But ONCE.

We pass this way but once, deal heart,
Musing about the birch logs flare,
The booming OF the mighty mart
Borne to us through snow-laden air,
Our talk is of life's little day;
Between us and the embers' glow
A phantom wavers, spent n gray,
The year that died awhile ago
We pass this way but once. The seeds,
From lax or heedful hands that fall,
win yield their kind. Lush, noisome weeds.
Our wild remorse cannot recall;
Sweet herbs OF grace and goodly grain,
We idly strew or plant with prayers;
Others will reap. for loss or gain,
And, cursing us. will burn our tares.
We pass this way but once. Though hard
And steep the climb through binding
heat
And cruel frost and sharp the shard
'Gainst which we dash our hurrying feet,
Our toll and hurt leave scanty trace:
a bloodstain on a displaced stone,
Vague lettering on a powders face,
Perchance the echo of a moan.
We pass this way but once. The Joy
That might be ours to-day, withheld
CAS- you nigh; daily with a toyO,
Changes like fairy-gold of ED.
To withered leaves that mock u tears.
The love denied, he hope DELAYED.
Whate'er the wealth of future years,
Remain, for aye, n debt unpaid.
With thy true eyes on mine, dear heart,
As at the margin of the sea
Which thee and me one day must part,
Forgive all that / would not be.
Assoil thou me, while cast out
Dark fancies that have wrought me pain
Let loves strong faith zeal down weak
doubt.
We shall not pass this way again.

TO TALK TO EVERYBODY.
Deaf Mutes Want the Sign Languages

Deaf Mutea Want the Sign LAhsuHS'

People who ars prone TO use sym.
nathetic remarks in speaking OF deai
mutes may be very much surprised 10
know that it will not be a great while
before these mutes are looked upon as
n yery fortunate class of people In
deed. there is a serious thought OF COM
pelllng everybody in the land to learn
the language of the deaf. It's strange
language, too, about which the orul'
nary citizen understands very NIUE
even though he believes he knows So
much.
There is q wide difference between
the sign language and the manual al
nbabet. The latter, which is more or
less familiar to many people, is mere
" the 20 letters of the alphabet ex'
pressed by the fingers instead OF writ
ten on paper OF spoken orally
The sign language is a much more
complicated affair and its mastery en-
tails a great deal more study and prac'
tice than the average citizen cares 10
expend for that purpose. But 1t Is
the simple manual that the National
Association of the Deaf is e~ndeavorlng
TO have made a compulsory part OF the
education Of every man, woman Il
child in the country. =.
The argument used in favor OF such
legislation by the national committee
men who are lobbying for the bill is
that il will benefit in countless ways
the million or more deaf people in the
United States without in any way en-
croaching upon the time or comforts
of the other millions who are In pos
session of their hearing.
Just now the efforts Of the association
nre being directed toward securing the
introduction of the manual alphabet
into every school book, and Its being
made as much a part of the curriculum
as geography or arithmetic. Children
ore quick to learn it, they say, I'M by
deyoting Il few minutes each day to its
study under u competent teacher may
become proficient in its use In n shor'
space Of time.
As an incentive to the learning OF the
alphabet by adults, the ASSOCIATION
makes 1t known that all its members
will hereafter give preference in al
cases to merchants who are able tc
talk to them in their w language
This rule will not be confined to the
deaf only, but to all members OF then
families and to as many friends ant
a%couaintances as the afflicted ones may
he able to influence. As this fact has
| already been made known to merchants
In many sections, the more progressive
among them have begun to learn tt
talk on their fingers, and it is not al
uncommon thing in the west, where
| the movement started, to see a digni
fed business mar practicing the new
language with some equally u~p-to-dat'
acquaintance whom he has met on his
way downtown to business.
The custom, it is expected, will sooT

RlssIA's "DlsPENsARY" SYSTEM
Monopoly of the Sale of Spirits by 'ht
Crown.

NOlODotN Vi thN
Crown.
The extent of the system of monop
DIV of the sale of spirits by the crown
in Russia is described by our consul
general at st. Petersburg in his last re
port. The SYSTEM was first introduced
in 1898 in the provinces OF PERM IA
Orenburg and Samara, and was extend
ed from July 1, 1896, to Bessarabia, No.'
hynia, Ekaterinoslav, Kietf. Podolia
Poltava, the Taurida, Kherson and
1chernigov. TO these provinces tho
system has been applied, with some
notifications, which local peculiarities
and conditions have necessitated. The
notifications consist principally in the
acquisition by the government OF corn
brandy from small brandy distillers.
whereas in the four eastern provinces
such purchases were confined to large
distilleries. Moreover, brandy distilled
from grain and potatoes will be ac-
quired by the government in preference
TO that obtained from the residue OF
sugar made of beetroot, the brandy dis
titled from which has n peculiar taste.
which renders it rather unpalatablc
1t would appear that the sale of Scotch
and Irish whisky, gin, rum, %liqueurs
and other spirituous drinks, excepting
wine, beer, porter and mead, comes un,
der the operation of the new liquor
sale monopoly law and that it will rest
with the ministers of finance and the
interior to issue or withhold licenses
for the sale of these to private individ,i.
ais. The ordinary r brandy, Or
vodka, of the country in its various
forms is, under the new regulations,
sold from shops and depots maintained
by the government, which, however, as
in the case of spirituous drinks of for.
eign origin, reserves to itself the right
of allowing private dealers, such as gro.
GERS, etc, to scllvodka, and the right OF
doing so will be granted only to persons
who may be considered thoroughly
trustworthy, From July l., 1897, the
monopoly will be extended to the prov.
inces of wilma, Vitebsk, Kovno, Minsl,,
Moghileff and Smolensk, and from Jan.
nary l, 1898, a further extension of the
system will embrace the provinces of

Pictures Taken of Moving Animals with
Perfect Success.

Although what may be termed the X
ray craze has in a great measure abated,
experiments are being quietly prose
cuted in many laboratories with a view
to widening the range of utility al
ready suggested by Prof. Roentgen's
discovery. In one lew experiment in
Germany, the human body was submit
ted to the action of the rays through an
apparatus of special design, which Ell
abled spectators to clearly observe the
action Of the diaphragm, heart and
stomach. Another interesting demon.
stration was made in England, where
the Roentgen rays We're applied to liv'
ing animals without anaesthetics,
particularly for diaglostic purposes,
Where photographs of living animals
are ordinarily taken, the subject has to
be kept still, either forcibly or by
anaesthetics, but in this case the ami.
mails were moving when the pictures
were taken. The first application Of
the rays was made to two horses knees,
one of which was broken-kneed; two
excellent radiograms were obtained,
which clearly showed the difference in
the two cases. These results promise
to be of great service to the veterinary
surgeon, as such an application of the
N-ray to moving objects promises to dc
away with the extreme tediousness
and difficulty Of keeping the subject
perfectly quiet during prolonged ex'
posture. Although in this instance, the
horses moved freely about during the
time they were photographed, the lines
of the picture were perfectly sharp.
The scientist who conducted the ex-
pertinent says that although he would
scarcely yet undertake to successfully
Photograph a vicious horse galloping
around a paddock, he will guarantee
that the spinal column of a circus horse
as it trots around the arena can be dis
tinctly reproduced in an X-ray picture

system to make a series of photographs

is expected, be placed on the market
