BLIND PEOPLE SWIM STRAIGHT.
Keep Course with Marvelous Direct

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.

LIKE (???) OTHER CAUCUSES.
Fashion Set by Hannibal Hamlin Not
Infrequently Followed.
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
