Roundabout Ways Of Hearing.

There is a passage from the cavity
Of the drum Of the ear to the throat,
known as the Eustachian tube. Its
main purpose seems to regulate the
pressure of air in the cavity; but, un-
der certain circumstances, it serves
to convey sound to the inner ear.
Writers on physiology record instan-
ces In which persons who could not
hear through the external ear were
enabled to do so through the mouth.
Another roundabout way OF hearing
is by means OF the teeth. A simple
experiment illustrates the transmits
mission Of sonorous sounds by the
teeth, and also shows that solid bod
les convey feable vibrations better
than the air. Lay a watch, face
downward, on table, and stand SO
far from it that you cannot hear the
ticking. Now, let one end OF the
wooden rod rest on the back OF the
watch. and grip the other end with
the teeth; close the ears with the
fingers to exclude other sounds. and
the beat Of the watch will be distinct
ly audible. Other sound may be
conveyed in the same manner. II
one end OF a very long rod be placed
on q piano and the other held be-
tween the teeth, one can distinguish
the tune played though his ears be
stopped. That the sound Is trans
mitted through the air Is shown by
the old experiment Of suspending a
poker or an iron bar by a cord held
by the teeth. II the iron be struck
the sound will appear louder than
when In the ordinary way. Engin-
eers, when they suspect leakage or
other mischief inside the cylinder OF
steam engine, sometimes put a

Plenty Of Currency.

As to resumption, 1t may be men,
toned that the proportion of coin to
paper circulation In this country is
larger now than it has ever been be-
fore. In the light Of this fact our
correspondents fear would be unnec-
essary. There is twice the amount
OF money per head now in circulation
in this country than there ever was
at any time anterior to 1860. 1t is
better money and nearer par than
any money we ever had anterior to
1860. We had no trouble at that day
in effecting our exchanges with 81
per head. Why can not we do it now
with sl470 per head?

The umbrella is not so recent an
invention as we are accustomed to
suppose. Nearly a century ago a
very large one was always kept in
the hall of good English house, to
keep visitors dry as they went out OF
their carriages. During the action at
the Mayors house, near Bayonne, in
1913. the grenadiers occupied an I'M
finished redoubt near the high-road
1t was rainy day, and every officer
had an umbrella over his head. They
kept dry till Lord Wellington hap
pened to ride that way and took
laugh in his sleeve. He Immediately
sent the officers word. Lord We'll

OF umbrellas under fire, and cannot

A story is told OF deacon In Ten

ding a buoking mule-that is, mule
that can make a camePs back OF its
straight one, and by a spasmodic
movement Of its four legs and hump,
discharge its rider like a cannon ball.
The other day they came to the edge
of the worst mud hole in the State,
and the mule gave unmistakable in
dications OF bucking. The good dea-
con knew that he was about to be
thrown, and his mind skurried about
for prayer. His table grace came

about to receive make us humbly
thankful" he exclaimed, and the
mule had bucked and he was in.

The Philadelphia Times says that
during thunderstorm on Friday
afternoon, as gentleman OF that
city, accompanied by two ladies, was
driving along an unfrequented road
in the suburbs, the carriage was
struck by lightning. The fluid tore
the bit from the horses mouth, ran
along the ground, followed around
the tire OF one Of the hind wheels, de-
stroying the wheel, and causing the
vehicle to break down. The occu-
pants of the carriage were slightly
shocked and a good deal scared.

SHERMAN AND SHERIDAN.
What Gen. Graut Thinks of Them.


General Grant has known General
Sherman thirty-five years, and says
he is not only great soldier but a
great man. He is an orator with few
superiors. As writer he is among
the first. As general 1 know Of no
man would put above him. Above
all, he has a fine characterize frank,
80 sincere, so outspoken, so genuine.
There is not false line in Sherman's
character-nothing 10 regret. As a
soldier, / know his valor. / know
what he was before Vicksburg. You
see we had two lines to maintain.
On one side was Pemberton, his
army and his works. That I was
watching. On our rear was Joe
Johnston, who might come at any
time, and try and raise the siege. !
I set Sherman to keep that line and
watch him. never had a moments
care while Sherman was there. /
don't think Sherman ever went to
bed with his clothes off during that
campaign, or allowed night to pass
without visiting his pickets two or
three times In person. His industry
was prodigious. He worked all the
time, and with an enthusiasm, a pa
thence, and a good humor that gave
him great power with his army.
There is no man living for whose
character I have a higher respect
than for that OF Sherman. He Is not
only one Of the best men living, but
one OF the greatest we have in our
history.
Speaking Of Sheridan, he said:
He belongs to the very first rank OF
soldiers, not only Of our country but
Of the world. No man ever had such
a faculty Of finding out things as
Sheridan, of knowing all about the
enemy. He was always the best in
formed man in his command as TO
the enemy. Then he had that mag
netic quality Of swaying men which 1
wish I had-a rare quality in a gen.
eral. don't think any one can give
Sheridan too high praise. When /
made him Lieutenant General there
was some criticism. Why not Thorn
as or Meade? 1 have the utmost
respect for those generals, no one
has more; but when the task OF Sc
lection came could not put any man
ahead OF Sheridan. He ranked
Thomas. He had waved his rank to
Meade, and / did not think his mag
nanimity in waving rank to Meade
should operate against him when the
time came for awarding the higher
honors of the war. 1t was no desire
on my part to withhold honor from
Thomas or Meade, but to do justice
to a man whom 1 regarded then, as I
regard him now, not only as one Of
the greatest soldiers Of America, but
as one of the greatest soldiers Of the
world, worthy to stand in the very
highest rank."-Ne,c York Herald In

The Gathered Rose.

Only q rosebud sweet and fair,
Down by the roadside growing;
OF other flowers, rich and rare
And culture, little know ing,
Content its blushing face 10 hide
'Mong its own leaves, when straying
Bees came wandering slde by side
With zephyrs IDLY playing.
The rosebud blossomed out at last
Into the perfect flower,
And, plucked by one who sauntered past
Ere IL had blo0med an nour,
Was tossed ere long aside, poor thing,
Which sweeter grew when dying,
And left, all crushed and whitening,
Upon the roadside dying.
You understand, you say, with scorn,
While listening to my story?
You know which rose, one summer morning
You robbed of all Its glory?
All, man, the heart you cast away
When so il served your pleasure,
My own for many and many q day
Had worshipped without measure.
She knew il not. was not worth
The love you held so lightly,
Bnt could lift her from the earth,
The flower once blooming brightly
The rose you threw away-ah yesl
Again to toy with-neveri
But mine, to worship and bless,
To keep and hold forever.
