The traditional notion of "fish out OF

igy of Nino Years.

There are few among the many who
watch the long lines of canal boats enter
ing the Eric Canal locks ut West Troy
that have the faintest idea how the wo-
men aboard these boats live, and what
class of people they are. The prevailing
impression seems to be that none but tho
toughest of women would or could live
on board such craft, aud that the life
and surroundings must DO of the hardest
sort.
Bright and early one morning our ar
fist climbed aboard one Of long row of
boats that were awaiting their turn to
pass through tho weighing lock ut Green
Island, and almost tho first step 10 took
after getting aboard. he met NJ. elderly
woman in neat print dress and white

The writing tablet and guide are in

placed, and over that the guide is fas.

the word "Institution" has been written,
or rather punotured with small awl OF
style, which is the blind writer's pen.
The writing is done from right to left.

the reader can easily feel the points that

This same system in the main has
been adapted by Superintendent Wait
for the notation of music. But writing
music is much more difficult than writ
ing letters. A great many new charac.
tcrs have to be used to Indicate the notes
and their time value.
In studying music the pupil is trained
by car at first. The difference in the
notes and their time, the flats and sbarps,
rests and intervals, are all mastered be-
fore the work of reading and writing
music is taken up. After that the task
is not so hard as it looks. When blind
person comes across a new piece of music
he must learn it note by note. THERE'S
no such thing as playing at sight, of
course, and the work is very slow, but it
can be accomplished, and among the pu-
pNs in the advanced classes there are sew.

him, while with his left hand he played
the various notes until he had memorized
them.
There is peculiar printing establish
ment in this city where very little ink
aud hardly any type, as most printers
know type are used. 1t is here that the
music books and the school books for
the blind are printed. There are square
blocks with points on them to correspond
with the points in letters that are used,
which take the place of common tyne.
These are set up from the "copy" and
printed on heavy paper. This paper is
afterward vanished so that the points
will not be worn down by constant use.

A Smoking Tree.

west of Charlotte, N. c., has curiosity
that beats by large majority the rain
tree which gained such notoriety in Char.

branches. On recent Sunday one of
the family noticed puff of smoke pro.

A woman Who TASTED Nine Years.

The little town of Bourdellcs, in
Pcrigord, France, is becoming famous
through II woman named zelic Bovrivu,
who pretcnds to have tasted for nine
years and who is now actually undergoing
sixty-day fast "nder,. ooiaitifc pre-
cautions against fraud. The woman,
says the Chicago Tribune, is the widow
of farmer of Pamssac- Saint Vivien
named Guillamc Garron, by whom she
had four children, all now dead. The
death of her husband was the beginning of
her fast. She is . brunette, with brilliant
eyes and excessive nervousness. She has
lived since her alleged fasting begun
under the care of DIR. Lafon, who says
that he visited her frequently, and, while
unable to say that her story was untrue,
doubted it very much, and cndcavorcd
frequently to induce her to submit to n
systematic course of observations that
would scientifically test her claim.
She always refused, and this confirmed
the doctor in his suspicion that the
woman was merely an ordinary historical
aud perhaps unconscious fraud. Last

The italian National Dish

Ravioli is the Italian national dish. IL
is expensive and is made with great
labor. A celebrated Italian chef gives
Thu definition OF its component parts:
"You take" he said, "some breasts of
chickens, a little sausage that is made
only in Italy, and of which very little is
used, as it is for flayoring only; calf's
brains. parsley and bictola, and this is all
mixed into paste. If you can afford it
you will also use trufles Then you
make pastry of eggs, flour and butter;
there must be no water used This
pastry is worked hard on board and
rolled as thin as paper. Then it is cut
into forms by using the top of sherry
glass. The edges are scallopcd and the
paste is put between two layers. Then
it is boiled in broth for thirty minutes
and put upon n platter; over it is poured
n gravy such as is used for macaroni, and
the whole is served with plenty of Par
mcsan cheese. To make this properly
requires an experienced COOK; but once
it is eaten the diner will never forget it.
1t will linger in his dreams as one of the
delightful things Of lifc. "-A,yonaut.

After pupil has learned to read aud

The same sort OF board is used for
Backgammon, and the dice all have sharp
points on them, instead of black dots,
to mark their values.
Chess is difficult game to learn, but
when it is once mastered the blind player
can enjoy it as we'll as one who sees, and
some of the pupils are remarkably brill
liant players. The chessmen have little
pins on the bottom of each piece which

kind of amusement. Each card. of course.

value, but in game each player must
call out the card as he plays it SO that his
opponent can tell what has been played
This makes the game trihc slow and
nonotonous.
In conclusion, let me call attention to
something that most Herald readers have
probably noticed aud have never heard
explained. II one has ever been near n
blind asylum in the evening he must have
noticed that the building is always illu-
minated. Why do tho blind need lights9
1t is because very few so-callcd blind
persons arc really blind. While they
may not be able to distinguish objects,
they can. as rule, distinguish between
light and darkness, and the gas-li.ht
makes their rooms and halls much easier
for them to find their way in than dark
hess would.-Nau York Herald

He does not attempt to explain the case,
but has referred it to Drs Charcot and
Ball, well-known specialists in nervous
diseases.
The opinion of the ncighbors of the

believe implicitly that she is as she pre-
tends to be, under divine inspiration,
and are expecting other miracles from
her in due time. Others believe her
rather to be possessed of the devil.
