TRAINING THE DEAF.

Habits Formed in the Earliest Glasses
are of Fundamental Importance.
The first few months of the school
life are devoted chiefly to exercises for
senses still possessed by the child,
which must do the work of the missing
sense in addition to their own, and in
cultivatin in him the habits of obedi-
ence, attention and concentration, with
out which he can make no progress.
The attention on the part of the deaf
child in the classroom must be closer
than is required of hearing pupil, for
if his eyes wander from the teachers
lips he Immediately loses the connec-
ton, since his ears do not tell him what
is being said. The habits formed in
the earliest classes are of fundamental
Importance, and a great responsibility
rests upon the teachers of the lowest
grades.
Before the actual teaching of speech
the attention of the child must be
aroused, his interest awakened, the
spirit of observation, imitation and
obedience cultivated, and the senses of
sight and touch rendered alert. This
is attained by a series of Introductory
exercises nearly in the form of play.
The games are arranged to train the
sight to rapid and accurate recognition
of objects, color number, forms and
movements, and to develop in the sense
of touch swift and delicate discrim-
ination between forms. surfaces, tex
lures. weights. and finally vibrations,
The eyes must do the work Of the ears
in comprehending the speech of others.
and the tactile sense must come to the
rescue in the training and guiding of
the pupils own organs Of speech. The
ability to distinguish differences of vi
bration by touch is the objective point
of all taetile training, and the exercises
bearing directly upon this are conduct
ed with musical instruments, such as
the guitar, either and piano. and then

INDIAN AMUSEM EMF.
Performers and Native
Dancing Boys.

Professional Performers and Native
Dancing Boys.
On the whole with all his sternness, I
think a Khyberi has much greater
sense of fun and capacity for laughter
than the milder Hindu. In every group
of villages there is a band of perform
ers, not unlike the village MINISTRIES of
years ago. At Parachinar, in the XII
ram valley, by the kindness of the Off
Ger on special duty stationed there, I
was enabled to see Cuttack dance,
given by local tribe, with an addition
al recitation and musical entertainment
of the dhooms, or professional troupe,
of the neighborhood For the perfor-
nance about sixty young men turned
out in white garments, with long skirts,
armed with tulwars to show to us Fer
ingl1is what the old war dance was like.
1t used always to take place the night
before an attack was made, in order to
raise to sticking point the courage of
the warriors; but now, with other times
and other manners it is reserved for
the religious holidays and the tamasha.
This particular night it was bitterly
cold under the shadow of the snow
mountains. and neither spectators nor
performers would have enjoyed them
selves overmuch had it not been for
three roaring wood bonfires, which are
necessary part of the arrangements.
Round the biggest the dancers formed
in a circle. with the premier danseur'
and dancing boy he had with him in
side the figure. They carried the tul-
war in one hand and its sheath in the
other. When the tom-toms and fid-
dies struck up. all of them began to cir

These musicians habitually earn a
large amount in the year by attending
all the weddings and religious festivals
around and about; but the TURKS and
Bundashes, who gave us the dance, do
il mainly for the sake of social enjoy
ment.
Another picture of Pathan merry
making was afforded me as l was re
turning by drive of more than one
hundred miles, to Kohat from Kuram.
At Hungu, the overhanging hills sud-
denly seemed to break out into long
ropes of slippery flame, looking at first
like a strange sort of bush-fire. The
real state of things soon became plain.
1t was a children's fete, and for miles
around the villages all seemed on the
move, each making for itself a part of
the general illumination by means of
fiery kites and sliding lanterns. Out
lined in light, the mountains had a
weird and fairy-like beauty; and this
winter night on the Afghan frontier
convinced me that, with all his savage
nv, the Pathan has a considerable APP
probation of the seasonabIe and the
picturesque.
In regard to some of the crucial ques-
tons of social life, the Pathan idea is
strikingly primitive. Women are re-
garded as mere chattels, worth so much

Feature of Yesterdays Stock Market Was
the Reduction in the Manhattan Dividend

Feature of Yesterdays Stock Market Was
the Reduction in the Manhattan Dividend.
New York, March "a noteworthy
occurrence in the financial world to-
day was the reduction of the dividend
Of Manhattan stock from a six to a
four per cent. basis. For weeks past
the street has been flooded with rumors
that the directors intended to cut the
rate, but operators had no idea that
the management would adopt the pol
icy announced to-day. AS result Of
the reduction the stock fell about 3 per
cent, to SO, and then rallied slightly on
statements by President Gould that the
road during the past quarter had earn
ed within twenty thousand dollars of
the amount required for the payment of
the usual IL per cent.
The unfavorable report of the Mis-
souri, Pacific had a depressing influence
on this speciality, and the stock fell
from 221s to 20B. The statement shows
a deficit for the year of $1,261 ,761, an
increase of $671, 514 as compared with
the previous year. New Jersey Central
When the official income of the lie
high Valley deal was made known the
stock recovered over a point. Lacka-
wanna, Delaware and Hudson and
Reading were all somewhat firmer, the
infusion Of new blood into Lehigh VAL
ley having had a stimulating influence.
In the railway group the grangers
were held tolerably steady throughout,
but the business was on a moderate
scale.
Among the industrials Tobacco ad-
vanced sharply to 1874 on reports of
early receipts. Sugar declined point,
to 1151a, on the revival of the rumors of
unfavorable tariff legislation. Ameri-
can Spirits, General Electric and
Leather were without special feature.
The recommendation of the Western
Union executive committee to the di-
rectors, to pay the usual dividend, fail
ed to strengthen the stock, and a de-
cline to 8212 was noted. Consolidated
Gas was the weak spot in gas stocks,
and it broke over two points, to 1914.
Near the close. a demand to cover
shorts set in, under which the promi-

THE HILLS OF BERKSHIRE.

Berkshire Dinner in New York.
(To the Air Of annie Laurie. ~
The stately hills of Berkshire,
That many a bard has sung,
What ardent dreams they nourished
When you and l were young!
When you and I were young
And all of life was ours,
On the cloudy peaks of Berkshire
Rose up our castle towers!
Gone are the boys ambitions;
The maidens tale is told;
And the years loom big behind us
AS you andI grow old;
AS you and I grow old;
One quiet thought we keep

obtain four wives per head, with di-
vorce ad libitum. Consequently,
fair lady is, in a double sense, a valua-
BILE possession. In the recent records
of the local court of justice are some
telling illustrations of custom and
practice. In one case a villager sued
his neighbor, because he had, accord
ing to tribal law, the first claim to the
hand of his deceased brothers widow,
being the eldest surviving male rela-
tive; but, wise in his generation. he
had waited for her remarriage in order
to obtain legal damages; and he got
them. Another man had formally
mortgaged his two daughters to acredi-
tor, who did not himself want them in
marriage, but, as the mortgage had
not sold them and they had escaped
him. he claimed compensation from
their husbands in lieu of foreclosure.
This contract was, however, not held
binding by the court. Time after time
it appeared that man dying, not pos
sessed of other property, had settled
upon his wife and their mother his
surviving daughters who would other
wise have been seized by his male rela-
tives. Thus being in settlement, they
would, in due time, be sold in marriage,
bringing to the widow small fortune,
better late than never, Divorce is usu-
ally a matter of bargain between the
husband, who is Kidding himself of his
wife, and the correspondent, or other
person, who wishes to remarry her.
Practically, it amounts to a sale on fair
terms. In many instances the loss of
the lady is notso much insisted on as
the loss of the gold and silver bangles
that she was wearing, and the damages
are assessed accordingly.-Londo Tel

DYNAMITE OUTRAGE.
Attempt to Blow UP n Bank Building nj
Hollidaysburg, Pa


Hollidaysburg, Pa. Feb. Am at
tempt was made early Monday morning
TO blow up the bank building lately oc-
cupied by the firm Of Gardner, Morrow
& Co., private bankers. The building
Is located in the center of the business
portion of the town. A stick Of dyna-
mite was forced under the front door
of the bank and then set off. An ex-
plosion like a roll of thunder followed.
The windows of every establishment
en- the square were shattered by the
force of the concussion, the sound being
heard in all the surrounding towns.
The bank door was burst open and
the entire floor torn up. No damage
was done to the bank vault or to the
books whatever. On the opposite side
of the street from where the explosion
occurred the front Of the First National
bank, Frank Glessner's store, the resi-
dence of Charles Vowinckel, Major ;.
G. Barr, Mrs. Elizabeth Christy and
DIR. James d. Humes, Stiffier's millin-
ery store. and Goldman's clothing store
were all damaged by the shock, every
plate-glass window i'm the stores being
demolished.
The dynamiters performed their work
while the night watchman was at the
other end of the block. The motive for
the crime is ascribed to resentment and
hatred of some depositor. The bank
failed last September. An assignee was
appointed and Ii was found that the
assets were insufficient to pay 20 pei
cent. of the indebtedness. The police
| think they have a clew.

sincerely hope Mr.. Eckels may see
his way clear to the retention or his

pointment at the proposed amendment

The Globe remarks: The amendment
excludes every question Of real import
