"Mamma," said a wee child, one
Sunday evening, after having sat
still in the house all day, like a good
child, "havc I honored you to- o-day?"
81 dou't know" #" replied the mother;
"why DO you ask ?" because"
said the little one, shaking her head
sadly, "the bible says, "Honor thy
father and mother, that thy days
may be long," and this has been,
oh, the longest day I ever saw"

Teaching the Dnmb 70 speaIz

As may be generally known, there
has been for many years a system Of
teaching the deaf and dumb to talk,
land also to understand what is said
to them, solely by imitation that is,
they are taught to initiate the mo-
ton of the mouth in talking, so that
in time they become capable OF
talking themselves.
There was an interesting exhibi-
ton given at No. II, Pemberton
square, of an entirely different
method Of teaching. Mr.. A. Gra-
ham Bell gave illustrations in teach
ing by what is known as "visible
speech" system invented by his
father, Professor Bell, of England,
twenty-five years ago, with no
thought at that time of its adapta-
bility to this purpose.
! By this system every sound that
can be produced by the human
mouth can be written down correct
Ily, so that they can again be pro-
bounced by any one who has learned
the alphabet. Not only is every
sound represented by a character,
/ but the characters themselves are
symbolical that is, they bear g
suggestive resemblance to the or
gans used in their formation. 4
after its completion it was sub
Ijected to the severest tests, and was
pronounced as nearly perfect as it
could be.
It was first applied to the instruc-
ton Of the deaf ahd dumb, in En-
gland, in 1859, with very gratifying
success, and theoretical plan de-
veloped for teaching it.
Mr.. Bell claimed for this many
advantages over the old system Of
teaching by imitation, in which
correct utterance was seldom or
never attained. The symbolical
character of the letters, he claimed,
was & great help in teaching the
pupils-it being in fact, as its name
implies, written speech-not only
the sounds of the word being repre-
sented, but the character that repre-
sented the sounds being, as it were,
sort of picture Of the organs pro-
ducing the sounds.
Mr.. Bell thon gave Illustrations
with pupils who had been under
bis instruction for about three
months. Two little Children
girl of about four years of age, and
a boy OF eight or ten-Were brought
forward to show the method used in
the first steps.
A young lady who was born deaf
land dumb gave the pronunciation
of various words in French, Ger
man, and other foreign languages,
also read the Lords Prayer plainly
and distinctly, SC that every word
could be heard.
The exercises closed with a recita-
ton, by one of the young lady pu-
pills, Of a dialogue in verse, "The
Thrush and the Startling" which, as
a recitation, would have been cred
table to any one, the infections
and gestures being given with grace
and precision. When it is consid-
cred that tho pupil was deaf and
dumb, it seemed truly miracle.
There were present to witness
the exhibition members of the Bos-
ton School Committee, and many
ladies and gentlemen interested in
the work of educating this unfortu-
nate class.

Can smallpox be communicated
by mail? The Wheeling Intelligen-
Ger mention a case which seems to
imply thatit can. A young lady in
that city recently received a letter
from a sister in Pittsburg, who
wrote that she was quite sick
with the smallpox. Exactly eleven
days after the letter arrived, the la
dy who received it was taken with
the disease. She was not exposed
to it in any other way, and there
seems no doubt the contagion was
communicated by the letter.

Facts About Advertising.

The science of advertising is not
generally comp1ehendad. Amateurs
in tie art strike out blindly,and, be
cause there are no immediate returns
for their injudicious efforts, conclude
that advertising does not pay. The
following words of wisdom are
worthy Of being treasured up.
Judicious advertising always
pays
Ifyou have a good thing, adver-
tise it. If you haven't don't.
Ifyou don't mean to mind your
own business, it will not pay to ad-
vertise.
Never run down your opponents
goods in public. Let him do his
own advertising.
It's as true of advertising as of
anything else in this world. If it
is worth doing at all it is worth do
ing well.
You can't eat enough in one week
to last whole year, and you can
not advertise on that plan either.
A large advertisement once and
then discontinued, creates the i'm
preston that the man has fzzIed.
Injudicious advertising is like
fishing where there's no fish. You
need to let the lines fall in the right
place.
If you can arouse curiosity by an
advertisement, it is a great point
gained. The fair sex don't hold all
the curiosity in the world.
People who advertise only once
in three months forget that most
folks can't remember anything long
er than about seven days.

tiOu.
The more closely authentic record
are looked into, the more enormoul
is seen to be the drain upon indus
try, morals, and the life blood of tht
people, by our drinking and smok
ing usages. 1t is not easy to be
lieVe that the virtuous health o.
coming generations can be secured
or the perils of an overfowing vag
abondage in large towns be averted
with the present and increasing use
Of intoxicating liquors.
Let US take the measure of this
tremendous burden upon the coun.
try, by putting together a few fig,
ures from the last Internal Revenue
Report:
Returns Of DISTILLED liquors, in all the
states last year were, galions..... 2. .425 OO0
GoYerHment taxes paid on all this... S55 5SI 5g5
Retail cost Of this liquor at only 81 per
ga!Ion 289 700 900
Amount of beer returned was, barrss $500 900
GJvernmUnt tax paid on this..... ...... G3lgI26
Estimating retail charges fOrthis liquor,
at $40 per barrsl-c0st To the people 10 Onn 600
Total revenue tobacco and cigars,. 81 $50. .7O7
Retail cost Of chewing and smoking, to
say nothing OF SNUFF, at least .... .... $50 600 600
Think of this aggregate. Esti-
mating imported liquors Ito be ad-
ded to the above sums) as equal to
the domestic liquors exported and
employed in medicine and the arts,
we gain this astounding result:
National tax for distilled liquors. $3.50 7oO,OOO 90
tobacco and cigars. 100000 90
Annual tax for stimulauts and mar
eotics ..........s549,7O 100000 90
No doubt this monstrous sum
worse than wasted-drawn, too,
largely from the laboring classes
and families of the poor-.is a great
way Within the truth. New York,
one tenth the population of the
whole Republic, is pretty we'll as
certained to be one-eighth of this
vast burden, or seventy millions.
This State pays a quarter of all the
tobacco revenue Il. e., 1892, ,OOO);
a third of all the beer tax Ii. e.,
S2,O29,OOO); and tenth of the dis
titled liquor duties q. g., S., ,255, ,OOO).
The destruction of $15O,OOO,OOO of
property in the fires of Chicago
agitated Europe and America, and
aroused people everywhere in the
efforts to protect and heal. The
recent robbery of twenty millions,
by politicians in New York city,
justly alarmed the whole State. But
what are these sums, even, in com
parisOn to the yearly waste and
ruin made by liquor?
Can the industry and enterprise
even of our great State long bear
this levy of seventy millions a year,
without grave financial results.
Are not these drinking usages
producing an amount of pauperism
and vagabondage, which, in crowd
ed cities, must ere long be absolute
ly uncontrollable2
And is it not plain that intomper-
ate habits are visibly deranging the
nerves and depraving the blood and
brain of many ten thousands -four
countrymen ? Some, at least, know
that from these long continued in
nothing but physical,
mental and moral debasement is
likely to come to children. This is
the most fearful thing Of aH.-[New

LONDON, March ~, 1872
In the House Of Commons to-day MIR. william
Johnston. member for Belfast. moved o resolution
to the eject that In the opinion OF the House, the
government In recently prohibiting . celebration at
Londonderry. Ireland. while allowing party demon
STATIONS In Dublin and Cork, evinced q spirit OF
Partially highly to be condemned.
Mr.. Johnston addressed the House IN support Of
his motion. He went on 10 show that this was not
the first time the government had left undisturDed
Fenian amnesty meetings and professions, which
were directly contrary to law, while loyal demon
STATIONS at Derry were regularly prohibited.
Lord Yarmouth, member for Antrim, seconded
the motion.
The Marquis OF Harrington Chief Secretary for
Ireland, defended the course pursued by the gov.
eminent. 1t had not proceeded under the Party
Professions act; but, according to the common law
government knew that breach OF the peace was
certain In case the celebration took place at Derry.
No such apprehensions were felt with regard to the
demonstrations In Dublin or Cork. He declared
that the Party PROFESSIONS act was not required.
and announced that No INTENDED to propose bill
repeating It.
Mr.. Patren doubted the governments impartalitv.
He hoped both parties In Ireland would give up
these professions.
Mr. Mcguire deprecated the revival Of questions
whicn only tended to perpetuate enmity
Mr. RICHARD D0wSe, member Tor Londonderry, de-
Tended hts constituents. but approved or the sup
preston Of PROFESSIONS These party demonstrations
were illegal and provocative OF blOodshed, and II
they were continued any government undertaking
to rule Ireland would find difficulty. The govern
ment had put stop to Waterloo celebrations In
England because they offended the susceptbiIties
of the French. He commended the example OF Eng
land, in submitting quietly to this prohibition, to
the people OF Ireland.
Speeches were also made by Viscount Crchton,
Sir Henry Bruce. Messrs. Mcclure, Brady and
others.
Mr.. Disraeli closed the debate. He thought these
professions should be either entirely abolished OF
impartaily permitted AS the Chief Secretary FOL
Ireland had promised 10 bring In bill for the re
peal OF the Party PROFESSIONS act, he ADVISED the
member from Belfast to withdraw his motion.
The motion was accordingly Withdrawn.
