Running the Sewing Machine.

tention. In answer to my inquiries, Ada

she had to do In her fitting up. This was
an unspeakable relief to me, as feared
that she had oyertaxed herself at the ma.
chine She protested that she had not,
and in proof Of tho statement she turned
a crank, adjusted belt, and showed me
that the needle cf the machine would
pass with the greatest ease through the
thiekest cloth and would sew about three
times faster than one could do by foot

Dreams Of the blind.

The dreams Of tho blind are Of great
Importance, and the fact that persons
born blind never dream of seeing Is estab-
lished by tho Investigations Of Competent
inquiIers So far Is we know, there Is no
proof of single instance Of q person born
blind ever in dreams fancying that he saw.
The subject has beea treated by Joseph
Jastrow In The Presbyterian Review. He
has examined nearly two hundred per-
sons Of both sexes in the institutions for
tho blind In Philadelphia and Baltimore.
Thirty.two became blind before conf
pleting their fifth year, and not one Of
these thirty-two sees I'm dreams. Con-
cerning Laura Bridgman, tho blind and
deaf mute, Professor q. Stanley Hall,
quoted By Mr.. Jastrow, says: "sight and
hearing are as absent from her dreams as
they are from the dark and silent world
