FOR THE BLIND.
Ingenious Portable Printing Outfit De-
 signed by Frenchman.

An ingenious portable printing out fit with which the blind may com municate with those who see, and vice versa, has been devised by Director Vaughan, of the Quinze-Vingts blind asylum, in France. The following de scription of the device is translated from La Nature by the Literary Digest. Says this paper:
 Tt is we'll known that the blind use for reading and writing, the system of points in relief devised by Braille, in which words and phrases are formed by proper combination of these points. In reading, the blind touch the points with the finger; to write, they form the text in Braille points by means of stylus and grille beneath sheet of paper. The portable printing set for the blind, which is represented in the accom- panying figure, is box containing types in it's lowest part, and above these grille to receive these when set. The characters used are specially cast for the purpose; they bear at one end letter of the Braille alphabet, and at the other the equiv alent Roman letter. These characters are also furnished with a tongue placed lengthwise at the base of the letter, and indicating its position. This

a superior development. But those who think that the preference for the right hsnd is an acquired habit, al though one of immensely long stand ing, suggest that perhaps the left cere- bral hemisphere has become better developed as the result of the over use of the right limbs. At any rate, says Youths Companiou, a society has been founded in London for the culti- vation of ambidexterity, and it will be for the physiologists of the future to determine whether education in the use of the left hand can affect the de- velopment of the right side of the brain.

Cars of Metal,

A company which manufactures parlor-cars and sleeping-cars is to erect a plant for the building of cars constructed entirely of metal. The new cars will be stronger than those of the old type, and in railroad acci- dents will not take fire. The question rises whether those who cannot af- ford seats in parlor-cars, but must ride in common coaches, are not en- titled to equally safe vehicles. In the good time coming every car and the entire railroad equipment will be as good as human skill can make it.

enables the types to be set vertically in ..rse grooves aai1 made .,,Y in Y0aar Y0aarin, Howe.
 The type are in the pooy of the case and the Roman letters bear on an ink
 ing pad below. In the lid Gas the case lies open) is the empty grille, under which a sheet of paper may be slipped
 The blind person recognizes the type by touching the Braille characters and, taking them one by one, places them in the grille from left to right. The type are thus set closely side by side. To separate the words the groove to the right of the last word set is al- lowed to remain empty. When all the type are in place slight pressure i'm presses them on the sheet of paper. The same apparatus enables one who does not know the Braille alphabet to write to a blind person, in which case the ink pad is not used. The charac- ters are placed in the grille, taking care that the Roman letter is upper most, so as to be seen by the operator. by letter and places them in the grille at the right, going from right to left. Pressure is then brought to bear on sheet of paper, placed, as before, un- der the grille, the Braille characters are forced into the paper, the pressure necessary for this depending on it's thickness.

KINDLY THOUGHTS AND WAYS.


 The spoiled woman is never youth full. She Is invariably selfish, and selfishness is aging.
 If you would keep young at heart, and that means young outside, in spite of the years, banish petulant moods, combat irritability.
 Sometimes we wonder why it is that so many old persons become dis agreeable. Sometimes 1t Is ill-nature that has made them old. says Home Chat.
 Kindly feeling may be cultivated. and this cultivation begins when the child is first taught to be gentle in its play with companions, civil to serv- ants, respectful to the aged and kind to helpless animals.
 As the child grows from girlhood to womanhood this habit of courtesy and thoughtfulness for others has become part of her character-a part that will tend to the eternal youthful spirit if the cares and the fiatteries of life are met in the right way.

pole diametrically opposite Each pole has a thin brush mounted thereon, which contacts with the armature sec tions as they pass hereunder. As there are five armature sections and but four field-poles, some one of these brushes is always in contact with an | armature section. If, now, one pair of opposite tield-poles be positively charged and the other pair be mega lively charged, some one of the arma- ture sections receives a charge of like sign with the field-pole enveloping it. The armature section is, therefore, i'm mediately repelled. and moves away from the field-pole and toward the next field-pole, to which it is attracted for like reason. As it passes under the brush of the latter field-pole the charge is given up for one of unlike sign, and the armature section is in turn repelled by this field-pole. Simi- lar phenomena are taking place at each of the other field-poles, and con- tinuous rotation at high velocity is maintained"
 A series of armature plates forming battery are mounted on a single shaft, and all the like armature sec tions in row (parallel to the shaft) are connected. thus securing a larger capacity in each of the five armature sections. The field-poles are likewise connected together, and the brushes are arranged to contact with the arma- ture sections only just after each had passed the median line of each field pole. Therefore the motor always turns in the same direction. Says the au- thor:
 Any suitable source of high-tension current sufficed for power, as, for example. an induction machine. A charged glass rod held to one and a charged sealing-wax rod held to the other of the field-posts were sufficient to cause considerable rotation of a single-disk motor.
 Tn experiments in wireless tele- phony pole supporting wires 15 feet above the roof of twostory frame house was used. It was noticed that on the occasion of storms there would be sparkling at the gap in a plug cut out block on the instrument table It was found that on connecting the mo- tor between the points, that is, so that one field-pole was in metallic con- munication with the earth and the other with the aerial. the motor would run, beginning some little time before the rain began to fall. It was also no- ticed that the motor did not always be- have similarly sometimes 1t would re- volve rapidly. while upon the occasion of other storms the torque would be weak.
 "As the force of attraction and re- pulsion is in proportion to the capac- ities of the opposed surfaces, it would seem that a motor of considerable power might be constructed to run by static current taken from the passing clouds, and this is suggested as a line of research Of not unpromising re- sults."

A standing puzzle is the almost uni versal tendency of men and women of all races to use the right hand in pref erence to the left. Examination of skeletons has shown, by the differ ences of bone development, that this tendency is of very ancient origin. It is often ascribed to the fact that the left hemisphere of the brain which controls the right side of the body-possesses, in normal persons,
