The congress of the three Amer-

The Topeka deep water conven-

Thj»e are some Texas editors like
Sidney Smith's Scotchman. It
would require a surgical operation
to get a joke into their heads. Edi

will either have to refrain or else
label their jokes for the benefit of
this class.
As exchange has the following
votaee: "This hotel will be kept by
the widow of the former landlord,
who died last summer on a new and
improved plan." He must have
been trying to reduce expenses like
the Irishman with his cow, by living
without eating.
Biuonux must have a board of
trade, a business men's association
or something of the kind. We want
to quit doing business like village
shop-keepers and want to introduce
business methods, in order not only
to hold on to our present commerce,
but to build it up and increase it.
The Blackjack Post says : "The

LfLH/STRlAL SCHOOLS FOR
GIRLS.
The legislature of Georgia has re-
cent lv passed a bill providing for the
establishment of a state industrial
school for Georgia girls. It is a lit-
tle surprising that, when the meas-
ure was up for discussion it was the
occasion for several very bitter con-
troversies between the legislators;
not surpiising, that there should be
a difference of opinion, however, as
to the expediency or utility and l>eu
etit to be derived from such an in-
stitution; but, that in the contro-
versies such mawkish sentiments,
such foolish, ridiculous and absur,'
notions of chivalry and such false
sentimentalism should have been ex-
pressed us was by most of the
speakers who opposed the measure
at this distance of time since the
lapse of the institution of slavery.
Some of the members who opposed
the measure contended that it would
tend to thrust young girls out of
their proper sphere of retiring and
modest womanhood. Commenting
on the opposition to the measure,
the New Orleans Times-Democrat
truly observes : "The theory of re-
fusing to equip woman for a strug-
gle against 'poverty, hunger and
dirt' on the ground that modesty
demands that she must endure star-
vation and rags rather than come in
contact with the working world is a
false and foolish theory. There are
many professions and pursuits where
women can enter without the least
danger of sacrificing modesty or any
other trait or charm of femininity.
Fifty years ago society might have
felt itself liberal in allowing her the
range of the pantry, the work bask
of, tlie poultry yard, the kitchen and
the laundry. ButJ there has been
some progression in our world in
fifty years ; and men now recognize
the fact that women who arc com-
pelled to light for themselves the
battle of life should be allowed at
least some of the least dangerous
weapons formerly monopolized by
men." If the Ban.neh remembers
rightly, although the subject of es
tablishing an industrial school iu
this state for girls has never come
tip for consideration before the leg
islature, it was proposed by the
Texas Farmer, which strongly advo-
cated a schemo to reorganize the
State Agricultural and Mechanical
college at Bryan so as to provide for
the admission of girls. But as this
institution is partly supported by
the federal government and as no
provision was made for the ad mis
sion of girls it was finally deemed to
be impracticable and the agitation
of the question was dropped by the
Farmer. Texas by all means should
have an industrial school for girls,
and the next legislature should care-
fully consider the matter. Instead
of going to its wits ends to devise
such absurd measures as the coal oil
inspection law to create offices for
political hacks, the legislature should
devise some broad-minded, sensible
and statesmanlike scheme for the
better education of the young wo-
men of Texas.

Gathering; Onions.
In gathering the onion crop, un-
less tho stand is much eveuer than
most people secure, there will be a
quantity ot bulbs too small for
market and too large, apparently,
for sets. It is sometimes a ques-
tion as to what disposition shall be
mado of these latter. Having a
quantity of them on band last
spring, I used them for planting
my earliest onion bed, and almost
as soon as tho new* growth com
menced, they were ready for mar-
keting as green onions. They
came in very much sooner than
thoso grown from the smaller sets,
and consequently brought the best
prices. A neighbor came over as
\ro were gathering the last from
the bed of five square rods, and
suggested that "he guessed in
the long run hogs and corn would
pay better than onions." So tak-
ing out my note book, I investi-
gated tho facts, and found that the
five rods had yielded 680 branches
worth net 827.20, or at the rate of
?870.49 per acre. This was as
much 9s my neighbor could reason-
ably hapo to secure from his
I iKiper, using :i pen or a pen-
whatever is done at this end.
PoMlbllltf of Hawing One'* Writing Tran*.
mltteil l»j Kleclrlolty
A pleasant faced, elderly gentleman,
full beard, neatly cropped, aud. like
his hair, plentifully sprinkled with
white, was sitting in the lobby of the
New Denison recently.
"Who's that?" inquired the report-
er He was told the gentleman was
Professor Klisha Gray, of Chicago,
the famous electrician.
"I hwve just perfected an inven-
tion.' siiid Professor Gray to the ro-
|>ortcr, later on, "for the transmitting
of the handwriting—a facsimile of
the band writ ing "
"How is this accomplished*"
"< )ne sits down and writes on a
sheet of
cil. and
every motion that is made on the pa-
lier or otf it is faithfully reproduced
by a |K-n upon paper at the other end
of tho wire at the same time, just as
fast or an slow as it is given at this
end, and neither faster nor slower."
What name have you given the
instrument'"
"The telautograph, and it can be
worked over any length of win;."
"When you say (ten and |s'ncil what
do you inea u t'
"1 mean a [ten carrying ink, and
that the writing or drawing is upon
ordinary paper. 1 use a fluid
ink, (ml any ink will do that will
How readily. One can write with

lie elxMtses. The invention is now
practically completed, and lam mak-
ing a lot of instruments. A company
lias Ween formed as a parent organiza-
tion, aud local companies will follow.
The instruments will be rented, not
sold, and the terms will be similar to
those given by tho telephone people.
Hut it is entirely dissimilar to llie tele-
phone, for it writes and does not talk,
by it one can transmit a check, note
or draft in the handwriting of the in-
dividual. Its accuracy is unquestion-
able. In that res|tect it differs from
the telephone, which is good enough
for desultory conversation, but is not
sufficient to use in buying or selling,
You are writing shorthand; that, of
course, could ho transmitted by the
telautograph. In newspaper work
one could not only transmit a descrip-
tion of any great event, a celebration
like that of tho soldiers' monument
held here, or a great disaster on rail
or water, but a sketch could be trans-
mitted at the samo time to illustrate
the article."
"What is tho size of tho instru
mentf"
"The top is twenty by twenty-four
inches, it may be kept on or beside a
desk, or, like the telephone, lie hung
u|Kin llie wall, where it takes up littlo
space. It is secret in its communica-
tions, both as to thoso it gives and
thitse it receives. One does not need
to 'hello' and no ono can steal the
message from the wire. Then the
message will come whether one is ut
hand to receive it or not. One can
have a lock and key, and no one can
see the communication which has
come in iiis absence. The instrument
may lie found good for the distribu-
tion of press reports to all the news
papers of tho land simultaneously.
But there arc a thousand things to
which it may Inapplicable that neither
you nor 1 may think of at the mo
men!. Its chief value, I apprehend,
will be in mercantile business, where
the telephone fails by reason of its in-
accuracy. If a man gives an order
by telephone, the man receiving it
may deny having done so. but here
the writing is proof (tositive, and can
not be denied.'
"How about induction? When sev-
eral wires run in proximity to each
other what is the effect ?"
"As to induction, it is wholly un-
like the telephone. There is no more
trouble from proximity to wires than
is encountered in ordinary telegraphy,
and as to expense, 't will not cost the
user any more than the telephone
costs him."—Omaha Bee
l>«*uf Mut« hlfuCHtiOtl.
A modern theory, through which
the condition of tho deaf mutes has
been wonderfully changcd, acts upon
the supposition that such afflicted per-
sons are mute only because they are
deaf. There is no defect in tho vocal
organs, but tho fact that no sounds can
be heard led to tho supposition that
they cannot he imitated. Science,
however, has at last succeeded in
remedying so serious a difficulty.
Speech is accomplished both by the
motion of the lipsand the vibration of
the throat. Si^nt will give us intclli
gence in regard to the lirsl, and touch
should apply knowledge of the second.
In beginning to teach deaf mutes
the art of speech, they are first placed
before a mirror, and taught to form
with their |i|ts the different vowel
soundsuscd in sjxaking Cut this is
not all. Sounds are produced not only
by the lips, but by the larynx, the vi-
bration of which is strongest in the
region known as tho "Adam's apple."
The pupil places his linger u|kjii his
masters throat, while that vibration is
going on, and then, touching his owu,
strives to imitate it. Then, when be is
in possession of these elements of
speech, ho lias only to combine them,
in order to produce syllables, words
and phrases.
The course of instruction is not,
however, a very rapid one, since a
series of exercises known as the pre-
paratory period has first to bo accom-
plished. It is an interesting fact that,
before learning to speak, the lungs,
larnyx, tongue, lips and eyes have to
be so exercised as to be m a state of
readiness to operate.
Each inspiration draws into the
lungs an average of thirty cubic in-
ches of air, but iu speaking at least
one hundred and twenty cubic inches
are used. The deaf mute must, of
course, bo taught te inhale a sufficient
quantity of air, and to regulate respi-
ration, otherwise his air supply would
fail, and his speech become jerky aud
disagreeable.
If the larynx, also, were not given
preliminary exercise, tho spoken word
might be feeble or discordant, while the
tongue, unaccustomed to any work
but that of managing the food, must
learn to accommodate itself to a differ
ent set of motions.
The lips of deaf mutes arealways far
