One of ib.- greatest living curiosities
resides three miles east of Uullatin,
IViin , according tu the Boston Cliche,
al a negro seitlemetnt on the Scottvillo
pike, which is known as .Hart's Hill.
Tho 1 tile village, derives it-: name, so
the story goes, from a man whose cog?
nomen was Marl, and said to have been
tin- llrsi settled in that, section. Kor
many years Hurt's II ill has been a
thrifty little hamlet, inhabited wholly
by negroes, who earn their living by
the sweat oi the brow.
But there Is among them one worth go?
ing miles to see. In fact, she is mi" of,
if not tho greatest, of human curiosities
of the Nineteenth Century.
Her name is .lam- SVhlteslde, and she i
was originally as black as it am him?
self, but is now as snowy while as tho ,
fairest Caucasian, with the exception
of (wo dark snots on the left sloe of her
fuce and one on hei" h it ear.
Upon hearing of ibis wonderful per?
sonage, tin- Globe correspontlont, in com?
pany with Dr. 1.. Miller \Voodson, an ex?
pert in dermatology, and former lecturer '
in Vanderbilt University, Nashville, re?
cently visited "Aunt" Jane, as she is
familiarly called.
' She is 60 years old und weighs 200 1
pounds. She is ."? feet s Inches in height,
und, although quite corpulent, is as dap
per as one half her weight and age.
She belonged to live Whiieslde family
before tin? war. Al the close of the re?
bellion "Aunt" Jane, her live children und
a husband, the latter now tleceasi !. re?
moved to Hart's Hill. She Ins worked
steadily ever Since, either cooking at
some farm-house or taking in washing.
Tbo change in the color of "Aunt'*
June's skin began to set in when she was
only !' years old. The rh im:o Ii. niin by
il white spot, about the of a post:"...

this spot began to broaden, und in a short

a near caused by scolding or some similar
occurrence, and no attention was paid to
Uds. Other spots soon became visible
and tho girl was spoken of as the "ple
bltld" negro. By Oils time the white peo
plo aro\in<l Han's Hill becamo very much
interested In "I'lehald" or "Aunt" Jane,
and her case was closely watched.
.lane continued to gradually crow
whiter. The spots became mar,, numer?
ous, finally descending to her body, where
tie y coalesced. Then the arms became
white, also the hands; next the lowor
limbs and feel changed into a pinkish
white, and now from her head to her feet
(with the exception of tho three spots)
"Aunt" Jane Is changed from a jet black
negrcss to a "white 'oman," as she terms
herself.
There is no similar case to this on
record, and this one Is attracting much
attention among those who have seen the
phenomenon. There are. however, a few
cases of "piebald," according to the med?
ical authorities, hot they arn endemic to
the extreme tropical regions. The dls
i ?sc, as It Is termed, in the few known
cases quoted Is characterized by only a
few scattering spots, but Jane's pecu?
liarity lies In the fact that she is almost
totally white. Another way In which she
differs from those similarly affected, she
was never ill a day, and Is now enjoying |
perfect health. She says she never ex?
perienced any pain doling her remarka?
ble change of color, but could distinguish
the two shades by the touch, the white
biing the softer and smoother.
Tho technical term of the disease
which stamps "Aunt" .Ia.no as tho
great) st living wonder is what Is
known to the medical fraternity as
loueoderma, or vltillgo, ono of the
rarest, known. Dr. Shoemaker, professor
of skin diseases in the' mcdlco-chlrurglcal
college and hospital of Philadelphia, says:
"l.oucoderma. or vltillgo. Is an acquired
disease of tin.- skin, In which round, oval,
or irregularly formed, sharply defined,
smooth white patches develop, which In?
cline to continually increase in else, and
are usually surrounded by an abnormally
yellowish or darkly pigmented skin.
"The disease appears as Otic, or more
circular, sharply defined white spots,
notable for their absence of olsmcnl.
The surface of the Spots ts absolutely I
smooth, and is neither elevated nhovo'
nor depressed below the general surface
of the. skin. These sharply outlined
sines arc surrounded by an abnormally
dark pigm-nt. Which gradually fades into
the healthy skin. Their color Is a pinkish
white, their tint varying as the person ad?
vance in age. To the touch the spots feel
like any adjacent normal skin, exhibiting
neither'anaesthesia, pain, itching nor any
subjective symptoms. No hairs are pres?
ent'whir,, tiie spots occur. There is usu?
ally a great dlsllguration where it occurs
o:, the face.
Vitilleo Is one of the rarest diseases
known to tin. medical profession, and
is rnbsl common in early adult Ufo Jt
Is usually caused by the disturbance of
general Innervation which follows from
acute and chronic diseases. Treatment
is of no value, there being no remedies
known which will either remove or arrest
the progress of the disease."

TOO MANY TONGUES
The Hopeless Complexity of the Language
ot the Chinese Empire.
MANY DIALECTS ARE IN VOGUE
'I lie C'liinitninu Outside of Ills Own
I'i'ovliice In I.llto a Foreigner?One
or ibe Ntriwigc.s? Fen I lire* of (he
I'clcBtinl Kingdom? Origin of the
lHvcrniou Doles Rnek <o Antiquity
(New York Tribune.)
Tbo enormous number of widely dif?
fering languages and dialects spoken by j
China's millions of Inhabitants is one o'f 1
the strangest features of that vast and
wonderful empire. Not, only does it pre?
sent a most distressing Obstacle, to the
foreigner who hopes to be able to make |
himself understood In bis travels through !
tho country, but it Is equally Inconven?
ient to tbo Chinese themselves. To a
native of the province of U>uanr;-Tung, ;
in which Canton is situated, tho city of
Poo-Chow, two or three hundred miles I
distant, would be like a foreign land, for !
It would be Impossible for him to com- I
munlcato with Its Inhabitants in any I
touguu common to tbein both.
Peking, tho capital, Is Pee-Ch!n to tho
Mandarin, the accent strong on the. lirst
syllable. The river Yang-lso-Klang Is
Yong-tse-Kiong. following what seems to
bo a general rule to pronounce "a" be?
fore "ng" like short "o" in English.
There Is a slight emphasis upon the sec?
ond sylablo of the name, "tse." Iloang- '
Ho is pronounced Hwong-Ilo, tho last
syllable being accented. Kln-Chau and
Klao-Chatl are respectively Kin-Chow
and Kow-Chow, the stress in each in?
stance falling oh the last syllable. Wei
Hal-Wel is Way-Hi-W'ay. Chec-Foo Is
Chay-Foo, Nankin is Nonkeen, and
Shanghai Shanghai. Tbo name of tho
Culf of Pc-l'hl-Ia Is called Poh-Chec
Kee by the Mandarin, and that of tho
Culf of l.eao-Tong, north of It. is Laow
Tong, All these names are liccontetl on
their last syllables, as is also Tlillen
VVan, the pronunciation of which Is suf?
ficiently Indicated by its proper spelling.
Tien TSIll is sounded like one word, Ticll
sbln, with the accent on I bo middle syl?
lable, "en." Among the other important
cities of tin- empire, Canton is Kong
; Toilg in the Mandarin dialect, i>ro
iintimvQd in the. same way as Hong
Kong, tbo stress on Hie last syllable.
The origin Of the. diversity of dialects
in China dates back so far into antiquity
that full and accurate knowledge Regard?
ing it is Impossible. Hut tho subject lias
been carefully Investigated as far as
stieli research could hr- extended, and
many Interesting articles have been writ?
ten thereon. According to tho supposi?
tion of Hie best authorities, the founders
of tho Chinese- Kmplro entered the coun?
try through Turkestan about live thou?
sand years ago. Their first colonies wero
founded on the plain east of the ifoang
l-lo, whither they wero followed and
poshed onward by the Turkish hordes
from the country they had left. Gradu?
ally they advanced eastward and south?
ward until they bad gained all the land
as for as t'o?' desert of Gobi, and the
1 modern coast ifovlnce of Chlh-I.l, In
which Peking is situated. In their on
1 ward ci urse they drove before thoin the
aboriginal population, which consisted of
1 scattered tribes. These moved southward
and mingled with the Indo-Chinese In
tb<. southern part of the empire. Nothing
Is known of the pre-Chlnose history of
the provinces of Puh-Klcn and Quang
Tung, on the southeast coast, but It Is
known that they, with Hie provinces of
Qtiang-L.1 ami Yun-Nan, were partly con?
quered by Hie invading Chinese Iu the
Third century B.C. Canton was con?
quered in the same century, and Hal
Nan about a hundred years later It Is
probable that the aborigines of these
I provinces were absorbed by and adopted
tlio language of their Invaders, with n
certain mixture of their own tongue. In
Qltang-Ll and Yun-Xan there had born
Siamese and Burmese empires, and this
would account for still another mixture
in those districts.
The northern Mandarin language was
brought into the country by the troops
of Wu-San-Quol, a native of Lino-Tung,
Then an Immigration of Hnkkas from
the north brought another dialect The
list might be greatly extended, but
enough Instances have been mentioned to
show how the Innumerable languages,
dialects and patois may be accounted for,
Kor the purposes of classification these
many tongues have been divided by stu?
dents Into certain groups, and liven sub?
divided many times. The most Important
of Ihe great groups is thai known as the
Quan-lTua: This Is said to be spoken by
three hundred millions of people, four
fifths of the population of China proper,
and to constitute the most widely known
language in the world. Only oiv general
kind Is spoken, for the varieties of Ihe
Quahg-Hua are In the nature of patois
and not separate dialects. The patois,
however are so corrupted as to be hardly
comprehensible, in no other country of
the world is there such n literal '?con?
fusion of tongues" as that which reigns
in tho "Celestial Empire."
