his friends and sends the rest to various
blind institutions.
Among my child patients who have
lost their sight could tell you of many
interesting hobbies. l have one little
patient however, who has made some
wonderfully good scrapbooks, and it is
marvellous how clever she is in arrang-
ing them. OF course the scraps are Of
the colored kind, already cut out, and
by the feel she can at once tell whether
it is a bird, flower, or an animal, and
she arranges them with excellent taste.
Then among my young men patients
there is one blind boy of nineteen who
is wonderfully expert in making flies
for fishing. If he were q poor boy he
could make lot of moneyaby his hob
by, but he Is wealthy and only fashions
flies for his own amusement and to
give his friends. Sometimes the young
man himself goes fishing for he keenly
enjoys the sport and have often met
him coming home with a welI-f1lled
basket Of fine trout caught by the flies
which he has made. "-Tit-Bits.

BLIND PEOPLES QUEER HOBBIES

BLIND PEOPLES QUEER HOBBIES.
The writer recently had the pleasure
Of meeting certain and highly gifted
oculist who number among his patients
some of the weahhiest people in the
world, and who volunteered some inter-
esting information relative to the differ
ent ways in which those who have
their sight pass their time.
lone of the most curious hobbies
among my blind patients" said the
specialist, lis practised by a lady who
lost her sight sixteen years ago. She
is really a remarkable florist, and her
flower beds, her wineries and her hot
houses are worthy of a kings garden.
Although she has, of course, some as
sistance the majority of the work is
performed by herself, and she was be-
come remarkably expert in the selec-
ton of bulbs and seeds.
ST have often watched her in one of
her Conservatives going from to plant
picking off a dead leaf here, tying up
a fallen branch there, tapping the pots
to see If water were wanted, and acting
just as any other gardener would act
who possessed his full complement Of
senses. I have seen her pot out bed
of young geraniums and set the plants
with remarkable exactitude. She
measures the distance with a small rule
and seldom is she out in her calcula-
tions. She gets an immense amount
of enjoyment out of all her hobby,
and she has told me over and over
again that while pursuing it she almost
forgets the loss of her sight. She is
contemplating founding an institution
where blind people may learn garden
ing, and when she does l am sure it
will be a great boon.
"Then I have another patient, man
this time who lives in the country and
who passes his time looking after
score or more of beehives. He manages
them with marvellous skill, as remark
ably successful and never gets stung;
in fact, the bees appear to know him
we'll and seldom attempt to modest him.
During the last few years this gentle
man, who, by the way only lost his
sight as recently as 1900, has secured
several hundredweight of honey, which
he never sells, but gives much of it to

Third ACT IN Great
PARLIAMENTARY DRAMA
FORMAL OPENING OFREORGAN-
lied COUNCIL OF RUSSIAN
EMPIRE.

Ceremony in the Hall of Mobiles at the
Winter PaIace--OnIy Surprise the
Announcement That Count White is
Working Member-His Appear
ance at Door the First Intimation of
the Emperor's Acknowledging OF
the Oath of Office.
st. Petersburg, May 1.-THE third
act in the great drama of Russian par
iamentarism, the formal opening of
the reorganized council of the empire,
or upper house of the parliament, took
place this afternoon in the hall of the
nables, at the winter palace The pomp
and ceremony characteristic of the old
Russian official life the absence of
which at the opening meeting of the
popular lower house of parliament in
the Tauride palace yesterday was sig
nifcant of the new spirit in Russian
affairs, found vent in the conservation
of the council of the empire which,
with half the members elected and half
appointed, forms the connecting link
between the new and the old systems.
The display Of uniforms and orders,
vivid ribons and gold braid which was
seen at its height during the cerebony
at the winter palace yesterday was re-
peated on smaller scale in the great
white hall of mobiles to-day. The ma
jority of the elective members, indeed,
who came from the landed nobility and
upper ranks of commerce and industry
WED with the apointive in the num-
Der and richness Of their decorations.
Only sturdy, little group of liberal
professors, pledged to move that the
sentence of death be imposed upon the
existence of the legislative body to
which they were elected, came in demo-
cratic simplicity their civil garb not
being relieved by a ribbon or a medal.
Though picturesque as a pageant the
ceremony at the opening was unevent-
full and uninportant historically. After
Count Slosky president Of the upper
house, had declared the session open,
the transaction of business was begun
1t consisted of the announcement of
the appointments of officers and the
signing of the oath of office.
The only surprise was the realing Of
an announcement that Count White
was a working member Of the council,
the omission of his name from the pre-
vious list having been interpreted as a
deliberate slight, which the e:nper-
or evidently took pains to correct.
The unexpected appearance of the tall
form of the former premier at the door
was the first intimation of the emper-
or's action and 1t created a buzz Of
excitement. The explanation OF mis- APP
pearance only came later when a ukase
was read appointing Count WHITE and
M Manukhin, former minister Of JUS
tice, to be members Of the council of
the empire.
The organization of the upper house,
which followed the programme of the
lower house yesterday, was preceded
I BY religious service. After the men,
bers had signed the oath the house ad-
journed.
