HELEN kELLER.s TOUCH.
1t Partly Serves the Deaf and Blind Girl
In Plnce of Enrr md Eyes.

1t Partly Serves the Deaf and Blind Girl
In Place of Ears and Eyes.
THE delicacy of Helen Keller's sense
OF touch is certainly keen, but It's keen
ness has unquestionably been dsvel-
oped from merely normal founda-
tion," writes Joseph Edgar Chamber
lin. of Helen Keller, the deaf ana blind
prodigy, in the May Ladies' Home
Journal. "She hears, us she expresses
it-that is, feels-a football on the floor
of the room and distinguishes foot
falls which differ markedly from one
another. Last summer, when she was
taking her exercise one day by walking
up and down the yeranda, was seated
in chair near the door, and a little
child, barely n year old but able to
walk freely, came walking lightly out
upon the veranda. Helen stopped at
once, and coming up to me and touch
ing my lips asked, rs Marion hereT
l answered Yes Helen smiled and
said. I thought l felt soft sound.
She is particularly sensitive to musical
vibrations. She is fond Of holding her
hands against plano when 1t Ia being
played, and her face shows keen pleas
ure while she is thus occupied. She
distinguishes between high chords and
low chords struck on piano. but her
sense OF feeling does not distinguish
between major and minor chords nor
between concordant and discordant
sounds. 1t is to be borne In mind that
she has no remainder of hearing what
ever the drums of her ears being rup-
tured
"A great deal has been said and writ
ten about her power of recognizing
people by the touch of the hand. She
certainly does recognize all her friends
readily by shaking the hand, and
sometimes recognizes mt a second meet
ing, and some time afterwnrd. a person
whom she has met but once before. |
have studied this accomplishment of
hers good deal, and am convinced
that she recognizes her acquaintances
not by the feeling of the hand, but by
the slight individual or characteristic
movement or movements of each per-
son."

ANNAPOLIS CADETS.
Now on Their summer Trip In Foreign
Waters.


Waters.
One of the most pleasant things
about being an Annapolis cadet is the
chance they have of going on summer
cruises. The second class men are now
aboard an old-fashioned sailing vessel,
such as was used by our navy before
we had steam warships. These young
men are required to do the work of
common sailors; in fact. they do every
thing there Is to be done on the boat
They started In June, and will return
in September. They stop for a week
or 80 at Plymouth, England. and ar
rangements have been made for them
to spend few days in London. Then
they sail for Lisbon, Portugal, and the
boys are wondering how Spain's neigh
bors will receive them. After that they
go to Gibraltar, ana then home again.
OF course there is good deal of fun
to be got out OF the trip, and great
deal to see; but 1t is part Of their
four years course at the naval acad-
emy, and they have to work hard
scrubblng decks and taking in sails,
and the slightest disobedience is pun
ished. Before they left this country
they stopped off Hampton Roads for a
few days and went through lot of
drilling, including the "deserting Of the
Ship" In this drill the crew puts pro-
visions In the small boats, launch them
and row away toward land. just as they
would have to do If the ship took fire
or were in a sinking condition.

The Armory was the scene last night
of much mirth and jollity. The occas-

crowd Of people present proved oonclu-

city is being augmented every year.
The grand march OF the Turner's and
their friends did not occur until about
$3.50 o'clock and then sixty four couples
participated, although the crowd was
greatly increased at a latter hour in the
evening, many not arriving to take part
In the grand pageant OF the maskers.

again at 5:15 o'clock in the afternoon
came a succession OF shocks. lasting

and knelt in prayer, or focked under the

ters to support themselves and all the
busy life Of the great city came to a sud
den stop. The national palace cracked
in eleven places, and in some places
sidewalks were broken. Electric light
wires and telephone cables swung like
loose ropes in the gale. Horses and
mules drawing street cars stopped and
braeed themselves to resist the trembling
under their feet.

THE MiLLER's POEM.
BY DIR. K, F. ELDxIDaE.

AT peace with all the world;
The engines pulse had ceased to throb
The wheels no longer whirled;
He dreamed OF future happiness;
OF wealth his toll would gain;
OF bales Of empty sacks to fill,
OF cars Of golden grain.
He saw his business, steady grow,
AS fast the city spread;
He saw his helpmeet by his side,
The one that he had we'd;
He saw teeming, happy throng,
Come crowding to our vale,
To reap harvest from the soil,
Where efforts seldom fail.
He heard the rumble of the train,
And smelled the pungent smoke
That drlfted thro' the open sash;
With startled cry he woke
To find the mill all wrapped in flames
Whieh seemed to dance with glee
AS fast they fed upon the wealth,
Like some devouring sea.
The night is lighted by the glow,
That tints the murky sky.
As tongues Of angry, seathing flames
Are seen to leap on high.
Half frenzied by the awful sight
He rushes hardly clad,
To save the mill, now doomed to fall,
Before the deamons, mad.
All efforts prove Of no avail
For soon, q smoldering hill
Is all that's left to mark the spot
Where stood the stately mill.
The blow has fallen like . clod
Upon his Joyous dream:
His hopes have vanished In the smoke
And kissing clouds Of steam.
Tho dazed at first he soon revives
And with a cheering word
Ayers "the mill shall be rebuilt.
Scarce are his orders heard
Before score Of willing hands
Are deftly brought to use
To clear away the burning grain,
The debris and refuse.
The wall is laid! the bentp 60 up!
A story soon is raised,
Another quickly climbs aloft
Where once the old Mill blazed,
And then third soon blossoms forth,
Against the southern sky
AS through the shives the smokin
ropes.
The timbers raise on high.
Almost before the denizens
Have thought the thing begun
The roof is keeping out the storm:
In fact the mill is done,
And we have met to warm it up
In good old fashioned style,
So let US do the thing up brown
'Tis surely worth our while.
And as we warm the miller's mill
Well warm his heart as we'll,
Then warm the planks beneath our
feet.
And let our actions tell
That we rejoice to see the mill;
The mill that's large and new;
And clasp the hands Of millers
three,
With hearts so brave and true.
Now may the "grist" be bountiful
That to their rollers come:
The "tolr' not less than Justice meets;
The "gain" a goodly sum.
MAY friendship, like the growing grain
Be stronger every day;
Now il you'll choose your partners
Well let the music play.

NORTHERN HOTEL IN
BUFFALO BURNED
Inmates, Who We're Employees,
Save Their Lives.
No Guests in the House When the
Fire Broke Out.
Ladders md Ropes Used as a Means
of Escape From Perishing
in the BIaze.

Buffalo, n. Y, March 27.-Fire broke
out in the Chicago Hotel, otherwise known
as the Northern Hotel at $3.50 O'Clock this
morning. At that hour the inmates were
fast asleep and the blaze made such rapid
headway that their escape was almost
miraculous.
The fire was discovered by Proprietor
Young. Awakened by a sense of suffoca-
tion he jumped out of bed and throwing
open his bedroom door found the Railways
and stairways aHame and smoky. He stop
ped long enough to shout fire and then
was driven by the flames to a windo ",
whence he escaped to the sidewalk. Brief
as Young's alarm was. it proved sufficient
to arouse the other inmates of the house.
These were employees of the hotel, no
guests happening to be within.
Cora Smith, chambermaid, and Albsrt
Mather escaped by means of a rope. Mrs.
Armstrong, cook, escaped by way of a lad
der. Emma Smith, sewing girl, was on
the point of jumping from a third story
window but was rescued by Fireman
Cavanaugh.
All the inmates were supposed to have
been rescued, and the whole interior of the
hotel was wrapped in flames, when a wo-
mans form was seen at a window on the
Washington Street side. 4 ladder was
quickly raised and the woman, Edna Dow
barmaid, WAS brought in safety to the
