SPEAKING TO THE DEAF.

A Mistake Is Often Made In Trying to
Enunciate Very Plainly.
Many people, and I am sorry to say
some teachers of the deaf, fail to realize
in practice at least-that speech is not
as clearly visible to the eye as it is audi
BILE to the ear, and think that by speak
ing slowly, word by word, and opening
their mouths to the widest extent, they
will render the task of the speech reader
easier. AS matter of fact they render
it all the more difficult. A child in
school may learn to understand a teach
er who mouths his words in this man
ner, but this ability is Of no value to
him when he leaves school. Indeed per-
fectly natural, deliberate speech is easier
to understand than the exaggerated
form of articulation which people are
apt to use the moment they know they
are talking to totally deaf person.
People who depend entirely upon
their speech reading for understanding
others have requested me, when intro
ducing them to strangers, not to say
that they were deaf, because they find
it easier to read the lips when the per-

ing understood in that way. I have in
my acquaintance young man educated
wholly by this method who travels
great deal and picks up acquaintance
on the steamer or on the train just as
people do who possess all their faculties
have in mind also a congenitally
deaf girl of ID who is not considered
unusually bright. yet whose speech is
clearly Ineligible to strangers after
the first ten minutes, who is intelligent
on the topics of the day, and whose
larger and more conversational roper
tory is much larger and more entertain
ing than that of many young ladies of
20 and over that 1 have met in metro

Fractions.

Brightest children in school are In
great danger sometimes of passing over
the border line of mathematics into the
forbidden domain of common sense. A
teacher once said to her GLASS in mental
arithmetic:
Nov, boys, have q few questions in
fractions to ask. Suppose have q piece
of beefsteak and cut it into pieces. Whist
would these pieces be called p
"Halvesp' shouted the GLASS.
"Right. And if cut each half into
two piecesP"
"Quartersp'
"That is correct. And If the quarters
were each cut into half?"
"Eighths p
"Yes. And if those were chopped iu
two2"
The answers had been growing fewer
and fewer, but one boy meditated q
moment and answered: f
'Sixteenths I"
Every good. And when the sixteentha
were cut into half, what would they be?''
There was silence in the class, but
presently little boy at the foot put up
his hand.
DO you know, JohDnys Well, you
may tell me-"
Hash !" answered Johnny, confidently
and truly.

The Captain Told Him.

An Englishman, touring through
America, went on board a steamer late
one night and on the following morning,
after walking on deck and looking
around him, he stepped up to the cap
tain and asked, 81 beg your pardon, but
would you kindly tell me what lake
I'm on?''
"The Lake Huron, - replied the cap
tain and turned away.
The Englishman looked puzzled for
moment, and then, following the cap
tain, began again, 81 beg your pardon,
you said''-
"It's the Lake Huron, roared tie
captain, thinking the man was deaf
"Yes, know" persisted the passen-
ger, "but what's the name of the lake
that I'm on?'
'The Lake Huron" shouted the Cap
tain, incensed at what he thought gross
stupidity. and he turned away to relieve
himself by railing at one of the hanos.
The Englishman looked more puzzled
than ever.
''The lake you're on is the lake yoL re
on. Of course it is. The lake I'm IN
can't help being the lake I'm on. What
impertinencel Let me look in my guide
book. Perhaps that will tell me- "
1t did tell him, and then the hucior
of the situation suddenly dawned upon
him.-London Tit Bits.

GEMS.

Let no one falter who thinks he is right
To read without refiseting is like eating
J without digesting.
The deepest and most useful lives are
often the least ostentatious.
Whatever the apparent cause of any
riots may be, the real one is always want
of happiness.
Bestow the same favor on those below
thee as thou desrest to receive from those
above thee.
Nothing is more pitiful than a man
who has lost his ideals, unless it be a
nation that has lost it's ideals.
What men want is not talent, it is pur.

achieve. but the will to labor.
There Is always hope in 3 man who as-
tually and earnestly works. In idleness
alone is there perpetual despair.
The man likliest to become hopelessly
soured is the one who insists most upon
the following of his own s'sweet WILL"

Many life has been injured by the

THEY DO NOT SIT.


Some Birds That Hatch Their Eggs by
Queer Devices.
1t is we'll known that the Australian
megapod is bird that is accustomed to
sit on its eggs. In certain parts of Aus
tralia are found numerous mounds of
considerable size and height which the
first explorers took to be burial grounds.
These were made by the Megapodius
tumulus, which uses them for Matching
its eggs. They have sometimes consid-
cradle dimensions. A nest that is Ia
feet high and 90 feet in circumference
may be regarded as large.
Each megapod builds its own nest
with material which it gathers from all
sides, and these are exactly what the
gardener uses in the month of March to
make his forcing beds-namely, leaves
and decomposing vegetable matter,
which, by their fermentation, give of
an appreciable amount of heat. In the
forcing beds this heat hastens the sprout-
ing of the seeds. In the nest it suffioes
for the development and Matching of the
young birds, and the mother can &c
where she likes and occupy herself as
she wishes without being troubled by
the duties of sitting
In the small island of Ninafou, in
the Pacific, another bird has a some
what similar habit, in SO far as it also
abandons its eggs, but in place Of OBJ
tanning the necessary heat from fer.
mentation it gets it from warm sand.
The leipoa, or native pheasant of Aus
tralla, acts like the megapod and watch
es the temperature of its mound very
closely, covering and uncovering the
eggs several times a day to cool them
or heat them as becomes necessary. Aft.
er Matching, the young bird remains in
the mound several hours. 1t leaves on
the second day, but returns for the
night, and not until the third day is it
able to leave for good the paternal abode.

MY ALABAsrER BOX.
BY MARGARET r. sAHesrza.


1t was not at meat in the Pharisee's house
That sought the Lord to-day,
Nor yet in my closet hushed and fair
When lowly knelt to pray,
But carried my box of OF ntment sweet
In the face of the throngs that CHANGED to
meet
at is jeweled and precious" 1 proudly
cried,
fAnd it cost me gems and gold;
And see, shall pour it freely out.
That my neighbors may behold,
And then 1 will meekly go my way.
She has broken her box will the gazers
say"
So up and down through the busy street,
Seeking my Lord, 1 went,
My head held high and my soul on fire
With the glow of its good intent,
And presently. hard where two roads met,
Stood One whom my spirit cannot forget.
Down in the dust at His beautiful feet,
With my trailing draperies white,
cast myself with the odors sweet
W ere there angels to watch the sightf
"Lo! for Thy pleasing have brought my
best;
Take it. sweet Saviour, and give me rest"
b e stayed me then with kindly word:
"Not so, my child" said He.
Hast thou never thought OF the hidden
name
In the hands that were pierced for thee
Wou ldst thee wound the heart that broke to
save a
Thy life from the power that holds thee
slave?
"Bring hither thy pride and thy discomfort
And thy cherished and vain self-will;
Empty thy soul of Its low desires
That My love that soul may fill.
1t is not thy jeweled box crave;
l am seeking the soul that died to save.
'And never gift of precious worth
Canst thou bestow upon Me
While thou shuttest thy poorest brother out
From thy quickened sympathy,
And never in crowds and sordid show
Can My best upon thee bestow."
The vision faded the throng whirIed by;
stood in the path alone.
Then L went TO seek for the lost. the weak,
Since my blessed Lord was gone,
Wherever they need me the box break
To-day, to-day, for my Lords dear sake.
