The SIGN LANGUAGE.


Rev. Job Turner. mute pastor from
Staunton, Va, is entertaining the peo-
pie of st. Louis with pantomime de-
scriptions of Mexico and the Mexicans,
and is said to be very successful in talk
ing intelligibly with his whole body so
as to convey clear idea of the facts he
observed and of his impressions in re-
gard to them, humorous and otherwise.
To do this by means of poses and gest-
ures, unaided by conventional signs pre-
viously understood between him and
those whom he is addressing, is q re-
markable feat, and suggests the posi-
bility of establishing system of uni
versal sign language, which could be
read the world over through the elo-
quenco of its notions. The crude sign
language, which is the lingua franca of
the plains from Alaska to Guatemala,
is limited in its scope, but readily I'M
derstood by those who have to interpret
it for the first time, and might be de-
veloped into a much more satisfactory
means of communication for all who
have lost an arm or developed game
leg or crick in the neck.

Veneers Of Paper.

Paper veneers have come to be an
important article of manufacture, the
extension of the industry being largely
due to the new and wonderful process
ses of cutting. The mechanism cuts the
logs to lengths of twelve feet, which are
then halved or quartered, and bolted
securely on revolving iron table. AS
the table and wood revolve the surface
of the latter comes in contact with q
knife twelve feet long, ground to a ra-
zor edge and perfectly true, secured on
a rigid iron frame-the entire cutting
apparatus weighing about thirty tons.
The veneers roll off in sheets at every
revolution, of from one-ninetieth to one
one hundred -and-seventy-ffth of an
inch in thickness, and of the width and
length of the log. There is not the
slightest vibration of either the knife or
log, as the sheet of wood in such case
would be either broken or take up the
spring like wedge. The sheets are
backed with paper.

For dinner, take as much rare beef as
you feel like, with a slice of bread (no
crust), and half-cup of coffee (sugar

For breakfast and supper, break one
slice of bread (no crust) in the milk.
The bread should be 48 hours old,

If the milk sours on the stomach, put
in it tablespoonful of lime-water to a

If you should become costive, eat q

coffee.
The first three or four days it will re-
quire severe mental effort to ''eat or
drink nothing but milk" but after the
first five days you will become accus-
toned to the system, and not feel that
strong desire for table food.

Odd Wedding Rings.
The Jewels Placed by Young Lovers Upon the

The Jewels Placed by Young Lovers Upon the
Fingers of Their sweethearts.
"Tbere is no jewelry about which
women always show so much interest
as the betrothal and wedding rings" re-
piled a dealer to a reporters question.
1.-THE first has altered noticeably in
shape and setting. A pure white dia-
mond, the only suitable gem, is under
set in short claws so that the stone hides
the setting completely. Polished gold
is preferred to Roman gold. The shank
is oval and tapers from the gem. There
is neither enamel nor engraving on its
surface, and inscriptions are cut inside
as the purchaser may order. It is but
an old fashion revived, and one which
will be liked. In the last 80 years we'd
ding rings have changed twice in style,
from the narrow, double circlet to the
polished oval; and lastly the plain, wide,
fiat band, which is now also preferable
in polished gold. A fourth style, and
one eminently in harmony with the
present temper of romantic sentiment,
might well revive the ornament which
decorated a ring discovered long ago in
Egyptian ruins. 1t represented two

Certainly"
81 will bear that in mind. But mean
time can you tell me who invented the
finger ringp'
at is older than history. The ancients
account for its origin by ascribing to
Jupiter sharp practice, which would
be no credit to Four Courts shyster.
They say that, prompted by revenge, he
had Prometheus chained to frosty
Caucasus, where vulture banqueted
the live-long day on the captive's liver.
Jupiter eventually relented, and, to
avoid breaking his oath, commanded
his enemy when free to wear perpetual
ly on his finger an iron ring to which
was fastened a small piece Of Mt. eau
casus, so that In effect he remained bound
to the rock. ] don't take much stock in
that story. The ancients were, some of
them, scaly fellows. "-St. Louis Post

MOrpnopisun,

The Tithing House is still in active
use in Salt Lake City, Utah, and through
it half q million year is collected by
the Mormon officials. This comes most
ly from the poor, according to cor
respondent of the st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat, and nobody knows to what use it
is put, although many had their sur
misses when they found that Brigham
Young. although not entitled to any sal
airy, died worth several millions.
The rich evade their tithes in varie-
ty of ways; the poor must pay them, or
they are subjected to trouble and an
noyance. When they have paid their
tithes they are not out of debt to the
church. They must contribute when
called upon to the erection of new build
ings, or do any thing else which the
priesthood may demand. Better starve

An Awkward Sign.

A spell ago man started in the
ready-made clothing business, on Sew
enth street. and called his place "Mis-
fit parlor." 1t was an odd name and
puzzled people good deal ut first.
Some thought it was n place where fits
were cured, and a person subject to one
would miss fits if he entered the parlor.
When the Assessor called there last
spring he asked if Miss Fit was in.
Another time woman dropped in with
her little girl and wanted to buy suit
for her. 1--WE have suits for boys" said
the urbane proprietor, "but none for
little girls" "Can't you tit Miss!"
asked the woman, impatiently. mo,
we cannot" Then" said the irate
woman, ''why do you advertise miss

There has been considerable amount

An authority says the best way to eat

Spoony couples should bear this fact in
mind.
The caster is no longer necessary
article of table furniture-in fact, it is
dispensed with altogether on many
handsomely-set tables: its place is sup
piled by pretty jug-shaped bottles at
each end of the table, which is certain
ly a more convenient arrangement.
The same tables are provided with pref
ty and quaint individual bottles at each
plate.
Cookery is an art for which peculiar
talent is necessary to bring forth good
results. A serious error is to suppose
that the subject of what one eats and
drinks is unimportant, for the fact re-
mains that scarcely one material con-
sideration is of so far reaching effect as
that of the kitchen. When one reflects
upon the dependence of the mind and
character upon the bodily condition,
and how closely the latter is involved
in the material that supplies it, one can
not escape the conviction that a good
cook is public benefactor, and the ca
terer who feeds his fellow-creatures
wisely and well is greater than he who
takes a city.-HOteL Mail

The Harvest of Hair.

About the month of May the gather
ers of the lower order of trade, peddlers,
etc, commence harvesting; they come
to the villages at regular intervals. The
largest cut is made in Auvernia depart
ment (western France) during the an
nual fair, about ST. Johns day, when
the gatherer, with his wares and shining
coin, most successfully tempts the un-
sophisticated country girls and becomes
owner of the choicest of their hair at
the lowest possible price. The provin-
cial girl. as she is called, will make her
choice of merchandise or give orders for
something else The scissors may at
once come into use, and accounts set
tied or she may take advance payments
for her silken coils, to be cut at some
future time, the hair to grow until y
time stipulated. Advances may be
made on the next four or five years
crops; the executioner with his scissors
will rather be later than too soon to I'M
coil his hair debtor, for such debts are
always honored. These gatherings Zone

ken, square their own accounts, and re-
turn to their various trades. by which
they strive to accumulate small sums Of
money or merchandise to assist them in
their Turing traffic next spring. Large
quantities of beautiful hair, soft, clean,
and delightfully."- perfumed, come into
the market. One can almost imagine
that he can yet see the hand of the vir-
gins lover on its waving brillancy. A
considerable quantity of hair is derived
from chapels or shrines in Brittany,
where. according to an old custom. a
great number of devotees make offer
ings of their hair to poor Mother Vir-
gin Mary, and as those donations &C
cumulate they are scattered among all
nations, creeds, virtues, or otherwise

thousand gatherers are employed, who

Jenny Lind's Oourtship.

II am u Quaker, as you know" o
Philadelphian recently said to me, "and
it is reported that,> shortly before Jenny
Lind's visit to our city, an aged lady
arose in one of our meetings and said
that she had heard that Jane Lyon, a
very wicked woman, was on her way to
this country to sing and she hoped that
none of theyoung people would be drawn
away TO hear her. Nevertheless, an
uncle took me and my mother to the
Saturday matinee. We had seats in the
balcony and SO near the stage that we
could in a way see behind the scenes.
Early in the entertainment Jenny Lind
sang Home Sweet Home and the au-
dience was beside itself Among the
members of her company was her future
husband, Otto Goldschmidt. He was to
the audience simply an unknown pianist
and to be obliged to listen to anything
but the voice Of Jenny Lind was provok-
ing. Well, the man played, and from
where we sat we could see Jenny Lind
behind the curtain listening most intent
ly. When he had finished, the audience
seemed in nowise disposed to applaud;
but Jenny Lind began to clap her hands
vigorously, observing which, we boys
re-enforced her, and observing her face
light up--I can see the love-light on it
yet-we clapped furiously until the APP
plause spread throughout the audience.
When he had finished playing the sec
ond time, my brother and L set the ball
in motion, and the applause was great
enough to satisfy even the fiance of Gold

Plain Preaching.

Friar Cuthbert was one of the class Of
jocular preachers so popular in the me-
di@val times. They preached what was
called Rsus Paschales-comic homilies
for Easter. Their works have been
printed, and the student of early man.
ners may consult them with advantage.
though he may be repealed by their
c0arseness. They were bold satirists,
dwelling perhaps too exclusively on the
baser aspect of human life. In their de-
nunciation of prevailing vices they did
not spare the most exalted personages.
Maillard, the cordelier, so irritated
Louis XII. by his structures that he
threatened to have him thrown into the
Seine. 1.-THE King may do as he pleases,"
replied the undaunted preacher, shut
tell him that shall sooner get to Para
disc by water than he will arrive by all
his post horses"
But we shall best give the reader an
idea of the style adopted by these jocu-
lar clergy by quoting a few sentences
from sermon preached by Father On
oroto, the Capuchin, which we have
come across in a curious old Italian
work. In the course of the sermon he
brought into the pulpit skull, which
he addressed as follows: Speak" he
said, ''speak and tell me whether you
were not once the head of magistrate
You don't answer Silence shows con-
sent" He then placed upon the head
judges cap, exclaiming at the same
time, "Have you not often been in
league with the advocate in order to de-
prive the widow and the fatherless of
their rightsp You don't answer Silence
shows consent" He then laid down
the skull and took up another, to which
he exclaimed, ''Were you not the head
of one of those light-minded damsels
whose every thought is given to their
coquetriesP" Then taking a cuff from
his sleeve, he placed it upon the hideous
relic Of humanity, crying: "Miserable
head, where are now the soft, languid
chances that used to captivate the I'M
waryp Where Is that beautiful mouth
which formed such fascinating smiles!
Where are now the pearly teeth---where
the rouge-where the cosmetics with
which the face was so often painteds
Andso on in this strain the capuchin con-
tinued, describing all the various condi-
tions of life, and altering the position of
the skull, which he held in his hand, ac-
cording to the subject with which he
had to deal. On one occasion Louis
XIV. asked Bourdalout, the famous
orator of Notre Dame, his opinion Of
Onoroto: "Sire," was the reply, "that
preacher tickles indeed the ear, but al
so pricks the heart. People return at
his sermons the purses they steal at
mine."-People's Friend.

Very Shocking.

Mysterious Barrel'' story, tells how he
transported n gynanotuS-and astonished
the doctor. From South America one
of the first electric cells that was ever
carried to New York was brought. 1t
was obtained in Brazil, and bought of
some Indians for about six dollars.
We had lots of trouble with this fell
low, for these eels live in fresh water,
and if we had not had plenty of rain on
the voyage, we couldn't have kept him
alive, for the water he was in had to be
changed every day.
We kept him on deck in water-bar-
rel which lay on its side in its chocks,
with square hole cut through the
slaves on the upper side to give the
creature light and air.
When we changed the water couple
of sailors took hold of the barrel and
turned it partly over, while another held
a straw broom against the hole to keep
the eel from coming out.
We would always know when the
water had nearly run out for then the
eel lay against the lower slaves, and
even the wood of the barrel would be
so charged with electricity that the sail
ors could hardly hold on to the ends Of
the barrel.
They'd let 90 with one hand and take
hold with the other, and then they'd let
90 with that and change again. At
first l didn't believe that the fellows
felt the cells shocks in this way; but
when 1 took hold myself one day, /
found they weren't shamming at all.
Then we turned the barrel back and
filled it up with fresh water, and started
the eel off for another day.
He got along first-rate, and kept well
and hearty through tho whole OF the
voyage. When we reached New York
we anchored at Quarantine and the
health-officer came aboard. ] knew him
very well, and said to him.
doctor, I've got something aboard
that perhaps you never saw before"
"What' thatp" said he.
''An electric eel" said /.
"Goodw said he; "that's something
I've always wanted to see. l want to
know Just what kind of shock they
can give"
"All right" said I; "you can easily
find out for yourself. He is in this
water barrel here, and the water has
just been put in fresh so you can see
him. All you have got to do is just to
wait until he swims up near the surface,
and then you can scoop him out with
your hand. You needn't be afraid of
his biting YOU"
The doctor said he wasn't afraid Of
that. He rolled up his sleeve, and as
soon as he got a chance he took the eel
by the middle and lifted it out of the
water. 1t wasn't a very large one, only
eighteen inches long, but pretty stout.
The moment he lifted it he dropped
it, grabbed his right shoulder with his
left hand and looked aloft.
What is the matterP' said /.
'.Why, I thought something fell on
me from the rigging" said he. II was
sure my arm was broken. I never had
such q blow in my life."
