Mrs. V'ck Irvin. wife of Riehird Irvin, til? New Y rk har.Rt.-r, e.nj ys a distinction which can Lc claim- d by ft-w women in the. eastern m.-irop olis. She is almost as well kn-.wn in the factory and workship district.--of the city as she is in local circles of Murray 1 1 ill. I':vv:ms to her marriage file was popular in society, and since her union to Mr. Iiviu that popularity has Mr. teadily srrown b-yond the circles which alone at one time knew her. For years she has devot-d mueh time. mon--y and patincf i'j works of practical ph'.la::thropy am'C the poT, chi'-lly working uirls, hundreds of whom in Xew York fairly id lize hr. One of h-T favorite instituti ns is to be found at the old Kp'phany h nne, '.oca!-'d at Stant.in-st.. in the h -art of a district that aff rJ- an unlimited ti-id for the work in which Mrs. Irvin takes sueh delight. H-re every tfiturJay she personally conducts a s-'wins sch.l. w'.o -li is reirularly attended by a laree number of eas-t-fide cirls who but f ;r Mrs. Irvin's efforts would never i.lt:ti:i instruction in this h'slily nc- ssary branch of domestic educati n. Another work in which this society 1-ol-r is dr-ply ia: r:-ted is the new hospital on W. Thlrty-eljrhth-st., which had Its inception a! ut a jear apo. Hh is also a leadir.p spirit in numerous working Birls' clubs. Child Training a Fine Art. Miss Elizabeth Hirr:sn. in her lecture on the "Value of the Study of Kaee Ievelopment ;is a (Juide to the Training of Children," said: "The evidences that the child pn?.? thmup'i the same stages of development as the rice are rnny. Amonp them are the c h ld's I jve of tr:pht c lors. his way of icp uinp sounds w.th tut melody, his joy in d orating him-vlf. hi.s use of nouni and vei-ns, his crude drawings anl his gymb-'lio liapuig, as wheh he speaks of a 'bti-h 1 of live.' All these are very early nnnlfestati )'. "The m th r should understand these Steps and n t vi dite the child's pradml and w'ales mi? development by forci:.g him too rapidly throuph them. For instance, when the child has reached th? stace that corresp onds t that of the tribal rendition, when the love of family life is forming, h? should not be forced to go to strangers ur pushed i hastily through this period. For this reason hotels and boarding houses are bid for children and may entirely wipe out all the Ijvc for home they would hive otherwise developed. ( miing . nit of the tribal conditions, th5 long- to see s meilVmg of the out.-lde w.rld. livery instinct prompts him to explore and discover things. M ithers should not punish th-ir children for thjse unp -rmitted excursions, lut should ins: ad substltu:. ?om thiig for them, such as trips to the market, fih ort walks or visits tj hous;s where there are other children, thus s itlstying the instinct. "Later the child will insist, on having hlA own. bureau driwer, hLs own si.le of th- w.irdr )!e, just as hLs savage ancestors did. Still later will come tli unfolding of his mind to right and justice, as when he appeals to his mother t settle disputes with his brothers. For instance, he will demand thit his brothee give him his ball or oth r toy n t because he wants it at the time, but be .-a use he wants to test the court of ju-tke to s-ee watt her it will d) him absfraet right. I'.y understanding that these pharos of ;h-- child's life are perfectly normal ml nituril and not nitrp perversity the m ther will know how to treat them." Feminine Writing. When a man writes, he wants ponip and circumstance and eternal .space from which to draw. If he writes at home, he needs a study or a library, and he wants the key 1 st and the keyhole pasted over fo that nobody can disturb him. His finished pn. ducts are of much importance to him, and for a tim he wond rs why the planets have not changed their rbi:s or the suns-hiii' ucoulred a new brilliancy because he his written something by a cast iron in.-th A woman picks up some scraps of a copyb ok r the back of a pattern, sharpens her p-n il with the scissors or gnaws the end sharper.

A man's best efforts, falling short of genius, are apt to be stilted, but the woman who writes will often, with the stump of a pencil anl amid the distractions above mentioned, produce a tender bit of a poem, a dramatic situation or a page of description that, thoush critics raves, lives on. travels through the exchanges and finds? a place in the scrapbooks of the men and women who know a good thing when they see it. whether there is a well known name signed lo i: or not. Hoston Advertiser. A Sympathetic Womnn. Lying on Mrs. Lynn Linton's table In her sitting room was a large bundb of manuscripts, upon which I naturally remarked to my hostess: "What a lot of work you have there on hand! Surely that means two or three new bcoks?" "Not one is my own. Uundles of manuscript like these have haunted my later life. I receive packets from men and women I have never seen and know nothing whatever about. One asks for my adVice: another if I can find j publisher; a third in-juires if the miterial is worth spinning out into a three-volume novel; a fourth lives abroad and places the manuscript in my hands to do with exactly as I think fit. etc." "How fearful! Bat what do you do with them all?" "One I once returned unread, for the writing was so bad I could not decipher It. IJut only once. The rest I have a!ways conscientiously read through and corrected page by page If I have thought there was anything to be marie of them. Iiu: to many of my unknown correspondents I hive had to reply sndly that th? work had not sufficient merit far publication and as gently as I could suggest their l-avic.g literature alone and trying something else." "You are very good to bother yourself with them." "No. n:-t g-yö exactly, but I feel very gtrongly the duty of the old to the young

"Mothers are of course always at least twenty-five years behind the age," remarked a girl the other day as a sufficient reason why she should disregard the wishes of her own mother, and If not expressed quite s- openly this is the ilea nowadays.

It was in 1S74 that Mis.s Corson bgan her work, and in 1875 the Idea was taken up In thf West, where a Miss Allen organized a school of h.nu-vhold science in the Iniu.strial university at Chamjiaign. 111. In 1X77 similar work was begun in the Kansas state agricultural college. Other beginnings in the Mast and West having the same ainn in view were the establishment of a course of ts.u-b.ing in scientific co king In Lasel! seminary in 1S77 under the tuition of Miss I'axloa. the opening of a cooking school in Hoston in ISTa and of one in Chicago in 1S81.

probable that Frenchmen cannot help It, but when they see a girl unprotected, it does not matter where, they delight in giving Information, which she. In her innocence and ignorance, would be better without.

On th3 other side of the channel, in Paris especially, knickertxx-kered women on bicycles can be seen by the hundreds on Sunday afternoons. Probably if they ceuld se1 the ridleul ouj appeartne? they represent, with their bagy knickers and spindle shanks, they would dlseird the new custume f orever, but the fact remiins that, while foreign women bicyclists have universally adopted th? zouave style of low.r garment. m?L English women who go cycling prefer the older fashioned ami more graceful minner of raiment. It is worthy of rem irk also that the few who din th? knickers invariably carry a little bundle tied behind them which looks suspiciously like a spire .skirt. Very likely the extra C3stume is f r use in cases of emergency, such as when a etrk-t landlady refuses to ackmwledg? th" right of the wearer of bairgy attire ta a seit in the dining room unless the knickers are hidden from sight.

WHERE THE WORLD IS DARK

AXD THE IIUCK PALL OF MG1IT IS SEVER LIFTED. ' Object and Work of the Indlnna Institute for the Educntion of the llllnd Striking Chnrsicterlatlc of the Mghtleft Wonderful Perceptive Faculties and Retentive Memories, lint Some DlntrmitlnR Tendencies Observations and Information denned from a. lult to the InMtitution. It is a mistaken ilea generally accepted that the Indiana institution for the education of the blind Ls an asylum. This has led to much confusian anJ. letters are received almost daily from the aged and infirm blinJ throughout the state asking for admittance that they may have a home for the remainder of their days. Such letters are answered with refusals and explanations. The institution is just as its nam? implies a school for the education of the blind of the state, with a regularly established nirrieulum and strict discipline. There are no "inmates:" all are pupils. When the initution was first founded in 1S4", through the zealous efforts of William II. Chapman, himself a blind man. it was with the object of giving f to the Mind a free olueation siminr to tint enjoyed by the Dth.'r children of !h stat. that illkerac:. inisht be raiucrd arid the afüiettd made in dependent. There were in the school the first year of its existence twenty-five pupils, this mrnher was increased to twenty-eignt in IS IS. and the attendance has steadily Mown s-ince until now th.re ll." pupils rectiing in.structi n and care at the Institutfrom a corps of eight competent teachrsand a force of thirty-five attendants and emj.l ivcs. The magnificent building which is n w the home of the instituti n was erecttd th'.rtly after it was founded and Ltodiy one of the nrn invnts of the city as Will is a grand monument to the benevo- ; sr,1IC ,;, "rn omia, 1 throughout life there It means tha shall be endlese d-irkm' and gloom and that the vlctin shall live in another world behind thi black veil. There shnll te no llowers there shall be no sunshine; there shall no even be the beloved faces of near and dear relatives; the sins of the father shall be visited upon the child and the world so full of light and joy shall be but a Stygian tomb. I'hiimeterlMtlen of the IUI nil. Sightless children who grow to maturity are necessarily a different peoplt and their characteristics are strikingly evidenced by th minner in which they grope their way down the pathway of life with arms outstretched before them and a half-confiding, half-supieious expression upon their faces. Familiarity with the pupils of the institute for the blind teaches that they, as a rule, are slow to confide, and with the instinct of self-preservation must be convinced beyond even the shadow of a doubt of the good intentions of those with whom they are thrown in contact before they will throw aside their reserve and accept a human being as a friend. Once their confidence is gained, how:ver, and the reserve entirely vanishes; no remains) of suspicion can be detected. The possibilities of the human intellect are best manifested in those who are born blind. The idea that they are endowed with superior powers as a recompense for the absence of sigh: cannot be Intelligently maintained from a scientific standpoint; that they merely make use of and develop powers which through life lie dormant in others is more in accordance with reason and observation. Denied the aid of sight, the blind person learns from infancy to depend upon other assistance, and this cultivates organs and faculties which, if supplanted by the optic nerve, would remain undeveloped and litem. Problems are solved daily by children of ordinary capabilities in the recitation rooms of the institution in which the memory alone is brought into requisition, which would strike the visitor w th amazement and rival the so-called hypnotic feats of a Pishop or a Kellax. The course in mathematics reaches into algebra and geometry and in these abstruse studies those blind children are given long and intricate problems with which to battle. And it 13 with eagerness and pleasure, as well as ease, that their keen memories and sharpened intellects seize each element, analyze it, follow It through all the intricate combinations of calculation, and although unnided by slate, paper or pencil, arrive at the proper solution. Such exhibitions as these make the thoughtful observer feel ashamed of himself and he realizes probab.y for the nrst time how ntt.e he really employs his brain and how he has allowed himself to neglect Its proper cultivation and development through) pura laziness. Tha thought naturally comes up, what a po'ver one of these benighted 'beings would be if he could but give to that keen Intellect and intuitive faculty the benefit of sight.

21 receptive anl rettntive; and while they von show b'ss discontent with their lot, there ar nevertheless tendencies manifested in the.e Mind children which mnke ihem aim ist children of darkne.-s. This :endency his been ;ut.-.i:i;:.1 f-r ia several ways, but the mos; rati :ul theory se?ms :i b ln.-ed up m tliJ fa-t thit the blind. :'rn so in many cases as the car.-e handed lown from vicious aiii-estry, are endowed viih an inheritan.-e wi:h which their ;iflifte.l condition cr.ahles them to piorly nmh.it. They feel their loneliness, realize i cravinjr for companionship, are ihi.-stins? "or affection, and this is manifested in are.-ses ar.d fondlings instead of facial xpres.-i n and words of endeurment Tho esult Is to make the battle hürder anl noral resistance succumbs to the cravings if nature. So. in an institute for the blind, strict vigilance is maintained ami he sexes are kept separated. Further ban this, the formation of an affection between the yoiin? is disouraired as a matter of puNic welfare and policy. Mariaire between those born blind would but esult in the birth of children similarly loomed by inheritance, and these hapless ittle ones. would be n thins but a burden. This is one of the many delicate matters with which the officers of blind institutions have to contend in thf ir management. In many cases when the matter Ls resented to the blind by one in whim they have placed implicit confidence, it is received in an impassi oned manner, but the reverse is also tiue in many instances. ImlLinit mind Iiintitutc. The Indiana institute for the? education of the blind receives children of ordinary capacity as early a.s at the age of fix years an 1 .takes as much care of their education tnd training as do the public schools the education of the other children of the land. The course of study is similar to the public schools and the pupils are advanced in the useful branches äs far. The 115 pupils rise at 6 o'clock, breakfast, study till 8 o'clock, attend chapel, have choir practise, attend recitation from 9 till 32 o'clock, dine, , indulge in literary work from 1 till 2 o'clock, da fhop work and attend to their musical studies till 4:30 o'clock, have supper, listen to useful and entertaining readirtg by the teachers from 6:30 till 7:30 o'clock and engage in study and music till 9:15. when they retire to their dormitories. K.pecial attention is paid to music as it Ls the-source of great pleasure as well as of profit to the blind. There are in the institution sixteen pianos, a pipe organ and a reed organ and these are in constant use. Many of the pupils become highly skilled in the art and after graduation are abl? to earn their own support by teaching and piano tuning. Of the tight teachers three are instructors in music and all are kept busy. The New York point system is used in writing the music as well as m all writing and has been found to be highly successful and a great improvement over the old system of raised letters. This system is the mere arrangement of six points raised on the pair in different relative positions to represent the letters of the alphabet. The sharp points are caught by the keen serosa cf touch in the finger tips of the pupils much more readily than tne entire raised letter and much greater facility is acquired. Middle-aged men are received Into the Institution when in good health and desirous of learning a trade. As Ions 3 they continue to advance they are kept until the trade has been learned. There are taujjht cane seating, carpet weaving, mattress making, the manufacture of brooms, mops and dusters and piano tuning. Girls- and women are taught needlework, bead work, crocheting and. music. The shops, of course, do not pay for the maintenance of the Institution, as the pupils are dismissed as soon as they become skilled, but the shops more than pay for all the material used, which operates as a groat saving of money to the state. They learn readily and all realize the difficulties that will confront

A large number of the pupils in the institution were born blind, and various causes hive br night atTliction to th remainder. Koni" of these are ophthalmia, citaraet. scr.-fub. measles, exposure to light when an infant, exposure to -'Ii when an infjnt. accidents and brain fever. Superintendent (;iaHCcU'M l'lan. V. II. Ctlasseoek, the newly appoint -d ruperintendent of the institution, is making a careful study of his pupils and ingratiating himself into the confidence f each. He says that he finds the blind light-hearted as a nile. though each pupil is liable to have his dtys of depression. At such times everything possible is done to divert him from his own lot and to j prevent broodin; In religious belief, I each pupil selects his favorite church an i attends It. There are devout Christians and skeptics among the pupils. All are respectful and when their confidence is gained easily managed. On? highly important movement he is inaugurating is teaching the pupils' to speak without limitation and without articulation. This is the characteristic weakness of the blind and he will endeavor to remedy this as much as possible. There Ls not glxm and bitter brdi.ng in the institution as many may supple.

M hu" of the American navy, wh was sent to the Congo c untry and appoin:ed later a United States coiiMil there. The offieer explored the entire Congo basin, and with Capt. lhanis. the Belgian, made ih etmpaign against the Arabian Manyemas and Itumaliza. He brought back the fir.-U authentic news of Ihe tragic end of the explorer. Kmin. who on his last expedi:ion intended ti gi to the Congo .state, hid r isse.i the upper Congo. He announced his arrival to Kilnuge. the sultan of Kiruudu. and a.-ked irmissiMi to proceed through his territory. Kibmge sent a letter to Kmin. granting hi request, but at tin same time he forwarded a second letter to Said, one .-f his vassals, commanding him to kill the explorer. Fetir m-n were detailed by Said to carry out the sentence of death. They hurried to the explorer's camp and found him sitting in bis tont. They c lolly read to him the letter sealing his fate. Kmin repli.vl that his dath would lie avenged in a terrible wiy by the whites, and warned the men n t to kill him. But his threats and entreaties Ml on deaf ears. Thi- f air murderers tok hdd "of him, one grasping his bead, another his arm-, a third his legs, while the fourth dealt him the deathblow. Kmln's p.x.ple were scattered about the village at the time and knew nothing cf the murder. The men escaped in cpnseouenoe. but were afterward captured and summ mod before a court-martial. The Aniericin attended the trial, which ended in the conviction of the murderers, wh) were afterward hanged.

The last note in the diary was onOct. 23, 1892. th day of the tragic end. There are several AfLgo- in the book which seem to indicate that Kmin expected to be killed by the Arabian.
