An Artistic Modern Mosaic.

There has lately been placed in the
American Church in the Via Nazionale.
Rome, a mosaic which. according to
the unanimous testimony of the Ital-
ians themselves, is the most important
example of this form of Art that recent
times have produced. 1t has been ex-
ecuted by the Venice and Murano Glass
Company from cartoons by Mr.. Burne-
Jones, and it covers the whole of the
roof of the apse, space OF not less
than eight hundred square feet The
subject may be briefly described as
Christ enthroned in the center Of the
New Jerusalem, with mysterious angel
forms around and about him, and, on
either hand, keeping watch over the
gates of the heavenly city, the arch.
angels Michael and his peers.

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

Astonishing Progress Made in the Methods
of Their Education.
1t is thought that there are over
seven hundred thousand deaf-mutes i'm
the world. The number in Great Brit
ain is twenty thousand, in this country
thirtv-five 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
ent 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 so born; and of the six
hundred and sixty-one pupils in the
similar institution in Ontario, only
two hundred and sixty-two. the
others having lost their hearing by
fcvcrs. measles and other diseases. 1t
seems, therefore. that the majority of
deaf mutes become so from preventible
causes-prcventiblci if 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 it
is more difficult. but it can be done;
and even where the ability acquired is
not equal to the needs of general inter-
course. il 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 and the
sign manual.
Prof Graham Bell thinks that deaf
mutes ought not marry. but careful in
vestigation doest not ontirm the idea
on which he bases his belief. The SUI
perintendent of the Ontario Institution
has been unable TO learn of single
deaf-mute born of deaf-mute parents;

THE WORLDS POPULATION.

Preponderance of Asia Over Europe and
Of Africa Over America.
1t is only in civilized countries-and
that within the last one hundred years
that we have an actual census of the
people. Sweden established as early
as 1775 quinquennial census; the
United States followed in 1890. with a
decennial enumeration in order to adj
Just the number of representatives to
the population. Then came England,
in 1901, with a decennial census, fol-
lowed by Norway, Holland and Dem
mark, also with deCennial periods;
France and Germany every five years;
Austria every six years.
Even with these census returns. the
actual number of people living on this
globe is only conjecturally known.
In former times these cOnjectures
were very wild. Thus the population
of the earth was estimated by
Riccioli in 1860 at . Loo. 0oO0 900 souls.

The estimate commonly accepted at

world in 1882 at .433, 900. 900, Of which
Europe has ............ss.0 am
America has,. lo.v0,UO

These figures remind us very forcibly
of how narrow the basis is on which the
worlds civilization rests. How enor-
nous is the prepondcrance of Asia over
against Europe. and of Africa over
against America! We are accustOmedto
speak-and quite justly. toO-of Asiatic
hordes; bit Africa has always been
looked upon as thinly settled. Statistics
show that it has its teeming millions.
1t is an interesting question what
would be the result if the millions of
Asiatics should begin migrating. We
know that in the fall of the Roman En-
pire the barbarians were constantly
pushed forward from behind. We know,
also. that medieval Germany had
hard struggle to defend its frontier
against Hungarians and Slavs. Sup
pose these great masses should begin
to move again. pressed by hunger,
armed. perhaps, with European weap-
ons of warfare, Our civilization is

During the past week we have
met many of our country friends who
were in town attending court, who
inform us that the crops throughout
their various sections were, as a gem
eral thing, very promising, especially
is this the case in regard to the rice
and corn. They report stock as in a
fourishing condition, and those who
have embarked in sheep raising say
their herds are prospecting beyond ex-
pectation. BY the way, sheep raising
is fast becoming very important bus
mess in Calcasieu, and in a few years
will become one of her most lucrative
enterprises, We have heard of several
gentlemen who propose going into the
sheep raising business on an extensive
scale in the near future. There is no
reason why sheep should not prosper
here, as our winters are mild and our
pralres are covered the year round
with green grass.
