DENOMINATIONS Spoil tho Language.

Is tho new century now so close upon us
to SEQ revolt against the grammarians

cations of It, Here is Nj. Anatolo France,

declares boldly that what wo want is lib
crty-thc liberty of spelling Us we choose
A hundred years ago who thought OF
spelling in particular wayp 1t was u
sort OF 10 rs you please, and tho classic
works Of every country In Europe abound
in spcllings which, If they were perpctrat-
cd by the candidate at an examination Of
any sort, would inevitably result In his
being pluclcd.
Even those great cpistolary writer's
Nine du DoifonS and Nine dc Scvigno,
arc full of what would be considered now
adays as solecisns in the way of spelling.
NJ, Francisquc Sarcey, the critic, comes to
the aid of NJ. Franco and declares that tho
grammarans have spoiled the language.
Language Is constantly in transition
state, yet the grammnrians conflnc 1t
within their narrow rules, and thus pro-
nunciation and spelling get to differ more
and more. In competitive examinations,
says NJ. Sarcoy, spelling should be ignor-

ORAL TEACHING FOR THE DEAF
What Has Bcen Accomplished by This
System of Instruction.

The public is always interested In re-
suits. What, then, is conservative stato-
mcnt Of tho results obtained by tho oral
method aside from tho general education?
1t gives to those deaf from infancy speech
that Is intclligiblo to their immediate
friends and in varying degrees to stran-
gers. 1t enables them to understand con-
versation on ordinary topics wherever tho
lips aro clearly visible 1t restores them to
tho society Of their fellows in very much
larger measure than Is possible without
speech and speech reading. l do not claim
that they are on tho same footing as hear
ing people. They cannot be- Their speech
Is mover perfectly natural, and thoy can
never take part In general conversation as
those in the possession of their hearing.
Tho orally educated d,sf are found In
many of the callings of life, such ms jour
nalsn, civil engineering, architecture de-
signing business And the trades They
have written for publication OH various
subjects in clear, forciblo and interesting
style. But l ain not aware that any Of
them have ever attained literary promi-
nonco. The realm Of poetry is practically
closed to them. They appreciate tho beauty
of its expression; but, though they are fire.
qucntly quick to catch the rhythm Of mo-
ton and arc fond Of dancing, tho rhythm
and swing of words seem to escape them.
There has been, think, but one deaf poet
and his poems were chiefly remarkable In
the light Of his inlrmity.
So much for the most conservative view
On the other hand, there are many deaf
people in this country who have acquired
all their speech and speochmnking by In
struction after becoming deaf, who go
into society, entertain In thor homes and
arc entertained in tho homes Of others IA
freely as any members Of tho community.
There arc many with whom II stranger
might talk for on bour without suspecting
that they woro deaf accounting for their
slight popularity of speech by supposing
all tho time that thuy were foreigners.
Methods are being constantly improved,
and it Is to be expected that still better re-
suits will be obtained hereafter. Mean
while experience has demonstrated that Ivy
the uso OF speech as a medium of instruc
ton the doaf can be successfully educated
and taught to speak and understand tho
speech of others, and l believe tho tmo /.
coming when this will hc the only way In
which they arc taught.-John Du;ton

Thirty years ago Mike Hogan, n mote

thoroughfare. He drove II horse car. He
was sober and industrious, and soon be-

never had any accidents. His conductors
never Ind 10 write reports, and on this nc.
count he became very popular with tho
men who work on the rear Platform. An
other thing that soon attracted attention
was that Hogan never lost any time. No
one ever heard OF Hogan being ''jumpcd"
for being late or staying away. He never
reported sick One day about n year after
he began work II was whispered around
the depot that Hogan had been married.
Surely no won't appear today" said
one of the mon, but when the time arrived
for Hogan car to 30 out he was there
When asked about the marriage, he smiled

Up to the time electricity was intro
duccd on the road Hogan continued to
work, never losing day In all th3so
years Even during the blizzard Hogan
was one o. the few mon who worked.
While others sat around tho stove in the
station, he took a shovel and helped clear

Tales of Temple.

Hero arc two stories concerning the arch
bishop Of Canterbury. The first Dr. Tenn
ple tells Of himself He entered during a
popular service in an east end church one
night, and standing in u back pew joined
in tho singing Of Moody and Sankcy
hymn. Next to him stood workingman
who was singing Justify in tunc Tho
bishop sang Justify also, but not in tune.
Tho workingman stood tho dissonance as
long rs he could, and then, nudgins the
bishop, said in whisper: Here, dry up,
lister You're spelling the show.
Tho second story is less authenticated
1t dates back to the Exeter days Of Dr.
Temple, when he WAS suspected of hetero-
doxy. a young curnto came to him ono
day and said, My lord, it is rumored that
you are not able TO believe in special intor-
positions of Providence on behalf of cor
tain persons. "Well?" grunted the
bishop. "Woll, my lord, hero is the case
of my aunt. My aunt journeys to Exeter
every Wednesday by tho same train and in
the same compartment Of tho Same car
riage invariably. Last Wednesday she felt
disinclination to go, and that very day
an accident occurred by which the car
riage of the train in which my aunt would
have travelled was smashed to pieces Now,
was not that Il direct intcrposition of Provi'
dence on behalf of my aunt" Can't

Besides mon understood very little about
the strange happenings in the world

plain these mysteries. 1t is not remark
able then, that so late as Columbus time
his sailors did not Mt all like to think Of
sailing westward into the unknown ocean
full of fabulous creatures and magic hap
penings. Even with all that wise and
studious men have learned since there is
enough to no met with in u long ocean
voyage to excite wonder and alarm.
Sailors may SEQ auroras, the strange
northern lights, tho cause of which Is
even now littlo more than guessed at.
They may be surrounded by waterspouts,
which are not entirely explained as yet.
They may meet tidal-that Is, earthquake
waves, that rise from 30 to 60 feet, or
even more, above the surface. They may
be amazed by st. Elmo's fire, the spar
king flames that play about masts and
rigging. They may behold lightning in
globe form, sheet flashes or forkod bolts.

phorescence that has but lately been traced

mental side OF history will accept tho yer
sion that tho hero of tho ballad was n
young and handsome Irish surgeon, who,
finding his way into London society about
the middle OF the last century, was for
;unato enough to secure the affections Of
Lady Caroline Keppel, daughter of viii
liam, second car! Of Albomarle, and his
wife. Lady Ammo Lcnnox, daughter Cf
charles first duke of Richmond. The
match was naturally looked on with dis
.avor by the family Of the young lady, and
t was during period Of temporary scpa-
alton that Lady Caroline is said t. have
written the words of robin Adair" and
set them to tho old irish tune of Eileen
Aroon," which shc had learned from her
lover
At length, however love triumphcd,

Within few days Adar was appointed
Inspector general of the military hospitals
