Sta m mering Children,

Stammering is so much on the in
creas in Germany that in the German
schools a special course of instruction
has been started for children SO af-
fiicted. in Berlin six specialists, en-
gagged by the Board of Education, de-
vote twelve hours a week to this work.
One and a half per cent of all the
school children In Germany stutter. AS
in nearly all cases the difficulty in
speaking arises from a peculiar nerv-
III condition and is not due to any
physical malformation, the specialists
are confident Of being able to cure
nearly all the cases which they find.
The system Of cure consists largely in
making the child sSeak slowly, in
teaching him how to properly use his
lips and tongue in forming words, and
in correcting his nervousness. That
stammering can be cured has been real
lied since the time that Demosthenes
walked by the seashore declaiming
with a pebble in his mouth. It is a
little singular that the Germans, who
have been supposed to be a race rather
lacking | n nervousness, should sudden
ly develop into a nation OF Sufferers.
Perhaps the strenuous life into which
the Emperor has plunged the country
has been a little too much for its nerv.
u system.-New York Press.

As TO AGE OF EARTH AND MAN.
Compiler Social Conditions Existed Seven
Thousand Years AGO.
cd Seven


The question Of the antiquity OF the
earth and of man has caused no end
of discussion among scientists. Tbs
biologists have figured themselves
into a disreputable state. They have
gone OF adding ciphers to their esti-
mates until they have caused all other
scientists to revolt. They are them
selves abashed when they contem-
plate the results Of their own enthu.
siasm. The anthropologists, who have
made a study Of the characteristics OF
the human race on scientific lines,
have been more moderate in their cal
culations, but they can come to no
agreement. The most modest admit
that man existed and had reached a
complex social condition at least sew
enty centuries ago.
Stunning that It required thousands OF
years for the race to achieve the social
conditions which are revealed by the
lettered tablets of 5000 g.. G. The
ruins of an extensive system of water
works afford presumptive evidence
that there was a hustling business
community at Babylon. for people who
do not hustle cannot pay plumbers
bills. The tablets prove the use OF
a printing press and OF a revolving
cylinder with raised type.-Baltimore

Genius In the Culinary Art rs In Other
Things.
In a recently published book o cul-
mary art DR.. Lemaunier, a physician
OF Paris, gives several interesting
items regarding well-known chefs.
He mentions the melancholy death OF
Trompette. the celebrated cook to b
Duke of Noailles, who, in a tit Of am
bition, deserted his aristocratic master
for the luxurious but plebeian kitchen
of Gambetta. He never forgave him
self this base and sordid action. and
died in a state of melancholy. After
Trompette comes a long list of Illus
trious men who have raised French
cookery to its well-deserved reputa-
ton.
The Maison Doree gives $4,000 a
year to Casimir Moisson; the Baron de
Mohrenheim had in his kitchen two
brothers, the Fauvets, who never sep
arate; the Duchess OF Alba, cousins OF
Empress Eugene. has for her chef

a year; he is an Alsatian OF the name
| of Krantz and enjoyed such privileges
under Alexander ii. that he was al
lowed to carry a sword, and, what Is
more, to retain his French nationality.
The cook of the King Of the Hellenes
took all his degrees in the university,
but in 1858. carried away by his love
OF the art. he entered as cook in the
Comte de Chambord's house, whence
he passed into the kitchen OF the
Duchess of Parma, the mother Of the
Princess OF Bulgaria.; and he
caters for the palates Of the royal FAM
lily OF Greece.
Chevalier, who learned his art al
the Jockey Club, under the celebrated
Jules Gouffe, began his career In the
royal house of Sweden and is now
with that of Roumania.
