Miss Helen Keller, the deaf, blind,
and dumb girl, is expert with the type
writer. On one occasion, as test OF
her powers, she was asked to write a
certain quotation froma classic author
on a standard machine having the un-
iversal keyboard. 1t was ratified of
in few seconds, with spelling, pune
tuation, and execution perfect. Then
another machine was placed before
her, the keys of which had been
changed into a sort of tumble, and she
was requested to repeat the quotation.
The instant her fingers touched the
instrument she knew that something
was wrong. She felt of each key
once, then proceeded TO write the eX-
tract with the same ease and rapidity
and with the same exactness that
marked her performance on the ma
chine with which she was familiar.
An expert who could see would not
have accomplished the task in a week

PET ANIMALS.

1t has sometimes been argued that
the keeping of pet animals is one way
to, develop the human instincts of peo-
pie in general. Like other practices,
however, this one is good only when
1t is not abused, as it freqently is,
When one considers the number of
miserable little beasts yearly trapped
captured and bred in cages for the
amusement of mankind, it seems as
if some better amusement might be
devised.
OF course, there are people who
make friends and companions of theiI
pets, and although no one can be alb
solutely certain about animal psychol-
ogy, it may be that the dog, horse or
bird derives an amount of pleasure
from contact with the superior mind
which more than rep9ys the loss OF
freedom. In the case of highly
bred dog, or saddle-horse it is al
most certain that this is 80. But these

JoNEsY DID 1T.
He Had Them All Guessing
Sunday.

Sunday afternoon about two o'clock
a crowd of some twelve or fifteen rep
utable icitizens of our city might have
been seen lodging in a rather guilty
appearing manner into an alley on
Putnam street. With them, as it de-
velops. was one "Jonesy," spirit
medium from Columbus. He said he
would summon the spirit of the de-
parted, would have a guitar played by
other than human agency, cause the
living to be caressed by the hands of
the dead, light the spirit lamps and
do other things not on the ordinary
calendar.
The parties approached were from
Marietta. and they said: You'll have
to show us, and what they were look
ing for was a dark cellar Into this
the party was lead, everything was
darkened, all joined hands in circle,
the guitar being placed on the knees
of one of the party. Then after re-
peating the Lords prayer and singing
a verse of Rock of Ages it seemed that
the spirit was at hand. The guitar
started to play, it floated through the
air, bumped into several of the as
tonished individuals; hats were re-
mo we'd from the heads of some and
hurled across the room, others were
gently slapped and had their hair
pulled.
Mr. Alva- Dean Alderman sat on the
right hand of Jonesy. His cap was
snatched from his head and he was
otherwise unpolitely treated by his
departed friends and in his terror he
quoted this sentence from the bible,
LET there be light. THE lamp was
brought and the editor hurried into
the land of the living. He was urged
to remain, but in a low voice said, Il
don't need to be convinced any more.
I've got another engagement.
Jonesy will remain several days here
He has introduced some of our best
citizens to their departed grandpar-
ents and is mystifying people general
| ly. Mr.. Jones gave some entertain
ments Monday evening at the homes
of several prominent people and at
| one place succeeded in frightening one
young lady, who refused to stay in the
room.

are in the minority when the whole
number of domestlcated animals is
considered.
In the first place, 1t is certainly cru
city to take wild creature -, of its
natural environment and place it in a
cage where it can have little exercise,
no natural companionship, and often
no suitable food. 1t is entirely l IS
sble for people living in a country
town or small village to tame squir-
rels, birds and other wild things with
out in the least interfering with their
freedom, if they choose to use little
patience. Most wild animals will
come where they are not afraid of be-
ing hurt. The red squirrel can be
coaxed to come from his hole and eat
corn from the hand Of human being,
and birds of all kinds are easily tanned
in the same way. One who has once
enjoyed the delight Of winning the
confidence of the voolfolk will never
again wish to keep any Of them in
cage.
The animal which is bred for the
purpose of domestication, like the
lap-dog, the Persian cat, the white
mouse. or the canary, is usually infer
ior in intelligence to the wild animal
for the very good reason that it does
not need as much brains to be fed,
petted and put to sleep as to get ones
living in the midst of throng of en-
emies. There are two ways, however,
in which the keeping of these ami
mails can be made really beneficial to
children and adults; one is by making
companions of them, developing all
the intelligence they have, and the
other is by choosing pets of a sort
whose intelligence is already consid-
erable. Children should be encourag-
ed to be kind to their pets and to make
friends of them, and this cannot be
done unless there is intelligence on the
other side. If the comfort and we'll
being of the animal is studied it will
be good for the master as well as the
pet, for altruism generally works in
that way, but candor will compel
most people to admit that nothing OF
| the kind is usually done.

her mother-in-law condemned her to

Learning this, the husband waited reg

POSSIBILITIES OF THE PEACH.
Peach Roll That Melts in the Mouth.
Superlative of short Cake,

Here is the way to make a delecta-
BILE peach, roll. Cream together half
cup of butter and cup of sugar, add
two well beaten eggs; also half pint
of rich milk. Mix well, then sift in
-four enough to make soft dough. Di-
vide the dough in three, roll out each
piece. in a long oval, and cover the up
per sides of the dough- with
ripe peaches, peeled, and sliced thin.
Roll up the sheets, pinch the ends, and
lay them in baking pan side by side,
than set them in brisk oven. Serve
with very rich, sweet sauce, favored
with the peach kernels, blanched and
shredded fine. To make this sauce,
cream a cup of butter. mix 1t we'll with
two cups of sugar, beat very light, then
set over hot water, and beat in, lit
tie at time, half a pint of good sher-
ry. Add the shredded kernels, and stir
hard. Keep the water around the sauce
boiling until ready to serve. Cut the
roll in thin slices, put three on each
plate, and deluge them with the sauce.
Peach shortcake may be made with
same sweet dough, but, to most palates
is better without the sugar. Whatever
sort is used, roll it in sheets less than
q quarter inch thick, butter the top
of half the sheets, lay the others upon
the buttered surface, and bake until
just done. For two short cakes of av-
erage size, take a quart of peaches,
after peeling and halving. They ought
to be very ripe and juicy. Mash them
quickly, with a pound Of sugar, and
stir half a pint of sherrySwell through
them. Let stand until the cakes are
baked. Lift off the upper cakes,
spread the lower one thick with peach
es, lay on the top, and put more
peaches upon that. Leave out some of
the syrup, and serve it either clear, as
a sauce, or mixed with cream, or whip
ped through cream. according to
taste.
Peach cobler as far outshines plain

Fit and trim this crust we'll, then but

heaping full of ripe, Juicy peaches,
pared and quartered, not forgetting to
put in several on the seed. Cover them
with a crust, trim it. pinch the edges
lightly, prick over the top, and bake
half an hour in a brisk, steady oven
When done take off the top crust, lay
it upside down in a big plate, then
mash the peaches in the pie, sweeten
them well, and beat into them a lump
of butter as big as a walnut. When
the butter is we'll mixed, add two Ia
blespoon fuls of sherry. let it stand a
minute, then dip out fruit enough to
cover the top crust. Sprinkle both
crusts lightly with sugar, just before
