Marvellous SurpIcaI Feat,

An ex-soldier, named Blomquist, has
Just been pronounced cured, in Stock
holm. Sweden, after one Of the most
remarkable operations on record A
year ago Blomquist was accidentally
shot in the head during the maneuv.
ers, and 1t was found that one half Of
the brain had been injured, and that
the only chance OF life for the patient
lay In its removal. After much de-
liberation by the doctors the perilous
operation was performed, with the
marvellous result that within a few
weeks Blomquist recovered. He was
in full possession of all his faculties,
but on being tested in the matter Of
reading and writing. he was found to
have entirely forgotten the meaning
Of the alphabet and numerals. One of
the doctors undertook to re-teach him
all the forgotten lore, and after a not
very considerable time and much in
dustry. Blomquist is again able to
read and write. He has now left the
nursing home, where he has been
under the care of the doctors, and re-
turned to work on his farm. He Is
robust in health and shows no trace
physically or mentally Of the ex-
traordinary experience he has had.

ROMANCE IN LIFE OF POET
First Girl Loved by Ariosto immortal
lied In His Most Famous Poetic
Production.

Ariosto's first love was a beautiful
girl, who was once dearer to him. he
writes, than his own soul. and whom
he immortalized as Ginevra di Scotia
in his 'Orlando Furioso.' With the
proverbial fickleness of a bard, how.
ever, he abandoned this girl for the
young and buxom widow Of Tito Stroz-
ri, a, Florentine noble, who, from low
ing the poets lucubrations, was tempt
ed to love the poet himself. She
looked seductively pretty, Ariosto tells
US, in her weeds. the somber tint
of which was relieved by wreaths of
vine leaves and punches of grapes N
purple and gold; while her fair. lux
uriant hair, gathered in net behind
and parted in front, fell down on
either side of her face in long curls,
touching carelessly her snow-white
shoulders. On being asked why she,
thus adorned her mourning dress. the
coy relict replied:
1T is to show the world that while
I still weep for my dead lord, am
ready to be consoled by a live one.'
Ariosto gave her the sweet consola
tion of which she was in quest.

Ruzzard Carries Off Dog.

Eagles are said to be game enough
and strong enough to carry OF almost
anything from man to cat. but
the first instance known when a buz-
zard carried off a dog was witnessed
on recent afternoon. The incident
happened few miles from Bcssemer,
A very brave little fox terrier was
endeayoring to chase off large buz-
zard that had aliGhted on the ground.
He only succeeded in making the
buzzard fly close to the ground for a
short distance. The buZzard stopped
on short stump and waited for the
dog, which came barking around the
root of the stump.
The buZzard, seeing his chance,
jumped from the stump, seized the
dog In its mouth and claws, and flew
to a thicket near by.-Birmingham
