The "M0Xa" Remedy.

Although tattooing is confined to
the lower orders of the Japanese,
round white spots are to be seen on the
skin of almost every native of Japan
in all ranks of life. These spots are
known, DR.. Baelz tells us, as "moxa,"
and they are produced by burning the
flesh in peculiar way, with the OBJ
ject Of curing some disease. The be.
lief in the efficacy of moxa is univer-
sal in Japan, and the Portuguese and
Spaniards must have adopted the same
faith, in its power to alleviate or cure
deep-seated pain for they introduced
both the treatment and its japanese
name into Europe. This is said to be
the manner in which moxa is prac-
ticel in Japan. In May the leaves of
the Artemisia caineaSis are powdered
and dried, and the mass is cut into
small blocks or pieces. One of these
pieces is laid on the body and set on
fire so as to burn slowly away. At
first the operation naturally produces
a sore, more or less deep according to
the intensity of the heat The sore
soon heals, but there is left a scar for
ever. Those who have been subjected
to this "remeiy" say that it is by no
means so painful as what would be
supposedin the absence of actual expe-
tenee.

schools. 1t Is called visible speech
and was invented by A. Melville Bell,
a professor of vocal physiology in Eng.
land in lS4S. 1t consists of species
of phonetic writing. based not upon
sounds but upon the action of the
vocal organs in producing them. The
characters of this universal alphabet
reveal to the eye the position of these
organs in the formation of any sound
which the human mouth can utter.
In 1869 this alphabet was first applied
in England to the instruction of deaf
mutes. and in 1872 it was introduced
by Professor Abraham Bell. the son OF
the inventor, into the Clarke Institu.
tion at Northampton. Mass, where it
is now tho only system of articulation
teaching used. Professor Bell soon
after opened school for instructing
teachers in this system in Boston
which, we think, is still carried on.--

The Biggest Duck Killing Yarn.

Several old sports were seated
around the table at the Board Of
Trade last Sunday, and as usual were
deeply interested in narrating .hS,r
achievements in the duck hunting
line. and some very tall yarns were
spun, but as nobody questioned the
volunteered experience of anybody
else in the crowd, everything went
along peacea5ly until Col. Minor took
a hand with the following statement,
which for the time being completely
paralyzed the boys:
"You fellows think you're mighty
smart when you try to stuff us that
you've killed forty and fifty ducks at
shot You're no good. / saw a
shot once that killed a million "'
"Oh, let up" chorused the gang.

alone I'll nuke it two million, and
ard then I'll be on the inside"
"Let's have it, then, if it isn't too
much sudden DEATH
"Well, l don't care whether you be-
lieve me or not" said the old gentle
man, "but it's the truth I'm telling
you. In 1915 l was captain of the
steamboat Gazellc, running in the gulf
trade from Houston to Galveston,
coasting. as it were. "At the northern
end of the bay was river barely nav
igable at the best of times. The sur
rounding country was unsettled, and
the region was perfect godsend for
sportsmen. Winged game was innu-
merable. and seemingly made it their
headquarters, more especially during
stormy weather, as tho locality was
we'll sheltered and land-locked. A
storm arose after we left Galveston on
this particular trip. and as steamboats,
were not built either as large or as
substantial as they are at the present
time, we broke for shelter and an
chored at the mouth of the river.
The spot is now known as San JaeiESc
bay.) 1t was barely twilight, but the
whole river as far rs we could see was
a solid mass of ducks, geese. and trout.
Suddenly flash of lightning or a
thunderbolt sprang out of the sky;
there was deafening and binding
shock, such as l had never before OF
have ever since experienced, and all
those ducks turned up their toes"
"Kill 'cm alp" asked one of tn.

BLESSED ii know" said the colonel,
"but the whole of Galveston bay was
covered with ducks for a fortnight
The people lived on salted duck fol

Fear and HydrOphObla.

1t is well recognized that fear OF
nervous apprehension can induce a
fatal disease having nearly, if not all,
the characters of hydrophobia. But it
is not true to assert that hydrophobia
is always brought on by the mental
anxiety that a dog bite. not infrequent-
ly occasions We make these plain as
sertions because some of our weekly
contemporaries have thought ft to re-
gard the hydrophobic panic" as they
call it, as unwarranted and mischiev'
GUS in its working. Certainly any.
thing like panic is to be repressed,
and no occasion in life can "panlc"
benefit though it may harm commu-
nifty. Hydrophobia is a nervous dis
eace, but it has the material cause, a
poison, which is most likely germ
or micro organism. 1t is a curious
fact that birds, even when inoculated
with the poison of rabies, do not suffer
from the disease. We have frequently
mentioned the fact that some individ-
uals appear to enjoy, with birds and
other animals, the same kind of i'm.
munity. Whether it is those persons
who are not given to fear or nervous
apprehension who always escape hydro
phobia, even though bitten by rabid
dog, We are not in position to state.
But nothing can be more detrimental
to a bitten sindividual than to brood
over his misfortune, or make himself
miserable by learning all the SYMPTOMS
of hydrophobia.

If the other child did not need treat

that the second child was in any way

the child to him, and made some little

the lungs. and told the mother she

Teaching Deaf Mutes to Speak.

Deaf mutes may be taught to speak
and to understand articulate speech by
merely watching the motion of the vo-
cal organs. This method is by no
means novel, as it has long been prac-
ticed in some OF the schools of Europe,
and the earliest attempts to teach the
deaf and dumb to speak appear to
have been as successful as those in
modern times. 1t is recorded in his
tory that a deaf man was taught to
pronounce words and sentences by ar
English bishop in the year 6S5, and
from that time isolated classes of the
same sort are mentioned till the latter
part of the eighteenth century when
school for the teaching of articulate
speech to mutes was started in Ger
many. The method of this teaching
is very simple. 1t consists merely in
training the pupil by initiating the
position and action of the vocal organs
of the teacher, to utter articulate
sounds. This, it is found, is not a
very difficult task for the pupil, but it
is extremely tedious, requiring long
and unintermitting practice. and the
greatest patience on the part of the
teacher. In Germany this art of lip
teaching has been much more success
full than it has ever been in England or
America, perhaps because the German
language is more adapted than the
English to acquired speech on this
plan. 1t seems to be generally ad-
mitted. however, by all schools that
have tried this method of in struction,
that though it is often highly success
full in special cases by the help of
much individual teaching. it can not
be used TO any effect in large institu-
tions where class instruction is abso-
lutely necessary. Another system.
however. has been introduced of late
years into English and American
