A Peculiar Amicti0n.

Mr.. Edwin CowIes, the editor of the
Cleveland Leader, has apeeuliar affiic-
ton. From boyhood he has been
troubled with deafness somewhat of the
nature OF color blindness. He has never
heard the sound of the birds, andunti he
grewto manhood he had always thought
the music of birds was q poetic fiction.
itYou may fill the room with canary
birds" says Mr.. Cowles, 'tand they may
all sing at once and 1 never would hear
a note, but I would hear the hutterings
of their wings. I never heard the hiss
ing sound of the human voice, onse-
quently, not knowing the existence of
that sound, I grew up to manhood with
out ever making it in speech. A por-
ton of the ~consonants never hear, yet I
can hear all the vowels. About a quar-
ter of the sounds in the human voice 1

instrument, although I would hear all

geons, physicians, and aurists in the coun.
try, and they are unanimous in declaring

The Price Of Newspapers.

Canadian newspaper publishers are
becoming alive to what is due to them
selves in return for their heavy outlay.
By disregarding commercial considera-
tions, the Toronto Mail lost the whole
of its original capital lover $100, 000)
and the Toronto Globe, although much
longer established and better p~atronized
as an advertising medium, was making
no suitable returns for the capital in
vested. The result has been an advance
of a dollar a year in the price of both pa
pers. The Hamilton and London dailies
have followed suit. Even now they are
cheaper Than papers of a similar class
published in the United States, where
they charge $12 a year. Our Canadian
city papers should go further and raise
the price of their weeklies to something
above the bare cost of the paper on
which they are printed. No large week
ly worth reading can be published for
less than two dollars a year, and ever at
that price it would not pay the proprie-
tor unless there be a large cash adver-
Using patronage. These so-called
''cheap" papers are dear in the long run,
for they must economic in some way,

G Seu-Lumlnous Photographs.

Selfluminous photographs are at the
present moment, according to the Pho
tographic Meas, attracting much public
attention in Vienna. When these are
examined by daylight they look like
ordinary paper photographs; but in the
dark they are beautifully phosphorescent
in the high lights, have a more or less
feeble glow in the half-tones, and in the
deep shadows possess no luminosity.
The preparation of these self-luminous
photographs is very simple. A silver
print on albumen paper, or collotype, is
rendered transparent by brushing owe
it a mixture of equal volumes of castor
oil and oil of ~turpentine. The superfu-
GUS oil is removed by means of cotton
wood or a linen rag, and the phospho-
resent paint is then put on. The paper
thus prepared is then dried, and after
ward mounted with its reverse side on
cardboard. So soon as it has been ex-
posed to the daylight, and the light PEN
etrates through the transparent or semi
transparents parts, the phosphorescence
of the luminous paint underneath is ex-
cited, and in the dark the image is seer
with all its gradations; brilliant pictures,
and moonlight landscapes, give espec-
tally good results. These self-luminous
photographs were first introduced to the
Vienna public at a ball given by the
chemical students of the Technical high
school on the Sd of March last. The
ladies' ball programmes were decorated
with a sef-luminous picture representing
an alchemist at work in a laboratory.

Whales.

The birthday of whales is celebrated
occasionally in the public schools like
that of the poets. The following is a
little girls composition prepared lately
for that occasion:
Whales is big fish. Whales live a
long time and don't die when they get
old. We had a railroad whale here a
little time ago, just for show. Whales
don't always travel that way. They
mostly go by water so they can sea more.
Most people like to go by rail deadhead,
but whales amt like most people.
ga good while ago people used to
make light of whales, but they don't
some now faint quick enough. The
lamps won't blow up.
"We wouldn't have no newspapers if
it wasn't for coal oil, and railroads, and
pistols and SO forth cause there would
MT be no news.
Whales is like shoes-right and left.
Our railroad whale was a right whale.
Sometimes a whale gets left when the
tide goes out-kind of united. Maybe
there is other kind of whales. Some of
the boys catch 'em in school, but I don't
like that kind, they amt interestin' to
girls"

a STUDY IN Rlack and Wife.

Ar. Morse was an artist. He painted
pictures on canvas. Sometimes he drew
them with q lead pencil. on blocks of
wood. Then the engraver cut them out,
SO that they can be printed in books.
One winter Mr.. Morse was sick. The
doctor told him he had better go to Flor
ida. He went, and stayed there till
spring. The weather there is like spring
all through the winter.
In March, which is cold and windy in
the North, the air isssweet with the per-.
fumeaof flowers. &AN 4<S - -
Oranges grow in Florida. They are
the sweetest in the world. In March all
the orange trees blossom. The leaves
on these trees are green all winter long.
ME- MorseA was very fond OF fishing
and hunting. One day he went five
miles through the forests to lake. From
the live oak trees the trailing moss hung
down like a lady's veil. AS the winds
blew through the pines it made a soft,
sad music. 2 y Ks
When he came to the lake he found a
tree which had blown down into the
water. 1t had been there for years. Its
leaves and branches were all gone. II
was nothing but a long, straight stick.
The artist waiked out on it and fished
all the forenoon. As he started to the
shore he saw a snake asleep on the log.
The snakes bite would kill q man.
Mr.. Morse feared the snake would bite
him. He waited a long time, but the
snake did not move. - ~
He stayed on the log three long hours
more. Then a negro boy came along il
a boat. The boys name was Paul
The artist told him about the snake
The boy with one blow OF his tish-polt
killed him.
"Here is a silver quarter for you,
Paul, " said Mr.. Morse.
Paul lever had so much money be
fore. As he padded home he though
what he should do with it. He made VI
his mind to buy a book. :
He had lust learned to read q little

A Queer Society.

Says a New York correspondent:
''Twelve members of the York Masonic
Lodge of this city organized last year a
society which they styled The Mortal
Twelve of York Its members are:
Frank j. Griffith, Assistant Superintend-
ent of the Delaware Lackawanna and
Western Railroad; William Scott,
Freight Agent of the New York and
New Haven Steamboat Company; Col.
j. B. Montgomery, Thomas Heating,
Harry Gurley, Edward Ganong, Robert
Wharton, Lewis W. Walton, Edwin A.
Quick, J. j. Shay, ]. Hunt, and Fred
Kline. The initiatory fee is SIS, and the
annual dues are 81. No other members
can be admitted, and no person not a
member can attend any of the meetings.
"There is to be regular meeting OF
the society every year on the evening
of the second Wednesday of Octobers at
which a dinner is to be served. On the
death of any member, according to the
bylaws, a special meeting must be
called, and the sole object shall be to
discuss the virtues of the deceased
member, be they many or few. Should
they be few, then each virtue is to be
discussed so much the more thoroughly,
for his shortcomings are not to be men
toned. A rosewood case, divided into
twelve compartments, with a cut glass
bottle in each compartment, containing
a quart of sherry, and on the outside the
owners name, has been deposited in the
vault of a safe deposit company, to be
taken out only when some member OF
the society dies. On that occasion the
case is to be opened in the meeting, and
the wine in the bottle bearing the name
of the departed member is to be drank
by the others in silence. Then the
bottle is to be returned to the case, to
gether with the date of the owners
death and other information concerning
him. 50 b. a
eOn each succeeding similar occasion
all of the bottles, the full and the empty
are to be set before the surviving mem
bers, and the contents of the one bear
ing the name of the member last de
ceased drunk in silence. 1t Is provided
in the bylaws that the last surviving
member, on the death of his solitary as
sociate, should discuss by himself tn
virtues of the departed man, and drinl
of the wine in the bottle bearing hi
name, and he shall thereafter each sue
ceeding year, on the date set apart TO
the annual meeting, have the box ant
contents placed before him, and the
and there shall partake of the REMAINING
bottle or bottles as far as his judgmen
allows or dictates, until the same shall
if possible, be disposed Of
1.-THE twelfth man is enjoined, befor
his death, to b~equeathe the case, its cor
tents, a.copy of the ,society's bylaws
and a synopsis of its history, to his hen
or any other person as he may feel dis
posed, enjoining him to guard an
hand down the same to succeeding gen
erations."

Married Infelfcity.

It is a great pity that people who are
infelicitously married cannot worry along
as best they may without making their
woes public. Most people who seek relief
in the divorce courts fail to findi it. Instead
of gaining the peace and comfort which
they think is Jul to follow on their legal
efforts for freedom, they succeed in
making themselves additionally unhappy
and intensely ridiculous. a'Grin and
bear it." is, perhaps, a hard rule to fol-
low. But it is better to endure than to
court the absurd situations and the
ridiculous criticisms which must follow
on publishing matrimonial misery to a
scandalloving public. = Philadelphia
