The inability to tiOk plninlv or to nr
ticnluto except with fjrr-tit plTort, when
duo to organic tronlile or inalforination,
doe not come under the head of slam
merliiK nnd Is not within the ncoie of
the stuttering spn;ialist.
"Tiie whole thinir is very simple,"
tnid the professor, "so simple that yon
will smile when I tell yun that the sole
and only cause of stuttering nnd stain
moriiig is careless respiration. People
who suffer front the imiediment have
only to pause, take in a long breath,
and then, opening the mouth in the
manner laid down in the charts nxed by
elocutionists, pronounce the word sharp
ly. Have you never noticed the remark
able fact that people who are inveterate
stammerers are often accomplished vo
calists? That is because in the act of
singing respiration is done in a proper
Way.
"A novel fact is thut the troubles of
stnmmom or stutterers lio entirely
with the vowel sounds. Patients do not
eent to understand this. In describing
their cases they will toll mo that they
Have tlimenlty iu Bounding 'it' or ' it
That is where they are wrong. They
sound the conmmaut nil right, but stag
ger nt the vowel. A patient comes to
me, and I say to him, say 'pupa. ' Hn
Will commence p-p-p-p-p, oh, professor,
I c-c-o-o-c-c-au t say p-p-u-p-pupu.
"It is nt once upparent that bin trou
ble lies with the vowel 'a.' Then tho
treatment commences. Standing before
hint, I snggiwt that he take a long
breath through the partially closed
moutii until the lungs are well filled,
and then, at tho moment of exhalation.
following my direction, he opens tho
month iu tho proper manner, as indi
cated by a chart, nnd pronounce with
me in a high, mechanical voice, 'paw
paw. ' This is of tun repeated, the vowels
being changed.
"From words we pass on to sentences
and so on to introduce iu close connection
all the vowel sounds. The respiration
Doiore each vowel sound is ncccssnry.
The treatment therefore consists in form
ing this habit. As tho patient pupil pro
gresKes tho length of this respiration is
reduced, tho pronunciation is made in a
lower pitch and in a few weeks, rarely
over five, the 'most inveterate stutterer
can talk rlnenrty and rapidly wit It no
sign of his former nfUiotion. But eternal
vigilance is necessary.
"Should the apparently cured patient
Deoome curolens nnd forget tho necessity
of respiration us taught him, ho inav re
lapse into his former slate, and then his
training must be done all over agnln.
A boy 10 years of ago was once brought
to mo. II:s was a stubborn ense, but in
six weeks I had linn talking all right.
Time passed on for two years. I fre
quently saw tho boy nt his father's house
and was del ;htcd with the cure. Last
unmier ho unio to my institute no
was as bod oil as when I first met him.
. "It seems that his father had sent him
on a short business trip to Europe, away
from the rcetraiiiing influenco of tho fn
thor, whose ears woro always nlort for
any return of his sou's affliction, and
much disturbed, as ho explained to mo,
by the noise of the vessel's machinery,
he became careless, nnd having once re
lapsed he bouuiiio worse evory day, nnd
was really forced to shorten his stay
abroad and ruturu tu Now York for treat
ment
"Ho was a bright lud, who roadilv
applied hiniHOif to my rules, nnd iu u
week ho was all right again. As n mat
ter of fact, ho need not to havo com.
back to mo, but could have applied his
Ola lessons with success.
"Tho Qovninn government bus long
reoogmzod the iinportuueo of ratioual

school children nfilicted in this manner
are put through a regular course by
graduates oi ino college at i runkfort,
whore tills specialty is taught in the
government employ. The German treat
ment is that of elementary training iu
elocution. "
The habit of imperfect respiration is
generally found in connection with some
diseases of childhood like the measles,
bat a most frequent cause ia uncon
scious . imitation. One stuttering child
in a family will set all the others to
struggling with the vowel sounds. An
adult in conversation with a stutterer
finda it difficult to speak without stont

"DESPERATION."
The Weir flame of fnritit Which Is Inte
entlng Kiwlpro floHi-tj,
"Desperation" Is n game of cards
that is beet described ns a continuity of
seqneticeii, regnrdles of suit. It is
played with threo full packs of 03 cards
each, nnd tho tnrwt convenient number
of players Is 13, but eight or ten per
sons will find it n very delightful wny
to spend nu evening. Iu a party of In'
nies nnd gentlemen the better wny is for
tho one sis to chnllcngo the other six
tnd then, sitting in couples nt the table,
alternating the piny.
Tho first duty Is to select a banker,
who should also net as umpire for the
vonlng. The banker or dealer should
then shuffle the three packs of cards to
gnther very thoroughly nnd count two
"nests," of 80 cards each, the one to lie
known as "Indies' nest," the other as
"gentlemen's nest," placing them nt
opposite ends of the table, hach player
then receives n hand of six cards, dealt
one nt a time. These hands are placed
face down directly in front of each
player.
The piny is from the banker to the
loft and each player turns up a card,
and the piny continues until an nee Is
turned. The privilege of turning the
top card of center nests la tnken by tho
first player of each side. When an nco
Is turned up, it is placed in the center
of the table, and the fun begins. Tho
purpose of the gnme Is to exhaust the
center nests, and the game is won by
the side exhausting their nest first The
sequences in the center of the table are
ace high to deuce, while tho side e
qnences or partner's hand are high or
low. So that each partner plays on the
center seqnennes, his or his partner'!
sequences and his own, In effect piny
ing seven hands iu a 13 hnnd cnnie.
The fun of the gnmo Is caused by the
peualty connected therewith, which Is:
No player is permitted by word, look,
sign, motion or suggestion to indicate
to the person playing any play or mis
play possible on pnnnlty of forfeiting
the piny of said player and having tho
chance of a sequence pass to the next
player nt tnble, which would uaturully
be an opponent
Thore is a great amount of sport iu
this game for a socinl evening, nnd it Is
very popular in the eastern cities. It
can be made "progressive"if desired on
the same principles as euchre. 8t

A BAD MARK FROM GOD.
A Little Olrl'i Original Ili-nnltlnn In Court
of "What Is Mlnf
An Incident worth recording occurred
boforo Chief Judge Bedgewick of tho
superior court In the trial of the nation
brought iu behalf of Ida Goldberg to ro
cover f IS, 000 damnges from Edwnrd
Ridloy St Sons for iujuriea received iu
being bnockod down and run over by
one of the wngons of tho firm. The girl
had her arm fractured. The defense was
that she was responsible for tho accl
dent by her own negligence.
Lottie Goldberg, a sistor of the plain
tiff, who is only 1 1 years of ngo, wns
called to the witness chair to testify to
the circumstances of tho accident. She
was such a littlo child that she wns
questioned as to her understanding the
nature of an oath, in order to ascertain
whothor she should bo allowed to tostify,
"Do yon understand tho naturo of an
oath?"
"Yes, sir."
"What is it?"
"It ia a swear."
On cross examination the little girl
was asked:
"What do yon menu when yon sny it
Is a swear r
"Well, it is that I have to toll tho
truth."
"If yon don't toll the truth, what
then?"
"That would be a sin."
"What is a sin?"
"A bad mark from God," answorod
the little one.
Tho vonorablo ohiof judge was visibly
touched at this answer of the ohild and
remarked, "This is a vory intelligent
ohild and perfectly understands the ob
ligations of an oath. " She wns then nl
lowed to give her testimony. New York

A modern ball nt the palace of the
Elysee, in Paris, whereto president of
France lives, is nu extraordinarily bril
liant and pictnrcsqun sight, for, besides
the military trapping and gold brnld of
the nrmy officers nnd the exquisite, del
