How to Speak to the Deaf.

The prevailing belief of those who have
not associated much with deaf people il
that to make them hear it is only neces
sary to raise the voice. This, in most 10,
stances, is a complete mistake. Few men
aud still fewer women, who are not pro
fessional yocalists, speak plainly when
they speak with loud voice, and hence
ii often happens that the victim of theiI
kind efforts is il no way assisted 10 the
task Of understanding them, while all those
who may be near are made aware Of hi
misfortune. The proper way is to SPEAK
slowly and distinctly, for with the deal
the recognition Of volume of sound exists
just as near-sighted man has u perception
Of an object, only in one case as in the
other, the outlines and divisions are un-
uncertain and confused. As this is rare
ly understood, those who are troubled will
deafness soon find that attempts at gen
eral social intercourse bring with then
moro discontinue than pleasure, and the
natural result Is to force the sufferer int
a kind of mental insulation. There ma,
be natures so strongly nodded as to be in
fuenced bya separation from the small
delights of social life, but in most cases Il
is productive Of more or less mlsanthropic
opinions.

Dental Science.

Nearly sixty years since, Delabarre, the
noted French dentist and writer on dental
topics, believed it possible to extract an
unhealthy tooth, remove the unsound part
and put it back in the socket, and that il
would grow into its old place. Expert.
ment after experiment proved him to be
right Since then the matter has received
very little attention, aud, in truth, seemed
forgotten, despite its importance, until
Magitot, another Paris physician, has lately
taken it up. He has made a long and
serious study Of it, aud divides the graft
ing of the dental organs into extracting
teeth and putting them back after GER
tain time, and drawing teeth from one per-
son aud placing them in the mouth Of an.
other. Toothache arises from abscess at
the root, decay Of the bone, Inflammation
Of the surrounding membrane, disease Of
the gums, or other causes. Magitot has
repeatedly done what Deabarre had done
before. Out Of 62 operations he has sue
ceeded completely in 57--a proportion Of
about 92 percent. While reintegration is
going on some local reaction is caused, but
not enough to affect to any degree the
general system. Small boils or assesses
form on the gums, and when they have
run their course leave the healing and re.
storing process complete within week or
fortnight. If tho attempt fail, infam
nation elects the tooth in day or two.
The age of the patient is said to have no
effect on the result, and teeth Of every
kind may be drawn AMI replaced

Bushmen.

Their speech is series of clicks, inte,.
spersed here and there by harsh sound
ing and utterly unintelligible cultural. In
default Of better food, the Bushmen will
eat snakes and other reptiles, and they
make kind of bread of dried locusts
pounding them between stones, and knead
ing into cakes the moaly substance thus
produced, Although these diminutiye
sayages present one Of the lowest forms Of
humanity, the South American Botocudo
being, perhaps, ye. degree nearer to the
animal type, they are possessed of good
deal Of cunning, and even bravery Of a
certain sort. Thus they will not only
stalk game Of the smaller kinds, but even
the lion itself, keeping carefully to lceward,
so that their scent shall be unperceived,
and, creeping upon their bellies to within
few yards of him, when they will let fly
one Of their tiny poisoned arrows, and the
doom Of the king of beasts is sealed. In
hunting the ostrich they contrive to get
sufficiently near il, under cover Of screen
made Of the skin and feathers of the same
bird, which they advance by degrees, moy-
ing the head or neck cleverly in imitation
of one of them feeding. The Bushmcn
are very revcngcful little people, and
think nothing of ham-stringing whole
herd Of cattle in retaliation for real or
imaginary grievance, and on account of
their deadly, although insignifcant-looking
weapons, the Boers are much afraid Of
them aud shoot them down like dogs when
they get the opportunity. And yet It
seems as if it ought not to be absolutely
impossible to civilize these strange crea-
lures, who are clearly not devoid Of intel
ligence, their cayo dwellings being con-
stantly found adorned with spirited draw
ings of the animals of the Veldt, traced
with some kinds Of colored clays and pig
menis that seem to defy the effects Of

The DEVILS Fruit.

Potatoes we're first introduced at Mos.
COW by Mr.. Rowland, eighty or ninety
years ago. At first the people would
neither plant nor touch them, saying they
were the devils fruit given to him on his
complaining to God that he had no fruit,
when he was told to search in the earth
for some, which he did and found potatoes.
A curious Berwickshiro legend which,
however, is palpably achronicle, attributes
the introduction Of potatoes into Scotland
to that famous wizard Of the North, SiI
Michael Scott. The wizard and the devil
being 10 partnership, took lease Of the
farm on the Martoun estate, called White
house. The wizard was to manage the
the farm, the devil managed the capital
The produce was to bedivided as follows
The first year Sir Michael was to have
all that grew above ground, and his part
ner all that grew below; the second year tn,
shares were to be the opposite way. Hi
Statistic Majesty, as is usual in such cases
was fairly overreaehed 10 his bargain for tht
wizard cunningly sOwed all the land in tn,
first year with wheat and planted it will
potatoes the second, so that the devil 20
nothing for his share but wheat stubbl
and potato tops. And this seourging 70
tation, Sir Michael continued, until h
had not only beggared his partner, but ex
hausted the soil. In spite of this legend
however, We must continue to give credi
to Sir. Walter Raleigh for having besl
the introducsr of potatoes into that coun
try. The first that tried them, We are told
fell into the very natural mistake of eat
ing the apples aud disrsgarding the root

KEEP YoUR SEcRETs.-The whole

dence-people to whom q secret is like

blessed with every advantage, are often tor
mented for want Of "a true friend, mean
ing hereby some one to whom they can
conhde secrets. And on those who will
simply take them and keep them, they are
willing to bestow friendship; to those who
would be in such confidence it is enough
that they follow the advice already given
of never being directly or indirectly the
means Of disseminating gossip Of any kind.
In connection with this subject the render
may properly be advised against curiosity.
There are people who cannot see letter

addressed, or cannot find anything written
lying on table without involuntarily pick

Cayenne pepper is adnltcrated with red

Il is stated that probably half the vinegar
now sold in our cities is rank poison. One
Of our Boston chemists analysed II pack
ages OF pickles, put up by II differcut
Wholesale dealers, and found copper in 10
Of them. Many of our hayoring oils, sy-
rups, jellies and preserved fruits contains
poisons. The authorizations Of tea are too
numerous to mention. Coffee Is not only
adulterated, but patent has been taken
out for moulding chickory into the form Of
coffee berries, and am told that clay Is
now moulded, and perhaps favored with
an essence to represent coffee. Cocoa and
chocolate arc adulterated with various min
eral substances. Several mills in New Eng
land, and probably many elsewhere, arc
now engaged in grinding white stone into
line powder for purposes Of adultcrafion.
AT some Of these mills they grind shree
grades-soda grade, sugar grade and -four

that kind called Graham -four. Certainly,
hundred, and probably thousands, Of barrels
OF "terra alba, or white earth, are sold in
our cities every year to be mixed with sugar
In confectionery and other white snbstan-
ces. am told by an eminent physician
that this tends to produce stone, kidney
complaints, and various diseases Of the
stomach. A Boston chemist tells me that
he has found 20 per cent Of 'stcrra alba,
in what was sold as cream Of tartar used
for cooking. A large New York house sells
sells three grades Of cream Of tartar. a
chemist recently analyzed a sample of the
best grade, and found so per cent. Of
terra abs" in that. Much Of our con :
fectionery contains 33 per cent. or more
OF terra alba. The coloring matter Of
confectionery frequently contpins lead,
mercury, arsenic, and copper. Baking
powders are widely sold which contain a
large percentage Of 'tcrra alba and alum.
) IL is not water alone that is mixed with
milk. Thousands Of gallons, and probably
hundreds of thousands, arc sold in our
cities which have passed through large
tins, or watts, in which il has been mixed
: with various substances. Recipes for the

from old on payment of the required sum.
| am assured, on what l believe to be re-

of so-called milk have been, and probably
are, sold in this city which do not contain
one drop Of the genuine article. Large

IL is not easy to see how, TO- a country
so broken as this, and where so many
farms and even whole villages have no ac-
cess TO market except over mountain foot
paths, any system could be introduced
which would tighten the labor Of the peo-
pie. On not one farm in fifty In the
mountain valleys could the moving ma
chine be used, and from at least onc-half
Of the hay and grain fields the whole crop
has to be carried away on the heads and
shoulders of the people. Something might
be gained by the introduction of better
race Of cattle, but II is a question whether
these too would not deteriorate under the
constant exercise needed TO pick up liy-
ing on these broken pastures. The con-
ditions of living are very much modified
BY the wandering propensity which is SO
common among the Tyrolese. As musi-
clans, as peddlers, as cattle-dealers, and as
mechanics, they wander over the wide
world, bringing home a comfortable profit
and quickened intelligence.
The mental and moral characteristics Of
any people can Of course be only very Inn
perfectly measured by the casual traveller.
The Tyrolese are represented as being ex-
extremely superstitious and priest. ridden,
but no evidence of this was obvious to me.
They are unquestionably honest and faith
ful, and universally temperate. Probably
every man, woman and child in Tyrol
drinks beer and wine as constantly and as

Skating to Church in Norway.

"You will see strange sight, | think,
to-day said my host, as we were prepar.

by. Aud, indeed il was strange sight.
Far off in the distance | could discern a
number Of objects moving swiftly down a
mountain slope; there were about thirty
or forty, as far as could mako out, in all.
What they were could not at first con-
ceiye; but presently they again came in
view, and could see that they were men,
women and children, of all ages and sizes,
skating. IL was christening Sunday, =
and several Of the women were carrying
their infants on their backs in an ineen-
iously -contriyed kin Of a basket. without
apparently suffering any Inconvenience
In the far North, indeed, my host inform
ed me, the Lapps, who are very skillful
skaters, and punctilious in their discharge
Of their religious duties, bury their chill
dren in the snow outside the church, while
they, the parents, attend the service. Do
not start, reader The reason is that
their cries might disturb the congregation;
aud it is far warmer for them underneath

than in the church. A trusty dog Is sta.
