TUE NOISE OF THE FINGER.-Dr Ham
mond says that when you poke the end of
your finger in your ear, the roaring noise
you hear is the sound of the circulation in
your finger, which is fact, as any one can
demonstrate for himself by first putting his
fingers in his ears, and then stopping them
up with other substances, Try it and
think what wonder of machine your
body is, that even the points of your fin
gers are such busy workshops that they
roar like small Niagara The roaring is
probably more than the noise of the eircu-
lation of the blood 1t is the voice of all
the vital processes together-the tearing
down and building-up processes that are
always going forward in every living body
from conception to death.

They dropped the letter. The bride of
a day glanced at her mother, and her
mother back again at her. There was
nothing of hope in either white face for
the other. Both looked toward the par
lor door and shuddered. The utter
desolation of despair in their new loss
was chilling their hearts. There was no
need to open the room to know the hor-
rible thing it held for them.
The chain was complete. Thomas
Crane was responsible; and they knew
he had kept his oath.

The Bachelor and the Baby.

In one of our sleeping cars in America the
was an old bachelor who was annoyed bySba
continued crying Of child and the ineffectul
attempts of the father to quiet it. Pulling
aside the curtain and putting out his head, he
said: where is the mother of that child ?"
The father said very quietly: "The mother
is in the baggage car in her coffin. l am trav
cling home with the baby. This is the second
night have been with the child, and it is
worrying for its mother. l am sorry if its
plaintve cries disturb any one in this car"
"Wait a minute" said the old bachelor. The
old man got up and dressed himself. and COM
PEELED the father to lie down and sleep while
he took the baby himself. The old bachelor
stiliug the cry of that baby all night was a
hero. And the man who, for the sake OF 9TH
ers, gives up lawful qualification in his own
house or social circle, is as great hero as
though he stood upon the battlefield.
