Judge Royal Tyler, who refused at the

serrated leaf and you will see why. The
directions given by one who learned the
various stitches at the famous South
Kensington school are: "a long stitch
forward ION the right or upper side),
and a short backward stitch on the I'M
der side" The illustration will show
how this is done.
The same method is applicable for
outlining flowers, such as pansies or
daisies. When a center is required, the
proper finish is the French knot. This
looks complicated to those who do not
know how this is done, but it is very
simple. 1t is made by pushing the
needle up through the cloth, just where
the knot is to be, then winding the ssk
round the needle, two, three or foul
times before pushing it back through
the cloth to the wrong side. The mum

let such a one make the attempt by
binding or consciantiously closing the
ewes. Then write d letter of a couple of
pages. You will have a good laugh
at your miserable failure at keeping
the lines straight, and at many other
things. In short, the effort is full of
ludicrous surprises.
Miss Bessie Myson is one of the oral
teachers in the New York deaf mute
institute. Orris Benson, in oral in
struction, is under her care. The meth
cd of teaching Benson to talk is that
known as visible speech. The letters
by this system, or rather, the sounds
which these letters represent, are la
bials, linguals and gutturals. By that
| extremely acute sense of touch which
lodges in Orris Benson's finger tips he
must learn the position in which to
place his own tongue and teeth and
lips that he may enunciate a sentence.
If he does not readily grasp the idea
which his teacher wishes to impart, you
NAV note him lean his head to one side,
as though the better to hear, and then
make another attempt. Sometimes it
is necessary (his hands are always prop
erly cleansed before he comes to his
talking class, in anticipation of this
emergency for his teacher to let him
put his fingers in her mouth and thus
'see" the position of her tongue and
lips. At other times she places his
| tongue and lips.
There are two things in thus learning
to talk that the pupils must learn
first, to speak the word, and, second, to
know when he has that mastered, so
that he can enunciate Understandings
for his hearers. There are now those at
the New York institute who could not
hear pistol if it were fired close to
their head, but who can yet speak as
distinctly as anyone, and, moreover
read the lips of those who speak to
| them,-N. Y. Herald,
