of burning grease which are spread out
among the dishes of food upon the
floor. The Brnhman eats the meal
which the widows proffer, and then
gets up, shakes himself, strokes his fat
stomach and waddles of without n
word, his large ~liver-colored calves
shining In the smoky flicker Of the
lamps.
Next day I came again, and another
scene was being enacted. There were
the same little brass dishes on the
floor; but the Brahman was old and
thin, and n whole family squatted be-
fore him, making due postures. while
he muttered the sacred texts. And
still the barefooted worshipers shut
fled lncuriously by.

Blind Taught ~Typewrltins.


Blind men have also a great range
Of work thrown open 10 them. in
England all OF them are taught to
typewrite; and each, on leaving the
school, is given n typewriter, so that
he car also attend TO his correspond
ence. To typewrIte really seems to
come by nature nowadays. For a
trade they may choose either mas.
sage, machinery adjusting, net making,
piano tuning, brush making. pottery.
or any one OF many more.
II Is, Of course. of little avail IN
teach n disabled man a trade and then
TO turn him out to seek IN employer.
Employers ne all "from Missouri"
md hesitate to employ disabled men.
Hence Uncle Sam. like his allies. will
have to find Jobs for his pupils and
be able to guarantee that they can do
their work. Some Of these pupils, by
the way, will be willing TO work any
where, some will work only near their
homes. and some will be outrageously
persnlckety both as to location and EN-.
ployers. Uncle Sam will try to satisfy
them all. Moreover, he is planning to
establish, as none of the allies has yet
done. a follow-up system, by which. II
a man gets discouraged and quits. Un-
Gle Sam will know Of II and will do
his best to start him upward and on
ward again
