Curious Notions Of she Blind

IOWEAOWs QNOshOus " SMO RhlHWs
Touch doss much for the blind boy,
but brings him not single grain near
er TO the discerning Of colors. Where,
therefore, touch fails him, he can gain
little external help, and presently will
be altogether at ssa- Things apparent-
| iy identical in form may diffe in size,
may also totally differ 10 essence and in
nature, and Of this difference he may
be wholly unconscious. He may form,
and does form, the most outrageously
incorrect ideas on some common mat
ters, though he may continually smuse
and surprise yeuby clever guesses, or
CLEANS of what seems like intuition.
Du Puisesux, the son of professor of
philogophy in the University of Psrie,
was in something one Of the sbrewdest
men of bis day, having attained ccusid
cradle proficiency in botany and chem
istry; but he was blind. He had
wonderful memory for sounds, and
could, it's said, recognize BY voice per-
sons whom he had only once heard.
He could easily tell if he was in street
or in blind alley, in large room or a
small Que, but he believed that astrono-
mers were the only people who saw
with telescopes, and that they bad their
eyes differently formed from other men.
Nor was his notion about eyes in
general whit less incorrect. 'sThe
eye" said he, SIS an organ on which
the air should have the same effect as
my stick on my hand" The boy upon
whom Chesleden operated for cataract
had clearly been Of the same opinion.
Even when restored to sight he believ-
ed that the objects he looked on touch
ed his eyes, as those which he felt
touched bis skin, and he consequently
had no true idea of distance. he ask
ed (which was the sense that deceived
him, the sight or the touchp He won
dered how likeness of his fathers face
could be got in 70 small space as his
mother's watch-case; it seemed As i'm
possible as getting bushel into pint
measure. 1t is not to be wondered at,
therefore, that when some one asked
Du Puiseaux if he would not be very
glad to have his sight, he replied: 'If
it were not for curiosity, would rather
have long arms; it seems to me that
my hands would teach me better what
is passing in the moon than your eyes
or telescopes; and, besides, the eyes
cease to see sooner than the hands to
touch. 1t would therefore be as well
to improve the organ | have As to give
me the one | want" Abundant evil
dence of similar bind might still he
adduced, but this seems enough to
prove that even among the educated
blind people there must be a large sec
ton of the physical and metaphysical
world Of which their idea is to great
extent vague and worthless.

In the Galaxy for September George Wake

ries, illustrating ga Literal Turn of Mind"
We quote few:
This same literal turn of mind which I
have been Illustrating is sometimes used I'M
Intentionally, and perhaps little malicious
ly, and thus becomes the poetry of wits in
stead of blunderers Thus we hear of very
polite and impressive gentleman who said to a
boy in the street, "Boy, may inquire where
Robinson's drug store is ?" Certainly, Sir"
said the boy,very respectfully. "Well sir" said
the gentleman. after waiting while, "where
is it?" 81 have not the least idea, yer honor
said the urchin. There was another boy who
was accosted by an ascetic middle-aged lady
with, "Boy, want to 60 to Dover street"
swell, ma'am," said the boy, "why don't you
60 there, then?" One day on Lake George a
party OF gentleman strollng among the beau
titul islands of the lake with rather bad luck,
espied little fellow with red shirt and old
straw hat, dangling line over the side of the
boat. "Hello, boyw said one of them, "what
are you doingp "Fishin'," came the answer.
swell, of course" said the gentleman, "but
what do you catch?" Here the boy became
indignant at so much questioning, and re-
piled, Fish, you fool, what do you 'spose ?'
Did any of you ever see an elephants skin ?"
inquired teacher of an infant class. Il
have" shouted six year old from the foot of
the class. "Where ?" asked the teacher. "On
the elephant" said the boy, laughing.
Somtimes this sort of wit degenerates or
rises, as the case may be, into punning, as
when Flora pointed pensiveIy to the heavy
masses of clouds in the sky, saying, 81 won
der where those clouds are going?" and her
brother replied, IL think they are going to
thunder" Also in the following dialogue
"Hello, there! how do you sell wood ?" "By
the cord" "How long has it been cut ?"
"Four feet" II mean, how long has it been
since you cut it?" "No longer than it is
now" And also, as when Patrick C'Flynn
was seen with his collar and bosom sadly be-
grimmed, and was Indignantly asked by his
officer, Patrick O'Flynn, how long do you
wear shirt?" and replied promptly, twenty
eight inches, sir"

MANUAL LABOR AT CORNELL UNIVERSE
TY.-Mr. Ezra Cornell has published a card
in answer to appeals for assistance to
enable young men to obtain an education at
the Cornell University. The system of man
ual labor which will be adopted, he thinks
will afford compensation sufficient for that
purpose. Students will be employed on q
farm of three hundred acres, TO produce ar
ticles required at the tables, milk, butter,
cheese, meat, grain for bread, vegetables and
fruits. The machine shop will he equipped
with an engine of twenty-five horse power,
lathes, planning machines, and other imple-
ments Tor working in iron and wood, and all
students will have abundant employment in
manufacturing tools, machinery, models, ETC.
They will also be engaged in road making,
identifying the grounds, etc., receiving cur
rent rates for all their work. Mr.. Cornell
adds:
"In conclusion, will assure the boys that
If they will perform one-fourth as much labor
as l did at their ages, or as do now at sixty
years of age, they will find no difficulty in
paying their expenses while prosecuting their
studies at Ithaca"

A gentleman who had carefully trained up
his servant in the way he should go, so that
when his wife was present he might not de-

at dinner. He had, of course, been told in
giving answers to certain kinds of questions
to substitute the masculine for the feminine
pronoun in speaking of the lady.
