Somewhere in this country there
live men who are destined to do deeds
Of Individual daring in the war with
Spain: deeds that will make h whole
world ring with admiration. and place
the name of the daring one on the roll
of 18th century heroes. Those who
declare that the days of heroic bravery
in battle are past, must neglect to
read current literature. The cable has
told of the courage and devotion of

ond Time.
From the New York Herald.
Everything was driven from the mind
of the Rev. T. c. Hanna of Southington
when he fell on his head a year ago,
even the all important fact that he was
engaged tn marry a handsome young
woman. she remembered all about il,
of course, but she did not wish to re-
mind him of il. Every one Is happy
now. however, for the re-engagement
of the young mn n the Rev. Mr..
Hanna was announced to-day.
Mr.. Hanna's strange mental condition
attracted the attention of physicians i'm
his native state and in his city. He
was driving along a Connecticut road
last March when he was thrown from
his buggy. He fell upon his head and
was picked up insensible. When he re-
gained consciousness il was found that
his power of memory was entirely gone.
He could not think of the name nat
fitted the article of furniture we call a
chair. Everything about him was
nameless. His intellect was alert n
his mind receptive. but the past vas a
complete blank. He gazed at the pic
lures. books and flowers. He tried to
speak about them. yet the words would
not come.
His friends pointed to the common
things o him m spoke the names
over and over again. Gradually the
words began to attach themselves again
to the objects which surrounded him.
He could say chair" table" sofa -
and point to the things which the
names signifed.
Everybody was glad that the Rev. Mr..
Hanna was coming to his senses. From
nouns he proceeded to verbs. 1t was
not long before his Investigations
brought him to that same old verb
which every beginner in a language
learns first of all. There was something
about II which suggested a previous e
istence. Then one day he saw upon the
street a familiar face.
He asked his friends II they could not
remember. for they reasoned that wher
the man had completely come to hii
senses perhaps ne might have diff
ferent opinions. Besides. what ides
could the word ~'fiancee" convey to {
man who had barely learned again tn
meaning Of single words like chair,
sofa" gas and the like?
IL was amazing after this period Z
witness the progress made by the Rev
r. c. Hanna in the use OF words. II
made the acquaintance of the youni
woman. Once or twice he remarke'
that he thought he had met her before
She said she believed that she had ha

was having his wagons repainted and tnat
he was spending money on woman who
he threatened his wife he would always

The fact that sulphur has been consider

immense quantities Of sulphuric acid.
While the firm has enough sulphur on

pend business, II the embargo continues.
as sulph uric aoid Is Its chief product.
sulphur Is also used by the bleacherie 6
aud rubber works. and while none Of these
have been crippled yet, they have been
compelled to pay a continually fucreasing &
price for 1t. The importers In Providence
say that business In sulphur Is just MS
good as it ever was. despite the incease In
price. What effect future events will have
upon the importation Of sulphur they are
unable TO say.
sulphur comes principally from the
Italian island of Sicily, anu some OF II
from Japan. There are some places In
Virginia where sulphur can be mined,
but up to the present 1t has been deemed
cheaper to import the article.
