Deaf and Dumb Taught to Speak.

Boston physicians and educators
are amazed over the almost miracu-
lous success in teaching little Helen
Keller, the blind, deaf and dumb
girl from Alabama, to speak. The
child is about ten years old and
mentally is wonderfully bright. She
lost these senses when an infant,
and her parents, who are wealthy,
sent her North a year ago to be
trained in one of the institutions
for the blind. The great progress
made by Laura Bridgman encour-
aged them in the hope that their
child might do as we'll. But Helen
has proved quicker and more active
mentally than Laura Bridgman.
The first year she acquired vocab-
ulary of 5000 words and was ca ger
to learn more, even questioning her
friends in her own language.
Miss Fuller of the Horace Mann
School began some months ago to
teach her to articulate, the child
having previouly learned that peo-
pie spoke and that there was no
physical reason why she could not.
Miss Fuller gave her instructions
as to how to place her tongue and
the child would feel of her teachers
throat and lips when she was talk
ing, thus learning the mechanical
elements of articulation. The child
now talks quite readily. Her voice,
at first very disagreeable, has now
become not unpleasant, being only
slightly gutteral and asperated.
She has acquired the use of accent,
and, with her private teacher as in
terpreter, can carry on quite con-
versation with her friends.

Quay Got Left.

At Cleveland. says New York
Sun correspondent, they put two
cars filled with Polish immigrants
on the rear of our train, as they had
through some accident been belated,
and we sped away for Toledo. AT
about 9 o'clock at night a man came
into our car, in which Senator Quay
had berth, and said:
'Ladies and gentlemen, child
has been born in one of the immj-
grant cars. It's boy. Although
we are in Ohio, I'm a Pennsylvania
an myself, and as Senator Quay is
also on the train it is proposed to
name that boy Quay Langkowaki.
1t has been proposed that we all
chip in and raise purse for the
boy"
We clipped. Quay saw our whole
pile and raised it by $5, saying that
he should be proud of the honor,
and the man passed into the next
car. An hour later we learned that
no child had been born and that
the fellow had raised $75 and drop
ped off at some station

Editorial Farming.

The editor of the Walla Walla
Journal has been trying farming,
and it must be that he did not sue
ceed, judging by the following:
The basest fraud on earth is ag-
riculture. The deadliest ignis fatus
that ever glittered to beguile and
dazzle to betray is agriculture. We
speak with feeling on this subject,
and we've been glittered and be-
guiled and dazzled and deceived by
the same arch deceiver. She had
promised US bees and they flew away
after putting head on US; prom.
ised US early potatoes, and the
drouth has withered them. She has
promised cherries, the curculio has
stung them; they contain living
things uncomely to the eye and un.

A Word to GrumDlerS.

Everything goes wrong with some
because they make it. They never
have any pleasure, because they
never get ready to enjoy it. Every.
thing is out of humor, and so are
the people. Something is wrong all
the time, and the, wrong is with
them. Their lots are harder than
falls to other mortals; their home
is the worst of anybody's; they
have more trouble than anybody
else; they are never so happy as
when they grumble; and if every
thing worked to their satisfaction
they would still grumble because
there was nothing for them to grum-
BILE about. The grumbler is vio-
later of Gods law and a sinner
against the peace and harmony of
society.
While we are perfectly willing
the grumbler should 60 to heaven
at death, everybody is glad to get
rid of him on earth. Don't torment
yourselves with borrowed troubles.
Don't wait for happiness. Go to
work and make it. Adopt the true
philosophy of life. Take things as
they come. If there is no bright
side brush up one of the dark ones.
Don't hang down your heads or
lips. Nothing is so bad but what
it might have been worse" 1t is
a long lane that has no turning" +"
'''Tis always morning somewhere
in the world" every cloud has a
silver lining" "The darkest of the
night is that which precedes day."
Form the habit of thinking how
much there is to cheer you, even
when there may be much to depress.
Cultivate what is warm and genial,
not the repulsive, the sullen and
the remorse. Smile, and all nature
will smile with you; the air will
seem more balmy, the sky clearer,
the grass will have brighter green,
the trees richer foliage, the flow
ers more fragrant smell, the birds
will sing more sweetly, and the sun,
moon and stars will appear more
beautiful.-Ashland, KY, News.

JUSTICE IN new MEXICO.
One Occasion on Which It Was
Promptly Administered.

There is quiet, pleasant-looking
man at the Richelieu who expert
enced more than his share of the
"rowdy West" during the early days.
He is Judge C. D. Favor of Albu
querque, n. M. He left the East
and went to Albuquerque when the
citizens used to have progressive
shooting parties, with a lynching
for a special attraction. At that
time no one who had slain less than
two or three men could hold any
position of trust.
"The wild and woolly days have
passed away" said Judge Favor one
day, "and Albuquerque is quite
modern town. A few years ago the
society leaders began to cut the ac-
quaintance of horse thieves, and
since then we have got along swim
mingly. When first went on the
bench down there we had plenty of
law but no justice. You could buy
a Jury for 500 and gallon of whis-
ky, and it was mighty difficult to
convict bad man. Ill never for
get the first case | heard. One of
the worst sou.,. ,.,cccs+ern desperadoes
was being tried before me for kiiifii.-
ing a man. The prisoner had stolen
whole herds of horses and murdered
more than one man, but the pros
ecution could not get any evidence.
1t looked at one time as if the man
would 60 free, but Providence made
other arrangements.
"After a four-days' hearing the
jury went out and brought in a ver-
dict of not guilty. l learned their
decision before it was given to me
officially, and l also learned that
four of the jurors had been fixed
was about to discharge the jury
when we were disturbed by a violent
storm. A stroke of lightning knock
ed the shingles from the courthouse
and the rain poured into the room.
/ had just said something about
justice when the lightning began to
fool around. Suddenly a flash
came down the chimney, skated up
to the accused, left him a corpse
and then went away through crack
in the floor. It must have gone
through crack, for it left no marks
in the room except the dead man.

years, yet that was the first time |
had ever seen justice meted out in
an Albuquerque courtroom.-Chi-

Finally Recognized.

This bit of Missouri history is
taken from Henry Georges Stand
ard. The writer doesn't sign his
name:
Stilson Hutchins is we'll known
newspaper man of Washington. He
used to live in Missouri and at one
time represented his district in the
Legislature, of which body he was
elected the Speaker. There was in
the same Legislature member
from another district-a man whom
Hutchins had conceived a preju-
dice against. This man wanted to
bring up bill in the interest of his
constituency, but he never seemed
to be able to catch the Speakers
eye. Day after day he would wait
until routine matters had been
cleared away, when he would rise
In IL his place, and, in the peculiar
Missouri nigh treble, address the
presiding officer, but without recelv-
ing that recognition without which
no member of parliamentary body
can proceed. The member finally
became tired of such treatment,
and one morning after the House
had been called to order he march
ed in with rifle on his shoulder,
which, when he reached his seat,
he leaned up against his desk. He
sat there quietly until he thought
the routine business was about all
disposed of, when he slowly picked
up his rifle and cooked it. When
the last motion had been put and
disposed of our friend arose, placed
his rifle against his shoulder, drew
bead on Speaker Hutchins and
drawled out: "Mr. Speaker" There
was silence as of death in the
Assembly chamber for a few mo-
ments, which was finally broken by
the Speaker himself, who slowly
and distinctly said: "The gentle
man from has the tloor.' Tbs
member lowered his rifle, unlocked
it, and then, as if nothing had hap
pened, proceeded to lay his bill be,
fore the legislators.

were regarded somewhat as para
sites, whose departure would be
more welcome than their vicinity.
When honey and game, meat, peltry
and feathers get low or scarce in
the neighborhood, the pygmies pack
their household goods on their
women's backs and depart else
where to attach themselves to some
other plantations. A forrest village
consists of from twenty to one hum
dred families of pygmies, and prob
ably in that area between the lhuru
and Ituri rivers there are as many
as 1000 families living this nomadic
and free life in the perpetual twl-
light of the great and umbrageous
forest of Equatorial Africa.-From

Geographical Society, May 3.

A Wonderful Lake.

Twenty-Five years ago French
man crossed the Continent with a
large flock of sheep. He lost great
numbers while moving through the
arid region, and when he arrived in
Washington the sheep that still
lived were covered with various
skin diseases, says Seattle cores
pondent to the New I OK Star. One
evening, as he was preparing for an
encampment, he got a glimpse,
through the woods, of a beautiful
lake, and he FASTENED forward to
it's shores. The sheep rushed into
the water and began to drink copi-
ously. He was still more aston
ished when he tasted the water and
found it bitter and disagreeable, as
we'll as dissimilar to anything he
had ever tasted. Fearing the sheep
would be poisoned he drove them
out of the water, but in spite of his
efforts they returned again.
The sheep were in such a condi-
ton from disease that he had small
hope of their recovery, so he ended
by allowing them to drink what he
believed to be the poisonous waters
as plentifully as they would. Next
day he could not drive the sheep
away from the vicinity of the lake,
and in few days more he was ut
terly astonished to find that his
sheep were restored to wonder
fully healthy condition. Thereupon
the Frenchman thought he had
roamed far enough, and he fixed
himself a homestead beside the
shores of the lake. For long his
home by the lake was solitude,
but the shores of the lake to-day are
the scenes of busy and thriving in
dustry. On the Frenchman's ranch
the town of Middlebaugh is build
ing up, and this pioneer Frenchman
still lives and rejoices that he was
the first discoverer of these wonder
full waters which the world will
hereafter know as Medical Lake.
The lake covers rather more than
/ 900 acres and in places is 1000
fathoms deep. Its source is the
surrounding hills and mountains
and periodically it falls and rises.
1t is surrounded on every side by
low wooded hills, and forms beau
tiful and picturesque dark sheet OF
water, embosomed in rolling wood
lands. The waters cleanse and feel
like water with a solution of soap.
They taste disagreeable and nau-
seOus.

Evils of Tight Lacing.

"Itake it for granted, Miss Laura, :"
said young DR.. Smidgley, "that you
condemn, as all sensible young
women do, the unwholesome and
barbarous practice Of tight lacing."
"Well, Mr.. Smidgley," returned
Miss Laura, with wistful, yearn-
ing look in her glorious dark eye,
Il think a compression of the
waist, to a reasonable extent, is not
only harmless, but at times posi-
lively exhilarating."
And that dense, stupid, wooden
headed youth sat there for an hour
and argued with the young lady on
the evils Of tight lacing.-Medical
Journal.

Tight Collars.

The influence of wearing tight
collars in impeding the circulation
in the head by pressing on the Jug
ular veins is well known to military
surgeons with the troops in India;
but the bad effects of such pressure
in cooler climates have been DEM
onstrated by the observations of
Prof. Foster of Breseau, who states
that 800 cases have come under his
notice in which the eyesight has
been affected by the disturbance OF
the circulation caused by wearing
collars that were too small.

A contemporary says that the
costliest horse barn in the world
belongs to d. Z. Grouse and is To-
Gated at Syracuse, N. Y. 1t has
now cost the owner something like
100000. Incidental expenses will
make the stable cost little short of
a round million. Rockefeller, the
Standard oil king, is about COM
pleting a 100000 mansion at
Tarrytown. The estate comprises
1000 acres, and 100000 house
was torn down to furnish founda-
ton for the new stable.

The Good Old Days OF Dueling.

The study of dueling in France
is very curious. Henry " encour-
aged dueling, much as Louis XIV
tried to discourage it. During Hen
ry's reign more than four thousand
gentlemen fell in duel, for in those
days seconds were apt to fight at
the same time as principals. Then
the duel continued until one adver-
sary, as least, was dead and the
murderer always retained bis place
and prestige in the social world.
Louis XIV was in the habit OF
launching edicts against duelists,
but his edicts never made the slight
est impression. LIE Grand Mon
araue was rather inoonsistant, for,
while issuing edicts, he wished it
distinctly understood that all army
officers must settle their quarrels
according to the rules of honor or
lose their rank. Louis Philippe
tried to enforce law against duel
ing, and his law is the one sup
