The Deaf Mutes.

Rev. A. w. Mann, the deaf mute
preacher. writes to the Cleveland
Leader in defense of deaf mutes as use
ful citizens:
deaf mutes are able to support
themselves by manual occupations Just
as well as people in possession of the
sense of hearing. No use whatever
exists, therefore, for their resorting to
begging. II is fact, however. that
the very few who are engaged in this
disreputable occupation are encouraged
to continue in it by the benevolent, who
are too easily moved by their appeals
for money. In nearly every case their
appeals have no basis of truth. The
success of those persons in living with
out work has encouraged unprincipled
hearing persons toimitate them. Hence,
the occasional arrests of impostors in
the larger cities. A way to remedy
this evil is to refer such applicants to
the officers of societies for organizing
charity. instead of giving them aid
directly. People are apt to come to
wrong conclusions concerning the deaf
mute community by noticing such
Some people suppose the
of deaf mr:cs to be subjects of
charity. and living upon it. can say
now, after much observation, that the
excess of such unworthy persons is
very much in favor of those impostors.
The majority, by very far. of deaf mutes
are honest, industrious, self-supporting
and useful citizens"

Nothing better shows the progress
of the race than the modern facilities
for postal communication. compared
with the past In the ancient world,
among the Assyrians and Persians,
stations were established days
journey apart and horsemen travelled
with all possible dispatch from one TO
another. From the establishment of the
Roman Empire down 10 the thirteenth
| century cOuriers were employed for
the quick transmission of dispatches.
But the remarkable thing about this
system was that the general public got
no advantage in the way Of commune
cation. as it was only government
dispatches which were allowed to be
sent by these posts. The first courier
to transmit private letters was adopted
in 1916. 1t is worthy Of note that when
the Spanish invaders entered Peru, in
1927. they found postal system i'll
existence by which messages were
transmitted by corps Of swift-footed
runners. Our own postal system was
organized in 1710. In 1853. Ben.
Franklin was Postmaster-General. and
in 176O he startled the country by
running postal wagon from Philadel-
phia through New York to Boston once
a week. Since then the income of the
post-office has steadily increased, and
the charges as steadily decreased. In
1916, letters sent under forty miles
were charged eight cents and over 500
miles twenty-five cents. Now half
ounce letter is conveyed TO any part of
this vast country for two cents. At this
rate there would be large profit over
the expense, were it moi for the
astonishingly low rate charged for
newspapers and periodicals. The two
cents pound which is the rate ON
printed matter is only fraction of the
cost to the government, and the coun-
try makes a present to the newspaper
proprictors of some $14.0OO.000 per
annum. The next reform will doubt
less be the increase of the weight
allowed on each letter to one ounce
that is, the citizen would then be
charged with the same rate for his
letter as the publisher pays
for his pound of printed matter.

MISTRESS AND MAID.

Our servants, whether rs individuals
or class, are to most Of us as strange
as if they came of an alien race and
spoke foreign tongue. Catechise the
first mistress You meet. and You will
discover how little she knows of the
life and customes of the class from
which her servants are drawn, and
what small part that little is learnt
in daily intercourse with those who
have been her daily companions for
so many years. Many mistresses talk
to their servants? Exactly 80, they do
talk to them. They impart scraps OF
family or local news, in which q proper
interest is manifested, or give informa-
tion or advice that is intended to be re,
ceivcd with gratitude. But TO talk with
them, or to listen to them while they
talk. requires tact aud sympathy far
deeper than they possess. The girls
hopes and fears, struggles and ambi-
tons, are alike unsupported and un-
known. The counterfeit might be in
