The Duke OF Orleans, who some time
ago attempted to create sympathy for the
royal family, of which his father, the Count
of Paris, is the head, still remains a pris-
oner. 1t win be remembered that the au-
thorites of the French republic sentenced
him to two years confinement for the
crime of returning to his native land and
offering his services as a soldier. 1t was
thought that after the first sensation of
the episode had passed he might BIZ pardon
ed and released, but instead the young
man is not only kept behind the bars, but
is compelled to work at chair making The
report goes that he endures his punish
ment with patience and fortitude. In the
meantime charming girl looks forward
eagerly to the day when he shall again be
free. She is his cousin and his betrothed
the daughter of the Duke of Charities.
As soon as circumstances permit the young
people intend to wed and settle down to
quiet life in England, hoping for the hard
ly possible day when France shall unfurl
the lily blazoned flag Of the Bourbons and
beg the descendant of her ancient kings to
ascend the throne of his ancestors.

Newly arrived foreigners often express
alarm lest they are being enrolled for
military CONSUMPTION, and in the Atlantic
coast ci5ies many Italians, Poles and people
from eastern Europe have already ex-
pressed savage opposition to being counted.
Ten years ago several OF this class fastened
their doors and secluded themselves in

peared; and as they are now ten times
as numerous as then much trouble is an

In beautiful grove, On high ground
overlooking the city of Louisville, stands a
magnificent building, with huge cupola
which bears a striking resemblance to the
original Capitol at Washington. 1t is a
brick and stone structure, with fight of
wide stone steps leading TO gothic portico
surmounted by heroic stone pillars. 1t is
the kentucky Institute for the Blind, one
of the pioneer institutions Of the kind in
this country, having been established by
the state legislature in 1912. In an adjoin-
ing building on the same premises is the
American printing house for the blind,
which is maintained by the government,
under the supervision of the secretary of
the treasury.

! 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 1905 pupils. l am told that the
most general popular error in respect to
| these institutions is that they are asylums
| 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 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 It's home. It is the
wish of the board of visitors, and of all who
have any share in the work Of teaching the
blind, that the home ties shCuld 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
