HAD EYES, BUT SAW NOT.

Then She Realized What II Really
Meant to es Blind.
Were you ever blind for an entire
evening Of your life-blind in the midst
of a jolly company who were sewing
and chatting and didn't In the least
realize your pight?" asked a social
worker recently. That was what
happened to me not long ago. and l
must say it was most uncomfortable
experience l sympathize with per-
sons who have lost their sight now as
l never did before.
"You see, l went to call upon a
young girl from my home town who is
being educated in private institution
for the blind near here l had been to
see her before. and so l was prepared
for the way her companions crowded
about me, felt my clothes, my hands
and my face and remarked everything
had on, saying, How becoming her
hat is-how pretty she looks.' and so
on. Nor was / surprised when my
friend conducted me through the class
rooms. pointing out the new work and
displaying some fine lace work she had
started that morning. quite as though
she could see it all.
"But on this visit, for the first time,
was invited to stay for supper and
spend the evening with the girls. l
was delighted to accept the invitation
and enjoyed the meal. which was serv-
ed by sighted mattresses in a well
lighted dining room. But after that
my experience came. We walked from
the dining room into dim halls, and as
we mounted the stairs to the sitting
room we walked into utter darkness.
l began to envy my friend, who trip
ped lightly by my side. while could
only grope my way awkwardly. Once
in the sitting room / felt for chair
and dropped into it, waiting for the
lights to be turned on. But the laugh
ter and the chatter went on uncon-
cernedly about me-. and after a few
minutes it dawned upon me that lights
were not necessary in an institution
for the blind at night; that the sitting
room was no darker for those girls
then than it had been all through the
beautiful. sunny day l had enjoyed so
much. AS my eyes grew a bit ac-
customed to the darkness could per-
ceive that the girls had drawn their
chairs up around mine and were busy
with embroidery and lace making as
they talked.
"And for the rest Of the evening
sat there trying not to let my blind
ness fret me, not to appear stupid
when the girls, forgetful of my Attic
ton, held up their work for my inspec-
ton. That was the time / realized
what it really is to be blind."-New

SASH WINDOWS.
Probably a Dutch Invention of the
Seventeenth Century.

Probably Dutch Invention of the
Seventeenth Century.
The history of sash windows is some
what obscure. but the probability is
that they were a Dutch invention and
that they were introduced into Eng
land soon after the revolution of 1858.
The derivation of the word SASH in
this sense is the Dutch ''sas," sluice-
old English 'sasse." In Queen Anne's
reign they were yet so comparatively
uncommon as to be mentioned as a
special feature Of houses that were
advertised as Ito let" In the Taller.
for instance, No. IFS. May 27-3O. ITO.
there is this advertisement:
ITO be lett. in Devonshire Square,
near Bishopsgate, very good Brick
House of 3 Rooms of Floor, and a
good Hall, with very good light and
dark Closets. the whole House being
we'll wainscoted and sash'd with 80
Sash Lights. a very pleasant and con-
venient Office below Stairs" etc.
From England they passed into
France, where the first to put them up
was Marshal de Lorge at his new
house at Montmartre. Speaking of
this. Lister in 1900 writes in his "Jour-
ney to Paris" 1--WE had the good for
tune here to find the marshal himself.
He showed us his great sash windows.

Civilization

A Japanese diplomatist is said to
have exclaimed: "For 1000 years we
kept peace with the rest of the world
and were known to it but by the mar
vels of our delicate ethereal art and
the finely wrought productions of our
ingenious handicrafts. and we were
accounted barbarians, But from the
day on which we made war on other
nations and killed many thousands of
our adversaries you at once admit our
claim to rank among civilized nations"
On reading the foregoing in the Java
Times we are reminded of Professor
Kenny's story Of the shipwrecked mar
liner. who at dawn came across a
gibbet and exclaimed. Thank God,

BoWinu In 1880,

Bowling in 1850 was quite a cere-
mOny, judging from the rules for do
ing it properly, given in the Atlantic:
'If you bow to any one passing by
do it in this manner: Raise the right
hand to your hat gracefully.
"Put your forefnger as far as the
crown and your thumb under the
brim, and then raise it from your head
gracefully and easily.
Look at the person you bow to, and
hold your body gently forward.
Hold your left arm straight down
at your side, neither drawing it for
ward or backward
"Move the right leg, if the person
goes by on the right side. and keep
the other firm.

side move the left leg and keep the
right firm.

WITcHcRAFT IN SCOTLAND.

Beatrice Layns's Fate 1t the Hands 81
the Mob In 17o5.
That belief in witchcraft and brutal
treatment Of alleged witches once
doomed large in Scotland Is shown in
Stewart Dicks 1.-THE Pageant of the
Forth" In Jos Pittenweem gained
unenviable notoriety from series Of
prosecutions of old women. and the
pamphleteers of the day were kept
busy on both sides In defending and
denouncing the action of the magis-
trates. The author says:
1T seems that blacksmith, one
Patrick Morton. being taken i'll, de-
clared that he was bewitched, and on
his instigation a number of old wom-
en- were thrown into prison. Bullied
by the magistrates and ministers Of
the town by day and tortured by their
guards by night, who never let them
sleep, but kept them awake by prick
ing them with pins. these miserable
old women were soon induced to con-
fess anything.
Zone woman in particular, Beatrice
Laying, had been singled out by Nor
ton for his special vengeance. He
said that she came asking him to
make some nails for her He. believ-
ing they were for some evil purpose,
refused to do so, and she went of
muttering imprecations. When he fell
i'll she was heard to say, He MIGHT
blame his ane tongue for his ILL., On
this tissue Of trivialities she was i'm
prisoned, and practically under tor
ture she acknowledged to the minis
tiers and magistrates that she had
made wax image of Morton and
stuck pins in it.
after long period Of judicial bull
lying she was set free or, in other
words, handed over to the mob to
work their will on her. Hanged on a
rope between a ship and the shore,
she was pelted with stones till half
dead and finally pressed to death un-
der a door. 1t seems that in those
days no one was safe against the
widest accusations which might be
brought against him.

WEBsTER's BLUE COATS.
His Liking For the Color Came From
His Early Homespun Suits.

His Liking For the Color Came From
His Early Homespun Suits.
Daniel Webster went to Dartmouth
college in a homespun suit Of which
probably every thread was carded,
spun and woven by his mothers hand
from the wool of their own sheep. 1t
was a dyed in the wool suit, and the
color was indigo blue.
In the south butternut was used; but.
though the Yankee danes knew all
about the uses of butternut bark and
the subtle power for slate color that
lay in the sumac berries and bark Of
white maple and were not unacquaint-
ed with the various dyes that root and
flower, bark and leaf could be made to
yield through the agency of vitriol and
alum and copperas to "set" them fast.
the universal standby in New England
was the blue pot, par excellence the
"dye pot" that stood in the chimney
corner of every kitchen in that region.
So Webster was fitted out in indigo
blue from collar to ankle Before
reaching Hanover there came on one

CR0CODILES IN WATER.
Practically Invisible Themselves, They
See, Hear and Breathe.

Practically Invisible Themselves, They
See, Hear and Breathe.
The crocOdiles are thoroughly aquat-
ic in their habits, and their peculiar
conformation enables them to attack
and seize their prey unawares. Their.
nostrils, which lead by a long canal to
the back part of their threats, their
eyes and their ears, are placed on the
upper part of the head, so that when in
the water they can breathe, see and
hear, while they are themselves prac-
tically invisible. When they dive their
nostrils and ears are closed by lids or
valves, and their eyes are covered by
a transparent nictitating membrane.
They are further furnished with an ar
rangement which prevents the water
from getting down their own threats
when they are holding large animals
under the water to drown them.
The dentition of these reptiles is pc
culiar. The teeth are sharp and con-
ical and are hollow at the base, and
each tooth serves as the sheath of an
other, which will in time replace it.
The tOngue-fOr Notwithstanding the
ancient belief the crocodile does pos
sess tongues feshy and,is attached
to the bottom of the mouth. And final
ly the lower jaw is hinged at the very
back of the skull, thus giving the ami
NAL its extraordinary cape and also
the peculiar appearance which caused
the notion that it moved it's upper jaw.

Oriqin of a Postal Custom.

The steamship Oregon was lost off
Fire island ON March IA. 1856. She
was rammed by a coastwise schooner,
remaining afloat for half an hour. a
time which made it possible to save
every person aboard. When her mail
was fished up and delivered the pieces
were stamped with statement that
they had been in the wreck. the first
instance of a practice which is now
employed by direction of the interna-
tional postal union. The credit for
this simple device is believed to be
due to Edward M. Morgan. at that
time in subordinate position in the
New York postoffice. who foresaw that
a few minutes work with rubber
stamp would forestall an infinitude of
complaint-New York Sun.
