Precisely" said Ida, accommodating
herself to the tender little feet and
rhythmically supplying the context:
There was a old woman,
Tossed up in blanket,
Seventeen times as high as the moon;
What she did there

But in her hand she carried 4 broom

And III be back again by and by"

sensical that day!

ness his mother called every day to
see him, seeming passionately fond
of the child; but after the broken
member had healed, one day the
nurse suggested that the child had
better be taken away. The mother
seemed displeased at this and from
that day to this the woman has
never been seen, though it is now
eight months since it occurred. The
child though II years old, cannot
speak a word. When spoken to he
smiles or chuckes and hangs his
head At times he is very mischieY-
Gus and annoying, tormenting the
other children, throwing dolls and
other playthings at the bird cage or
through the window; then again he
will sit fiat on the floor for hours at
a time and seem to find no end Of
amusement from little stick Of
wood. His face is large but unin-
teligent, his eyes are dull, and that
part of the head which holds the
brain is almost entirely wanting.
His forehead is low and there is a
gentle slope backward to his should
ers. Naturally his appearance is re-
pulsive and one cannot but wonder
why such physique ashis could not
have been given to some OF the other
little unfortunates around him.
Prof. Frederick S. Dennis, profess
sor of surgery in Bellevue College,
proposes to open the cranial cavity
of this child, if the parents can be
found and their consent obtained,
thus giving more room for the brain
to grow. This operation has been
performed very successfully a num-
