Blind Grocer's Clerk.
The stuff heroes are made of Is
never more clearly Illustrated than In
the case of men who , without the excitement .
cltement of battle , calmly prepare to
meet inevitable misfortune. When
John E. Borden of Jobstown , N. J. ,
realized that blindness was to be his
fate he was a young man clerking in
a grocery store. A wealthy sister offered .
fere ] aid that his burden might bo
lightened ; , but he would have none of
it. Deciding that In no other place
could he find so much freedom and
consequent enjoyment as amid stir
roundlngs with which he was already
familiar , he began impressing them on
his mind as his sight continued _ to fall ,
Developing the senses of touch an
hearing to a rmnarlmblo degree he
continued to care for the horses , and
open and close the store. Likewise ,
he continued to drive about the country .
try soliciting orders , and never forgot
how to put up orders as accurately as
a person possessing full sight. lie
quotes prices on all kinds of machines .
chines , explains their mechanism , and
conducts patrons through the ware-
house as though he were laboring tinder -
der no disadvantages , and because oC
his determination not to give tip to
his affliction gets much more out of
life than many of his more fortunate
but less brave brethren.

at Regensb\IJ'g ( Ratlsbon ) , In Bavaria
Is the oldest hotel In Ellrope. .Iing
Ferdinand 1. halted at It on his way to

hotel In Europe possesses records of
such great antlqlllt as the Golden
Cross at Ratlsbon does or can boast of
having had so many royal visitors as
have enjoyetl Its hospitalll
The existing vlsltol's' books , which
date from 1819 , contain the names of
more than 500 Imperial , royal and
princely personages. The room Is
shown where , In 1865 , the late Prince
Bismarck that time Prussian minister .
Ister , slept when he came with his
sovereign to hold the conference
which wan the last attempl to prevent
war between Austria and Prussia. The
negotiations were held In the "small
hall" of the hotel , under the presidency .
cy of King William of Prussia.
The host Is equally proud oC the autographs -

letters which ho possesses : The au ,

strated when a bulldog owned by Wil-
lIam Corwin saved the life of the
man's two-year-old son \VllIle.
The little fellow was playing In the
street In the vicinity of his home In
Berkeley , Colo. A car came Howling
-
along Just as the little fellow started
to cross the thoroughfare.
He stumbled and fell , and to onlookers .
lookers it seemed that he could not
possIbly avoId being run over. Then
tao dog shot out from the sidewalk

the little fellow In his teeth , and drag.
god him to safety as the motornman
was using nIl his efforts to check the
Sileed of his car.
The little fellow's trousers were lit.
ernlly torn from his body by the teeth
of the dog , but the faIthful canine suc
ceeded In dragging Its infantile master .
tCI' to safety before the garment gave

1'he near approach to death of the
baby was witnessed by Policeman
KeJ'sten and several others , but it all
happened ] so quickly that no one bet

ago are alive and thriving. Curator
Crandall has obtained a foster.mother
for them In a female Irish setter.
The dog nurses time cubs , and her
mill appears to agree with them. The
dog , however , does not yet mother the
little ones. That Is , while she POl'

die them and protect them with her
body from the cold. It is , therefore ,
necessary to keep them in a large
box , cotton lined and tilled with hot
water bags. For this reason it Is
necessary to keep a constant' watch
UPOI1 them to see that they do not be-
come ill or die from exposur
"I am in hopes ! that the dog will
soon maUleI' them , " said 1\11' Crandall.
" \Vhen she does , It will not be' neces-
nary to watch tl } m constantly , as the
warmth or the dog's body will be all
the protection they need from the
woather. "

California Salt Farm.
One of the strangest of farms in the
country , if not 111 the whole world , If
situated in southern California , 205
feet below the level of the sea. ThE' '
Place Is known as Sallon. It Is a salt
farm of about 1,000 acres. Here the
salt lies , as deposited by nature from
six inches to sixteen inches In depth.
The salt farmers are busy harvesting
this crop the year round : and , though
the harvest has continued for twenty
years , during which time , more than
40,000 tons of salt has been harvesto.
only ten of the 1,000 acres of the farm
have been touched.
The salt Is first plowed ] up Into furrows .
rows : It Is then thrown into conical
plies by men with barrows , after
which It Is taken to the reductios
works , near br , and put Into marketable .
able condition. The work Is done by
Mexicans and Chinamen , time intense
heat being more than the while man
can endure.
