| The METHOD of visible signs, mimickng or
pantt mime, was rather hastily adopted in France,
thence carried to England and to the United
States, and there is known as the French method
The Germans, who are more philosophical than
the French, adopted the method Of teaching mutes
tb articulate that is, to initiate our speech by
wctching the movement of our lips and features
b tho eye, instead OF watching them mainly by
the ear. Experience has proved that this is
feasible to considerable extent. In Switzerland
the education of mutes has long been matter Of
general interest and as the country lies between
France and Germany, and the people in some
parts speak French and others German, some
adopted the French and others the German
method. Gradually, however, the latter has gain
cd the most favor. There is one feature of the
Swiss and German method of educating mutos,
which is OF special interest, and which should BIZ
engrafted upon our old institutions in the United
States. It is that, as much as possible, the mute
should be brought into relations with ordinary
people. Thus, instead of teaching mute boy his
trade in the establishment, and in company with
other mutes, he is put out TO apprentice, and
learns to work with ordinary workmen, and IN the
ordinary way. have taken special pains to seek
out several Of these apprentices, and have seen
them at work, and heard them converse with their
employers and fellow-workmon. find that they
continue to use articulation and it is very useful
to them. proof Of success is that they arc in
demand as apprentices. I found them in Shoe
makers, tailors, and jewelers. shops, working
well and earning fair wages. In general they are
inferior to mutes educated at our institutions in
knowledge of written language, perhaps IN gene
raj knowledge, but they look and act more like
ordinary persons than our mutes do. Tho peculiar
characteristics of their class are cssened by in
tFcourse with ordinary persons, instead OF being
intensified by long and close intercourse with
other mutes

ELECTION MATTERS.

-oficiaI returns from New Jersey
show amsjority OF 1924 for the DEM
ocrats. The total vote was 1858, di-
vided as follows: Republican, 81, PSI;
Democratic. 81 ,4O5. The Republicans
lost Il, 261 from their vote of last year,
while the Democrats gained 3, 45S.
The Tribune gives the full official
vote of New York cast at the recent
election. The Democrats polled 3T3, $50
votes, and the Republicans 324.Ol7, a
Democratic majority OF 1889, as com
pared with the election of 1856, when
the Republicans had 1879 majority.
The to, al vote has fallen off 20,938; the
Republican vote has fallen of 1928,
whilst The Democratic vote has tn-
creased q $50.
The Tribune seems to think that
there is chance for electing the Re-
publican candidate for Mayor, provid-
ing the whole party unite on him. This
claim is founded on the division of the
Democrats between Hoffman and
Wood. other Republican Journals
think that this division affords no
hope of plurality for Darling by ten
thousand votes, since tie Democrats
are strong enough to run Two candi-
dates with the Certainty of eIecting
one. The figures are 5000 Republl-
cans 10 IS, 600 Democrats. 1t Is difficult
to cypher q, 900 into Republican plu-
rality, with twice 1850 Democratic
voters. Darling will not poll much
more than half the Republican
st rangth, because fully half the party
are taking an interest in the defeat OF
Wood-an event that Is doubtful, even
with tenthousand Republicans to help
his Democratic opponent Wood in
New York, like acknowledgements Ohio,

Interest per Capitalize Aunuhl
Average Increase of Wealth.
A writer in the Boston Advertiser
presents some figures TO prove that the
National debt can be paid by the end
of present century without serious
Inconvenience TO the people. He says
that the total debt OF the United States
is Including currency less than 81
500, OOO, 900. The present population is
estimated at SO, 600, 900, so that the per
cnpiLl proportion of each person is
500 SO. and the annual charge for inter-
est, at six per cent. is 81 II. The an
nual average increase of wealth of the
two states of New York and Ohio
during the ten years from Is50to 1860,
according to the eighth census returns,
was 90 per cent. Ifthey maintain the
same average during the present de-
cade, the increase Of property in those
two States alone will be sufficient in
1870 to pay the whole National debt,
and leave besides surplus OF $780,
100000.
The annual per centage of increase Of
property in the loyal States from 1850
to 1850 was S1f per cent. At the same
annual gain, the increase Of these States
alone for the eight years ending Decent
Der 81, 1861, would be SIC, 0s7 600, 900 or
more than four times the amount of the
debt. This is clearly too much to as
sumo, und, considering the absorption
into the army of so considerable "A por-
ton Of the industrial force OF the coun-
try, it is probable that four per cent
would be nearer the truth. AT this rate
the gain of the nOn-scceding States for
the eight years, from 1860 10 December
81, 1867, would be 81, 03s, OOO, 600, sum
sufficient to pay the debt, with IA sur
plus of Sl,5OO,OOO,OOO.
The writer continues:
The constant growth OF population
and accumulation of wealth in this
country Will act as steadily augment
ing power TO the lever in lifting the bur-
der OF our public debt. In his message
TO Congress III December, 1867, Presi-
dent Lincoln made an estimate of the
probable future increase of our popu-
inLiOn. Assuming the average decen-
NAL increase to be 81 q 10 per cent (nnd
in no decade since 1890 has the ratio va
ried two per cent from this per Centage),
he predicted that the population of the
United Stntes in 1900 would be lO3, 2OS,-
415Of souls.
The gain in property of the nOn-sece-
ding States from 1850 to 1860 was rather
over 1876 per cent. Estimating the flu
ture deceunial increase nj only one
halfthts average, or 63 per cent proba-
bly, far below what will prove the
actual result, and leaving out entirely
the seeding States, the valuation of
the loyal States In the year 1900 will be

the present debt is less than three per
cent.
