There- is a sntl little corner in the
great public library, yet it has con
ferred happiness on a great many Chl
cngonns who are afflicted with the loss
of sight. It contains the books for
the blind. The first collection of these
books was a private undertaking of
a West side woman, who has since
died. In August, 18911, the works were
turned over to the public library and
2Covembi;r 20, 1S07, a special' room was
set aside for them in the new build
ing. Since that time a few more vol
umes have been donated. This collec
tion is not as well known as the au
thorities would desire.
Here may be seen the three well
known systems for the blind the old
Moon nnd the new Moon, then comes
the New York point, which is of much
Inter date nnd is somewhat similar to
the llraille system, yet a vast improve
ment on it in ninny ways. There nro
scarcely more than 30 readers and
only 14 regular ones. On the applica
tion of an ordinary library ticket tho
books are sent to the outlying sta
tions, with the proviso they are to bo
kept but two weeks and cannot bu re
newed. It is interesting to note that
the old people are inclined to use the
Moon system, while tho younger pre
fer the New York point. Children dis
tinguish the lines ensily by touch,
and those who have become blind by
accident invariably adopt the latter
method.
There is quite n promising boy of
about 31? who comes to read regulnrly
twice a week. lie always carries his
violin ease with him, so supposedly he
is returning from his lesson and tho
temptation to pass the library is too
great. lie has very advanced ideas on
amusements for the blind, lie owns
a pack of playing cards made on the
American type systeln and plays his
game of eribbage frequently with his
I grandfather, often coming out the
I victor.
There is a blind man on flic West
side who was taught at Jacksonville,
111., and with his left hand can
i read aloud the left-hand page,
while with n finger of his right
he can rend- to himself and tell
the listener what the latter contains
immediately after he has completed
the reading aloud of the opposite
page. Considering the time and
thought spent over the printing of
these books, their prices are not so
exorbitant. The cost of "Hen-IIur"
stands for $1-1; ."Justin McCarthy's "His

THE MAJOR'S EXPERIENCE.
From the Detroit Free Press.
One of the stanchest supporters of the
deep-water way from the Great Lakes to the
ocean is Major A. C. Uishop, of 715 Third
Ave., Detroit, a civil engineer of wide expe
rience and considerable prominence in Mis
profession. He was assistant engineer on the
Hudson Mivcr Kailroad in 1850 nnd has
since conducted larpe oiiKineering opera
tions, lie has been located in Detroit, since
1815, and has a large acquaintance among the
business men and citizens of this city.
Two years ago, for the first tune, Major
Bishop was in the hospital. l''or two months
ho had the best of medical attendance, but
when he was discharged he was not like the
Major Ilislion of old. When asked regard
ing his health, he said: "When I had my
last spell of sickness and came out of the
hospital I was a sorry sight, I could not gain
my strength, and could not walk over a block
for several weeks.
I noticed
some articles
in the newspa-
fiers regarding
)r. Williams'
1'ink Pills for
Palo People,
which con
vinced me that
they were
worth trying
and bought
two boxes. I
did not take
them for my
complcxio n
but for
strength. Aft
er using them
I felt better,
u a d k a o w
they did me worlds of good. I nm pleased
to recommend them to invalids who need
n tonic to build up their constitutions.

The pure, powerful vegetable ingredients
in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pate People
supply the antidote for poisonous matter in
the blood and add those elements needed to
build up body and brains. Many diseases
long supposed by the medical profession to
lie incurable hnvc succumbed to the potent
influence of thes-e pills. They can bo taken
by young or old, being harmless in their
nature, but powerful in eliminating disease.

A Parisian swell recently hnd a
crayon picture of himself made, which
he afterward pretended to find fnult
with. "It does not bear the slightest
resemblance to me," said he, "nnd I
will not take it." The artist protested,
but all to no avail. After the dandy
had left the painter added to the por
trait a magnificent pair of abs' ears,
nnd exhibited it in the window, thus
Tiltered, to the gaze of the curious pub
lie. It hadn't been long exposed when
the dandy entered the artist's studio
in a towering rage, and, finding flint
threats amounted to nothing, he at las,t
offered to buy it, even at a considerable
advance upon the original price. "It
wasn't strange you didn't recognize
your resemblance to the picture nt
first," said the painter, "but I knew
ou'd notice the likeness as soon as I
added thooe ears." Spare Moments.
