Curious Mental Freaks,

Lizzie link, lO-year. girl OF
Mount Joy, Lancaster county, Pa,
was discovered to be in comatose
condition the other day while at
school. When she entered the school
room she told playmate that an
old woman had been following her and
was coming in through the keyhole.
The child, with her eyes tightly closed,
cried loudly, "Gey week." the Penn
sylvania Dutch for ego away" When
requested to open her eyes she said
the old woman was holding them shut
with her fingers. Figures were placed
on the black board, and notwithstand-
ing the fact that the girls eyes were
closed, she readily named all of them
correctly. With the same precision
she repeated words which were written
upon the blackboard by the teacher.
All questions were answered without
hesitancy. Letters and figures were
written on the floor with chalk at diff
ferent points. and to the utter amaze.
ment of those present, the girl told in
every instance, both their location
and character. The water can, basin,
bucket and the wearing apparel OF
other children in the school were in
turn held above her head and behind
and in every instance the nature Of
the article was announced without
hesitancy. When Mr.. ODER arrived
she said she was glad to see him,
though her eyes were closed at the
time and no enc had mentioned his
name. She Was taken home and re-
manned in the same condition for six
| hours.

The Meanest Cheat Yet.

From the Mexican County Miner.
A reputable citizen of the county
writes us that not many days ago q
man took load of grain to a. mill in
this county, put his horses in the
mill shed, and gave them half r.
bushel OF oats in the feed boxes. He
then went into the mill, but imme-
diately returned to get bag, but he
heard his horses paving as though
they wanted something to eat. He
went to their heads, and what was
his astonishment to find their oats
all gone.
He then began to investigate, and
found the boxes had q false bottom.
AS soon as the horses put their noses
into the oats it pressed the bottom
of the box down so that the oats would
run through into another box. the bot
tom ofwhich was filled with anger holes.
From last winter the poor horses
that were hauling logs were supposed
to be fed in this shed, and the thief
who robbed the noble animals of
their food ought to be punished.

Neutral Ground.

In the social life OF a village, it is an
excellent thing if one family of infu-
ence disregards all differences among
! neighbors and makes it's parlors neu.
trail ground, where all may meet as
honored guests. For years North.
ampton had this sort OF neutral
ground in the parlors OF Mrs. Judge
Lyman. Her house was noted as the
one mansion in the village the door of
which always opened to any one who
knocked, and where the mistress new
err recognized differences between
neigbbors.
The villagers were early risers, and
did much OF their day work before
breakfast in the Summer time. One
morning Mr.. Lyman was sweeping the
parlors. and an old friend passed with
a basket OF eggs, and stopping for q
chat.
"Mrs. LYMAN" she called out, 81
hear you have invited the $ and the
S to your party. Didn't you know
they didn't speak, and won't it be a
little AWKWARD"
81 don't know anything about peo-
pie who don't speak," was the quick
reply, and she swept more vigorously.
In a few minutes another friend
looked in at the widow, and repeat.
ed the information given by the earli-
ar caller. "They don't speak to one
another" said he, land haven't these
six months"
'"The Lord only knows when they
will, if no one ever gives them a
chance!" she answered, emphasizing
her words with vigorous thrust OF
the broom.
"Mrs. Lyman! Mrs. Lymanl" call
ed out the CHEEKY voice OF a girl on her
way to catch the early mail, and she
too repeated, "they don't speak,"
! Leaving everything, the aroused
woman went to the door, laid her
hand an the girls shoulder and said:
See here c., you are young, very
young, indeed; did you ever hear that
when two countries are at war third
country is always selected, which they
call neutral ground? Now am per-
fectly willing to have my parlors
stand for neutral ground, but you
need not tell any one that said so.
And there's another thing l want to
tell you, that when you have lived as
long as have, you'll find it's a capital
thing to 90 through life deaf and

No Leper.
From the PHILADELPHIA Times.

From the Phlladelpha lines.
- Claus Spreckels, the sugar king, tells
the following story as illustrating the
Intellectual attempts OF the Sandwich
Island authorities to investigate the
origin and trans mission OF leprosy
in that country. There had been a
murder committed by a healthy ma
tive. who was condemned to death. A
German doctor begged the convict's
life from King Kalakaua, on condition
that the convict submit to a course
of experiments.
Consent was given and the man was
severely inoculated with the blood OIL
lepers, without any apparent effect.
At last the German dissected q piece
OF flesh as big as the palm OF his hand
out of the shoulder OF a living lepe1
and sewed it into a wound he made in
a corresponding position on the
shoulder OF his subject. Even this
failed. This was four years ago and
the convict is to-day a healthy man.
They are as yet in complete ignorance
OF the rules governing this dread
disease as when, four years ago, they
commenced the experiment.
