Correggtn and His Life.
Little Is known of Correggio, which
would argue that ha was of a retiring
disposition. He was born In the Ifttl
town of Correggio, twenty-four mites
from Parma. In the latter city he was
educated, but in his seventeenth year
an outbreak of the plague drove his
family to Mantua. By 1514 he was
back in Parma. For some years he
worked here and painted many famous
pictures. It may have been because
of grief over. the death of his young
wife, but at the age of thirty-six. In
different to fame and fortune, ne r
tired to the little town where he was
born. All that Is known regarding
his death is the date, March 5, 1534.

REMARKABLE MAIL CARRIER;
The KottiaBlte Career of A Fronllertuti
. VTha Carried tlaelk Sam'S Mall.
Robert iV Athy, who ha just been
appointed mail carrier between Camp
ton anil Spradlln, Wolfe County, has
the moat remarkable record of any
man in this part of the country. His
unusual Yecord begun at his birth,
when he -weighed only two aud one
half pounds, aud he could be put in
a toffee i lot easily. He grew up, how
ever, to medium size.
Atby lias been a mull carrier In dif
ferent lections of the mountnlns for
nearly twelve years aud In that time
has made a great reputation as n
hunter, having killed several bears, n
large number ot wildcats and almost
a thousnrj squirrels, besides n num
ber of rattlesnakes. Several limes In
his career Athy hna beeu compelled
to leave bis horse at the bunk ot some
swollen stream and to pluce ills mail
sack lu Ills teeth nnd swim across, lu
all his twelve years ot service the
mall has never once been delayed.
Once Athy narrowly escaped ' being
killed by a landslide which swept
down a mountainside nnd completely
obliterated the road just In front of
Athy.
Athy Is' also a preacher ot the gos
pel. Ettch day at one cr two points
along tbe trail be finds a crowd await
ing him, and there he give five or ten
minute talk on tbe method of getting
in nnd staying in the straight and nar
row path. Many have been converted
by his teachings. Atby also acts as
messenger boy for that entire moun
tain district, and when any one want
a bundle brought from the store he
never hesitate to ask Atby to bring
It for him.
Athy states that ho has been en
gaged to be married twenty-eight
times and has never been "In earnest"
yetc Atby has educated himself and
Is -well read for a citizen ot that part
of , tbe mountains. He is always well
dressed aud polite, aud I undoubtedly

: Athy is thirty-seven year old. He
has-ridden one horse all tbe time that
he has been mall carrier, and it is es

.'It.appears
v A Clever Change, "
At the Academy of Sciences In Pai ls
K was announced recently that M. Mot
Hard had hit upon a means for trans
forming a radish into a potato, M.
MollIard"B method, briefly described id
popular terms, is this! He takes A
very young radish,. "Pasteurizes" It
In a certain way, and it grows bp into
a fine potato. More scientifically, tho
young radish ts cultivated in a glass
retort, after a process invented by
Pasteur, tn a concentrated solution ot
glucose. Starch then develops plenti
fully In the celts of the radish, Which
swells but, loses its pepperlttess, and
acquires, practically the consistency,
flavor, And especially the nutritive
properties, ot tbe potato. It Is not
claimed that tho latter vegetable will
be at once superseded or that It will
yet be cheaper to change radishes 'In
to potatoes than to cultivate the latter
In the ordinary way. But M. Mol
Hard's discovery Is regarded as one
which may have far reaching conse
quences. He may have, to some ex
tent, found the "philosopher's stone"
of tho vegetable kingdom.
Hypnotism and Crime.
The average man knows in a gen
eral way that there is sui-u a thing
as hypnct'.sm, and that a person wnen
In the hypnotic sta'.e will do as he 13
bid. Consequf ntly, when It ts reported
that a crime has l;e?n Uon? by one
man at file suggestion of anotner who
had hypnotized the first, the average
man is ready to believe it possible.
This does not happen so often as is
sometimes supposed, according to Dr.
Pierre Janet, a French psychologist
who has recently been Rehiring In
this country.
' Doctor Janet says thaF of all tbe
eases where hypnotism has been al
leged as a cause of crime, he knows
of but inree where the fact has been
clearly shown, and Id 'one of these
cases hypnotic suggestion was not nec
essary to explain the crime. Doctor
Janet says, farther, that only Ave or
six per cent, ot mankind can be nyp
nottzed, if one uses the term wit'a pre
cision. Other psychologists say that
a man when In a hypnotic state can
not be persuaded to do anything which
he would net do if fully conscious ot
his acts.
