pers and tell the Britons just how ridic
ulous we appear when we are in the
midst of an exciting campaign, is an
American girl who has made money by
transferring the methods of the new
woman journalists from New York to
London. She might be called the Nelly
Bly of England.
Miss Banks’ American career was
not an especially brilliant one. After
graduating from the Wisconsin Female
college she did some newspaper work in
St. Paul and Baltimore, and then for a
year acted as private secretary to the
United States minister to Peru. Two
or three years ago she went to London
and attracted some attention by replying
to an article by Kipling, in which the
latter criticised Americans severely. In
further retaliation Miss Banks sprung a
surprise on the English people which
fairly made them gasp.
She secured a position as servant in
several families, staying a week or so
in a place. After she had acted as par
lor maid, laundress and housemaid she
wrote up her experiences, divulging
many secrets of English home life.
Then she made another and still more
brilliant stroke. She advertised for an
introduction into the exclusive circles
of British aristocracy, stating that she
was an American heiress and willing to
pay the rate. She received 185 answers
and obtained exact figures as to the
amount it would cost her to be presented
at the queen’s drawing room and other
functions. These letters she mercilessly
printed, and Mayfair was set shaking
in its shoes. Since then Miss Banks'
services have been much in demand by
a certain class of English publications.
She has also written a book entitled
“Campaigns of Curiosity,” in which
--she tells all about her adventures.
Her most recent exnloitwasto obtain
an interview with Li Hung Chang
while he was in England, and she was
the only woman journalist in the United
Kingdom to succeed.
THE BLIND GIRL PRODIGY.
Helen Keller, Blind, Deaf and Dumb,
Passes the Harvard Examinations.
Helen Keller, a 16-year-old girl who
can neither see nor hear, has passed the
preliminary Harvard examinations and
could, if she chose, enter Radcliffe col
lege tomorrow. For years the progress
of this remarkable girl has been watched
with deep interest by educators and
scientists. She was born in Tuscumbia,
Ala., June 27, 1880, her father being
HELEN KELLER.
an ex-captain in the Confederate army.
Up to the age of 18 months she had full
possession of her senses, but just as she
was beginning to learn to walk and talk
she was afflicted with a disease which
left her deaf, dumb and blind.
For the next few years no attempt
was made to improve her pitiable and
helpless condition, but at the age of 7
she showed such a bright mind and
seemed so eager to learn that her father
sent her to the Perkins Institute For the
Blind in Boston. In this school she made
wonderful progress. She first learned to
communicate her thoughts by means of
the sign language. Then she began to
learn to articulate words, and, although
she could not hear the sound of her own
voice or that of others, she learned how
the sounds were formed by placing her
sensitive fingers upon the throat of her
instructor. When she was 10 years old,
she had begun to talk and had learned
to read raised letters.
By these difficult methods Miss Kel
ler has not only mastered the English
language, but French and German also,
and has gained a general education such
as few girls of her age possess. But
still more remarkable has been her
achievement in mastering the difficult
art of lip reading, which very few blind
people ever conquer. Two years ago
Miss Keller was sent to the Wright-
Humason school in New York city,
where the system is taught, and after a
few.-monfi s.’ practice she was able to

understand spoken words. Her fingers
she uses as ears, placing them on the
lips and throat of the person speaking,
and reading the words by means of her
acutely developed sense of touch. She
will not enter Radcliffe until she has
passed a year < or two in a preparatory
school.
Saved by a Cool Head.
Sir Andrew Clarke, while traveling
in Italy, ascended a high tower one
evening and found at the top another
tourist, an Englishman. They chatted
pleasantly for a few minutes, when sud
denly the stranger seized Sir Andrew
by the shoulders and said quietly, “I
am going to throw you over. ” The man
was a maniac. The physician had only
a moment in which to gather his
thoughts, but that moment saved him.
“Pooh,” he replied unconcernedly,
“anybody can throw a man off the
tower! If we were on the ground, you
could not throw me up. That would be
too difficult.’’ “Yes, I could,” retorted
the maniac. “I could easily throw you
up here from the ground. Let us go
down, and I will do it.” The descent
was accordingly made, during which
Sir Andrew managed to secure help and
release himself from his perilous situa
tion.—San Francisco Argonaut.
An Enterprising Thief.
“The most enterprising thief I ever
heard of was one whom I was appointed
by the court to defend, ’’ said Henry W.
Joy, a prominent St. Louis lawyer. “A
wealthy man died, and as fine a coffin
was obtained as money could buy. There
was some very heavy solid silver plate
on it. As the hearse moved off a well
dressed, businesslike looking man was
seen to enter it, carrying a little sack as
if of tools. Every one who noticed him
at al] supposed he was an assistant of
the undertaker. Just before the proces
sion reached the cemetery the man
emerged from the hearse and went
ahead, disappearing at the gate. When
the coffin was removed, all of the trap
pings were gone, and the young man
was not to be found. He melted the sil
ver and sold it, and had it not been for
a pal betraying him he would never
,have been caught.”—Washington Star.
