hundred blind persons apply for work
Owing to our limited means many have
had to be refused We have, however
during the past year enabled seventeen
to find work Fifteen of these were pre-
viously dependent Eleven are today self
supporting and the others well on the
road toward that desirable goal
And he added that as business propo-
sition It will be worth while for the state
to enable its blind people to earn their
own living.
A world of usefulness and content Is
opening for the blind. Almost all their
misery especially for those who have
never known what 1t is to see, has been
due to the bitterness of dependence and
the WEAKNESS Of inactivity With work
will come satisfaction, and az the tasks
widen in skill and Importance pleasure of
a high order will be within their grasp.
Helen Kellar, with far more than blind
ness between her and the normal world,
has succeeded not only in gaining for her
self full rich measure of life but also
In finding means of helping others. Her
letter to the Massachusetts legislature
in favor Of the establishment of the un-
paid commission for the blind was a much
more powerful appeal than were the LEI
ters OF Joseph H. Choate and DR.. Lyman
Abbott in behalf Of the same cause. Nor
does Miss Kelar's influence end with the
blind her helpfulness extends even to
those who are blessed with all their
senses. And it is the possibility of useful
ness to the well and the strong that raises
highest the hopes and stirs deepest the
pride Of the blind who are finding their
way in the dark

Finding Their Way in the Dark.

From the Providence Journal.
Toward Massachusetts, the home of
Helen Kellar the blind of the country
are now turning A bill to establish a
permanent unpaid commission for sight
less citizens is before the legislature. To
keen-eyed, active men and women, wholly
concerned in their own affairs, the meas
ure described in these commonplace
words means little more than a sort of
kindly and charitable oversight of help
less charges. 1t is only among these
helpless charges who are eager to make
guardianship unnecessary that the full
significance of the cause is comprehended
AT a public hearing held in the state
house at Boston a few days ago Mr..
Charles Z. f. Campbell, agent of the
Massachusetts Association for Promot-
ing the Interests of the Blind thus ex-
planned some of the ends sought by the
bill:
Two years ago in this very room we
suggested that blind and partially blind
young men and women might find en-
ployment in factories for the seeing. At
that time you considered it dream. To-
day 1t will doubtless interest you to know
that six factories in this state are already
employing such people. One of these en-
ployes was taken from a Massachusetts

How to Tell Bad Railroad Rail.

In his article on The Anatomy of a
Steel Rail- in Harpers for March. II. G.
Boynton tells of the way in which de-
fects in steel rails are discovered by the
use of the microscope.
How them says the layman, can you
tell If that was a good or bad rail?'
Then comes the microscope, that simple
instrument which has revealed so many
wonders. 1t now permits the metallurgist
to study the anatomy of so apparently
lifeless a thing as a. piece of steel.
With vertical illurhinator or kind Of
reflector which takes the light rays from
any source and blends them through q
right angle, and then permits the observer
to look through it down on to the poll
,ished surface of metal--equipped With
such a reflector attached to an ordinary
microscope and with a number of diff
ferent lenses called detectives and eye
pieces, the metallurgist can look at his
piece of rail under a linear magnification
of forty to thousand diameters. This
means that If spot measuring one-hun-
dredth Of an inch across be magnifed one
hundred diameters, the original spot
would appear to the eye of the observer
one inch in diameter
Can you conceive of anything in that
rail that could escape the trained eye
when under a magnihcation of one thou
sand diameters? 1t would have to be
more elusive than the tiny germs which
medical men look for as the cause of
most of our contagious diseases, than the
100000 bacteria in a cubic centimeter OF
the ordinary milk we drink.

formed the basis of feast for $50 guests
al the annual banquet of the Canadian
camp in the ball room of the Hotel Aston.
1t was served in quarters on huge laurel
twined plates, and carvers in great
white aprons cut off the portions
1t was the rarest dish the camp had
eaten. Less than 100 specimens of the
catalo exist. They were bred by Col A.
j. (Buffalo) Jones on the Flathead Indian
reservation in Northern Montana. The
specimen eaten at the banquet was shot
on December - by Colonel Jones in a
semi-wild state. and the colonel was
there to tell how he did it.
He said he expected the catalo to re-
place on the western prairies the great
nerds of buffaloes that have disappeared.
In appearance when served the meat
was not unlike roast beef. 1t was rich
and juicy, sweet to the taste, but little
tough.
But the guests did not mind the slight
toughness of some of the portions. 1t is
not every day they have chance to eat
roast catalo. They might not partake of
1t for years again, certainly not at a
Canadian camp banquet, Tor, the rules OF
the club call for something entirely new
and rare In the animal line each year.

What the Socialists Want.

From the Kansas City Journal.
The Oklahoma socialists have fixed UP
a list of things they want the constitu-
ton of the new state to contain. The pro-
visions are extremely varied and include;
Initiative and referendum and power
of recall.
"A compulsory school law, school age,
seven to fourteen years; state to bear ex-
pense where parents are unable to do So
"Free textbooks.
state to have same rights as individ-
uals except as to being sued.
Railroad commission to regulate rates,
fix responsibility for accidents, etc.
"State to operate whisky and beer bus
iress at lowest possible profit to be de-
voted to school and public road funds.
Women to have the right to vote at
all elections.

MURDERER SHAVED GOVERNOR.
Convict Scared Indiana Executive Into
Promise of Pardon.

Lansing (Kas) Correspondent Kansas
City Star.
The officers barber shop at the Kansas
pententiary has three of the best ton
serial artists in the country. One is
serving a life sentence for murder and
the other two are "long termers." Wis
itors often express their surprise on
learning that the officers are shaved by
prisoners. They ask II there is not dam
ger of the prisoners attacking the Of
fcers.
All the officers from the warden down
to the tower guards are shaved by the
three prisoners. None of them has any
more apprehension than If they were
shaved by regular barber. These prison
BARRIERS are very careful not to cut an Of
ncer, and as they are not allowed to
talk unless spoken to first, devote their
entire attention to the shaving. There
is seldom an accident. A new officer may
be a little timid at first, but after one
visit to the prison barber shop he gets
over It,
There are a few BARRIERS among the
prisoners and all of them are anxious to
get a chair In the officers shop. Only
the experts are chosen. 1t is a coveted
place for a prison, and the barber tries
in every way to please the officer. Dyeing
of hair, face massage and fancy hair
cutting are special features of the work
of the prison BARRIERS.
That the argument of barber is force
full was proved by the late Claude Mat
thews, ex-governor of Indiana, who often
told of a visit to the state penitentiary In
Michigan City, about two years after his
election to the executive office Governor
Matthews had visited the prison before,
so the story goes. but had never visited
the barber shop. During this stay he
accompanied by the warden while walk
ing through the building, passed by the
shop and the Governor remarked regard
ing its frst-class appearance.
The warden explained that the BARRIERS
were nrst-class workmen. and suggested
that the governor be shaved while he
went down to the office to attend to
some business Mr.. Matthews thought
the suggestion a good one.
The barber went about his work in an
expert way and the governor was con-
graduating himself upon his good luck,
when the barber who had just sharpened
his razor to a keenness which delighted
the tender skin of Mr.. Matthews ven
tnred the remark: q,
You're the governor. are you not?
Mr. Matthews assured him that he was
We'll. probably you don't remember
me-" the barber continued, but I'm

for murder. My attorney and myself
both have written you regarding par
don Governor, but you haven't seemed to
take much interest in the case.
With every word the barber was getting
that keen-edged razor little nearer the
governors throat He tried to explain
that the matter had probably been over

ANIMALS LIKE A JOKE.
Pull Tails, Make Up Faces and Play
Mischievous Tricks.

Animals with a sense of humor, or
signs OF one anyway are described by a
writer in the Strand He tells of a fe-
male baboon sthat delighted in teasing a
certain watch dog.
As soon as the watch dog settled him.
self for a doze the baboon would steal up
and give the canine tail a vicious tug.
OF course. the dog would go for her, but
she would simply wait till he got close
enough, then leap over his head and from
behind give his tail another pull.
A Siamese monkey was being brought
to Europe on a steamer with several
other monkeys who, for some reason,
would have nothing to do with him.
This ostraclsm exasperated the Siamese
and whenever he got chance he would
grab one of the others by the tail, drag
him all over the deck and finally climb
into the rigging and drop his victim with
a duh thud.
Darwin tells of female ourangoutang
that took hold of dish in which her
food was served and put 1t on her head
as IL it Mere a hat Thus adorned she
provoked hoars of laughter, to her evil
dent qualification, from the crowd
around her cage.
Another naturalist saw a baboon get
even with an officer who had often leased
him. Seeing the officer approaching the
baboon poured some water into hole
in the ground, mixing it with earth so as
to make mud. When his enemy came
up he splashed the muddy water on the
officers uniform. For long time after
this every time the animal saw the Of
hcer he INDUCED in what had every APP
pearance of being laughter.
Saville Kent declares that dolphins are
fond of teasing other fish by SELLING
their tails and dragging them through
the water He once saw two dolphins
attack a big skate swimming near the
surface of the water. The skate tried to
escape them by raising its tail out of
water. but the dolphin got hold of it and
dragged the skate in every direction.
Foals will often tease human beings
by galloping toward them as II intepd-
ing to FUN them down, then stopping
short within an uncomfortably short
step or two.
Gross, the naturalist. relates several
amusing instances of a similar nature
about dogs He had once a dog who,
when given a piece of bread that he did
not care to eat dropped 1t, and then.
living upon it, pretended to look around
with the most innocent air, as II wonder
ing where it had fallen.
Another case he speaks of is that of a
terrier whose greatest pleasure 1t was
to catch flies on the window panes. Moth
ing annoyed the animal more than to be
laughed at when he missed his prey.
''In order to discover what he would
do" says Cross II purposely laughed
I'immoderately each time he was unsuc-
cessful. and the more I laughed the clum-
ksier he grew.

Mr., Matthews to say a word and getting
