Show An Interesting: Predicament. A man who lives in a flat near Central park recently had a peculiar experience. A couple of deaf mutes rented an apartment apart-ment underneath his own and were blessed in due season by the arrival of a bouncing baby with an excellent pair of lungs. At night the little one woke up nearly the entire house by its cries, but through all of it the parents slept until the tenant above, at the solicitation of his wife, went down stairs and fairly forced an entrance. The deaf and dnmb couple resort to many ingenious devices to overcome the disadvantages under which they labor. They are unable to hear their doorbell, so they have arranged ar-ranged a pieee of colored paper upon the gong in such a way that the paper flutters when the bell rings. By keeping keep-ing a watchful eye on the bell they are able to receive their visitors promptly, but their inventive genius has not as yet devised a scheme to indicate the baby's distress at night.
