SENSES OF THE BLIND.
The Singular Acuteness of One Who Is
 Sightless.

The Singular Acuteness of One Who Is Throughout my whole life, says blind person in the Argosy, my blind ness has had this remarkable feature in it: always have before my eyes bril- liant light, so that the whole air around me seems, as it were, incandescent. I appear to be walking in light. In this light can call up at will all sorts of beautiful colors, which see mingled with the radiance and forming part of it. Thus my blindness has always been for me in a certain way bright ness. -'~~--~;. .+:"s'.
 As I grew older there came to me other abnormal peculiarities, which have been mercifully sent as compen sations. I can always tell when others are looking at me, and I can generally tell whether they are looking at me in kindness or the reverse. My sense of hearing is extremely sensitive, and through it I can read character in the tones of the voices of men and women around me.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots fer sale yet at prices corresponding with the 'Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of a dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property.

Mr.. Kane got a neighbor to help bring
you down here. The doctor has been

weeks before you got outdoors again.
Do you feel that your appetite has I'M

Mr.. Bowser closed his eyes and
groaned.
"'The doctor said if you would only
stick to it you would surely live to be
100 years old"
Mr.. Bowser opened his eyes and sat
up, and, after glazing around him for
half q minute, he shouted:
Woman, / understand! 1t is another
attempt to assassinate me! Let the law
yers come the first thing in the morning
and draw up the necessary papers, and

of endowments received and the degrees
to be conferred. In the evening there
will be a humping big banquet, when
goodbys will be said and the sesqul-
centennial wound up with a o a of col
lege songs.
OF course every event in college his
tory will be revived during the celebra-
ton. No Princeton man but knows the
whole story from the time of the log
college down to date. And what a pride
these alumni take in it all! 1t is a story
to thrill the blood of a patriotic Ameri-
can, young or old, the record of this
college, loyal through two wars. Prince
ton has ever been the home of patriots,
they will tell you and prove it by his
torical facts.
Princeton had its real beginning
early in the eighteenth century when
the Rev. William Tennent opened on
the banks of the Neshaminy river what
vas called in derision 1.-THE log college. y
AS an outgrowth of this, 90 years after,
Princeton was incorporated as a state
college. In 1854 was laid the corner
stone of Nassau hall, that tree inclosed,
ivy crowned structure which is the
chief pride of the Princeton of today.
What a history the old building has
had! On the velvety grass under its old
elms have lounged many generations Of
college students, scores of whom have
occupied high places in public esteem
and confidence and have helped to make
the history Of the nation. Around old
Nassau hall ragged some of the fierce
struggles of the Revolution, and its
walls were more than once pierced by
British cannon balls. They were built
to stand, though, and since then have
withstood other tests than those OF
time. Twice the hall has been Quilted
by fire, once in 1906 and again in 1855.
Then, in 1914, came the famous stu
dents revolt and the "'big cracker in
cidents. A number Of disaffected under
graduates filed a hollow log with gun
powder and exploded the novel bomb by
means of a fuse. The walls of the hall
were cracked from top to bottom, but
the general structure vas not materially
weakened and stands today, long after
most of the conspirators have passed
away.
Succeeding political events have left
their record in the history of Nassau
hall. Although New Jersey was not one
of the most loyal states during the
struggle for national liberty, the CONT

ing the bike about the place. Now,
then, the first thing is to mount, isn't
it?"
Eyes. You take hold of the handles
-so-and you make a spring into the
saddle-so-and away you go. Think
you "a do it?"
"Of course l can. The old gal is OPP
posed to my learning how to ride,
butt
MI. Bowser seized the handles and
sprang for the saddle. When he recov-
cred consciousness, he was on the broad
of his back in the dust, and Mr.. Kane
was tanning him with an old wash
board which he had found in the grass.
Has anything happened?' asked Mr.
Bowser as he looked around.
Nothing in particular. You were
tired and lay down to rest"
"Yes-I know see. l suppose you
used to do that way. Seen anything of
Mrs. Bowser?"
NO"
"Then trot up the health restorer
again. I'll put a little more spring into
my legs this time"
Mr.. Kane held the bike this time and
helped Mr.. Bowser to mount. He also
suggested that he walk alongside the
machine until the novice had got his
nerve, but Mr.. Bowser replied:
when we get around to that window,
you give me a shove down the slope
and let go. 1 see hVw she works, and I'll
surprise you. After I've made about
three circuits you can call Mrs. Bowser
up and I'll show her a scorch. They
call it 'scorching' when you beat creased
lightning, don't they?'
Eyes, l believe they do. Now, then,
I'm going to let 60"
LET 'er go'-rah-whoop''-
When Mr.. Bowser woke up this time
he was in his bed, while Mrs. Bowser sal
holding his hand and trying to lool
very sympathetic.
"This-this isn't heaven, is it," he
whispered, as he looked around.
"Oh, no, dear, replied Mrs. Bowser,
as she smoothed back his hair. "YoU
are still On earth. How do you feel?'
"Who hit me with a house?"

Mrs. Bowser realized that arguments
were useless, and she had nothing more
to say. The two men led the bike
down the road, and Mr.. Bowser rubbed
his hands and smiled and said:
"By George, but 1 know it's going
to make q new man of me! I'll buy one

ENTRANCE TO THE NEW LIBRARY.

ENTRANCE TO THE NEW LIBRARY
mental soldiers found a hearty welcome
at Princeton. In 1888 the continental
congress held its sessions in old Nassau
hall, and it is one of the first things that
a Princeton freshman learns that in that
year the congress was adjourned in or
der to attend in a body the college COM
mencement exercises. General Wash
ington was present and made the college
a gift of 90 guineas from his private
purse. Although the college was sadly
in need of the money for other purposes,
the loyal trustees Immediately expended
the sum in purchasing a full length
painting Of the donor and hung it in
place of a portrait of George III, whose
painted head had been pierced by a can
non ball as the picture hung on the
walls.
At the opening of the civil war the
Union flag was pulled down by some
southern students, but it wa promptly
hauled up again and remained there I'M
til 1865 without ever having been low
cred again.
When Nassau hall was completed, in
1856, it was the largest building in the
country. Today it is almost dwarfed by
some of the new buildings which have
been erected around it. The front and
sides are covered with ivy which each
succeeding class has planted. 1t is from
Nassau hall that the college colors were
derived, for it was named for that great
] nLn---;n, &c DrpApaka-A 1ihnrfu KSnr
William, third prince of Orange and
Nassau. So orange has been made the
official color Of the college. 1t appears
on everything the Princeton man owns,
from his diploma to his football sweater
or his rowing rig. 1t is combined with
black merely for the harmonious con
trast which is produced.
The one hundred and fiftieth ami,
versary, which is soon to be celebrated,
is to mark not only the closing of an
old era, but the beginning of q new one
for Princeton. From now on the insti'
tuition will be a university, and the
work will be extended to meet the add,
ed dignity. 1t is the aim of the trustees
to make Princeton the great American
center for pure learning in distinction
from places of technical instruction,
Endowments amounting to nearly 81,
900, 600 have been promised, and it il
expected that this sum will be exceeded,
These will be used in establishing new
chairs and feIlowships, and in erecting
new buildings to add to the magnificen'
group which already clusters AROUND
} old Nassau hall.
One of the most notable of these new
structures will be the new library which
is to be erected on the site of the OLE
chapel. That historic old structure ha
been torn down, and the corner Of TIN
campus ON which it once stood is now
scene of disorder. The new library will
