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

That there are 100000 persons in
Germany whose 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. 1t was
decided to approach theater, opers
and concert managers with the re-
quest to allot particularly good seats
to those who by producing 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-
Grafton, and fund is to be started
to provide aural instruments for
those who cannot afford TO buy them.

JUST WHY THE LEAF FALLS
As Explained BY the Scientists, This
ls Complex and Interesting
Proceeding.

To most people the fall Of the
leaves does not. apparently. excite
much astonishment or curiosity. The
leaves die, and hence fall; that Is all
there is about f. But the scientist
knows that the proceeding is a high
~ complex one. IN the hrst place.
preparations for the leaf-fall begin
the minute the leaf Is formed, and in
many cases the leaf falls while yet
fresh and green. In 175s a botanist
named Duhamel advanced the theory
that the change was caused by the
rupture OF & thin texture between the
leaf and the stem. In the middle Of
the nineteenth century there was dis
covered, traversing the leaf-stalk and
touching the stem, q layer OF cork
tissue analogous 70 that of bark on
as interfering with the continuity be-
tween stem and leaf. The formation
OF this layer however, is not general.
and Is not observed IN certain ferns.
in the beech tree, the poplar and
many others. Nevertheless, this dis
covery furnished the key to the
phenomenon. The leaf-stalk is form
ed of strata of cellular tissue. One
of these strata hardens and tends to
being absorbed, and consequently on
one side or on both, the other strata
gradually grow together. The leaf
then adheres to the stem only by
fibrous, woody tissue-that is to say.

One Of TWO Things.

A woman fell I'll, so the story is told,
and for the first time In his life her
husband had to work. It devolved
upon him to nurse the invalid, look
after large family OF tow-headed
children, milk the COW, feed the pig,
cook the meals, and tend straggly
half-acre of corn. At the end of ten
days Of these frightful labors he
staggered down to the general store
at the forks of the road and fell at the
doorway In an exhausted heap. The
storekeeper came out and said:
"Halloa, Anse, how's yore wife?'
''She amt no better" moaned the
husband. 81 paid out a whole four
bits fer a bottle of bitters fer her, but

EIoatlnn Farms Of China.

Like the wood merchants of north
ern Russia, who carry their wood on
great RATS to Nijni-Novgorod, Kazan,
and Astrakhan, the farmers of the up
per and central regions along the
Yang-ste-Kiang construct RATS COW
ering as much as two acres of surface,
and on the RATS 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
well stocked with provisions. The
voyage to market is often one thou
sand miles, and to employ their time
on the slow journey the dwellers on
the RATS make baskets and many OBJ
jects of household use. Arrived at
their destination, they sell their prod
uce. take apart and sell the RATS,
and return to their homes by the ways
used by ordinary travelers.-Harper's

The use OF moving pictures in edu-
cation has had real impetus In Ger

nation recently received at the Uni

LuRINe THEIR PET PUSSY
How TWO London Ladies' Persuaded
the Persian Cat TO Descend
From a Tree.

I was coming home rather late
from the theater the other night, says
Robin Goodfellow, and all was quiet
as / walked down beneath the trees
in our modest suburban road Then.
quite suddenly, / came upon a roman
tic little scene in the front garden
of one of the most respectable of the
villas.
Beneath two tall trees a fire Of
sticks had been lighted, and over It
bent the shivering forms Of two
young ladies in evening dress. no
ticed, to my surprise, that one of
the ladies' had frying pan in her
hands, and an appetIzing smell of
bacon rose into the air. wondered
whether these two products of city
civilization were playing at the sim
pie life; but the next day ! found
the incident had a more prosaic ex-
PLANTATION.
The favorite Persian cat had been
missed during the evening, and at
length had been located in the upper
boughs of one OF the trees. All bland
ishments failed to persuade her TO
come down, and yet her owners re-
fused to lock her out for the night.
At last they remembered that she
would always make her way into the
kitchen in the morning and sit
shifting at the frizzling bacon, and
they decided to fry some bacon at
the bottom of the tree to attract her.
l believe that after half an hour
over the fire the ruse succeeded, at
the cost of two bad colds.-LondoR

1t doesn't pay to look for bargain
counter prices in breeding stock.
To begin with there are not nearly
as many really first class birds ia eX-
istence as are needed in the business !;
no indeed, not one-half or one-quarter
as many. In fact that breeder is eX-
ceptionally fortunate who raises in
one season as many high class fowls
as he needs right at home: and, this
being the case, no buyer can reason
ably expect to separate him from one
of his best specimens without paying
fair value. Just because chickens can
be raised in greater numbers and in
less time than most other domestic
live stock the idea is prevalent that
the very best specimens ought to be
both plentiful and cheap. But they
are not and never will be. The most
successful breeders can never rear as
many really fine fowls as they want,
one reason therefore being that the
high class breeders standard OF excel
Ience that he sets for himself in his
work becomes higher and harder to
attain every season.
There are many good reasons that
cause a breeder to part with some of
his finest specimens; the need of
money; the opportunity for advertis-
ing his stock; the needs of his regular
stand by customers, many of whom are
themselves ambitious to work a great
improvement in their fiocks; and-the
need of money again, greatest reason
of all. Every season l raise a few
choice specimens myself and while
watching their development | have

EUGENICS PROVES THE ROOSTER
IS IMPORTANT.

An English poultry breeder named
Pearl has been testing eugenics upon
chickens, with the special object of
ascertainng what effect heredity may
have upon their laying. He has kept
the family history of many thousands
of chickens and the laying record OF
every hen for thirteen generations.
A study of these records leads to GER
tain interesting conclusions, among
the most important of which is that a
