how the Blind "see,"
New Princeton Review.

slso asked those who became blind il
youth, o. later, whether they were In the
habit Of giving imaginary faces to the
persons they met after their blindness,
and whether they ever saw such in their
dresms. Some answered in very vague
terms, but several undoubtedly make
good use OF this power, probably some
what on the same bssis SO we imagine
the appearance of eminent men Of wac II,
we have read or heard but whose features
We have never seen. When we remem-
Der how erroneous such Impressions often
are we can understand how it often mis-
feads the blind. Such imaginary faces
aud scenes also enter into :heir dreams,
but to less extent than into those of the
sighted. DR.. Kitto quotes q letter from
musician who lost his sight
when eighteen years old, but
who retains very strong visusl'ziDg
power both In waking life and in dreams.
The mention Of a famous map, of friend.
or Of scene, always carries with 1t Wis

over, these images OF his friends Change
as his friends grow old; and he feels him

Nuns Who Never SEQ Even a Priest.

The Via Merulins convent in Rome will
remsin in the possession of the nuns un-
til the death Of the last of them, when the
property will go to the city. The xteen
remaining nuns who are called the
Sopu tt Viye, are still in the monastery,
where they once received visit from the
Princess of Wales. These nuns, some
of them ladies of noble fsmil es, observe
very strict rule. Once entering
the convent, they never leave it alive.
They never see men, not even the
priest who says mass in the chapel. The
altar is screened eff, and they can just
see the elevation of the host. Through q
small aperture they receive holy com
munion.
Iron gratings and linen vail guard
the small openings through which they
make confession. They never undress
for repose, but spend half the night in
prayer. and keep, except in the extreme
case of illness, a perpetual absence from
heat. They make almost everything they
use, even to shoes and medicines. Ii a
parent of one of these nuns dies the an
nouncement is not made to the nun her
self, but ia general terms 1t is said that
one of them has lost by death father or
8 mother, as the case may be.

Figures That Do Not Lie.
New York World.


Columbus Delano, eX-Se cretary Of the
Interior and chairman OF the Republican
annex known as the National Wool
Growers Association, as heretofore re-
ported, has sent out an "appeaI" from
this city urging the farmers and 'fock-
masters" of the country to unite against
a reduction of tax burdens, and telling
them that the slight reduction on wool
made in 1889 has well-nigh destroyed the
wool industry of the country and put
prices at figure ruinously low
He insists on g restoration of the tariff
Of 1867 as the only thing that will
restore prices and stimulate production.
This "sppeal" was framed in the Neil
house, in this city, by Mr.. Delsno and
George L Converse. the gentleman on
whose motion the enacting clause of the
Morrison bill was stricken out, and for
which act his constituents retired him to
private life with rare unanimity. This
"appear' is one of the pFeliminaries to
Mr.. Delano's candidacy for Congress next
year on the Republican ticket.
The best possible answer to this mis-
leading document is to take the average
price Of wool at Boston, the controlling
wool market Of the Uuited States, for a
series of years. The following figures are
as nearly official as may be procured:

TIE GERMAN PEOPLE.
Eva n Tho Hotel waiss rs Attend School In

London Times


The Germans are rapidly developing o
system of evening continuation classes
which carry on education for two or
three years longer. Ia Ssxony the boys
who leave the primary school, il they do
not &C to the higher schools, must attend
for three years longer-sey until they are
seventeen-cOntinuati classes for at
least five hours per week. So complete is
this sys-em that even the walters at the
hotels up to the age OF seventeen attend
afternoon classes, and are taught one or
two foreign languages. take Saxony as
one of the most advanced states, but the
law Is much the same in Wurtemberg and
Baden, and the system is found to work
so well that it is in contemplation to ex-
tend 1t TO all the states in the German
empire, and Austria will probably follow
suit. This is confidently expected to
happen in the course of 1888.
| may state as an undoubted fact that
in Germany and Switzerland and, be-
lieve, in, some other continental countries
the opinion Is ripeniDg into conviction
that the education even of the poorest
classes should be continued in some form
or another to the age of six cen or seven
teen. They find by experience that
wherever this Is adopted it gives an enor-
nous advantage to the people In the CON-
petition of life and, above all, trains
The m to habits of industry and mental
application. l believe it is ewing to this
sy stem Of thorough education that Ger
many has almost extinguishe the pauper
and semi psuper class which is the bane
and disgrace Of our country.

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 9.-The Andrew

city, held its first public meeting tonight
The chief event Of the evening was =
tch by Hon. W. c. Gouay, woo has
long been one OF the most prominent law
yers of Chicago, and great
power in illinois politics. MIR.
Goudy spoke on the supremacy
of the law, but most OF his remarks
were devoted to the press. After show
ing that restraint and regulation WAS
applied to nearly every person snd pur-
suit in life Mr. Goudy'said: "But there is
one notable exception-the greatest
power in the civilized So
ciety to-day is that Of the press
and it is practically uDrestrained
and free from regulation by law. This
force makes and uDmakes presidents gov
ernors, senator's, representatives. in Con
gress, legislators, judges and all eli ;ers
in our complex system OF government
1t is superior to the executive, le9isla
tive and judicial authorities because
it causes and destroys them By the
same means. 1t enacts and enforces OF
defeats laws. Private reputation, private
property, depend upon this immeas urable
force. In short the IL 1uepCe Of daily and
weekly newspapers and monthly perlodi
calls Is omnipotent and omnipresent
This power, however, is as potent fol
good as for evil. Who exercises this i'm.
mense power? The press, the newsps-
pers. put that is wholly impersonal anC
therein lies the danger, The writer may
be Governor Hawley, who represents
his state in the United S:ateG
Senate, or the boy out of college
earning his $40 per week. 1here may bt
apparent editoria. articles, but in TACT
written to further some corrupt scbem,
for which 81 line is paid as remedy
for these alleged evils"
Mr.. Goudy advised the enactment CT ;

A United States Oeuri Jooge Decides IL Per
Gent Tote rest il luxurious.
ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 9.-Consideraole
interest has been aroused by some sta
tistics which have been collected, show
ing that southern and western lands are
fast passing into the hands Of foreign and
eastern money lenders. In Georgia these
companies have placed many millions OF
dollars, holding mortgages on the finest
farm lands IN the state. The interest
paid by the farmer amounts to IL per
cent. Capital Of this kind is still being
poured into the south, Notwithstanding
the fact that Judge Speer Of
the United States court has de-
cided such interest usurious and
the lands accordingly s forfeited. The
syndicates are formed of English and
Scotch capitalists, and they have such a.
mold in the south that they hope to re-
verse Judge Speer's decision. The Dor
rowers hsve allowed their interest pay
mepts to lapse, hoping Judge Speer's de-
cision will be sustained, and they will
not be forced to pay either principal or
interest. Ii Judge Speer's decision is not
sustained great many Georgia farms
will go into the hands OF the mortgages,
as the farmers can't pay the
interest which lspsed upon
them Ia the southwest there is
perhaps not less than S20, 900. 600 in
vested in this way, In Kansas alone over
500, 100000 being placed, while money
syndicates have their agents in every
county set king farmers In need OF loans
and placing mortgages on their farms.
Each year adds millions to the capital
placed in this section for which the mort
cages which are not likely to be raised
are given TO the foreign capitalists.

A oarber says that one Of the few
kinds Of womsn's work which is
not overcrcwded, and st which comps~
tent girls can always earn coed wages,
is that which Includes the working, cut

now. After the holidays people will
have more time to sttend TO their AaiT.
The average paw of female hairdressers
is SSs week. Sometimes it reaches az
high as SIS week, and sometimes goes
down TO SIS. A girl who understands the
business thoroughly csn command SIS

city used TO employ l40 girls, and paid
out 500 weekly In wages.
The profit lies in false hair. Women
that have their hair cut short and are
tired Of il, buy wigs or "switchcs" to
wear In the street. Those whose hair Is
poor, or who suffer from badness, wear
false hsir ST al times. Girls who con-
foe their attention to hairworkiDg slODes
earn from So to 80 week. 1t Is sn art
that needs skill and no small amount Ot
patience and perseverance, to succeed with
The hair with which the wigs are made is
collected by com mercisl travellers in Ger
many and France. Eueland and Belgium
are poor markets for hair, not because OF
the scarcity, for both English and Belgian
women have the Lair, bat because they
will not sell it. When collected it is put

TO fetch the dirt out Of an elephants hide,
and then dyed several times over. The
best hairdressers never buy hair from

THE SUPREME BENCH.
What q Nevada Senator Writes to His
Constituents About the Conflrma-
ton OF Lamar.
1t IL Unreasonable that Eleven States
Shall bs Excluded fire. IN Voice In
the Highest Court.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9-The Times, this
from Senator Stewart CT Nevada to his
constituents on the subject of the con-
ticmation of Mr.. Lamar. Mr.. Stewart
reviews at length the record of Mr. La
mar, and says: az know Of no other man
who bore arms sgaipst the United States
in the late war who has SO unreservedly
accepted the verdict of arms and SO un-
equivocally and continuously maintained
valid the new amendments to the consti-
tuition as Mir Lamar. II he is disqualified
for the Office of Justice of the Supreme
court by reason Of his participating in the
late war, no person who bore arms
egairs. the United States can ever be-
come eligible to that office"
The Nevada Senator IN closing says:
"The public press has 30 framed the
issue that the rtisction Of Mr.. Lunar
will be construed, both In the north and
south, as declaration that his participa-
ton in the war disqualiiss him and all
others occupying the same position for
place on the Supreme bench. It is IN
reasonable to expect that the people Ct
eleven states ,of The Union shall during
the present generation be excluded from
participation in the Judicial determine,
tions OF the highest court in the UGlted
States. l appeal to the representatives
of the great Republican states of the
north and west not to lend their ir fla.
ence to cement the union between New
York and the solid south. Why
should the south be compelled to
do the bidding Of single city
of the north and her people be
subjected to policies adverse to her most
vital interests under the supposed Mt
cessity Of resisting the proscriptive policy
OF the Republican party, when that party
has never had such q policy but on the
contrary has been now and is and must
continue to be the friend Of the south,
always ready and willing to aid in her de-
velopment and to advance her prosperity
Unless very different case can be pre-
sented against Mr.. Lamar from anything
which has come under my observation, |
shall deem it my duty to vote for his con-
formation and advise other Republican
Senators to do the same. Sincerely
YOU'RE, VIM. nj. STEWART"
Senator Stockbridge told the Tribune
reporter that he should vote against the
confirmation of Mr.. Lamar.

SOUND BUSINESS MAXEKS.
Dry Goods Chronicle.

Action is really the lfe Of business.
Use every means tc hold or to your
home trade.
Great bargains can only be secured in
any market by being on the spot.
Always keep your designs and business
from the knowledge of others.
1t is easy TO sell goods IL hey are well
suited to your trade and bought right.
Be courageous; drop your best friend
if ne shows lack Of honesty and integrity.
Avoid litigation as much as possible,
for lawyers al d costs cat up the principal.
Have the courage to discharge debt
while you hare the money in your pocket.
The man who borrows money and then
borrows trouble Is in sheol sure enough.
Prefer small profits and certsin returns
to large profits and uncertain sentiments.
D ffl;ulties, like thieves, often disap-
pr sr st q glance, therefore always face q
fliculty.
Puuctuality in money matters leads to
prosperity and confidence and the tasis of
credit.
The man who minds his own business
and constantly attends to it has OIL his
time employed.
In buying, study carefully the wants of
your trade, and buy with that end always
in view.
Come to this market as often as pos
sible, SO as to secure special bargains az
they are offered.
Adhere strictly to your business. There
NAV be difficulties to overcome, but you
viii surmount them.
Thousands of merchants fail not FROM
the shrinkage of values, but from credit
irg unwisely and too much.
Be polite, prompt, decisive, civil and
obligDg TO Gil your customers, and see
that your clerks de likewise.
Have the co1rage to accept small
profits, and be content; large ones in
volve more risk and less certainty Of con-
tinuing.
There are two sorts of peoI lie that gain
little oy trade, such as buy what they. do
not want and such as sell only In neces-
sity.
Success secures the appreciation CT the
world, for as the wise man says: "Men
will praise thee wnen thou doest well for
thyself"
Study the history of current events:
make careful comparisons of the fiuctna-
tions in price, in demand and in supply,
in order 10 guide your own operations by
the lessons these facts impart.
Misrepresentation Of anything never
pays, and when you tell your customers
that your goods are superior TO those OF
your competitors, when you know the
same to be false, you are simply putting
in the wedge that will ultimately drive
your trade away.
Remember inst the golden rule of COM
me 'cisl Ii e Is problty. Act, therefore,
honestly, uprieh.ly and conscientiously
in all matters of trade. Never misrepre-
sent, falsfy or deceive; have one rule OF
moral life and never swerve from ll, what
ever may be the acts or opinions OF other
men.

II is Lot very difficult task to tie o
neat and secure knot, but comparatively
few persons can do 1t. Nor is it easy to
show how it is done without the help Of
ILLUSTRATORS, but the following direction
are as explicit as mere words can make
them. The weaver's knot Is the one en-
ploytd in netting, and sailors call 1t the
"sheet bend" To make II, bend one
piece OF cord into loop, holding it be-
tween the foger and thumb of the left
hand; the other cord is passed through
the loop from the further side, then round
behind the two legs Of the loop, and
lastly under itself. In the smallness of
its sizs and the frmless Of it's hold this
knot surpasses every other; 1t Can, more
over, be tied readily when one of the
pie ces is exceedingly short, less than an
isch OF common stout Irvine being stuff =
cient TO form the loop.
So firmly do the various turns hold
each other that after being tightly pulled
1t is very hard to unite; This is the only
drawback to its usefulness. Ia making a
reef knot it is necessary to observe that
the two paris OF each string are on the
same side of the loop; if they are not, the
ends land the loops, If any are formeo)
are AZ right angles 20 the cords. This
knot Is less secure than the weavsr's
knot, and sailors call it "grsn-
ny knot" l. is made pre-
