UNDERSTOOD SIGN LANGUAGE.
"When I learned the deaf-mute sign
language, a few years ago," ssid a
young lawyer yesterday," it was for a
defiuite purpose, and sirce then, inci
leutally, it bad lurniabed it good deal
of umusement to me. There are not
mat y deaf mutes in this city, and when,
:u coming down on an elevated train
ibis morning I discovered that the cross
^at opposite me was occupied by two
youua women who were con versing ij
-i?u language, my interest was at once
excited. They were neat lot king girls,
tiud as I sallied in my seat I discovered
that ibey were currying ou an ani?
mated conversation on a certaiu young
mau whose merits ami demerits they
were frankly discussing, never dream?
ing that any one else in the car could
understand them. Suddenly one ol
them noticed that I was looking intent
y at them, and with her lingers she
said to the other girl:
" 'Don't look uii just now; but in the
seat acro.-s from you is a young man on
whom you have made un impression
He isu't bad looking.'
"J glanced idly out of the window to
gjve the girl a chance to inspect me,
aDd with difficulty I suppressed a smile.
She looked me over critically, and then
with her fingers she earn:
"'You saw him first. He is yours. I
don't like blondes myself.'
u'It was you at whom he was look
inc,' came the reply.
" 'No; no was looking at you. I don't
like his mustache. Just look at him
uow, conceited tbitig 1 He is curling it.'
" T think his mustache is very nice,'
said the first girl. 'Don't look in bie
ditection so frequently or he will sus?
pect us.'
" 'He looks too slow to suspect any?
thing. Besides, I can see him by look?
ing iu the mirror, ami he doesn't know
it. I am goingtosize himupagain now,'
and as she turned toward the mirror to
did I, and I caught her glance square
in tho eyes. The young woman Hushed
a bit and theo pretended to be looking
out of the window. The gill who ad?
mitted that 1 was not bad to look at
DU Iged her friend and with her nimble
fingers said :
'His clothes fir him well, don't the\ ?
Wouldn't he be angry if he knew that
we were talking about him. I think
that he is nice.'
"It was with difficulty that I could
prevent myself Irom acknowledging
this compliment in sign language, but I
didn't waut to spoil ti e fun. Thesecotd
girl looked at mo again by way of the
mirror aud then said :
" He is stariug at us too much. Let's
look at his shoes and embarrass him.
He will think that there is something
wroug with them.
" 'All right,' shM my friend, and two
pairs o( eyes were turned on my shoes,
which I knew were aL right. Being
forewarned, I was not embarrassed,
and I thrust my fee! a little forward so
that they might be in lull view.
" 'It's no go,' said the second girl,
'and in a long experience it is the lirst
time that I ever failed at this trick.
He does not even look down at his
shoes. I Will bet that he is awfully
conceited.'
"They kep up a very frf e discussion
of my appearance, and wheu we reach?
ed City Hall station I arose to go out
and thty followed right behind. The
car had been well filled aud the girls
were in a hurry. I stepped to one side
and in sign language said to the one
right behind me:
" 'Excuse me, I am eoiry to be in
your way.'
"That giil read my hands in amaze?
ment, and I would nol have missed
I the expression of her lace as her eyes
met mine for anything. It was a blm h
to remember. Without explaining to
the other girl, who was behind her,
she grabbed her arm and hustled her
about face and out of the other door.
As I reached the platform I saw the
girl whom I addressed explaining it to
tho other girl, whoso face indicated
that she wns struggling between morti?
fication and inirtb. Just as they turn?
ed toward the bridge both of them
looked back at m?'. I smiled and raid?
ed my hat. They laughed and on they
went. It was a pleasant little enter?
tainment for a down-town trip."?[N.

Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made aud that, too, by a lady in tbie
country. "Disease fastened its clutches
i upon her aud for seven years she witb
8 ood its severest tests, but her vital

seemed immiuent. For three months
she coughed incessantly and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way to
n cover by purchasing of us a bottle of
Dr. King's New Discovery for Con?
sumption, and was so much relieved on
taking first dose, that she slept all
