Speaking Without Tongues.

Can we speak without tongue?
Professor Huxley says yes. Persons
suffering from cancer frequently lose
their tongues and discover that they
cannot only talk as we'll rs formerly,
but also that their sense of taste is
not impaired. The letters d and I
IRE the only ones which, as n rule.
those deprived of their tongue find
any difficulty i'll proDouncinE properly,
and such letters are frequently turned
into is p's, VS., this Many instances
are on record of the speaking powers
OF tonguelcss persons In lSi \. j..
sixty Christian confessors had their
tongues cut out by order of Hunneric,
but IN short time some OF them went
out preaching again. Pope Leo III.
is said to have suffered similar mutiln-
ton and TO have regained his speech.
Sir John Malcolm tells of ono mi
Khan, who had his tongue cut out
and who recovered his speech enough
to tell the physician how il happened.
Margaret Cutting was examined be-
fore the Royal Society OF England in
l7i2. She had not vestige of tongue
remaining, and yet "discourscl as
huently and as we'll MS others. The
tongue actually appears unnecessary
to the development of speech. =

population then proceed to the outskirts OF the
village. and the eggs are there boiled and eaten
to the accompaniment of certain heathenish in

OF the village. A high-lying piece OF
ground is then selected. and two mounds of
earth are raised on it. Every man. woman and
child then passes snely between the mounds,
shouting furiOusly all the time while certain
men. armed with pieces OF bone, wave these

still further to increase the din. When this
