in his arms she took the other and for hours they battled in the cold waves longing for day to break After hours ol suffering one of the little one was away by the merciless waves and a little after tbe other one was carried away also That was bad enough and he hoped he might still have strength to get his wife to land But she could not stand the ex nor endure the battling and died just as he was

These men signed the bonds of the retailers who with their employes number voters incl are under absolute He laid If those men wore uniforms and to rule Massachusetts they would be swept into the sea

queer class meets every day Some of the pupils are only five years old and some are twenty but not one ever any noise and in point of quietness the class is a model one Nobody ever hears schoolboy laughter or schoolgirl jollity ring out from that and the very house itself has not even the conventional doorbell You cnn count every tick of tho little clock with the class in full session while you stand waiting in tho In this silent house deaf mutes are taught to Two private classes with seven pupils in each meet there day after day and from 9 in the morn ing till Inte in the afternoon struggle with those simple sounds that most of us learn unconsciously in our babyhood Miss Sadie W Keeler is the teacher For eleven she hns worked among mutes nnd given to voiceless tongues the music of our speech In this country and in Europe she hns learned nil that the best schools can of fer But whatever methods different teach ers mny have to the onlooker who an interested hour or two in her classroom it seems that the only method must be pa One must have the quiet pa of a marble statue and persistence ns the flowing of n river to perform this modern miracle of making the dumb talk To make n sound over and over ngain nnd then to begin at lie beginning nnd repent and reiterate and explain and recite the same thing a thousand times is somewhat a suggestion of the work of n teachers life Two boys about seven another of ten n girl of sixteen nnd two smaller girls about eleven years old were sitting quietly around n little table There was n blackboard nnd a First render in the room Miss teaching the smallest boy to sny Ah She put one of his hands on her chest so that he could feel the vibrating of tho vocal chords nnd held the other close to her mouth so that he could feel the sion of her breath Then she said Ah and he tried to say it her Then her lips formed the word and the fellow by closely watching to imitate her but tho only re sult that sounded like Tho teacher held the lads hand to her lips so that he conic feel her is she expelled it in mak the p in The m sound did not bring any breath on his hand so he tried again and holding his hand to his own mouth changed into a guttural sort of The liltle pupil bnd hard work getting the letter Tho only way ho could feel this sound was by placing his hand one on side of the jaw of the The sound of m nnd w he got by placing the fingers of one hand on the teachers noso nnd the fingers of his other hand in precisely the wny on his own nose Then ho copied the movement of her lips nnd tongue ex nnd another letter won The vowels arc first then letters arc put together nnd the Ind nt Inst learns to say Then ho writes it on a slate nnd is told that the three mean himself or any other boy One little maiden named Min

lips hns the same measure of expressed nnd the same placid intonation I hate you has She is agood example of the double system of teach ing that goes on in tnis queer school room She has learned lipreading Speak slowly to her and she can tell from the changes in your lips nnd tongue what you sny Make Ihc mere motion with your mouth as if whispering softly but do not make the least sound and she can tell what your words would be Of course in this combination of ob and there needs must bo strange mistakes Take tho case of Dr who speaking in church to deaf mutes tried to explain what a deacon was He took his hat and passed it round as though taking up a collection in was a dea con Now did they understand Of course Little George held up his hand and was given a chance to air his knowl edge and tell what a really He is the monkey goes round with the to collect So when he wrote on the board the defini tion of which fol another bright lad said a dog a consequence because he

meaning for their York World Fear Does Hot Reason An instance out of my own experience will go to show how fear docs not reason About ten years ago when I was in Ba den near the Forest I was in the of walking alone in tho evening till late in tho night Tho security was absolute and I new very well there was no danger and as long as I was in the open field or on the road I felt nothing that resembled fear But to go into tho forest where it was so dark that one could hardly see two steps ahead was another thing I entered resolutely and I went in for some twenty paces but in spite of myself the deeper I plunged into the darkness the more a gained possession of me which was quite incom prehensible I tried in vain to overcome the unreasonable feeling and I may have walked on in this wny for about a quarter of an hour But there was noth ing pleasant about the walk and I could not help feeling relieved when I saw the light of the sky through a gap in the trees and it required a strong effort of the will to keep from pressing toward it My fear was wholly without cause 1 knew it nnd felt it as strongly as if it had been rational Boroo time after adventure I travelling at night alone with a guide in I had no confidence in the mountains of Lebanon The danger there was certainly much greater than around Baden but I felt no Science A Story A bant n Serial A lady of some literary distinction re siding in Boston was engaged to write n serial story which was to appear iu in in n certain publication every month The publisher bought a pig in n poke but knowing the talent and experience as a writer of stories he ran the risk The story rnn along for seve ral numbers and fully satisfied the pub nnd editors expectations But after some twenty instalments had ap camo to the con that he was getting rather too much of a good thing and so the lady requested to cut the story short nnd print it in one more number This the lady resolutely declined to do So what were the publisher and his editor to do They put their heads together nnd nn outsider employed to dispose of nil tho in the book them them or send them into oblivion m the exigencies seemed to require but all in chapter The indignation of tho lady who had written all but the lost chapter of the story cnn be belter imagined than described when the final instalment appeared in the publication She brought suit for damages the publisher naturally enough but it never came to trial as it satisfactorily settled out of Boston Herald Tot by Electricity At the mechanical exhibition at the Palais de 1Industrie of Paris there is exhibited a machine for registering votes which will it is said bo shortly installed in the French Chamber of Dep Its object is to obviate mistakes the loss of time and the necessity of the members leaving their desks to record heir votes The machine which is the invention of M Debayeux is worked by electricity and tho vote of a full house it is said may be make known by this means in less than five minutes The arrangement of the apparatus is as fol lows In front of each seat three con tact makers are placed the knobs being marked and Only one of the pushes can be depressed at one time and neither of them can be used more than once until they have been released by the action another part of the apparatus which ifl under the control of the president Tho voting is recorded by means of three sets of cylinders upon which is inscribed in relief the names of the members in al order and also the series of figures from one up to the total number of members These cylinders rotate un der inking pads and after the voting an impression being taken on a band of paper against the name of each member present fs found a number in one or other of the three columns or These numbers ap pear perpendicular in numerical order Hence the total number in each division is read at tho foot of the three columns The apparatus is necessarily somewhat complicated but it is said to work with great facility It will be remembered j that for some time a similar voting ap paratus exhibited in one of the Con gressional committee rooms nt Washing ton but finally taken by the

have walked with it in position When tho victim has been dragged to what tho tiger considers n position of security it will tit down and n good nnd then retire a short distance from its prey to some particularly thick bush or tuft of grass and there remain until the following night nnd then return for another meal In consequence of this well known habit a ns it is called is the best of nil nnd in
