Germany has universal suffrage and
triennial elections for members of the
Reichstag of Imperial Parliament. The
total registered vote in the empire is
about 100000, or somewhat smaller
than that of the United States. The
members of one of the numerous Ger
man parties are called "Secessionists"
not, however, because they are in favor of
the secession of any part of the German
Empire, but because they are seceders
from the old National Liberal party,
which was not sufficiently radical for
them in its party platform. There are
ten recognized parties in Germany, all
of which will be represented by mem
bers of the Reichstag.

One of the most interesting questions
before the Grand Plenary Council of
the Catholic Church now in session at
Baltimore, is that of introducing the
canon law into the government of the
church in the United States. At pres
ent the bishop of diocese has the pow
er of removing priest at pleasure, but
for some time there has been q dispo-
sition among the clergy to bring the
church in this country under the canon
law, when parish priest would hold
his position during life, or good behav-
ior. The parish priests would then
have right to nominate their own
bishop. It is also thought that some
action will be taken in the matter of
mixed marriages between Catholics and
Professionals, matter that has been for
some time q pressing question, the i'm
portance OF which is fully appreciated
by the prelacy. Educational questions
will also doubtless be considered, but
the conclusion arrived at by the Coun-
Gil will probably remain unknown for
some time, as it is understood they
must await the action Of authorities ct
Rome before being promulgated.

At Berlin on the 2uth the Reichs tag opened
with the usual formalities:
The imperial speech called attention to the

made; announced that bills would be intro
duced extending the system of workingmen's &C.
cident insurance and saving bank; sanctioning
an imperial contribution toward the expense of
admitting Bremen into Zolverein: to
ship company. In connection with this
communication will be laid before the
reichstag concerning settlements placed under
imperial protection. It was necessary to Gre
ate new sources of revenue. Great depression
in the sugar industry rendered an increase of
the tax on beet sugar difficult The EN-
peror William, in the course of his speech,
spoke of the continued accord between Ger
n,anv and France. He said Germany has sum-
moned conference of the powers to secure
Africa from disturbance arising from internal
friction. The universal acceptance of the con-
ference proves that the friendliness Of the
powers toward Germany is based on the fact

A boy not yet twelve years old is al
most weekly visitor at the New York
eye and ear infirmary. We'll" said
the aurist, as he saw him come in rs
usual one afternoon, "what have you
got in there this timer" "Nawthin'
but beam" he drawled. The boy had
fallen into the bad habit Of putting such
things into his ears as shoe buttons,
pieces Of slate pencils and wads OF pa
per. The aurist recently met with
remarkable illustration of this perni-
cious practice, which he related to re-
porter of the New York Times:
A young woman of twenty-three came
to me so deaf that could hardly make
her hear by shouting through trum-
pet. After removing a great quantity
of wax from her ears I found something
metallic.
"What's this?" I said. "Have you
been putting something in your ear?"
"Oh, dear, no." she said. II am not
so foolish as that"
Imagine her surprise when 1 pulled
out a round smooth button, with quite
large shank to it. "This seems to
have been in there great many years,
I said. To my surprise the young wom-
an crouched in the corner in undis-
guised terror.
20 doctorl" she said; "what is that
awful noise? ?"
It was nothing but wagon rumbling
by, but instantly saw what the trou-
BILE was. Her hearing had become nor
NAL when removed that button. and
she was frightened and bewildered at
the tumble of confusing sounds.
The ticking of the clock, chirping of
the canary, or dripping of water dis
tressed her, and the rustic of her own
silk dress made her start with fear.
I sent one of the assistants home with
her in carriage, and he said that the
clatter in the streets 50 distracted her
that he was compelled to hold her IN her
seat. About week afterward she came
in again
"And wanted that button put back
again, I suppose?" interrupted the re-
porter.
Oh no; she was trimming over with
happiness, though for day or two she
was afraid to leave the house. But she
told me about that button.
when l was about eight years old, ="
she said, II was sent to the village
church in New England with my grand
mother. The sermon was always long,
and I used to amuse myself by pulling
ct the brass buttons on my coat.
Zone of them came off one Sunday,
and I occupied my time with putting it
in my ear and shaking it out again.
Suddenly felt it sink away in there,
and I could not get it out.
II was afraid to tell my grandmother
at the time, and soon afterward forgot
it. At ten years of age I began to grow
deaf, and have been getting worse ever
since, but / never once thought of that
button until you removed it,"
