The program was that at the word Il

should give the word.

voice
The words seemed scarcely uttered

but Baum followed him more furious
ly than ever, until the lieutenant had
reached the opposite side of the room.
'IIalt,' called out the Napoleonic
veteran, interposing his sabre. The
combatants paused and took their for
mer places.

carried on according 10 the code, lut

The old veteran snapped his eyes at
the audacious Giesen, and then whis-
pered a few words to his principal,
probably suggesting that he use his
sabre more and his legs less. The lat
ter nodded assent and said he was
ready.
That was splendid" whispered
Giesen to his man, who was eager for
the second round. Just hit little
quicker, if you can. He will stick
this time. The next round will settle
it."
Once more the word was given.
Once more the student rushed at his
adversary. This time the lieutenant
did stick. There was a fierce clashing

Teaching Deaf ..utes to Speak.

Teaching Deaf autes to Speak.
Deaf mutes may be taught 10 spsak
and TO understand articulate speech by
merely watching the motion OF the vo-
cal organs. This method is bv no
means novel, rs il has long been prac-
tlced 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 n
modern times. It is recorded in his
tory that deaf man was taught to
pronounce words and sentences by AZ
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
a 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
of the te lcher. to utter articulate
sounds. This, it is found, is not
very difficult task for the pupil, but it
is extremely tedious. requiring long
and underwriting practice. and the
greatest patience on the part of the
!, teacher. In Germany this art of lip
teaching has been much more success
ful 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 adj
mitted, however, by all schools that
have tried this method Of in ,truction,
that though it is often highly success
full in special cases by the help of
! much individual teaching. it can not
be used 10 any effect in large institu-
tions where class instruction is abs0-
. lutely necessary. Another system.
however. has been introduced of late
years into English anal American
schools. 1t is called visible speech
and was invented by y Melville Bell,
professor of vocal physiology in Eng
land in 104S. 1t consists of a 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
i which the human month 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 Abraha am Bell, the son Of
the inventor. into the Clarke Institu-
ton at northampton, Mass, where 1t
is now the only system Of articulation
teaching used. Professor Bell soon
after opened a school for lnstructing
! teachers in this system in Boston.

A menagerie In Hi. stom ach.

A Marine Hospital surgeon tells OF a
remarkable case that came under his OBJ
servation. 1t was that of tall, lank,
cadayerous sailor who complained that he
suffered almost perpetual pain in the
stomach
At times he would be seized with fright
full eonvulsions, and nothing seemed to al
lay his snfferings but food. He had a raw
enous appetite, and could eat hearty
meal dozen times day. The doctors,
after long course Of treatment, succeed

and also snake 3 inches long resembling
monstrous angle worm. The physicians
were somewhat astonished at finding 80
strange resident as the snake IN the
mans stomach but they were quite
dumbfounded by the startling phenome-
nom that presented itself soon after While
examining the reptile, the physicians
found that it was actually giving birth TO
another claimant for the vast quantity of
food devoured by the unfortunate Jack
tar. They could account for the appear
ance Of the snake in the mans stomach,
but that reptile, which when quite
small had found its way there should in
crease to ius present size, and also have
yeung was problem which they were un-
able to solve.

Memory and Nutrition.

The editor of 'Heraid and Health 10
discussing the subject OF s.Memory and
Nutrition" gives an interesting reminis-
cence of Agassiz. He says:
Memory Is also to large extent, de-
pendent upon q perfect circulation OF the
blood in the brain The following case IL
illustrates the effects OF impeded circulation
OF the blood on the memory, and is also a
very interesting account OF the workings
of the mind Ia sleep as given by Mrs.
Agassiz In the life Of her husband.
'sHe fAgassiz] had been for two weeks
striving to decipher the somewhat obscure
impression Of fossil fish on the stone slab
in which it was preserved. Weary and
perplexed he put his work aside at last
and tried to dismiss it from his mind.
Shortly after, he one night awoke, per-
suaded that while asleep he had seen his
fish with all the missing features perfectly
restored. But when he tried to hold and
make fast the image, it escaped lim.
Nevertheless, he went early to the Jarc1n
des Plantes. thinking that On looking anew
at the impression he should see something
which would put him on the track OF his
vision. In vain, the blurred record was as
blank az ever The next night be saw the
fish again, but with no satisfactory result
When he awoke it disappeared from his
memory as before. Hoping that the same
experience might be repeated on the third
night, he placed pencil and paper beside
his bed before going to- sleep. According
ly, toward morning, the fish reappeared in
his dream, confusedly at first. but, at last,
with such distinctness that he had no
longer any doubt as TO its geological char
acter. Still half dreaming, in perfect
darkness he traced these characters on
the sheet Of paper at the bedside. In the
morning he was surprised to see In his noe
turnal sketch features which he thought
it impossible the fossil itself should re-
veal He fastened TO the Jardin des
Plantes, and, with his drawing as guide,
succeeded in chiseling away the surface OF
the stoue under which portions Of the dsh
proved to be hidden When wholly ex-
posed, it corresponded with his dream and
his drawing, and he succeeded IN classify
ing it with ease He often spcke OF this as

People have come to look upon g

would exalt kitchen; would make it q
ladies' schoolroom and children's school
room In every home there should be q
place in which to study Kitchen matters
just as chemical laboratory is to the
college, and it should not be turned over
TO an uneducated person. 1t should be 8
place Of instruction, place to train Tor
practical work. In the kitchen should be
demonstrations before the children, In
which they should learn the occupation OF
cooking and providing food for the table.
One reason why 50 many women dislike
kitchen work is because their kitchens are
so miserable provided 30 devoid Of con-
