Once and awhile we hear some
pessimist on the streets of Lyons 1
express the opinion that the rail
road will never be built. Mister
you must think the people who are
putting so much money in the en
terprise are mighty big fools One
thing is certain, a remark like you
make is not helping the cause one
hit, and you should either sav a
good word, keep your mouth shut
altogether or move to more con
genial aurroundings. A pessimist,
however, is never any good, no
matter where he lives.

Blind Girl’s Keen Touch.
Philadelphia.—Continued evi
dences of a remarkable mentality
are being diep ! ay*d by Kathryne
Frick, the deal, dumb and blind
girl who is being educated at the
Penns* ivania Institute for Deaf
and Dumb and for whose training
the state has made an appropria
tion of $2,000.
Speaking of the girl’s wonderful
developement, Dr. A L PL Crom
er, superintendent of the institu
tion, yesterday Baid:
“Within the last few days she
recognized, through her sense of
touch, one of the members of the
institution whom she had metonlv
once, six months previously.”
The blind girl fixed the identity
of the visitor by touching bis
watch and chain. The identifica
tion was not only proof of her re
markably developed sense of toueb
but. her no less remarkable mem
ory.
On recognizing the visitor, her
face brightened and she spelled
out his name correctly tc her teach
er. Previous to this the girl has
shown that with her keen sense of
smell and her unusual strength of
memory she was able to recognize
the senders of postalcaids through
the mail, easily picking out those
from members of her own family
and various other persons. —New

A New Feature at Funerals.
A novel use of the gramophone
was made when an elderly choir
singer in Michigan sang at hie own
funeral. He had taken the pre
caution, some years before, to put
himself on record, and his mourn
ing friends heard his voice in two
hymns, as well as in a concerted
piece of sacred music in which he
had been joined by a sou and
daughter.
The making of the gramophone
records at home is not a difficult
matter. The wonder is that it is
not more frequently indulged in,
wnofcher for entertainment during
one’s lifetime or tor consolation
after one’s death. Furthermore,
if a man can sing his own funeral
hymn he could also preach his own
funeral sermon. Discords, wheth
er literal or metaphorical, often
slip into funeral services; any ar
rangement that can minimize or
remove them is not to be lightly
disregarded.—Ex.
