1 Iiitorontlng Tacts About Deaf Mutes.
Tho prolwiblo averago ratio of deaf mutes
to the population nt largo is 1 to l,f00, and
this would give about n million deaf mutes
in tho world; mid yet (In tho United States
at least) tho deaf form tho smallest element
of tho defective clauses, including under this
term tho blind, deaf, Idiotic and iusano.
Douf 110M is a disease of childhood, uud tho
number of dent person of school ge Is
double that of tho blind. There aro about
six dent males to llvo deaf females, and tho
notion that the deaf havo nu Immunity from
other diseases of tho sense organs is not
bomoouU Among tho causes of dcafnoss
tho intormnrrlago of near relatives is re
garded its a serious one. That the intermar
riage of deaf mutes is a fertilo source of tho
increase of deaf mutes Is now generally ad
mitted, and somo regard ono-thlrd of all
cases as duo to this origin. A very largo
number of deaf mutes aro deaf from their
birth; and of thoso who become deaf a very
largo percentage lose their hearing in tho
first, second or third year of life. After this
tho liability to deafness rapidly decreases.
There aro about 05,000 deaf mutes in the
United states.
Tho relation between deafness and muto
nets is not a necessary ono; It is tccauso tho
ear educates tho vocal mechanism that doaf
persons becomo mute, not because their vocal
organs nro not correctly formed. This fact
makes it iotaiblo to teach tho doaf to vocalizo;
and tho system by which thoy aro taught to
read tho sounds on tho lips of tho speakor,
whilo thoy uuswer by speaking as well as
thoy can, is already tlio most widoly adopted,
ami 6eems destined to supersede tho finger
alphabet for general purposes, Tlio unsyra
patbetio nature of tho deaf as contrasted with
tho cheerfulness of tho blind, as well as tho
fact that eminent blind iwrsons aro much
mora numerous than eminent deaf ones, speak
for blindness as the less serious loss. '

the llegliinlng of I'rlutltig.
It Is probable that tho earliest Impressions
were takou by a mallet and planer (a smooth
faced block of wood iKod for lovelingtho
typo before printing), as proof slips now often
are, or by a brush, In the Chinese manners
but premcti wore soon invented for tho pur
pose. There are engravings representing tho
press as it existed about 1S:X). It was largo
enough to print two folio Kigcs, and for this
two pulls woro required. Tho force was aj
pllod by a slmplo screw and lover. About
llX) Dlaeuw, of Amsterdam, produced n
greatly improved press, which, with llttlo al
teration, continued In uso for moro than a
century and a half. Tho press upon which
llenjamln Franklin worked in Loudon, in
1725, is preserved in tho imtcnt olllco at
Washington. It is a clumsy structure, nl
most entirely of wood, known as tho Ramago
press, of which many woro still in uso more
than a century later. Iron was subsequently
1iM.1l for somo of tho ports until tho begin
nlng of tho present century. Printing ma
chinery, now brought to such a high degreo
of perfection, was not much ahead of Frank
lin's tlmo fifty years ago.

Cremation.
Tho first furnuoo for tho cremation In
America of IkxIIoji of tho dead was erected at
Washington, I'n., In 1870, by Dr. F. J. Lo
Moiuo, at a cost of (1,000. Tho first crema
tion (that of Baron de Talm) took place Dec,
Oof tho saino year. Tho process occupied
about two hours, and was very successful In
its results. Tho ashes wero placed in an urn.
Tho process seemed objectlonablo to many,
and somo excitement was caused throughout
the country. Since then crematorlos havo
been oroctod in sovcral largo cities, aud tho
process of cremation is uot regarded with
much curiosity. ,
A Suggestion fur Independence.
After tho proclamation of King George
III, in 1775, Josoph Hawley, 0110 of tho stanch
patriots of Now England, wroto from Water
town to Samuel Adams, In congress: "Tho
oyes of all tho continent uro on your body to
seo whether you act with firmness mid Intre
pidity, with tho spirit nud dlsjwitch which
our situation calls for. It is tlnio for your
body to fix on periodical annual elections,
nay, to form into a parliament of two
houses." This was tho first projxjsltlou for
tho establishment of an independent uutioiiul
government for tho colonies. v
