Pep-ha- u, made up his mind to provide a remedy for this deplorable state of After many fruitless eiforts, things. he interested the government in his scheme, and on Jan. 1, 1S83, was formally opened the Ecole (school) originally Braille, which, though founded in Paris, has now been transferred to the pretty country town of Saint Mande. Once, however, that a blind child has the good fortune to find himself an inmate of the Ecole Braille, his lot may be envied by his more fortunate brother or sister, for each blind scholar is not only carefully taught all that the ordinary French child learns In the primary government schools, but also si ares in the advantages of a splendidgymna-siuand delightful playground. Most people have heard of the Braq'le system of teaching the blind, but probably few realize exactly in what It consists. The sense of touch or feeling Is very highly developed among those who are without sight, and It is extraordinary to what an extent this sense can be cultivated and increased. The Braille system simply consists of developing and applying the sense of touch till through it the pupil can be taught everything, from the alphabet to basket-makinIn other words, although it may seem paradoxical to say is done to develop so, everything among the blind the sense of observation. Indeed, in some ways the inmates of the institution would seem to be even more intelligent and quick than are ordinary children, and, as a rule, they reply to the questions put to them by their masters and mistresses quickly and accurately. Nothing can be more strange, and at the same time more pathetic, than the spectacle of a natural history lesson at he Ecole Braille. Before each pupils is put the model of an animal. Immediately a number of little hands are seen rapidly passing over the model, seeking out the eyes, the feet, the teeth, the tail. Then comes the answer in chorus, "This is a dog, or This is a duck, teacher," giving as clearly as may be what has led each pupil to the right conclusion. The same system is pursued In every case, and some extraordinary results have been achieved with the help of raised maps and terrestrial globes. As the visitor turns round the globe, he can ask a pupil to indicate to him a town in Asia, Europe or America, and after a few moments, the right spot or raised dot, will be Indicated, Another excellent fashion of teaching geography is by the help of those wooden puzzles which, when completely fitted togethThe er, form the section of a map. blind child does not, as a rule, care to play or run about. He has to be taught all the usual games, but after a very short time at Samt Mande a new pupil becomes as keenly anxious to take his part in the playground as elsewhere.

UThi!e A BOON FOR A Remedy W SUFFERERS. hlrh Use Cured More Than 1,000,000 People Drops is the name of a powerful remedy which is guaranteed to cure 5 rheumatism, neuraliga, catarrh, asthma, la grippe and kindred ailments. The company is entirely safe In making the guaiantee, because every month they receive thousands of graUful letters from those who were sufferers, but have never received one complaint. The effect of 5 Drops is felt at once. James Williams of ilegent, 111., writes on November 12, 1897: My wife has been suffering two years with rheumatism. She used about one bottle of 5 Diops,' and can now go without her crutches. To more extensively advertise the merits of this remedy the producers will for the next thirty days send out ino.OuO of their sample bottles of this positive cure for 25 cents a bottle by mail prepaid. Iarge bottle, 200 doses, $1 (for thirty days 3 bottles $2.5o).

In a. very real sense every thought pondered every feeling Indulged is a deed performed. There may, in truth, be no action visible to the world, but nevertheless something has been done. Character has been modified, for gool or ill. The man who thinks and feels, who desires, w ho resolves, who loves, who hates, has wrought a deed upon a man himself. Invisible as these deeds of brain and heart may be, it is not long before the slow but sure transformation which they work becomes visible In establishing a character, good or bad. It makes a difference what thoughts and feelings we indulge, no matter whether we seem to act or not. Sometime we shall act because of them. S. S. Times.

In the latter stage of digestion, when comminution of the mass is incomplete, it is much facilitated by a moderate draught of water, which disintegrates and dissolves the contents of the stomach, fitting it for emul-genand preparing it for assimilation. Hence the hahit of drinking water in moderate quantities between meals contributes to health and indicates the fact that those who vi3it health resorts for the purpose of imbibing the waters of mineral spring might profit by staying at home and drinking more water and less whisky. Water is the universal solvent of nature, and the chief agent in all transformations of matter. When taken into an empty stomach it soon begin to pass out through the tissues into the circulation to liquefy effete solids, whose excretion from the pystem is thus facilitated. Very few people think of the necessity of washing the Inside as well as the outside of the body, and he who would be perfectly healthy should be as careful about the cleanliness of his stomach as that of his skin.
