WOOL PROTECTION.
THE TEXAN WOOL GROWERS WANT
TO HAVE EvAsIONs STOPPED,
\ Tacoma Newspaper Office Burned
Down-The Democrats Prepar-
= ing to Oppose the Senate
Tariff Bill.

ST. Louis, Dec. 31.-The wool growers
OF Mmble, Menard, Sutton and Schleich-
er counties, Texas, have adopted resolu-
lions urging congress to amend the pres
ent tariff now so as to prevent the impor-
tation of foreign wool under the names
OF ring waste, thread waste and yarn
waste now used to evade the tariff. In
view of the fact that all the Texas dele
gates in congress are opposed to the pres
ent tariff system and favor the free wool,
they request s. j. Randall of Pennsyl-
vania and VIM. Mckinley of Ohio to rep
resent the Texas wool growing interests
when a revision of the tariff comes up in
the house.

EXECUTION OF PRADo.
How the French Murderer Was Led to
the Guillotine, +

How the French Murderer Was Led to
the Guillotine
| PARIS, Dec. 28-Prado, the murderer
| of Marie Aguetant, his mistress, was
guillotined this morning. He preserved
a firm demeanor to the last, refusing to
confess and declined the services of a
| chaplain. An immense crowd collected
outside the prison last night and remain
ed until Prado had been executed. The
rabble spent the time in singing comic
songs and amusing themselves in other
boisterous ways. Prado slept well until
o'clock and protested his innocence of
the murder of Marie Aguetant to tile last,
and declared against the injustice of this
world. He refused to disclose his real
name. When the jailor came to pinion
his limbs he offered no resistance and
while they were engaged IN this operation
he shed one tear. The execution was
witnessed by 200 artists, newspaper men,
actors, lawyers and politicians, who pos
sessed influence to obtain admission with
in the sentry lines. In fifty seconds from
Prado's appearance at the prison gate his
bleeding head lay in a basket. Prado, in
walking from the prison to the guillotine,
showed no sign Of fear. His arms were
tightly pinioned behind his back and his
heavy locks seen to such advantage in
the court room, were gone. In front of
the guillotine board stood upright to the
height of five feet and as Prado neared
the board most dreadful series Of Incl
dents followed each other with the
rapidity of lightning. The trem-
bling able stepped apart and four
burly men dressed in blouses of blue,
who had not been seen before, sprang
forward, seized the condemned man and
hurled him onward against the upright
board and then flung themselves upon
him and by their weight bore the strug
Cling victim, face downward, to the plat
form. The board worked on swivel and
ran on rollers and in an instant it had
been wheeled forward until the prisoners
neck was under the glistening knife. The
knife was sprung and the keen steel
struck the neck as it might have colllded
with a rubber car spring. It went
through and the head of Prado lay
among the shavings beyond.

Deaf M ute Education.
Youths Companion.

A modern theory, through which the condition of deaf f-mutes has been wonderfully changed, acts upon the supposition that such afflicted persons arc 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 cannot be initiated. Science, however. has at last succeeded in remedying serious difficulty. Speech is accomplished both by the motion of lips and the vibration Of the throat. Sight will give us intelligence in regard to the first, and touch should supply knowledge of the second.
 In beginning to teach deaf-mutes the art of speech, they are first placed before a mirror, and taught to form with their lips the different vowe. sounds used in speaking. But this is not all. Sounds are produced not only by the lips, but by the larynx, the vibration of which Is strongest in the region known as "Adams apple" The pupil places his finger upon his masters throat while that vibration Is going on and then, touching his own, strives to initiate it. Then, when he is in possession of these elements of speech, he has only to combine them in order to produce syllables, words and phrases.
 The course of instruction is not, however, a very rapid one, since series of exercises known as the preparatory period has first to be accomplished. It is interesting fact that, before learning to speak, the lungs arynx, tongue, lips and eyes have to be exercised to be In state of readiness to operate.
 Each inspiration draws into the lungs an aver age of thirty cubic inches of air, but in speaking ct least one hundred and twenty cubic inches are used. The deaf-mute must, of course, be taught
