The moon appears to be the center of
every untaught deaf mute’s cosmogo¬

have been able ts> find, untaught deaf
mutes all resent the moon’s apparent
supervisory attitude toward them.
«< When 1 Went to my bedroom the
moon shined In and laughed at me. I
didn’t like it. I shook my fist at the

“When I went to walk the moon
chased me. I hated the moon. I mode

As a stimulant to undesirable emo¬

GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND.
How Their ClalniH Were EntohllahcO
In the Middle Aged.
A curious meeting was held in Lyons
on Jan. 4, 105)0. The royal commis¬
sioners solemnly sat in council to de¬
cide the question if lawyers and doc¬
tors could he regarded as gentlemen.
It proved too hard a problem for the
wise heads, and the doctors and law¬
yers themselves were summoned to
prove their right to gentility. The mat¬
ter was settled to the satisfaction of
the professional parties.
In the middle ages of England her*
aids went through the counties to ex¬
amine into the claims of landholder^
to be called gentlemen. There Is in ex¬
istence an interesting list of the dis¬
qualified, and one reads today the
shame of a certain Thomas Bobbins
who failed to establish the title and
was writ among the ignoble. Charles
Anscote, a representative of one of the
oldest families, Is registered as “en¬
titled to be styled a gentleman, al¬
though worth not more than £500. ii
Brooke, an old writer, has given the
world his opinion of what constitutes
a gentleman, and his definition has
never been excelled:
“The character, or, rather, quality, of
a gentleman does not In any degree de¬
pend on fashion or mode or state or (
opinion; neither does it change with
customs, climates or ages. But, as the
spirit of God alone can inspire it, so It
is that quality of heart which Is th*
same yesterday, today and forever.
Divall, Trouble Win -11 Head r»f th*
Firm Takes It Ea my.
Conducting a business Is like rolling
a huge bowlder up a hill. The moment
you cease to push It, the moment yoti
take your shoulder from it and think
you will rest and take It easy, the
bowlder begins to crowd iack upoii
you, and if you are not careful It will
either run over and crush you or get
away f*gn you altogether and go to
the bottom with a crash. It is neces*
■ary to be everlastingly pushing, fol
lowing up the bowlder, keeping it go-,
Ing, in order to get it to the top of thd
hill.
One of the greatest danger* of early
prosperity in any line is a tendency to
relax effort. Many a man ceases to
grow when his salary is raised or when
he Is advanced to u higher position.,
Many a business man, after be ha*
built up a large business, censes to
exert himself, and the moment he
pauses in his campaign of pushing and
struggling, the moment lie begins to
relax in giving his close personal at¬
tention, liis business ceases to advance,
and fatal dry rot sets in—one of the
worst diseases that can seize on any ,
Individual or concern. !
The man who attempts to run a busi¬
largo small, must keep his fin- 5 (
ness, or
ger constantly on its pulse in order to
detect any rise or fall of temperature,
any Irregularity or any Jer in the ma¬
chinery. When the head of a firm is
trying to take it easy, there is usually
troubto somewhere.—Orison Svrett kfat>

Costly Keys.
One thousand seven hundred pounds
was the sum given by Count Adolphe
de ltothschn<l for what may be said to
be the most valuable key in the world.
It Is marked with the arms of the
Strozzi family and is believed to be
the work of the great Italian artist
Benvenuto Cellini, who flourished in
the sixteenth century. The key is chi*,
eled out of a block of steel, presenting
two grotesque female figures and orna¬
mented with various masks and scroll*.
Another costly key, which formerly be¬
longed to the Medici family, is in th*
South Kensington museum, London.
The upper part of the bow rests upon a
square temple, inclosing a standing
figure, exquisitely chiseled, bolding a
