The Language of Signs.

MANY persons are, no doubt, under the
impression that the deaf and dumb talk to
each other by means of the finger-alpha-
bet; but the use of this presupposes a
knowledge of the meaning of words and
letters, which the deaf and dumb child can
hardly be taught till Ineligible communi-
cation has been established with it. Alpha
betical speech is slow and clumsy, where
as the deaf mute speaks to his comrades as
rapidly, if not as precisely, as we do by
means of vocal speech. He uses copious
and expressive Language of signs, indicat-
ing words and ideas by means of simple
motions and gestures. This language has
the advantage of being natural and univer-
sal. English, French and German chill
dren, TO Il great extent, understand each
other, and even a North American Indian
would be able to talk with them all, it
being curious fact that many of the signs
used by the Indian tribes are identical with
those of the deaf-and-dumb schools of Eu-
rope; and Mr.. Tylor states that a Sand
wich Islander and Chinese both made
themselves understood in an American
dumb institution. The gesture
Language" is also connected with spoken
language in two remarkable ways. Among
low, savage tribes there are cases in which
speech has to be supplemented by gesture
TO make it intelligible, and it is, perhaps,
reasonable to suppose that ut an earlier
stage of civilization the proportion of ges-
lures TO words would be greater than it is

TIE following story is related by q

while residing in -, l had in my
garden pear tree, which bore most excel
lent fruit. Between my garden and that
of my neighbor was very high
fence, with sharp iron pickets upon
it. | don't approve of such things.
1t was the landlords work. Well, one
year when the pear tree bore very abun-
dantly, there happsned to be girl belong
lag to my ,neighboF's family, who was as
fond of pears as l was myself, and l saw
her several times climb the high fence and
walk carefully along between the pickets,
until she came opposite the pear tree, then
she would reach over, fill her basket with
fruit and carry it away.
"One morning l called upon my young
friend with basket of the incest pears |
could find. tv

pears for thee
"She did not know what l meant.

pears on purpose for thee. Iwish to make

like them, or thou would not climb such q
high and dangerous fence to get them
Those pickets are very sharp, Rebecca, and
if thy feet should slip while thou art walk

Now, thou art welcome to the fruit; but

Berlin, being bulletined publicly from the
balconies of the Ministers of Interior and
War. Great crowds, rapidly swelling to

ministries, cheering and making the most
exuberant demonstrations of joy and de-
light. The residences of prominent
officials were serenaded and besieged by
eager crowds, and the occupants forced to
appear and address the congregations, COM
posed of men, women and children. In
the evening professions of immense length,
headed by bands of music, paraded the
streets with banners and flambeaux, and
the principal squares, particularly the
