HEARING BY SIGHT.
A New System of Lip Reading That
II Meeting with Much Favor
Here and I'm England.

The latest method by which deaf peo-
pie can communicate with their fellow
beings is the hearing by sight," a
science better known as Zip reading"
The system has been introduced into
England and America, and has met
with much favor by those who have
had an opportunity to test its value.
says the New York Tribune. An Eng
lish expert in this line of instruction
has stated that lip reading can even be
practiced with facility by the blind,
who become expert in the art. The in
dividual learns to understand what is
said by watching the lips of the speak
er. and the blind accomplish this by
holding the fingers lightly over the
mouth of the speaker, whose CONVERSE
tion they can readily follow This is
one system practiced by Helen Kellar,
who is deaf and blind, and until taught
by Miss Sullivan to articulate was also
dumb.
Lip reading, speech and writing are
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 endeavors to forget
any previously used systems of COM
munication and gives undivided atten-
tion to lip reading. The speaker does
not need to expend any extra effort to
speak distinctly in order that the deaf
person may follow the motions of the
lips, and exaggerated attempts to pro-
nounce carefully result in grimaces
that hamper the hearers efforts to
understand what is being said.
Those who are placed under instruc-
tion during their youth acquire the
system with much greater facility than
pupils of maturer years.
The claim is made that hereafter the
deaf who have studied lip reading will
be enabled to mingle freely in society,
and with one exception that the per-
son who is ''hearing by sight" must
face the speaker, no bar to intelligent
conversation on the part of the deaf
will exist.

it would be to lie there just little
while and rest and dream. For he die
dream-this poor, bent, toil-scourged
clod. From the elevated spot where he
stood he could see field after field OF
corn and cotton and yellowing grain
spread broad and fair in the June sun,
shine. Back there in the dilapidated
gray house a wealth of old books lay
hidden away in hooks and corners
Many of these he had read, spelling
them out in the slow painful fashion
taught in the village school. And
among them he found, now and then
old papers between whose faded lines
he could read how his forefathers had
wrought in the old days, how all these
broad lands, as far as the eye could
reach, had once been theirs, how they
had lived, and how in troublous times
they had ridden forth to battle from
the open doors of the old mansion,
whose battered columns, long since
bereft of plaster, looked out like rain
bleached skeletons upon the one field
left of all its broad domain. As for
the rest, the gray gravestones beneath
the cedars told it all.
He had read the inscriptions a hun

themselves before him upon the back
ground of the hazy. heated air. Sol
diers of the revolution and of 1912
were there. His grandfather, brought
dead from the field of Churubusco. was
there. And in another place stone,
small and mean when compared with
the others, marked his fathers grave.
How well he remembered that tall, SOL
dierly figure, marked by a long scar
across the face from a saber cut at
Gettysburg, and limping because rifle
bullet--a relic of the Wilderness, was
still in his leg.
There were other gravestones-of
lawyers and lawmakers, whose names
are written high in the old-time annals
of the state, but these did not appeal
to him, save to intensity the realiza-
tion that 'Ichabod' was written on
the pillars of his house-that glory had
departed his name and his race. His
learning was small and he could do
nothing in such pursuits. He knew
this--and then it seemed little thing
to fight with words, and to march and
countermarch with the quips and
quibbles of the law. The old books in
the garnet said little of such things.
