Anna johnson, blind and deaf girl
who is spending her vacation from
school with her sister, Cora johnson,
$50 East Twelfth street, has achieved
success somewhat similar to that Of
Helen Keller and Laura Bridgman.
She is not quite 18 years old and has
only been year and half at
the School for the Deaf at Delavan,
Wis. Her case was not so difficult as
that Of Miss Keller and those born with
out sight, or hearing, or losing it in in
fancy. Anna had perfect faculties un-
til she was IL and was an unusually
bright student. In fact her affliction is
attributed by some physicians to severe
mental strain, causing the bursting Of
blood vessel in the brain. She was
able to talk perfectly with those about
her, as she retained her power of speech
unimpaired, but for five years she lived
as in a prison, unable to understand
anything going on about her, for until
she went to the school for the deaf she
understood no language that could be
apprehended by touch.

How to Wash Clothes
in Six Minutes
W ERE's a Washing Machine that almost

Il The tub spins half way around, like

There a pivot in center of Tub bottom.
And there ia groove, around the pivot.
In this groove. or track, there are ball bear.

These Bicycle Bearings are little steel balls

machine. as single garment could be washed.
How does it wash Clothes. you ask.
See the two Springs under the Tub1
When you swing the Tub to the right with
handle at topI you stretch both these Springs, till
the Tub goes half way around.
Then, the stretched Springs pull the Tub
back from right with bounce, and carry it
almost half way around on the left side. Then
the springs bounce it back to the side again.

But the Springs, and the Ball Bearings, do nearly

Now, If you look inside the Tub you'll see

Fill the Tub half full of hot soapy water.
Then spin IL to the right. The slat paddles make
tho water turn around with the Tub till the
Springs stop the Tub from turning further to
the right and bounce It back suddenly to the left.
But the water keeps on runntng to the right
though the Tub, and the clothes In It, are now
turning to the left. --....
Thus, the swift driving Of this soapy water
through the clothes at each half turn, washes tho
dirt out Of The threads without any rubbing:
Mind you, without rubblng,- which means
without wearing. the clothes.
It's the PUDDING on washboards, and on other
Washing Machines, that wears out clothes quicker
