~ was ever prince in fairy tale. He Is
physically perfect, and mentally nothing
short of marvellous. He Is able TO recall
events in history with as much case as
other children of his age would nursery
stories He is veritable walking ency-
clopedia.
If this be only the possession of won
derful memory the marvel is no less
He sings in childish treble Scotch bal
lads, Of which he is familiar with many,
and rccites from Macbeth" Hamlet"
and Julius Caesar"
He was taken last spring to hear Ysaye
play He listened with profound interest
until the conclusion of the first part of the
concert, when he threw himself back in
his seat and, with look of distress, said
to his mamma; Il am discouraged. l
can't play like that. "
He is of a most devout nature, never
tasting food until n blessing is asked upon
It, and never lying down without first
Isping the Lord 5 Prayer, which he often
follows by an original one, frequently in
rhyme of his composing just at the time
Florizcl has only heard one opera, "Sieg-
fried, but is familiar with the librettos Of
a number He reads them with perfect
ease, and can repeat tho entire story from
memory of any of them that he has read
He has n novel way of entertaining him
self. He will take his violin and surround
himself in Imagination with the old mas
ters for whom he will play. So real is
their presence that he will beg his mamma
not to sit on certain chairs, as she would
sit down on Wagner, Schumann, Schubert,
etc. Again he will make up his audience
from the characters Of some favorite opera,
oftentimes taking the part of somo hero or
heroine himself.
A fair idea Of the prccocity of the child
can be gained from the fact that recently
during visit at the residence of Lyman
j. Gage in the presence of IL number he
was questioned on points in anatomy, his
tory, geography, zoology and the various
sciences. The examination lasted a con-
siderable time, the questions and answers
were taken down by stcnographer, and
it was found that the child hadn't made
single error in his replies. Chicago

In every county of Kentucky you will

IN telling you that for 40 or maybe 30
years they have never voted anything bat
the Democratic ticket. They began per
haps with jackson and have come on down
the line. An old man Of this sort, who
was called Uncle Billy and who was very
close listed, one day saw a group of voters
about Governor Proctor Knott. Uncle
Billy, leaning on his tall staff, edged his
way in and asked TO be introduced He
was formally presented ''as the oldest vot.

cartridge must be uppermost, and when
all Is ready you cork the bottle tightly.
having allowed enough thread to swing
the cartridge clear Of the water.
To explode the cartridge and discharge
your novel cannon you lay the bottle hori-
zontally upon two pencils on the table.
They will act as your gun carriage.
Pretty soon the water will penetrate the
plotting paper plugs and reach the tartaric
acid. Effervescence will at once take place.
and the carbonic acid gas thus generated
will throw the cork from the bottle with
loud report, the cartridge trailing after
1t like rocket
And you will have still further imita-
ton of field artillery in the recoil of the
bottle, which will roll back several inches.
Make this little experiment. 1t is both
pretty and harmless. -Philadelphia Times.
