Nerves and Noises.

Newspaper writer's are commenting
extensively upon the uproar of cities.
They say that nature has provided the
eye with a contrivance for protecting
itself against unpleasant sights, and one
has only to hold his nose in coming in
contact with anything disagreeable to
the olfactolies. Meanwhile the ears
stand open like doors that cannot
be shut. All sorts of rackets, from the
bells of the peddlers TO the sharp clank-
ing of the cars of the elevated railroad,
rap on the ear. drum. 1t has been sug-
gested that if u lison or somebody could
invent some kind of contrivHnce to be
worn over the ears that would take up
all these discordant sound. waves and
arrange them into concord and music,
life in our cities might be made more
tolerable. DR.. F.. b. Foote'S .F'ealH

American Girl Dinlomntists.

1t is a singular fact that fifteen of the
ladies connected with the present di-
plomatic corps at Washington are
American girls whose beauty and diplo-
macy captured distinguished husbands.
Among the number are wives of the
French, italian, Guatemalan and Turk.
ish ministers and many others of lesser
rank, including Mrs. Yung Wing, of the
Chinese legation, who was a Miss
Bartlett, of Connecticut. In the di-
plomatic corps of Europe there are also
several American ladies, such as the
wife of the italian minister to the Hague
and others. Whether American women
have peculiar pehchant for diplomacy,
or diplomatists for them, is a difficult
question to decide. At all events, di-
plomacy is career for which ou1
women seem to be admirably adapted.
They have also broken down the exclu-
siveness of hereditary aristocracy, and
some of them are connected with the
Oldest noble families Of England and

Geography Bees.

1t was spelling matches last winter,
but this season the enjoyment is geog-
raphy bees. Bee it ever so humble,
there's nothing like geography. First
they give out easy places; big cities lii e
Dstroit that every body knows abont-
then they get down to places like G
cago, New York, Philadelphia and
Boston, and at last those who rema n
up are foored by asking about Obscure
towns, such as Toledo, Pumpkinville,
Sourkraut, Cleveland, and places of
that class. If any person remains
standing after such an ordeal, the war
dispatches of the Asian campaign are
read from some newspaper, and sppal-
ling names like Polliwollygobles,
Afghugnirkestrick, Dargiiextoygpqzjj,
etc., NOV down the remainder like the
unrelenting swath of Times scythe
These geography matches are epidemic,
and are devasting the Western States,
