Blind From Birth.

It would be Of great interest to know
how much Helen Keller, losing her
sight at nineteen months, really retain
ed Of the sense of sight. With Laura
Brdgman, q woman Of much less in
tellect, there was evidently little or
nothing left, even as memory. With
her taste and smell were very feeble,
so that communication with the world
was, indeed, through narrow pas
sage. Her sensitiveness to vibration
was so fine that without any trace of
the sense of hearing she was aware OF
the tolling of a bell. But her biogra-
pher, giving us IN detail the record of
the slow steps of her education, tells
us little of what idea she was able to
form of things. 1t is Schopenhauer
who gives one hint Of what we all
want to know Of the born blind. He
says that a man blind from birth to
whom sight was given by an operation
put his hand to his eye to grasp there
and not in their place the things he
saw.-London Chronicle.

How to Take Care Of Shoes.

A shoe should be washed every now
and then with wet rag and oiled
overnight. In this case fresh applica
ton of backing restores the brilliancy
to the leather. A wet shoe must never
be placed too near the fire, for 1t will
become hard and stiff. The way tn
save shoe that Is wet from an early
grave is to wipe 1t off and then apply
an oil or cream by means Of a soft
piece Of flannel or cloth. Wear old
shoes in bad weather. Patent feathers
should never be handled until warmed,
and they can be made smooth and
bright by cream rubbed in by a cloth
or by the palm Of the hand, which is
betteS.

BEAUTlFYING TABLECLOTHS.
How to EmbrOider and Mark Fine
Linen.

How to EmbfO1def ana Mark Fine
Linen.
1t is no longer the style to use round
cloths, even on round tables. 1t has
been settled that they did not launder
WE'LL pulled out Of shape, and so have
been abandoned.
The woman that Is clever with her
needle can embroider lunch cloths her
self that will be hard for any but
very full purse to duplicate. One that
Is extremely handsome has linen medal
lions made into the square with an
equal number of insets of ciuny. This
makes the Cloth lacy, and to increase
the delicate transparency the linen
squares are embroidered in open eye
let's of English embroidery.
Another cloth that is almost too love-
ly to use Is made Of center of linen
with English hand embroidery with
circle Of cluny around it and one of
filet which is lace background with
figures darned in. Around this. again,
Is circle Of embroidered llnen and the
whole cloth is framed of these alternat-
ing rows of lace and embroidered linen.
The edges are scallops Of lace, making
the cloth square, says the st. Louis
Globe Democrat.
Letters on fine tablecloths should be
three inches long, and just now these
are put on top Of the border above the
plate line, where they are plainly visi-
BILE. The letter Of the surname should
be trfe larger, to make 1t the more
conspicuous. For plain linen cloths
these letters are severe in their sim
straight lines, whereas for elaborate
cloths there are monographs, surrounded
with u wreath Of laurel and small bits
of ribbon worked through the design.
Two monograms are now placed in
opposite corners In place Of one, rs for
merly. This is simply a detail, how
ever, rs there are constant changes In
the placing Of the marking devices.
On napkins the letters are from an
inch and tl,ree-Quarters to two and one
half inches long. They should always
be In corner where they will show,
no matter how the napkin Is folded.
OF course these must correspond with
the style of letter on the cloths, but
smaller in proportion. Napkins are
usually to be had in several sizes, the
largest measuring thirty-two inches for
dinner napkins and those for break
fast about fifteen. Many women Of
taste use the perfectly plain, handsome
damask with the elaborate cloths for
dinner.

Rich Young Men in Politics.

The politicians of Milwaukee are much disturbed about Sher- burn Merrill Becker, "the boy politician, y recently elected mayor of that city.
 Becker is only 26 years old. He was born rich. He graduated at Harvard and later took a di- ploma in manliness on the plains as cowboy. He got married to a girl he loved and they travelled twice around the globe.
 Then. the young millionaire, globe trotter and ex-cowboy came back to Milwaukee, where he twas cotillion leader and soc- ial favorite, and announced him. self as a candidate for county supervisor. His society friends poked much fun at him, but he was elected.
 Becker took an immediate in-

terest in the peoples business. He pointed out some suspicious printing bills. He hinted at scandal. Whereupon there was. a cut in the printing that saved the taxpayers $35, GOO a year,
 The politicians began to sit up and ask. What is Becker up to-"
 The young man decided to run fJtr alderman in his ward. The politicians~efied to beat him, but he made a house to house can- vass and won. The question of the municipal ownership of the electric light plant was up. Becker's society friends owned the plant. Of course, he would not vote with the "dreamers' and the socialists. Becker took a postal card vote of his constituents and did that very thing.
 He was put on the tail end of the fire committee. Thereupon he put a fire alarm into his room and responded at every fire. Moreover, he had a huge coffee pot rigged up on the end of his stanhope and from this he served hot coffee to the fire fighters. His society friends began to call Becker "a queer sort. In point of fact he was only humane and a wideawake friend of the peo- pie.
 Finally Becker came out inde- pendently for mayor. Now ! The machines of both the politi- cal parties coupled themselves together to run over him. The pu,jlic service corporations poured money into the campaign. No newspaper in Milwaukee would support him. He started one of his own for campaign purposes. He printed hot stuff.
 Becker told the voters that their city government was owned and operated by the street and steam railways. He promised clean government and a greater Milwaukee," In the face of or ganizations and money and in- fuence he was elected.
 The young millionaire has demonstrated what rich young man who takes up the cause of the people is able to do. The old-fashioned virtue of honesty is not yet played out in politics. It needs only to be mixed with a little shreWdness and plenty of persistence. .Sherburn Becker might still be leading the ger man in Milwaukee "a perfumed nothing. But fortunately he was born graft-proof. More fortunately still, he was born & good American and st4nSS oue.

1ay morning appeared a mo- to this effect, stating that the directors of that institution had deemed it advisable to sus- pend business and ask the ap- pointment of a receiver, voGch- safng to the depositors as full protection and consideration of their interests as possible.
 The announcement came as a shock to the great majority of people, though a number of large depal l6rs had withdrawn their adl IFnts owing to prevalent ru- mors of it's impaired condition by reason of a heavy loan, which the borrower had failed to make good.
 The deposits of this, the oldest bank in the city, having been established in 1889, were nearly S20O,000 and it's failure falls heavily upon large number of people. Not many business firms, brt a large clientele of farmers, wage earners and people of small means were depositors in the suspended institution.
 One heavy loan as stated, was responsible for the suspension of the bank, and this would have been largely recovered, but for a year of unusual rains, which pre- vented sawmill operation and DAlus the payment of incurred ob- 1igatiQps,

 He bravely proposed to turn over his nome and other property for the settlement in full of every depositor's claim and stated that he believed and hoped the bank would meet every such obliga- tion.
 A call has been made upon the stockholders for the payment of the remainder of the stock, $25, . 900. The paid in capital of the bank has been $25,000, with 8 suplus of S35, ,000.
