eff the Eye Is MaimSd"-

Necessity gives to the eye a precious power of seeing. and in the same way 1t gives precious power of feeling to the whole body. Sometimes 1t seems as if the very substance of my flesh were so many eyes looking out at will upon world new. cEeated every day. The silence and darkness which are said to shut me in open my door most hospitably to countless sensations that distract, inform, admonish. and amuse. With my three trusty guides-touch. smell and taste-I make many excur- slOns into the borderland of expert ence. which is in sight of the city of light Nature accommodates itself to every mans necessity. If the eye is maimed so that it does not see the beauteous face of day. the touch be- comes more poignant and discriminat- ing. Nature proceeds through practice to- strengthen and augment the remain ing senses. For this reason the blind often hear with greater ease and dis tinctness than oth Her people. The sense of smell becomes almost a new faculty to penetrate the tangle and vagueness of things. Thus, according to an i'm mutable law, the senses assist and re- enforce one another. = Helen Keller's Sense and Sensibility" in Century Magazine,
