 When the palms of almost 1.50O blind men, women and children werd trossed with $50 each yesterday they did not need eyes to see and know it was In gold, two SEQ pieces and one $10 piece. It was the annual tribute from the city in pity for their misfortune. and at the same time had practical side in that 1t aided in preventing the recipients from becoming public eharg es. One would have thought the world had lost it's sight and doubled it's own vision to see TOO blind persons feel their way to the office of Superinten dent Blair of the Outdoor Poor at Twenty-sixth street and East river They came from all directions and in many ways, those who were able walk ing alope and those who were not, led by children, whose faces had grown patient under the weight of their dread responsibility. And always and every where was the steady pat, pat, pat or 700 canes on the sidewalk, those who were led taking the center of the walk, and those who were alone being guided just as surely by the curb. The only difference was that the blind attended by children gave forward, sweeping motion to the canes, while those along the curb had cultivated an inward swing, so as to detect any post in the way of their halting steps. But all were in utter darkness; Only the warmth on the lids of their sightless eyes told them the sun vas shining on their uptnrned, expressiunless faces. City corporations must have souls, after all, to have done such good deed as that of yesterday, and as this city has done for years In annually distributing $75000 to the blind. IL must have been soul that did not even forget the little detail of paying them in gold, two $20 pieces and one S10 piece, so that they could know what they were, and need not be re- minded anew of a misfortune ever present in their inner thoughts Not satisfied with paying those who were able to make their way to the office. the weak and sick of the sightless were hunted Up at their homes all oyer the city. And there must have been a soul behind it when the corporation ordered i that all be paid the full amount freely and without question, and on the sama day7-the only really pleasant day to them in all the 365.-New York Press,

Some Queer Things Done by Pets and
 the Reason.
 Did you ever see your dog walking around and around in a circle? or course you have, but l don't expect you know why they do it. Years and years ago, more years than you can count, perhaps, the dogs were all wild like their cousins, the wolves, and had to beat out a hole in the grass or the snow before they could lie down. And the dogs have done the same way eyer since. They had to keep their noses clean, too, so they could small the rab- bits and other animals they ate, a long ways off. so they never let their noses touch the ground, going to sleep with their noses resting on their paws And they have done that ever since The cat is always washing herself and is known to be the cleanest of all the animals. We'll away back long ago the cats had to keep clean or the little ani- mals she waited patiently for would smell her long ways off and Kitty would have had to go hungry And cats a 'e the same today.

 Wedding rings are supposed to be always the same, but still the fashion of them has altered lately among smart people The newest brides are wearing plain gold cireiets which are about two-thirds narrower than those formerly worn. Jewellers are also showing new ring. When worn it is exactly like any conventional wedding ring. In reality it consists of tive separate gold bands, each made in a spiral. These fit so closely together as to form a perfect ring without visi- Die joint. This marriage ring is sym ooiieal of the joining of two into one.
