DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND.
Remarkable Pupil at the Institute at
Cedar Springs.

Superintendent of Education Mar
tin, who has just returned from the
meeting of the Board of Trustees Of
the State Deaf, Dumb and Blind In
stitute, at Cedar Springs, tells of
remarkable pupil now enrolled at the
institution. The wonderful things
which the afflicted are able to learn
under the instruction Of Prof. Walker
and his assistants are familiar to all
who have any acquaintance with the
history of this institution, but 1t is
stated that young Dewey Hobson
Cantrell Is the most remarkable pupil
who has ever been admitted to the
institution, He is, as his name indi-
Gates, only nine years Of age, having
been born in the memorable summer
Of 1898, and he Is deaf, dumb and
blind. Afflicted like the world-famous
Helen Keller, an experienced teacher
Of the afflicted, who recently visited
the Cedar Springs institution, de-
clares that the brain OF Dewey Hob
sor Cantrell Is superior to that OF
the wonderful young woman from
Alabama.
Dewey Hobson Cantrell is the son
Of parents living in Spartanburg
county, persons of fairly good means
and intelligence. He was born with
the triple affliction he must carry
through life, but the instruction at
Cedar Springs will alleviate. 1t Is
reiated that when Prof. Walker and
DR.. Heintish, OF Spartanburg, drove
up to his home last summer for the
purpose Of seeing the child before he
was admitted 20 the institution, he
came out to their buggy, felt their
horse and then felt the two men, and
assisted in unhitching the horse;
went off after eggs and fruit, indicat-
ing that he knew they were visitors
for whom social preparations must
be made, though through none CT the
sense except that Of feeling could this
information be impaired to him.
The boy WAS taken into the school
last fall and has shown marked de-
velopment and his exhibition at the
recent commencement is said to have
created a sensation. 1t Is necessary,
as in the case of Helen Keller, that
he have a special teacher who de-
votes herself entirely to his instruc-
ton, and ne has learned very rapidly,
having acquired even the meaning Of
verbs as well as nouns, and the au-
thorities of the institution hope by
careful training to develop his rea-
soning faculties even more than those
OF Miss Keller have been developed.

Sweets and the Disposition.
(From What to Eat.

Nothing could be said in greater
praise of a people than that they
like sweets. 1t shows a wholesome.
vigorous. .healthful condition--an ap-
petite not jaded from excessive in
dulgence. The child whose appetite
has not become polluted or calloused
by false relishes, smarting sauces
and burning drinks loves sweets; SO
does the girl of bright eyes and un-
tainted youth, as is evidenced by her
fondnes for ice creams and desserts.
The young athlete among men loves
sweets nearly as we'll as does the
child. But the bar-ro:h lounger,
the cigarette fiend," the dope
fiend," and the depraved Of all other
classes do not like sweets. Long ago
their minds and appetites lost the
desire for everything pleasing to the
natul palate.

Buffalo Herds.

There are, all told, not more than
1900 buffalo remaining in the United
States and Canada" said Mr.. J. C..
Jones, OF Grand Canyon, Ariz. MI.
Jones has for years borne the sobri-
Quet of Buffalo Jones" because of
his efforts to perpetuate the bison
breed. He is also distinguished for
his successful experiments in crossing
the buffalo with the domestic cattle,
producing a hybrid animal to which
he has given the name of "catalo."
THE largest herd of buffalo remain
ing" said he, lis owned by the Flat
head Indians of Montana-about 400.
TIE second largest is the Austin Cor
bin estate in New Hampshire. Next
comes the herd of Scotty Phillips in
North Dakota, and there is also a
fair herd On the big ranch of Mr..
Goodnight in the Texas Panhandle.
The ~catalo, a cross between the bison
ard common cattle, is an animal that
has the traits of both progenitors-
not so wild and hard to manage as
the buffalo, and yet a good bit shyer
than its dam. "-Washington Herald

Couture Ornaments.

The semi-precious stones and
pastes that initiate the diamond and
other jewels of first rank are having
their innings in barrettes, combs and
all sorts Of fancy couture ornaments.
Unless a woman's fortune is known
to be ample her tiara, if she sports
one, is apt to be looked upon with
suspicion in these days when the
chemist has contrived to counterfeit
the real stones not only in appearance
but in identity Of material. Small Or
naments of this class are better taste
than the too pronounced headdress,
which is apt to dwarf the wearer.
Pretty light feathers, marabou and
paradise, with a ieweled arrangement
at their base, are the most becoming
couture dressings Of the more ex-
pensive sort.

FOR CONSERVATIVES ONLY.
German Insurance Companies Give
Protection and Treatment.

Protection and Treatment.
The German insurance companies,
which are State institutions, and
have come into existence through the
law, have in the last ten years taken
up the question of the are of con-
sumptives. How thoroughly they are
carrying on this special work is
shown by the splendid results.
In 1897, insurance companies
throughout the Empire gave medical
treatment to 10,4S3 people, of whom
1855 men and 731 women were con
sumptives. This was at a cost of
1,O16,224 marks ($20S,112), Of
which 50,171 marks were used in
temporary relief to families of the
afflicted. OF the above amount 49,
| 9S9 marks we're reimbursed to the
companies by various sick clubs un-
der Government control, of which the
afflicted were members. The cost of
treatment for 1897 averaged 3O5.17
marks.
In 1900 this system had devel-
oped to the extent that 27,427 per-
sons were treated. OF these, SAP
were consumptive men, and 1852
were consumptive women. The cost
amounted to marks ($941,-
09O). At present in the German En-
pire there are sixty-three sanatoria,
or homes, to which tuberculosis pa
tents a be sent.
These data do not convey fully the
results obtained by insurance socie-
ties through the sanatorium treat
ment instituted for tuberculous pol
icyholders. The Imperial insurance
department recently published valu-
able tables of full statistics from
1897 to date. Condensed, they are:
Of tuberculous men given treatment
in 1897, sixty-eight persons were
brought to a condition where i1val-
idity (Which would place them on
the invalidity pension list) was not
apprehended in the lear future, Fig
ures for mt treated this year are
the same as for men. In 1900, sew
enty-two per cent. of men treated
and seventy-four per cent. of women,
were kept from the invalidity stages.
The remedial success with patients
treated in 1897 lasted until the end
of 1899, in forty-fve per cent; and,
in 1900, in forty per cent, while in
treatment given in 1899, remedial
success lasted until the end of 1900
in f%orty-nine per cent. of cases.
All this is possible because in Ger
many the State recognizes its duty
to the citizens by not only appropriate
ing funds for the support of invalid
ed workmen, but compels employer
and employe to assume their respect
i've responsibilities; so, should the
latter be incapacitated, he will not
become a charge on the public, This
is significant when it is remembered
! that, under the German insurance
system, i~nvalidity pensions are paid
without regard to the ages of per-
sons incapacitated. - Philadelphia

No More Long Gloves to Buy.

There is every indication that the
reign of the elbow sleeve is drawing
to a close. The sleeves on the new
gowns are short, but come well be-
low the elbow, and the close-ftting
cuff of tucked chiffon and lace length
ems them still more. . The fashion
has been so exaggerated and carica-
tured that 1t has entirely lost any
smart effect, excepting in some elab-
crate gown with which elbow sleeves
are Appropriate. For midsummer
and in the thin fabrics the fashion
will revive to a certain extent. but
fortunately its popularity has proved
It's own %undoing, and ere long it will
be numbered as a past fashion.
