Massage Tor, tho Blind.

DR.. Arthur Y. Bennett recentlyread
paper before the New York State
Medical Association upon Massage
as an Occupation for the Blind" in,
which he called attention to the large
and increasing number OF, blind per-
sons, most of whom are dependent up
on others for their support, and said
that the estimated number in this
country is $4,000, of which 1898 are
in this State. In order that many Of
these may become self-supporting, he
advocates that they be taught massage
in the State institutions, being trained
in the anatomy and physiology OF the
body before they learn the practical
work. He considers that the peculiar
delicacy of touch which the blind pos
sess makes them especially fit for this
kind Of work.

1t is a curious fact that the present
session of Congress contains no negro
member. With the exception of a
brief period from 1887 to 1889, this is
the first session in thirty-two years
when this has been the case. The first
eolored man to be sent to Congress was
J. Willis Menard, Of New Orleans, who
was elected to fill a vacancy in 1868.
In 1870 Hiram R. Revells took his seat
In the Senate, the first negro to be
seated in that body. Blanche K. Bruce
was the only other negro to enter the
Senate In the Forty-fourth Congress,
which sat from 1875 to 1877. there
were eight colored members.

Harper's Weekly observes that,
coming as Mr.. Marconi's successful
experimentation does at the end Of
this first year of the new century, we
may entertain the notion that 1901
has set pace for the years that are
to follow which they will find it diff
cult to surpass or even maintain. NJ.
Santos-Dumont has mastered the heav-
ems; Mr.. Holland has imperilled the
secrets Of the sea; Professor Pupin
has won fame and fortune by his dis
coveries and inventions in submarine
telephony, and now Mr.. Marconi caps
the climax of the scientific achieve
ments Of the year by projecting the
letter rs" from one pole to another
through 1000 miles of space, thereby
establishing the practical utility of his
wonderful theories.

Curing the Stammering Habit

A new method of curing the stam-
mering habit is being advocated. 1t
is based upon the alleged fact that
stammerers rarely If ever show any
impediment of speech when talking in
a whisper. What may be called the
whisper cure" is as follows: For the
first ten days the suffering person is
not allowed to speak at all. This al
lows rest for the vocal cords and Is
the first stage in the cures After ten
solid days of absolute silence the pa
tient is allowed to speak, but only in
a whisper. He generally is kept In
this second stage for space Of fifteen
days, sometimes more, sometimes less,
according to the severity OF his case.
After the whisper period is passed.
the patient is allowed gradually to in
crease the tone of his voice until
conversational one is reached. This
Is the most critical period of the cure,
and the transition from the whisper
to the conversational tone must be
very gradual. There is certainly one
thing to be said for the new cure; 1t
does not cost anything, and any stam-
merer can try it for himself without
calling in a medical adviser. The
only objection might be that the pre-
liminary ten days of silence might
interfere with the patients prosecut-
ing his usual business. He might,
however, try 1t when on his next va
cation.

A WOMAN's DESIRE.

Who can tell what woman wants2
She is a creature of words and kisses.
The big things count with her as
naught-
It's the little ones that she misses.
A bunch of violets, a fond caress,
Means more than thousand of gold
A loving glance, a touch of a hand,
To her dear story unfold.
And she doesn't care if he's wretchedly
poor,
II he loves her, and her alone;
And the flower and the kiss and the soft
caress
For creature comfort oft atone.
But If he thinks his duty done
When he clothes her and gives her
food,
He will lind rebellious heart to fight
In the woman whom he has wooed
And day by day, as the years go by,
And the chasm wider grows,
lie will wonder how and where he fail
ed,
But it's the woman alone who
knows.
