drumming in the ears; and this will
sometimes destroy the hearing if the di-
yer remains too long below. Four hours
two in the morning and two in the af-
ternoon-constitute days work, and if
the diver restricts himself to this limit
there is little or no danger of his beeom-
ing deaf; but if he goes much beyond it
he is pretty sure to injure his hearing. |
once remained under water for nine
hours, and as a consequence completely
lost the use of my left ear for three
months, during which time | suffered
agony with earache. Eventually, how
ever, my hearing became normal again.
Aside from this, the sensations are de-
lightful, and | feel just as well, happy
and contented at the bottom of the sea
as | ever can under any circumstances.
While engaged in raising the sunken
schooner Dauntless in Kingston, Jamaica

SO disgusted at the stupidity of the men

nearly an hour. l once knew diver,
Tom Brintley by name, who, though
thoroughly competent man and good
fellow, was little too fond of stimuants.
On one occasion he went down with
pretty good cargo of spirits aboard, and
the men above, not knowing his condi-
ton, became seriously alarmed when
several hours passed by without their re-
ceiving any signals from him or any re-
sponse to those they made to him. An
other diver was sent down to look for
him, and found him lying on his back on
the bottom of the ocean, sixty feet be-
low the surface, fast asleep. ''What is
the greatest depth l ever descended to?
Well, about ninety feet, and it takes me
about three minutes to 60 down that

days later the justices OF the Supreme
Court dined with the President. Judge
Davis was a guest. When the cigars
were lighted the President, with mock
formality, rendered his congratulations
to the President of the Senate The
Judge protested that there Was no reason
why he should be congratulated. The
President persisted in his congratula-
tions, and the judges demanded to know
the mystery. The President told of the
visit Of Judge Davis and Miss Green.
The veteran Jurist pooh poohed the idea
of marrying the lady, and he squirmed
under the pleasant congratulations that
were offered on every side. You may
deny as much as you please, judge, but
you don't dare sign a quit claim in my
favor, banteringly remarked the Prcsi-
dent. The judge drew piece of paper
and pencil from his pocket and, in care
full legal form, drew up and signed a
REIMBURSEMENT of all right, title and in
terest to Miss Green. provided the Presi,
dent proposed marriage to her within the
term of one year. This he signed and
delivered to tie President in the presence
Of the court. General Arthur has been
remarkably reticent regarding the affair
since the engagement of Jndse Davis to
Miss Burr was announced.

A QUIT CLAIM-AN ANECDOTE OF
SENATOR DAVIS COURTSHIP.

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia PrCSs sends his paper the
following amusing story about the court
ship of David Davis:
The judge was extremely reticent about
his new matrimonial venture, and after
it was positively known that he was en-
gagged 20 Miss Burr he lodged and
evaded every "feeler" thrown out by
his numerous friends. In fact, the re-
peated denials on the bridegroom's part,
and the air of mystery thrown about the
affair, attracted more attention to the
romance than would have followed a
frank avowal of the engagement. With
all the good-humored wagging that the
judge has suffered during the past three
months, he has one consolng episode to
remember.
Last winter Miss Burr and Miss Green
the daughter of Representatives. elect
Green, of North Carolina, at whose resi-
dence the wedding took place, visited
Washington as the guests Of Mrs. Hoge
the wife of the representative from West
Virginia. Both these ladies were anxious
to visit the White House and see the
President but the judge did not wish to
escort Miss Burr. He was perfectly will
ling to show Miss Green the sights, and
he addressed a note to the President, say
ing that he wished to call with lady at
the Executive Mansion. The President
appointed time and the visit was paid.
Miss Green is a young and very hand
some person, and the President immedi-
ately jumped to the conclusion that she
was Judge Davis intended bride. lie
showed her every aetention, escorted the
couple through the house and conserva-
tory. pluclled bunch of flowers for the
lady, and talked until the Judge became
impatient to leave. When the couple re-
turned to the hotel the old gentleman
observed to Miss Burr that Miss Green
had captivated the President. A few

EGGS IN LEN T.

About forty eight thousand dozen eggs
reach the Philadelphia market every day,
some of which are shipped to other places.
About two hundred Thousand dozens per
week are consumed in this city alone.
These come from Pennsylvania, Mary
land, Ohio and Delaware. They are sell
ling just now at twenty-four or twenty
live cents dozen, wholesale prices. Tho
| retail prices are from twenty-eight to
thirty cents. TO a reporter 7. W. Stap-
ler, Spruce street dealer in eggs, said
that the market here for a couple of
weeks past had been rather weak. The
Pennsylvania Railroad only brings now
an average of sixteen hundred packages
day. When the weather moderates and
the hen has realized that Easter has
come, then eggs will be much more plen-
titul, and consequently, much cheaper.
Though as Easter week comes so early
in the season this year it is supposed that
they will not be as cheap as they have
been heretofore. The western shipment
of eggs at this season is just as good as
those which come from points nearer
home and sell for the same prices. Some
people pack eggs away in ice houses in
the fall of the year to sell during the
wiater when the hen is obliged to hang
her hea with a realizing sense Of her
little Importance. But these are not
liked by Philadelphians, says Mr.. Stap-
Ter, "as, of course, they are not as good
and sweet as the fresh articles. L dea-
ler can always detect them, as the white
evaporates through the porons shell and
then the Folk will rattle when the egg is
shaken. may say there are none such
on the Philadelphia market at all
And do you keep basin of water
handy in order to tell whether the eggs
are good or not?' queried the reporter
"Oh, no. was the reply, sit is Sc
cret of the trade which | will tell YOU if
you promise not to repeat it, We simply
darken the room and light a candle.
Then we look through the egg toward
| the light, and il it is clear and there are
no dark spots floating around then we
know it is perfectly good. And you
must know" continued the dealer '.that
We have an egg inspector in this city
named Harvey Barton. Ii | sell eggs at
the exchange, representing them to be of
certain quality, and the purchaser de-
nies this after he has received them, we
call IN the inspector to settle the dispute
and abide by his decision. Since the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad has been
built quite trade has sprung up between
the Southern States and this city, and
think | am safe in saying that we now
receive three times as many eggs from
! the South as We did before. '-PHHadc-

IncubatorS for Babes.

The report of some remarkable expert
from France. DR.. Tavernier, a learned
and ingenious physician, had his atten-
tion much attracted to the immense sue
cess which has attended the artificial in
cubatioI OF chickens. He was attached
to hospital for foundlings, and the ma
.iority of the infants admitted to the hos.
pital were week, sickly children. The
doctor constructed his child incubator on
precisely the model of the ordinary chick
en- incubator. He then selected a "mis.
erably made infant" who had come into
the world at an injudicious'y early peri
cd. The infant was placed in the incu-
bator with nursing bottle, and kept in
dark room. It ceased to cry on the
second day, and to the surprise of the
doctor, though it had been a preternat-
urally sleepless child, it sank into deep
and quiet sleep. Itremaned eight weeks
III the incubator, during which time it
never once cried and never remained
awake except when taking nourishment.
At the end of sixty days, when it was re-
moved from the incubator, it had the
appearance of healthy infant of at
least year sd. lie then tried a child
of six months, addicted to the usual
pains and COLES. This child conducted
itself as its predecessor had done, never
cried, spent its whole time in sleep; and
grew as if it had made up it's mind to
embrace tie career of a professional
giant. 1t had doubled it's weight in six
weeks, resembled child of three years,
and could actually walk by holding to
convenient piece Of furniture. The doc
tor now has an incubator of the capacity
of 400 infants, andeiA-it has placed
everyone of the $50 infaslts varying from
eight days to eleven mcnths, who were in
the hospital. There was one death of
''congenital hydrocephalus, and one
was reclaimed by its repentant parents
The others Were only removed when they
had outgrown their BEDS. So enthusias-
tic is the DOCTOR that besides seeiug the
system introduced into every children's
hospital in France, he believes soon it
will be adopted in every private family
throughout the civilized world.

THE CARE OF THE TEETH.

The influence of the teeth upon the
nervous system is recognized as an i'm
portant one by medical experts, and the
science of dentistry is constantly increas-
ing ingeneral esteem. Defective eth may
cause a long list ofnervous ailments, and
and the eye and ear may both suffer seri-
ously from their influence. The total
loss of vision or sense of hearing has been
known to result from disease of the teeth,
and catarrh and neuralgia are both in
the list of maladies which may have tie
same origin. The services of good den-
tist in early life may save large expendi-
lures in doctors fees in later years, be-
sides preventing much distress. 1t is gen.
orally understood or should be, that it
pays to take good care of ones natural
teeth, and that it is better to have them
all removed than to let them make the
cavity of the mouth the abode of disease.
One of the most distinguished specialists
in surgery of the ear New York has
ever known gives an earnest warning as
to the care of the teeth for the sake of
the nervous system.

General Impross1ou THAT It VIII BE De-
clared Constitutional by the supreme
Court
CoLUMBUs, June 10 1t should be under
stood that there is nothing in the rules or
practice Of the Supreme Court to prevent
Judge Johnson sitting on the Scott Law, al
though he did not hear the arguments
Practically the whole case will be submitted
to the Court on briefs and reported speeches
The only two addresses made outside of the
briefs were by Messls. Hoadly and West, and
they were both reported in shorthand, and
will be printed for the use of the Court Not
only that, but the Court has allowed until
next Saturday for the presentation of addi-
tional briefs 1t is thought that Judge Nell
vaIne will write the opinion, as he acted as
Chief Justice pro tenn.
OF course all things are possible to Provi-
0ence and the Supreme Court; but there IS
almost a unanimIty in the belief here,
among Democrats as well as Republicans,
that the law will be declared Constitutional.
Democratic lawyers, who sat as hearers all
through tie case, with plelu0lces and hopes
all on one side, admit that the State had Dy
far the better of the argument Even Judge
HCaCly as much as intimated that his blind
opponent, Judge West, completely demol-
isbed the Cleveland contention of impair
ment of contracts. The State attorneys now
express more confidence than before the ar
gument that the law is all right. The Gin
cinnati saloon keepers left Columbus COM
pletely discouraged. They had not only be-
come convinced that they were on the losing
side, but they felt astonished at the temper
ance lecture Of Judge Hoadly. If the Law
IS declared unconstitutional the saloon keep
ers and their legal advisers will be more as
tonist ed than the State attorneys will be.
