HONEST ICELANDERS.

Education is Universal Among Them and
Crime Practically Unknown.
To the average reader Iceland is as
Yet Iceland is a famous country; ia
nous for the achievements Of it's he
roes, for the poetry and press it has
given to the world, and, above all, for
the education which pervades all
classes.
The love of learning is almost a
mania in Iceland, and it is the rarest
thing in the world to meet a native
who can not read and write.
Another admirable trait is the re-
markable honesty which prevails in
Iceland. Crime is almost unknown;
the people never lock their doors, and
but two cases of thieving are known to
have taken place in many years.
One was an Icelander, who had
broken his arm, and whose family in
winter were suffering for food. He
stole several sheep and was finally de-
tected. He was at once put under
medical care for his injury, provisions
were furnished for his family, and in
time he was given work. This was his
punishment.
The other case was a German who
stole seventeen sheep. He was in
comfortable circumstances, and the
theft was malicious. His punishment
was to sell all his property, restore the
value of his theft, and leave the cOun-
try or be executed. He left at once,
well knowing the result if he fingered.

Pretty Girls Of New Orleans.

On first visit to New Orleans one is
impressed by the peculiar appearance
OF the women. One can see in New
Orleans more acknowledging young
girls and more prematurely Old-looking
women than in any city in the country.
The girls, up to the age of eighteen OF
twenty. are lovely. They have rich
compilations. bright eyes, the mingled
langour and vivacity that render the
Southern girl so fascinating. Then,
too, in summer time most of them
wear white dresses with lace or open
work sleeves and yoke, through which
a creamy, satiny skin glints with ag-
gravating attractiveness. There is
but one word that fully describes them
to the masculine mind. They are de-
licious-looking. But they fade very
quickly. and this accounts for the num-
Der of old-looking women OF twenty

What a Girl Did who Could Neither
See. Hear Nor Speak.

What - Girl Did Who Could Neither
See. Hear Nor Speak.
Many ladies learned the finger
alphabet simply to be able to talk with
her, and she wrote and received many
letters. Her room had a window
facing south, and she often headed her
letters Sunny Home" She took
pleasure in arranging her room and
read a great deal. You know that
quite a number of books have been
printed in raised letters for the blind.
The letters must be large and are
printed on one side of the page only.
1t takes sixteen large volumes to print
the Bible in this way. Most blind per-
sons cultivate one finger for reading
until it is very sensitive and can feel
the letters very rapidly, but. of course.
not so rapidly as we can read with our
eyes.
Miss Bridgman became quite an
author, too. Almost from the time
she learned to write she began to keep
daily journals. Those she wrote dur
ing her first five years in Boston form
quite large pack. and are full of many
interesting things. She recorded all
her little daily doings, and in going
through them from the earliest to the
latest entries you can see how she
gradually used more and more words,
and began to use capitals. and wrote
more clearly. She had also written a
few poems. These have no rhyme, of
course, because that depends on the
sound. What she says in her poems is
in great part taken or initiated from
the Bible.
Her spare time was devoted to knit
ting. sewing, crOcheting lace and mats,
and talking. l have a very pretty
crOcheted mat which she made in one
evening.
Though her life was generally a
peaceful and happy one, it had also it's
severe trials. Several of her teachers,
to whom she was much attached, died !;
her closest tie with the world was al
ways ner constant teacher and COM
panion, who was eyes, ears and tongue
fOrh Her teachers naturally learned
to sympathize with her condition more
than others could, and the loss of one
of these dear friends was a great attic
ton. She even had to endure the loss
of her benefactor, DIR. Howe. He had
lived to see her grow up into what he
had hoped she might become when he
took her from her home in Hanover.
His death occurred in 1876, and affected
Miss Bridgman so seriously that she
was very i'll and weak for long time
afrerward.
So she lived her quiet life, so the
days grew into months, and the months
into years-and So also, quietly and
peacefully she passed away on the oath
of May, 1889.
Laura Bridgman's days of darkness
are over. Many, many persons will
for long time to come think of her,
and will often speak of the patience
she showed in her affection and the
earnestness with which she labored to
make the most of her life. Joseph
