Speech and Intellect.

A man who has, by disease or injury
lost the faculty Of talking is generally
also unable to write, and it is only il
exceptional cases that one of these func
tions persists while the other is in abey
ance.
Cases of this latter kind show, how
ever, that there are really two separate
centers for the two faculties which are
lying very close together, and therefore
generally suffer at the same time. II
the disease affecting them be still more
extensive. the faculty Of intelligent
pantomime or gesticulation is likewise
abolished.
Persons who have entirely lost their
language may still be able to play chess,
backgammon and whist, and they have
been observed to cheat at cards with
some ingenuity. They may also be sharp
in business matters-facts tending to
show that speech and intellect do not
run in identical grooves. London Tele-

LANsINGs, Mich, Jan. 1.-THE annual
er of railroads, says that during the year
1895 there was constructed in Michigan
ninety miles of new road and that
there was approved fifteen maps of new
lines, representing total of 2O7 miles
During the year two roads were taken
from the hands of the receivers. after be-
ing sold on mortgages, and the companies
reorganized. A receiver was appointed
for but one road There are 1855 miles of
track operated in Michigan. Eighty
companies, an increase Of two, filed re-
parts for the year.
OF this number, sixty-nine do a general
railroad business seven are used for the
transportation of fore st and mining
products exclusively, while two provide
transfer and two terminal facilities Com
missioner Billings says that the private
mining and logging roads invariably es-
cape railway taxation owing to the fact
that they are subject to taxation the same
as other property, and the recommenda-
ton is made that all private roads be
placed under the general railroad law, and
be required to pay specific tax and be
amenable to tho police regulations en-
acted for the protection of railroad en-
ployes.
The reports filed with the commissioner
show that not single passenger was
killed during the year by a railroad acct
dent. but two met death through their
own negligence. The report condemns
the law requiring companies to sell 1000
mile tickets for two thirds the fare ordi-
narily charged. denouncing this provision
as one whlch requires discrimination in

ton is made that the laws be amended so
as to require each road or class of roads
