the place of fear. It seems simple. but the first and most important lesson to be learned by the adult blind is to walk alone.
 It is interesting to know that long after the juvenile blind had been taught. trained and equipped for an active place in the world. the adult blind were regarded as incapable of re- lief. The first attempt to temper their condition was made by the authorities of the Catholic Church in France. From that beginning the effort extend ed, with but little substantial success until those blind from infancy were brought into it as guides and instruct ors of their elder brethren in distress. From that point great progress has been made. It began a career for the juvenile blind, who as teachers and superintendents of institutions for the adult blind, found a most honorable and useful and expert occupation for their trained faculties, and in them the adult blind found their best instructors, friends and companions.

 The State institution for the blind in Ohio was founded by MT. Penniman: III I6nHeSScc Dy meSSIS. -SHdmpl1u dHU Sturtevant; in Mississippi by MT. Champlin; Indiana by MT.

 In the United States sixteen persons of that class had achieved great suc- cess as superintendents of these places up to 1878, and since that date many have been added to the list. including MT Sanders in California.
 Besides these public or State inStitu- tions, there are many others of a pri- vate or only quasi public character, run exclusively by blind men. The greatest of these and one of the great est in the world is Halls institution in Philadelphia. His great product is brooms. By my last report from him he had just bought seven hundred tons of broom corn, to be manufactured by his blind handicraftsmen this winter His shops and markets have been con- tinually increased and extended for years, though he is in competition with some of the largest broom shops in the world, and with cheap labor and prison labor

 iSh Yacht Club. He arranged her sail ing plan, the cloth she should carry in the various conditions of the wind she was likely to encounter on the racing waters of the lower bay at New York.
 When the great race was sailed in the presence of tens of thousands, the blind builder of the fleet victor in the contest stood on the deck of steamer by the side of his secretary, and. turn ing his face to the wind to judge it's velocity, would note its changes and re- peat the instructions of his sailing plan as to what sails should be spread and what furled to meet the changes in the breeze. Of the thousands whose feelings vibrated and thrilled as the fortunes of the white-winged racers waxed or waned, but few knew that the blind builder. standing in everlast- ing darkness. watched the race with sensibilities as keen as anv and that his sense of proportion, aided only by touch. had brought into form the fleet winner in the greatest race ever sailed.

 As a teacher and superintendent 1t is probable that he has had but few peers among the blind, and as merchant, business man and manufacturer. many who are not handicapped by the loss of any of their senses might sit at his feet and learn. When he left the in- stitution in December, 1895, it had an export trade in brooms to Central 4.merica, Australia, Hawaii and British Columbia, and the demand for it's product was so great that the blind mechanics were working overtime to supply it. Then a visitor could have the singular and interesting experience of going into large shon at night. unlighted, and occupied by nearly eighty mechanics, whistling at their work, while the hum and hustle of busy industry rose out of the dark

And I have seen this patient blind teacher day after day encourage them, until the brain at last took control of the clumsy hand and it acquired a finer touch, and tears were dried, hope lighted the sad face, and it seemed verily' that their path was blessed and had led them in darkness to world where there was no more sorrow, nor crying, nor pain, and all tears were wiped away.
 There came to him in that institution a deaf and dumb and blind boy, the only child of a dependent widow. As he grew older and grew dearer to her heart, for our best affections go to the little ones and helpless in our homes, he taxed her. forlorn resources more and more. MT. Sanders took him to the shop. No word of instruction could pass the ears of the lad. for he lived in a world of everlasting silence and dark ness.

In like manner they feel the presence of a pit into which they might fall or cliff over which they might plunge. Their step is free and firm. They acquire knowledge of locality and learn the streets tf a city or country highways as readily as those who see.

Under various systems books are printed for their use, either with raised letters or with points on the same plan as the first telegraphic printing. These books now make up a fairly complete library of literature and science. They learn to write to each other, using a stylus to impress the points upon the paper.

 Those who become blind in infancy become the instructors of the adult blind. They live in an arms length world, bounded by what they can touch. That is their horizon. Sounds come to them from beyond it's borders, but they are like sounds that might be heard below and beyond the horizon; that l. seen by the eye. In this narrow world of touch those who lost sight in infancy receive the unfortunate who lose it in age.

 In Boston a blind surgeon took his training i'll the dissecting room, learned the anatomical structure of the body by touch, and practiced successfully performing many of the major surgical operations as skillfully as any member of his profession. One of the profes- BOTS of mathematics at Harvard was blind man, whose genius grasped the whole science of numbers and imparted it to his classes unaided by vision. In New York there is a blind sculptor, who modelled in clay what is regarded by critics as the best portrait bust ever made of Washington Irving. This sightless sculptor modelled and received the contract for one of the most elabor- ate monuments erected in that State tu commemorate the soldiers of our civil war.
 In Nebraska Professor Bacon, the founder of several institutions for the blind, runs large stock farm, and has made a competence by the breeding Of neat cattle. No man is a keener judge of the points of live stock than he. and his judgment is sought by others in the same business.
 One of the great institutions for the blind in England was founded by a blind American. who first attracted at tention in Europe by making the ascent of Mont Blanc.
