They Talk by Whistline.

Gomera, one Of the Canary islands, is
a small island containing about $4,000
inhabitants. 1t is exceedingly rugged
in formation, and the deep gorges and
ravines which separate its mountain
ranges are unbridged, and, therefore,
it may be necessary to travel several
miles in order to reach point only a
few hundred yards distant. There
fore, to obviate the necessity of doing

whistling language, by means Of which
tive men standing on opposite sides OF
the gorge can convey their meaning to
each other. The teeth and fingers are
used as we'll as the lips. Communica-

I believe piano tuning to be just the
thing for musical women, for It IS
generally conceded that woman's ear
is finer than mans, although one
musician of my acquaintance taxes eX-
ception to the statement. However,
say to him that fewer women than
men sing eff the key and play out Oh
tune. Piano t1ning is not hard Work-
that is, it does not require any amount
of physical exsrtion. It does require a
correct ear, a knowledge OF music ana
a degree of skill which can be acquired
from a teacher in the tuning line ike
any other trade There are many
houses where a feminine tuner would

TO note the difference in salaries paid
to men and women who do the same
work. Often the woman has family
dependent upon her, and while the
man has nobody IN the world on whom
to spend his money, yet her sex, not
her ability, debars her from earning
lis much money as the man whose desk
adjoins hers. I am rather lukeWarm
on the subject of woman's rights be-
cause I believe that in the main our
sex has a great many privileges, more
than is good for US sometimes. There
are few things in which [ could wish
an improvement, and the salary ques-
ton is one Of them. A faithful, indus

the consideration generally extended
to male employe with those same ex-

reform in that direction with the full
strength of my voice and the entire

FIRST RAILROAD IN CHINA.
Went Around the Towns Instead of

Through Them.
Mr. WI, the present Chinese minis
ter at Washington, has many amusing
stories to tell Of the first railroad ever
built in the celestial kingdom, which
was constructed under his supervision
in the province Of Tong Chong, where
Ii hGng Chang reigned as yiceroy,
says the Saturday Evening Posi- Curl
ously enough, this road was built with
out the consent Of the emperor, With
out his knowledge even, the pr jectors
realizing that they must educate their
ocuntrymen, from the highest to the
lowest, by an object lesson. The road
once in operation, they argued, the
people, understanding it was wonder
full servant of commerce, and not
great devil; that it carried freight bet
ter and quicker than the old-fashione6
way, and would bind the uttermost
parts of their kingdom together, would
no longer oppose it. It's establishment,
however was missionary work of
different character, even to so saga
though he succeeded in overcoming
the prejudice to a certain extent, he
failed utterly to gain consent that the
road should run through the towns and
villages that marked its route. No,
no." said the leading men of those
places; build your road if you must,
but keep it away from us-the farther
the better" well, WE'LL" said WI,
have it as you will. We will run our
road at a distance from your limits,
but you will regret it for all time;
and when you realize what serious
harm you have done to your own In
terests don't come and insist upon our
moving the road nearer your borders.
The railroad was hardly in operation
before the men who had opposed it be-
sought him to change its route that 1t
might come by their towns and cities;
but the management was ebdurate, and

THE QUEER cADDIcE-woRM.
ITS Miniature Log Cabin at the Bottom
of the Brook.

Perehanee during some summers
stroll your steps may lead you by a
sparkling, woodland brook. Here
pause a moment, and placing your
face close to the surface Of dark and
quiet pool, look closely at the bot
tom. Among the sand and pebbles you
will see a number of small bundles Of
sticks and little cylinders ef tiny
stones, moving about as though en-
dowed with life. II you take them
out, however, they are apparently
dead and entirely devoid of motive
power. But break them open, and you
WI find Zach one to be little tube
lined WITH soft and shining silk, and
containing a whitish eaterpillar-like
. 1arva. This, then, is the solution of
the puzzie-when the grub wishes to
. move about, he projects the forward
part of his body from the tube and
crawls around, dragging his house
] behind him. But the moment he Is
disturbed or frightened, he draws
back into his safe retreat, wherein he
remains hidden as long as danger
s threatens. You will find the little
tubes of various kinds, shapes and
sizes. Some are cylindrical made OF
Nstieks placed lengthwise, while others
ARE like log houses of straw, the pieces
being fastened crosswise. These min
iature log cabins are often decorated
with tiny snail-shell fasteEed to the
3 walls, and moreover, the shells are not
always empty. Quite often you may
lind living snails securely attached,
and thus compelled to move about at
the will Of their landlord. Other tubes
are built entirely of bits of moss and
zIeayes. The commonest forms are
those composed of little pebbles or
grains of sand. These are usually very
regular and smooth cylinders, in which
the grains are all of nearly equal size,
but among them you may frequently
IND some with several larger stones
fastened to either side in a very Curl
Gus manner. BY far the prettiest
houses of all are shaped like little
spiral shells and are composed entirely
81 almost microscopical stones.-

Hearing by Sight.

FROM the New York Tribune
The latest method by which deaf people
can communicate with their fellow beings
is the hearing by sight" science better
known as Zip reading" The system has
been introduced into England and America,
and has met with much favor among those
who have had an opportunity to test its
value. An English expert in this line of in
struction has stated that lip reading can
even be practiced with facility by the blind,
who become expert in the art. The indi-
Vidual learns to understand what is said by
watching the lips of the speaker. and the
blind accomplish this by holding the fingers
lightly over the mouth of the speaker,
whose conversation they can readily fol-
low This Is one system practiced by Helen
Keller who is deaf and blind. and until
taught by Miss Sullivan to articulate, vas
also dumb.
Lip reading. speech and writing arc
taught simultaneously by the system, and
all signs or finger alphabets are done away
with, as they have been found to hinder
progress along new lines. The pupil en-
beavers to forget any previously used sys-
tens of communication. and gives undi-
vfded attention to lip reading. The speaker
does not need to eyIend any extra effort TO
speak distinctly in order that the deaf per-
son may follow the motions of the lips. and
exaggerated attempts to pronounce care
fully result in grimaces that hamper the
hearers efforts to understand what is
being said.
Those who are placed under instruction
curing their youth acquire the system with
much greater facility than pupils of ma
turer years.
The claim is made that hereafter the deaf
who have studied lip reading will be en-
abied to mingls freely in society. and with
the one exception that the person who Is
hearing by sight" must face the speaker
no bar to Intelligent conversation on the
part Of the deaf will exist.

gentlemen were admiring the scene, the
waters rushing madly over the rapids
loaded with huge cakes of ice. The ice
was just leaving the river above, and was
bringing down all sort of debris. inclI1d.

The gentlemen watching saw destruction
coming to handsome buck, and were
Poweriess to hinder. They held their
breaths for the final plunge. The great
cake of ice rolled up. as the lower edge
tipped over the mighty cascade, but the
deer stood his ground.
He went under the water below the dam
He could not be seen for quite a. distance
