A Blind Girl StenOerapher.

Totally blind, yet heroically ris-
ing above her misfortune and pluck
lily earning her living as an expert
stenographer and typist, Miss Mary
c. Hays, of Pittsburs, pennsylvania
is a splendid example Of the good
results of applied charity and spec
iaI education. Miss Hays was edu-
Gated by the state at the Western
Pennsylvania Institution for the
Blind, and all the teachers and
officials are justly proud of her.
Miss Hays takes dictation from a
phonograph and turns out flawless
copy without assistance She is
one of the very few blind girl stem
oraphers in the world, and is the
only one, so far as known, who is
working from phonographic dicta
ton and turning out such a mass
of work.
Here is one of those cases which
every now and then come to light
of determined soul who simply
refuses to be overcome by any
handicap that nature or misfortune
may put in the path, and who
seems to be placed as an example
for the less courageous to follow

Frye's Fishy Fact.

The late Secretary Frye attribut-
ed his robust health to correct hab-
its and fondness for sport and the
world outdoors. Two months each
year he enjoyed, at his camp by the
Rangeley Lakes, the keen delights
of the rod and gun If there was
one achievement of his life of
which he was inclined to boast it
was that of having caught the larg-
est square-tailed trout ever taken
with a fly. But some time ago, at
a dinner this boast was challenged
by no less an authority than Pro-
fessor AgassiZ. That great natur-
alist asserted that the Maine Sena-
tor was in error, for it was a scien-
tific fact that no true trout ever at
tanned the weight mentioned -sev-
en- pounds.
The following season the senator
was fortunate enough to catch an
eight-pound specimen of the same
species, which he packed in ice aud
sent to Professor Agassiz. The pro-
fessor acknowledged his defeat in
the following laconic line: The
theory of lifetime kicked to death
by a fact."-Boston Transcript.

SecretiYe Family Bible.

Tommy was a venturesome lad,
but nobody had ever credited him
with sufficient courage to shake his
head in contradiction when the
Sunday school visitor, who wished
to show off his knowledge of Bibli-
cal history, asserted that Sarah,
Abraham's wife, was the only wom-
an whose age was recorded IN the
Bible. Seeing the disappearing

Some Uses Of Paraffine.
The Scientific American is au-

The Scientific American is au-
thority for the following:
The FIVE or ten cent cotton
mitts which are so largely bought
by working men may be water
proofed by dipping them in melted
paraffine; OF if a thinner coat is
preferred, and only on the palm of
the mitts, melted paraf1ne may be
brushed over their surface. For
handling damp bricks, for working
with plaster or cement, paraffine
mitts are far superior to the origi-
nal. Women will find them valua-
BILE when scrubbing floors, setting
out plants and so forth. Leather
gloves, used by farmers in hauling
damp corn fodder, or any material
that is wet may be waterproofed
the same way. The coating of par
affine may be renewed as often as
the surface needs it. Gloves and
mftts-even boots for ditchers-
treated with parafine last longer
because the water can do them lit
tie damage. The comfort the wear
er experiences by using waterproof
ed mitts or gloves far outweighs the
bother of melting and applying the
parafine." If matches are dipped
in parafine they do not absorb
moisture and are useful on camping
or canoeing trips. Remove the par
affine before scratching,

Mrs John Bishop, who resides in
West Highlands in the western part
of this city, report that she and her
children saw a snake flying through
the air at their home the other
morning about 11:30 O'Clock. Such
a thing was never seen in this sec
ton of the country before, but such
snakes exist we are are told. Mrs.
Bishop says the snake was. spotted
and was about three feet long. For
fully twenty minutes it was flying
around the barn and they had a
good look at it, So far as she could
see there were no wings visible on
the snake yet it was flying up and
down and travelling with ease
through the air. The queer looking
snake passed out of sight and went
in the direction OF the Boonsllck
road St Charles Cosmos.

Civilizations New Terror.
From the Chicago Inter ocear

rom tHc InlcaEo inter OcedB.
New York physicians have discovered
that the high-tension electrical currents
produced in sending wireless messages
are frequent cause of toothache. a
cording 10 a dispatch from that city. ON
no other theory. they say, can the preva-
lence of toothache among wireless opera
tors. professional and amateur. be salts
factoriiy explained. II New York physi-
clans are correct in their theory the pro-
fession of dentistry will have to change
its methods to a certain extent. 1t will
not be sufficient for the dentist to be pre-
pared to pull or fill an aching tooth for
the patient who arrives al the office with
an infiamed jaw and feelings.
After diagnosing the case carefully he
may find that IL Is case of wireless
toofhache, and can only be cured by IN
sulating the patient carefully for two .or
three days in some sort of special appa-
ratus devised for the pnrpose-say. in a
container of thick glass or some other
well known non-conductor.
If the case does not seem serious
enough for that drastic treatment sbe
may find II sufficient to apply some sort
of apparatus to the patients person, thus
reducing the wireless currents of elec
trcity In his immediate neighborhood TO
a minimum when they attempt to enter
and affect his nervous system.
Or he may. perhaps think IL better 10
supply the patient with a modern dental
ada ptation of the lightning rod so deftir
arranged as TO catch and ground any
current that might be wandering AROUND
the mans vicinity without giving il
chance TO spend enough time on Nh
nerves OF his teeth to do any parti Mar
damage.
The DENTS; will also have 10 resign
himself 10 being a more frequent eSpeIt
witness in damage suits than he is 81
present. For ii goes almost without SAY
ing that anybody with a bowling wire
less toothache would seize the earliest
opportunity TO seek compensation for the
inconvenience that the wireless company
had caused him TO suffer
As for the wireless companies they
will suffer other inconyen ences than
those attendant on defending damag,
suits. We know Of nothing more caleIt-
lated to make q corporation nnpoplTsf

The Modern Novel.
From the Springfield Republican.

There is singularly little of the morbid
in contemporary fiction. When a man
plies his craft too hard he sharpens his
mind to cutting edge that may do dam
age. Solitary STUDY and reflection I'M
settle the mind. unfit one for contacts
with the easygOing unstudious world.
Out of such labors may come a work of
great genius. or only one that il strained
and unbalanced. This period at least the
modern novelist avoids. He never loses
touch with his audience Of average peo-
pie and to insure this makes his own
tastes as average as possible. There is,
of course. the danger of superficiality that
lies in wait for those who penetrate too
far into superficial things The more at
