Watches For the Blind.

The blind, like other mortals, wish
TO know the time exactly, and as yer,
few of them are in a position to Sc
cure a good repeating watch, whose
cost is always great, they have to BIT
content with ordinary watches, ana
taking the crystal out of the face they
ascertain the time by the angles and
position of the hands, which FREQUENT,
ly causes disarrangement of the time.
piece.
In view of these difficulties a for
eign firm has constructed a watch for
the blind, which represents the fig
ures in allegorial manner, and appar-
emily is very convenient. The signs
In relief are the following: One
O'Clock, a dot; o'clock, two dots; 3
O'Clock, a triangle; O'Clock, a
square; 8 o'clock, five pointed star:
6 O'Clock, an eclipse.
These same signs are repeated in
the same order in bas-relief repre-
senting the hours from 6 to 12. The
number of signs is therefore limited
to six, and it is very easy to ascer-
tain from them the time of day. The
hands are very strong and the watch
has been used with good results.
Another watch for the blind has
been invented by M. Pierre Tissot-
Bersof, by which the blind can tell
not only the hour, but also the min
ute. The hours are represented by
figures of the Braille system.-Bos-
ton Herald.

FaiIure TO Rescue Jeffs.
Much disappointment is expressed
throughout the feet over the failure
of the expedition to rescue the Amer
can sailor Jeffs from Indefatigable
Island. The fleet passed within about
forty miles of the island, and the ten
der Yankton was sent in to make the
search The landing party from the
tender searched all habitable parts of
the island for two days. Remains of
camp fires were found in several
places, but no trace of the sailor was
discovered. In one place a razor was
found with Jeffs' initials on it, 1t is
the belief of the men on the Yankton
that the marooned sailor has been
picked up by some passing vessel.
Search was made in every possible
place where the man could have con-
cealed himself before perishing, but
it was without result.

RESPONSIBILITY Ut EDITORS.



George William Curtis laid down
the unaiterable law of editorship
when he said that a man should not
do anything as an editor that he
would not do as gentleman.
No gentleman would introduce
into your home conversation on O
strictly private medical topic, or re-
late stories of well-known persons
that were palpably false. And no
editor has right to seek your COM
pany by such means, even though
they are contained in publication
behind which he is to large extent
hidden and protected.
You have grown careful about your
food, your milk supply, your meats,
your vegetables, and the slightest
thing that is questionable now leads
to vigorous complaint. But what
about the mental food for your fam.
lily, the reading for your sons and
daughters, and even your own maga.
zines and newspapers? When you
find rottenness, do you follow the
dictates of your conscience and your
Judgment, or do you calmly accept
1t as the natural product of new
age?
There is nothing new in the stan.
dards of decent editing and healthy
reading. The best and the cleanest
In current literature is hardest to
secure; 1t means more in thought,
effort and money. The sensations
which are exploited before you are
not only exaggerations in themselves,
but are essentially cheap and false
in their price marks. Furthermore.
the are doubly expensive in that
they destroy the appetite for sane

Just as tainted food too highly sea-
soned will injuriously affect the

Homes in which erotic stories and

papers, are not the homes that are
contributing to the proper manhood

tion OF millionaires. Just before he
sailed he was called to see a man
whose name was known throughout
the world. This man had Just been
given six weeks to live, and the whole
matter of responsibility and pride
came before him vividly, alarmingly.
What was fame or great wealth in
the presence of death sentence,
only six weeks away?
1T is my contention" said the
Bishop, that a man who believes
that he is more than steward is as
mad as Bishop of London who
thinks he owns the world" Again.

COMMERCIAL COLUMN
Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Reuorts.

There is quite considerable inn
provement in both the tone of gener-
al distributive trade and in the vol
ume of business actually booked by
jobbers. Withal, however, there is
little change to be seen in the char
acter of the buying, which is still
along very conservative lines, and
while the volume of business doing
is larger now than at any time since
last fall, the shrinkage from a year
ago is distinct and unmistakably
large. Collections are still very back
ward; prices of staples tend lower,
as for long time past; the earning
power of employees in many lines of
Industry is being curtailed by short
time or wage reductions, and the
threat is made that a refusal to ac-
cept lower wages may result in
widespread suspension of activity in
the coal trade. The demand for iron
and steel shows little real expansion,
aside from some lines like wire and
similar goods; old material tends to
ease, and many consuming plants are
running on short time.
The long standing curtailment of
cotton goods products shows no signs
of ending; in fact, a continued heavy
cut in production is indicated, and
notice has been given, in addition, of
10 per cent. reduction in wages at
some Eastern mills.
Dry goods of various kinds, grocer
les, hardware, implements and paints
are moving fairly we'll. Export trade
in cotton goods does not gain much,
and the outgo of farm products is
not as large as in recently preceding
months.
