The author admires Japanese restraint and calls for a revival of ancestral habits to preserve civilization.

Sixth Sense Power Shown By Utica Deaf Blind Girl
Ella Hopkins, nearly seventeen, deaf, dumb, and blind, is described by physicians as possessing a mysterious sixth sense that enables her to know what others are saying when in the same room. She reads through touch, writes parts of conversations, and recognizes familiar people instantly, though she lacks ordinary senses. Her case, studied at the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, is considered akin to suggestive hypnotism by her superintendent, with only two usable senses guiding her remarkable perception.
