MESSAGE: FROM A GREAT • 8
WRITER,
You have heard quotations from
-the lives and books of other great
waiters like Charles Dickens and Sir
Walter Scott, who were gentle as well
as great, and this is about lejuide,"
which was not her real name, Ina; one
she was alivaYs known by. In. marl&
all her stories there are nice things
dboat animals and we know of a let-
ter she once Wrote to a little• bay -
who by this time must be a big Man
--and the letter said:
"My Dear Bertie,--
"Don't thing 1 do not like you be:
cause 1 want to see you gentler to
animals,
"You are a bright and clever boy,
and ought to understand that animals
being •so entirely in cnir power, all
unkind use of bur strength over them
is both mean and unworthy. Try and
aemember that real manliness is al-
ways indulgent and never tyrannical.
Perhaps long after I am dead, you
will show this to your childken, and
, say: This is what I was told by
Vuida."
'TOMMY, THE SCHOOL- CAT. •
Tommy. had every tight to be
called "The School Cat," for no one
took a greater interest than he in
everything belonging tp the school
where he made his horae.
He knew just the right time to be
at the gate every morning to meet his
particular friends; he knew what the
• play bell meant, and was alwaya
• ready, when school was dismissed, to
coax somebody to stay and play a lit-
tle while,
Tho chief things that seemed to
puzzle Tommy were: Why the pencils
were Moved about up on the djesks
children sat so still while the teacher
quested, to wit outside till sc oo
was over.
The favorite lesson of all came at
the end of Friday morning, for .then,
if all the week's work had been
done, the children, might choose' a
subject. Sometimes itwas 'astronomy,
or aeroplane's, or the life of a hero,
but nearly always It was natural his-
tory, for everyone. loved aniinals.
One . day the chosen subject was
"The Cat Tribe," and what could ,be
nicer thin. to' invite Tommy to show
off the special characteristics of hie
family? • '
To his eat j�2, Tawny seemed to
be the most important person in theroom,

ing about hire. He willingly showed
howthe cat family could drink milk,

that none was spilled, unsheathe the

Thi e was the, kind of lesson that
pleased Tonnny, 'and everyone else,

Every day ab play -time, someone

Broom Factories for Blind.
Men.
Not long ago a visitor interaeted 155
work for the blind called at the broom
factory for blind men established by
.the Institute in Toronto. As be en-
tered the factory on a bright March
morning, the whole place was per-
vaded with an air 'of cheery bustle.
The sun, streaming through the South
windows a the big, open factory spate
lighted the faces of the sightless work-
men 'whistling cheerily or humming
snatches of song as they plied their
trade with deft hand% Here a winder,
or tier, as they are known in the tra,cle,
standing at his windbag machine and
with piles of sorted cern ready to hand,
deftly attached the end of a wire to a
broom handle held firmly in the ma-
chine chuck and then, seizing handful
after handful of corn weed, it out in
place as the handle was revolved, re-
sponsive to the touch of his foot on
the Clutch. As the COM was spread
evenly and bound tightly by the wire
winding, the embryo broom looked lit-
tle like tiro finished article known to
ea. However, as portion after portion
oft orn was added, phoulders built UP
and the winding operation finelly COM'
