AN ILLINOIS PRODIGY.
a 1O-Year-Old hoy who Performs the Of
flee Of a Perpetual Calendar.

hce OF Perpetual Calendar.
Brown county, I'LL, has prodigy in
the shape of 1O-year-old boy with a
talent for days and dates. Roy Oden-
weller, son Of Mr.. S. P. Odenweller.
OF Industry township, is the infant
wonder. Give him any date in any
month Of this year, last year, or next
year and he can at once tell You the
day of the week upon which it falls or
has fallen. For example, ask him on
Sisass ,.ssy' S CO '@-c,< vii. sfe .1s:. e.
October, 1889, fall, and he will prompt
ly answer Thursday which is cor
rect. And so of any date Of last year
OF the year to come. How he arrives
at the solution he does not know.
Numerous gentlemen of undoubted
veracity have repeatedly tested his
strange power. The little fellow is a
bright youngster, but does not exhibit
any unusual precocity beyond this
peculiar gift. He says that beyond
the three years-the current, the last
and the next-he cannot give correct
answers. Next year he will lose all
power over 1888 with which he is now
conversant), and his mind will grasp
that of 1891, of which he now knows
nothing. He has no rule or method,
nor does he know how he arrives at the
true answer, but it is certain that he is
correct when answering.

aMERIGAN H0MEN.

The beauty of the American women,
like that of the men, is due much more to
the animation of the face than to form or
coloring. The average of good looks is
very high, indeed, I do not remember
to have seen one hopelessly plain wo-
man during my six months ramble
through the States. American women
generally enjoy that second youth which
nature bestows also on numbers of
French women. At 40 they bloom out
into more majestic beauty. The eyes
retain their fire and luster, the skin
does not wrinkle, the hands, neck, and
arms remain firm and white. 1t is true
that in America hair turns gray early,
but, so far from detracting the woman's
charms it gives her an air of distinction
and is often positively an attraction

Measurements Of H'o,,.ca.

Certain art and society papers are
raising a Robbery over the measurements
Of the divine form of lovely woman and
discover that her waist is two or three
inches greater in girth after the dress is
removed. OF course it is, and the rea-
son is not difficult to ascertain. In
order to properly hug his best girl the
mans arm must be firmly clasped
around the waist, and naturally the
waist has to be reduced to a size that
will insure the frmness of the aforesaid
clasp. Art is all we'll enough in its
place, but when it comes to good square
hugging and kissing art has got to take
a back seat and keep quiet.-Ne,o York

There is a beautiful English girl not

kind of exercise. The boarders at the
house in which she lives are daily
treated to contests with the gloves be-
tween the rosy checked English girl and
the male boarders. The girl has rosy
cheeks, at which many severe blows
are aimed without reaching home. She
understands all of the difficult "cutsr
that are given in the prize ring, and
says that she would rather see prize

mother won't allow her to 60 to them,

AFTER IN "RETALIA-
TION."

I1ONs'
1 happened to be in Canada during
the fishery and retaliation" talk. There
was no belief that the retaliation threat
ened was more than campaign mea-
sure; it may have chilled the rapport
for the moment, but there was literally no
excitement over it, and the opinion was
general that retaliation as to transporta-
ton would benefit the Canadian railways.
The effect of the moment was that i'm
porters made large foreign orders for
goods to be sent by Halifax that would
otherwise have gone to United States
ports. The fishery question is one that
cannot be treated in the space at our
command. Naturally Canada sees it
from its point of view. To considera-
BILE portion of the maritime provinces
fishing means livelihood, and the view is
that if the United States shares in it we
ought to open our markets to the Cana
dian fishermen. Some indeed, and
these are generally advocates of freer
trade, think that our fishermen ought
to have the right of entering the Cana
dian harbors for bait and shipmen of
their catch, and think also that Canada
would derive an equal benefit from
this; but probably the general feeling
is that these privileges should be COM
pensated by a United States market.
The defence of the treaty in the United
States Senate debate was not the de-
fence of the Canadian government in
many particulars. For instance, it was
said that the "outrages" had been dis
owned as the acts of irresponsible men.
The Canadian defence was that the
"outrages" Shat is, the most conspicu-
Gus of them which appeared in the de-
bate-had been disproved in the invest
igation. Several of them which excited
indignation in the United States, were
declared by Cabinet Minister to have
no foundation in fact, and after proof OF
the falsity of the allegations the COM
plainants were not again heard of. OF
course it is known that no arrangement
made by England can hold that is not
materially beneficial to Canada and the
United States; and believe I state the
best Judgment Of both sides that the
whole fishery question, in the hands Of
sensible representatives of both coun-
tries, upon ascertained facts, could be
settled between Canada and the
United States. Is it not natural that,
with England conducting the negotia-
ton, Canada should appear as a some
what litigating party, bent on securing
all she can get? But whatever the le-
gal rights are, under treaties or the
law of nations, I am sure that the MAX
ing of casats belli of them is as
much felt in Canada as in the United
States. I believe that the Canadians
understand that this attitude is consist
ent with firm maintenance of treaty
or other rights by the United States as
it is by Canada. Charles Dudley War;
qaer, IN Harper's Magazine.
