Generous "Drummers."

The Commercial Travellers association
of New England has determined to erect
monument for itself. This association
is composed of 5000 of the smartest and
most wide awake men of the land. They
are as rule men Of intelligence and
good standing, or they could not retain
the positions which they hold and COM
mand the high salaries which they re-
ceive. The association has decided to
erect an industrial and educational
building at Good Will Homes and dedi-
cate it to the work of saving boys. This
is, as all will admit, most praiseworthy
enterprise and one that will commend
itself to all classes.
The homes now shelter nearly fifty
boys, who need workroom and a
schoolroom badly. Many of the lads
there have mechanical tastes which
should receive encouragement and train
ing. The farm work is not adapted to
all, but with the new building and tools
and machinery which will be added to
it the homes will have taken a long
stride toward the successful accomplish
ment of its aim.-Fairfeld (Me.) Enter

Unsafe Money to Carry.

My father was once with his ship at
Rangoon. One day during u heavy
thunderstorm he was driving in cab to
his agents, when he saw a "coolie"
porter drop down in the street. He got
out of the cab at once and went to the
man, but he was dead. There was a
burned patch in his waistcloth, on the
right side, and some blackened copper
"pice" lay on the ground. The man had
just received them for carrying load,
and, as the clothes of the poorer natives
Of India and Burnah have no pockets,
he had twisted them into his waistcloth,
and this money must have attracted the
lightning, But the most curious part of
it was that the queens head on one of
the coins was clearly impressed on his
side, and even the words "Queen Vic
toria" were clearly defined. -London Tit

How the Starfish Eats the Oyster.

The starish is curious animal. Its
mouth is directly in the center, and al
most Immediately under it is the stom-
ach, while the digestive organs are in its
arms. Starfsh eat oysters, but natural
lists differ as to the precise way in which
they devour them. Ancient naturalists
believed that the starfish waited for a
moment when the oyster opened its
valves to introduce one of its rays into
the opening, and having put one foot
into the domicile it soon put the other
four in and finished up by devouring
the native. Modern observations have
proved that this is not quite correct.
Some. naturalists assert that, on OBJ
tanning possession of the oyster, the star
fish brings his mouth to the edge Of the
shell and then with the assistance of a
fluid which it's mouth secretes it forces
open the valves and the entrance is OBJ
tanned. Another naturalist gives diff
ferent explanation of the transaction,
namely, that the oyster is seized by the
starfish and held tight by its mouth;
the starfsh then everts its stomach and
envelops the oyster, which forces it to
open its shell. However this may be, it
Is clear that the starfsh swallows oys.

ings.-London Tit-Bits.

Before Leo rning a Language.

Some students begin language for
the mere love of knowing foreign
tongues; others acquire them either for
professional purposes or with the aim of
gaining access to foreign literatures.
But whatever be the motive it is well to
set out with some knowledge of the
science of language-some insight into
the relations of languages to each other
some grasp Of the theories Of modern
scholars about the origin and develop
ment of speech. To learn language
without knowing anything of the science
of language is like acquiring the art of
putting up electric fixtures without any
knowledge of the principles of electrical
science.
To approach it, on the other hand,
from the standpoint of universal prin-
ciples is to make the study of it easier
and progress in any particular tongue
much more rapid. BY knowing, for ex-
ample, the laws of consonantal inter-
change, we may often discover the
meaning of words without being obliged
to refer for them to the dictionary. In
this way every new language learned
makes more easy the requirement of
other tongues of the same or of allied
stocks. Boston Herald.

To Have New EYellds.

Harvey Chaffee, of East Valley, well
known oil contractor, who was badly
burned by natural gas explosion on the
7th of May, is in the city for the purpose
of having the skin grating process tried
on him. Mr. Chaffee was very severely
roasted. The skin was burned off his
face and neck, and ten holes were left in
his head. The most serious scorching
was that upon the eyelids. They were
completely burned off both eyes, and in
their stead at present is the raw, in
famed and swollen flesh. The sight is
most repulsiye, but Mr.. Chaffee bears
his misfortune with great fortitude.
When asked if his injuries were pain
full, he replied: "Yes, sir, they hurt me

who sat near.
The work of putting new eyelids upon
the unfortunate contractor is to be done
by DR.. Il. d. Edsall, who said that he
would cut the material for Mr.. Chaffee's
eyelids out of the patients arm. Except
for his burns Mr.. Chaffee was in a
healthy condition, and his own cuticle
would perhaps knit more rapidly than
that from another person. The new
eyelids will be bereft Of eyelashes, but

INDIAN. who Ride in Fine Carriages.

Indians who Ride In Fine Carriages.
The Siocx nation is rapidly becoming
a nation of aristocrats. During the past
few weeks many fine new carriages have
crossed over here to the Sioux reserva-
ton, and all of them belonged to men,
beers of the Sioux nation who came here
at different times and purchased them,
paying for the same in good hard cash.
Carriage dealers are now, in conse.
quence, doing a rushing business with
the Indians, and the demand for tho
finest and most expensive carriages is in
creasing, all the prominent and wealth.
Ter Indians appearing determined not to
be outdone by any other member or
members of the tribe.
The purchase by one Indian of an ele-
CANT carriage is sure to arouse the jeal.
ousy Of some other Indian, and then
some rustling is done. Cattle or any.
thing that will net them the money
needed is hurried to the nearest market
and disposed of, and with the money
thus obtained the fortunate Indian will
hurry to a wagon and carriage dealer
and purchase the finest carriage that can
be procured.
The Lower Brule and Crow Creek In.
dians are already the possessors of many
fine turnouts, and should they keep on
as they are now doing every Indian will
soon travel about in a carriage Of his
own. If the carriage manufacturers
would paint their carriages a gaudier
color it would result in largely increased
sales, on the frontier at least, but at the
rate the Indians are purchasing it is
quite probable that they are satisfied
with the plain colors.-South Dakota

DUMB TAUGHT TO SPEAK.
An Important Change in Deaf-Mute
Treatnent,


Treatment.
When the Pennsylvania Deaf and Dumb
Asylum moves into its new building at
Mount Airy. which will be among the finest
OF their kind in the world, a departure will
be made in the methods of instruction of the
utmost Importance. 1t has been practically
decided that in the new quarters the So
called oral system of instruction will be
given first place, and the sign language
method will be largely discarded.
Moses Moses, boy of Easton, Pa, who
has been in the institution since 1885, is one
of the marvellous products OF the oral in
struetion" system. He was born deaf, and
has never heard the sound of his own or of
any other persons voice. But he can now
move around among his fellows in the world
outside OF the Institution, and no one would
ever know that he was either deaf or dumb.
BY laborlous process he has been taught
how to move his lips and vocal chords aud
how to frame sounds, and now he talks Xix .
one who has heard conversation on every
hand since the cradle. He has been taught
to understand what is said to him by watch
ing the movements OF the speakers lips and
throat, and now he can "hear," or come
near enough to it, for all the activities and
duties of life.
ut is a wonderful SYSTEM" said Dr.
Sess yesterday, land it has great ad-
vantages over the method OF instruction
through the sign language that has hitherto
prevailed extensively with us. When boys
and girls learn to talk with their hands they
can talk only among themselves, and when
they go out into the world they are shut off
like race of their OVID from the rest of
humanity. When they are taught by the
oral method their intrmities seem to have
left them, and they can mix with society.
There are 432 students in our institu-
ton, and of these we have been instructin g
100 by the oral method.
p" believe that in our new institution the
very large majority of the students will
give up the Sign language and be taught the
spoken language. "-Philadelphia Record.
