INSANE FOLK HAVE
UNUSUAL MEMORIES
Records Show Some AS
founding Feats Accom-
plished by ManiacS.

One Of the most peculiar features OF
insanity is that occasionally one fac
ulty. either sight, hearing, smell, taste.
or touch, is extraordinarily acute Ger
tain insane persons, insensible to every
other impression, have a pronounced
taste for music, and can repeat with
accuracy an air which they may have
heard but once. Others have a recollec-
tion OF form and color, and display an
aptitude for drawing, while more fire.
duently one may meet with an inmate
OF an asylum who has a special memory
for figures. dates, proper names, and
words generally.
There is a case on record, for instance,
Of an imbecile who, at twenty-seven,
had such an extraordinary memory that
he could solve the most difficult prob
lens I'm arithmetic and algebra, and
repeat word for word long poems after
once hearing or reading them, In
another case a boy of fourteen. with a
defective brain. who had the greatest
difhculty in learning to read, could, If
allowed two or three minutes TO run
over a page printed in a foreign Ian
guage. or treating OF questions Of which
he was ignorant, repeat the words from
memory as correctly as if the book had
been lying before him
Recalls Burials.
Very curious was the case Of another
man. a devOut churchgoer, who could
remember the day when every person
had been buried in the parish for thirty
five years, and could repeat, with Un-
varying accuracy, the name and age II
the deceased and mourners at the fun
eral. And yet he was a complete fool.
and outside the line Of bUrials he had
rot one idea, and could not give an in
teliigent reply to a single question, or
even be trusted TO feed himself
At Earlswood Asylum, England, they
have records Of imbeciles who could not
only repeat accurately a page OF more
of any book which had been read years
before, even though it was a book they
did not understand in the least, but al
so Of an insane person who could re-
peat backwards what he had just read
Another curious case is that Of an
imbecile who, in the first place, never
failed TO go to church, and who on
reaching home could repeat the sermon
word by word, saying, Here the minis
ter cOUghed; here he stopped 10 blow
his nose" and so on.
Knows the Bible.
In another case an imbecile knew the
Bible so perfectly that. If you asked
him where such and such a verse was
TO be found. he could tell without hest
tation and repeat the chapter.
All these instances are we'll authen-
ticated. and others equally amazing and
true could be added And Just as there
is one sense which is sometimes " m
derfully acute IN persons Of weak in
tellect, so. in the case Of blind people.
the sense Of smell or hearing is often
very keen.
One Of the most remarkable cases on
record was that Of Julia Brace. 2 fe-
male deaf and blind mute, who could
distinguish brothers and sisters bv
smell, and who recognized ANYBODY she
had met before by the same means

We don't want to be looked upon
as a sort of chronic grumbler kind
of fellow, but we do want to say
that there are entirely too many toy
pistols in. the hands Of the boys
about town, besides the boys arc
too careless with these "innocent
firearms. Already one or two Sc
rious accidents have been reported
! in Pocahoutas, and only a few
days ago, over at Piggott, one boy
killed another by shooting him in
the forehead with "blank' load.
The blanks are not SO dangerous,
but some Of the boys have been
caught shooting "22 shorts" in
their guns, and there is wherein the
danger lies. Our advice to parents
would be to deprive the boy Of the
toy pistol and get him a wagon and
goat instead
