Palatss of Rubber.

Here is something which might interest
you, said the physician, handing the re-
porter red fay OF soft rubber spatulated
at one end like beavers tail and bearing
small riyets at tho other
What's tbst2
An artificial soft palate You know
some people are 10 unfortunate as 10 be
born with n cleft 10 the roof Of the mouth,
which interferes sadly with their speech.
All sounds which depend upon the breath
being excluded from the nose, like n aud
m, they are unable to pronounce These
sounds are called nasal, because they go
through the nose. Look in the glass with
your mouth wide open and You will see
little tongue dangling away back at the
the roof OF the mouth This Is the uvuls,
which il absent in the case Of those who
have cleft palates. II helps 10 swallowing
as well as in speech. Now. this artificial
uvula is not tho natural shape, as you see,
but is thinned ont and spread out like
fan at one end. That is 80 that IL may rest
against the muscle which would naturally
move the palate. The other end OF tho
piece is riveted to plate which is kept in
the roof OF the mouth, either by suction
or by springs.
A queer thing about these cases OF cleft
pslates is that the perception Of the proper
sounds OF letters dies out as the man
grows older, A child In whose mouth IN
artificial palate is attached soon learns to
talk as naturally as people whose palates
are normal. But those who have passed
middle life before they have one put in
have, it is said, to learn language like
French, where the great prevalence Of ma
sal sounds compells them to notice their
importance. Only in that way do they
learn to TO speak English properly.

"A Curious but Valuable Gift.

The man is still living who seventeen
years ago walked into the rooms OF the
Bible Society in Boston and electrified the
persons whom he found there first by bis
appearance, and secondly, by the commu-
nication which he had to make. His ap.
pearance betokened more than poverty,
for his shabby clothes we're tied together
with strings. What in the world had
brought such a man there, was the ques
ton every one asked himself. and tho Won
der can be better imagined than described

he would like to turn over TO the society

officers suppressed their amazcment as
well rs they could, took bis name, verified

mitted the case TO the directors. They
looked the matter over in the light Of ac-
tuaries tables, etc. and finally after much
deliberation, decided that the risk was too
great and notified the would be donor.

indeed, hadn't the heart to do that. The
