For ten years her mind remained a blank, for they knew not hoW to teach her. At tbo a?o of 14 tho child happened ,o meet Mr. French of Dubuque, who ' 3 interested in all tho blind and deaf.

The oth er members of tho school could talk and hear Miss Donald was drawn toward Linnio, sympathizing with her efforts to become acquainted with tho outside 'rnrnnnl Mnrnby and to Miss Dora Donald is duo tho credit of tho wonder ful progress made by Linnio Hague wood. Miss Donald three years ago wrote and published in the Vinton Eagle a 'sketch of Linnie's struggle to loam. Bernard Murphy, editor of The Eaglo, seconded Miss Donald's efforts to help Linnio, and he published appeal after appeal for aid to assist her. The response was quick and generous. With in 90 days ho had $1,600, and the gen eral assembly of the state in 1896 ap propriated $500, making $2, 100, a sum sufficient to have a teacher who would give her whole attention to Liunie for four years. Miss Donald was hirod as her teacher. "Then and not until then," writes Miss Donald, "did Linnie's school life begin. Sho was in tho last month of Ray.

Uwing to tbo fact that no such mnn was commissioned as a notary public in that county a special examiner was di rected to inquire into tho matter. Ho took tho Rev.

Linnio ia deft with tho needle, hav ing cut and made several garments for herself, her mother and her brothers. At present sho is busy crocheting and knitting little Christmas gifts for her friends, little baby jackets, balls, hoods, mittens and "fascinators."

Mr. Churchill says that he was in strumental in putting an end to the voyage and apprising the treasure seek ers of the true character of the man who had led them to the south sea islands. This man is Captain Sorenson, who, he says, is au old pirate aud desperado. There is no truth in the captain's story, Churchill says, that thero is hid den treasure on the Solomon islands. Ho led a similar expedition from Aus tralia ten vears ago and afterward transformed tho schooner into a pirate. He was captured by a warship and im prisoned for several years. It was Capatin sorenson 's intention, says Mr. Churchill, to transform the Sutherland into a regular pirate, and, after forcing the young men to do his hi.lrlin" to nrev udou the small boats of the nativo tribes that ply botween tho islands.

Experiments aro being mado with a system of compression into bricks by hydraulic pressure. The trials show that flour so treated is not affected by damp even under unfavorable condi tions, is free from mold aud is sweet and wholesome.
