The Alps VIII BE Washed AWAY.

The Alps, from a geological point Of
view, are very recent. Our Welsh hills
though comparatively speaking insig.
nificant, are far more ancient They had
been mountains for ages and ages before
the materials which now compose the
Rigi or the Pilatus were deposited.
Indeed, we may say that it is because
they are so old that they have been so
much worn down. The Alps themselves
are crumbling and being washed away,
and If no fresh elevation takes place the
time will come when they will be no
loftier than Snowdon or Helvellyn
They have already undergone enOr.
nous denudation, and it has been shown
that from the summit of Mont Blanc
some 10000 or 1900 feet Of strata
has been already removed. DenudatiOn
began as soon as the land rose above the
sea and the main river valleys were ex'
cavated. Pearson Weekly.

A Queer Coin.

Fully half Of the grown up people Of
France believe the old story that Napo-
leon Bonaparte put check for 100, 900
francs in silver franc piece and that
the coin is yet in circulation. They saw
that the people did not want the 8 franc
piece, and that in order to create de.
mand for it Napoleon resorted to the
device mentioned. The check or treas
ury order, it is said, was written upon
asbestus paper and inclosed in the met
al at the time the coin was made. Thou
sands OF 8 franc pieces are annually
broken open and have been so inspected
since the story Of the check was first cir.
culated. New York Journal.

DEAF AND DUMB.
What 1t Means to he Cut on From Speech
and Hearing.

AND nearing.
To be deaf is to be unable to hear,
and to be dumb is to be unable to talk
The lack of hearing is remedied by
teaching the child to use his eyes and
understand either signs or the motions
of the lips, and the lack of speech is
remedied by teaching the child to use
his vocal organs or his hands to make
others understand, and. behold, the task
is accomplished, and he is "just like
other folksp' Not one thought is given
to language, to the wonderful medium
of exchange by means of which the bust
ness of life is carried ON, that is sup
posed to come by nature, or instinct, or
miracle, but never by teaching.
A cultured lady, literary woman,
said to me once, after seeing some deaf
children and hearing them go through
certain vocal exercises which included
every elementary sound in the English
language: snow, if these children can
make all these sounds correctly. why
don't they go right on and talkp What
hinders them?" She was bright wom-
an, and when very short explanation
had been given her the reason flashed
upon her. and she said: "Why, what
fool am! I see! They've got something
to say, and the mechanical ability to
say it, but no language to say it in"
And in that one sentence she expressed |
the reason for being of all the institu-
lions and schools for the deaf in the
country.
"No language to say it in" that ex.
presses the condition of a deaf child's
mind before he is taught very well, but
perhaps "and no language to think it
n" should be added. Let the reader
ny for himself and see how much con-
ecutive thought he can accomplish
without words, and if with his mind
rained by years of intelligent thinking
le can do little until the words come,
ct HIN imagine, if he can, the state of
mind cat off from language. Mabel
