Fun at Home.

Don't be afraid of little fun at
home. good people! Don't shut up
your house lest the sun should fade
your carpets; and your hearts, lest
a hearty laugh should shake down
some of the musty old cobwebs there!
If you want to ruin your sons, let
them think that all mirth and social
enjoyment must be left on the thresh-
old without, when they come home
at night. When once a home is re-
garded as only place to eat, drink,
and sleep in. the work is begun that
ends in gambling houses and degra-
dation. Young people must have
fun and relaxation somewhere; if they
do not find it at their own hearth
stones, it will be sought at other and
less profitable places. Therefore let
the fire burn brightly at night, and
make your home delightful with all
those little arts that parents SO per-
fectly understand. Don't repreSs the
buoyant spirits Of your children: half
an hour of merriment round the
bright fire of a home blots out the re-
membrance of many a care and an
nOyance during the day, and the best
safeguard they can take with them
into the world is the unseen influence
of a bright little domestic sanctum.

Phonograph to Cure Deafness.

When Edison invented the phono-
graph he used the human ear as a
guide and the construction of that
machine involves the mechanical de-
sign upon which the ear is fashioned.
Probably he had no idea of applying
the invention to the cure of deaf
ness, but science has begun to do
that. a well-known Washington
physician is believer in the DhonO-
graph as remedy for that affection.
Experiments at home strengthened
his belief and he has introduced the
phonogragh into his practice. Deaf.
ness in most cases, the doctors says,
comes from catarrh. The passage
from the throat to the ear becomes
choked and coating forms on the
bones of the ear which interferes with
vibration. AS this coating thickens
and hardens the vibratory power be-
comes less, and when it ceases the
function of the ear drum is suspended.
The doctors idea is that vibratory
force applied to the ear by means of
photograph must quicken the ear
drum and affect the coating of the
inner bones. Gradually this coating
must be diSlodged, and with the COM
pletion of that process hearing will
be restored This may happen in the
majority of cases in about two
months, he thinks, with daily treat
ment of twenty minutes duration.
He has prepared variety of cylinders
to produce different sound effects.
The int nsity of the vibrations is I'M
der the control of the operator, so
that treatment may be varied as ne
cessary. The sensation is said by the
New Orleans Times-DcmOcrat to be
pleasant to the deaf. To persons of
normal hearing the sounds rumble
and clatter like the noise of a rail-
road train. Musical cylinders are not
suited to the treatment. although in
certain cases bugle calls, cornet solos
and the chimes of loud bells may be
used to advantage.

JUDICIAL KINDERGARTEN.

Effective Use of the Sign Language in
Sentencing . Prisoner.
sOnce upon q time" says George
r. B, Hayes, 'there was a judge
named Redman, who presided over a
big territory which kept him racing
from Santa Cruz to Salinas and San
Luis Obispo. The Spanish pOpula-
tion was the chief race to be found in
that district, and Redman knew but
two words in the language, which
were No tiende,' and was put to the
necessity of employing court inter
prefer, who attended him in his rapid
tour Of the big circuit
1t happened that a murderer was
to be sentenced in Monterey and that
an important trial must be attended
miles away, on the same day. Red
mans interpreter had gone to fan
dango in the wilds somewhere and
couldn't be found when court was
opened, and Redman was in a fury OF
impatience. At last, when he could
endure the delay no longer, he said
to the man below in the dock:
prisoner at the bar-Stand up!"
mo tiende." said the man, shak-
ing his head stupidity.
'You don't savoy, do you?" ex-
claimed the Judge sharply, ''well, do
you understand this?" and he pro-
ceeded to gesticulate vigorously with
his hands, and indicate the motion
of rising.
The man finally comprehended and
arose stiffiy in his seat.
''PrisOner at the bar-It is the SEN
tence of this court that you be taken
from the place whence you came on
Friday, the 9th day of June next,
be hanged by the neck until you are
dead, and may God have mercy on
your soul. Now, do you savoy that?"
The poor prisoner shook his head
in a bewildered fashion. and could
only cry, "No tiende, no tiende."
''1s there anybody present in this
court who can translate that awful
sentence to this prisoner" demanded
the Judge of the half dozen officials
and spectators in the room. They
were all in the same boat as the pris-
oner and could only shake their heads
mournfuily:
"Well," exclaimed the Judge, a
bright thought striking him, "I'll
just show you, then. this way!"
whereupon he unreeled a yard of red
tape that lay on the desk, and twisting
it hurriedly about his own neck held
the two ends high over his left ear,
at the same time rolling his eyes and
wagging his tongue down against his
chin.
A dreadful groan went up from the
prisoner and from the others in the
courtroom. They understood the
grim judicial kindergarten completely.

BOYS who 60 swimming should re-
member that if they will keep the
water out Of their mouths they can
not sink. The air in a boys lungs
will keep him afloat if he will keep
the water out of his mouth. When
boys are drowned, it is usually be-
cause they become excited. Boys
should always remember that there is
very little danger in the water if
they will only keep cool; the power a
woman uses in swinging fan is SUI
flcient to keep boy afloat. Too
many boys, when they 60 in swim
ming, work their legs and arms with
great vigor. This is unnecessary. A
boy swims almost as natural as a
duck, if he will keep cool. If big
boy throws a little one in, all the
little one has to do is to hold his
breath and close his mouth; he will
drift to the surface like cork.

THAT Gotham's Grant monument
fund is still growing is evidenced by
the following from the New York
Tribune: "One of the most suggest

which was collected by city mis-
sionary in 7-cent lodging house.
Most Of the subscribers, the mission

cents a day. 1t is easy to see that a
contribution of single cent by such

larger number Of dollars which the

was the first collection Of the kind
ever taken in such place. To Gen.

THERE was never question as to
the guilt of the officers of the wrecked
Maverick bank of Boston. Proofs
were abundant that they had used
their positions for the purpose of
looting the bank, and that they had
rendered themselves liable to the
penalties provided in such cases by
the national banking law. The
amount involved was more than
$1,000, 900 and there was proof that
the inculpated officers had made
sworn statements to the Treasury
Department that were clearly false.
There were unpleasant rumors at the
time Of the banks suspension that
the guilty parties had made their
peace with the United States attor-
neys having the prosecution in charge.
These have been justified by the re-
cent dismissal of the whole case
against the officers of the defunct
bank on a demurrer raised to the
pleadings Of the Government counsel.
1t should be said that the attorneys
whose complaint was thus success
fully demurred to have asserted that
the criminals will be once more
brought to bar and their punishment
made certain. But this is the speech
Of lawyers who had full knowledge of
the case and displayed their inability
or unwillingness to give such careful
attention to the complaint as to have
prevented the present disgraceful
outcome. These gentlemen are
warned that the very statement Of
the amount involved and the prom
inence of the guilty parties make the
case the more serious so far as tie
honest purpose of the prosecuting
attorneys is concerned. Because OF
this miscarriage of justice it will oc-
cur to many that not all the million
dollars lost to the depositors and
stockholders of the ruined bank was
. out of the control of the wreckers.
They have probably placed some of it
where it would do the most good to
themselves.

French Schoolgirls.

Mrs. a. C. Dana, writing in the
Atlantic Monthly about ''What
French Girls study" remarks upon
the 'element of stability in educa-
Jon as it is given at French pri-
vate school. The pupil enters it at
ave years of age. or perhaps at four,
and remains under the same teachers
until her schooling is over.
'They calmly lay out for her
courses of study embracing five, six,
ten and even twelve years. There is
always plenty of time and no hurry. :"
OF some other features of French
schoolgirls life, the writer says:
s'School terms are longer and school
life is less broken into by vacations
than with US. The girls study more
hours week and more weeks in the
year than we do. School opens the
last week in September, and does not
close until the second week in Au-
gust.
'There are no spring or winter va
cations, and no Saturday holidays.
Six weeks in the late summer, a few
days each at New Year and Easter,
all Sundays and the principal church
holidays, and usually half holiday
on Thursday, are all the breaks made
in school life, which goes on almost
uninterrupted in slow healthful regu-
larity for ten months and half out
of the twelve.
"Another element in French school
life is concentration. A girls time is
less broken into by outside interests
than with us, and there is less strain
upon nerves and imagination.
''Not till her growth is attained,
her school life over, and her mind ana
character are fairly formed is she al
lowed to read novels, to 60 to parties
and dances, to attend the theater,
or to indulge in any of the distrac-
tions and designations so frequently
permitted to growing schoolgirls in
America.
mo matter how wealthy and aris-
tocratic her parents, she is Injured to
early hours, simple food, plain sur
roundings, and regular occupations;
and her dress is the quiet, dark uni
form, without ribbon or ornament,
which is customary in day schools as
well as bOarding-SchOOlS.
I'm my experience of private
schools in both countries, it has
seemed to me that the French girl is
more simple and childlike, on the one
hand, and more serious-mlnded, more
capable of sustained work and
thought, on the other, than the aver
age American girl of the same age.
"From the fact of not having friv-
olous amusements and sentimental
vagaries to disturb her mind and work
On her nerves, and being better dis
ciplined from infancy to obedience,
regularity and self-control, she throws
ner youthful energy and enthusiasm
more wholly into the interests of her
school work and her family life; and
as consequence she is less nervous
than her American sister, less subject
to backaches and headaches, works
with less fatigue, is more active and
merry at play, more simple in her
tastes more easily amused and con-
tented with everyday life and labors,
and perhaps more frank, loyal and
affectionate in her family relations
and school friendships. - Youths

The public schools have closed with
the usual exhibitions. Those gradu-
ating pupils put forward as essayists
are examples of the best that the
public schools can produce of decla-
nation and composition. In most
cases it will be found that those who
succeeded owed success almost wholly
to native talent and not to specific
school training 1t is an obvious de-
feet in the curriculum of the higher
public schools that the system does
not concern itself at all, or so slightly
as to be inefficient, about that most
useful feature of education, express
sion. The system is favorable to the
absorption by the pupil of great va
riety of learning, useful and useless
languages, sciences, and various things
not appertaining properly to COM
mon school education, but it does not
concern itself to degree, such as
real use of education justifies, in
teaching the pupil how to express his
knowledge. There is next to no at
tention in the higher public schools
paid to that constant training in
composition which is necessary to en-
able one who is not gifted with fluen-
cy to express himself clearly and
gracefully in writing, nor is there
that teaching in defamation which
would enable youth to appear in pub
lie with modest confidence, which is
necessary to success. It is quite as
necessary to enable pupil to express
clearly the knowledge which has been
given him as it is to enable him to
acquire that knowledge, for it is not
the mere requirement that counts
it is the ability to apply knowledge,
and expression in this view becomes
a matter of great moment. In this
respect there is deplorable deficiency
in the public schools.

In many shop or Office window a
shrewd inventor has placed a wheel
that is usually seen to be rapidly
revolving. The happy inmates of
the room fancy that the spinning of
that wheel produces current of air
that keeps the room ventilated.
They do not stop to think that the
air-current turns the wheel, and that
therefore the wheel cannot create the
current. No, that activity of the
wheel is a sign to them that there is
an activity of the air. True, there
would be still greater activity of
the air if the wheel were removed
entirely, but then they would have
no evidence of it. The rotating
wheel serves merely to prevent the
free egress or ingress of air.

THE number of immigrants ar
rived at the principal ports, comprisss
ing about 80 per cent. of the whole
number of arrivals was 92,242 in
May, against S5,941 in May, 1891.
The total number of arrivals during
the expired eleven months of the
present fiscal year was SAG, 200,
against 4S7. 179 during the same time
last year, an increase of 59,O21. In
June last year the number of arrivals
was about $4,000. Assuming that
the number will be no greater this
month. the total number of arrivals
this year will be about 625, 600 at all
ports. But the returns for June are
likely to show an increase, as do
those for May, SO that the total may
be safely estimated at $50, 600. This
number has never been exceeded ex-
cepting in 1881, when the total was
$50, 431, and in 1882, when it was
1892. But in making the COM
parison it must be remembered that
the totals since 1885 have not includ-
ed arrivals from Canada and Mexico,
which in 1881 numbered 125, ZIG, and
in 1882 9S,661. Making these de-
auctions, we have remaining total
of 543,715 for 1881 and 600, 331 for
1882, so that the latter year is really
the only one showing Known excess
over the arrivals of the current year.
For the last six years, including the
present one, the average number of
arrivals has been about half a million.
