HANDICRAFT OF THE BLIND.
Invading Many Fields OF Industry
and Turning Out Good Work.


Don't pity the blind man-em-
ploy him. The blind do not want
charity. They simply ask Justice"
This Is the keynote of the gospel
which Charles f. +. Campbell. sup
erintendent OF the experiment sta
tion for the training of the blind at
Cambridge. Mass, is everywhere
preaching. Mr.. Campbell is the son
of the blind Dr. Campbell, of Lon
don, whose achievements in striking
out new lines of occupation for the
blind are well known. He spoke in
New York, urging the imperative
need not only of finding occupations
for the sightless, but Of employing
them when they are trained.
Employment bureaus for the
blind" he said. "are a prime neces-
sity. At present. even when a per-
son wishes to employ blind man
and woman or to buy their handi-
work, he seldom knows how to go
about It. We need greater co-opera-
tion between the blind and the rest
of the world. 1t is one thing to know
how to cane chair, quite another to
get chairs to cane. What is urgently
needed is an employment bureau
and handicraft shop that shall be
run comparatively by New York.
Boston and Philadelphia.
The definite purposes for which
the experiment station was estab-
lished were threefold-to determine
w hnt t,,d II Ath
than those already named the blind
could profitably engage in; to estab-
lish such Industries on business
basis. and to enable blind persons,
when possible, to become wage earn
ers in shops or factories or selling
agents.
I'VE began in very small way.
testing different trades with blind
people of average or less than aver
age mentality. Our purpose, you
see. was not to pick out specially
gifted people and exploit them. but
to discover remunerative occupa-
tions which even detectives could
follow successfully.
"One day | saw Swedish woman
working at little loom. Next day
l set a blind girl to work at loom.
Rug carpets without pattern or color
scheme have been made by the blind
for many years, but this was the
first attempt to produce artistic re-
suits. Now we have an expert de-
signer, woman, to supervise the
work. which Is taught by an in
genious employment of a piano key
board. We are turning out rugs,
portieres, table covers, draperies,
centerpieces. ETC., which no woman
OF taste would be ashamed to use in
her house.
Another industry that promises
well for the blind, and It is the d.
rect fruit of the Cambridge expert
ment station, is mop making Mr..
Campbell expects to wipe up the
floor, literally as well as metaphori-
cally, with the mop which a blind
man has invented"

Vast Value of Farm Products.

try for the present year aggregate

ment of Agriculture the other day.

2I6, 900, 900, hay S6o5 900, 600, and
the balance represents the value OF
horses and mules and other pro-
ducts Of the farm. The products
of the dairy and poultry amounted
to as much as the iron industry.
In the history of the world no
country has ever before produced
from soil such value in that time.
1t is small wonder, in view of the
facts, that the farmers want banks
and other conveniences and utili-
ties. They produce the wealth and
have just claim to the right to con-
troll it in part. But the exhibit does
not reveal the vast wealth of the
farmers. They have paid off their
mortgages, improved their standard
of living and hold at present lands
of the value of more than $40, 900,
900, 900, horses and mules OF the
value of SI,45o, ,ooo, 900 and agri-
cultural machinery and implements
to a figure beyond the dream of
avarice.
In the face of the exhibit how
absurd appears the pretense that
the prosperity of this country de-
pends upon tariff taxation AS a
matter Of fact the tariff policy of
the dominant PARTY retards, rather
than promotes the prosperity of the
country. Upon the items of cloth
ing. machinery, implements and
othed tariff burdened articles which
the farmers consume it is safe to
estimate a tariff taxation within the
year of the aggregate Of billion
dollars. We don't say that that
amount of their earnings went into
the treasury in the form of revenue.
But it went into the pockets of the
tariff pampered manufacturing bar
ons in the shape of enhanced pro.
fits and unearned bounties and the
farmers are foolish for permitting
such robbery.-Ee.

Discovering the North Pole.

There is popular belief in the eX-
trcme Northwest that the north pole
will be discovered by a musher, and
not by any scientific polar eXpcu
This beneI Is BASED On the conviction
that a gold stampede will event..dly
be started toward north latitude 20
degrees, and that mushers will rush
in where Arctic explorers have feared
to tread. So completely unknown To
fame is this newcomer in the race for
the pole that to the majority of peO-
pie. the name suggests nothing but
cereal breakfast food.
Gilbert Parker, the novelist. who
finds his most congenial theme in
French-Canadan life, has made his
readers familiar with "Marche-t EN-"
the cry with which drivers of dog
teams urge forward their painting ami
mails.
French-Canadian trappers were
among the earliest white men in tho
far northwest, and American prospec-
tors on the Yukon soon learned TO
goad their dogs on with the same cry,
without, however, understanding the
French which, in their mouths, "as
rapidly corrupted to "Muchon!" to is
day an Alaska dog drivers equivalent
for Gee up" Dog drivers generally
run with the team, and therefore from
"Mush-on" has come the noun mush-
er, used all over Alaska and the Yu-
kon territory to designate a craftsman.
The musher is generally prospector,
stampeder and craftsman all rolled
into one, and Alaska trails are such
uncertain Quantaties that he has fire.

his stampeding to new gold fields
during the arctic winter, for then the
rigid sea becomes a highway and

coNsecRATlNe A House.
What Orthodox Hebrews Fastcn TO
the Doorpost.

the Doorpost
A dozen families of Orthodox Jews
were busy moving into a new brick
tenement house on Sheriff street, in
the heart of the East Side, when Tri-
bune reporter was passing. His atten.
tion was attracted by a ceremony,
which seemed to center about the
doorpost of ope of the ground floor
flats.
An aged gray headed patriarch was
taclting a little case to the upper right
hand doorpost, a hairbreadt" from the
edge. 1t was of tin, about three
inches long and half an inch wide, and
while fastening it securely in place
the old man seemed to be muttering
a Hebrew prayer.
After the ceremony was ended the
reporter began to ask questions.
Yes, it is religious rite" the
the old Hebrew answered. "One of
the most sacred of our religion-the
fastening of the mezuzah. No homo
is blessed without it, and one might
better die at once than attempt to
live in a fiat that did not have mez-
u2ah on the doorpost."
Some of the mezuzahs one finds in
the East side are of glass. Others.
more elaborate and expensive, are OF
carved wood. Still others are nicely
turned, with knobs at either end.
Great care is taken that unclean hands
shall never touch them. They are
not allowed to fall into the hands OF
non-Jews, if that can be prevented, for
fear they will he mistreated.
According to a rabbi with whom the
Tribune reporter talked. the obliga-
tion is derived from the Biblical pass
age: And thou shalt write them on
the doorposts of thy house and with
in thy gates" The custom has been
known since the time of Josephus. and
at one time the mezuzah was supposed
to be powerful factor in warding off
evil spirits In the Middle Ages the
practicing of writing the names of GER
tain favored angels, in addition to
the passages, crept in. Maimonides.
the great Jewish teacher, put stop
to the innovation after a vigorous cam
paign, in which he preached that
those who lived in houses so branded
would have no share in the future
world.

The use of ice for heating purposes
Is one of the oddities of our modern
civilization. Often it happens that q
train carrying fruit from the South
to the Northern market encounters a
cold spell while en- route. If the TEN.
perature goes below certain point
the perishable merchandise will be
ruined. But 1t has been ascertained
that such a misfortune may be pre-
vented by covering the fruit car with
coat of ice-a thing easily accom-
panied by turning hose upon 1t and
allowing the water to freeze until
the whole is enveloped in a CLASSY and
glittering blanket.
1t may, indeed, be appropriately
called blanket, inasmuch as it pre-.
vents the radiation of heat from the
interior of the car. The ice being
good non-conductor, the warmth is re
tanned and the fruit, or possibly II
may be vegetables, goes on its way
unspoiled even by zero weather
Cars used for transporting oranges
and other fruit from California to the
East are often provided nowadays
with large cylindrical lice stoves" as
they might be called, at each md,
which, while useful in summer time
for refrigeration, are filled with ice
during a cold spell in winter. When
the temperature outside is at zero or
below, the ice, at thirty-two degrees
Fahrenheit is relatively warm and thus
the Stoves described act as heaters.

CzAR's BODYGUARD OF SPIES.
Amid a Complicated System He Has
Cause for Uneasiness.

Some Of the most valuable and
Car are women of high rank, who
frequent the aristocratic salons Of
st. Petersburg and Moscow, and
even go as far afield as the Siberian
cities of Tomsk, Tobolsk, and
Irkutsk, says l.. s. Farlow in Har-
per's Weekly. There are also spies
among the Imperial Guards; and
reserves Of imperial Russia are ran
sacked. Among them one finds men
from the Don and Dnieper Cossacks,
the Mohammedan forces from Ka-
zan, the Caucasian provinces, and
even from far Kashgar in Central
Asia, as well as from the Imperial
Preoabrajensky and PavlovsN
Guards. The unquestioning and
doglike fidelity of these men Is Won
derful. They are absolutely fearless.
Of great physical strength, and men
tally of unusual acumen and fore
sight. There are nearly one thou
sand of these military guards con-
stantly employed in and about the
park and palace of Tsarkoe-Selo.
One might suppose that the Emper-
or Nicholas would sleep peacefully.
surrounded by this amazing human
network of protection. Yet revolu-
tionists penetrate the royal apart
ments, and leave letters Of sinister
menace and warning, which must
often suggest to the unhappy mon
arch that 1t might be as we'll for him
to do away with this far-reachins
system of espionage and mingls
freely with his people.

The Salt In the Ocean.

If the ocean did not have salt it
would freeze somewhat more rapidly
than it does now, but there would be
no very marked difference. The ocean
is prevented from freezing not so
much by its salt as by its size and by
its commotion. On account OF it's size,
large portions of it extend into warm
climates at all seasons, and by rea'
son Of its great depth it is vast store
house of heat. Its currents distribute
much warm water among the cold
