Methods Of tho Blind.

The blind man has to depend almost
entirely on the accuracy of his ears to
guide him wherever he may wish to go,
and it Is remarkable in what a short
time he becomes familiar with a new
locality and fresh surroundings
Few people are aware Of the powers
Of the ear, but the blind, through con-
slant exercise OF that organ, are able to
discover objects almost as rapidly as a
seeing person
For instance, when walking in a per-
feet calm, he can ascertain the proxim-
ity Of objects by the feeling of the at
mosphere upon his face. 1t would seem
at first that the echo given back, were
1t only from his breathing, might be
sensible to his ear, but it has been as
certained by experiment. that a blind
man with his ears stopped can tell when
any large object is close to his face,
rel when it approaches 30 slowly as
not to cause any sensible current Of air.
When he is walking along the street,
he can tell whether it is wide or mar
row. whether the houses are high or
low, if any opening which he may be
passing Is a court closed up at the end
or whether it has an outlet to another
street. and he a tell by the sound of
his footsteps in what lane. or court. or
square he is.
He goes along boldly, seeming to see
with his ears and to have landmarks in
the air. OF course no blind man likes
to go over a new route unattended, but
after he has traversed it once he knows
every point of Importance to him.

SMITH,.

Here Is the scheme by Which He Grew
Rich Shoeing Horses.
II lived at il little crossroads hamlet
which was not even a postotflce, on the
line between New York state and Penn
sylvania, said a story teller TO a Sioux
City Journal reporter. "Of course, there
was a blacksmith shop there. In those
days the blacksmith s trade was a noto-
riously good one. All the blacksmiths
rot rich with their horse, mule and OK
shooting, and the wagon and the other
repair work which they did. Most OF
the blacksmiths combined with their
other work wagon repairing and even
wagon making. There were very few
big wagon factories in those days, II
n good hand made wagon cost big mon
ty. When they were doing nothing else,
they would make wagons, and when
there was lots of transient work the
wagons had to wait. This state line
shop was a busy place. There was no
tavern there, but the blacksmith also
had a cider press, and he made the cider
for all the farmers for miles around.
But neither this nor the profits Of his
shor could garruGt for the rapid way
in which he accumulated wealth. As is
well known, apple cider, if allowed to
stand long enough, will become hard"
and after that it will turn into vinegar.
This cider dealer always had plenty
of hard cider on hand, but never had
any vinegar for sale. The farmers and
others who stopped at his place could
always get a drink of hard cider, which
they took out Of a tin dipper at 10 cents
a drink, and the size Of the drink was
something which attracted very little
attention. Hardly any kind of beverage
Is more intoxicating than hard cider. 1t
is a good deal like champagne in one
respect. You can drink a great deal Of
1t one day, and the next day you will
be awfully sick and sorry, and a good
deal drunken than when you went to
bed. The blacksmith required no license
to sell hard cider, and he worked the
game to the limit. His place became
very popular, and the farmers came
from many miles around in both states
to get their horses shod at his place.
Many Of them would ONE home drunk,
and their wives began to protest. They
always had to have some excuse for hav-
ing visited the state line shop, and so
the blacksmith, after supplying them
with a few dipperfuls Of hard cider,
would take the shoes off their beasts
and put on new ones. whether they
needed it or not For this service he
would charge a good round price, while
in many instances it was noticed he
made nc charge for the cider.
"But, as is the way of all flesh, this
blacksmith died one day. and then his
business secrets came out. He left an
estate of over $50, 900. and in the cellar
of the cider press a great number of
empty whisky barrels were found. For
years he had been putting whisky into
his cider and had been setting new
shoes on nearly every horse which came
along, willy uilly. "-Washington Star.

enemy the who spits In public places. They
have forwarded n formal application TO President
Bcrr of the Board OF Bridge Trustees. asking him
TO place signs in conspicuous places, calling down
the terrors of tho law upon all those who have
been in the habit CT splitting on the Bridge prop
erty. As no smoking is allowed on the Bridge
cars It Is believed that no splitting Will be IN
dulged in there. But IN the terminals the women
want to some prohbitve legislation displayed
In prominent manner.
Mr.. Berri has endeavored TO make the literary
adornments the walls OF the terminals nof-
fensive and inconspicuous possible To this end
he had the rather prominent advertisements OF the
various railroad lines removed. and replaced by
several modest signs which. in a neutral manner.
point out the way 10 the cars. Other advertise
ments were removed altogether Now, whether
Mr.. Berri will want to force upon the at
tenton Of the Bridge patrons collection OF large
type signs-for II they are to be effective they
must be striking and numerous-bear!ng the sug-
geston that splitting must not be INDUCED In. Is an
open question He has decided. however. to refer
