Herb Farms,

There are several kinds Of farms,
profitable ones, too, Of which little
mention Is made to the public. Many
herbs are grown on farms devoted to
them, and they are a product not over
done by growers. In New York are
acres devoted to the growth Of pepper
mint. In Illinois are farms where the
castor bean is raised for the castor oil
that 1t contains, Many farms which
ave lost their productiveness could be
ade to grow sage, catnip, thorough
to ort, and the other vegetable necessi-
ties Of the pharmacopoeia. The business
Is one of the few that are not ruined by
competition. Rose farms are to be
found in different sections of the coun-
try, and there Is a sweetness In this
method of earning "a livelihood. al
though that is not all there is In 1t by
a good deal. In California some rose
farms are carried on to raise roses for
rose jelly.

This sole inhabitant of topsy turvey-
dom Is the daughter of Il Portuguese
rancher near Alvarado. For two years
she has ATTENDED the Alyiso public
school. She Is a pretty child, shy ana
graceful, with rosy colorlng and black
hair. Her case puzzles the wise men

1t was nearly year before her
teacher, Miss Carrie Parrish, discov-
cred the strange popularity of Mary.
The first six months work in the re-
ceiving class consists mainly of the
teaching of English. From the first
Mary appeared tlmid and seemed
slower of comprehension than the 9th
er members of her class. Nobody
could understand why she did not
learn faster. For whole year her
strange hleroglyphics appeared utterly
meaningless to her teacher, who could
only wonder at their invariable incor-
rectness. One day certain method
In their madness became apparent to
Miss Parrish. Then she discovered that
her little pupil was not only writing

blackboard, she seemed to be trying to
peer over them-to the other side,
which Is exactly the mental attitude
necessary to the ordinary observer for
the conception of the origin Of Mary's
kind Of writing.
1t Is apparently impossible for her,
until she has been over the letters, to
understand their meaning. Imagine the
mental gymnastics required of that lit
tie head. 1t was amusing to see Mary
hold her reader indifferently upside
down or rightside up, reading equally
well In either case.
Doctors express the belief that 4
defect in Mary's makeup Is ment;
rather than physical. That as a.
image reflected on the retina Is inyert-
ed, and that as 1t is a mental effort
only which enables man to see things
right side up, 1t must be mental lack
In Mary's case which hinders her from
