Deaf Len Ears.


 Will you be good enough to let me walk at your other side?n said a gentle man to a companion with whom he was crossing the City Hall park. "I am deaf in my left ear and l have been trying for i've minutes to get at your left side. so that 1 might hear what you say; but you seem to have been endeavoring to prevent Dlc.
 Why. of course have. was the re ply Il, too. am deaf in the left ear. and If we change sides l could no, hear a word you said.
 Both gentlemen looked asionished and went on their way laughing.
 "Tfpre is nothing unusual in such an experience. said q New York aurtist The left ear is peculiarly liable to deaf ness ur partial loss of hearing. An i'm mense number of persons rely wholly, or in great measure. upon the right ear to do the duty of two. and it very soon becomes trained to fully bear the pressure placed upon it Persons who have long been de prived of the hearing of the left ear can usually hear sounds at a distance far more distinctly than those whose hearing Is di vided between two ears, owing to the pc culiar sharpness acquired by the solitary organ. which i- seldom sympathetically affected
 "The only inconvenience know of in the loss of hearing by the left ear is when one is walking with lady. or driving a friend in a buggy, or otherwise so situated that you cannot easily get your sound ear toward them. But for constant traveller. such as drummer such an aifiiction is invaluable. No noise in a hotel can keep him awake at night. He has only to press his good ear to the pillow. and what can 1 disturb himy"

The dynamiters think that, because nations at war make use of sub- merged dynamite to wreck unsuspecting vessels and resort to subterraneRnm mines to destroy forts and other works Of de fense, instead of openly testing the real strength of the respective armies. there is, perhaps, less siL in applying this ex nlosive agency to indIvIduai warfare.

HE mining industry of Arizona has, reached a stage where business priucl- pies govern 1t as 10 other investments. We may now lack the "ooOms" winch d few years ago characterised new dis cOveries, and the inauguration of work upon the same, but ledses and deposits of mineral are being developed more sys- tematically, though perhaps more slow ly. There WAS tune in the history of ta. Territory when tn, first work toward development of fair prospect" was the purchase and erection Cf a mill. Too frequently the result was that after re- duction works had been put in, 1t was discovered that the ore was not of sufii- cIent quality or quantity to yield prof. able returns, and losses all the way rom S20,000 to five times that amount would be sustained, when the companies interested would be compelled to sus- pend operation, and the members there of made to believe, quite naturally, that as mining region AIlzoDa was a failure Bat the day of sucn reckl, sss methods ID mining has passed, so far as Arizona IS concerned. A mine IS now pretty thor uughly developed before machinery Is purchased, and while this care will not invariably insure success, (for mistakes are made in mining as we'll as Tn all other lines of business) the result Is that industry assumes at once a more perma- nent and less speculative form. As rule the mining enterprises now being pushed In this Territory are conducted on intelligent, practical and scientific principles, and are handled bY men of experience and not mere novices. Un- occasionally there are idle mines in Arl- zona as rich in every respect as any heretofore developed, and the present indication is that they wili steadily be brought to the producing stage by the methods now in vngue, swelling our revenues surely and largely.-Pnenix Gazette
