sias Of the rsseus.

The second most deadly instrument
OF destruction is the dynamite gun.
The first is the human tongue. The
gun merely kills the bodies the tongue
kills regulations and Outlines ruins
character. Each gun works alone;
each londed tongue has hundred ac-
complies. The havoc of the gun is
visible at once. The full evil of the
tongue lives all through the years.
Even the eye of Omnisciencc might
grow tired in tracing it to it's finality.
The crimes Of the tongue are words
of unkindness, of anger, of malice, of
envy, Of bitterness, of harsh criticism,
gossip, lying and scandal. Theft and
murder are awful crimes, yet in any
single year the aggregate sorrow, pain
and suffering they cause in a nation
is microscopic when compared with
the sorrows that come fom the crimes
of the tongue. Place in one of the
scale pans Of justice the evils result
ing from the acts of criminals and
In the other the grief and tears and
suffering resulting from the crimes Of
responsibility and you will start back
in amaZement as you see the scale YOU
thought the heavier shoot high in the
air.

At the hands of thief or murdarer

At the hands of thief or murderer
few of us suffer, even Indirectly. But
from the careless tongue of friend, the
cruel tongue Of enemy, who is free?
No human being can live life SO fair,
so pure, as to be beyond the reach of
malice or immune from the poisonous
emanations of envy. The insidious at
tacks against ones reputation, the
loathsome innuendoes, slurs, half lies,
by which jealous mediocrity seeks to
ruin its superiors, are like those insect
parasites that kill the heart and life
of mighty oak. So cowardly is the
method, so stealthy the shooting of
the poisoned thorns, so insignificant
the separate acts in their seeming, that
one is not on guard against them. 1t
is easier to dodge an elephant than

A School for Deaf xu,es.

A school for the education of deaf
mutes is soon to be established in St.
Paul.
Although Minnesota maintains at
Faribault an excellent school for the
instruction of the deaf, not all of the
states deaf populace avail themselves
of this public beneficence. The impedi-
ments Of deafness and dumbness are
frequently made less tolerable through
the neglect of parents and guardians
who deprive their defective children
of either mental or manual training.
To better this condition of affairs, to
place educational facilities within easy
reach of the most apathetic is the OBJ
ject of st. Mary's Society for the Deaf,
under the auspices of which the pro-
posed school will be conducted.
st. Mary's society was organized
three years ago. 1t is the single society
of it's kind in the Northwest. The en-
tire deaf community of the Twin Cities
200 in all-are affiliated with the as
ISOLATION; st. Paul's eighty deaf citi-
zens are it's active members. The So
ciety meets the second Sunday of each
month at st. Marys chapel, Ninth and
Olive streets. Its officers are Anton
Schroeder. PRESIDENT: Mrs Anton
Schroeder, secretary; Miss Anna Der.
landi, treasurer; Rev. T. J. Gibbons,
spiritual director.
Although conducted under Catholic
auspices, no member need profess the
Catholic creed in order to receive edu-
cational or social advantages offered
by the society. Only religions funda-
mental truths are eXpounded to St.
Mary's silent congregation and social
''sets' are unknown in this community
united in a common affection.
The first effort to aid the deaf in ST.
Paul was begun some eight years ago
by the Society of Nordines. an order
of Catholic women. To teach the lip
language to Il class of mutes was but
one of the many philanthropies pro-
jected by the Nordines.
But the sisterhood did not flourish
in st. Paul and was abandoned. The
mutes were again dependent upon in
dividual effort for both social and
mental advancement
1t was about two years later that
Rev. T. J. Gibbons, pastor of st.
Mary's Catholic church, organized st.
Mary's Deaf society. The organization
was the outcome of an informal gath
ering of mutes held one Sunday after
noon at st. Mary's chapel to meet
Father Gibbons.
Minnesota's deaf population mum
bers 1000 people. Among these are
artisans capitalists. inventors, the loss
of the two important faculties of
speech and hearing seeming to be but
little hindrance to progress in profess
sional Or commercial lines.

Nine Hats on 4 CONGRESSMAN,

Representative Joseph w. Babcock,
of Wisconsin. the author of the pro-
posal to remove protective duties from
articles manufactured by trusts, used
to take considerable pride in his DOW
ers as political prophet, says the
Saturday evening Post. In the cam
vass preceding the general election of
1884 he was. rs chairman of the con-
gressional campaign committee, the
center of attraction to group of
Washington correspondents whose
business it was to keep up with the
progress of affairs. One day, when nine
of these men were in his office at once,
somebody suggested that every one
present mark on Il slip of paper his
best guess ut the Republican member
ship Of the next house of representa-
tiveS
"All right" responded the congress-
man: ''and the man who guesses fur
thcst from the truth is to put up Il
supper for the whole party"
The gllesscs ran all the way from
Bahcock's 233 down to 166 marked by
Il very enthusiastic Democrat. When
the votes We're counted on election
night the Republicans were found to
number 244. The nine correspondents
all met, by what appeared like coin
cidence, ut the Babcock Headquarters
week later. Every man wore Il new,
shiny silk hat.
You gentlemen seem very resplend-
ent UP aloft," remarked Mr.. Babcock,
glancing from one head to another.
'Wherc did you get all Of those new
| hats?"
"Won them on the clection!" the
group answered in chorus.
| The words were scarcely spoken
when Il stranger entered with an en-
velope addressed to Mr.. Balrock. He
tore 1t open and drew forth bill from
one of the leading outfitters Of Wash
ington:
10 silk hats, at SS-S72.
II haven't ordered any hats from

What does this mean?"

came in a second chorus from the WIS.,

Of the correspondents, that you said
that IL your guess came nearest to the
right figures you would give us each
silk hat?"
mo, don't! 1t was agreed that we
were all to have IL supper at the OK

guess"
ooh, pshaw! you've forgotten!" was
the third chorus, uttered with n sus.
picious uniformity and rhythm, sug-
gesting rehears:ls in advance.
What could I do?" said Babcock
aftcrward, narrating the incident to n
sympathetic friend. "trhcre were nine
OF those rascnls against only one OF

mony, even in n court of law. l paid
