The Blind Need Windows.

Light has use. even If men cannot or
will not see it. Barring Gould tells of an
institution for the blind that was built
in England without windows Why"
argued the committee. should We pro-
vide windows for those that cannot see
out of them:" So scientific ventilation
and heating were provided. but the
walls were left unpierced by any pane
OF glass. But soon the poor inmates
grew pale. and great languor fell
upon them. They fell sick, and one or
two died. Then it was that the COM
mittee decided to open windows In the
walls. l. ame the healing light, and
the huni~. plants responded to it at
once in revived spirits. rudy cheeks
and restored health. Light is good. the
Light of the World is good, even for
those who shut their eyes.-Christian

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERs

We need. social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the di-
rection of cultured, clean and COM
petent leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as well as the business of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives of
our people can properly function
around 1t and become supplied with
the necessary elements of human
thought and activity.

Fame of a Tailor.

The name of Captain Keayne has
secure niche in history as the founder
Of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
company. He was merchant tailor
and had been a member of the Honora-
BILE Artillery company Of London, and
his Boston company had to overcome
the opposition of Governor Winthrop,
who feared the establishment of Pre-
torian guard. Perhaps Keayne would
have failed entirely had he not been
distinguished for his piety and benev'
olence" In the practice of his art as q
tailor he ran foul of the laws for tho
regulation of business and was fined
f200 by the great and general court for
exacting more than sixpence in the
shilling profit on foreign goods. He
died in Boston March %, 1856. and bis
