Before spoken language was there were
signs; before speech stepped in there were
gestures; the face did duty as a revealer
Of the emotions. and the hands accom-
panied by ~gesticulation. as that Of ideas,
and for all the ordinary purposes Of life
the code is amply sufficient. Watch two
deaf people as they use it. They have
plenty to say and know how to say it.
Their talk may not last more than ten
minutes. but if all that talk was written
ont it would cover an astonishingly large
amount of space, Politics, social topics,
all may have been discussed with equal
facility.
True, the deaf make a free use of the
manual alphabet in connection with signs,
but tho cause lies rather in muscular
WEAKNESS than in any inadequacy on the
part Of the signs themselves. As devel-
oped in the schools for the deaf. the sign
language has a capacity for thought ex.

In the morning a party OF st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Milwaukee people, about
100 in all, hired a train, went up TO Wind
sor and thence up the Thames in steam
launches. They were a merry crowd.
When the train reached Windsor the
party strolled through the parks sur
rounding the castle. laughing and sing.
ing, much TO the amazement Of the simple
villagers and awe stricken attendants.
Half n dozen pretty western girls were
romping ahead Of the main party at the
foot of the castle wall when they sud
denly came upon a tall, military looking
young man in riding costume, carrying a
big bunch Of p%rimroses and wild flowers.
ooh, what pretty flowersl' cried one Of
the misses. Where do you get them,
sir?" she asked, looking in~quiringly at the
young man. her face b~etraying not the
slightest sign of embarrassment.
II picked them over there, said the one
addressed. pointing to an Enclosure with
his riding whip. But you couldn't reach
them because that's private property.
Suppose you take these. | can get some
more.
He handed over the entire bunch, lifted
his hat politely and walked back for more
flowers. The girls thought him lawfully
nice" but they didn't know he was Prince

law. who, as a matter Of duty, religiously
picks wild flowers for her majesty every
day.--London Cor. New York Press.

According to Llndustrie Parisicnne, q
la%undryman in the vicinity of Paris has
discovered a very ingenious method Of
cleaning linen without soap. He uses no
soap or I've, nor chlorine, but replaces
these substances by boiled potatoes, with
which he rubs tho linen, This curious
process. It appears, is much superior to
those hitherto employed. and the worst

A speciir against drunkenness has often
been sought, but as yet there has been
found no remedy except that of moral de.
termination, Although the reform &C.
complished in this manner is encourar.
ing. there is a wide field for the use OF
some physical method for the reclamation
of besotted individuals who cannot be
reached by moral suasion. DR. Porting
slow, a well known physician and writer,
declares that the desire for drink Is q dis

specific against fever, so are subcutaneous
injections of s%trychnine tho absolute
means of curing the passion for intoxi-
eating liquors. 1t appears that SO far
back as 1913 this method Of treating was
employed, but it attracted little attention.
In 1884 the celebrated French physi-
clan, Dnjardin-P oimetz, was q most zeal
Gus advocate OF this method Of treatment.
The preparation and application of the
injection is quite simple. One grain Of
s~trychnine is dissolved in 200 drops Of
water, and the patient receives an iniec.
ton of five drops daily for u week or ten
days. The effects Of the injections are
surprising; after two or three of them the
drunkard has an appetite and is able to

turns, the result Of .Aulgence Is so dis.

ache and other equally disturbing effects,
that 1t becomes impossible for the inebri-
ate to touch another drop. 1t is recon-
mended TO make the injections during the
drunken sleep, when the patient awakens
