Where the Columbine stranded there is
only very short stretch of shingly

fathoms either to the east or west of
the identical spot on which it now lies
it would only have been dashed to

and become an irrevocable wreck, and
Elizabeth Mouat would have been

The solitary passenger was now
eagerly looking ont from the hatchway,
which stood breast high to her from
her footing on the box beneath. She
was able to see young lads who had for
some time been watching the smack.
She waved her arms and raised her
voice to its highest pitch. As the
poor woman screamed for help
the lads shouted in return. Sew
eral ran off to the nearest hamlet,
called Farstad, for assistance. A num-
Der of fishermen arrived, but as. the
vessel was distant from the beach six
hundred yards and was in heavy surf
it was evidently going to be work of
considerable difficulty to get on board
One fisherman with rope around his
waist walked into the sea, but was sew
eral times beaten back. At length,
getting hold of part of sail and a
rope hanging from the bow he climbed
on board and was soon afterward fol-

ABOUT DEAF-MUTES.
Astonishing Progress Made In the Methods
of Their Education.


of Their Education.
It is thought that there are over
seven hundred thousand deaf-mutes in
the world. The number in Great Brit
ain is twenty thousand, in this country
thirty-fvc thousand. Their instruction
involves peculiar difficulties, but with
out they become a heavy public burden.
1t is only about seventy years since the
first institution was established for the
purpose, and there are now but forty
eight in the United States, number
altogether inadequate. With the pres
ont arrangements, the cost of each
pupil is two hundred dollars year, as
it includes the expense Of boarding
them.
Most of this class of persons have all
the organs of speech, and are mute
only because they are deaf, either never
having learned, or having forgotten
how to use them in spoken language.
But it is the minority who are born
deaf. OF the three hundred and sixty
four graduates af the Pennsylvania In
stitution, only one hundred and thirty
two were 50 born; and Of the six
hundred and sixty-onc pupils in the
similar institution in Ontario, only
two hundred and sixty-two, the
others having lost their hearing by
fevers, measles and other diseases. 1t
seems, therefore, that the majority of
deaf mutcs become so from prcventiblo
causes-preventibleif medical attention
was earlier called to the condition Of
| the ear.
Formerly deaf-mutes were taught to
converse only by manual signs. Lat
terly it has been found possible to teach
them to converse by articulation. This
is comparatively easy in the case of
those whose deafness came on after
they had learned to talk. In others ii
is more difficult, but it can be done;
and even where the ability acquired is
not equal to the needs of general inter.
course, it is to that of the home. In
the Clinton Street School, Philadelphia
articulation alone is taught, and the
more advanced pupils there compare
in some branches with other children
of the same age whose senses are per
feet 1t is doubtless, on the whole
best to learn both articulation aud thu

THE KINGS CARES.
The Monarch Of Sweden and Norway Asks
for Incomes for His Sons.

The Monarch Of Sweden and Norway Asks
for Incomes for His Sons.
The King of Sweden and Norway has
a private income of about $3.50, 900.
The Crown Princes salary is included
in this. The second son, Prince Oskar,
the Duke of Cortland, will soon be
twonty-eight years of age, so that the
King finds it proper that he also should
receive personal allowance Of 81, 900.
The King made his demands in Parlia-
ment in lengthy speech in which he
recited the needs of his sons-he has
iour--as follows:
Both MS father and as King my heart
is filled with sorrow when think Of
the future Of my younger sons. gave
them as good an education as was pos
sible. They must first thank their
mother for having made them good and
honorable young men, who deserve the
confidence and love of all good people.
Their demands are such rs are asked
of others. Thus far they have fulfilled
all expectations. They have passed.

tons most successfully, as well as do
ing duty in the private service Of the
army. Now if my sons have passed
their examinations like other Swedish
young men, do they possess the samo
premises for Independent positions OF
activity and dutyp Not at all. The
Governments of Norway and Sweden
coufinc their civil freedom and rights
in personal as we'll as an economical
way, to very close limits. In polite
al way they are debarrcd from the
privileges OF voting and election. In
tornational regards also limit thcir llb-
crty. They can not, without losing
their rights as heirs, marry privately
and obey the dictates of the heart.
They can not accept any civil position,
they can not travel as they want 70.
even after they roach their majority.
and of late it has been the custom not
to allow them any thing for military
service, although they are obliged to
fulfill the same Responsibilities aS Others
in the service. Although they arc
hereditary Princes and deprived Of
much civil liberty they are not rcim
bursed from the public treasury to give
them other advantages
The King then remembered how
much he and his brothers and sisters
received, and finally declared his inten.
ton Of making a request for his second
son, provided. however, that In the
budget for 1889 and 1893 he would
make some demands for his younger
sons. King 0skar then announced
that the Norwegian Government had
decided to allow the Duke of Cortland
Prince Oskar, $4,000 per year.
The Swedish Staatsrath allowed the
Kings demands and prepared an 40
companying act for the Reichstng, but
the press, even the mildcst papers
objected thereto, claiming TINT tht
sons had inherited from their grand
J mother, Queen Josephine, n sufficient
fortune to allow the interest Thereon
to provide handsomely for them.
