Rllnd and penf nelen Kellsr.

| Miss Helen Keller, who may be regarded
as the most remarkable person IN this
country when her natural ldefciencles( blind
ness and deafness) are compared with her
gTaces and gifts, is a guest at the house
OF Mr.. Alexander Graham Bell. Wednes-
day evening a number Of we'll known
gentlemen were also his guests and had
an opportunity to see how extraordinary
is the intelligence Of this young lady and
how marvellous Is her power Of expression,
not only. by manual signs, but also by dis
tinct and agreeable oral utterances. Among
the guests was Senator Sherman.
Professor Bell said to Helen: ''This is the
birthday Of Senator Sherman, and we are
going to drink his health. We want you
to propose toast Do you know what
that meansP' As this was a new idea to
the young lady it was explained TO her
I'VE want you to propose a sentiment In
honor of this birthday, - said Professor Bell.
Helen looked puzzled OF thoughtful for
minute and then said slowly and with
a sympathetic emphasis; II propose his
health, happiness and prosperity. May he
be as helpful 10 his country in the future
as he has been in the past, and may he be
blessed with all good things in this life and
in the beautiful life to come.n
During the evening the Quickness and
fitness Of her answers to Professor New
comb and other scientific gentlemen sur
prised everybody. So did her accurate rep
etition of Longfellow's Psalm OF Life"
and so did her keen enjoyment Of stories
told to her and of the conundrums with
which she puzzled the friends who were
talking with Washington Star.

I cannot stop until have said aword for

long ago on an eastern bound train there
CHANGED to be as passengers on one OF the
sleeping cars young father, a younger
mother and baby so very much younger
5 than both that it made one think OF poor
little newly Matched canary.
The mother and father were very proud
and fond Of the baby and kept dancing 1t
and talking to it and feeding 1t all the
time. and It bore the constant and unre-
mitting attention bravely and silently for
hours. But as the day grew late 1t gave out
all at once and began to yell-it did not cry
at all-and kept on yelling until the men
and women making up the cars company
were in omen revolt, and the tired parents
drooned under the whitening remarks and
scornful Qlances cast in their direction as
thew in turn churned the baby until their
arms gave out. It CHANGED that among the
passengers there was woman who was
proficient in the "Agoo" tongue, and her
heart was touched as she translated the
following: "Ohl obi obi How my stom-
aoh achesl And my poor head is shaken of
NV shouldersi want to go to sleep, and /
can't. Oil ohl ohr'
And this woman went over and took the
baby out of its tired mothers arms, and
she gave it some colocynth pellets, and II
liked them. And she cuddled the baby
close and warm as only mother can cud-
die such a tiny restless thing and she
soothed it with the whispered sweet
nothings that babies love, until the little
head began tonod, and the fringed curtains
closed over the tired blue eyes, and the tired
mite was fast asleep on her SHOULDER
Didn't that woman receive an ovationt-

thing to be avoided.
Fancifully dressed women are not pOpu-

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used, The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in soc and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,

The Roustabout's Cues.

A pleasant feature of the sugar business
of the boats in the South is the songs of
the men as they work. A long skidway
or slide is arranged from the top of the
bank to the boat, and the BARRELS or
hogsheads are, thus slid on board The
man at the top will sing, as each barrel
is started on its way, sort of notiica-
tion to "look out below" and the man
on the boat will answer in way that
means ''let her come" The most strik-
ing words I caught were; Bar'l, bar'l,
here goes bar'l," Here goes bar'l, ali full
sugar, "Tell de troof, black man, tell
de truth down dar," "I'll ak my wife if
she'll go to town Sunday" "Sugar,
sugar, dey amt muffin like sugar, y
when mule xix yer, hit i'm in de
eye" "Never steal sugar; 60 an ak the
boss" and perhaps twenty other i'm
promptu phrases, many of which could

When some of the plantation hands
can be spared they will ship for trip of
three or four days. If the man be married
the leave-taking is some times pathetic,
yet ludicrous, and if he returns all right
he is as much an oracle to some OF the
plantation hands as is a man who has
been around the world. On recent trip
the boat was ready to back out from a
plantation landing and seven colored
girls and women stood in row waving
their adieus to those on board. One of
the roustabouts started at the end of
that row and kissed every one of those
women. The mate called out to him to
hurry up. When he got aboard the mate
said, "Why didn't you hurry?' He re-
piled II did hurry up as fas' as I could.

BuIlet-Proof Cloth Cuirass.

The cloth cuirass, invented by Mann

bullet, and recently approved by the
German War Department, has been
tested in repeated trials at Mannheim
Uniforms of the new cloths, placed on
wooden eftigies, were not pierced by
balls shot from points 100, 200 or 400
metres distant. At shorter range the
wooden figures were so deeply dented
that the officers concluded the force of
the impact was sufficient to stun man.
To make the cuirass the tailor merely
