On*atight Deaf Mates Reseat Its Ap¬ parent Attitude Toward Theta. The moon appears to be the center of every untaught deaf mute’s cosmogo¬ ny. With only one exception that I 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 moon.” “When I went to walk the moon chased me. I hated the moon. I mode faces at the moen.” As a stimulant to undesirable emo¬ tions, th* m**n mast exert considera¬ ble influence upon the moral life of the anedoeat«i deaf.

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> d»u In Success Magazine. 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.
