Making an Idiot Intelligent

Probably the most ostextraordinary surgi-
cal operation on record is reported from
Paris. DIR. Lannelongue. an eminent
sp. cialist i'll the chldren's hospital, has
just succeeded in the effort to give in
telligence to IL loor little idiot. The
child. little girl four years old. had a
deformed head, only about one-tiird the
size of an ordinary little one OF her age.
She never smiled, never took notice of
anything. and she could neither walk nor
stand The doctor became convinced
that the condition of the little creature
was due to that abn II .iai uarrowness of
th. head, which hint.er / the growth of
the brain About the tniGd.e of May last
lie made long and narrow incision in
the left skull and cut a portion out of
the left side of it without injuring the
dura matter. The result of this opera

than a month the child began to walk.
Now she smiles, interests herself in ev-
erything around her. and plays with a
doll A tolerabiy bright child has taken

Captain Ed. NJ. Pace, of Wilson, N.
c., has issued a circular to the plan
ters of Eastern North Carolina in
which he scopes large part of our in
terview with the trade in Oxford, and
which was publihsed in the Journal some
weeks ago. In his circular Captain
Pace attacks the trade of Henderson
and Oxford for palming off on the edi-
tor of the Journal disparaging accounts
Of the new crop and intimates that
sid accounts are reflections upon the
new tobacco crop in Wilson and sur
rounding counties. Now the editor of
the Southern 1'obabcco Journal, has
made it rule to visit Henderson and
Oxford at the beginning of each new
tobacco season in order to get correct
ideas Of the crop, because these markets
are the 6rst in the State to show up the
new crop. He has done this for years
he knows the trade there too well to
allow such an attack to 90 unrebuked.
There are no higher toned gentlemen
in the tobacco trade anywhere than in
Henderson and Oxford, and we know
they are, to man, above reproach on
such charge. Our annual reports OF
the new crop on these markets have
always been accepted as fair and cor.
rect, and have been extensively copied
each year. The editor was not invited
to visit these markets and write dis
paraging reports reports of the crop.
He welt there Of his own accord sought
out the trade and got the information
both by personal inspection Of the
sales. Captain Pace has made a mis-
take which will certainly do himself
and his market more harm than any
one else, and for this we are sorry.
Wilson, as market, is in it's infancy,
and mistakes of this kind will operate
very heavily against it.-Danville To-
b0cco Journal.

A NEW ENGLISH GAME,
Which Beats Croquet and is Becomin
Popular.

Which Heats CrOquet and Is BecominS z
Popular.
A new out Of door game called "the
colors" has been invented by Mrs. \.
Hartshorne, of Bradbourne Hall, near
Derby, England. 1t may be played by
four or eight players. For the four
players the materials for the game are
four sets of five posts painted red, white,
blue, and green. Each player has lit
tie rack Oh which she or he carries eight
rings, two each of the same colors, and
two small flags bearing the letters "R, p"
or IL, signifying right or left. There
are also flags painted black to indicate a
fault. The court should be 60 feet long
by SO feet wide. To arrange the ground
between, the posts are planted in sets Of
five, each post two feet six inches apart
from its neighbor, in a figure which
would form a cross, the first CT starting
set being at one end of the ground, the
end or finishing set at the extreme end
of the court, exactly opposite the start,
and the side sets in the middle of each
side of the court. Each player being
furnished with his complement of eight
rings, which have previously been shaken
up in a bag, two partners stand on each
side of the starting set of posts facing
each other. The whole object of the
game is to get rid of the rings in such a
manner that they retain their proper
sequence On the posts. There is no
throwing or running. The players walk
leisurely from set to set. deposit their
rings if they can, and then walk on to
the next set of posts. One PLAYER may
get rid of ring by placing it on his
partners ring. and any player may play
two rings, following if possible. There
is no hurry or scurry, but there is a GER
tain amount of science in the game, and,
of course. it may be varied in many
ways. 1t may be called the quadrille of
garden games. 1t will never. i'll any
way, interfere with tennis, because it
appeals to totally different people from
tennis players, but there is plenty OF
room for it, and it is certainly prettier
and more interesting than croquet.
thought it seems SO simple. The new
game was played the other afternoon in
the garden of the Inner Temple by
a number of trained players before a
party of specially invited guests. -tPall

The Modern Newspaper = More seriou
influence and Power

The Modern Newspaper More Serious
influence and Power
Nearly twenty years ago, speaking to
the editors of Indiana, l undertook to
demonstrate that the age of imaginative
literature was gone by, and that the
drama and novel, as vehicles of thought
and mirrors of nature, would be sue
ceeded by the newspaper, which, as q
serious influence and power would
henceforth monopolize the higher
functions of both. The suggestion en-.
countered good deal of journalistic
joking. In proof of its correctness,
however, behold the plenitude of the
press, the poverty Of the stage, the
sterility OF romance and poetry, ever
since, and now, within the last two dec
ades, what have we had outside Of the
theatric psychologists of lola, and the
studies in realism of Tourgeneff and
Tolstoi, except, what call "the aero
batic" in this peculiar line; such as the
ingenious tales of Jules Verne and Ryder
Haggard; and Balzac, condensed and
warmed over by Daudet, and all the
methods of all the novelists adapted by
the James and Howells tribe Of photog-
raphers in England and America?
If Tennyson should die, who is there,
deserving the name of poet, to take his
place as laureate? What stage pro-
duction has lasted more than a season
or two, though the theater has had Irv.

manner she said: You wish to speak to
me?'
"'Yes. You are Miss So and Sop
