suppose that careful measurement and

says the New York Herald The cat
referred to lives up in Orleans coun-

her in q box for removal to his sum-
mer home she escaped and took refuge
under q circular outbuilding. There
was only room enough for her to run
under, and there she sat, oblivious to
all threats and entreaties. A stick ten
feet long was procured, but the cat
did not move as 1t was poked at her.

now learning the carpenters trade, and
he will be apprenticed as soon as he
returns home. How has all this been
accomplished? DIR. Bonneville says
that he has not uttered harsh word
to jacques nor punished the boy at
any time for disobedience or trans
gression of discipline. First, there
was a week OF patient observance of
his peculiar form of idiocy and daily
examination OF the malformed organs.
He was treated as at home, fed with
a spoon. conveyed into the garden In

at will and at night carried bed. His
nurse In all details gave him maternal
care. In the case Of Jacques. DR..
bonneville determined that massage,
followed by special gymnastic course

eility was traceable mostly to an inn

manual and pedal lineaments and
other peculiar deformities contracted
before birth and permitted to become
aggravated by ignorant nursing. Elec-
trio and medicated baths were also
nrlGrr1had hn
weeks before Jacques could stretch out
his arms and months before he could
stand up without assistance. AS to
feeding Jacques his fondness for GER
tain delicacies were soon ascertained.
These were finally given to him at cv-
cry meal. but only when he would
reach out his hands for them. Curious
musical instruments attracted the pa
tents attention. The only time when
he was known to smile was when the
doctor would play on his violin.
Jacques soon learned to walk from his
room to the farther end of the garden
II he wanted to see and hear the doc
tor play. After three months JACQUES
led himself. could walk and talk and
dress himself. Then began a slow
course OF gymnastics, while DIR. Bourne
vile left nothing undone to reduce
the abnormal facial formations by
massage and the mental restoration by
the pestalozzian method OF instruction.
The latter method consists in object
lessons. the garden and the streets
and the rooms taking the place OF
books.

Lady Randolph Churchill--or. as she

George lis-West-is by no
means the first lady of prominence to
marry man less than half her own

AS is well known, this clever, hand

man is the mother of a son who Is sew

youthful spouse. 1t Is twenty-six years
since she became the wife of the late
Lord Randolph Churchill, who died in
1895. Nobody who witnessed the we'd
ding could have imagined that she
would take unto herself as a second
husband young man at that time
unborn. At the present time Lady
Randolph is we'll into the forties.
while her husband has not gone far
into his twenties.
The lady SO long famous as Mrs.
Langtry, but whose correct designa-
tion has for some little time been Mrs
Hugo de Battle, is another who has
married as a second husband a man
young enough to be her son. Having
been born so far back as the year 1852,
the Jersey Lily has been charming the
world for fully quarter OF century.
1t was in her twenty-second year
that she was married to her first hus-
band, Major Langtry, who died two
or three years ago. Her present hus-
band, Mr.. Hugo de Battle, son and heir
or Sir Henry de Battle, is now in his
twenty-ninth year. For some time

the receiver with a sender" in an

Hutchinaon at work sending a two
thousand word message. Edison, for
1t was he, grasped pen, and as soon
as the Instrument began to click he
dashed on the copy in a large, round,
legible hand. While deaf to all other
sounds, he could catch the faintest
metallic click. On came the message
faster and faster, twenty, thirty. forty

gathered around, curiosity and then
amazement depicted on their faces.
Page after page was reeled off, with

OF the instrument, the forty-minute
message had been received perfectly
and lay in heap of manuscript on the
table. The young mans triumph was
complete. Hutchinson rushed up and
shook hands with him, and Mr.. Smith
gave nil job on the spot.-Success.
