It was pleasant day on Wall Street.
Old Trinity faced the usual bdsy crowd of
brokers, some sad, some gay. In q private
Office on the first floor of great building
gray haired man sat calmly at desk.
1t was the sort of face that stea6ies one in a
worldly atmosphere. The door r6peued, and
a man entered whose bearing indicated the
unscrupulous promoter.
He began at once:
You see, we are in seaxch of men like

There are great prospects and lots Of money.
If the thing goes through all right, there
will be handsome profit for those concern.

'sBut have not time to attend board

"Let us get down to business" said the

A young deaf and dumb couple who were
married recently, and began housekeeping
in a fiat, have found their greatest difficulty
in providing some substitute for door
bell. The door-bell already in the build
Jog they found, of course, to be entirely
useless. They consulted all their married
friends and acquantances ameng deaf.mutes
as to what to do, but it appeared that all
of them had either married persons who
could hear, or else kept servants who could,
so their experience counted for nothing.
Obviously, in the absence of the sense of
hearing, either sight, smell, taste, or touch
had to be relied on to show when visitor
was at the door.
The first idea that occurred to the couple
was to remove the bell and hang to the
.clapper ribbons that would wave whenever
any one pressed the hutton, but this would
do no good unless some one were looking at
the ribbons, and it scarcely seemed worth
while to mount guard over it at all hours.
Then some one suggested fastening phial
of oil OF peppermint or altar of roses to the
"buzzer," SO that it would spill a few drops
when it moved. The sense of taste, so far
as they could devise, could not be made
available in any way. Just at, present. a
carpenter is making for the fist sort of
sounding box, in which the vibration of the
old bell will be so multiplied as to be percep-
tibls by the sense OF feeling to the delicate
nerves of the deaf. At least, ,.tdey hope this
will prove a solution.
