UNCLE SANS BLIND READERS,
vnnta@es to BE Obtained In the
Pavilion of the Blind.


On the ground floor of the northwest
corner of the Congressional library al
W9shingtonis the pavilion of the blind
which is the first reading-room of its
kind ever established in any public Ii
brary. In Woman's Home Companion
Abby G.. Baker describes the benefcent
department, saying:
after the establishment Of the read
iag-room other attractions were added
Every afternoon, from October until
June, readings, interspersed once a
week with musicals, are given there
from half-past two until ,>half-past
three o'clock. This has proven to be
a most happy thought, and many OF
the most distinguished people of the
country who live in Washington or
chance to be there have given little
Of their time in this manner to bright
en- the lives Of the sightless hearers.
This was the beginning, but the rec
ord which is kept of the readings con-
tains many notable names. The blind
chaplain of the house frequently gives
an afternoon to the entertainment Of
his companions in darkness, and they
always enjoy him. He has softly
modulated, sweet voice, and he often
repeats poetry Of religious tone to
them.
The musicals occur every Wednes-
day, and while many of the professional
musicians have taken part in them they
are usually conducted by the blind
themselves. The love of music and the
gift Of producing it seems to be one
Of the compensating providences for
the sightless. A handsome grand pi-
ano has been donated for the benefit
of the sightless. Several OF the butter
flies Of society have learned the tedi-
Gus system of writing IN New York
Point and Braille, and have volun-
teered to copy in 1t the leading maga-
zine stories and articles, and place
them on the reading tables of the pa
vilion, where all Of the sightless vis-
itors may have the pleasure of reading
them. In this manner one earnest
purposed young woman writes half
dozen articles every month, and binds
them in little volume which she calls
The Meteor but the result is more
than meteorie In the benefit it is to
its eager readers. Another young girl
gives an hour twice each week reading
music 20 the pianist, and it is aston
ishing the number of pieces the latter
commits in this way"
