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 ana
there throughout the country, and the
sightless are no longer deprived OF the
pleasures of reading. In Washington
itself the work has widened in infiu-
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 softly
modulated voice. and often repeats
poetry of religious character. When
the Eppiscopal convention was in ses-
sion in Washington, several OF the

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
tho 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. committee Of twenty
i've have taken turns in escorting the
blind 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 half
a dozen articles every month, and
binds them in little volume, which
she calls "The Meteor" She Is well
repaid for her trouble by the eager
pleasure of the readers when the little
book appears.-Youth's Companion.

In an article on "The Art Of the
Age in Pearson's there is an inter-
osting reference to the early struggles
of famous artists. j. F. Millet, the
great French painter of peasant life,
for instance, only reached moderate
amount of comfort toward the end of
his life. Since his death his pictures
have sold for enormous sums, Ian

$4,000. Can we account for this? Mil
let was an artist consistently true to
himself never turning aside to do
what he considered was below the
standard he had set for himself. 1t
rot infreQuently happens that men of
strong personality produce work not
understood by the average man, and
as he Is the largest buyer Of pictures,
II follows that the artist is left to
eat his heart out or starve, as Millet
did for years, because he works out
side accepted conventions. Recently an
exhibition was held in London of the
works of the French romancist Mon
tecelli. His career was remarkable
enc, for from poverty and obscurity
his pictures suddenly became the
vogue, and for while he lived in opu-
lence; then they ceased to sell, and
he became little better than vagrant,
