BLIND PEOPLE SWIM STRAIGHT. Keep Course with Marvelous Direct ness, Guided by Sound. Just as some professional singers with magnificent voices never learn to sing in perfect tune, so do the train ers of really fine swimmers often fin ! It impossible that men with every quality for racing otherwise can he made or taught to swim even in a:i approximately straight line. Many a splendid swimmer is bent en on this account, for his Inveterate habit of getting off his course natural* !.v gives him a roundabout journey. Hut the remarkable fact remains* that blind swimmers of whom there are in this country a considerable number in connection with various institutions for persons so afflicted—universal!? and without exception swim with marvelous directness; indeed In as perfectly straight a line as is humanly possible, even when tli* distance cov ered is very considerable. Blind swimmers can, it appears, cn hearing a noise in any given direction not only swim absolutely straight to the point whence the noise proceeds, bu: when left to themselves their leering is ju*t as aqeura'e.

Two Kinds of Criticisms. “I nm going to read you my sonnet to ’Persephone’s Left Elbow,’” nn nonneed Miss Amnm Teuritre to her betrothed. “I wnnt you to give r i perfectly frank criticism, jupt th simple truth, as though you did n know me at all.” When she had finished, her lover spoke solemnly: “1 do not dare speak frankly, but I will say th there is a trace of a hint of a possib; future promise.” The following week she married a freight handler who had worshiped her for years and who declared that the sonnet was finer’n silk.

The old saw says that “politics makes strange bedfellows,” and It is likewise a iact that the professional politician is frequently moved by the “cxiger.cicr. of the case,” to acts that wdll not Kiand close scrutiny. Not alone i 3 this so in the present clay, but it v;a ; so “in the days of the fa tbers.” When Hannibal Hamlin first began Lis political career he was once at a caucus in Hampden, the only at tendant b sides hiir.3elf being a citi zen or very tall stature ar.d ponder ous build. Mr. Hamlin had some res olutions to pass which began by repre senting that they were presented to a “largo and respectable” gathering of voters, and he proceeded to read and “vote” them onto the records of the caucus. “Hold on!" cried the other man. “We can’t pass that, for it ain’t true." “What isn't true?" demanded the wily Hamlin. “It ain’t a large and respectable caucus,” objected the other member of the assembly. “There’s only two of us.” “That’s all right, brother, that’s all right," assured Hamlin. “It goes a3 read. Just you keep still. This Is a large and respectable caucus, ail right. You’re large and I am respectable.” And the resolution “passed" without further demur. PECULIAR STATUES OF KINGS. Rulers of Dahcme Represented In Guise of Beasts. In Man Prof. J. G. Frazer dir.cuss?? three remarkable statues of kings of Dahome now deposited in the Troca dero museum. The figures are symbol bolical. each king being represented in the guise of an animal. Thus. Guezo who reigned from 1818 to 1858, and was known as "the cock,” is represent ed by a man covered with feathers: Guelele (1858-89), “the lion,” as a Hon rampant; Behanzin. his successor, who was finally deposed by the French, known as “the shark,” appears as a dogfish graced with the arms and sup ported by human legs. The “feathers ’ which once covered the statue of Guezo are nothing but metal plates, nails, gimlets and scraps of old iron. Prof. Frazer observes that the ess ence cf these statues s"en:s to prov. that certain kings of Dahome habit ually posed as certain fierce animals or as birds. They possibly intended by this means to serve some magical purpose. At any rate, they cannot be totems hereditary in the male line, since they differed in three successive generations traced from father to sen. Superiority to All Law. Tb< re is something*servile in the habit of seeking after a law which we may obey. We may study laws of matter at and for our convenience, but a succe33ful life knows no law. It is an unfortunate discovery certainly, that cf a law which bind 3 us where tv? did not know before wo wore bound Live free, child of the mist—and with respect to knowledge we are all child ren of the mist.
