Napkins in rings, silver and china were on

the front piazza. One of the Misses Wither-

Tho company was merry and talked volu-

There was cold roast beef, baked pota-

The Speed of Thought.

It takes about two-fifths of a second to
call to mind the country in which well
known town is situated or the language
in which familiar. author wrote. We
can think of the name of the next month
in half the time we need to think of the
name of last month. 1t takes on the
average Of one-third of second to add
numbers containing one digit and half a
second to multiply them. Such expert
ments give us considerable insight into
the mind.
Those used to reckoning can add two
to three in less time than others; those
familiar with literature can remember
more quickly than others that Shake
speare wrote Hamlet" 1t takes longer
to mention month when a season has
been given than to say to what month a
season belongs.
The time taken up in choosing a mo-
ton, the will time" can be measured
as well as the time taken up in perceiv-
ing. If do not know which of two col
ored lights is to be presented, and must
lift my right hand if it be red and my
left If it be blue, L need about one-thir-
tenth of a second to initiate the correct
motion. have also been able to register
the sound waves made in the air by
speaking, and thus have determined that
in order to call up the name belonging to
a printed word I need about one-ninth of
a second, to letter one-sixth of a sec
ond, to picture one-quarter of a second
and to a color one-third of a second.
A letter can be seen more quickly than
a word, but we are so used to reading
aloud that the process has become quite
automatic, and word can be read with
greater ease and in less time than letter
can be named. The same experiments
made on other persons give times differ
ing but little from my own. Mental
processes, however, take place more
slowly in children, in the aged and in
the ducated.-Nineteenth Century.

A Fable.

Once upon a time the Queen of all the
"Flours,n whose name was Imperial, gave
a luncheon to her subjects. When all
were seated at the banquet table some OF
the low grades became envious Of the
queens charms and popularity and cried
out I'VE are as good as Imperial The
royal court messenger, Prince Tally-Ho,
arrived at that moment in his coach and
proclaimed the verdict of the people: I'm
perial is supreme. Long live Imperial"
Then the low bread rebels made rye faces
and said "Our cake is dough; we knead no
more. Long live Imperial" 10 If

Good Words.

Exhibition at school district No. g. Mrs. Summers, teacher.
 This report has been necessarily post poned, but it is "better late than nev- er." It is but justice to Mrs. Sum. mers to say that the progress which the scholars have made has been exceedingly commendable. When it is considered that large majority of this school are Mexican children and that they have to acquire knowledge of the English language while receiv- ing their education, it is a matter ol the highest credit to the teacher and of qualification to the parents to wit ness the proficiency that they have made in their studies.
 The exercises of the exhibition con sisted of songs, recitations and dia logues, and from the "kids" of ol years to the young ladies and gen tlemen, all deported themselves in the highest credit. The selections were good and the performance nearly ol quite perfect.
 It was an exhibition of the develop ing talent of the pupils and patience and assiduity of the teacher. Vel may the patrons of this school con gratulate themselves that they art able to retain one whose services are "above all price" Every dollar i; well invested and well earned and Mrs. Summers is working far better than she knows. Her pupils catct her spirit and will carry it out in a useful life. VISITOR.

Killed an Indian.

The little town of Tempe was the scene of a tragedy yesterday afternoon that, upon the face of the story as re- ceived here, would seem to call for an investigation on the part of the au- thorities.
 As nearly as could be learned. for the details were meagre, the affair ap- pears to have grown out of the stupid ity of an Indian and the recklessness. to give it no milder term, of a white man, whose name has not been learn ed.
 The white man had & drove of horses in one of the two corrals at Tempe, and yesterday shortly after noon went to the corral to drive out the animals. When he reached there he found an Indian standing in front of the gate. and told the red skin to get out of the way. This was before opening the gate, and when it was opened the man again warned the In- dian to get out of the way.
 The redskin still refused to move. and the man proceeded without pay Ing any more attention to the other to drive out the horses. They came out with rush, of course, aud the In,| dian, who could not then get out of the way probably if he had tried, wza trampled to death. The affair will be inyestigated.-Phenix Republican,

A MOST WONDERFUL BABY.
He Becomes a Savant Before He is Four
 Years Old.
St. Louis Republic.

In 1721 there was born at Lnbeck, Germany, one of the most remarkable characters ever known in the history of the world, or perhaps, that will ever be known in all time to come, little Christian Henry Heinecken, who would pronounce every word contain ed in the German language when nine and half months old. When one year of age he knew all the leading events in the worlds history and was as familiar with Pentateuch as most modern professors are supposed to be with their first text book.
 At fourteen months he could give a complete history of every book in both the Old and New Testaments; at two years and six months he could answer any question in geography and an- cient history. He could hold conver- sation with the learned savants in German, French, Latin and Dutch when ending the third year of his life, which terminated few months later by his death in 1725, in the fourth year of his age. In the few short weeks allotted to him Henry was baby, boy, youth, man and grey-beard {; learning more in that short time than many of the worlds greatest per sonages have been able to learn in the years of long life.
 Just little while before his death he was called before the king of Dem mark, who showed the little prodigy every mark of respect. Returning 10 hls native city he set about studying the religions and learning to write, which, added to his other acquire ments, was too much for his delicate health, resulting in his death as above mentioned.
