Home Life for the Blind.

In an address before the college for
the blind at Upper Norwood, Henry
Fawcett, the blind postmaster general
of Eng land, said that, speaking from
his own experience, the greatest service
that could be rendered to the blind was
to enable them to live as far as possible
the same life as if they had not lost
their sight. They should not be impris-
oned in institutions or separated from
their friends. Few who had not ex
perienced it could imagine the indie
scribable Joy to them of home life. Some
persons hesitated to speak to the blind
about outward objects. The pleasantest
and happiest hours of his life were those
when he was with his friends who
talked about everything they saw just
as if he was not present, who in room
talked about the pictures, when walk
ing spoke of the scenery they were
passing through, and who described the
people they met. When with the blind
people should talk to them about and
describe everything they saw. The
speaker concluded by remarking that
there was plenty of good will to assist
the blind, but what was required was
better organization.

HUMOR OF THE DAY.

Counter irritants-W Women shoppers
who pull goods to pieces and never buy
anything.
The latest style ribbon is in various
shades. So is the old gentleman's face

Hoopskirts are to be revived and
there is great deal of hustle in the
feminine world.-Neoo Hdven Register.
"One thousand stocking makers of
Chemnitz, Saxony, are coming to this

A cook can tell an egg when it is bad,
if it should happen that any person
would like to have conversation with an
egg of that kind -Picaymne.
"Chinese BARRIERS shave without
lather.' That reminds us that our old
schoolmaster used to lather without
shaving. One is said to be as painful
an operation as the other.-Noristou
Herald.
"Why dost thou soar, my love ?" sings
Celia Thaxter in an exchange. Probably
it is because he has been trying to mount

Words OF Courage.

4 great deal Of talent is lost to the
world for the want of little courage.
Every day sends to the grave number
of obscure men who have only remained
in obscurity because their timidity has
prevented their making the first effort,
and who, if they could have been in
duced to begin, would in all probabil-
ity have gone great lengths in the career
of fame. The fact is, in order to do
anything in this world that is worth
doing, we must not stand shivering on
the brink, and think of the cold and
danger, but jump in and scramble as we
can. 1t will not do to be perpetually
calculating risks and adjusting nice
chances. 1t did very well before the
flood, when man could consult his
friends upon publication of one hun
bred and fifty years, and then live to see
it's successes six or seven centuries at
terward; but at present a man waits and
doubts, and hesitates, and consults his
brother, and his uncle, and his particu-
lar friends, till one day he finds that he
is sixty years OF age; that he has lost
so much time in consulting first cousins
and particular friends that he has no
time left to follow their advice. There
is such little time for over-squeamish-
ness at present, the opportunity so easily
slips away, the very period of his life at
which man chooses to venture, if ever,
is so confined, that it is no bad rule to
preach up the necessity, such instances,
of little violence done to feelings, and
of efforts made in defiance of strict and
sober calculation.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

Henceforth the telegraph Offices of
France are to record in detail all thun-
der-storms which may be observed.
The evil effect of the electric light
upon the eyes is due, it is supposed, to
the constant changes in the intensity of
the light, whereby the eyes are greatly
fatigued.
The labors of the chronological So
ciety Of Japan have established the fact
that there is chronic center of dis
turbance within radius of few miles
from Yokohama.
It has been computed that the power
of the steam engines of England would
suffice to raise from the quarries and
place in position oil the great pyramids
in eighteen hours.
Teachers of the elementary classes
ordered to conduct their pupils into the
galleries of the Museum OF Natural His
tory, to explain to them the differences
Of the several kinds of animals, plants
and minerals, and to incite young pupils
to collect specimens during their walks
around the city.
Holes may be bored in porcelain by
means of an ordinary machine drill.
The drill is kept moist with oil of tur-
pentine, and caused to revolve rapidly
by taking one twist of the string Of
bow about it and drawing the bow
quickly backward and forward, after
the manner of using saw, while the
head of the drill is held in position by
loose oiled brace.
It is believed by many scientific men
that close connection may be traced
between the remarkable electrical
| phenomena lately observed all over the
world and the excited condition of the
sun. AS the sun has not yet reached
the elimination of its period of dis
turbance, it is thought that yet more
startling outbursts of natures forces
may be seen ere the close of the present
summer.
Count Enzenberg, who has an estate
in the Tyrol that suffers very much
from lack OF natural moisture, but on
which, from the formation If the hills
and the density of the woods, he has
long believed that there were hidden
springs, has employed the microphone
to solve the riddle, and with excellent
success. Along the foot of the hill he
has several instruments, and has con-
nected them with an insulated telephone
and a small battery In the time of
night, when the vibrations of the soil
are fewest, he listens for subterranean
ripples, and already has been able thus
to discover several springs, which he
has turned to practical purposes.

he said.
"Whose diamonds were you talking
about ?" demanded IRVINE.
"About Miss Shorts. I was de-
scribing her to Jack. He thought he
had seen her in the village, and asked
if she wore blue dress and great array
of diamonds"
"Well, I have made great goose of
myself" said IRVINE, with disgust in her
tones.
And then she Strengthened herself,
suddenly remembering that she had
been standing all this time with In
graham's arm about her.
"Don't say that" retorted her COM
panion, without loosening his clasp.

me of having encouraged you to talk to

are utterly heartless! But IRVINE, "
softening, ST love you. Remember
that, always"
He unclasped his arms, but Irvine
did not stir. Instead, she did most
strange thing, considering that she
hated this man. She put up one of
her strong white hands, and drew
down his head until it rested against
her soft white cheek.
And Mrs. Grancy was in state of
beatitude, indeed, the next day, when
Mr.. Ingraham announced to her
his betrothal to her daughter,
although she did not see, and never
knew, quite how it all came about For
Morgan and IRVINE never betrayed the
secret Of their encounter " In the Dark. "

Disparaging the Prophets.

It is just as well to bear in mind,
when you read the wild representations
of Mr.. Vennor and his great rival, that
a rain fifteen hundred miles square no
more makes rainy day on this CONT
nent than fy-speck on the dome of
the capital makes the District of Co
lumbia, or even all of the dome, black.
Anybody can say, "there will be rain
and thunder-stor and cyclones in the
United States during july" and it
would be a mighty safe thing to bet
money on. What we want, what the
country clamors tor, is man who can
tell us when and where the cyclone is
going to strike, and whom it will hit.
And up to date that man hasn't said a
word about the weather.

We are Builders

We are builders, and each one
Should cut and carve as best he can.
Every life is but stone;
Every one shall hew his own;
Make or mar shall every man.
Life is short, yet some achieve
Fortune, fame, in war or art;
Some miss their chance and can't retrieve;
Some fail because they stop to grieve
Some pause with fainting heart.
TITS the bold who win the race,
Whether for love, for gold, or name.
IT'S the true ones always face,
Dangers and trials, and win place,
A niche in the fame of fame.
Strike and struggle, ever strive,
Labor with baud and heart and brain;
Work doth more than genius give;
He who faithfully tolls doth live,
IT'S labor that doth reign.
