PLANNING AID FOR THE DEAF
German Society Asks That Special Consideration Be Shown Persons
 Hard Of Hearing.

That there are 5Oo.OOO persons in Germany who~e hearing is defective is a statement that was made at the first convention of the Society for the Protection of the Deaf, which was organized a few weeks ago. Franz Bronner, an architect, presided at the convention, which was made up of 100 delegates.
 The resolutions adopted declared that persons who are hard of hearing needed more consideration than is usually accorded to them. It was decided to approach theater, opera and concert managers with the re- quest to allot particularly good seats to those who by producing a mem bership card of the society could show that their hearing was defec- tive; also that telephone apparatus should be attached to the seats,
 Railroad officials are to be asked to show deaf people special consid- eration, and a fund is to be started to provide aural instruments for those who cannot afford to buy them.

STRATTON SHOWS
 STRAWBERRY BLOOM

Mountain Home, Dec. 9.-J. A. Stratton, who lives in the east part of town, brought in bunch of strawber- ry blooms Saturday. The blooms caus- ed great deal of comment, it being so late in the winter. The growing season this year has been the longest one this section of the country has seen in many years. People are still living out of their gardens in many instances. Such vegetables as beets, cabbage, lettuce, onions and mustard are still green and furnish material for the family pot. Green gardens in December in the 0zarks are rare and the people are making the most of it while it lasts.

Eloatlnn Farms of China.

Like the wood merchants of north ern Russia, who carry their wood on great rafts to Nijni-Novgorod, Kazan, and Astrakhan, the farmers of the up- per and central regions along the Yang-ste-Kiang construct rafts cov- eriIg as much as two acres of surface, and on the rafts they establish farms where produce grows. On these great floating farms are habitations for the men and stables for the animals, pig. pens, feed-barns, and storehouses we'll stocked with provisions. The voyage to market is often one thou sand miles, and to employ their time on the slow journey the dwellera on the rafts make baskets and many ob- jects of household use Arrived at their destination, they sell their prod uce, take apart and sell the rafts, and return to their homes by the ways used by ordinary trayelers.-Harpers Weekly

YOUNG PRINCES OF INDIA
Extravaganza and Luxury That Sur round the Future Rulers of
 That Eastern Land.

A sketch in St. Nicholas tells Amer ioan boys and girls, under the title of His Highness the Young Rajah," about the lives of some of the future rulers of India.
 Tt is almost impossible for an American boy or girl to imagine the extravaganza and luxury that sur round some of these young princes" says Mabel Alberta Spicer, author of the sketch. Servants attend them night and day, fan them, dress them and obey their slightest wish. If wind stirs while they sleep, curtains are drawn that they may not be dis turbed. When they drive out mounted escort accompanies them, and all the people salaam as they pass. Once, when taking tea with rajah in his garden, was amused to notice that, as he moved about among his guests, servant followed carry ing cup which he kept always with in reach of his masters hand The rajah would take a sip of tea, and with perfect unconcern set his cup down in mid air With unfailing dex- terity the saucer was placed under it by the servant in time to avoid acci- dent. One prince had, suspended from the ceiling, silver couch which was kept gently swaying while he slept or read. Another had beauti- ful vine-covered arbor where artificial rain was made to fall, while the nabob sat under marble canopy in the cen ter, cool and refreshed, with the rest of the world broiling about him."

NIONliA9 iSAAA ''' @Ae$Sh'Oi'
 The use of moving pictures in edu- cation has had a real impetus in Ger man official circles, according to infor- nation recently received at the Uni ted States bureau of education. The Prussian ministry of education is con- sidering the feasibility of employing cinematograph films in certain courses in higher educational institu- tions. A number Cl film manufac- turers are having an opportunity to show what films they have thst are adapted to educational purposes.
 philanthropist has recently given two fully equipped moving-picture machines to the schools of Berlin. One is to be used in the continuation institute for higher teachers and the other in the high schools of Greater Berlin.

THRILLING RESCUE BY LAKE LIFE SAVERS
Boat Went to Bottom While the Crew Was on Way

sault Ste Marie. Mich. November 26. Survivors who reached here today told thrilling stories of their last mo- i ments on the steamer South shore. and
 of their rescue by life savers just be-

 of Lake Superior. near Grand Marais Sunday.
 T have sailed the lakes for years.
 and never before encountered such an experience as this," said Arthur King.
 fireman on the steamer, today. Tt wasn't long after the boat struck
 the heavy seas that her seams opened.
 and the water poured through them.
 Two men and their wives were aboard
 markedly cool. but they did not know the real danger. We, down below.
 knew we were right in the graveyard
 of the lakes.
 "The windows were soon smashed
 and the stern torn away. As the boat
 began to fill the fires got low I was standing in water up to my waist, and deck hands passed coal as fast as they could scrape 1t together. As soon as they would get a pile of it together,
 water from the seams would wash 1t away. and finally we threw into the fire boxes a number of pads of hard
 coal we were carrying as freight.
 All night we tossed around the lake in that condition. Just before noon (Sunday) the life savers on shore, six miles away, saw our white flag and came to the rescue. We all jumped into the life savers boats and made for the shore. The wheelsmen lashed her wheel and headed her straight for shore. She started in as prettily as any thing you ever saw, and then suddenly dropped out of sight"
