A certain writer, entirely unknown In
the literary world, wrote very spirited
poem, and, more in jest than otherwise,
marked $50 as the price of it, inclosed
it to an editor and calmly awaited Its
return.
To his great surprise the editor re-
piled, inclosing a check for $50: you
come high, but we must have you"
OF course the writer thought his for
tune was made If he got $50 for that
particular poem why not $50 for an
other? He would keep up the price.
And he did.
But the editor didn't! r.#
For six months he labeled his pro-
ductons $780, but they came back to
him with painful regularity. Even the
editor who first paid him that price
didn't try it on again.
He had framed the check, for just the
satisfaction of looking at it occasional
ly But finally he was compelled to
cash it, in order to satisfy the grocery
man, who had no literary leanings.
But he got even at last. He sent off
ten poems to different publications

the ten at that price. O.

SENSES OF THE BLIND.
German Iconociast Demoiishcs Long
Established Belief.

The Lancet: long series Of expert
ments has recently been made by Prof.
II. Grlesbach, Of Basle. upon the rela-
tive acuteness Of the senses Of hear
Ing, touch. taste and smell in the case
Of the blind ami those who possess
normal vision. The results are con-
tained in Pnugers Archiv The obser-
vaions were made on those who were
otherwise healthy. In the differentia-
tlon of tactic inprccaions no remark
able differences were observed between
the seeing end the blind. or II small
differences did exist they were in favo:
Of the seeing. In those born blind the
tactile sharpness was somewhat less
than in the seeing and in some cases
the sensorium generally was equally
defective Tho blind in particular feel
less acutely with the tip of the index
fagcr than do these who see, and in
many cases the tactilc ncuteness OF the
two index finger tips differs. In the
blind. especially in the region OF the
hand. a stronger impression Is re-
CURED to produce n tactic impression
than in those possessed OF sight. In
the capabllity Of localizing impressions
of sound no difference exists between
the blind and the seeing In both
great individual variations occur. AS
rule, both in the seeing and the
Blind the Use OF the organ OF both
sides gives better results than the use
OF one alone No difference in the
acuteness of hearing exists between the
blind and those who see. No relation
was observed between the acuteness
OF hearing and the power OF localizing
sounds in either the seeing or the
blind. No difference was observed in
the two classes in regard to the acute
ness of smell In the execution OF
manual labor the blind become ia
tigued sooner than do those of equal
age who see. The blind are more IA
tigued with manual than with mental
work, which is not the case with the
seeing Of the came age. If any differ
cnco exists in regard 10 exhaustion af
ter mental labor 1t is in favor OF those
of the same age who see. Both among
the blind and the seeing there are
persons who have many, others who
have only few, and others again who
have no illusory or erroneous impress
sions OF touch. These results are in
many respects opposed to generally re-
ccived opinions, for it is usually sup
posed that deprivation OF sight leads
to eXaltation of the acuteness of the
other senses, especially of the touch
and hearing.

United stnter Pension Roll.

On June 80, 1898. the pension rolls
OF the United States contained 993, ia
names. Forty-three thousand were
dropped during the fiscal year-34 ,345
because Of death and S,S41 because OF
remarriage. On the other hand, 40,99l
new claims were allowed, so that the
number of pensions stood on June 30
last at 991 ,519. The decrease in ex.
penditure during the year was much
more marked, the total falling from
s144 ,651 900 in lS97-9S to s13S, ,253 900 In
1S9S-99. This last is the smallest sun
disbursed since the new conditions
created by the dependent act have had
to be faced, and reasonable assurance
of a further natural shrinkage in the
annual expenditures is to be found in
the fact that $4,000, 600 less were paid
out last year than three years ago
when the list OF pensioners was fully
21 1000 shorter than it is today How
slight an addition to pension burdens
the war with Spain will make may be
guessed from the statement that, al
though 1896 claims have been filed
for disabilities incurred in that brief
contest, only 295 have so far been
passed on favorably. Altogether, the
outlook for "A diminished pension ac-
count has greatly improved.
