" DEAF MUTES DANCE.
A Jumping Mummy on the Piano Keeps

A Jumping Mummy on the Piano Keeps
:. the Step for Them.
A social club of deaf mutes exists in
Warsaw since 1888, and as there are
a large number of persons thus aflict-
ed in the capital of Russian Poland, the
club is doing very well. During the
last week of carnival the club arranged
ball, and in order to enable the mem
Der to dance to the music in time,
very curious plan was adopted, which
proved quite efficient. A large paper
doll was rugged up on the piano, and
the player, also a deaf mute, who fur
nished the music, which, of course,
could not be heard by the members of
the club. used a pedal to make the
paper figure move up and down in time
with the piece played. A large sign
alongside announced the character of
the dance, and thus it became possible
for the deaf mutes to enjoy the dances
as if they were not afflicted with their
organic shortcomings. Besides that,
they were spared the agony Of those
who could hear, for some wag had tam
pered with the piano, which was fright.
fully out of tune, even the player never
noticing that fact The deaf mutes
danced into the early morning hours
and unanimously voted the entertain
ment O magnificent success.

An Interesting Enoch Arden Case In an

A curious Enoch Arden case, in which

36 years, Six years after his disap-

from whom she at last obtained a judi

The second husband pleaded that his

THE LETTER "T."

A French Grapholoeist Says That It In
dicates tie Writer'S Character.
A French graphologist has discovered
that character can be read from the
letter "t' alone. He claims that the
vertical Line represents the fatality OF
life, and the horizontal bar the influ-
ience human Will exercises upon this
fatality.
In addition, be claims that the higher
part Of the vertical Ine-that project
ing above the horizontal bar-has indi-
cations of the amount Of ideality con-
tanned in the makeup of the writer, and
that the inferior part of this line CORE
spends to the practical and material
part OF the mans character.
For instance, the optimist crosses his
IS with line that slopes upward from
the earth to the sky, as it were. The
poet often crosses his It's quite above
the vertical line; in other words, ip the
sky. :" - :
The pessimist crosses his It's with a
downward sloping stroke. The line,
which commences at the ideal portion
of the letter, deseends little by little UNI
I'll it is lost among the sad realities of
earthly existence.

steers a middle course, and crosses his

IRONY OF FATE.

IL PursMes Two Eminently Respectable
Ladies Who Could Not Agree. $,
Not long ago there were two ladies'
stopping at the same boarding house.
They were single ladies, be it said, and
both highly respectable. But for some
reason, says the Minneapolis Times,
known only to themselves, they
couldn't get along" and matters went
between them from bad to worse till
they "quit speaking 81:
They both got tired, of course, living
in the same house with a mortal enemy,
and finally both determined to move.
Arrangements were made. and, as luck
would have it, both moved the same
day. Lady No, loaded up her house
hold goods in the morning, and in the
afternoon a dray pulled up and car
ried away the trunk, shawlstraps, and
other effects of lady No. 2.
Lady No. was just composing her.
self to view the surroundings of her
new lodging place, when a wagon
stopped at the front door and began to
unload a collection of articles unmis-
takably feminine. She sized up the
trunk and went downstairs. filed with
a horrible suspicion, to interview the
landlady.
Her suspicious were true. They had
moved into the SEINE house,
; There is no more to the story. OF
course, they should have made up their
differences and lived in peace and char
ity ever after. But they did not. Lady
No. 2 never got her trunk inside of the
house. fss-.- -- - i

GENESIS or a "cRANk.','
The Eject Of I.erge Ideas Upon Small
- IE Minds. SAs

- .fE Minds. 8
sOne of the most interesting of psy-
geological studies, says the Century, is
the effect of "a large @idea upon a small
mind. "A large idea entering a large
mind balances and dignifes it; it's eff
feet upon small mind is often com
pletely upsetting. The man becomes
intellectually top-heayy and unsteady.
:. When one becomes observant of this
phenomenon he finds much to .amuse
.and again much to :deplore. He is
amused, for instance, to notice the re-
suit of this overlooking throughout a
dong career. Where: q subject is thus
acted upon by a succession of ideas,
each embodyipg an important truth
which the man is incapable ofcarrying,
his receptivity to impression proves to
She his bane. The sudden realization
for the first time Of a ndamental prin-
,cipie makes a monomaniac Of him: An
other sudden realization of still another
fundamental principle and he is spin
ming off at a new tangent.
But there are times when this effect
of large IDEAS upon little minds is most
,mischievous and deplorable. Thus is
bred the race of incurable cranks in
philosophy, theology, art and politics.
The word Crank has been maliciously
missised. for purposes of cynical ridi-
Guile, but it il too descriptive a name
to he set aside. The eongenial crank
is always started on his career Of in
utility: by this application of big idea
TO a small brain. The most firing
thing about him is his self-compla~
;eency, owing to his knowledge of the
fact that better men have been mis-
called byhis own accurately descriptive

The story OF the ass who clothed him
self in a lions skin in order to pass
himself off as the king of beasts is well
known, but the tale of the thief who
got inside a sleeps skin to he better
able to carry on his nefarious trade
has yet to be told, says the London
Telegraph. EARLY one morning two
policemen, who were on duty at the
slaughter houses of Paris. were aston
ashed to see a sheep sendeavoring to
effect an entrance into the Enclosure
where creatures of it's kind were dou-
.bled when a mans hand protruded from
beneath the stolen fleece. Their curl
;osity became intensified and they care
fully followed the sham animal, who
stopped at the pen which inclosed the
real article, and with great GOODNESS
chose the two largest and fattest of the
flock. ..5 s... .... *
Still observed by the watchful guard
ians Of the lazy, this plagiarist of an
ancient fable proceeded to kill and cut
up his capture. and was on the point
OF making off with his booty when he
found himself in turn the spoil of the
law and was quickly marched off to
the police station, where he gave his
name as Eugene Lassot. From his &C
count he made good living out of his
occupation by selling the meat to vari-
Gus butchers. For some time, at least,
it is to be hoped, that the animals at
the abattoirs will cease to be sent to
an earaier death by the depredations of
this latest wolf in sleeps clothing.
