SPEAKING TO THE DEAF.

A Mistake Is Often Made in Trying to
Enunciate Very Plainly.
Many people, and l 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 mouth to the widest extent, they
will render the task of the speech-read-
er easier. AS matter of fact they rem
der it all the more difficult y child in
school may learn to understand teach
er who mouths his words in this man
ner, but this ability is of no value to him
when he leaves school. Indeed, perfect
ly 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 a 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-
son speaking is not aware that he is
being understood in that way. / have
in my acquaintance q young man edu-
Gated wholly Ly this method, who
travels a great deal, and picks up ac-
quaintances 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 "A who is not
considered unusually bright, yet whose
speech is clearly ineligible to strang-
ers after the first ten minutes, who is
intelligent on the topics of the day, and
whose conversational repertoire is
much larger and more entertaining than
that of many young ladies of 20 and over
that 1 have met in metropolitan society.

How the Bridge Project Looks to Papers
of Other Towns.

How the Bridge Project Looks to Papers
of other Towns.
The Cairo (W. Va. Times has this:
The Parkersburg papers are laying
awake O nights Matching up denials of
reports that the Marietta bridge will
be erected and railroad built up
through this part of the country. They
are uneasy for fear it will crowd out of
existence the proposed railroad up the
Kanawha Valley. In our opinion there
is more behind the proposed bridge and
railroad than wind, and our uneasy
neighbors will find it out. This road
would pass through the richestluineral
and timber region in the State, and by
consolidating with the c. & X. V. R. r.
at this place, would get twenty miles
of first-class roadbed. Dear readers,
the Parkersburg papers are only jeal-
GUS and they will cut no ice with the
promoters of this project.

FARMERS INSTITUTE.
The watertown Meeting Most success
full One.

full One.
RocKLANp, O., Jan. 1G.-The Farm
er's Institute held at Watertown JAN
11th and 12th was one of the best that
we have had the privilege of attending.
The speakers from abroad were Gen
eral S. II. Hurst and Mr. S. II. Todd.
Their addresses were entertaining and
educational, both being practical farm
ers. The papers read 10y home talent
were excellent and above the average
of those at former Institutes that we
have attended Arrangements were
made for another Institute to be held
some time during next winter and we
hope that we may be permitted to meet
with them at that time. 1t was estl-
mated that over 500 were in attendance
during the several sessions
Along the road over which we trav-
eled we were we'll pleased with the
outlook for the growing wheat crop,
which promises well for this time of
the year. Upon inquiry we learned
that the acreage sown is about the av-
erage of former years. The remark
was made by many farmers that had the
advance in price of wheat been few
weeks earlier larger acreage would
have been sown. The spring wheat
growers will without doubt sow largely
which may cause another over produc-
tion of the great money crops OF the
northwest. The outlook at this time is
for dollar wheat in the near future, as
it is already in the California market
and still on the upward grade.
Mrs. j. H. Houser, of Cheyenne, ar
rived at the Old Homestead (the Put
nam farm) with her two children on
the o1st inst, coming through in 10
hours. She will remain with her par
ents until March, when she leaves for
their farm in Iowa. She does not give
very fiattering accounts of Wyoming.
During the vacation the young peo-
pie gathered at the Pioneer farm be-
fore the departure or Hnldah Putnam
for her school at Woodstock and spent
the evening in progressive euchre. All
enjoyed the fun.
Truck farmers are preparing for
larger corps the coming year. Large
quantities of manure are being hauled
from Parkersburg. the ferry giving re-
duced rates for that purpose, as the
usual rates are too high to Justify haul
ing extensively. If the owners Of the
ferry can afford to reduce rates for
this purpose, why not to the crops that
are grown from the use of such eX-
pensiYe fertilizers?

Right of Way for an Electric Line Asked
by Marietta Parties.
PARKERsBURG, Jan. 16.-I. L. Dar-
row, C. NJ. Darby, and VIM. Caskey
with their attorneys Caldwell IL Nc
Dougle, were before the county court
this afternoon and asked for the priYi-
lege of using the Williamstown and
Parkersburg turnpikes to build an cleo
trio railway, connecting the twoplaces,
and ostensibly Marietta, also but this
is not stated in the petition.
They asked for 16 feet of the road on
which to construct double tracks. The
roadbed will be macademized and
graded uniformly with the road so that
wagons may cross and recross without
any trouble. They also asked to be al
lowed to erect poles along side the
road on which to string electric wires.
As far as we are able to see the pro
position is fair one and we under
stand the same company that got the
Marietta bridge franchise is directly
interested with others.
The court will pass finally ON the
request in q few days.

Geology.

The scientific beginnings of geology
are said to have been treated of in
Chinese works long before the Chris
tan era. Some degree of geological in
formation is displayed in the book of
job several passages of which have
been held to indicate an exact knowl-
edge of the different strata of the earth.
The science is treated Of by Aristotle,
Plipy, and Theophrastus. Geology did
not become what may be called an exact
science until the present century.

The area which it was proposed to take in is about 50 miles square and contains Jackson's lake aud the Th-ee Futon mouEtain peaks. It is rich in natural scenery and would, ill the opin- ion of the captain, add materially to the park s attraetiveness.

MUSIC AND MICE.
A Suggestion of Novel Trap Effect o5
 Piano Playing on Rodents.

Piano Playing Rodents.
 Truth of London suggests that as mice like music there is an independent fortune awaiting the man who will in- vent a small music box which when wound will run all night, since such contrivance would serve to call mice into traps and would be to the mice what decoy is to flock of ducks or 8 looking glass to tiger. After this sug- gestion, which Is not untrue to nature, Truth goes on to say that music that sounds out of kilter to e critics ears would also drive mice from the house. If the Truth writer had even actually seen a mouse under the influence of nu- sic, he would never have made that mis- take. Neither would he have said 'san accordion would also make the agile TO- dent desert the house as he Is said to desert the sinking ship. ? Whether mu- sic affects rats is a question not yet set tied by students of natural history.
 AS to the actual doings of mouse when listening to music. t has been ob served that the playing of piano, even the tum tum of beginner learning his first tune, will cause mice of the com mon house variety to run up and down behind the plaster of a house, causing it to rattle in way fit to disturb the most earnest student. One night half 2 dozen persons were gathered in the par tor of all Adirondack home listening to a skilled player, who, as woodsman said, .tcould make Q pianner talk, ' when it was observed that the mice were acting in an unusual manner. The ordinary conduct of mice when they hear piano music is to merely rattle the plaster, but on this night they squeaked and squealed and rattled the plaster as they had never done before. The rush of the rodents died away after tho mu- sic stopped, but it was hours before the last squeak was heard.
 One of the human listeners was boy who had some little skill as harmon icon player, and he went frequently to the woods, where, with the aid of the instrument, he succeeded in calling chipmunks, red squirrels, and on one occasion woodchuek, besides wood mice, including the deer mouse, and the smaller birds. The mice chiefly ran about the player, with now and then 8 squeak, but sometimes . low strain 1 with slight modnlations would seem t0 drive them insane, and then, without hesitation, they would run over the 1 player as if be had been stamp. The 1 squirrels wore less demonstrative
