children were taking lessons in kindergar-

Of feeling and of measurement. Many peo-
Pile suppose that blind children are apt to
possess keener sense of touch than those
who can see. | am assured by DR.. Hun
toon that this suppositon is entirely erro-
neoJs. Blind children are utterly helpless
until taught. The keen sense of touch is
the result of persistent application and in
telligent instruction. After child is older
than IL years it is very difficult to teach
it to read, write or play by note.
In other departments numerous classes
were being instructed in history, arithme-
tic, the sciences, writing, music and all the
higher branches. Geography is taught by
the use of raised maps, and the states,
counties, provinces, lakes and mountains
are all dissected. A pupil for instance can
take out the state of New York, and by
feeling it get its shape, comparative size,
topographic features, etc These maps are
made of wood and leather, many of them
by blind artisans, all of the work being
done on the premises. Writing is mainly
taught by the use of paper with depressed

as to play the piano, and are thus fitted for

music is nearly all written by the point
system, the arrangement of little points
designating the note.
In the institution there are about 100
children, and a separate building on a
smaller scale is for colored pupils. The
superintendent says that the blind learn
readily when given the opportunity in sea

lected their condition is ptiful, and, after
the age of ten, every years delay in send
ing them to school adds to the difficulty in

A Happy End to All His Woes.

John F. Kunze has had a happy termina-
ton to his long months of peril and worry.
He is the little German who was charged
with completely in the Cronin murder at
Chicago. During the time of his impris-
onment and trial Miss Julia G. Hoyer
stuck by him with unwavering faith and
devotion The other day they were married,
and the lawyers who conducted Kunze S
case presented the happy couple with a
solid silver water service. On the pitcher
is the inscription: Presented to John p.
Kunze on his wedding day as a token of
our respect and admiration. He preferred
imprisonment and the risk of death upon
the scaffold to perjury and dishonor."

Many people think that money is de-
manded from the parents for the care OF
their blind children. This is not so. Like
any other of the public schools of the state,
of which the Institution for the Blind is
properly branch, no charge is made for
tuition. Board is free to all, books are
supplied byt the United States government,
and the state allows the board of visitors
to furnish blind children with clothing,
upon the certificate of the judge of the
county in which the parents reside that
they are too poor to pay for the needed ar
ticles. In addition, every pupil who COM
pletes the full course of instruction salts
factorily, receives a copy of the Bible and
other books in raised letters that may be
deemed suitable.
An inspection of the institution and the
method of teaching blind children is most
interesting The superintendent, DR.. b.
b. Huntoon, has been in charge for twenty
years. y man of inventive genius, he has
perfected scores of methods and appliances
for teaching the sghtless, and he is recog-
nized in this country and abroad as one of
the most successful men engaged in the
good work He was n pioneer in the de-
velopment of printing for the blind, and
was the first to set up Il cylinder press that
could he successfully run on raised letter

Mr., Fuller, now of Maine, but formerly
Of Nevada says that he "never looks a
dentist in the face without thanking God
for their dispensation, and that am sur
rounded by them" Mr. Fuller's semi
reverence for the profession had its origin
with "A toothache that attacked him while
at a southwestern mining camp None of
the remedies tried gave relief, and he had
to walk 100 miles to a town, where he

teaching them. Still there is no class for
whose members education does so much.
1t lifts them from position of helpless
dependence to an equality with their fell
lows in education and intelligence: it
makes them in most cases able to main
tain themselves and in many to teach
others. Only about 20 per cent of the
blind children IN this country go to school.
There seems to be no way of reaching the
others.
The institute is not without its humor-
Gus phases. The sight of a hotly contested
baseball game played by blind boys is not
soon to be forgotten. The superintendent
led me into a large room where the girls go
to receive their clean clothes, bath room
supplies, etc. In neat lockers each one
keeps brush and comb, towels and other
toilet accessories. The superintendent
opened one to show how neatly they were
kept, and could scarcely help smiling at
the sight of little mirror. Just what
these poor creatures want mirror for is
more than can imagine. The superin-
tendcnt could offer no explanation. Nor
can explain why the carpet in their rooms
is always first worn out in front of the
looking glasses.

EPOCH.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
vidual. Such remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed. Hence it
is that so much is heard in praise of
Electric Btters. So many feel they
owe their restoration to health, to the
use of the great Alternative and tonic.
If you are troubled with any disease of
kidney, liver or stomach, of long or
short standing you will surely find re
lief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at

KENTUCKY INSTITUTE FOR THE BLIND.
The enumeration of inmates in the va
rious institutions for the education of
the blind in the United States for the year
1889 gave 1896 pupils. am told that the
most general popular error in respect to
these institutions is that they are asyums
1t is rare, even among educated persons, to
hear a school for the blind spoken of ex
cept as blind asylum" The very word
asylum" carries with it the thought of re-
treat and confinement and restraint, of a
permanent separation between parents and
children, and the utter destruction of all
the home freedoms. a prejudice is created
against the school by this word in the minds
Of parents and children as soon as it is
spoken in their hearing; and yet it is a fact
that, in the United States, asylums for the
blind are not maintained by the states, nor
is there in this country an asylum for the
blind. Another error is the regarding of
these institutions as only for those totally
blind. They are for all those whose sight
is so defective as to prevent them from get
ting an education in schools for the seeing.
Only about one-half of the pupils in the
Kentucky Institution for the Blind are
totally blind. Still another error is the be-
lief that the blind children, when sent to
the institution, remain for the allotted time
without being allowed to return home till
the course is completed. On the contrary,
it is far from the intention of those man
aging the institution to destroy the ties be-
tween the child and its home. 1t is the
wish of the board of visitors. and of all who
have any share in the work of teaching he
blind, that the home ties should be main
tanned in all their force. For this reason
the children-as in any other boarding
school-go home during the summer vaca-
ton, and even in cases where the parents
are too poor to clothe the child the state
provides clot hing

a 10 per cent increase in wages Upon exam
ination of the books il found that the
miners wages for the last month averaged over
S55. Mr.. Watson stated he knew an advance OF
wages was under advisement, and there would
be no difficulty in arranging some such advance
when the superintendent, who had gone TO
Arizona, returned This satisfied the miners
and they promised to go to work, but the
trammers were still dissatisfied and refused to
go to work. Last night the men we're deter-
mined and say that they will hold out tall the
end. The Calumet and Hecla men are in SYM

there might be great strike of 1900 to 5000

Great Britain and Germany on African
territorial affairs. Mr.. Stanley un-
qualifiedly gloriied the wisdom of
Lord Salisbury. which. in itr exercise
has resulted IN the addition of 100000 miles of
territory to the British empire. Mr.. Stanley
said that instead of being called upon TO IN
tone the doleful jeremiad he could cheerfCliy
sound pean OF praise or honor, not only of
the happy outcome of Anglo-German negotia-

result possible.

and were engaged in the work OF exploring and
clvlllZIng the African continent from the Cape
OF Good Hope to Cairo now became a possi-
