When Royalty Hunts.

When royalty goes hunting every
precautiou is taken to maintain COM

aud huntsmen alone are permitted to
penetrate into the vast coverts. No
unauthorized visitor can hope to ven

skirts of the preserves at any season.

Word Blindness.

Some curious instances Of the phys.
ical defect OF word blindness" are
given in the Lancet. The disease is.
fortunately. uncommon. In one case
the sufferer, an Englishman. "a years

French we'll. suddenly lost all knowl-
edge of English. though he could read
and understand Greek perfectly aud
Latin and French in a rather smaller
degree. Another and almost more
curious case was that of man who
lost the power of reading at sight
This patient was able to "ri'c accur-
ately from dictatiOn, but was com
p!etely unable to read what he had
written. Word blindness is apparently
akin to color blindness. but is certain.

Struggles on without . n0ss

Carver things of human hJnds.

And the skipper turns to go

Not In vain interpreting
Signs that vino and waters bring.
As f1oat upon lifes sea,
Hemmed around with mystery
Sometimes On the tide | find

These I take with careful! heed,
Treasure them and strive to read
Tokens Of some land tina lies
