Progress U rapid now, especially in in vention, and it is possible it seems to me even probable that before the cen tury closes w shall see this universal road of the all embracing sir, which recognize none of man's boundaries, traveled in every direction, with an effect on some of the conditions of our existence which will mark this among all the wonders the century has seen.

One of the uio-t remarkable inmate of the New Vuia lunlilutiou fur trie i-af and Dumb is Richard Clinton, who, though deaf, dumb and blind, lias in the fourteen years he has spent in the acy liun acquired an education and a self suprxjrtiug trada lie was born iu Dub lin with the seuite of sight and hearing perfect One eye was destroyed m childhood by an explosion, and an attack of scarlet fever co.t him the other eye and uh hearing. He was for a time in a school for deaf mutes in Ireland, but it was not until he entered the New York institution that he derived bent fit from the instruction given him Here helm been taught the ordinary branches of education and has a-qinri.d tiie trade of bottoming chairs. Jle learned to wnte by using a rule tc guide his hand. Of late he has learned to tine the typewriter and has discarded the pen. Ctiuloii inn the sign language in con venuttion. and reads the replies of his companions by touching their band. His toueb is abnormally sensitive, aa is often the case with the blind. By touch ing the hand of friend he recognize the person, and he recalls an old ac quaintance from wlioui be baa been long separated by feeling his face, hands and form The other boys in the institution treat Clinton in their play as roughly as if he had sight. He never resents such treat ment. He is only angered when he is pitieiL When be is pushed he recog nizes the person attacking him by the manner in which they tonrh him. Many tricks have lx-eu played npon hi- .. but it rarely happen that be get caught twice by th urns trick. New Y'ork World. Affected Locomotion. Gra e lends a fascination to an or dinary figure which the most symmetri cal projiortiun cannot exercise without it But unfortunately jrreat many ladie entertain mistaken ideas as to what constitute the poetry of motion. Neither th demonstrative swing nor the high tragedy gait with which sum of our Hebe and JunoS endeavor to show off their different style of person approxi mate it at all. The tall and (lately creature with trailing garment who moves, or tries to move, as if she trod on necks and liked that sort of psvement is not nearly so .liiiwlike she mny think. Such styles of going are affectations: and affectations of every kind are an abomination to people of correct taste. A lady should neither amble nor stmt, but glide along as if uncouscious that anybody was looking at her. Walking should be an unstudied act, not per formance. All the world i not a stage, in the common acceptance of the term, nor U it lieeetary that ladie should tread in streets like-tragedy qtieeus, 01 genteel comedy niines, or skipping sou brette. New York Ledger. Stranger Ran Cp Aglnat MoMI l-'riiBt sud Were Surprised. Moes Frost stood 6 feet 4 in his socks, and was called "the best man on tlK river" a phrase that expressed admira tion for his physical, not his moral, qual ities. He was, nevertheless, generous, truthful, brave and altogether a fiue specimen of the wilder Canadian back woodsman. The title implied that he had successfully "tackled" all the famous "bullies" of the Upper Ottawa, even th terrible Joe Maufraud, thirty years ago champion of "the treiieu. ilosea, in squeaky, ilnill, (low, small treble, that came alwunlly from so big a man, used to tell me his experience.

As I was lingering before the monkey rs(re in the Dresden Zoological garden, a flight tickling iu the throat, a chronic trouble with me, induced me to take out of my pocket a boi of bronchial troches and to put one of them in my mouth. Instantly a lare monkey of manifestly aspiring nature thrust out his hairy arm and palm with a beeochint( look that J would tcive him one. Why shonid he, Vat, not be allowed to enlarge his terres trial elertericea and share the joy of the nperior being before him? So 1 Rave him a troche, which he at once clapried in his cheek. "Scarcely did the bitter taste strike him than be snatched it out with bis finder and began rubbing it violently ou the ! hair of his arm, as if to rub off th bad taxte. N'eing. however, that the upe rior !eiiig continued to suck his troche serenely, he soon put his own back In his chop to K'v fuller trial. It proved too much for him to stand very long and so out he pulled it a second time and began rubbing it on the sanded floor of the cage. "Over and over the process was repeat ed; but each time as his reverential eye fell on the superior being outside still peace fully sucking hi own, a reflective ex pression came over hi face which a uinrh a said, 'Surely if that manifest god out there enjoys this nasty thing there uiu-t be some desirable quality in it that 1 am not develojied enough to appreciate.' So patiently th aspiring simian went on till be had dissolved the lai-t jmrticl of hi troche." Boston Herald. A roulUtl gunll'il. One of tb peculiariti' of human na ture is to afk a question that is eiceed Ingly foolish. For instance, if one ee a fnend knocked down by a loal cart, the first question that he I apt to ak is, "Did you get knocked downr At Trooet park on evening a gsntleuan was standing on the edge of th bake when he dipped and fell in. Naturally hi temper whs at a whit heat He glared about savagely, when a (tranger, who was standing by and who bad seen the accident, asked, "Did yon fall in?" Th fellow pausea, tnd while his eyes wer snapping fir remarked sarcasti cally: "No. I didn't fall in. The lake walked up ou me.'' Kansa City Timet. I'LACKS OF WORSHIP. firiiMl le .m. ThiiIN Chureh.
