DEAF CHILDREN LEARN MUSIC
Interesting Experiment.. That Have
Met with a Successful Re.
sult at Detroit.

An interesting work with deaf chill
dren is being done under the direction
of the supervisor of music in the De-
troit public schools. A class from
which the best results are obtained
consists of about six pupils. The chill
dren gather around piano, resting
their hands and in some cases their
arms upon the instrument. Soon after
a piece is started the children will be-
gin to count in correct time with the
music, catching the accentuation of
beats through the vibration of the
wood. Occasionally child would seem
to progress beyond the mere response
to time and count aloud with some APP
Proclamation to the tune, says the Buff
falo Express.
When this fact was observed by the
teacher the pupils were told to repeat
the words "baby, baby" over and over
and ut the same time lullaby was
played on the piano. In short time 1t
was noticed that nearly all the children
with whom the experiment was tried
indicated the air with more or less dis
tinctness. Still another experiment
was tried by singing the scale into thu
ear of q boy and playing 1t on the piano.
After few trials the pupil was able to
sound the notes as well as could many
children with unimpaired hearing.
These tests seem to indicate that sing
ing with some degree of accuracy may
be taught to most deaf children. If
such proves the fact n new pleasure and
new educatiye influence will come
into their lives.

"An impressed stamp, however, cut

FUNNY ENOUGH TO READ.
Description of Feminine Feeder Who
Was Cyclonic in Her De-
struotion of Food.

All men and women eat. II they
don't they won't last long, and no one
need worry Us to whether they count
for much or not. But good eaters are
usually very objectionable. By good
eaters do not mean large eaters or
greedy eaters, though may include
some of both; but mean the men and
women who enjoy what they eat and
show no disposition, either from
dyspepsia or other form Of indigestion,
to quarrel with their food, says John
Gilmer Speed, in the Criterion.
Gluttons, however, are not very love-
ly. sat at q table once with a woman
at summer resort, who, every day for
dinner, ate 10 ears of corn from tho
cob. That is more than the regulation
midday feed for horse. And in the
operation she creased her hands, and
her cheeks; and every now and again
her nose was decorated with the we'll
buttered grains. She was sight, and
ct the end of the table she bred FAM
ine that 1t took two walters to relieve.
And she was in repose not by any
means bad-looking woman; but in
action-in action at the table she was
hnd Of human cyclone, leaving DESC
lation in her path. She had had three
husbands, and is q widaw again. What
became of the poor men never knew.

ENGLISH OFFICERS KILLED.
Not n. Special Mark. of the Boer. a.
Has Been Commonly
Supposed.

The men carried nothing but their
arms, their water bottles and water
proof rug and blanket for each. The
officers were similarly equipped. says
Scribner's, actually carrying rifles, SO
that they can be in no way distin-
guished from the men. Something
must be done to reduce the terrible
mortality of officers experienced in the
first two fights in Natal. In reality the
high percentage of officers killed is due
to the fact that they must of necessity
expose themselves more than the men
under their command, and with the
enormous amount of lead poured into
an advancing force by the modern mag
azine rifle the officers, who are stand
ing up to direct their men, run tre-
mendous risk of being hit. In small
skirmishes, however, it is possible that
the good rifle shots on either side can
pick their men carefully, SO that the
absence of distinctive mark may
prove to be of value to officers. In any
case, there can be no harm in making
the experiment of arming them with
rifles, though In the long run their
losses are not likely to decrease to any
extent.
1t is one of the myths of war that
the enemy pick off officers, just as 1T is
common legend that the enemy,
whether he be Boer, Spaniard, Turk or
any other infidel, is in the habit of aim
ing at wounded men and using explo-
sive bullets,

A FLEET IN ONE SHIP.
The Great German steam.hip Deut.ch-
land and Her Enormous
Capacity.

1t is doubtful if all the vessels which
piled regularly between America md
Europe before the day of steamships
could have carried, at u lading, much
greater quantity of merchandise than
can be loaded upon II single ship which
was recently launched for the trans
Atlantic traffic. The new German
steamship, Deutschland, 10000 tons, is
in herself quite the equivalent in carry
ing power to whole fleet of vessels Of
80 years ago, says Youths Companion.
This remarkable vessel now marks
tho maximum in the competition be-
tween the transatlantic lines to pro-
duce the greatest and most successful
ships. She is the rival of the Oceanic,
launched last year ut Belfast, and
while her gross tonnage is slightly
less than that of the Oceanic, and her
length but foot and half more, her
indicated horse power is considerably
greater, and her speed is expected to
reach 90 knots an hour.
Year by year the great Transact
lantic fleet expands and becomes more
wonderful. 1t flies the flag of Britain,
of Germany, of France, of Holland, OF
Norway, and only to n limited extent
that of the United States. OF all the
vast fleet of passenger steamers regu.
larly plying between the United States
and Europe, but two were built in this
country. The question: "Why is this
SOP" can hardly be asked too often in

The "Good Old r4me..n

In reviewing 1.-THE Early Married
Life of Maria Josepha, Lady stickney,"
the London Spectator comments on
the light in which drunkenness was re-
garded at the beginning of the CEN
fury. There was christening of twins
and rejoicing among the neighbors,
tenants and laborers. "All the guests"
says Maria, "were as drunk as I ever
had the pleasure of seeing anyone"
Among the laborers, however, shat ex-
tent Of intoxication was not reached
which causes men to be SWINE" Lady
Sheffield, who received this account of
the festivities, replies: II would have
given q great deal to be present; there
is nothing love SO much as such sort
of festivities where one has the satis-
faction of knowing that one makes
ones friends happy as well as drunk"
In London, she declares, when you
give ball you affront many people,
please few, make many drunk aud
jourself miserable"

A Dan Upon Chinene.

The true purpose of a bill now before
the British Columbia parliament "for
the regulation of the length of hair to
be worn by employees in the metallifer.
GUS and other mines of British Column
bia" is said to be to save the white min
ers from Chinese cheap labor. The
bill provides that the hair shall be-
worn short in the hope that the China
men will not be able to overcome the
oriental superstition in favor of the
long queue. A former measure, which
simply excluded the Chinese, was pre-
viously passed by the parliament, but
nullified by the home government be-
cause it would tend to irritate friend
ly power.
