being graduated from tho medical school
in 1859 Dr.. Agnew practiced for . year
on tho shores Of Lake Superior. now the

York. and being offered the appointment
as surgeon of the Eye and Ear infirmary.
he went to Europe to complete his studies.
Dr.. Agnew returned to America In 1855.
and married tho following year. He held
the position as surgeon TO the New York

when his duties on the United States san.

In 1868 Governor Edwin d. Morgan ap.
pointed DR.. Agnew to be sugeon general
of New York. and at the outbreak Of the
rebellion Governor Morgan appointed him
medical director of tho State Volunteer
hospital In this position he performed
most efficient service. For long time he
had charge Of the important trust Of OBJ
tanning for the regiments passing through
New York state to the seat Of war their
medical supplies. He also did remarkable
work on the sanitary commission. Since
those memorable war days he has been
engaged In the practice Of his profession

HELEN KELLER-AENE ~. SULLIVAN.
as much attention as the famous Laura
Bridgeman. Helen Adams Keller was
born in Tuscuubia eight years ago, the
daughter Of journalist, now United
States marshal Of the Northern district Of
Alabama When the child was about 10
months old she was attacked by an illness
which resulted In the loss Of sight and
hearing. When she had recovered and
the terrible truth of her afiiiction dawned
upon her parents. they tried every medi-
cal aid to effect cure, but without avail.
When Helen was she was placed under
the care Of Miss Anne NJ Sullivan, lady
who had suffered partially as her pupil
had suffered. Under Miss Sulnvan's care
Helen has made rapid progress. Her dis.
position is cheerful, but, like most people
similarly affected. she readily gives way
to fits Of anger; though these paroxysms
are gradually disappearing in proportion
as she learns. Her sense Of touch is mar.
velously acute. She began to learn to
spell by the use Of raised letters, acquir-
Ing the most common names Of things.
and then began to learn the verbs. With
this stock she was taught to describe sit
uations such as "Helen Is In wardrobe"
"box on table" Then came q lesson on
differences. such as "hard" and "soft,"
"lRrge" and "small."

cur,ous Things Abou. Cooks.

A very curious thing about the cooks
that they admit themselves is that . man
who succeeds admirably in ono house may
fall utterly In tho next place he takes. A
thousand influences govern tho matter.
Tho cook may not be In sympathy with
his master or mistress. They may not
like what he thinks he Is best ct making.
or they may limit him In his expenses. or
treat him In way that makes him misor.
able. Then. again. cook may mako o
great reputation In restaurant and fail
In a private house That often happens.
although. Of course. It Is still moro often
the case that chef trained In family scr
vice proves unable TO meet tho rush and
bulk Of the work In q public house. Tho
best cooks In town say that the prime
necessity for success with private families
Is not in the scientific knowledge Of o
cook half so much as In his manners and
address. A dapper. pleasant. smiling.
smooth, clever fellow will often please o
family better than . genius. Curiously
enough, 10 the cooks say, q man who Ii
not liked himself often falls to make his
dishes liked.-New York Sun.

Thomas A. Scott was elected president Of
the Union Pacific Railway company, and
Mr.. Kimbau. who had bcen intimately as.
sociated with him in the service Of the
Pennsylvania company for twelve con.
secutive years. was appointed by Mr..

was first appointed-general passenger

three years he was the general traffic
manager Of the Union Pacific system,
which had grown to vast proportions

ability. such as Mr.. Kmball Is &C.

Of the latter was made general manager.
Mr.. Kimball is very thorough and sys-
tematic railroad man. He Is master Of

standpoint. he has but few equals in this
country. His long connection with tho

which his services are held. Mr.. Kimball

as much news and miscellany In any
