occasionally prodigious under the
influence Of the dominating impulse
that moves them. There is an in
stance of a poor and illiterate basket
maker, who was unable to read OF

would preach fluent sermons, which
we're afterward recognized as hav-
ing formed portions Of discourses he
was accustomed to hear in the par
ish church as child more than 40
years before. Quite as strange q
case of unconscious memory" Is
referred to by DR.. Aberorombie. A
girl given to sleepwalking was In
the habit of initiating the violin
with her lips giving the preliminary
tuning and scraping and flourishing

A Keen Purchsser.

The younger portion Of the pres
ent generation may not remember
the old fashioned silver coin, once
so plenty in the United States, Of
the value of 1216 cents. In New Eng
land it was called a "ninepence," in
New York shilling" and it bore
other names in other sections Of the
country.
One day tall, lank, towheaded
specimen Of humanity from the
Mote mountain district entered
Sam Thom's store in Conway, N. 81.
He looked around for awhile upon
the tempting things displayed and
finally drew from his pocket a bat
tered ninepence, which he clutohed
with an evident determination not
to part with it recklessly.
"say, mister" he said, pointing
to box of lozenges upon the coun-
ter, chow much d ye ask for themi"
"Two cents roll" was the re-
ply.
"Waal, I'll hev a roll. What do
ye ask for them applesa"
1.-TWO for cent"
"Waal, let's see-I'll hev one Of
'em; that'll be half a cent, and the
lozengers 2 cents-jest az cents.
Ye ken take it aout Of this ERE
ninepence and give me back 10
cents"
Mr.. Thom could not refuse. The
story to tell was worth more than
it cost by far.-New York Ledger.
