Wonderful Helen Keller.

The marvel of the modern world,
Helen Keller, the blind girl of Ala
bama, whose wonderful progress in
her studies for admission to Radcliffe
College have attracted the the atten-
ton and aroused the admiration of the
| wise men of the world, has just cele-
brated her seventeenth birthday by
beginning her preliminary examina-
ton. She was seventeen years old
last Sunday, and she stood her first
examination Friday.
Miss Keller has been studying in a
preparatory school at Cambridge since
last fall. Her instruction in Latin,
German, French, history and geogra-
ply has not been specially difficult
since the great improvement in books
for the blind. Her text books look
like the big Office books in use in
counting rooms. The raised letters
she can read as rapidly as if she could
see, and the Brayl system, where a
cipher consisting of dots and dashes
takes the place of letters can be read
even more rapidly, because the matter
is more condensed.
Books that have never been trans
lated for the blind, Miss Keller still
reads-not by sight as do the deaf
mutes, nor by listening to others, as
do the blind who can hear. She sim
ply places her hand we the fingers Of
one who is reading by using the sign
language for the deaf, and catches
every word. In this way she has
covered the whole range of her pre-
paratory studies. For her arithmetic
q special slate was invented, and she
has become an accurate and ready
worker in mathematics.
Miss Keller has been provided with
a planetarium, upon which she can
feel the positions of the heavenly
bodies, and has gained a clear idea of
their relations to each other. ..
The whole world will watch the
progress of this wonderful girls ex-
animation for entrance to Radcliffe
College, on which the hope Of her life
is staked. In studying these examin-
atoms the papers are read to her and
she writes the answers on a type
writer. Fer intelligence is prefer
naturally keen, her enthusiasm in
domitable and her ambition boundless.
Many thousands who do not know her
will pray that she may succeed.-At-

Mental Maladies.

Within tle memory of living men
there wefs physicians who held the
theory that mental disorders were in
the majority of cases nothing more or
less than viciousness, ugliness, or, to
use their favorite expression, "pure dew
ilishness. The logical sequence of this
line of reasoning was that the infirmity
was something TO be eradicated by chas.
tisement given in allopathic doses.
More than one sufferer has been merci-
lessly whipped and many another has
been chained and starved with the view
to exercise the evil spirit that was pop
ularly supposed to be the cause of all
the trouble. The starvation part of all
the treatment might have given favor
able results, as extreme reduction OF the
physical system often removes the clouds
from the mental, but cruelty or brutal
ity is the worst possible remedy for af-
fiictions of this nature, simply aggra-
waiting and increasing them without the
faintest hope of benefit. Disturbances OF
the psychic half of the human econo-
my are even more numerous and impor'
tant than those affecting the physical
and material.
One of the misfortunes of patients
who suffer from mental disorders is the
lack of appreciation of the grave nature
of their disease. Even eminent medical
men, especially those who are them
selves in the enjoyment of robust health,
find it difficult to appreciate the more
delicate phases of nervous distress.
Merely nervous attack means great
deal more than the average person is
capable of understanding The horrors
that cluster around even the mildei
forms of insanity are such that the
merest shadow of mental disturbance
demands the most thorough and intel
ligent treatment. Ministering to mint

The Winding Up of an Englishman.

1t was shrewd observation of one OF
the keenest critics of the Anglo-Saxon
mind that ever lived, Cardinal New
man, that it takes an immense time to
wind up an Englishman to the level OF
q dogma-that is to say, to get him to
understand what a dogma is, what 1t
involves, what it necessarily asserts
and what it unavoidably denies. Often
when, after great toll, with pulleys and
hoists, announcements in front and
goads behind. the Englishman's bullet
head slowly appears almost on the level
of the ground, something goes wrong
somewhere, and down he falls to the
very bottom of the pit, and the work
of winding him up has to be begun all
over again. THE Law of Employers, !"

Make stock solution of 10 grains OF

cents) and Z = ounces water and satu-
rated solution of bicarbonate of soda.
A saturated solution is liquid which
contains little more of the substance
placed in it than it can dissolve and is
shown by deposit at the bottom of the
bottle or vessel in which it is placed.
Mark the bottle containing the gold
"Gold Solution. and the bottle con-
tanning the soda Bicarbonate of Soda
Solution 4" To make the toning bath
take one-half ounce of the gold solution
and add = ounces of water. Dip q
piece of blue litmus paper into the solu-
ton, and if it does not turn the paper
red add little more of the gold. Then
put in enough of the bicarbonate of soda
solution to turn the litmus paper back
to blue. The soda should be added few
drops at q time and the mixture stirred
