MAKING THE DUMB SPEAK
Various Methods by Which the Mutes
Are Taught to Utter Many
Words.
OF seventy

Scripture remarks that the following
exercises are typical of those used in
the best schools for deaf mutes:
Breathing through the nose and mouth
are first taught The teacher breathes
through the nose on a slate or a mir
ror and shows the two moist spots;
the child learns to initiate this. The
mouth breathing produces one spot.
The low position of the tongue is nee
essary for proper speech. 1t is taught
by showing the position and using the
mirror, and by breath exercise. This
latter rests upon the fact that the
child cannot produce a good sized spot
on the slate unless he keeps his
tongue down. Tongue gymnastics are
next used to timber up and train the
muscles which have never received
the proper development. The tongue
is protruded, retracted, moved to each
side, turned up, etc. Tongue training
preparatory to various consonant
sounds is introduced. Vibration of
the vocal cords is taught by feeling.
The pupil puts his hand on the teach

to raise and lower the voice and by
careful drill is able to make a fairly
good tone.

position of the tongue and lips for the

ter and the person can go right along
with his education.-Ne York Medl.

DecimaIs and DuodecimaIS.

Herbert Spencer offered a character
istically original system of reckoning.
He clung to the duodecimal system,
mainly because twelve can be divided
by three and four as ten cannot. But
he suggested that all the advantages
of both systems might be combined by
making twelve the basis of calculation,
inventing two new digits to take the
places of ten and eleven and making
twelve times twelve the hundred.
Spencer scornfully remarked that the
decimal system rests solely on the fact
that man has ten fingers and ten toes.
If he had had twelve there never
would have been any difficulty"

Stone Monument In Medford.

block has upon its face three circu-
lar projections, also hammer finished,
the central one being less in diameter
than the other two and each project
ing three-quarters of an inch.
As the masonry of the cairn is not
continued up behind this block there
may have been a similar stone there
and removed either by accident OF
design. This conjecture seems rea-
sonable, as within the center of the
cairn is imbedded a substantial stick
of native red cedar several inches in
diameter and fractured at the upper
end. Evidently this was a Flagstaff or
signal pole: and It's breaking may
have caused the loosening or fall Of
a similar capstone at the reverse of
the one described.
AS seen by the illustration, this
capstone is dressed squarely. IT,
leads to another conjecture, which
the absence of evidence to the
trary, seems reasonable, namely. H.
the granite block was formerly in use
as a Intel in some large building, its
position reversed, as shown by its
hammered faces.
No inscription of any sort is to be
found about or upon it; and nothing
save the broken cedar stick gives any
clue to its identity or the purpose of
its erection; while the loosened NOR.

.Jimson Juice.

The chemist who will extract the
bleaching principle from the common
jimson weed and place it within reach
of family and laundry use has a for
tune in store. 1t is a well known fact
that there is no better way of bleach
ing the family linen during washing
than by putting few leaves of jim
son in the boiler; but there is an OBJ
lection to this practice, as very un-
pleasant odor is the result. This can
be removed, however, by placing the
clothes in cold water and boiling
them, or by repeated rinsings, but all
this is troublesome, and therefore
many who know the value of the
leaves do not use them.-Eternal

CALIFORNIA GIRLS LONG SWIM.
A Feat On the Pacific Coast that No
 Person Before Had Accomplished.

Miss Mabel Lawson, a Los Angeles girl, accomplished Monday the re- markable feat of swimming from the southern end of Deadman's Island at San Pedro to the bathhouse in this city. It is a feat no man or woman ever has been able to do before and cheering thousands greeted the vic torious girl from the Long Beach pier.
 - They shouted, waved hats and par asols and abandoned themselves to an ovation that awoke all the echoes For more than an hour they had stood in the grilling sun on the pier. having come early to get points of vantage. Long before they could make out the girl swimmer as a bob ping speck on the tumbling waters they had sighted the boat that ac- ccmpanied her and the interest grew tense. At last she was near enough for them to catch the flash of her arm as it shot forward in the long overland English stroke. It was then the first cheer burst forth and was taken up and continued as each sturdy stroke brought her past her

LICENSE DENIED ID
 CALIFORNIA WINE CO.
Sheriff Refuses to Issue It Until He
 Secures Legal Advice

A renewal of the liquor license new held by the California Wine company, doing business on Center street, has been denied by Sheriff Hayden, pending advice from the dis trict attorney regarding the matter. The application was made to the board of supervisors a few days ago in the name of Gilbert Blanco and was granted after which the appli- cant was referred to the sheriff for the issuance of the license. In the meantime the sheriff had been noti- fled not to do so by J. H. Lang ston, attorney for the Anti-Saloon League, who said he had filed with the supervisors a request to grant no more licenses in Phoenix on the theory that it is prohibited by an act of the legislature prohibiting the sale of liquor within six miles of any camp where twenty-five or more men are employed on any public work
 The sheriff naturally is inviting no trouble with the league, especially if the league is properly backed by law. so he deferred action until he could get legal advice On the oth CT hand it is reported that Prosper Bordoni the manager of the Cali fornia Wine company, is contemplat ing an action in mandamus proceed ings to compel the sheriff to issue the license.
 The law in question was devised and fostered by interests that at the time had no thought of furthering the prohibition cause, chiefly rail- road interests. It was designed to

BANKERS CALL ATTENTION TO
 THE DWINDLING RESERVES.
Banking and Currency Reform Dis cussed-The Bank of England and the Government Finances-LegisIa- ton Suggested as Matter of Pre- caution.

London-There could have been no more fitting time than the present for discussing banking and currency re- form in England. The country has just been struck by a wave from the back wash of last years suspended budget.
 Owing to the stoppage of revenue at the time an artificial scarcity of credit was created by the emission of treas ury bills. Now the redemption of those bills is flooding Lombard street with money at a time when England should be attracting gold from abroad to coun- teract the continued overflow and to prepare for large demands due in the fall. The dwindling of the English gold reserves, attention to which has been frequently called in the Sun, was the main point of discussion at meeting of the Association of Chambers of Commerce of the United Kingdom held last week at Leeds under the presi- dency of Lord Brassey.
 It is no secret that the growth of the aggregate liabilities, external and internal, has not been accompanied by a proportional increase 0f gold held by banks in the United Kingdom. Since 1894 there has been a steady diminu- tion in the percentage of coin and bull lion held. in the Bank of England as against the aggregate liabilities on de- posits.
 The note issue of the bank is in- creased periodically, as bank note is sues in the provinces have been gradu- ally. ceasing, and there are now $92,- 500,00O worth of notes issued against securities Each additional issue of notes drives gold out of the country. The total note issue now amounts to $2S0.000,000, against which only $751; 500,O00 in gold is held.
 As for the public deposits in the post office and trustee savings banks, no reserve of any kind of coin or notes is kept These deposits amounted in 1909 to $1,050, ,000, and that amount has since then considerably increased.
 It is easy to imagine that a few mil lions may be wanted for withdrawal, and such a demand would doubtless arise at an inopportune moment. m such a case the only way by which the British government could raise money would be by loan or by the sale of stock. With consols at about 80 the question is asked, What would be the effect of the government going into the market as a seller of consols or a
