Brain Advanced at the BOdy'S

Of course, it was a Boston boy
who has thus far made the most
remarkable educational record of
the age. Had a report of such
marvellous attainment come from
any other city save the HUI, it
would be unthinkable, incredible
vulgarly, "pipe dream"
The lad in question is the son
of Harvard professor, which
partially accounts for the fact that
he is graduate of Tufts college
at the age of Is years, an A. B.
(cumlaude). 1t is said of this in
fant prodigy that he could repeat
the alphabet at the age of II
months. He completed the regular
four year course in three years.
When he entered college he was as
far advanced in chemistry and
philosophy as the average senior,
and it was found necessary to place
him in class by himself in the lat.
ter subject. This mere boy Is to en-
ter the Harvard Graduate school
this.autumn. When he receives his
DOCTORS degree three years hence,
he expects to he doing advanced
scientific work among the savants
of a German university-about the
time average boy still has two
years. work ahead of him for his
bachelors degree.
The question naturally arises.
Is it possible for even youth Of
extraordinary mentality to make
such progress without impairment
to his health and strength9 1t
would seem as though the intel

pense of the physical being. 1t will

contractor Stephens to protect the
Rempel cellar that he is excavatihg K
to guard with railing the street
and alleys, and with lights at
night.
That very interesting subject of
the street nun mbering came up and
some like the way the streets are
being numbered and some do not.
Engineer Gairney explained that
the numbering is conforming to
the ordinance. Every block has one
hundred numbers, and on business
streets the apportionment is one
number for each six feet, other
streets are divided into nine feet
to the number. The numbers are
scattered out along the street SC
that they will reach up in the 90's
before jumping to the next block
into another hundred. The Court
House crossing of Main and Mar.
ket, is the base line, and if per-
sons number is 5O3 east Main
street, for instance, he lives .
blocks east of the court house,
etc, all over town.
The system is perfectly clear
and good one, and like numbers
are opposite each other as near
as possible on the parallel streets,
and all odd numbers are ON the
south side and west side OF
streets, and all even numbers are
on north side and east side of
streets. For instance the residence
of Pete Sloan on North Street and
Cherry Avenue is 103 West North,
lin the second hundred and second
block west of Market street) then
directly south from his house on
the southwest corner of Cherry
Avenue and Mound Street the
residence of Mr.. Lawrence 1erges
is 1O3, West Mound, then south on
Spring " Hunter, (Spring and
Cherry being the same street,
on the southwest corner is the
U. B. Church numbered 103 West
Hunter, then at Second and Spring,
divers furniture store is lO3 West
Main, then at Main and Spring,
the Frasch residence is 103 West
Second Street and at Front and
Spring, the Krieg residence is lO3
West Front, etc. The system is
regular all over town and a good
one and very clear. If a mans
number is 920 East Hunter, it is
readily seen that he in lives the
Ninth block east of the Court
House. Every block has 100 mum
bers or the place left for them,
and the same numbers correspond
on parallel streets clear through
the town. That is as plain as We
can make it, and We believe the
numbering system is perfect when
it is understood. All numbers
mean upstails.

HOW LINCOLN WON
HORSE TRADE.


Lincoln was a lawyer practicing
in the Illinois circuit at the time. Z
says a writer in the National Maya
zine. He and a judge once joked
each other about horse trades. The
upshot of the matter was that the
two agreed to meet at designated
hour the next day to make trade.
The horses, up to the hour of the
trade, were to be unseen There vas
to be no withdrawing from the agree
ment under forfeiture of s25. A few
friends had heard the bet made, and
passed the word around AS a result,
quite a crowd was on hand to witness
the exchange.
'eThe Judge came up first, leading
about the worst looking animal he
had been able to find. Where he had
discovered it no one ever knew. He
had not been at the appointed place
but few minutes when Lincoln came
up, carrying a wooden saw-horse on
his shoulders.
The crowd which had gathered
was hilarious at the sight. This was
geratly augmented when Lincoln sat
down on his saw-horse. critically sur
veyed the judges imitation, and ex-'
claimed:
Well, Judge, | must say that this
saws the first time in my life ever
got the worst of horse trade
