Cabby Found Asleep.

a somnolent cabman was enjoying a
comfortable nap on his box, in the Rue
de Metz when an enterprising person
came along, cut the reins, embarrassed
the steed OF the sleeping Jehu, mounted
the animal and tried to gallop it up
the Faubourg Saint Martin. The nag,
however, was almost as sleepy as It's
master, and refused to proceed at a
pace fast enough to enable the street
brigand to get away.
The cabman having been aroused
from his slumbers by q good Samari,
tan who had observed the thief, rubbed
his eyes and tried to ornament his fea-
lures with a feeble smile, which was
accompanied by a muttered maledic-
ton. At length, deeming energy i'm,
peratively necessary. cabby seized
his whip and proceeded biskly after
the disappearing annexer of nags, who
was ultimately conducted to police
station, where he treated the adven-
ture as a pure joke. This species OF
horse play was, however, neither rel
ished by the victimized cabman nor BY
the police, who sent the theft to the
lock up.-London Telegraph.

THE RECORD IN THE BRAIN.
Extraordinary Instances of Word Blind
ness and Word Deafncss.

Extraordinary Instances of Word Blind
ness aud Word Deafness.
All persons are consciously and UNI
consciously lnolding in their brain
cells records innumerable Things
that we reck not of leave their impress
there; stamp comes upon stamp like
the various writings III an old palimp-
sest, in which the lower writings seem
entirely obliterated until they are re.
vealed by the processes of the anti
qualian. So when the vision of the
higher centers is sharpest it can SEQ
through the maze, and it may in
moment decipher the records of life
time; or when the RESTRAINING innu.
ence OF the higher centers has been re.
moved during delirious unconscious
ness, muttered words, broken SEN
tencs, or clearly spoken periods, and
mayhap even acts, give to bystanders
glimpses of the passing visions.
When we are trying to recollect
thing, we are simply searching here
and there among the records in the
brain to see if by chance we can find
the leaf that we want to read What
an index catalogue is to the searchers
in library, that 10 the searcher of
brain records are the laws of associa-
ton; and preciSel y rs purely alpha
betical or ;rbitrary catalogue may as
siSt the student, SO may an artificial
system OF mnemonics assist the brain
deliver. The separateneSs of memory
and consciousness is also illustrated
by some of the extraordinary phenom
eua which are connected with the so
called local memories.
Among the local or isolated mem
Dries the most distinct and sharply cut
is the memory for words The forms
of aphasia known as word blindness
and word deafness are very strange.
The sufferer from word blindness can
write and will understand what is said
TO him; he will talk to You and per
haps talk YOU to death; but hand him
q book, newspaper, or even the let
ter he himself has written, and he can
not read word.
Thus an active man of business hay
ing written a letter, giving directions
for an important matter, attempted TO
read it in order TO see if ii was correct,
but was aStounded to find that he
could not make out a single word; he
had been suddenly stricken with word
blindness. The sounds of the words
and the words themselves had re-
manned to him, but the recollection OF
the written forms of the words was
gone.
In a case of word deafness the per-
son can talk and can write, but, al
though his hearing is perfect, he can
not recognize the spoken words. The
sound of the voice is plain TO his sense,
but conveys no thought to him.

1.-THE UNION FoREvER."-A
blackboard, a piece of chalk, and
M. v. Rork, held forth IN the cir
cult court room this city on last
Monday evening. The last men
toned Of the three claims to be a
representative of the Union party
and is going the rounds of this
country giving his usual sarcastic
talks against the Republican and
Democratic parties-mostly agin'
the former. If you will stop a
minute you will remember that
the prohibition party is defeated
this year; that is, the prohi part.
Somehow or other the same class
that pretended to belong to this
J order at the last election have sud
denly forEaed new word out of
ssprohihition" and now you have
the unaou. That is all. Prof.
Rork is a good enough talker, he
has voice on him like one of the
circus elephants and he uses it to
pull down the republican party
mostly, the bankers of this coun
try, the tariff and protection, and
then claims that the only way to
overcome some of the evils of this
republic is to down class legisla-
ton. He pleased the few persons
In ike audience who claim to think
just as he does, and every now and
then would say something which
would strike the w. G. L. q. peo
pie present just right. He proved
himself straight out-and out
democrat. He complained about
the enormous taxes which are be-
ing imposed upon the people most
all the time-but just minute or
more before he closed his little
speech two hats were passed
through the audience to collect his
tax, asked for what he had said.
In his remarks he made the asser-
ton that there was a "fghting
chance for the union party to elect
its candidate for congress" Yes,
there is a fighting chance-Her-
man will show him how much of
chance there is.

Almost every human malady is con

Burnt Sugar Flavoring.-Put one
tablespoonful brown sugar into a pan;
STIR 1t till it becomes dark as taffy. Add
one cupful of boiling water; let it stand
q minute. Use enough of it to give q
good flavor, and bottle the rest for use
at another time.
Sweet Potato Cakes.-Boil the DO
tatoes until soft, then mash them and
mix with little butter and milk: add
sufficient milk to make it easy to work
into cakes. stir in two unbeaten eggs.
flour the hands and form into cakes and
fry in small quantity of lard.
Chicken Dumplings.-One pint of
flour, one tablespoonful Of baking-pow-
der. mixed with flour; one teaspoonful
OF salt, one egg, we'll beaten: one cupful
OF sweet milk. Mix all we'll together:
check the broth from boiling, and add

room harmonizes, or you can never

thought must be given to that subject
when much of the furniture must be
made at home or bought at odd intervals
when some bargain comes within reach

article because it is cheap, unless you
are sure it is just what is needed in the
place where it must stand.
