An Accomplished Blind Man.

1t is almost incredible that Simon
Collins of Marietta, who has been blind
for twenty years, is an expert carpet
weaver, makes and prints paper flour
sacks in colors, doing the printing on
a Washington hand-press, and with
perfect register, but the Marietta
Times vouches for that. have known
him for seven or eight years and have
seen him frequently on the streets of
his town, cane in hand, walking rapid
ly, making all the ms and outs, going
down into basement or upstairs to a
business office, never making n mistake
and never being hurt.
A year ago he made canoe from
his own design,~ahd tshe same 65yt won

and cane-seated chairs. W
His latest triumph is the Mastery Of
the typewriter. He bought one some
months ago and is now able to operate
it quickly and correctly. He is said to
be an expert eucher-player, but l can
not vouch for that. though it is scarce
ly any more notable than many things
already mentioned which have known

THE METALLIC LIFE CAR.

As the writer left, the old Captain
was standing ON the shady porch of the
Life Station, scanning the windy hori-
zon, in an attitude such as might have
been assumed by Vanderdecken on the
poop of 'Das Fliegende Hollander,"
his long beard grasped in his hand,
while the stiff breeze sang and whistted
about the building apa shrieked be-
tween the tall polesthat stood in front
of the station, from which are hung the
night signals to distressed vessels out
at sea-.

drowning of the passenger who hap
pened to be in at the time.
Slowly and laboriously the buoy
reaches the ship. An age seems to
elapse before the signal is given to
those on shore to "Haul away" When
it does come, the life station men pull
with will. AS the buoy approaches
the shore, the figure of man can be
seen in it. Elevated as it is by the tall
.'crotch." it is still none too high for
the greedy breakers to reach, and the
surf breaks over it again and again; :;
but the men pull with redoubled vigor
and presently land the first arrival
from the wreck.
