Blind Have No "size" Sense.
tC,o,, tI~ Ss%,nl HHn-no-

lhI' bhNA
The path of the teacher of the blind is
beset with many difficulties. one of the
greatest being the task of conveying to
their minds some idea of the size. shape
and features OF birds and animals. In
many cases. ii is true. models are used.
but owing to their small size they are,
TO say the least. OF doubtful advantage.
The ignorance OF blind children Is great.
often grotesque. A teacher of a class
may find that a child does not know
whether Il sheep or q COW is the larger,
or he may even find that a hare has
wings! However carefully they are told
that "a small model of IA COW Is only one
fortieth the size of the real animal. more
often than not they are unable to think
OF the animal as being any larger than
the model, and will stoop and describe
something about the size OF Il kitten when
asked to indicate the size of a cow. This
arises from the fact that no standard of
size. form and texture beyond those which
they set up through handiing-can exist
for those who have never had the use
OF their eyes.
Even those, who have had sight are
found TO lose their standards unless they
are renewed from time to time by actual
contact. An instance of this was noticed
not long ago. when n boy of about IL re-
covered his sight after an operation. and
for several days following went about in
a state OF surprise and fear, for almost
everything which he had not been in the
habit OF touching frequently differed con-
siderably In size from his recollections of
seven years before! The size OF his par
cnts alarmed him very much, as he i'm
agined they were much smaller.

How to Brighten Your Furs.

In the Woman's Home Companion
appears a department called the Elk
change" in which readers make va
rious practical suggestions Of value to
housewives. An Oregon contributor
makes the following suggestion about
the care OF furs:
Many find that as they wear their
furs the fur is apt to become sodden
looking and dull. A good way to
remedy this is to hang them out in the
air. then take a whislk broom. dip 1t
into grain alcohol and brush vigorously
the wrong way of the fur. Sometimes
a comb helps to loosen up the matted
parts. Use plenty Of alcohol and brush
until every inch has been covered-al-
ways brushing the wrong way OF the
fur. Let them hang until they become
thoroughly dried. pounding them oc-
c%asionally with the fiat side of the
whisk broom. When well aired, brush
with q. stiff brush the right way"

Tho Russian Soldier.

Stephen Graham in the March Atlantic
War to the Russian soldier is a great
religious experience. He liveth best
who is always ready to die" say Il
holy proverb OF the Russians. And
readiness to die is the religious side OF
war. The Russian soldier Kills his en-
envy without religious qualm, yet with
out hate. He does mo- feel that to
hoo at a fellow man, to charge at
him with a bayOnct. Is doing an evil
thing to him. The great reality that
confronts him is not that he may kill
others. but that he himself may suf-
fer terrible pain or may lose the fa-
miliar and pleasant thing called life.
In order to face this. the Russian has
to dive down deep in himself and find
a deeper self below his ordinary self:
he has to find the common spirit of
man below his own ego: he has to live
in communion with the fount Of life
from which his IVY little stream of
life is flowing. No relic OF the war is
more precious han the little loaf Of
holy bread which the soldier saves
from his last communion before going
to battle or going under fire for the
first time.
The Russian soldiers go to wal very
much In the same spirit as the Rus
sian pilgrims go oward Jerusalem.
Indeed many q man was just about to
start out for Jerusalem when the war
broke out n he was summoned to
fight against tht Germans. In the fields
of East Prussia and OF Poland he found
as vcritable a Jerusalem as that he
sought In Palestine. 1t is perhaps "a
shorter way thither.

The first newspaper printed In North

Usher, Benjamin Harris, proposed to
get ii out monthly. but the authorities
came down on the project like a ton
of brick and Harris had to aban-
don the scheme.
Publik Occurrences was printed on
three pages of a folded sheet. the
pages being 7x11 inches in size. 1t
was printed by Il. Pierce for Benja-
min Harris at the London Coffee

legged that it contained reflections OF
