professors of practical politics in the

platter to the Convention, and are told
that they must accept Cleveland or the

THREE years ago young lady of Fall
River was hit on the left side of her
head by falling sign as she was walk
ing along a street in Boston. This was
followed by brain fever. After SON
weeks she was as well in mind and body
as ever, but from right-handed person
she had become so left-handed that she
could neither cut, sew nor write with
her right hand, but found it easy to do
all these with her left. Her right hand
was about as useful as her left had been
before she was hurt. What is strange is
that with so recent a change in the use
of her hands, she never makes an awk-
ward motion, and is as graceful in the
use of her hand as if she had been born
ieft-hanGed.
