Making the Dumb TO Speak.

There cannot be an instance OF per-
son born dumb regainiug speech, for no
one can regain what he never possessed,
though he may acquire it. In speaking,
however, of persons born dumb We must
exclude the vast majority of those, called
deaf and dumb, for their inability to
sneak arises from no malformation OF the
tongue, but they remain speechless be-
cause, having been deaf from birth or
early childhood, they have never heard
the conversation Ct Others, nor learned to
initiate it. Large numbers, who in this
sense have been deaf and dumb all their
lives, have learned to speak by signs or
by the motion of the lips, or by sounds
such as ordinary persons produce. 1t Is
difficult to tell generally whether per-
son is dumb from birth, because the de-
feet is not at first suspected. But there
are cases of real congenital dumbness. 1t
arise from injury to the lingual nerves, or
nerves of the tongue, or from general or
local debility. But it may arise from q
visible cause, from the child Being
tongue tied, the frenum llngua, as ls Is
called, or bride Of the tongue-a men,
brane underneath lt-extending too tar
forward towards the tip of the tongue,
so as to prevent the tongue being e1. x.
pended or put out. This may make 1t
impossible for the child to suck, and If
not relieved, may interfere with Its speech.
A surgeon can snip the thin part Of the
frgnum, care, however, being taken not
to endanger the liugual artery. 1t is not
certain, however, that a tongue tied per-
son could not speak, for Jussien, one
hundred and sixty years ago, recorded
the case of girl of fifteen year old. who
had never possessed a tongue, and yet
could speak without inconvenience, and
persons learn to do so who have had their
tongues to great extent removed

Long Finger Nails.

To allow the nails to grow to an in
ordinate length is common in China, as
an indication that the owner follows q
sedentary occupation or leads life OF
leisure. Long nails on the right hand
would interfere with the use OF the
brush corresponding to our pen). and
would therefore reflect unfavorably on
the person concerned, as tending to
show that he did not devote himself to
composition and literary exercises, the
pride of every educated Chinese. They
are almost always confined to the left
hand, therefore, and are at times very
long, delicately chased silver cases being
worn to protect them. Some years ago
l met Chinese gentleman who had care.
fully guarded the growth of the nails on
the third and fourth fingers, the former
for some ten years, the latter for over
twenty-five. The nail on the fourth
finger, when the silver protector was re-
moved, was some six inches or more
long, and twisted like corkscrew.
Some few months later, this gentleman,
owing to an accident, broke the nail.
His grief was as great as if he had lost
near relative.-Notes and Queries.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Prejudice is bias independent of the
facts.
If is a small word, but huge OBJ
stacle.
He who cares not to return may go
anywhere.
Hearts ease is flower that grows on
the grave of desire.
He who deserves nothing has no right
to complain of anything.
Suspicion, envy, revenge and rcmcrse
are the four vultures of the heart.
The apt use of symbols is the great
art for ruling the operations of human
brains.
He has au ignobie soul who is unwill-
ing to serve royal cause unless first
decked in its livery.
The merely surprising surprises but a
few times; the iutrinsically admirable is
ever more and more admired.
Be not plant wax for outward circum-
stance to seal. Make your own thought
the mould, your own will the stamp, of
your life.
Everything else of time mclts into
eternity without resistance or complaint.

COLUMBIAN STAMPS.
New Series to be Issued to Mark the
Discovery of America.

New Series to be Issued to Mark the
Discovery of America.
The Postofliee Department has decided to
issue what will-he known as the Columbian
series OF postag, stamps to be furnished by
che American B INK Note Company Of New
York under contract just signed. The
denominations Of all o. tae series have not
as yet been fully determined poon, bet they
will embrace all OF the present series and
probably some Others.
The new stamps will be Of the same height
as the present series, but twics as long, the
increased size being thou zht necessary in
order properly to display the illustrations.
These are intended to commemorate the dis
covery Of America by Columbus, and
several of the illustrations have already
been decided upon. These are the
"Discovery Of America by Columbus
First Sight Of Laud;" ''Columbuss Fleet
at Sea-" from Revista de Ia Nina; LAND
ing of Columbus" after the Van der Lyn
picture in the United States Capitol; "The
Santa Maria" Columbus's flagship, after
Alfred Harrisse; columbus Asking Aid of
Queen Isabella" and Columbus Rsciting
aud Isabella Oh His Return From His First
Voyage" On one of the denominations will
appear portrait OF Columbus.
It Is expected that the entire serie5 will be
put on sale January l, 1898, and during the
succeeding year will entirely supersede the
present series. 1t Is expected that the net
revenue to the Government from the sale Of
these stamps will be very large, aud that
their sale to collectors will largely exceed
any previous issue. It is also believed that
this issue will greatly stimulate interest in
the exposition, both abroad and at home.

summer he is almost naked. He sows
his barley or rice in a bed, hoes them by
hand, resps them with a sickle, and
winnows them in the wind. A quarter of
an acre is a big farm. He has no
knowledge of politics. China might
have big war and he would never hear
of it till troops marched into his rice
field.
The tools of the average Chinese
farmer are basket, a tea kettle and
four.tined hoe. This hoe is very heavy,
and is used for spading as we'll as hoe
ing. He raises it in the air as black
smith raises his sledge, imbeds it In the
earth, and pulls it forward. The food
of 400,OOO,000 people is cul-
tivated by this one implement. A
trashing machine or reaper is never
seen in China. The Chinese put as
much labor on an acre as an American
farmer would on twenty acres. A China
man will raise enough on an acre to sup
port family of seven and pay his dollar
and a half in taxes. The size OF
Chinese farm is from a hundred feet
square to three acres. A quarter of an
acre will keep man busy, but he will
raise three crops year on it. First he
raises barley or wheat in the winter.
When the wheat IS heading, cotton is
sown broadcast. After reapiug the
barley and wheat in June the little
cotton is seen coming up. Then the
barley roots are pulled up and the cotton
comes on. 1t is in beds and is all hoed
by hand. 1t grows low and has a short
stable. Chinese cotton would not bring
three cents pound in New Orleans, and
the yield is about 200 pounds to the
acre. Men and women draw the crops
to market on two-wheeled carts.
Cotton is not baled but crowded into
sacks like wool. Horses are seldom seen
on farm in China; men and women do
the work of the horse. A Chinese farm
laborer gets about four or five cents day
and his rice.
Notwithstanding labor being so cheap
in China the superior skill of our Amer.
lean cotton planters and the good quail
ity of their cotton and its cheap price is
destroying the cotton industry in China.
China will have to give up cotton and
90 into rice, barley and peanuts. Last
year the Chinese raised only 100, 600
bales of cotton. The raising CT silk
worms here will always thrive, and silk

Office, has been conducting general broker.
age business About a year ago he took j.
o. A. Houghton in partnership. Houghton
was the monied man of the concern, and at
various times advanced some SIS, 600 for the
wildcat schemes Of his partner.
For some time there has been trouble
brewing. Houghton was dissatisfied with
the management Of Canady, and on several
occasions the two have been heard quarrell.
ing
About o'clock in the evening Houghton
came into the Office and put 5000 in cash in
the safe and left for the night. Canady slept
in the adjoining room.
About six o'clock next morning Charles
N. Stevenson, who rooms in the house,
heard some one calling for help. He ran
down stairs and located the cries in Haugh.
toms private Office. On his opening the door
q strange sight met his eyes.
At the dumb waiter door stood Canady,
tied and gagged with piece Of his night
shirt drawn across his mouth. Stevenson
quickly cut the prisoner loose and Canady
said that between and o'clock that morn
ing he was awakened from sleep by thres
burglars, who took him into the other room
and at the point of the pistol meae him open
the safe. They then ransacked his partners
papers and tied him there to the door.
A messenger was sent at once TOR Mr..
Houghton. and when the latter arrived
Canady told him his story and pointed to
the empty safe Houghton fouted the story,
accused Canady Of robbing The safe and left
the house saying that he would at once put
the matter into the hands OF the police.
Canady then locked himself in, and going
to his cot threw himself down and put q
bullet through his brain. When the police
arrived they; had to force an entrance and the
Iifeless body of Canady was found on the
floor in pool Of blood.
Canady was about fifty years Of age, q
native OF North Carolina, and was Colonel
in the Confederate Army.

China, where five cent labor oan pick

our camellia or japonica.
If rice is to be raised after barley and
wheat, the land is flooded with water.
Men and women, knee deep in water,
null the harrows. Then the rice IS set
out in the water in hills foot apart. 1t
is common to see women working in the
rice field covered with straw garments
to their knees, Alter the rice is har-
vested a full crop of radlshes is put in.
In order to irrigate for rice water is
pumped on to the land by hand, though
sometimes revolving belt covered with
buckets is propelled by buffalo cow
which walks round and round like
thrashing horses in America.
Rice in China is worth about dollar
n bushel. A Chinaman can live on four,
bushels OF rice year. This, with pea
nut oil, tea, and little sugar, costs
about IS year.
"You think FIVE dollars year in
America" said Mr.. Leonard, Oar Con-
sui General, "is cheap living, but if a
