oEAF.murs EDUCATION.


Sho Modsrn System OF Teaching Xhe
SpeeclilesS tho Art OF Speaking.
A modern theory. through which
Che condition Of deai.mutes has been
wonderfully changed, acts upon the
0upPositiOn that such afflicted persons
are mute only because they are DEAF
There Is no defect in the vocal organs,
but the fact that no sounds can be
heard led to the suppositIon that they
can not be initiated. Science, how
ever, has at last succeeded In remedying
sc serious a difficulty. Speech is ac-
Somprished both by the motion Of the
lips and vibration of the throat.
Sight will give us Intelligence in re-
gard to the hrst, and touch should
supply knowledge of the second.
In beginning to teach deaf-mutes
che art Of speech, they are first placed
before a mirror, and taught to form
with their lips the different vowel
sounds used in speaking. But this is
not all Sounds are produced not
only by the lips. but by the la ynx,
the vibration of which is strongest in
the region known as the "Adarn's
apple" The pupil places his finger
upon his masters throat while that
vibration is going on, and then, touch
Ing his own, strives to initiate It.
Then, when he is in possession Of
these elements OF speech, he has only
70 combine them in order to produce
syllables, words and phrases.
The course OF instruction is not
however, a very rapid one, since q
series of exercises known as the pre-
paratory period has fret TO, be ac-
Oomplished. 1t is an interesting fact
Shat before learning to speak. the
lungs, larynx, tongue, lips and eyes
have to be SO exercised as to be in q
state of readiness to operate.
Each inspiration draw into the lungs
an average OF thirty cubic inches of
air, but In speaking, at least one hun
dred and twenty cubic inches are used.
The ueaf-mute must, of course, be
taught TO inhale a sufficient quantity
OF air, and to regulate respiration,
otherwise his air supply would fail,
and his speech become jerky and disa-
greeable-

preliminary exercise, the spoken word
might be feeble or discordant, while
the tongue, unaccustomed to any work
but that of managing the food, must

ferent set of motiona
The lips of deaf-mutes are always
far less supple than those of persons
normally developed, and consequently
require systematic exercise The eyes
do not need to be taught keenness, as
they have always been on the watch
TO supply information usually furnished
by hearing; but they are taught to at
tain greater power Of fixedness that
the attention may be concentrated
without diversion upon the lips OF any
person speaking.
It has been observed that the sense oil

than In other children and this, also

EVERYTHING WRONG END FIRST.
Curious Chinese Practices That Are Just the
Opposite of Oar Own.

Curious Chinese Practices That Are just the
Opposite of Our Own.
An old writer in speaking of China says
that it is a country "Where roses have no
scent and the women no petticoats; where
the laborer has no Sabbath day of rest and
the magistrate no sense of honor; where the
roads have no carriages and the ships no
keels; where the needle of the compass
points to the south and the place Of honor is
on the left-hand side and the seat of intel
lect is supposed to lie in the stomach; where
it is rude to take off your hat and to wear
white clothes is to 60 into mourning"
With all the peculiarities mentioned one
does not feel surprised at finding litera-
ture without an alphabet a language with
out grammar. In China they mount a
horse upon the right side instead Of the left;
the old men play marbles and fly kites,
while the children look grayely on; they
shake hands with themselves instead of
with each other, and what we call the sur
name is written first, and the other name
afterward; they whiten their shoes instead
of blacking them; a coffin is considered a
very acceptable present to a parent in good
health; in the north they sail and pull their
wheelbarrows instead of pushing them, and
all Chinese candlesticks are made to fit into
the candle instead of the candle fitting into
the stick. Last, but not least, it is nothing
uncommon for man to court two or more
Young women at the same time.

under his chin, armed with a rolling pin
and shielding himself from attack by means
of bright, tin dish pan, he would burst
forth, and after Shakesperean howl of
welcome, he would suddenly cast away his
armor and execute a breakdown on the
green.
1t would seem from this that actors are
not only susceptible to enjoyment of a
harmless nature, but that they actually have
affection for each other sometimes which
would do credit to the higher order of human
beings.
At one time Robson was playing the Grave
Digger and Mr.. Forrest Hamlet. When
they came to the burial, he noticed that the
priest spoke rather thickly and his feet
were balanced doubtfully on the edge of the
grave. He seemed to be little mixed as
to whether it was Ophelid's grave or a
drunkard's grave. If it were the latter, he
seemed to have serious notions of filling it
himself
Mr.. Forrest noticed it. As we'll as can
recall the words, they were about as follows:

POLLY AND THE HEN.
How the Parrot Made an Escape From nm
Angry Chicken.

How the Parrot Made nn Escape From nm
Angry Chicken.
Youths Companion,
Our next neighbor-writes correspondent
owned an amusing parrot which was always
getting into mischief but usually got out
again without much trouble to herself
When she had done anything for which she
knew she ought to be punished, she would
hold her head to one side, and eyeing her
mistress, protest in sing-song tone, 'Polly
is good GIRL" until she saw her mistress
smile; then she would flap her wings and
cry out in exultation, "Hurrahl Polly is
good grip
She was allowed to 60 free, and usually
took her exercise in the garden, where she
promenaded back and forth on the walks,
Summing herself, and warning off all intru-
ders.
One morning hen strayed out of the
chicken yard, and was quietly picking up
its breakfast, when Poll marched up to her,
and called out "Shool" in her shri1l voice,
emphasizing the command with smart
pick of her sharp beak on the chickens
head. The poor hen retreated to her own
quarters, running as fast as she could, fol-
lowed by Poll, who screamed "ShooP' at
efeIg Stcps
The hen had her revenge few days later,
when Poll extended her morning walk into
the chicken-yard. Here, with her usual
curiosity, she went peering into every cor
ner, till she came to the old hen upon her
nest The hen made dive for Polls yellow
head. but missed it. Poll, thinking discre-
ton the better part of valor, turned to run,
the hen, with her wings widespread, follow
ing close after.
As she ran, Poll screamed in her shrillest
tones, so Lordl o LordI'
A member of the family who had wit
messed the whole performance, thought it
time to interfere in POLLS behalf, as the
angry hen was gaining on her. He ran out,
and stopping down held out his hand. Poll
lost no time in travelling up to his shoulder.
Then, from her high vantage-ground, she
turned her head to one side, and looking
down on her foe, screamed. Hello, therel
shool'
The frightened hen acknowledged defeat
by returning to her nest as rapidly as she
had come.

A LUCKY THIRTEEN.

A Bakers Dozen of Children in One Family
Live to be Old.
Chicago Tribune.J
There are three old gentlemen visiting
Chicago who are quite remarkable in way.
They are remarkable because Of the family
of which they are members. This family
has made a record for longevity that has GER
tainly seldom had a parallel. These old
gentlemen-their names are james, William
and David Swett-are three of a family of
thirteen, all sons and daughters Of Benjamin
SWEET and his wife. This good couple came
from Wellfeet, Cape Cod, emlgrating to
Hampden, Me-, in 1890. There were 13
children born within period of 10 years.
Ten of these children" are now alive, their
ages ranging from 81 to II years. The
second oldest is Mrs. Emily 81. Mayo of
this city.
In 1872 this family of 13 sat down to din
ner together in the old house where all OF
them were born. Exactly one year to an
hour from the date of that dinner at which
13 covers were laid they were called to the
funeral of one of the brothers, who died at
the age of SO wears. The other two deaths
which have taken place were those of sister

record?" was asked of the brothers yester-
day.
80, there has been no mysterious elixir of
life, they said. "Just plain, old fashioned
ways of living. We have lived quiet
lives, nearly all staying near the old home
stead"
"Have you followed any special rules
to which YOU can attribute your perfect
health?"
"There has been but one of the 13 who
knew the taste of rum or tobacco"
81 followed the sea for 80 years." said
David, "but even then I never learned how
to smoke.
81 took pledge the day I was q" said
James. "That was just 60 years ago. I
haven't tasted drop of liquor since that
time"
care you ever sick?"
"Never. L haven't taken any medicine
stronger than the juice of lemon since I
can remember"
''How were your family divided on poll
tics?''
"Twelve Republicans and one Demo-
crat''
The visitors are surprised and delighted
with Chicago. Great as they had expected
to find the, city, they say, they were still
unprepared for what they have seen.
"Of course you are all in favor of Chicago
for the Worlds Exposition?" was asked.
"We surely will say nothing else while
we are here" was the discreet reply.

story OF the young girl who lies entom bed
beneath the glistening pile. From her story
is gathered that the maiden was the comeli-
est lassie along the banks, and that she had
lover of wild and rowing disposition
whom she loved with the utmost devotion,
and who loved her as truly in return. But
her parents were unwilling for them to
marry unless he would give up his
rowing Life. So he promised her
after one more voyage to
quit going to sea and do as her parents
wished. With trembling heart she bade
him god speed as his ship sailed away over
the treacherous deep. Much bad weather
prevailed after his departure, and the vessel
was some weeks longer returning than its
allotted time. The agonized maiden watched
every passing sail until the long DELAYED
one hove in sight. She rushed to the pier
to meet her lover, and the sad news that he
had been lost in storm at sea was told her
as gently as possible. The shock was so
great that she sank to the ground, and
when lifted therefrom life was extinct. She
was buried in the old graveyard, and ON
every anniversary of her death her COM
panions, in sad procession, go along the
seashore gathering the prettiest shells,
which they strew over her grave.
LOVE, STRONGER THAN LIFE.
Turning away as the narrator finished her
story. the thought presented itself that in
all the annals or the rich and great, no in-
stance of undefled true love could be found
to exceed in tragic sincerity that of the
faithful maiden reared among the simple
and unlettered denizens of the banks:
"Ohi ship. with the dripping sail,
From across the foamng sea,
What news of a wanderer
Do thy wet wings bring to mef
Has he sent true love to his dear,
Or perchance he's now with thee,
Oh! ship with the dripping sail?"
"Oh! ship with the dripping sail,
Are those drops the salt seas tearsi
A symbol are they of woe?
Oh! how they wake my fears;
And thy broken spars? know
There's lack of news that cheers
Obi ship with the dripping sail"
"Ohl maiden"-the good ship said
"'Tis true when 1 left yon shore
Thy lover was then with me,
And vowed he would rove no more
Over land nor yet over sea,
But would live for his sweet Lenore."
"Oh! ship, tell me not he's deadp'
HE was brave thro' the storm kings
reign,
Tho my gaffs and booms were gone
And my decks oft swept again,
He was firm, but just at dawn
BY falling spar was slain."
"Oh! shipp'-and the maid was dead.
W. Gotten Downing.
