Words to deaf mute child mean
nothing. He has never heard them,
and he must learn to read before he
knows their significance. Even then
his education is necessarily long and
requires infinite patience to impart.
Signs are to the deaf mute what sounds
are to those who hear. BY them the
child learns to express his thoughts in
gestures. The sigr for love (pressing
the heart. kissing the fingers with the
right handy, means more to him than
can be expressed in page of words. It
means, gratitude, goodness, welcome,
and score of other words. This one
sign we may call the verb of SEN
tence. The adjectiyes and qualifying
phrases are expressed by the counten-
ance and manner in which the sign Is
made.
BY the sign language deaf mute,
who may have no knowledge Of English
~ it Is written and spoken. can express
himself nuently. with dignity and even
with true eloquence. His thought un-
trameled BY words and sentences ind
utterance in his signs.

. MAN. 9. FATHER.

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 H. 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 ply
stefan. She was two years old at
that time and could neither hear nor
speak. Several wealthy gentlemen
agree to pay my fathers expenses If he
would 60 abroad and learn the different
methods of educating deaf mutes with
a view of founding a school for these
unfortunates in Hartford. One year
later my father was in France. He had
already spent some time in Great Brit
ain examining the systems in vogue
there. When he saw the beauty OF the
French sign language. he decided to
adopt that plan in his work. He de-
voted six months to hard study in the
school founded by Able de LEpee and
then conducted by his successor, Able
Sicard, and when he started for Amer
lea, he brought back with him M. Law
rent Clerc. deaf mute who ad wonder
full skill in the sign language. He was my
fathers first assis uant in the school VIII ich
he founded in Hartford in 1917. 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 Sophia Fowler, young
deaf mute OF Guilford, Conn, became
pupil. Aftcr she had been in Hartford
four years my father married her. She
had eight children. 1 am the eldest,
and my brother, DR.. Edward M. Gal
laudet president of the National Col
lege for Deaf Mutes in Washington. is
the youngest. None Of my brothers or
sisters are deaf or dumb

dent is described in the sign language
In the following manner: The sign to
the man who delivers the blow; the
sign for striking; the sign for falling
and the sign for the object OF the at
tack.
The opening sentence in the Episco-
pal Church service is The Lord is in
His holy temple, let all the earth keep
silence before Him."
This is the way l sign it to my deaf
congregation:
First, the sign for name of the Lord,
which is drawing the right hand across
the breast diagonally from left to right.
This is the original sign for king. -
but we use it for the name of the Lord
by making with the fingers of the right
hand the initial L.
Next. make the sign of temple
This is done by initiating with both
hands the building up of wall.
Third, the sign for holy" which is
bowling the head reverently and rub
bling the palms of both hands together
Fourth, the sign for His" touching
the forehead, with the right hand as if
lifting hat by the brim.
Fifth. the sign for in"
Sixth. the sign for let
Seventh, the sign for ''men and
women"
Eighth, the sign for silence, which is
touching the lips with the finger Of the
right hand and bowling the head.
The sentence then reads in signs
Lord, Temple, His, in, Let mon and
women, silence"
To my congregation this is as plain
as spoken words are to those who hear.

Direct TaxBill,

The United States Senate has passed the
direct tax bill which has been the subject of
such widespread discussion during the past
few years. The bill provides for the repay
ment of over s16, 100000 collected from the
States in 1868, of which about 81, 200 900 goes
to Ohio. The bill has passed the Senate
twice and when it got through the House by
the aid of liberal lobby during the closing
hours of the last Congress, President Ceve-
land blocked its enactment into law by an
emphatic veto in which he pointed out that it
was entirely without constitutional war
rant, and was one of the many schemes de-
vised by designing persons to deplete con-
gested treasury. A great effort will be made
to drive the bill through the House, and if
successful its promoters have:. assurances
that il will receive the Presidents approval.

A SorrowfuI Accid ent.

One of the many distressing accidents
which have visited this country during the
past few months occurred in Washington on
the morning of Monday last. The burning of
the magnificent residence of Hon. Benz.
Tracy, Secretary of the Navy, which resulted
in the death of at least two of his immediate
family. Mrs. Tracy jumped from window
and was killed, daughter was burned to
death, and another was badly injured, to-
gether with her little l3 year old girl, and
the Secretary himself was dragged from the
burning house just in time to same his life.
A servant girl was also burned to death. Such
calamity seems almost impossible in a city,
and at Z o'clock in the morning, but death
stalks around in a mysterious way and no
one knoweth when or in what way he will
appear. The sympathy of the whole people
is with Mr.. Tracy in his terrible afliction.
