A Pathetic Incident,

day, "but none of them ever awoke SO
much sad sympathy as one which Pro-
fessor Gallaudet related. The professor

Diet asked him if he knew the story of
George Washington and the cherry tree.
With his nimble fingers the little one
said he did, and then proceeded to re-
peat it. The noiseless gesticulations
continued until the boy had informed
the professor of the elder Washington's
discovery of the mutilated tree and of
his quest for the mutilator. when
Georges father asked him who hacked
his favorite cherry tree, signaled the
voiceless child. George put his hatchet
in his left hand Stop interrupted
the professor. Where did you get your
authority for saying he took the hatohet
in his left hand?' why, responded the
boy. he needed his right hand to tell
his father that he cut the tree. %

The machine is owned by the man

ample, the battleship Indiana, carrying
a crew of 400 men or more, there would
probably be found as many as dozen
sewing machines. On a third rate
cruiser, smaller vessel, such, for il
lustration, as the Detroit, there would
be apt to be four or five sewing ma

owned by sailmakers and sailmakers'

Space is valuable on a vessel, and SO
to bring a machine aboard permission
must be got from the commanding off

man in the ship would want a sewing
