HOW MUTEs MAKE LOVE.

BY the Sense of Touch They Are Able to
Coo to Each Other.
Pearson's weekly.1
A gentleman who enjoys wide acquaint-
ance among the deaf writes that the court
ship of pair of mutes is one of the most
singular things on record.
81 know young man who is now deep
in the tolls of a fair and speechless GIRL"
he said, "and he has taken ME into his con-
fdence. He is perfectly happy in his in
trinity, for from conversation he has held
with ordinary lovers he has come to the
conclusion that silence is, after all, the best
form for lovers.
'fDuring the progress of his love he ex-
perienced but one difficulty, and that in q
short time he surmounted. The thorn that
lay in his bed of roses was gas jet
which, as he of course conversed with his
adored one in the sign language, it was al
ways necessary to keep abls1e-a wofully
embarrassing thing for lovers.
'tFinally they discovered that they could
utilize the sense of touch in deciphering
their sign language. By holding one an
others hands they found that they could
carry on a conversation with tolerable facil-
ity, and in about u week were adopts. Thus
deaf, dumb, and practically blind. they en-
joyed all the pleasure of love. They have
spread their discovery among their friends.
and believe that the idea has taken fast
hold upon deaf lovers"

LOVERS IN ANCIENT TIMES.
Characters We're Nearly Al
ways Very Faithful.

shakespeare's Characters We're Nearly Al
ways Very Faithful.
The Chautauquan.l
The modern subjective love story is made
wearisome by overmuch study of the moral
inwards of the lovers Shakespeare did not
decline upon the psychologist analysis of
human emotions, and therefore we see
lovers in his plays as we see them in our
own world, and this is the wholesome way
of attending this everlasting spectacle. 1t
ia no small cause of the dignity love wears
in our dramatist that his lovers are not
often boys and girls. He has, so to speak,
ripened fruit which is hardly to be en-
joyed when it is green. Indeed, he has
scarcely given us one pair of lovers about
whom we feel that ''they are very young"
and most of them present the appearance of
mature manliness and womanliness.
OF the men, excepting Orlando, the be-
loved of Rosalind, and the boy who runs off
with Jsssssa, Shylock's daughter, we cannot
be far wrong in assuming that they have at
h7sogess, Rosdltnd, Porfid and Ophelid seem to
be in. their early girlhood? There is q
comfortable sense of matronliness about
all these women, and they are weighed,
too, with character, thing Shakes
peare thought highly appropriate in a
woman.
OF one common condiment in love sto-
ries, Shakespeare is very frugal, that is to
say, faithlessness. His lovers for the most
part are as good as they engage to be, and
they do not seem to have discovered those
awful mistakes of choice which justify low
ing another mans wife or eloping with an
other girl.

GOLD sPENT BY TOURISTS,
An Immense Amount Is AnnusIly Dep %

An Immense Amount Is Annusily Dep %
tied In tho Eternal City.
Pearson's Weekly.l
How Italy, country without gold mines,
finds the gold to pay the ten millions a
year due to foreign holders of her bonds,
has been something of a mystery. The
Secretary of the British Embassy in Rome
declares that the only solution of the ques-
tion at which it is logical to arrive is that
this amount of gold Is annually brought
into the country by foreign travellers, who
swarm during the four seasons Of the year
in one part of Italy or the other.
From calculations made by the United
States consular representatives in various
parts of the country, it has been computed
that for the last ten years the average an
nual expenditure in Italy of American
citizens has been above seven millions ster-
ling.
II would scarcely be an exaggeration to
place the collective expenditure of British,
French, Australian, German and other
foreign travellers at double this amount.
This, we are reminded, lis irrespective OF the
money spent in the country by the 30. 700 or
60, 900 pilgrims who annually visit the
Eternal city, and of the amount of which
they are the bearers in the shape Of dona-
tions to the Holy See.

BUSINESS BREvITIEs.

THE Old Colony Railroad has decls red o
81 rs dividend payable September l.
The 800 sawmill men who struck at Merrill
Wis, last Friday, returned to work yester-,
day and will settle the trouble By arbitra-
ton.
YESTERDAY the Blandon rolling mill, at
Blandon, and the Hamburg rolling mill, at
Hamburg, resumed, and together whom in

TRUSTEE SwEETLAND, Of the Sprague estate,
ia now paying at Providence. r. l., the
Sprague creditors a final dividend of 1920
per cent, making in all 1890 per cent for
The creditors. The original creditors have
in many cases passed away, and their de-
cendants are widely scattered.
THE men employed in the sawmills at
Stevens Point, Wis, are on a strike. Just
what is wanted is not definitely known,
some claiming they want an advance in
wages, while others say they will be willing
to work at the former wages provided the
time is changed from II to 10 hours for a
days work.
In reference to the discharge Of employees
of the total number of 100 by the Philadel-
phia and Reading Company at its three
shops in Reading, Palo Alto and Schuylkill
Haven, it is stated that they were merely
put or for one month owing to the scarcity
of certain kinds of lumber which must be
well seasoned in order to be used with ad-
vantage.
The failure IS announced Of the we'll
known cotton factorage firm OF Bickham
Moore at New Orleans. No statement has
been made as to assets or liabilities. but the
firms business was large. The house has al
ways borne an excellent reputa tion and the
the best known and most popular men in
the cotton trade.

JOHN HAMMOND DYING.
A Very Well-Known Theatrical Man tn,
Victim Of Murderous Blow.

Very WeIl-Known Theatrical Man the
Victim OF Murderous Blow.
CINCINNATI, Aug. IL Special il ohm
Hammond, the well-known theatrical man
ager, is dying at the Cincinnati hospital
and it is thought cannot live until morning.
Some unknown hand is responsible for
what will prove murder. An abscess has
developed In his brain. which gives him q
very short lease of life. 1t was while on his
tour for booking an attraction in the early
part Of last May that he got mixed up in
saloon row in Detroit and was hit on the head
with coupling pin by an unknown hand.
He fell unconscious with fractured
skull, and was taken to q hospital in that
city from which he was discharged several
weeks ago as cured. He was on his way to
headquarters in Louisville when
ct Elm and Liberty streets, this
city, he fell unconscious to the sidewalk
and patrol wagon took him to the hospital.
Hammond is about 40 years old. He was
for many years prominent producer of
ballads, and was for some time stage mana
ger of Niblo's Garden, New
York. He was also connected for time
with the Central Theater, of Philadelphia.
In the past two seasons he has been with
the Whallen and Martell Company, which
he organised. He is member Of Hoboken
Elks lodge
