VISITORS AT THE INSTITUTION.
There was large amount OF COM
pany at the Institution all the time,
sometimes as many as fifteen at time.
The Board Of Directors have nearly al-
ways been lodged and entertained, an d
during the Board sessions large nun.
Der OF visitors were also entertained.
During the last six months OF the last
session, venture to assert, that the
Institution entertained at least six or
eight times as much company as was
ever entertained there before. Even
n the vacation months, July and
August there were a number of visitors
entertained. 10 fact the privileges of
the Institution we've treated by those in
authority rather as if private property
than State property.
@. Well Mr.. DAVIS your stay 10 the
Institution seems to have been rather
stormy experience. Do you regret
leaving 1t?
Mr.. Davis. Il cannot say that | do.
The fact is that at the Institution since
the 5th day Of July, 1882, tyranny,
arrogance, extravagance, gross mis-
management, aud extreme petty boss
ism, have been the order of the day,
have not only been applied to some Of
the officers and employees of the Iu-
stitution, but even extended into the
management OF the poor blind pupils.
No man who is powerless 10 stop all
this can regret having to lose sight OF it.

THE STORE" PUMPKIN PIE.-The
store kind of pumpkin pine has sort

irch thick, with a crust on the bottom
,hat almost breaks a unner's shears TO
cut it. AS for taste, tnat has 10 be
imagined, as it is sort of go-as-you-
please flavor betw cen tan bark and
cinnamon. Then again, 100 store
pies will be made out of an ordinary
20. cent pumpkin. Each pie is cut into
eight pieces about the size OF two hn'
gers. which sell for 5 cents. This brings
40 cents for pie, or $40 for the product
of the pumpkin. That leaves the
store keeper $50 and 80 cents profit on
his pumpkin and as the crust Is thin
with no shortening in 1t so cents
ought to cover this cost, leaving an
even $50 profit on the transaction,
A slice of pother's pumpkin pie the
size of your two hands, that's the regu'
lauon cut in home made pie, and an
inch and half thick contains more real
pie than a dozen store pies, and there
is no danger of trouble from Indigestion
