Strangely RESTORED Faculties.

people of the Holly neighborhood in
Webster County, w. Va. Abraham Me-
Masters has long hccn Il wel-known
citizen Of that section. His family CON
sisted of five children, two girls and three
boys, all in perfect health except the
youngest, hoy of seventeen, whose mind
had been affected from birth. He was
what is in provincial sections known MS
simple. With the greatest difficulty he
had been taught to read, and by years of
laborious application had learned what
most children of five years know. Ho
was harmless, good natured and in
dustrious. Early last fall the boy was
sent to mill. Not returning at the en-
pected hour, nor for some time later,
search was instituted and the imbecilc
was found unconscious by the roadway.
Blood ooZcd from his nose and cars, and
his head appeared to have been struck,by
some blunt instrument. a cheap watch
and some change the lad had were gone,
giving evidence that the boy had been
assaulted and robbed He was taken
home and remained unconscious for two
weeks. AT the end of that time the boy
became as a newborn child. His eyes
rolled, and he had no control over his
limbs and was cared for just as an infant
In time his teeth came out and he is now
cutting new set just as baby. He
first crawled, then began to walk.
Speech came gradually, ms with all in
fants, though much earlier, if his age
can be measured from the time of his in
t,nrx 10 6 IL
four ear-old does, his mind is clear, and
ne is everything except stature of boy
OF four or five years. So far as can be
learned he has no recollection of his past
life, and scenes he knew well then are
now unfamiliar to him He treats his
former playmates as strangers, and plays
with toys and wooden horses MS do the
bnbics of the neighborhood. Physicians
say he will grow into an intelligent,
healthy man. Chicago Times.

Balloon Adventures in the Clouds.

more of an obstacle, and in short time
will accumulate upon the top of the
balloon sufficiently to drive it to the
earth.
The clouds are sometimes as much rs
3oOO feet from top to bottom when the
sky is entirely overcast. Often even above
such body of cloud may be seen smaller
clouds with clear spaces in between.
When within one of these spaces the

A FEW HINTS ON sour

Soup should form II part of the daily
fare of every dinner table, and, il care
fully made, will cost nothing, or but
iriIlc The water in which beans, 'caui-
Hover, rice, celery, or onions are boiled
should always be kept TO make the
foundation of pnrccs and soups. Every
kind of liquid which hns extracted the
ilnvor of vegetable or animal matter is
too valuable to waste. They may be
thickcncd and favored for dinner soups.
For example, when beans or rice is boiled
FOR dinner, brown two ounces of butter,
add two tablcspoonfuls Of flour, brown
again, and add the strained rice or bean
water Zone quartz stir continually until ID
boils, season with salt and pepper, take
from. tho fire and stir in hastily we'll
beaten egg. Or suppose there is cupNpf-
mashed potatoes orr thrnip, or II very
little chicken left over, rub them through
PURGE sieve, blend with milk, or stock,
or both, thicken with butter or flour, and
season with bay leaf salt, pepper and
little onion Juice. A quart and pint
will serve six persons, when the soup is
only part of the dinner.
Meat soups, such MS boullon and con-
sohiinc nrc TOO expensive Tor ordinary
fnmily use, but MI white or cream soups
can appear on the list Cream or fish,
cauliilower, rice, Turkish, tomato, dried
pea, clam, cnrrot, lcntil, etc, are also
good.
Take the bones left from roasts and
steaks, cover them with cold water, add
mn onion, sliced, and n bay leaf, and sim
mcr for ono or two hours strnin scosop
and add the beaten yolks of two eggs,
and you will have simple and ncxpen-
sivc Turkish soup.
All of these soups should DO made at
cost Of from five to twelve cents per din
ncr, allowing one and n half quarts to six
persons, which is nh unusually large por-
ton. Give variety to your seasons. For
instance, If you use onions one day, use
celery the ncxt.-Earm, BieM and Stock

A VERY PARTICULAR QUEEN.

Queen Victoria is very particular in
deed in small matters of detail in dress.
This was realized recently by n Duchess
who wore gloves Of deep shade of tan
to match her dress and was obliged to
send from the palace itself for n white
pair. Of the two bodices "approvcd"
the demi-toict is the pretticr That seen
by the Queen is of sivcry-griy popln,
with n folded fichu of lace and open
hcart-shapcd. The other is of bronze
green velvet, the lace rufilcs being n
pretty cream color. The vest, or stom-
acher, is of gathered cream colorcd satin,
studded with pearls. Minor matters,
such rs trimming, are subject to altera-
ton. 1t is simply the regulations that
The collar is high Mt the back, and vet
close in, and not very high, like the
Nledici collar; the sleeves also close and
to the elbow, and the opening in front
very small, that are fixed and unaltcrablc.
1t is, therefore, now impossible to wear
n bodice which covers n neck and shout
ders not quite MS shapcly as might be, and
yet show pair of fmltlcss arms. 1t is II
case OF NIL or none, and the mere matter
OF bacomingness is no more considered
than i'll the uniform of a regiment.

ROMANCE OF A nEruTnu v.1Thu.

The death of Mrs. Morris II. Floyd is
reported from Caredon County, s. c..
About sixty years ago she was engaged to
lie married to Mr.. Floyd, but the match
was opposed by her parents, who about
this time moved from South Carolina to
Alabama, taking her with them. Soon
after reaching her new home she started
on foot to go back to her lover. While
on her way through then wilderness she
was captured by the Cherokee Indians,
and was held prisoner until released by
united States troops six months later.
She continued her journey on foot, and
in year after leaving Alabama she
reached her old home and married her
lover. She learned from the Indians
their art of compromising herbs, and
pmctiscd it among her neighbors. She
was IN oracle on dreams, charms and
witchcraft.-Nc'o York .Sun.

a MESSAGE.

=
Ger the great gray breast of the restless sea
A breeze is signing;
Not the breeze should sigh, for the breeze is
free
Free DER the ocean flying.
IT'S ! should sigh by tho great gray sea
While the days a-waning.
VIM the breeze not carry n sigh for me
Soft as it goes complaining?
If a breath crept close and then kissed your
face
As with tender greeting,
Would you guess and know through the wide
fresh space
Whence came the voice entreating?
Would you hear over there by your great gray
sea
What the wind was saying,
Understand the tale in that whispering plea,
Know what the prayer was prayings
Ah, the breeze comes back with the fair gray
Ger gray sea stealing,
And the sun greets sea with fire new born
Strong for my faint hearts healing.
And know you said some word to the breeze,
Some word love-mcaning,
For it kissed me n kiss from the cool soft seas
Sweet us their tender sheening.

Crops In Europc.

The abundance or scarcity of the crops
in. countries with which we have close
commercial relations, affecting as it does
the demand for our own productions, is
always II matter of great interest. From
a.report for Great Britain and Ireland it
is learned that the past year was remark
able for its agreeable disappointments in
its expected results. Succeeding the en-
tire unfavorable season from January to
September, with its wet July and August,
q genial harvesting time came to the res
cue in September and October, and so
changed the whole situation that 1888 is
now looked back upon with some satis-
faction by the British farmer. Larger
crops have been secured than he dared to
hopo for, and higher prices for grain,
sheep and cattle have been realized.
In Ireland there has been an increase
in all the principal crops except potatoes,
which shows decrease. In France mild
and rainy weather has lately followed
period of frost. All the autumn some
cereals are looking well, and the land is
being prepared under excellent condi-
tons for the spring sowings. Franco
continues to show large importations of
wheat and flour, as well as other agricul-
tural products, though the American i'm
ports were less than half of those Of
1887, Russia and Roumania supplying
our deficiency.-New York World.

There is nothing likcgit, It Is said in this
country, and it is not hard to believe thst
this Is so. Art and nature together have
combined to produce results that seemed
little short of marvellous in some places.
Hester had already told me some of the
story of the place, and the squire told me
much more that there is not time to set
down here. He pointed with especial
PRIDE to the immense cranberry bog that
we could see just beyond the old French
burying ground, and told ME it had paid
the expenses of both his boys through
college, and that his daughter had estab-
iished cranbury fund, as she called it,
now, SO the proceeds yearly shall go to
help some poor student. was sorry not
to meet the accomplished daughter of the
good squire and his lady, as had hoped
to do, but she was away from home,
lecturing. DR.. Hester said it was
astonishing to see what improvements
sanitary science had brought about
through the dominion, and all primarily
due to the pioneer teaching and writing
and lecturing of Professor Outhet, as
Belle is called. The oldest son is
associated with his sister now, and tic
second boy is proud to call himself
scientific farmer.--Ludies' Home Com

uEALrrpuLNEss OF nnEAp.

Much is said about brown bread being
tho better, whereas the most we buy IS
brown, because little bran has been
mixed with poor flour and sweetenod
with molasscs. Even if made from good
material it is now possible by improved
methods of milling to remove the hull so
thinly us not to remove the oil or phos-
phnte beneath it.
We arc told that hot bread is un-
healthy; whereas that depends entirely
on circumstances. II is chiefly so be-
cause, if not mostly crust, thensitio part
is not so likely to be well chcwed. Hot
bread or biscuit, properly made and
properly chewed, agrees with many per-
sons who do not so readily digest stale
bread.
Pic crust is universally condemned. To
many it is indigcstiblc, because tho fat
worked into il is not easily separated by
the stomach. Yet good pic crust, prop
orly made, is well digestcd by good,
healthy stomachs. We recently lave read
some articles on foods in paper of wide
circulation in which, amid many good
suggestions, we nrc told never to drink
ut meals, and that nuts should be eaten
because they arc full of oil.-Mdepcndent.
