~ tered } 4 y HIS VISION I$ PERVERTED. & Bow Who Writes Backward, but Sees It as If Written Correctly. A remarkable case of what, for want si better name, is termed perverted ‘i8ion is just now attracting much at- tion in North Adams, Mass. The ictim of this strange malady is John Ghidotti, a six-year-old. boy who at- tends the public schools of that city. Physically and mentally, so far as sci- entists and physicians can determine, he in no way differs from other boys of his age, except that it is practically impossible for him to write in the or- dinary manner, He uses his left hand, writing from right to left, forming his letters and sentences backward. This peculiarity of the boy was noticed as Soon as he began to take writing les- Sons. He learned the letters quickly, and wrote rapidly for one so young, but his writing was invariably in the reverse order. Starting from the wrong side of the page he would cover his copybook with characters which looked unlike anything called writing, but if the page was held before a mirror the reflection was perfectly legible and ap- peared like ordinary writing. Strange to say, he makes figures in the proper manner, Yet he cannot explain the difference between writing figures from ieft to right and letters just the re- verse. It seems impossible to teach this child that there is anything pe- culiar about his chirography, and he Persists that his handwriting is like that of any other peison. One may guide his right hand over a line of copy in the proper man ter, but the mo- ment his hand is released he instantly 2hanges the pencil te tis left hand and commences to write in his through- the-looking-glass fashion. Another pe- euliar feature of this perverted vision is that apparently he has no difficulty id writing the handwriting of other Persons, although there is such a dif- ference between his own and that of others. His teacher, Miss Alice C. Buckley, says that he evidently tries very hard to do as he is told, but it is as difficult for him to write in the ordinary manner as it would be for another to practice Wis unique method. She cannot make up her mind whether his difficulty comes from a defect in his eyes or from the fact that he is left handed, but she has little hope of remejly unless she can induce the child to use his right hand. Dr. C. W. Wright, of North Adams, specialist von the eye, after a number of exam- ‘ Inations of the boy’s eyes, has arrived at the conclusion that the child is, to use his own expression, “a freak of na- ture.” that there is any unusual crossing of the nerve fibres of the eye. The doc- tor, in all his years of experience, never met with an analogous case. Some years ago a returning Arctic ex- plorer told of a number of Esquimaux whom he met in the north of Green- land, who, when he gave them some colored lithographs, persisted in hang- ing them upside down, and when asked 4 Why they did so declared that only when they were so hung did they ap- pear natural. To these natives the ac- \\tual individual or object seemed to occupy a proper position, but in the cease of pictures, apparently, they. found it necessary to reverse them in order to appreciate them. Imatra Waterfall in Finland, The celebrated waterfall of imatra, in Finland, which was visited, we be- lieve, by Mr. Gladstone during one of his Scandinavian tours, promises to become a source of very large profit to the revenues of the imperial grand duchy. The ever-increasing crowd of summer and autumn tourists visiting the fall already support a special line of railway constructed for their con- venience and accommodation. The so- called Historical hotel, which stands above the Imatra, and also the many flourishing settlements on the Saima canal, exist almost entirely on the yearly influx of visitors from all parts of Europe. A Russian company is now being organized for exploiting the in- herent forces of this magnificent cas- eade as an electrical motor. A net- work of wires will transmit the motor power of the tumbling and foaming waters of Imatra in various directions, even as far as the gloomy and misty Petropolis. to obtain a driving force of twenty thousand horse-power, and, as the Fin- nish executive values each single horse- power at five hundred riksmarks, the necessary capital for working the en- terprise will be twelve million five hundred thousand of that currency. The lessees will pay for their acquired force by a fixed percentage on the gross capital. It is stated that twenty thou- ‘sand horst-power represents only one- sixth of the colossal force of the Fin- nish Niagara.—London News. White Slaves of Old Engiand. Bight hundred years ago all of the large cities of England had regular | slave markets for the sale of white slaves from all parts of the kingdom. In the “Life of Bishop Wulfstand” the writer says: ‘see in the public market rows of young people of both sexes tied together and ‘sold like cattle—men, unmindful of their obligations, delivering into slav- ery their relatives, and even their own ? ildren.” In another part of this ‘work it is noted that among these slaves were “particularly young wom- en, of fine proportions and of great beauty.” Weyler’s Warfare. “Give me my writing material,” said Weyler to his secretary. “Red or black ink, sir?” “Red, you fool! I’m going to fight battle!’—Atlanta Constitution. Cold Business, Ain't It? A baptist through a hole in the ice entertained Main Hill, Maine, people one Sunday recently.

When our new woman is not pro- posing to herself and her readers a re- version to the ancient system of poly- andry (on which consult McLennan, Westermarck, Morgan and Bachofen) she is apt to disdain and shrink from the atrocious and oppressive male sex, says the North American Review. She is not so new but that Mrs. Mary Astell was before her, in 1709. Mrs. Mary “proposed a sort of female col- lege, in wh'ea ladies nauseating the parade of the world might find a happy retirement.” Queen Anne meant to endow this establishment, but Bishop Burnet persuaded her that it savored of popery. Sir Walter Scott (who had nothing new in him) speaks of Mrs, Tins. Mary Fiourished in | Mary as a Precieuse, who is anxious to confound the boundaries which na- ture has fixed for the employments and studies of the two sexes. Swift laughed at Mrs. Mary in The Tatler (No. 32). But the new woman who sprns the de- grading coarseness of matrimony has closer patterns of Moliere’s Cathos and Madelon (‘Les Precieuses Ridicules,” 1659). These ladies express themselves with such virtuous freedom that I could not quote them unless I were a new lady novelist, writing in a new Keyhole Series, The student is, there- fore, blushingly referred to the or- iginal drama by the unprincipled Po- quelin. For Moliere, too, had nothing new about him; he laughed at these original delicacies of sentiment. The new young lady in society is remarked for the generous breadth of her lan- guage and the large frolic of her wit. even this is not so very new. In the correspondence of Lady Suffolk (1714-1760) we find the maids of honor, led by the oldest and most prudish, Miss Meadows, larking about on a win- ter night, outside Kensington palace, knocking on the panes and throwing open the windows of the inmates. Nothing can be more in the modern taste. I read in a pericd’eal devoted to the intellectual needs of women. The Lady’s Realm, that the most popular and most justly popular lady in Eng- land excels in the confection of “ap- ple-pie beds.” I don’t believe it, of course, but this news is of the kind that women love. JULES VERNE. Very Different from the Man One's Im- agination Wonld Picture. If, meeting him without knowing who he was, I had been asked to divine his profession, I would have said he was a retired army general or a pro- fessor of physics and mathematics or a cabinet officer—never an artist, says a writer in the Chautauquan, in speaking of Jules Verne. He does not show the burden of his almost 80 years, he has somewhat of Verdi’s build, with a se- rious, kindly face, no artist-like vi- vacity in look or word, very simple manners, the imprint of great sincerity in every fieeting manifestation of feel- ing and thought, the language, the bearing, the manner of dress of a man who considers appearances of absolute- ly no account. My first sensation after the pleasure of seeing him was one of stupefaction. Apart from the friendly look and the affable demeanor I could recognize nothing in common with the Verne who stocd before me and the one that had a place in my imagina- tion. My wonder even increased when, induced to speak about his works, he spoke of them with an abstracted air, as he would have done of some one else’s writings, or, rather, of things in which entered no merit of his—as he would have spoken of a collection of engravings or coins he had acquired and with which he occupied himself from ‘the necessity of doing something rather than from any passion for the art. ‘ The Wily Raven. The éollowing anecdote, communicat- ed by Mr. R. Ball to the author of Thomson’s Irish Birds, ig a curious il- lustration of the remarkable sagacity of the raven. A tame raven, kept by schoolboys, was very attentive in watching their cribs or bird traps, and when a bird was taken, the raven en- deavored to catch it by turning back top of the trap with its beak, but in so doing the bird always escaped, as the raven could not let go the crib in time to seize. After several vain attempts of this kind the raven, seeing another bird caught, instead of going at once to the trap, went to another tame raven and induced it to accompany him. When the second raven lifted up the crib, the other bore the poor captive off in triumph. Feeds Newspapers to His Hens. A farmer of Clare County, Michigan, has found that he can increase the egg-laying abilities of his hens by feeding to them old newspapers torn in bits and soaked in sour milk until the whole becomes a pulp. The hens, it is said, like the new food, and the inventor expects to see almost any day one of the freak papers come out with the picture of a hen that sets type. Origin of Horseshoeing. In the ninth century they began to shoe horses, but, strange to say, only in time of frost. King William I. in- troduced horseshoeing into England, and six horseshoes are on the coat of arms of the man to whom William gave vast estates for caring for his horses in this way. A Resemblance.

Harvest Home for the Farmer. ~The Minnesota state fair, which will be held at Hamline, midway be- tween the two cities, from Sept. 6 to Northwest, have been especially prosperous, and, as the result, the association offers premiums and purses to the amount of $25,000. This large sum is stimu- lating every department, apd the en- tries of. exhibitors are pouring in as. never before. The buildings are being overhauled, repainted, repaired and renovated. The grounds generally are being put in order, walks and roads repaired, and the race track is absolutely in superb condition. The purses offered for the races aggregate $7,500, and some of the most celebrated horses in the country will be present. Happy Jack, the famous horse which paces in 2:09 without rider, driver or sulky, will give a daily exhibition during the races. He is the original horse to give this unique exhibition. The displays of stock, poultry, dairy producis and farm machinery will be unusually large, and the whole exhibit will be a veritable harvest home for the farmer. In addition to the exhibits there will be various amusements, such as balloon ascensions and other attrac: tions. The railroads return exhibits free, carrying them cirect to the grounds. One fare for the round trip will be given to visitors, and steam and street cars run direct from the twin cities to the grounds. Both St. Paul and Minneapolis have carnivals state fair week, giving free evening Street displays. The whole week will be one of pleasure and instruc- tion. Parties desiring to cump on the grounds can obtain the free use. of a tent by writing to Secretary E. W. Randall, at Hamline. For Sale.
