a DULL. monotonous life we live.
n With no reward and with none
to give
We breakfast dine and sup, and then
We breakfast, dine and we sup again,
And the world wags on, nor knows nor
cares
How one of the Host of the Lonely
fares,
Nor spares the pity that might atone
For sitting here at our bread-alone.
No heads to bow in a fervent grace,
No sunny smiles in the baby's place,
No table chat of the blessings wrought
Or love and cheer that the daytime
brought:
No soft caress when the day is done
No evening hour for romp and fun
No word or smile from our loving own
For us who sit at our bread-alone
And yet. there's tears in a passer's eye
He quickens his pace as he hurries by;
He cherishes closer the visions of
The home that waits and the arms OF
love;
His smiles new hope and his thanks
express,
That's stirred by us and our loneliness.
Then who shall say we no mission own
Who sit in the shadows and live
alone?

First PrOhibitiOnists
BY REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

~ NE hundred and seventy nine
years ago, the governing body
of Georgia. by a unanimous
vote, prohib ited the use of rum in
the province.
Thus it will be seen that this
action of the Georgia authorities
antedates that of Neal Dow and
the Maine people by one hundred
and twenty mine years. So far as
our country is concerned, the kings
trustees in Georgia were the orig
inal prohibitionists. While as yet
Maine was an unorganiZed wilder
ness. untenanted save by the In
dian and the bull moose, the Geor-
gia temperance decree was on it's
way across the Atlantic for sigma
ture by the king and the commons.
The royal signature was obtained.
and for ten years the Georgians
had to get along without rum. 1t
may be well to state in this con-
necdon that nearly all of the Geor-
and SCOtChmen.
AS long ago as the time of Taci-
tus we read OF the thirst" Of the
Teutons, and from time immemorial
the men of the heather have been
accredited with being very fond of
their "toddy." But the trustees of
the crown meant business and for
a decade Georgia was dry"
But in those days, as is the case
in our own time. there were power

in her imagination as she reads
are not exactly those which we see,
they are none the less true and
charming to her.
SHE WRITES-in ordinary
characters, although she can not
see what she writes. In her let
tiers she says to her friends: Il
am glad to SEE you" She has a
cheerful soul, and she laughs and
claps her hands when she is
pleased She knows exactly what
she lacks in physical endowment.
She knows that she is poor, and
that her friends are poor, and she
wishes that she could gain money.
She has learned that money is pow
er in this world, but she appreci-
ates its limitations also.
And all this has been gained SOLE
ly through her hands. NJ Bor-
deaux is quite right to call it the
Miracle of the Hands" But to
many it will appear to be far more
than that-it is the MIRACLE OF
THE SOUL.
Souls in Prison.
1t proves that something is born
in us which does not depend upon
mere physical senses. The senses
are simply instruments They act
through vibration. Sight depends
upon the vibrations of the ether;
hoo y~in hn viii I'm
parted from solid objects. If we
had hundred physical senses
would the nature Of the soul be
changed? Do we distinguish be-
tween the ideas of right and wrong
by virtue of our senses? If none
of US had been born with any more
senses than poor Marie Heurtin
has. would not those ideas still
have existed in our minds? Her
education has been an education
in the true sense of the word
(e-duco, to lead out'). The ideas
were not created for her by her
teachers: they existed already, and
only needed to be taught a form
of expression.
1t is this which gives its high
philosophical interest to the teach
ing of deaf. dumb and blind mutes.
They are as another French writer
has aptly and eoquently said,
souls in prison" We are all pris-
oners of that kind, but not in the
same degree. We all FEEL that
we are prisoners, for there is no in
telligent person who is not con-
WINGED that his five senses are not
enough to place him in complete
touch with nature Just as the
French girl has been led to reCog-
niZe the fact that she lacks many
things which other human beings
ossess-although even with her
imperfect physical organization.
she is able to show that she COM
prehends their highest ideas-so
every one of us, who carefully eX-
amines himself. knows full well
that he has impressions, ideas. as
piratiOns which do not depend upon
sight or hearing or touch, and to
which language can not give ex-
preston. Is it a very extravagant
supposition, then, that there may be
beings. far more perfectly endowed
than We are, who take in us an
interest similar to that which we
take in the Helen Kellers, the Laura
Bridgmans and the Marie Heur-
tins, striving to cause us, to com
prehend things which lie beyond the
range of our narrow prison, with
its five pitiful little windows?
But here we touch the frontier
OF the domain of speculation.

STAGE STRUCK AT FORTY
By WINFRED BLACK.
By HAL COLEMAN.

"Crazy-every one Of them-cra-
~ as bats. Think they can go on
the stage and fasclnate the public
after they've brought up all their
children and got father comfortable
at the club. It's really too bad"
And, really, do you know, ] be-
lieve it is too bad. ! wonder what
on earth it all means?
What has become of all the good
comfy women we used to know
women who were forty and glad of
it; women who let out their cor
sets and put on loose shoes. and
tied their hats on with rubber
and let it go at that?
All gone-disappeared vanished
into the beauty parlors to be made
over into twenty. l wonder why?
Forty Is the Fine Age.
Forty is the fine age, the most
comfy age in the world. if we'd
only live it. No more weepy hours
because "he danced oftener with
that CREATURE than with me-" no
more miserable nights trying to
figure out just how to manage to
make over the old frock so your
dearest friend wouldn't know it.
You had a struggle of it that first
year or so, but the business is set
tied now, and things are going
pretty well.
Fat? OF course you're fat. You
ought to be at forty. You know
what to eat and how to eat it; you
know when to rest and how to en-
joy it; you can pick out the kind
of book you like at one glance;
you can tell the summer bore with
one look, and you understand just

exactly how to get rid of him.
Tanned? Pooh, what do you care!
You can throw back your veil and
love the wind and the sun and
glory of all outdoors, while poor lit
tie Sweet and Twenty has to swad
die herself in gauze to keep that
complexion that is the only thing
she has.
Friends? Hosts of them-all the
sort you want; you've learned how
to get rid of the other sort
Enemies? Not one in the world.
You have found out what a nui-
sance it is to stay awake nights
and hate anybody on earth.
Moonlight, music, love and flow
ers-you've had them all, and have
them yet if you amount to any
thing; and you can wear your old
shoes out into the moonlight and be
comfy.
Forty is the glorious age. the
comfy age. the age of reason, the
age of delicious understanding. the
time of quiet friendships and help

Why, you can speak to the lone
some young fellow in the train at 40
and say something to comfort him,
At twenty you would have to
bride if he even looked your way.
Life, life, life-full, rich, album
dant, friendly. open-eyed, sane,
joyous, understanding life-that's
what 40 means at its best. Who
would give it up for the longings,
the wonderings, the uncertainties,
the anXieties, the sad hopes of
twenty-who but my friend who is
going on the stage" Poor thing,
what a miserable time she'll have
when she wakes up from her fool
ish dream!
Get the chance? Why. of course
she will. She has money, and some
one wants some of it. She'll get
the chance, all right-in Peoria,
or Metuchen, or anywhere where
the sad. sad spectators sit some
wretched night and gaze at each
other. and wonder what it all
means. and what she is trying to
do in the red frock in the first act
and the spangles in the second,
aud the cigarettes all through.
All Ashamed of Her.
And husband, and the boy in col
lege, and the girl at home from

they'll all be ashamed Of Mama
and when all her money is gone.

she's been, and she'll tell husband

n TRENCH writer OF reputation,
n Henri Bordeaux, has just
been visiting a school for
blind deaf mutes near Poitiers, and
his establishment over what he saw
leads him, in one of the great Paris
newspapers, to characteristic
outburst of sentimentality. But
out of the bushel of literary chaff
which he offers, one can pick a
few grains of very interesting facts,
which are we'll calculated to in
spire reflection.
We will take simply his account
of a young girl named Marie
(Mary) Heurtin. She was born
blind, deaf and mute. She has
never seen the world around her,
nor heard its voice, nor been able
to communicate with it in any other
evident way than by touch. She
comes of an humble family, ignor-
ant of all the higher studies, by
means of which we imagine we at
tain an intellectual elevation that
must be inComprehensible to crea-
lures less fully endowed than our
selves.
Her relatives could do nothing for
her or with her Having themselves
all the ordinary faculties of human
beings, they thought that she. who
seemed to lack everything, was
doomed to pass her life in dull,
blind ignorance, without wish, or
thought, or aspiration-eating
drinking and sleeping; inoompara-
bly, more helpless than a brute
animal. Perhaps they thought she
had mind, but they believed there
was no way to reach it.
But a good sister of charity
found the way. l do not know the
details of her operations, but they
can not have differed essentially
from those practiced in the cases
of Helen Keller and Laura Bridg-
man, whose histories are so well
known in America. Under that
dull exterior, which presented to
the outer, world but a single mar
row avenue of approach-the sense
of touch-was found a human soul
as full of possibilities as that of
any person possessing all the
senses. Marie Heurtin had only
one of the three senses which we
are accustomed to regard as the
most important, but with it's sole
ai oh no
the world around her that she sim
ply amazes her visitors. She un-
derstands what light is, although
she can not see it; what. sound is.
although she can not hear it.
She has been taught to compre-
bend the ideas Of POVERTY, AGE
AND DEATH.
Fond of Reading.
She weeps when she is informed
of the death of a friend.
She wept when she read with
her fingers. on the types that are
furnished for the blind, of the
putting out of Samson's eyes. She
pitied him, and she did not want
him to become like herself
She is very fond of reading
which is done only with her fingers,
