Who Did 1t!

Who Did 1t.
On Saturday night last, splendid
band gave a serenade of the choicest
music, right by the Editors sleeping
apartment We don't know who they
we're, nor who they intended to honor
with their touching strains; but if the
compliment was intended for us, We thank
the unknown musicians, and if for some
one else, we still thank them
There is nothing which SO deeply
moves US as the sound of sweet music
heard in the still hours ofthe night, in that
dreamy state between sleep and waking
Again we thank the unknown dispensers
of 'sweet sounds"

cases of deafness among the female popu
lation are every week brought before the
attention of the leading aurists in London,
who attribute them to the prevailing
fashion of wearing the hair. The ear is
covered and loaded with "a mas Of ban
doline, horse hair, wool and other arti-
cles,' by which the free current OF air,
indispensable to the healthy action Of the
auricle, is impeded, and at last deafness
is produced.
