He was tall and thin, though his frame was shapely and gave promise of future strength. His head large and firmly set, his forebead low and broad, his face oval, his nose straight and somewhat wide at the nostrils, his mouth large, with red, prominent lips, and his chin square and sharply cut. His fiaxen hair hung close to his neck in heavy curls, and his cheeks were ruddy. He had « pleasant way with him and soon became a favorite with old Redman’s customers. Hedman, you must know, was the grocer of the town, and Joha, his only sister's son, bad come to learn the business and be company for the childless old widower. Joba Toda was an industrious youth and toon proved a great help to bisuncie. Oid Redman was deacon of achurch and was held in high esteem asa man of gifts. He was the life and soul of « revival, and could exhort for alonger time and ina louder voice than any deacon within twenty miles. He wns likewise ywerful in prayer and corld always revive a ing hymn with afew well-directed tones that seemed to drive on the tune and rouse the congregation like « sudden breeze sends the slowly drifting craft through the water and changes the dull swell into crested billows. Though the deacon was pleased with his nephew's industry and general conduct, yet one thing swily grieved him. The boy went to church regularly on the Lord’s day, but did not seem to take that in- terest in religious things which his uncle would have desired. He never went to Sunday school or prayer meeting. but instead walked through the woods and lanes, sometimes alone, sometimes with a companion or two, runaing. leaping, vaulting, lifting and hurling heavy jughts, and developing into an athiete. Things went on this way until he paseed his teenth year, when there was a great re- ous awakening in Chidley. The Rev.

Another careful inspection of the bill of fare resulted in tho order: “Bring me some ice cream. The ice cream was brought and disposed of ina leisurely way, the Dill of fare was exam- ined again from top to bottom, iid down as before and cogitated upon and an order for Jemon pie was given to the solemn waiter. ‘The pic was brought and eaten in the same calm, methodical way, tho bill of fare studied again and an order given for stewed peas and Tho impertarvabie waiter. stood respectfull im; by while theae wero slowly devoured. d “You may bring me some roast beef and brown potatoes,” announced the guest after otber prolonged study of the bill of fare. nesic form, in which the memory of words or symbols is more or less effaced, and the motor or ataxic form, in which the memory is per- fect, but the subject cannot properly pro- nounce words from an inability to perfectly co-ordinate the muscles concerned in articula- tion.

All eves were fixed upon him in e-tonishinent, and thors were many whispered comments on his hardiiood aud shamelessness. The old deacon seemed dazed. He got up and sat down, and got up and sat down, as though he was demented. At length he arose and made bis way to the side of his nephew and said in a tremulous tone: “John, thou art my only sisters son. The Lord for- Solemmaly, “stand still salvation of God.” As thes wonderful yet familiar words is nephew's lips the deacon raised his eyes to bis nephew's face with a look of blank amaze- The tears seemed to flow in upon his soul and chill it, and he staggered backward and fell into his seat like one stricken by heaven. ‘Thon Constable Joe Sissons was sworn, and told his story of the capture of the burgh amid the breathless attention of all in court. an effective finish he placod the dexcun’s mon box on the bench in front of the «quire. Then Phil Henshaw corroborated Constable Joe, and the poor old deacon, turning his eyes awa: though he loathed the very sight of it, indenti- fed the cash box. It was John Todd's eay now. Simply and un- affectedly he related what the readors already know.

Several cases have been found where the amnesic form gave place to the ataxic. An explanation of the general causes of this cannot be well given without using technical terms, which would be incomprehen- sible to the lay mind. {tis sufficient to say that investigators have concluded that aphasia is consequent upon lesions of thore certain areas of the brain wherein are centered the power for the normal exercise of the functions affected. ‘The different phases or varietics of the disease indicate the parts affected. The most interesting facts in connection with the cortical cells of the brain have been demon- strated during the investigation of aphasia. Prof. Charcot reported n case where a gen- tleman could read by tracing the lines with his finger when a leriou of the brain had deprived him of his ability to recognize written or printed characters by sight. He could write with ease, but could read what he had written only by retracing the lines. Paraphrasia is the substitution of wrong words or symbols in conversation or writing.

Patients of this sort often exercise great ingenuity in avoiding during conversation or writing the words they fail to properly recall. By means of oddly constructed sentences they often hide this de- fect in speech from strangers. In true aphasia patients cannot articulate th; fact of which they are painfully and they often remain mute rather n subject themselves to ridicule or criti- cism. The ludicrous part of this phase of the disease is that in case certain words or phrases are retained or regained after the attacls these words or expressions are used ina peculiar automatic way by the patient in reply to any question asked. These phrases or word: course,in the majority of cases absurd], vant to the question asked. Dr. Ranney work already quoted, cites a case reported by Hammond where a patient would reply “hell to pay” under all circumstances. Another pa- ticnt’s unvaryiny reply was, “I want protec- tion.” anda third would say nothing but “um- brella, umbrella.” 4uut condition in which from cerebral dis- ease or other causes the power of writing is suddenly or gradually lost is called agraphia. The explanation of this condition rests in the fact that the patient has lost certain memories which previously enabled him to make the neces- sary tinger movements for placing apon paper results obtained by his mental procestes, - This is certainly to the lay mind a most remarkable condition of affairs. It well illustrates the di- rection of the muscles from the brain, for the directing force being absent the muscles cannot act. An agraphia patient cannot write from dicta- tion or copy from a printed slip, though he is not paralyzed or affected with writer's cramp, andthongh he can perform ail other move. ments of the fingers not connected with the writing of letters or figures with his accus- tomed delicacy.

Prison characters, like all others, a1 seen by different men in different lights. For instance, a visitor passing ulong a corridor, and glancing through the tron gates or observation holes of the cells, sees only the quiet, and, to him, sullen-looking convict, with all the crime- suggesting bumps largely developed on his ven head. The same man will be looked upon by the officer who has charge of him as one of the best, most obedient and industrious of the prisoners, which conclusion he comes to by a closer acquaintance than that of the visi- tor, although his observations are still only of exteriors. No man sees the true nature of the convict but his fellow convict. He looks at him with a level glance and sees him in a common atmosphere. However convicts deceive their prison officers and chaplains, which they do in the majority of cases, they never deceive their They Sow Bitter Feelings by Using Hasty Words.
