Spencer No Linguist.

AS everyone know, Mr.. Herbert
Spencer was no linguist. His ill-health
partly associated in large measure
with eye strain-prevented him from
mastering German. He was similarly
ignorant of Greek, whilst his Latin was
of the scantiest. Nevertheless, his work
did not suffer so much as one might
expect from these disabilities. He was
so entirely a anticipated only
by the Ionian thinkers of 25 centuries
ago-that reading acquaintance with
German would have been of little use
to him. On the other hand, his works
have been widely translated, the Won

day awoke from her peculiar cata-
leptic condition. Although she has
regained the use of her body, and al
though her senses of sight, smell,
hearing and taste remain unimpaired,
yet her mind is entirely gone, and
the physicians fear that she is hope

into this strange condition by brood
ing over an unfortunate love affair
which terminated in her being de-
serted by her lover, and herself max
ing two unsuccessful attempts at sui

Miss Wampler appears to have for
gotten her English, and speaks en-
tirely in German, the language OF her

her recreant lover, and when alone
in her room she sings pathetic little
German love ballads which she had
learned in her childhood.
