Work for the Blind.

I. Martignon urges the adoption Of
massage by the blind. citing the ex-
ample Of the japanese. among whom it
is practiced almost entirely by persons
thus afflicted. Sight is not necessary
for effectual work in this line, provid-
ing the operator be familiar with the

Of massage thoroughly. Sweden, Swift

examples Of japan in this respect, and
the author describes q class meeting
held in Brussels by Professor G. Daniel
for the instruction. Of about a dozen
blind persons. Four theoretical les.
sons are given at the beginning Of the
course as to the value Of massage and
its application. The fifth lesson is de.

Billion Dollar Grass,

When we introduced this remarkable

1t would be the most talked of grass in
America, the biggest, quick, hay pro-
ducer on earth, but this has come to pass.

office, at the creamery, at the depot, in

'oNE.Leeeeo MEN.
Are More Numerous Than Supposed In
All Walks Of Life.

All Walks Of Life.
"Haye you ever thought about the
one-legged man. how numerous he Is.
what he does for a livelihoodT asked
an obseryant man. "Well, I suppose
you have without paying much atteh-
ton to what you were thinking about.
You will find many men who are thus
afflicted quite as well of in the Affairs
OF the world as men who still retain
both of their lower limbs. Many Of
the brave soldiers who took part In the
little skirmish of the COS left the fight
ing with one leg. or they were wound
ed in such q way that they lost the
limb afterward because amputatiOn be-
came necessary. Frequently this con-
dition confronted the wounded soldier
many years after the war. So there
are many one-legged men who are
prominent in all the professions and in
all the business affairs of the country.
"But l was thinking Of another class
Of men. men who are not, for one rea-
son and another, fitted for the more
responsible positions in life, the class
of men who perforce fall into the most
convenient grooves for the aims and
responsibilities which beset them. He
is q bootblack now and then, and we
find him lounging on the corner. wait
ing for some good customer who will
give him the usual allowance for
shine Sometimes we will find him at
other things which do not require too
much leg work. as the saying goes.
But had in mind a still more curious
fact in connection with the calling Of
the one-legged man. Did you know
that fully 80 per cent Of the railroad
flagmen in the United States are one
legged men? Did you know that fully
90 per cent Of the men who sweep out
the grooves, and who grease them. at
the curves on street railway lines are
one-legged men? 1t is fact, whether
you know it or not, and a little closer
observation will convince you Of it
So you find the one-legged man al
crossing Of the roads, and your life is
often in his hands. If he maps he may
Whit your candle out. Or If he should
give a false signal for some reason
something might happen to a whole
train load Of people. So true is it that
the one-legged man is the flagman in
all the plays where it has been neces
sary to introduce him, the flagman is
one-legged. The verdict Of the stage is
not always good, but in this respect
am inclined to think that no mistake
has been made. So, after all, the one.
legged man plays an important and
responsible part in the affairs Of the
world.-New Orleans Times Democrat.

The Signs Failed.

Phil Thompson was asked by some
friends to see lady of the party home
from the Waldorf. He had somehow
failed to catch her name. He was.
therefore, uncertain as to whether she
was a wife, widow or bachelor maid.
However, reckless of consequences, he
at length ventured upon this remark:
Il see." said he, from the way you
put on your cloak and attempt to catch
step with me, instead Of allowing me
to catch step with you, that you are
bachelor maid. and, consequently.

'On the contrary" the lady replied,

WsDtern Canada Will Soon Become the
Supply Depot for wheat for Great

During the past year about 10000
Americans went from the United
States to Canada. Most of these set
tied upon farm lands, and the writer
is informed by agents Of the Canadian
Government that the greatest success
has followed the efforts Of nearly all.
70 their friends on this side Of the
boundary line the fullest assurance is
given Of the prosperity that is in store
for them. There will always be a
splendid market for all the grain. cat

raised in Western Canada, and with
the advantages offered Of free home

lands which may be bought cheaply,

bandman gets more return for his
money than in any other country in
the world.
On the occasion of Sir Wilfred
Laurier's visit to the Corn Exchange,
London, England, Colonel Montgomery,
V. D., made several important state
-ments. ''The function (he said which
you have just been assisting in con-
nection with kindred association has
doubtless shown you the Importance
Of the provision trade Of Liverpool in
its relationship with the Dominion and
the enormous possibilities of the future
development Of that trade. Well, the
grain trade Of Liverpool has interests
with Canada no less important than
those of the provision trade. When it
is borne in mind that so per cent of
the breadstuffs of this great country
has to be brought from abroad, you
will readily appreciate with what great
satisfaction we view the large and
steadily increasing supplies Of grain
which are annually available for tx
port from Canada, and I challenge CON
tradiction when l say that Of the
wheats we import from Russia. India,

Of the United States, none gives more
general satisfaction, none is more gen.

the Province Of Manitoba. We can
not get enough Of it, and it is no ex-
aggeration to say that there are be-
fore us dozens of millers who hunger
for 1t. This is not the time to enter
into statistical questions. but we look
forward with confidence to the time
at which, with the present rate Of
progress, the Dominion of Canada will
have a sufficient surplus Of wheat to
render this country independent Of
other sources of supply. I think 1
may. with justifiable pride, remind you
that this is the chief grain market Of
the British Empire, and through Its
excellent geographical position, as we'll
as through the enterprise Of its millers,
it is now the second milling center in

Not TO Be Ourdone.

A note of family pride was struck
In the conversation between three
small boys the other day. The parts
played by their respective grandfath-
ers in the civil war were being de-
picted by two of the boys in vivid
colors. The career Of each, it seemed,
had been halted by confinement in
Southern prisons, and it was on the
latter fact that the lads laid partic-
ular stress. The third youth, unable
to match these recitals with any mil.
itary achievement of his own forbears,
preserved an enviOus silence for
while. and then, not to be outdone,
said disparagingly: what, that's not
SO much. My Uncle Bill was in Jail
a long time and he was never in the
army at ALL"

THEY GROW WEARY OF LIFE.
Suicides Become More Numerous a.
tho Years Pass Away,

-
tho Years Pass Away.
Suicide is still on the increase In
New York City. According to stats.
tics compiled by Dr. William II. Gull.
foy, registrar of the bureau of vital
statistics in the health department,
there were 772 suicides in this city In
1902, Of which number At were in
the boroughs Of Manhattan and the
Bronx, says the New York Herald.
The number of suicides in those two
ooroughs ten years ago was only 241.
American women lead in the list Of
women suicides. Native born women
to the number Of 73 killed themselves
in this city last year. There were al.
together 1876 women suicides, of which
SO We're Irish, &c Germans and 10
Russian.
From the figures obtained by DR..
Guilfoy the death rate from self-de-
struction has increased in the two Dor.
oughs of Manhattan and the Bronx
from IA to each 100000 inhabitants in
1892 to % to each 100000 in 1902.
New York is now fifth in the suicide
list of American cities, which is led
Dy st. Louis, with a death rate Of 25.T.
Carbolic acid is still the most popu.
ar medium for New Yorkers who
choose to end their earthly existence.
Gun shots are second in favor, gas
comes next, while paris green is the
drug least often resorted to.
In the borough of Manhattan last
gear there were 400 suicides; in Brook
lyn, 242; in the Bronx, As; in Queens,
S6. and in Richmond. II.
Men to the number Of 169 chose
shooting as the means of ending life.
Seven women resorted to this method.
Eighty-one persons hanged them
selves, q men and Al women resorted
to gas. while 176 men and 90 women
took carbolic acid.
One Of the remarkable features re-
vealed by the registrars figures is that
suicides of women are more numerous
than those Of men between the ages of
10 and 25 years.
Death by shooting is not a favorite
method of women, but more American
women resorted to that means than
foreign born. Women bent upon self
destruction, however, display a predi-
lection for death by poisons.
