Circulating Library for the Blind.

Few people know that Brooklyn can
boast of one of the queerest OF queer
institutions--a circulating library for
the blind. Moreover, it is fourishing
and its patrons come from three cities
New York, Brooklyn and Jersey
City. 1t is the only circulating library
of this nature in the United States
or the world, for that matter. Its 1000
volumes are largely made up ofstandard
fiction and poetry. for it is q peculi-
arity of the blind that they are pas.
sionately fond of poetry. Established
q few years ago through ASSOC legacy,
ithas grown enormously in popularity.
No feels charged those who take books,
and the institution is practically with
out rules. Patrons are not required
to give surety for their responsibility,
but, despite this apparent lack of all
system, not book has been lost since
the library came into existence. An
other peculiar feature is that the lib.
rary is located in church, the Church
of the Messiah, and the assistant pas
tor thereof is the librarian. Perhaps
1000 volumes may not seem very big
library, but when it is considered that
such q book as "Barnaby Rudge, ="
when printed for the blind, makes live
volumes and costs $40, it will be seen
that thousand books means consid-
erable outlay.-Detroit Free Press.

BEGINNING OF Human Speech.

We have all had our laugh at the
''Bow-wow and Baa-Baa" theory OF
language, and now no less an authority
than Professor A. r. Wallace revives
it in measure in an article entitled
"The Expressiveness OF Spech," to be
read in the Fortnightly Review. As
Wallace studies this, the!beginning of
human speech, animal cries and the
imitation of them have nothing to do
with mans first words. There may
be, of course, initiative words, which
man acquired from bird, but our
authority believes words were first de.
rived from facial expressions, or. as
he calls it, mouth gesture. Wallace
says that his attention was first di.
rected to the subject by noticing that
the Malays, when talking. indicated
direction by pouting out their lips. "
This is q mouth gesture by no means
unused by civilized people to-day.
Studying our own words, as "there''
and "that," the French ala" and
"cela," the German "da" and "das,
he found that in pronouncing them
'the mouth had to be opened and the
lips naturally protruded." Mr.. Wal
lace draws many strange inferences
from particular organs. The subject,
as he says, is fascinating one, not,
however, we think, easy to follow, be-
cause the imaginative faculty must be
strongly present.-New York Times.

Proof OF What He Saw.

We are not likely to have that long

man has patented camera which is

this the amateur sportsman will be en-.

he has shot an unoffending COW in
place Of the expected bear. or brought
down his best friend instead OF brace
of birds. 1t will photograph the ex.
act spot at which the gun was aimed,
and will enable q huntsman thus to
see whether he wounded or killed the
thing at which he shot. The device is
easily removable, and the hunters
breast pocket serves as "dark room"
for the records OF his skill. New Or

Cured the Horse.

A young man in Alexandria visited
Washington few days ago and while
here purchased preparation for cur.
ing horses of baking. He owns a
handsome animal that has this fault,
although otherwise it is very desir.
able horse. The preparation was to
be applied to the Aanks and was
guaranteed. He tested it upon work
horse he possessed and it operated to
perfection. Then he invited young
lady to go riding with him, and hitch.
ing his handsome horse to buggy,
started. When hill was reached he
applied the remedy. A moment later

and the girl tainted, then the dash.
board fell in, followed by crash as
the floor of the buggy received blow
from the horses hoofs. At this juno.
ture the animal started ahead, as tho
seller OF the remedy hae guaranteed.
He took the shafts and front wheels
with him, but left the rest Of the
vehicle and the occupants in the road.
The couple walked three miles to their
homes in silence, and the young man
called upon q lawyer yesterday to
ascertain how much he can recover
from the man who sold him the stuff,
as a recompense for the loss Of the
buggy and the affections of the girl

When Royalties Rise.

With the exception of Queen Vic
toria and the Prince of Wales, it Is
said that nearly all the royalties of
Europe are in the habit OF rising
early. The Emperor William is gen.
orally about by five in the morning,
and the Queen Regent of Spain is
dressed for the day at sharp seven.
King Humbert's hour of rising il
six, as is that of King Oscar and King
Charles of Roumania, while the late
Emperor Dom Pedro of Brazil. when
in Europe, was wont to get mp at
three and call upon his friends and
acquaintances at the extraordinary
hour OF four or Ave in the morning.
Queen Victoria, it is said, never
rises before eight, while breakfast at
Marlborough House and Sandringham
is rarely partaken of before ten. -

BarefOoted Weddings.

It is not far from Washington to the
mountains where people live in the
most primitive style. j. @. Moffett,
the wall-known correspondent, went
into Mcdowell County, West Virginia,
on professional trip, and among the
stories he did not write, but reserved

He stopped at log cabin and was
soon ON good terms with his host, who
after supper said:
"Stranger. I reckon yo' won't hev

"What is up?" queried the news.
paper man.
"Goin' ter be weddin'. Reckon
yo' kin go with me an the ole

The invitation was accepted and the
three started for a five-mile walk over
the mountain. When they reached the
cabin that was the centre of festivities,
cracked fiddle could be heard, aud
several men hung around the doors
and windows, for none but the dane
ers could be admitted inside.
They were met by rough noun
tsineer, to whom the newspaper mans
presence was explained.
"That's all right" said the new
conner, "but thar's one thing. Yo'
see the bride an groom air po', very
po', an they never wore no shoes befo'
Christmas in thar lives an hain't got

minutes later the correspondent and

to pick splinters out OF their feet

Red Tabby Cats.

the most interesting exhibits which
she saw in Europe was the National
Cat Show of England. which was held

which about seven hundred cats we're
shown. "The decided feature of the
exhibition" she said, "was the num-
ber of superb red tabbies, together
with fine assortment of pure blacks,
smoke-colored cats, and cats with that
peculiar tone of glossy coat known as
cat blue. The efforts of the English
cat breeders this past year have been
blue and black cats. In the opinion
of many experts, black cat without
