Glass Passions Tn France,

In France . government always does
wrong to rely solely Tor support upon the
exclusive interests and selfish passions of
one class. This can only succeed with ma
tions more self Interested and less vain
than ours. With us, whom a government
esta blished upon this basis becomes un-
popular, it follows that the members Of
the very class for hose sake 1t has lost It's
popularity prefer tie pleasure of traduc-
Ing 10 with all tlv world to the privileges
which 1t assures them. The old French
aristoc racy, which was more enlightened
than our modern middle class and pos
sessed much sreater esprit de corps, had
already given the same example lt had
ended by thinking 1t a mark of distinction
20 run down its own privileges and by
laundering against tho abuses upon which
it existed. That is why i think that, upon
The whole, the safest method Of government
for us to adopt i'm order TO endure Is that
governing well--of governing in the inter-
est of everybody. | am bound to confess,
however that even when ono follows this
courso 1t is not very certain that one will
endure for long. .-Reccllections OF DE

Here are two stories concerning the arch
bishop of Canterbury. The first DIR. TEN
pie tells Of himself He entered during q
popular service in an east end church ont
night, and standing In back pew Joined
in the singing Of q Moody and Sankey
hymn. Next to him stood a wofkingman
who was singing Justify in tune. The
bishop sang Justify also, but not in tune.
The workingman stood the dissonance as
long as he could, and then, nudging the
bishop, said in q whisper: Here, dry up,
mister. You're spelling the show"
The second story is less authenticated.
It dates back to the Exeter days of DIR.
Temple, when he was suspected of hetero.
doxy. A young ourate came to him one
day and said, I" My lord, it is rumored that
you are not able to believe In special inter
positions of Providence on behalf OF GER
tain persons" "Wellp' grunted the
bishop. "Well, my lord, here Is the cast
of my aunt. My aunt journeys to Exeter
every Wednesday by the same train and In
the same compartment of the same car
riage invariably. Last Wednesday she felt
q disinclination to go. and that very day
an accident occurred by which the car.
riage Of the train in which my aunt would
have travelled was smashed to pieces. Now,

depce on behalf Of my ann2" Cant

that they are on the same footing as hear

Is never perfectly natural, and they can
never take part In general conversation as
those In the possession Of their hearing.
The orally educated deaf are found in
many Of the callings of life, such as jour
nalism, civil engineering, architecture, de-
signing, business and the trades. They
have written for publication oil various
subjects In q clear forcible and interesting
style. But am not aware that any OF
them have ever attained literary promi-

closed to them. They appreciate the beauty

quently quick to catch the rhyt thm of mo-
tion and are fond of dancing, the rhythm
and swing of words seem to escape them.
There has been, think, but one deaf poet
and his poems were chiefly remarkable In
the light OF his infrmity.
So much for the most conservative view
On the other hand, there are many deaf
people In this country who have acquired
all their speech and speechmaking by in
struction after becoming deaf, who &C
into society, entertain In their homes and
are entertained In the homes Of others as
freely as any members Of the community.
There are many with whom a stranger
might talk for an hour without suspectinR
that they were deaf, accounting for their
slight popularity Of speech by supposine
all the time that they were foreigners.
Methods are beiJ.g constantly improved,
and it is to DO expected that still better re-
suits will be obtained hereafter. Mean
while experience has demonstrated that by
the use of speech as medium Of instruc
tion the deaf can be successfully educated
and taught to speak and understand the
speech of others, and believe the time IL
coming when this will be the only way In
which they are taught.-John DuttoL
