Helen Keller.

Helen Keller is a household name both
in America and foreign lands. She is
blind as well as deaf, That the walls OF
silence and darkness which shut her from
the world have been broken down, that
her soul has been set free, and the seal OF
silence taken from her lips, seems miracu-
ous to those who know not how it was
done. The limits of this article will per-
nit the briefest outline Of her story
Rendered both deaf and blind at nine
teen months by severe Illness she passed
the first seven years OF her life in silence,
darkness, and ignorance. Who could
have suspected the exquisite soul i'm
prisoned in that mute and darkened
body2 A bright, patient, loving woman
came, and the miracle began.
There was only one possible avenue Of
approach to the heleaguered soul. The
sense of touch remained, and to that the
teacher, Miss Annie M. Sullivan, adj
dressed her efforts. Through finger
spelling the child at length obtained the
idea oflanguage, and with this key other
doors could be unlocked. Having nat
uraIly fine mind, she learned rapidly
when once started, and developed phe
nomenal memory.
While Helen received information only
through manual spelling and in limited
amount, she never forgot To tell her
something was like writing it in book
When you wished the fact again months
or even years afterward, you had only to
ask for it. But later as she began to
read books, TO meet more people, and to
receive impressions through more chan
nels and in larger numbers, her memory
ceased to be so absolutely reliable.
Until she was eleven years of age her
only means OF communication was by
fnger-speing. Then at her own urgent
request she was given lessons in speech
by Miss Fuller, principal of the Horace
Mann school. The rapidity with which
she acquired the ability to speak was un-
precedented She soon abandoned finger
spelling as means Of expression, and
has ever since used speech alone.
But Others still had to communicate
with her by their fingers. She then ex-

The Best Spent Honey in the World.

The Best spent TlOney in the World.
When George Peabody thirty years
ago put in trust two million dollars to
be spent in furthering education in the
United States, he made undoubtedly the
wisest provision for the public good that
any similar benefactor ever made. Pres-
dent Gilman, chairman of the board sets
forth the history and results OF this great
fund in the February Atlantic In the
first place he used uncommon wisdom in
selecting the board of trustees. Although
the war had but recently ended, and men
were violently divided in their opinions,
he was broad enough to select alike men
from the north and men from the south.
He was wise enough not to restrict their
action, but to allow them to apply the
money to education as they pleased, ex-
pressing simply his conviction that it
would serve the best purpose by stimu-
lating educational work that was already
begun instead OF founding new institu-
tons.
Three presidents of the United States,
two chief justices of the supreme court,
and a number of other most eminent
men have felt it an honor to serve on
this board. 1t has been proved, there
fore, that the highest possible service can
be secured for public end without pecu-
MARY consideration if the aim be high
The income from these two millions OF
dollars was to be devoted as the trustees
saw fit, for thirty years, and at the end
OF thirty years they were themselves to
decide whether they should continue
longer to distribute this income, or
whether the principal also should be APP
piled to education and the trust wound
up. The trustees have recently unani-
mously concluded to continue the pay
ment of the income.
During these thirty years $780, 900
have been spent in furthering education,
chiefly in the southern states; and it is
a modest estimate of the results to say
that a complete revolution has been
brought about. Less than thirty years
ago twenty-five per cent of the whites in
twelve southern states were illiterate,
and now only sixteen per cent. Thirty
years ago eightvse seven per cent OF the
blacks were illiterate and now only sixty
two per cent. In Virginia in 1870 there
were only $1,000 pupils in the public
schools, now there are 35600o These
are specimens Of the results which have
been brought about more by reason OF
this great donation than from any other
single cause.
A result of another sort has followed
Mr.. Peabody S wise action, for John F.
Slater's donation of million dollars to
the education of the freedmen was di
rectly suggested by it. These two great
benefactions for public education are be-
lieved to be without precedent or par.
allel in the history OF the use OF great
fortunes for the public good. They have
become historic asev evidences ofthe breadth
of American philanthropy.
Once year, when the board of trustees
of the Peabody fund meets, following the
suggestion of the founder, they dine to.
gether. At the conclusion of the dinner
in most proper and solemn manner, the
chairman proposes as a sentiment the
Memory of the Founder, which the com
pany drinks in silence.

If we could trace dyspepsia to it's
source, it would lead back to our kitchens.
In fact, the secret of good health is good
cooking. If well cooked, foods are
partially digested; if poorly cooked, they
are less digestible than in their ra w state.
If you are victim of faulty cooking
that is, if you suffer from dyspepsia, the
rational cure must be looked for in an
arti6cially digested food, and food
which will at the same time aid the di-
gestion of other foods. Such a prep
aration virtually rests the tired digestive
organs, thereby restoring them to their
natural strength.
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared by
the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is just
such preparation, and a single 10 cent
bottle will convince you of its value. II
your druggist doesn't keep it, he will be
glad to get it through his wholesale
house.
