What has been accomplished with her in that short timo is almost incredible. Not long ago Miss Huguewood was presented with a beautiful typewriter, and the other day, at the request of the correspondent of the Chicago Timei- Herald, she wrote a letter to tho editor upon it. bhe wrote this note without any aid whatever, never missing a let­ ter und handling her machine as expert­ ly us might bo expected of a girl in tbo full possession of all her five senses. There is not a single misspelled word in the com muni cation. At 14 she was taken to the asylum for tho blind ut Vinton, la., and al­ though at thut age she was yet unable to walk she wus in perfect health. When she entered the asylum, she wua unable to commnuicate a single thought to unntber bnmun being. The Iowa legislature appropriated $600 and Miss Donald devoted ail hor time to her pupil. Miss Haguowooil is able to cot and sew her own garn ents, to write letters on a typewriter, to read readily her ¡Sunday school paper and her Bible and to write slowly on the tablets which are provided for the blind. By her delicate sense of touch she is able to lecoguixe her friend» and even to remember on second meetiug those whom she has noticed before. She ia able to recognise at the first touch those whom she knows woll. , She is passionately fend of flowers, of dress and jewelry, and, next to her type­ writer, her dearest possession I n a gold ring with a beautiful setting, presented her by the iuuica of Sioux Falls Wltl« Boot hers.
