BEING pEAF GRACEFULLY.
It Is Necessary for the Afflicted One Il
Be Able to Entertain Himself

It Is Necessary for the Afflicted One to
Be Able to Entertain Himself.
To be handsomely and agreeably deaf
"a a very elegant accomplishment, fit to
exercise social talents in a high order.
The person who aspires to it must CHECK
10 a considerable measure deaf per
sons natural tendency to shun society
and flock by himself. He must continue
TO mix with his fellows, and when be
does SO must in so far conceal his in,
firmity as to make it a cause for dis
comfort to none but himself However
little he hears he must never seem un-
duly desirous to hear more, or yet in
different to what is being said. How
ever impossible it may be for him to
take part in conversation, he must neith-
ar permit himself to be bored nor to APP
pear so. 1t is his business always to
have the means of entertaining himself
in his own head, so that while he con-
tinues in company his mind may be
constantly and agreeably occupied,
however little he may hear In almost
any company deaf man to whom things
which have been said have to be repeat
ed is a check to free discourse; a deaf
man who is eager to hear and cannot is
q discomforting sight; a deaf man who
is bored and wishes himself elsewhere
is a depressing influence; in either case
he had better go elsewhere. The toler-
able deaf man is one who, being in con-
genial company, can give pleasure by
his mere presence, as he can take pleas
ure in having his friends about him.
His thoughts must run, but on what he
sees and feels, and upon the ileas that
| come into his own mind. A deaf man
who is always able to entertain himself,
and who is always glad and never over
anxious to know what is going on about
him, has reasonable grounds for believ.
/ ing that at least he is not an incubus
upon society. If to his negative aecom-
plishments he can add the habit of haV.
| ing something worth hearing to say,
| Scribner says, he can even hope to be
considered agreeable, and to have his
society as welcome to ordinary selfish
people as to the more benevolent.

was only a Poor French Soldier, But
Ila 0haxed orders.


The story is told in French newspa
per of Pierre Barlat, poor laborer
who lived at Sevres, near Paris, with |
his wife, Jeanne, and their three cnli-
dren. Industrious frugal, knowing
nothing of the way to the wine shop'
Pierre saved all his spare money, work
in0 harder and harder, and ut last
bought the tiny cottage il which they
lived. 1t was tiny cottage, indeed
oullt of stones, with tiled roo1, staIlc'
ing amid shrubs and covered Wild

of the traveier, en- tile left rs nc crosseu

All this Pierre and Jeanne had ae'
complished just before the war OF loiO'
with Germany, broke out. The con-
scription fell upon Pierre, who, more
over. was an old soldier and belonged
TO the reserves. A gunner he had been,
famous for skill in hitting mark WIFE
shell.
Sevres had fallen into the hands OF
the Germans, but the French guns were
nounding away at them from the fort
on Mount yalerian. Pierre Barlat was
a gunner at that fort, and, one wlntry
day. was standing by his gun, when
Gen. Noel, the commander, came up
and leveled his field glass at the Sevres
bridge.
Gunner he said sharply, without
looking at Pierre.

The officers with their glasses marked
the effect of the shot after the smoke
had cleared. ''Well hit, my man! well

Pierre, with smile. ''The cottagt
could,t have been very solid. 1t is com

running down the gunner's cheeks.
"What's the matter, man?" the gen

A Terrible Rife.

The very latest invention in the way
of magazine small arms, and one not
vet submitted to the United States army
board, is the gun that has just been put
in test by the Italian authorities. The
rifle is four feet long and, of the smallest
caliber yet attempted, .256-inch. The
speed of the bullet is 2, $50 feet-second,
and as regards it's penetrative force it is
said that the ball will pierce two mat
tresses and two planlzs five inches thick
at a distance of nearly mile. Load=
ing is effected by means of chargers
containing five cartridges arranged so
that repeating fire may be obtained
until the magazine is exhausted Many
of the experts who attended the trials
are of the opinion that the weapon is
the most destructive at present existing
among European armies.

How Difgerent animals Eat,

The cat always turns rabbits skin
inside out, leaving it reversed like a
glove. The weasel and stoat eat the
brain, nibble the head, suck the blood,
and leave the body. A fox always
leaves the legs and hinder parts. It
generally bites the head off to begin
with, and then skins the body neatly,
as it hates the fur in its mouth. A dog
tears it to bits, while crows and mag
pies peck the eyes out before touching
the rest of the body.

a set of twelve such spoons was recently

An important Requirement.

It would be untimely. says the New
York Evening Sun, if the internal dis
orders of the Colonial Danes should
seriously threaten the society's txist-
ence. The standards of eligibility have
not been clearly understood. 1t has
been heedlessIy thought that descent
from some ancestor OF reputation in
the colonies established sufficient claims
for membership. But while sueh de-
scent was largely taken into considera-
tion, it related only in part to the
standard of eligibility. A woman in
whose blood unites ribs from the most
noted colonial families Of this city con-
cluded that if there were TO be colonial
danes there was Heri;.in a5sur-5ty IN

AspARAGrs OK TOAST.

This IS another old-,ime dish that, to
my mind, is not improved by the modern
with sauce. Asparagus tips or small
portions of the best part of the
stalks served with cream sauce, or
bechamel sauce, in patue cases, or
rolls, or bread boxes, are very deli
cious and are suitable for occasional
luncheons. But for simple every day
living and for those who like the dis
tinctive flavor of the asparagus in all its
pristine delicacy, there is nothing better
than this common method of serving tho
whole stalks on toast That IS, when It
is carefully prepared. 1t can be mazda
any thing but appetlzing, If the stalks ara
tough, gritty and overlooked. and SWIM
ming in butter. and the toast has merely
looked at the fire, one cannot be expect
ed to relish the dish. The stalks should
be washed carefully, then cut of just
above the tough part. Tie them into a
compact bundle and stand the bunch in a
deep kettle of boilins water with about
two inches of the tips above water Let
them boil about 70 minutes, or until easily
pierced with a fork. Lift out and dram
thoroughly. Have several long, mario"
slices Of bread cut onethrd of an iurA
thick, and toast it thoroughly, dryius .-
through before browning. Lay the toast
across wide, hot platter, spread it Wl,A
softened butter, then lay the asparas
on the toast with the tips all toward tAe
further edge of the platter, sprinkle
evenly with salt and pepper, and spread
one tablespoon of softened butter over
the surface Serve Immediately. as le
should be very hot and toast crisp.
In serving, use a broad knife II YOU
have not one especially for the DISH
and you will find the long strips Of toast
as a foundation will aid greatly in remoN-
ing the stalks. There IS usually sufficient
moisture in the stalks to soften the toast.
and much more of the flavor is retained
than when served without the toast AS
paragus has a large proportion of water,
vet il has so much flavor and character
that It seems to be more appropriate -
serve as an cntree or course by Itself,
than as an accompaniment to meat. Ii
Is particularly suitable for family
luncheon or supper dish, and many peo-
pie enjoy it for breakfast when meat ID
not desired.
