Instruction of Deaf MuteS.

Alexander Graham Bell, whose name
is known to all who use the telephone,
takes deep interest in the instruction OF
deaf mutes In a recent letter on the
subject he says sin 1878 | organized a
day-school in Greenock, Scotland. At
my suggestion an unoccupied room was
secured in the Greenock academy, a
school containing, ! should think, up
ward of two hundred hearing children.
In this room the deaf children were
taught by a special articulation teacher
sent from America. They were caused
to associate with the hearing children in
the academy in every way possible. They
played with them, and joined them for
instruction in writing, drawing and sew
ing. The success of this school has
been so great that the board of education
has adopted it as permanancy, throwing
it open to all the deaf children of Green
ock and the surrounding towns. The
deaf pupils have formed many friend
ships among the hearing pupils of the
academy, with whom they converse freely
by word of mouth" He then goes on to
speak Of similar school which he has
recently had opened in Washington, ID.
G. 1--WE have obtained room IN
building occupied by a kindergarten
school for hearing children. There IS a
large garden in connection with this
building, and the deaf children will play
with the hearing children in the play
ground, and join them for an hour or So
every day in the kindergarten occupa-
tions. / think that the time has como
when some organized effort should be
made to convince the public and Tic
more conservative teachers OF the deaf OF
the practicability of articulation teacl.-
ing. The recent census shows us that
we have in this country about "a, 600
deaf mutes, and that more than half are
under twenty-one years of age. New
schools must be established, and why
should they not be day schools, where
the children may learn to speak and
understand speech by the eye, and be
kept in constant association with hearing
children2n

ohdut his death relates that his skull was
cleft from behind by blow from tilc
battle-axe of Sir Pierre EXton IN the
dungeon Of Pontefract castle :,
1t was seen, however, that nothing OF
the kind had happened TO the body when

doubts whether Henry V. really brought
the corpse of Richard ii. to London rom
Pontefract. and whether the body which
he EXPOSED to view was not rather that

known to have closely resembled hln;
The historic doubt ON this subject VIII
never be solved. The mode in which the
hairless monarch met his death IS a secret
of the prison house forever.
On another occasion il became neees-
sarv to open several of the royal vaults,
TO see whether it was true that the BODY
of James /. had been removed from tho
abbey by the Puritans. If this had
proved to be the case, there would have
been some small shadow of an excuse for
the base act of the parliament OF Charles
III. in turning out Of the Abbey the bodies
of Cromwell and his adherents.
1t was most interesting to hcaT the
dean describe the chaotic fullness OF the
vault of the Stuarts, which contains the
collins of prince Henry, Elizabeth, queen
of Bohemia, Mary Of Orange, Mary queen
of Scots. ten children of James H., eight
teen children of queen Anne, prince Rc-
pert, prince George of Denmark, ard
many others. This crowded Stuart vaul!
formed a great contrast to the majestic
quietudc of the Tudor vault, In which
only queen Elizabeth and queen Mary
Tudor lie side by side
The body of king James was at Hast

Henry VII and Elizabeth of York; ard,
as though one of the workmcn employed
in the intermcnt had wished to show his
scorn for the author of the ''counterblast

japanese Peculiarities.

Professor Morse, in lecture in Boston
on the domestic life of the japanese, said
that while the women Of Japan are much
more considerably treated than women
of most Eastern countries, they are re-
garded as social interiors and their de
meanor is that Of subordination. If a
dinner party be given all the women of
the household are absent, and. after the
dinner is eaten, girls are hired to come in
and entertain the company by singing
and conversation. These are profession
ais in this line, never members of the
household IF man and his wife 90
out to walk for pleasure or business the
woman walks behind the man about ten
feet distant. If servant goes with them
he walks ten feet behind the woman.
The Japanese like to accumulate relics.
curiosities and antiquities They are fond,
among other things of ancient pottery
The ceramic craze which is so new with
us. is about three hundred wears old at
least IN Japan. The houses are floored
in rough and clumsy fashion, but the
floors are made comfortable by covering
them with mats. These mats are laid in
a particular manner as to the joining of
mats in a twelve-mat room would be laid
differently from those of an eight-mat
room. The japanese never wear shoes
in the house Their shoes are made Of
wood. The feet set loosely in them,
leaving the toes free so that Japanese
foot is never cramped in its growth. and
the toes, being naturally developed, are
serviceable to some extent as are the
fingers of the hand for grasping and
holding objects. The houses have no.
chimneys, but are heated in cold weather
by charcoal stoves, the ventilation being
such that the carbonic acid gas escapes
and causes no injury. A japanese never
walks out at night without lantern, and
even the fircmen carry them when going
to extinguish conflagration. Fires are
frequent, and often very destructive on
account of the combustible material of
the houses. The small dealers always
keep their most valuable goods packed
so as readily TO be taken to place of
safety if a fire breaks out Tea is the
universal drink, and they have also a
malt liquor which is produced from rice,
which is much less stimulant and in
toxicant than our mildest beer

Fashion Notes.

Velvet ribbons are again In fashion.
Light ladies' cloth is the favorite fabric
for utility costumes.
The prettiest house wrappers are in the
Kate Greenaway styles.
Bridal dresses are frequently composed
of several different fabrics
Large collarettes and half capes of
duchesse lace are fashionable.
Tailor-made suits and coats will be
trimmed with fur this winter.
Children's cloaks of dark velvet and
wool are fashionably trimmed with light
gray lamoskin.
Ostrich tips in panaches are the favor
lite trimmings for Henri H., Henri H.,
and Girondin hats
Skirts of dresses should be narrow
when there are many hounces or super
imposed draperies
Swiss belts of leather or velvet are
worn by young ladies with cloth dresses.
They are made with points in front, the
upper one small and the lower very long.
and the back is a plain, straight band.
Jet belts of fine beads very close together
are worn with velvet waists.
The coat sleeve remains popular; it is
set high on the shoulder and fits the arm
closely. The sleeves are often finished at
the hand quite plain; sometimes there is
band of embroidery; occasionally there
Is cuff, and again the sleeve is finished
by a box-plaited frill OF velvet failing
over the hand.

Almost all physicists have been inter-
cstcd in the phenomena, but few, com
parafivcly. have made sclsmoiogy a
speciality Indeed, Mr., Robert Maliet, a
Dublin observer, Professor Fuchs, ana
one or two others stand almost alone as
the learned in that department, and they
must be considered learned in the sense
OF accommodating data rather than resolv-
ing the conditions of telluric commissions.
One theory attributes the disturbances TO
the heat Of the internal matter OF the
earth. The increase of one degree Fair
enheit for each fifty feet of descent INTO
earth seems 10 indicate, to this class oil
thinkers, that the crust Of the earth IS
very thin, and the pressure from within
enormous, end necessitated TO flnd
vent, either in volcanic action or IN
the room it makes for itself by strain on
the weaker places Another theory sup
poses that water, finding its way through
assures, and pouring In upon the
intensely hot matter within, causes an
explosion, the power, it is thought being
quite adequate 10 the most widely-ex-
tended agitations of the earth's surface.
1t is also held by some that chemical ac-
ton, properly so called, goes on upon a
prodigious scale IN the bowels OF the
earth, creating the most powerful ex-
plosive material of which the mind can
conceive. or making immense chambers
of vacuum. which the external pressure
breaks IN upon. others nave suggested
that the cooling down of the earth pro-
duces a series of contractions which. as
the earth's crust is of uneven thickness,
make disturbance on the surface. 1t Is
supposed by many that the earthquake,
like the tornado, is an electric phenome
non, the electric current, like thunder

surface of the earth. There are scientists
who bring the moon in as a
cause. As there is an ocean tide,
there is also an atmosphere tide
which follows the moon in its course !;
and so there is also an attempt on the
part of nature TO make telluric tide. which
succeeds only when combination of
favoring conditions allow. And some
suggest that to raise the question of the
causes of earthquakes is much like in

and, indeed, all the wise men of the early
unscientific ages, and such men as Mich
ell and Young in modern times, have
had something to say in the dynamics of
earthquakes, and yet smallresultshave been
reached. The nearest to scientific basis
for inquiry is the conclusion.of seismolo-
gists, that an earthquake Is vibratory
motion, propagated through the earth as
sound is through the air, which certainly
is not much of stride in knowledge.
