A IUrarkbl lleaf Mut.
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

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.

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

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

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.
