The Hated Name Of Gessler.

One by one all the romantic episodes
of yore are being ruthlessly obliterated
by the modern nationalist school Of his
t%orians, and their latest decision is that
no such hero as William Tell and no
such tyrant as. Gessler ever existed.
They claim, although their deeds are
recorded in song and legend, that Tell
and Gessler are but mythical person.
ages; but a recent adventure shows that
1t would be unwise TO vent these skept-
ical ideas among the Jealous believers
OF the -Four Forest Cantons. 1t appears
that Baron von Gessler, a Russian noble
man OF German extraction. but who
never dreamed that the detested Land
vogt of Schiller's play had a place on
his family tree, hired a boat, together
with some friends, TO cross from Brun-
men TO the Rutli. During the passage
N OF the party CHANGED TO address the
young nobleman by his name. The
boatman started with horror. He drop
ped his oar for n moment, and then
said to the astonished company. II
would not have a Gessler in my boat for
a hundred francs" In spite of all en-
treaties and attempted explanations he
turned the head of his boat, rowed to
the land and insisted that the supposed
descendant of Gessler should disem-

Deaf MuteS.

The ancients had the greatest horror
Of all that was feeble and infirm; with
them poverty was despicable and suffer-
ing a scandal. 1t is no wonder, then,
that among the beauty and pleasure
loving Greeks the deaf mute was looked
upon as disgrace to humanity, and I'M
der the barbarous laws of Lycurgus they
were exposed to die. Nor was highly
cultured Athens less cruel than Sparta
toward those unfortunate creatures.
Deaf mute children were pitilessly sacri-
feed without voice being raised on
their behalf. The first who seems TO
have seriously occupied himself with
this phenomenon of deaf-muteism was
the philosopher Aristotle, and he
declared congenltal deaf mutes to be in
capable Of instruction, and this was the
unlversal. opinion of classical antiquity.
with the same cruelty as the Greeks. As
soon as child was found to be deaf and
dumb 1t was sacrificed to the Tiber.
Only those escaped whom the waves
washed back to the shore, or whom the
natural love Of their parents kept hid
den from the eyes of the world. Yet In
the centuries Immediately preceding the
Christian era there was sensible dlml-
mutton In the number of victims of these
barbarous laws, although about 30 years
Ii. c. the poet Lucretius pronounced
himself In favor Of Aristotle's opinions
regarding deaf mutes. But In the course
of time certain rights were granted to
those deaf mutes who gave proof Of
ability-suoh as had been brought up
secretly by their parents showing some
signs Of intellect; this gradually dissl
pated the horrible prejudice with which
their brethren in misfortune had hither-
TO been regarded. Pliny mentions con-
genital deaf mute, called Quintus Pedius,
who distinguished himself as an artist
He was grandson of the council of the
same name, who flourished in the reign
Of Augustus. 1t Is also probable that
deaf mutes were employed as pantomi-
mists when pantomime was one of the
favorite ampsements of the Romans.
M. Il. Muller gives to the Egyptians the
credit of first instructing deaf mutes.
They, as we'll as the Persians, always
respected persons thus afflicted, and
their hieroglyphic mode Of writing was
especially suited for their education. 1t
Is doubtless something more than mere
coincidence that their better treatment
by the Romans dates from the time of
the incorporation of Egypt as Roman
province.-[The Ninteenth Century.

Making the Lips Red.

$50 far ms my own experience goes"
said a physician yesterday, "painting
the lips Is not wide spread vice In
America. 1t is seldom resorted to, for
men Of the smallest observation know
the methods women pursue for making
their lips red"
"What do you mean ~
''rhey bite them. 1t is impossible to
see women In u car or anywhere when
men are around that they do not con-
tinually press their lips with their teeth,
and bite them with more or less fierce
ness. This brings the blood to them
and makes them red. Still, as 1t also
keeps them from chapping in the winter,
there is no reason why 1t should be con-
demned. AS for cosmetics, they have al
most gone out of date, and have not any
thing like the run they used to have.
Women have at last learned that good
health brings color, and exercise has
taken the place ofpowder and paint. "

The John-Rabbit.

Soon after the open-eyed pilgrim has
crossed The limpid Missouri, he begins
to notice pale sreaks athwart the
landscape, Which he learns at last are
jack-rabbits in motion with their brief,
yet genial, tails up like startled steer
in the sweet-con.
The jack.rabbit is not bird Of prep.
He does not attack man, unless woun-
ded, when he becomes ferocious and
bad. DO not try to 60 neat the fe-
male jack.fabbit when she is on her
nest, or she may pounce upon you
and injure you.
When jack-rabbit sees you, he at
first seems surprised and annoyed; then
he makes few awkward attempts to
cord up interesting space between
yourself and him. This leads you on,
for you feel sure that you can put some
salt on his tail in a little while, and
take him home for the children. A
great many men have attempted to
salt the tail Of the jack-rabbit, and yet
it is surprising to know many of these
animals are roaming over the plains,
whose tails still remain unsalted.
The jack.rabbit is noted for his
Simultaneous and abrupt movements.
He is also very sensitive. lfyou speak
a harsh word to the jack-rabbit he will

would take the same bronco-steed and
the same high.priced hound and go
out to hunt the same jack-rabbit. He
would generally break his collar. bone

This thing could not last forever,
though. AT last the jack-rabbit died
