Deaf and Dumb Teachers.

II suppose deaf and dumb asylum
is the last place to which most persons
who wish to learn a language would
think Of going" said the principal OF
one of those Institutions "Yet there
are several educated foreigners who
came here to take lessons in English.
''The reason is that a teacher in a
school for the deaf and dumb, having
to talk so her pupils AN read her lips,
learns to enunciate clearly and distinct
ly and give each word it's true value.
The foreigners say our teachers speak
so distinctly that they can acquire the
language in half the time they can
from ordinary instructors"

According to statement made by T.
Sudendorf, superintendent of dairy ex-
hibits. the dairy exhibits at the worlds
fair are to be located in the Agricul-
tural palace, which will be 500 feet
wide and 1,6O0 feet long and is now
being built in the most desirable part
of the grounds The dairy products
will be displayed in three mammoth
plate glass refrigerators, each 80 feet
long and 80 to 40 feet wide. The
working dairy will be along the Wall
of the building near the glass refriger
ators and will occupy floor space OF
about $500 square feet and will be
fitted with all the latest machinery
and appliances. Here the milk from
the dairy herds will be made up into
butter and cheese. In order that the
work in the dairy may be seen by all
who so desire the walls will be of
glass. A number Of leading states have
already applied for space, and it il eS-
pected that the state exhibits OF butter
and cheese will be the largest and most
attractive ever shown.
In the machinery line over 2C,OOc
square feet of space have been applied
for. and all the prominent manufac-
turers Of dairy and creamery apparatus
will take part.
There will also be working exhibits
of sanitary milk plants and fancy for
eign and domestic cheese and a large
exhibit of butter and cheese from for
eign countries.
Minnesota Dairy Figures.
The report issued of the state dairy
and food department shows that the
6S1 creameries of Minnesota vhicli
have been inspected during the pas.
season consume every day 5,4O0.00t
mounds of milk. The figures for the
year show that 100000 pounds OF
butter are produced by these cream
cries and sold for SIT, 100000 of which
s12, 500, 900 went directly into the peck
cts of the patrons Of the creameries.
The 6S1 creameries are furnished witil
milk by 10000 cows out Of the 91o.-
600 cows in the state.
Hard Work, but 1t Pays.
An aggressive dairyman says: DAIRY
farming is taxing business. 1t keeps
MS at home morning and evening every
day. but it makes the farm, and with
prices such as they have been OF late
it will make us II we attend to busi-
ness intelligentiy."

The Romancino Arab.

The Arab is such romancer him
self that he looks with suspicion on
every statement he cannot verify
personally. An incident, described
by the British participant in it, il
illustrates this Arab characteristic
A sheik was discussing with the
commandment of a British vessel the
points of a Turkish gunboat which
lay before them in one of the har-
bors. The Arab thought the gun
boat more powerful than that of any
British vessel he had seen. The con-
clusion he at once drew and frankly
expressed was to the effect that Tur-
KEY was a greater naval power than
Great Britain. He was shown a pic
ture of the channel feet, but that
did not alter his impression. "Thesc
are only pictures" he said. "It is
easy to make pictures.

Probably no famous bird has a small.

priced in the millinery trade. No one
knows why the varieties of this beauti,
full bird are confined to the island OF
New Guinea and the neighboriIg

other islands not far away where the
conditions would seem to be equally
favorable to their existence, but they

Must Go ON a New Tack.

Jackson is small boy of some eight
or nine years Of age, whose father is
very anxious to make scholar Of him.
Jackson's tastes do not seem to run
in the same channel, and consequently,
when the monthly report is sent home,
his average is usually in the seventies,
with conduct marked poor. Finding
that Contamination did not produce
the desired result, his father made
game of him in every conceivable man.
ner, telling him that he would never
amount to anything If he did not do
better work. His remarks on these &C.
casions became so offensive to the
child, who was rather sensitive and did
not relish the idea Of being ridiculed
in the presence of his brother and sis
ter, that he said to his father the last
time he brought home report:
Father, why do you talk to me like
this and make so much fun Of me?"
His father replied, jackson, if l
didn't know you were capable of doing
better work, or if thought you were
dumb, would never say cross word
to you about your Marks"
Last week Jackson handed in re-
port with the usual low averages, and
before paterfamillas could start in on
the usual language spoke up very
quickly and said, Father, I'm dumb"

Two Castles Under the Hammer.

Two English castles are about to
come under the hammer, each includ-
ed in the sale of extensive estates
Kingswear castle, South Devon, will
be offered this month, with several
properties in the neighborhood.
1t dates from the reign of King
John. During the civil war it was
strongly garrisoned by the kings men.
but was successfully stormed by the
army Of Sir Thomas Fairfax, early in
the year 1916. The garrison were
taken prisoners.
The Hanwell castle estate is to be
offered next month. 1t is situated in
Oxfordshire, and the sale will include
the whole of the village of Hanwell
and part of the village of Drayton,
near Banbury. This was the seat of
the Cope family, and James | was
twice the guest of Sir Anthony Cope,
the celebrated Puritan leader, who
died in 1914.

SOME BATHS THAT soorHE.
Scented Water Good for Tired Nerves
and Muscles.

Scented Water Good for Tired Nerves
and Muscles.
An 1880 bath is the very latest
thing. 1t is bath made of sweet
scented water in which there is
enough acid to be invigorating. 1t is
bath OF previous generation and it
is one which every athlete of the pres
the day should try.
To make an 1880 bath take tub
OF hot water and pour into it a quart
OF bath vinegar if one can afford it.
II one cannot indulge in this extrava-
gance, then take a pint If this is too
much, at least pour in a few table
spOonfuls.
A bath in bath vinegar is good for
the muscles. 1t drives away rheuma-
tlsm, 1t cures neuralgia, it is just the
thing for a stiff neck, and it takes
the ache out of tired bones.
A rose geranium bath is recon-
mended to those who have neuralgia
and sharp aches and pains. There is
something very soothing about the
odor of rose geranium. 1t lulls the
senses as not even violets can do.
The aromatic bath, partly ammonia,
is liked by those who feel faint. and
is the bath Of baths for the woman
with a weak heart. Let the woman
whose heart does not beat well prac-
tice walking. Let her take the walk
Ing exercises vigorously. Then let
her take a bath in aromatic vinegar
and let her finally steep her nose in a
bottle Of the vinegar, and while she
is dressing let saucer Of it stand in
the room. This is the best way to get
the full scent of the vinegar and
the best results from it.
Camphorated baths are much too
powerful for any but the sick. The
person who has sprains or bruises
can take mild camphorated bath,
but it is not a pleasant bath, nor one
which can be recommended for daily
use. Taken all in all there is moth
ing quite as pleasant l., the rose gera-
mum bath, nor one that is cheaper
A great bottle, half a gallon, Of the
scent can be made for a dollar, and
this will last long time.

The Amateur Philosopher.

vAYHAT'S the use repinirs,
w Though you're sick and sad,
While your rivals dining
And is we'll and glad?
Who knows what tomorrow
May have piled in store?
He may sit in sorrow;
You may sigh no more.
What's the use of signing
When your efforts fail?
Keep on bravely trying,
Though you're gaunt and pale.
Even as you sadly
Drink the bitter brew,
Fortune may be gladly
Hurrying to you.
What's the use of yearning
To be rich or great?
BY a single turning
Of the wheel of fate
You may rise up splendid,
Wealthy. too, and proud,
All your troubles ended,
Envied by the crowd.
What's the use forgetting
Such great truths as these?
Why sit crushed and fretting?
Rise in ecstasies!
Why those rueful glances?
Cheer up, o my. son,
In billion chances
Maybe you'll have one.

Finds Fault With Dinner and Fire,

San Francisco. Sept. 23--Michae
Moore made an unsuccessful attemp,
to destroy his family last night at his
residence, 81 Shotwell street. Moore
was frenzied with drink. Because his
dinner was not cooked to suit him, he
pulled a revolver out OF his pocket and
fired four shots through the door OF a
room where his aged father and
mother and other members OF the fam
lily were seated.
Moore then left and was arrested by
Patrolman James Doran and locked up
in the Seventeenth street police sta
tion. He recently returned from a sea
voyage and bears the reputation OF
being the black sheep OF his family.

LAND OF AGED AND INFANTS

Chicago, Sept. 2S--To an audience OF
his countrymen that filled every seat
in the Auditorium. John E. Redmond.
Irish nationalist, has uttered this warn
ling:
Our race Is slipping from Its moor
lngs-it is dying. II We are passive
and inactive Ireland will cease to be
the home of the Celt. There are more
old men and little children and fewer
lyoung men and women in that island
than In any other country on earth.
The death Of the race can only be
warded Off by acting In the living
present. We must not neglect an op-
portunity."
Then he made this prediction:
I'VE shall seize our opportunities.
Before the oldest man In this audi
ence is dead Ireland will have won
a good measure Of elf-government."
Mr.. Redmond declared he wanted to
take back to Ireland with him $500
subscribed by Irish-Americans. Fol-
lowing his plea Chairman John F. Fin
erty announced that sympathetic Chi
cago Irish already had subscribed
$4,000.
Resolutions were adopted declaring
that the certain fixed and positive de-
mand of the Irish people Is and forever
shall be home rule for Ireland" IT.
was explained that by home rule"
was meant the vesting of the govern
ment of Ireland in parliament as
sembled upon the soil Of Ireland in
dependent of alien influence.

GERMANS HAVE SOME TRo6LEs
uprisinss in Africa Call for Warlike
Preparations,

Berlin, Sept. 23.-Three officers of the
Typographical department Of the gen.
eral staff will leave here on their way
to southwest Africa September 30 to
conduct a survey and make new maps
Of the country. A detachment of the
railroad battalion, which will sail on
the same steamer will, after improv-
ing the landing facilities, take up the
construction Of a railroad line in the
rear of the army.
These steps are taken to indicate a
belief that the authorities have a long
campaign on their hands, which opin-
ion is strengthened by reports from
Cape Town Of frontier uprisings by
the natives.
