TRAINING THE DEAF.
Habits Formed Ia the Earliest Glasses Are
OF Fundamental Importance.

OF Fundamental Importance.
The first few months Of the school life
arc devoted chiefly 60 exercises for the de-
yelopmcnt and training Of those senses
still possessed by the child, whiGh must
do the work Of the missing sense in addi-
ton To their own and in Gultivating i'm
him the habits of obedience, attention and
concentration, without which no can make
no progress. The attention on the part Of
the deaf child in the classroom must be
closer than is required of IA hearing pupil,
for If his eyes wander from the teacher =
lips 10 Immediately loses tho connection,
since his ears do not tell him what is he
ing said. The habits formed in the earli-
est classes aro Of fundamental Importance
and great responsibility rests upon tho
teachors Of the lowest grades
liefOrc tho actual teaching of speech the
attention of the child must be aroused, his
interest ow":,:cnc'. .L.c spirit Of observa-
ton, imitation and obedience cultivated,
and the senses of sight and touch rendered
alert This is attained by series of intro
ductory exercises nearly In tho form OF
play. The games are arranged TO train
the sight To rapid and accurate recognition
of objects, colOrs, number, forms and
movements and tn develop in tho sense of
touch n swift and delicate discrimina-
ton between forms, surfaces, textures,
weights and finally vibrations. The eyes
must do the work Of the ears In compre
bonding the speech of others, and the tao
tile sense must como to the rescue In the
training and guiding of tho pupils OWL
organs of speech The ability To distin
guish differences of vibration by touch Il
the objective point of all tactic training
and the exercises bearing directly upon
this are conducted with musical instru
ments, such as the guitar either and piano

several seasons was in the habit of night

her husband dexterously threw knives
around her until she was pinned in so that
she could not move from her position,
when the slightest deviation from his
wonderful skill would have meant that
one OF the knives would pierce her flesh
and doubtless kill her.

are thousands of cases of the kind, and
they are taking place every day right be-

that we do not realize the truth when we
see the several acts performed.

words as follows:

the performance one night and did not 60

Genuine Hospitality.

"Talk about hospitality" remarked a
broken down actor, 1.-THE place to find 1t Is
In the far west. The last time l was out
there we were playing Uncle Toms Cab
In, with real mule. We played to fair
business and paid our bills until we reach
ed Red Bluff There the owner of the
opera house had piano for an orchestra,
and 1t stood just below the stage. When
the mule came on, some one in the audi
ence got funny, and, throwing lariat
around the neck of the animal, pulled him
off the stage. The mule and the piano
got mixed up, which ruined the orchestra
and when he got away from the piano the
mule kicked down one of the boxes before
he walked through one of the seats TO
where the fellow with the lariat wanted
him. had IA mouth organ, with which
went on with the orchestral accompani-
ment, and we closed the play with the fell
low that captured the mule riding him
around the opera house.

The Abolition of slavery.

In the first place, the citizens of all the
southern states have been affected In more
WAYS than they imagine by that defunot
institution of slavery, of which many OF
them have no personal knowledge They
are likewise affected today by the fact that
they are brought into perpetual contact
with free alien race, TO whom they are
theoretically bound TO allow legal and po-
litical rights, hut TO whom they cannot al
low social rights without the risk of dis
integratine their own civilization. They
are further affected by the fact that In
every locality and grade of society men
and women are to be found who represent
an old order of things, who inculcate So
cial and political principles alien to Amer
lean ideals and who seek In every way 10
foster sentiments that favor southern seq
regation and that antagonize the unity
ing forces at work in the rest of the ma
tion
They are affected finally by the fact that
the dominant political party for many
wears practically treated them as citizens
of section and by its legislation welded
them into compact mass OF taxpayers
who, rightly or wrongly, regarded them
selves as tribute payers, The generation,
then, that has built up the south OF TO-DAY
is united by ties of sentiment and Interest,"
which, while not strong enough to endan-
Ger the permanence of the Union, are
strong enough TO have overcome till now
the forces that make for divergence ana TO
warrant the critic and historian In speak
ing of a southern people heterogeneous In
managers, but homogeneous In ldea.-W'
p Trent in Atlantic.

One of Mr.. Moody's Anecdotes.

"a woman once came to me and told
me that she was unable to pray" writes
Dwight l.. Moody in The Ladies' Home
journal. again and again she had tried
to offer up petitions to God, but it seemed
as though there was no comfort in her
prayers. Every time she started to pray
there came before her mind five bottles OF
wine which she had stolen. She then ex-
planned to me how number of years be-
fore she had been employed by gentle
man as housekeeper and had on several &C.
casions stolen bottles of wine from his cell
lar. told her that she must confess her
sin and make restitution. But the old en-
ployer was dead and she did not know
what to do. Then l advised her to find
some one who represented his estate and
give to the representative an equivalent
for what she had stolen. A few days later
l again met her and learned that at last
she had found peace and rest. She had
made inquiry and found that her employ
er's son had succeeded to the old home. and
To him she made confession. She insisted
that he accept "a sum of money equivalent
to what she had taken from his father,
which he at first refused. But she persisted
that he should and thus relieve her con
science of the burden that she had so long
carried. She was new woman after that
time and learned the JOY of having "A con
science void of offense toward God and to-
ward men.
