sjubservience of her brain to another's
controlling infiuence?
All that Lola does is performed in
the presence of her father, J. L. Cotton.
The questions answered by her are
asked by him, although suggested by
other people. Mr. Cotton says that the
system is that of thought transfer
ence; that his blindfolded daughters
brain is in such marvelously intimate
communication with the workings of
his own that she can follow his
thought while his eyes move from OBJ
iect to object, and while they are rest
ing upon some one thing she will in
stantly know what the thing is, and
will name it. He states that she her
self will hold the crayon, and, blind
folded, mark the chess knights moves
with as much ease as she directs his
moves when he holds the crayon. She
does this, he says, by reading his mind
with rapidity that keeps pace with
his own thought.
In brief, Mr.. Cotton says that Lola
can solve any mathematical or chess
problem with which he himself is IA
miliar, and that she can describe any
object blindfolded that is within range
of her powers of description.
She has never been to school and does
not know how to read or write.
Mr.. Ctton says that he has been in
terested for many years in psychology
zeal matters, and one day, watching the
baby-then four years old-at play. he
wondered if he could exert unspoken
influence over her. He mentally COM
manded her to take up certain toys and
lay others down, and the experiment
proved successful. Fearing TO affect
her brain, he proceeded cautiously and
by degrees, in the meanwhile subject
ing her to medical examination to be
certain that no injurious results had
followed. Lola is the only child of Mr..
and Mrs. Cotton. She was born in
Clarkville, Allegany county, n. Y.

AN HONEST STREAK.
which Led n Man Charged with
Theft to Take Himself to
the CaIabOoSe.

Humor makes its appearance in queer
places, but one would hardly expect to find
it at the door of house of correction,
says the Milwaukee Sentinel. An unfor'
tunate fellow, was recently taken before
a justice of the peace in Milwaukee.
charged with stealing quantity of wood,
There was not much of defense to offer,
but an attorney who knew him volun-
teered to say few words to the court
In his behalf
The attorney began his talk, and, warm
ing UP to his subject he proceeded,
finally succeeded in making a good plea for
leniency. The justice, of course, found
the prisoner guilty, but let him off with
a sentence of 80 days in the house of cor
rection. When the commitment had been
made out it was discovered that there was
no constable present, SO the lawyer said
to the prisoner:
John, you know where the house OF
correction is, don't you!
Yes, sir"
"Well, here's five cents and this paper.
You take a car apd go out there and give
them this paper and they'll let you in.
VIII you do it?"
''Sure!"
And the funny part of this story is that
John kept his word.

Make the Baby Comfortable.

Don't make baby's dress too tight,
says a writer in Good Housekeeping.
any a baby frets and cries simply be-
cause the little arms are restricted,
or the neckband is too tight. BY
making baby's clothes large you will
save yourself much extra work and
many fretful days. My baby wore
her first dresses until she wore them
out, some being in use when she was
two and a half years old. No change
was necessary save in length of skirt
Recently 1 saw a big, overgrown baby
of six months whose yoke met only
at one button. 1 asked the mother
if l might loosen the clothes. / did
so and found that the sleeves, made
for a small baby, now cut into the
Sat arms. The baby at once stopped
ATetting.
