F1uency of the Sign 1anguag~s

Before spoken language was Unere were signs; before speech stepped in therc Jere gestures; the face did duty as a revcaIsc of the emotions, and the hands accompaaied by gesticulation, as that of ideas, and TeS all the ordinary purposes of life the ccDe is amply sufficient. Watch two deaf p=9ple as they use it. They have plenty u0 say and know how to say it. Their JaTR Ray not last more than ten minutes, but Es all that talk was written out it would covGz an astonishingly large amount or s-Ace. Politics, social topics, all may have ERen discussed with equal facility. Truu. the deaf make free use of the manual aH7ha- bet in connection with signs, but the oaNse lies rather in muscular wearlness tns4a in any inadequacy on the part of signs uEum- selves. As developed in the schools TOE she deaf, the sign language has capacrrE for thought expression absolutely marv01aus. Moreover, it is swift, comprehensivc-Nnd yet cOndensed-and above all it is sc-ont.

A BEAUTY DOCTOR,
How New York Woman Treats Her Pa
 tients for Cglincss.

How a New York Woman Treats Her Pa
 tients for UgIincss.
 There is a woman in New York who has a growing clientele of patients coming to her to be treated for Ugliness, says the New York World. They may be in perfect health physically, but not quito at peace in their minds because of defects which render them unplcaslng in tho eyes of their fellow mortals, and shC ministers to this mind diseased by curing, as far as possible, the complaint of plainness. Women go to her to be made thinner or StOuter, to have their color heightened or reduced, to be treated for ugly complcXiOns, red eyes, thin hair, round shoulders, and all tho physical faults which make the difference between beauty and the lack of it. To women who are too stout she recommends bath of salt water in the morning, two or three handfuls of rock salt being put in the bath over night and allowed to dissolve. They must be rubbed down with a heavy Turkish towel after this salt bath and are to sleep on hard beds, while the only internal treat mcnt she prcscribcs is Congress water and grain or two of roasted coffee, to be cheWcd half an hour before meals, which will greatly lessen the appetite for food. She suggests dict of crosses, lettuce and spinach with desserts of Iceland moss jel- lies.
 Thin women she feeds on carrots and parsnips and doses them with a few drops of acid phoShatc before meals to give them an appetite for the mullins, brown bread, oatmeal, and fruit that arc to form the greater part of their dict But what she prin- cipally relies upon to add flesh to thin girls is a pint of sweet milk to be drank every night just before getting into bed. She orders off the cOrSCtS of rOund-ShOuldered girls and puts them into braces instead, with daily exercises on q pulling machine to help on the good work, while awkward and heavy girls arc gfVcn q bar over which they arc to jump many times every day. When woman has become too tlOrid she is fed on sassafras tea and given hot baths, and the pale woman has her baths cold and a bottle of claret each day. This ' beauty doctor,o as she is called, has effected some wonderful cures of plainncgS, and in SeVer- al cases has taken entire charge of a woman for six months with the result that at the end of that time her friends scarcely knew her. There is talk of an infirmary or pri- vate hospital being established near New i York, of which the beauty doctor is to have charge, and where women will go, as they do now to the rest cures, to undergo thorough treatment for ugliness. This female beauty cultivator is stern and die tatorial, and will immediately give up a case if her directions arc not followed to the letter. She has great hopes of her hospital, where her patients will be direct ly under her eye and she can see that her ideas are carried out. She holds that there is no excuse for thorough uglness, and that it can be to great extent made mat ter of will with a woman whether she will be pretty and pleasing or not.

An Artistic VVatch-DiaI.

The changes which the flight of time brings upon humanity afford an inexhausti- ble subject for the poet and the artist. As a notable specimen of Cmblcmatic work of a very appropriate and delicious kind, a watch-dial now in process of construction at Waltham, Mass, is described by the American JeoCeler. It contains, instead of the usual numerals, twelve small but dis tinct silhouette figures, beginning with a woman with very young child in her arms. At one o'clock the lady and her little baby are clearly depicted, the infant being in long clothes. At two o'clock the same fig ures appear, but the-child is a little larger At three o'clock maAma is still there, but the infant is in short clothes. At four o'clock he again appears, and so on up to eight O clock, when he goes to school for the first time. At nine o'clock he may be seen with his college gown and mortar board and the pleased smile of the now elderly but happy mother. At ten o'clock the death-bed scene is presented, where he parts with his beloved mother. At eleven o'clock he is 8 middle-aged man, over whom the snows of many winters have passed. At twelve o'clock hemakes his final appearance as an old and decrepit specimen of humanity praying for better land.

GROWN AWAY.

My little children have grown away, -r. Grown away from the land of play, Grown to be men and women tall, With passions and loves ard hates aud all That comes 10 us when w0 grow aw2y From childish play. My little children that were so dear, How can I help but wish them here With arms round my neck in tho old lovin,
 way have not known for many day, Not slnCc homo was my kingdom, precious anT
 sweet, Filled with the muse of pattcring feet. Those feet that led them away from me Into the world and over the sea, Leaving me here in my lonely room That even in sunshine seems full of gloom, And so very lonely needs must cry For the days gone ty. I thought should be the first to go, And l can not but W sh it might have been so But the Father of love, who dwellS in the
 light,
 Took some ( f my babies out of my sight Took them away to His home of rest, And llnoy: though 1 can nov tell why twas
 lcst. SoI'm trusting our Lord, and can clearly see That in that dear laEd our homo shall be, And though the children havG gone away We shall meet again, oh blessed day, When He will call-to Heaven we come And find once n,orc our happy home.
