ReApINo-RooMs FOR BLIND.
sIghtless May Enjoy the Pleasures OF
Reading.

sIghtless May Enjoy the Pleasures OF
Reading.
A good work never stops. Since the
Congressional library at Washington
opened a reading room for the use OF
the blind-the first instance of the
kind known-its example has been
followed by public Libraries here and
there throughout the country, and the
sightless are no longer deprived OF the
pleasures of reading. In Washington
itself the work has widened in infu-
ence. The afternoon reading in THE
Pavilion of the Blind" as the reading
room is called. have been wonderfully
successful. There authors and singers
have come to give pleasure by readings
and music. and the blind chaplain OF
the house frequently devotes an AFTER
noon to the entertainment Of his com
panions in darkness. He has a softly
modulated voice, and often repeats
poetry Of a religious character. When
the episcopal convention was in ses-
sion in Washington, several Of the
bishops became very much interested
in this work for the blind. Bishop
Whipple and Bishop Whitehead read
twice during the week they were there,
and through their efforts and those of
Bishop Gilbert and DR.. Samuel Hart,
the prayer book was printed In the
New York Point system and placed in
The Pavilion" A very encouraging
thing is the interest manifested in the
work by the young ladies of Washing
ton. Amidst the distractions and de-
mands OF society they have found time
to minister to those less fortunate than
themselves. A committee of twenty
nVe have taken turns in escorting the
DIlnd people to and from the readings.
Several members of the committee
have learned the tedious system OF
writing in New York Point and Braille,
and have volunteered to copy in it the
leading magazine articles and stories,
and place them on the reading-tables
OF the Pavilion. One girl writes halt
dozen articles every month, and
binds them in little volume, which
she calls 1.-THE Meteor" She is we'll

SHEETS OF BREAD.
Indian Women Bake Them In the Amer.
lean Desert.

Indian Women Bake Them In the Amer.
lean Desert.
If you wish to dine off a sheet OF
bread, you must go to the great Am
erican desert and ask the women of
the Mokl Indians to bake it for you.
But If you are wise, you will not in
quire too closely into the details of
the process. The preparation of the
bread, in sheets hardly thicker than
a sheet of paper, is real art among
the Moki women. A corner in the
principal room is set aside for the ac-
commodation of shallow trough,
walled in with slabs of stone set on
end. The trough is divided into three
compartments, and in these the first
process of bread-making takes place.
When bread is to be made, a girl
kneels behind each compartment.
Shelled corn is then put on the fiat
stone in the first compartment, AMI
with a coarse oblong stone the first
girl proceeds to rub 1t. The coarse
meal thus prepared is passed on to the
next compartment Here it is again
rubbed with a stone less coarse, and
passed on to the third stage. The re-
suit is decidedly fioury meal. With
brush which is made of dried grass
bound together with string of cali
CO, and with which the floor is swept
between times, the meal is then gath
cred up and mixed with water to a
thick batter. Then comes in the art
OF the baker. She takes a single
handful of the batter and spreads it
over long, fiat stone, under which a
fire has been for some time burning.
The batter is made to cover thinly tho
entire surface. When one side is bak-
ed she takes the bread by corner
and pulls 1t off dexterously, turning
1t the other side up. When 1t is done,
long, fiat basket receives it, and the
baker turns the edges all around. Sc
that the air can get at it. Sheet after
sheet is baked until the basket is piled
high with the blue bread, or "piki,"
which the baker pronounces "peka."
No salt is used in the batter, and the
piki has sweetish taste. It is usual
ly blue, partaking of the color of the
corn from which it is made. 1t is eat
ell dry or in sort of SOUP When the
men go on journey they take piki
made into rolls, very much as one
would roll up sheet of wet paper, the
bread being of about the same thick
ness as the paper. The stones upon
I which the bread Is baked are prepared
by the old women of the tribe with
great secrecy and much ceremony.
They are very valuable, and are hand
ed down as heirlooms from mother to
daughter. The first stage in the pro-
cess, so says Popular Science News. is
smoothing and filling of the surface of
the stone with hot pitch. 1t is then
smoked and rubbed for many days.
with an accompaniment of rude chant
ing. As far as a white man may know
the first rubbing is with a smooth
stone, the next with pieces of wood,
while the finishing work is done with
the bare hands. The result is a let
black, smooth surface. to which the
piki does not stick in baking.

Tngersoll's Eulogy of Whisky.

II send you oue of the most wonder
full whisky that ever drove the skeleton

souls of wheat and corn. In it you will
find the sunshine and shadow that chased
each other over billowy fields, the breath
of June, the carol of the lark, the dew
of the night, the wealth of summer and
autumn's rich content, all golden with
imprisoned light. Drink it, and you will
hear the voice of men and maidens sing
