Now lets see we cannot find out the cause pf lo some extent and late when these grades go up. In 1891 and fine bright wrapped at prices ranging anywhere to MS pet bundled. At present is only a limited demand for this tobacco at j a hall that rice. There arc several c i use.- v. nave operated to d pr .-s lite price bright wrappers, among which 1st. A growing disposition among of plug o use sun which has no tor the bright cured lent This of course has decreased to some extent the demand for bright wrappers, and secondly, the plug war that Las been on now some lime between the large plug manufacturers has cut and slashed price the article and the same proportion the price of raw material has been as they have had to resort lo a common c wrapping stock. This I will say herd is one of the sons why the grades have held up so well. This cut rate war between reduced the price of plug tobacco on which our wrappers are used mainly, to less than half the price this tobacco sold for at wholesale prices lour years ago. These two are the principal causes, in my opinion, that have led to the present prices of line wrapping course there are other minor ones, but it can be plainly seen that this last one is sufficient to cut our prices in half. The same causes that have produced the low on wrapping stock applies to tine cutting as w in order meet what am lo term a temp demand of the low grade cigarette has been put upon the and with this the fight both side has been waged and in c Try on this fight they have created a demand this class cigar- Now as to the First, after striking bottom on low prices for the plug tobacco it began lo go up slowly, and already there is an demand for good wrapping at better prices than they have sold at for at least a year. The muddle has been settled and this year a new administration comes in four years and business will not again right away come in contact with the politicians, hence we can safely estimate that for at least two years the commercial world will have smooth sailing Then the most important feature after all is a growing disposition on the of cur farmers to make better tobacco and while we don't know tint prices will their former dizzy- heights, yet if good tobacco is made this year, take my word for it, producer will be satisfied.

The child, however, hears no sound and sees only tho slight movements of the lips and tongue and can never learn to speak by his own unaided and imitation of those mo- The teacher must furnish the correction and training that tho ear ordinarily supplies. The teaching of speech to a totally deaf child who has never spoken is truly a wonder- achievement. He has no of sound and can never have, for the only sense by which he can be taught the existence of such a thing is that of touch, which simply gives him a knowledge of tho mo- that accompany sound, but are no more tho sound itself than the vibrations that produce heat are the sensation call warmth. To train the deaf child's organs to take proper positions for tho utterance of words as unconsciously as those of n hearing person is a very slow process. The develop- of any set of reflex actions is a laborious task even where mis- takes can recognized and correct- ed by tho learner himself. In this case, however, the learner cannot correct his own errors, but must rely upon the alert car of his teacher to keep him from acquiring a wrong set of reflex actions and forming habits that it will almost to break up.
