find her obese and aged. SO then. putting

voted herself with assiduity to one of the
various Turkish bath systems for putting
aside unwished for pounds. The lady
was persevering and the doctor skillful;
the arrival Of the steamer found her
weighing to an ounce what she had
weighed when her youthful husband
sailed away. She got back her girlish
figure, but she could not present her
handsome face. The fine lines which
scanned it in every direction were a
heavy price to pay in exchange for the
matronly proportions which she feared
her husband would not look with favor
upon. The husband that chance had not

became too oppressive. however. Amid
the vocal beauty of nature. where
everything had voice, from the birds
to the ripping water and the rustling
leaves, the silence of my entertainers
proved too much for my nerves. Turn
wherever might. there were faces that
had expression, but lips that uttered no

hands in the sign language only made
matters worse. Perhaps il / could have

while nameless horror weighs down

Talking over the experience that night
with medical friend he told me that my
case was not an uncommon one. With
people who can speak speech becomes q
positive sensation Many doctors cannot
be got TO assume duties in deaf and dumb
asylums. They claim that the unnatural
stiffness completely upsets nerve. Even
the less imaginative and moro stolid
menial classes are difficult to be got for
service in such establishments. Work
under such unusual conditions wears
them out faster than the serious and
arduous labors of hospitals and insane
asylums, and men and women who will
toll for years amid the most distressing
and depressing surroundings, will, on
this account, reject opportunities for
