Helen Keller, the wonderful blind and
deaf girl, whose autobiography is pub
lisbed this month, spoke before a COM
mittee of the Massachusetts, legislature
the other day, and the largest committee
room in the state house was crowded to
hear her. She spoke with rush of speech
which is characteristic of her, says the
Boston Transcript; her voice, which she
has learned to use mechanically, did not
seem quick enough to express her flowing
ideas. She spoke for state aid to the I'M
employed adult blind, who, she thinks,
should be trained for employment which
they would have some reasonable assur-
snce OF securing afterward. "The Story
OF My Life" published by Doubleday
Page & Co., is the autobiography of the
girl, who is wondered at the world over,

Dear Aunt Madge:

Dear Aunt Madge:
often think how selfish 1t Is to accept the
good things offered us In the N. b. c. and give
nothing In return. How easy for some TO give

sentiments but cannot express them. But If ali

forward and give VA the beet they have, what
would become of our NJ. B. column?

and counsel we receive. IL does not matter

Dear AEas kddee:
The thought came to me while writing the
enclosed poem. that If we who are Els children
should live each day as though we expected the
Master at night, how much stronger our lives
wonl1 tell for Him.
How many of US go on, day after day, fretsing
because we cannot do great thIngs for Christ.
and leaving andone so many things we call
little
Though we may not have the talent or means
as some have TO do great things, we can ali give
the ''cgp of cold water, and the little things
done In His name are precious to Him as the
great.
Ii Ia the daily consecrsied life which Jesus
wants The life Which Is Ready for service
wbsse'er He shall choose.
Yes, the little kindnesses all of US can
do, and If strifies make the sum of human
life" We can each add much TO human
happiness.

Some Of the Ingenious Ways Of Civ
Ing the Fatal Dose TO Avoid
Identification.

The whole question of secret poison

one that is bound up with the romance
of past centuries, says London House
hold Words. The word romance" is
used adyisedly, for it undoubtedly
played great part in the weird tales
that have been handed down and ac-
cepted so readily by lovers of the mys-
terious. 1t is a sad fact that modern
day science should reject the larger
part of these picturesque stories. The
drinking cup is so devised that harm
less wine poured into it was immedi-
ately transformed into death-dea1-
ing potion, and the looking glass that
slew any one who chanced to glance
into tit is hard, indeed, that both
of these should be pronounced incom-
patible with our increased knowledge.
That rose, scented with insidious poi
son. which we have loved from school
room days-it is pity to consign it
to the realms Of fiction.
BY way of compensation for the le-
gends of which it has robbed us, mod
ern science has introduced us to or
ganic poisons undreamed Of by the
artists of the renaissance. Consider
the possibility of the micro-organism
in capable hands. The student new to
the work shudders involuntarily when
those carefully sealed glass tubes
which contain cultures" of this or
that deadly bacillus are handed round
for inspection. What il he were to
drop one and spread the germs round
among his fellows? Luckily these tox-
ins are not easily obtained, but in the
hands of scientist-why, modern
medici might destroy his enemies
wholesale and without fear of detec-
tion. A case was reported in the Eng
lish papers in 1S94-on the authority
of Dalziers correspondent at Buenos
Ayres-which proves that the above
facts have not been overlooked. A
certain Prof. Beaurigard, an eminent
experimentalist on pathological sub
jects. was put on his trial for murder.
He appears to have given select din
ners. to which never more than three
guests were invited, and within "a
hours one or more OF these guests
were attacked by what appeared to be
cholera or yellow fever. After is
deaths had thus occurred the profess

when new witness appeared. During
a short adjournment the professor
committed suicide by means of gold

had concealed in hollow tooth. Af-
ter his death the new witness-who
was the professors butler-explained
the manner of the crime. The murder
er was accustomed himself to bring
