WaIes ano the Inotan cbtet.

The Prince of Wales receives many peculiar, humo-
rous and pathetic letters of appeal. One of the odd
est of these appeals came from the Wabigoon Lake
Indian reserve, in Canada, some years ago, when, the
regulations being less strict than now, a party of
white men, regardless of treaties, were p~oaching upon
the preserves of the Indians.
The red men resented this, and the chief dispatched
the following cable message:
To the Prince of Wales, London, England:
White men cutting timber on Eagle Lake. Would you
kindly come and settle the matter? This was given to us.
Please advise. D."

to her, might be impaired if she were to do anythin g
to weaken the demands upon it.
What such a memory can do is we'll illustrated in
the case of a tailor of this city who cannot read or
write. He is probably the most widely known man
in his business here, as for many years he has done
business with New York's fremen and policemen.
Almost every man of these two bodies has dealings
with this tailor, and each month, between the first
and the tenth days, he visits every station house and
engine and truck house in the city to collect his dues.
He has acquired considerable wealth, and it is said of
him that in all the years he has dealt with the firemen
and policemen he never was known to make a mis-
take of a cent in any mans account, although all his
records of transactions have been kept in his head

Zerah Colburn, born in 1904, was the most re-
markable natural mathematician ever known. He
was able to raise eight to the sixteenth power, this
comprising fifteen figures, and was right in every par
ticular. Once he was requested to name the factors
which produced the number 247,433 and immedi-
ately gave the correct answer He was asked the
square root Of LOG, 939, al d before the figures could
be written down he gave the answer.

She's WeH Eoucateo.

The wonderful development of certain faculties in
the cases of persons who have lost the use of some
of their natural functions, or of others whose facul-
ties have not been fully developed, has long been a
matter of remark, but it is not al ne the outside
for the benefit Of the unfortunates. The sufferers
instances, after years, grow to depend so much upon
their acquired faculties as to be afraid of a change,
even if they have a chance of one.
An illustration of this is given by a woman in
Brooklyn who never has learned to read or write.
In 10 way could one discover this except by her own
admission or by putting her to a direct test, for she
is one of the best educated women in the country,
conversant with languages, art, literature and all
the current topics of the day. She is rich, too, and
could afford all the services of the best teachers if
she but chose to learn to read, but she refuses
to do so.
When this woman was a child, her parents lived
far from schools, SO she had no chance then to learn
to read or write. AS a mere child she began to earn
her own living, and again the chance for schooling
slipped away. Then she married and the cares of a
family took up her time. BY the time the babies
were off her hands, her husband had grown rich, and
then she began her real education, and now, as a
widow, she continues it. Her companions read to
her and talked with her about all the topics which
interest her. Years of such work have stored her
mind with a rich tr, assure of knowledge, and there is
not a page of a book that has been read to her that
she is not familiar with. Her stores of kno Wedge
are at her instant command. Why will she not learn
to read? Because she says, she fears that this won

Wars3awtaR's Captive.

Joseph Shapiro obtained a verdict of 500 before
Justice Schuchman of the New York city court against
Herman Warszawiak tor alleghed false imprisonment
and assault. The defendant renowned Judaism and
be gan preaching in the Church of the Sea and Land,
a Presbyterian church at Market and Henry streets.
A number of the members of his old congregation
went to hear him preach in his new church, but he
had a dispute with the Rev. DR.. Schauff1er as to the;
number of Jews who went to hear him.
In order to give DR.. Schauf1er optical evidence,
the defendant had the gates of the Church of the Sea
and Land locked on May 25, 1895, when the congre-
cation began to emerge, and a large camera was
planted across the street to take the congregation
when they had all got outside the church. The Jews
became FESTIVE when they saw the camera, as it was
understood many had gone to that church out of
curiosity and had no desire to have themselves fixed
in a photograph as converts. The plaintiff was one
of those who tried to make his escape before his
picture could be taken. He got on a high picket fence,
but he was seized by one of the ushers of the church
and fell, breaking his leg, which was caught in the
pickets.-N. Y. Sun.
