During the earlier days of b. Shepard Whites
career in Washington, probably before he began
to lead the merry life of society pet, he grew
tired of his position tile seller and took the
civil service examination for the position of
copyist. This was in August, 1888. His quail
tications for copying were evidently not as we'll
developed then as they became later, and, while
eligible, his mark was so low as to make him re-
linquish expectations at that time of becoming
a servant of the Government.

The Wedding Ring.

The transition of the custom of using
a ring at marriages from barbariSm and
paganism into ire Christian Church was
quite as easy as the adoption of the
forms of pagan worship. Ii was proba-
bly, taken from the pagans of Italy as a
part of the marriage ceremony. When
the public bctrothal finally became near
ly obsolete, its evidence became the en-
gagement ring, now used universally,
while the use Of ring at weddings is
now peculiar to certain church organ
izations.
The position of the ring on the hand
has long been a matter of difference. In
early timees, by classical ancientS, the
betrothal ring was placed on the left
hand. and on the finger next the least.
under the impression that that particu-
lar finger was more closely connected
with the heart than the others. In early
English marriages the salisbury Man
ual" provided that the bridegroom was
to receive the ring from the priest with
the three principal fingers of his right
hand; then, holding the right hand Of
the bride with his own left hand, he was
to say, "With this ring ! thee wed. -
He then placed the ring on her right
thumb and said: In the name OF the
Father" then on the second finger and
said, land Son." then on the third fin
ger and said, land Holy Ghost and fl
nally on the fourth finger and said.
"Amcn." where it remained. Wearing
the wedding ring on the thumb was not
uncommon during the reign of the first
and second Georges. in which position it
is seen in contemporary portraits.
In the English church the use of a
ring at a wedding ceremony is essential,
it being required by the rubric. The
kind, size or quality of the ring is not
stipulated, and there are on record mar
riagcS in England in which bed curtain
rings, church keys and even ring cut
transycrscly from finger of a kid glove
have been used. So far as our inveSti-
CATION has entered into these curious
but interesting facts we do not remem-
Der to have seen any case in which the
ring Of church bell was used.

COPYRIGHT 1890.

The founding of the first school for
deaf mutes in France, and one of the
first in the world, was the result OF an
accident. The story is as follows: The
good Able de L'Epee, who lived in
Paris in the eighteenth century, called
one day upon one of his parishioners.
The lady kept him waiting for few
minutes in her drawing room. AT the
further end of the apartment the Able
noticed two young ladies who were APP
parently greatly engroSsed in some fancy
work.
He spoke to them, and. TO his sur
prise, received no reply. When his par
iShioner appeared he asked who the
young ladies were. She said that they
were her daughters. Thereupon he
mildly reproached her for their rude
ness in not answering his greeting.
Then the mother, with tears in hereyeS,
told him that they were deaf and dumb,
and beyond such few accomplishments
as they had acquired, were totally ig-
norant of everything regarding the
world. They could neither read nor
write.
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1890-03-23

This simple incident changed the
whole life of the good Able. 1t did
more. 1t gave to the world the sign
/ language by which the deaf mute OF one
nationality may express their thought
to their afflicted brethren of another
race.
An accident not altogether unlike
| this led to the founding of the first deaf
muteS' school in America. and the
! transplanting of this sign language in
our own soil. In 1915, my father, the
Rev. Thomas II. Gallaudet, who was a
young Congregational clergyman in
| Hartford. Ct, became interested in the
sad case of Alice Cogswell, the in
FAINT daughter Of a wealthy physician.
She was two years old at that time and
could neither hear nor speak. Several
wealthy gentlemen agreed to pay my
fathers expenses if he would 60 abroad
and learn the different methods Of edu-
eating deaf muteS with view Of found
ing a school for these unfortunateS in
| Hartford, One year later my father
was i'm France. He had already spent
some time in Great Britain examining
the systems in vogue there. When he

that plan in his work. He devoted
six months to hard study in the
school founded by Able de L'Epee and
then conducted by his successor, Able
Sicard, and when he started for Amer
lea, he brought back with him NJ. Law
rent Clerc, deaf mute, who had Won
derful skill in the sign language. He
was my fathers first assistant in the
school which he founded in Hartford in
1877. During their long sea voyage my
father taught his companion English
and perfected his own education in the
sign language.
a few years after the school was
started Miss Sopia Fowler, a young deaf
mute of Guilford Conn, became pupil.
After she had been in Hartford four
years my father married her. She had
eight children. | am the eldest, and

Words To deaf mute child mean moth

must learn to read before he knows
their significance. Even then his edu-
cation is necessarily long and requires
infinite patience TO impart. Signs are

lures. The sign for love (presSing the

expressed in page Of words. ltmeans
gratitude. goodness, welcome, and a
score of other words. This one sign we
may call the verb of a sentence. The
adicctyes and qualifying phrases are
expressed by the countenance and man
ner in which the sign is made.
BY the sign language a deaf mute,
who may have no knowledge of English
as it is written and spoken, can express
himself nuently, with dignity and even
true eloquence. His thought, untram-
eled by words and sentences find utter
ance in his signs.
If You were to visit the Deaf and
Dumb Institute you would learn how
very different the sign is from the
manual or labial languages. One Of the
DAVIS drills of the more advanced
Dupils is to translate Il story
or an exercise from the sign
10 the written language For
instance one boy translates the account
of one man knocking another man down
As follows: He struck fell down him.
He has the idea perfectly. and he has
translated the signs literally and in
their order The incident is described
in the sign language in the following
manner: The sign to the man who de-
livers the blow; the sign for striking;
the sign for falling and the sign for the
object of the attack.
