A HERO.

The warrior knows how fitful is the fight,
How sal to live, how sweet perchance to
die.
Is fame his joyl He meets her on the hight,
And when he falls he shouts his battle-cry;
His eyes are wet; our own will not be dry.
Nor shall we stint his praise, or our delight,
When he survives TO serve his Land Alright,
And make his fame the watchword of the
sky.
In all our hopes, his love is with us still;
He tends our faith, he soothes us when we
grieve.
His acts are just; his word we must be
lieve;
And cone shall spurn him, though his blood
they spill
To pierce the heart whose pride they cannot
kill.
Death dies for him whose fame is his re-
prieve.

Tho Deaf and Dumb in Antiquity.

The ancients had the greatest horror OF
ali that was feeble and infirm with them
poverty was despicable and suffering
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 under the
barbarous laws of Lycurgus they were
exposed to die. Nor was highly cultured
Athens less cruel than Sparta toward
these unfortunate creatures Deaf-mute
children were pitilessly sacrificed with
out voice being raised in their behalf.
The first who seems to have seriously oc-
cupied himself with this phenomenon of
deaf-mutism was the philosopher Aristo-
tie and he declared congenital deafmutes
to be incapable of instruction, and this
was the universal opinion of classical an
tiquity. The Romans treated these un-
fortunates with the same cruelty as the
Greeks. AS soon as child was found to
pe deaf and dumb it 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
hidden from the eyes of the world. Yet
in the centuries Immediately preceding
the Christian era there was a sensible
diminntion in the number of victims of
the barbarous laws, although, about 150
years b. c., the poet Lucretius pro-
nounced himself in favor OF Arstotle's
opinion regarding deaf -mutes But in
the course of time certain rights were
granted to those deal-mutes who gave
proof Of ability, such as had been brought
up secretly by their parents showing
some signs of intellect. This gradually
dissipated the horrible prejudice with
which their brethren in misfortune had
hitherto been regarded. Pliny mentions
a congenital deaf-mute, called Quintus
Pedius, who distinguished himself as an
artist, lie was grandson the Consul
of the same name, who flourished in the
reign of Augustus. 1t is also probable
that deaf mutes were employed as pan
tomimlsts when pautomime was one of
the fayorite amusements of the Romans.
NJ. II. Muller gives to the Egyptians the
credit of first instructing deaf -mutes.
| They as we'll rs the Pcrsians always re-
spected persons thus afflicted, and their
hieroglyphic mode of writing was espe-
cially suited to 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

A Canary that Sings s'Mikado. "

''For two weeks" said a passenger on
a Van Buren street car, Il have been
trying to get rid Of canary which we
have in the house. My wife won't let
me kill it, and we can't give it away,
have had dozens of people in to see the
bird and hear it sing, but everybody re-
fuses to take it away, with the cage
thrown in. Sing nicely? Yes, great
singer. But here is where the trouble
comes in. That bird sings from early
morning till late at night but it won't
sing anything but Mikado.' Yes, sir,
it's 'Mikado' all day long. For weeks
my wife hummed 'Mikado' airs about the
house and thrummed 'Mikado' airs on
piano, until finally the bird caught on
and 'Mikado' it has been ever since. If
don't succeed in giving the bird away
by tomorrow night there will be a muir

Ex-King Theebaw's famous hairy
family, which he long kept jealously at
Mandalay, are to visit Europe for exhi-
bition. The family have been renowned
in Burmese history for many years, and
the present members, a mother and son,
form the fourth generation known. The
mother, Maphon, is sixty-three, quite
blind, and usually sits motionless on a
platform, occasionally tanning herself,
and speaking in low, sweet voice. She
was seen and described by Colonel Yule
when on a missiof to the Court of Ava in
1855. Save her hands and feet, she is
covered with long, soft hair, like her son,
Mo-po-sin, who is covered even to the
drums of his ears, the hair in some places
being FIVE inches long. Mo-po-sin is o.
medium height, with pale brown skin
and is fairly friendly, having been partl!
educated, and married to maid-of
honor. Neither he nor his mother ha
either canine teeth or grinders.

Prof. Grauu, of the Berlin Geograph.
ical Society, estimates that, outside OF
the polar regions, an area of at least
500, 900 square miles is still geographic
cally terra incognita. Europe has been
thoroughly surveyed, all but the icy
summit regions of the northernmost
fields, but in old Asia vast territories are
known only from hearsay, as the soil,
tudes of the Bactrian desert and the
mountain regions of western China. The
best maps of central Africa still show
blanks and conjectural dots; the secret
of the Niles lakes has yet by no means
been satisfactorily solved; the sources OF
the Congo and the upper tributaries OF
the Zambei still rise in a cloudland of
tradition. Brazil and its border states
still contain certain large stretches of
untrodden virgin woods, the swamp
labyrinth Of the Gran Chaco, for in
stance. and the all but impenetrable jun
eles of the delta formed by the junction
1 of the Rio MADEIRA and Machato, where
n even the native Indians can travel only
nAy the waterways of an occasional inun-
tiOn.

1t is estimated that twenty five acres
OF grass land are necessary to keep an
animal the year round in Arizona. The
total acreage of the Territory is about
$4,000, 600. On this basis, it is easy to
estimate its capacity for cattle-raising.
But serious drawback is water. This
will haveto be supplied by artesian wells,
if at all. AS yet, only about half OF the
grazing area is occupied.

Few persons. perhaps, are aware that
they possess pair of harps. They are
called the organs of Corti, after their
discoverer, and are located in the ear.
They are estimated to have 8, 700 strings,
being, of course, microscopic and varying
in length from 1000 to 1900 of an inch.
If you hold properly tuned violin near
piano when the E string is struck the
Z violin string will vibrate and sound
too; so with all the rest. Now, the
s,7O0 strings of the human ear harp have
such e wide compass that any appreciable
sound in the universe has the CORES
ponding tone string, and the sound is
conveyed through the connecting fila
ment to the auditory nerve, thence to the
sensorium, and thus knowledge of tn,
sound is received by the mind.

To talk with ones mouth seems to be
'he end and aim of good many men and
most women; but John Carter, an Eng
ish peasant, makes use of his to paint
with. Some years ago he lost the use of
all his limbs by paralysis, occasioned by
falling from tree. Ho was, of course,
bcdridden, and Of sudden acquired a
faculty of painting on Bristol board by
the aid of his mouth. His work was sus-
pended above him, and with his camel's
hair pencil dipped in sepia he made the
necessary strokes, as fine and as effective
as delicate line engraving. One of his
works, ga Ratcatcher and His Dogs, "
was disposed of not long since to gen.
sleman of Boston, says the Herald, for a
sum amounting to nearly $4,000.
