which has been used for fastening the medal to ribbon or something of that sort. The medal is about one-sixteenth of an inch thick with engraved figures on each side, one of which appears to be monk kneeling be- fore cross and the other is apparently a figure in half standing position with eyes turned upward. There seems also to have been some sort of an inscription on one side but the whole thing is greatly worn, though very little corroded, and must be very old. The eye has been worn almost through till now at one point it is as thin as sheet of paper while formerly it mnst have been at least a sixteenth of an inch thick judging from the sides of the eye. It is certainly a medallion of great interest.--Phepiz Herald.
