Play in the Dark.

Because they have no sight and
must cultivate their sense of feeling,
the blind are peculiarly sensitive of
touch. The average piano student
can profit by the knowledge and help
himself more than he realizes by a
few minutes of nightly practice with
out artificial light. Try going to the
piano when the lights are low, or not
burning at all. Run over the scales
in consecutive order. Then play the
arpeggios and running chords of the
dominant seventh and diminished
fifth. Then let yourself go on the
pieces you have memorized. You will
find yourself unsteady awakened, for
you can hear better when you are not
distracted by what you see. and your
touch will become more firm and sure
and your dependence on printed notes
will gradually grow less.

A well known New Yorker, while
dining at his club one evening recent
ly, observed that his order of oysters
on the shell was not complete, there
being only II biyalves, instead of the
dozen it was his custom to order, says
Harper's Weekly. On rejecting that
his waiter, an Irishman, was new
conner, he decided to let the matter
pass; but when on the next evening
the same thing occurred, he became a
trife impatient. See here!" ex-
claimed he to the waiter, what do
you mean by bringing me IL oysters
when l order II? This is the second
time that this thing has happened"
Sure, sir" quietly responded the Celt,
II didn't think you would want to
risk being Is at table, sir"

SHE NEEDED ANOTHER HAND.
They Enjoyed the Show Immensely
but Failed to Applaud.

In the parquet at the Orpheum last
night sat young man and his best
girl. People behind them noticed that
the young couple seemed to enjoy
the show immensely, but neither
would applaud, says the Denver Post.
They would look at each other and
smile and say "Finel" isn't that
great" and other such things, but
they would not applaud Everybody
else near by was applauding, and that
started the people behind the young
couple to wondering why they did
not clap their hands and show their
appreciation substantially. Finally
James H. Cullen came on the stage
and began his singing S. mt. His
first two songs made great hits, but
still the young couple did not applaud
His third song was even better than
the other two, and it was then that
the mystery as to why the young
people did not applaud was explained
to those behind them. When Cullen
finished the song the girl turned to
her escort. John" she said, loud
enough for these behind to hear,
you'll have to let go my hand a min
ute. I've just got to applaud this
man"

Heroism of a Nurse.

SeIf-DeveIopino Plates.

The amateur photographer slid the
milk-colored plate into a tray and
poured over it pint of water. Mag
ically then in the mysterious rudy
light fine black lines began to appear
They ran this way and that; they
crossed, deepened spread; soon the
plate had turned from white to black.
1T has developed itself, you see," said
the photographer. But how? You

need only pour on water, when the de-
veloping chemicals at once dissolve

Utilization of Waste.

The United States Steel corporation
is installing II monster engines at va
rious plants, the unique feature about
them being that they do not require
oil. coke, coal, wood or ordinary gas
for fuel They are to be operated
solely with the gas which is generated
in the company's blast furnaces dur
ing the process of steel manufacture
This gas has heretofore gone to
waste, but hereafter it will be made
to turn all the wheels. For steel
plant to be able to save the cost OF
its fuel is taking very big stride to-
ward economy To be able to abol-
ish smoke at the same time will add
to it's popularity in communities
where the smoke-belching stacks
have smothered the air with black
ness. One more real triumph for the
American restless brain.

MADE SANE BY OPERATION.
Physicians Reason Lost In Accident
Permanently Restored.


DIR. Bernard Hollander, we'll
known London physician, describes a
remarkable cure of insanity by oper-
alton. His patient, a doctor, received
kick from horse on the right of
the chin, followed year later by a
heavy fall from bicycle on the right
side of his head. Soon the doctors
character changed completely. He
suffered severely from headache and
neuralgia pains, which incapacitated
him from work. He became emo
tional. irritable, very profane, and de-
veloped suicidal tendencies. His
strange conduct frequently led him.
into difficulties. After suffering for
seven years and trying all possible
medical treatment he consulted Dr.
Hollander, who, believing the seat
of the disease to be in a circumscrib-
ed part of the brain, advised opera
ton. On trephining, a morbid condi-
ton of the skull in this region was
and an excess of cerebro-
spinal fluid, which had prevented the
brain from pulsating. Three weeks
after the operation the patient was
well, and has remained in perfect
mental and physical health ever
since.

Hard Lines for True Love.

A man and woman wrecked a train

spired and buoyed up by the hope OF
robbing dead passengers Of enough to
pay for a marriage license and the
paraphernalia of housekeeping on a
modest scale. Nobody was killed, the
plotters did not get cent and the man
has gone to jail for so long a term of
years as completely to upset the we'd
ding arrangements. Doesn't the course
of true love ever run smoothly?
