A St ouis gentleman has invent
ed a device which will. in a double
sense, gladden. the ears of the deaf in
the land. 1t consists of a contrvance
which can be located in the handle
of cane. umbrella or fan, and which,
when placed in the ear OF deaf per-
son, will oause him or her to hear any
sound that is audible to the ear of a
person who is not afflicted with deaf
ness. The device which produces the
effects is tube about six inches long,
placed in the hollow of cane or fan.
In the tube IS cone-shaped electrical
coil. beginning at a small battery at
the lower end of the tube and terminal
ing at the upper end. The vibration of
the coil causes a multiple alton OF any
sound or noise passing into the tube
through small opening in the side of
the cane or fan. 1t is simply a multi
plication of sound by electricity and
the projection of steady current of
electricity against the weakened or
paralyzed tissues of the ear The in
vention is the result of a man who has
been himself almost completely deaf
for several wears.

Helpless Upon : Friend,... So,

Who, In taking passage in great trans
Atlantic steamer, does not feel q thrill Of
exultatlon over her magnificent power.
Against her the Storm King may hurl his
elemental forces, nor pierce her armor. nor
stop her onward course.
But let me describe q scene when. ona
morning in mid-ocean, there came an
alarm from the pilot house followed by q
cry: The ships rudder is lost!o From
the confident expression, CONSERVATION
came to every face. The wheelman being
helpless to direct her course, the vessel
was at the mercy of wind and wave.
The captain had been negligent-the
hangings of the rudder were allowed to
wear weak, and suddenly it had dropped
deep into the sea!
Strong in intellect, in physical vigor, in
energy and in ambition, man confronts,
undaunted, gigantic tasks and commands
applause for his magnificent achievements.
But, all unexpectedly, an alarm comes
the rudder of his constitution is gone. He
has been careless of its preservation; mem
tai strain, nervous excitement, irregular
habits, over work, have destroyed the ac-
ton of his kidneys and liver. This would
not occur were Warmers safe cure used to
maintain vigor. And even now it may re-
store vitality to those organs and give
back to the man that which will lead him
to the haven of his ambition.-1he Traveller.

Dakota Girl Farmers.

New stories constantly appear of girl
farmers who are making fortunes in
Dakota. These stories are not lies, but
when they get into print there is a halo
of romance about them which does not
exist in Dakota. These girl farmers are
not from among Colonel P. DOMAINS
late importations of Boston blue stock
ings, but were of the pioneers who went
into the Territory six or eight years
ago, and they are ladies who offer no
inducement to the fortune-hunter. The
girl who has developed in Dakota is
creature by herself; there is something
in the climate which gives her special
development, mentally ard physically,
and she rates sweetheart as she would
a horse. When a young man has fol-
lowed her on a reaper half day around
a hundred-acre wheat-feld he doesn't
quote any Tennyson at lunch, and after
he has helped her to break in yoke of
steers he'd rather have arnica than ca
resses. That is the reason we hear SO
much of girl farmers in Dakota who re-
main single-they are SO practical and
so severe. Chicago Tribune.

IT'S AWFULLY SWELL.

Society Ladies Now Carry Their Parasols
as the Princess Carried Hers in .Ire-
land.
THE society women of New York
are very quick to catch the fashion,
especially if it be English" said a
well-known English actor. as he stood
in front of the Windsor Hotel yester-
day, while watching the stream of car
riages that rolled toward the park.
Nearly every victoria that passed was
occupied by one or two ladies, and in
every instance they held their parasols
in both hands straight up and down in
front of their faces and within an inch
of the tips of their noses. Their hands
and arms were precisely in the position
In which a soldier places his when he
presents arms. 1t impresseS the OBJ
server at first with the idea that
the woman is afraid that the para
sol will blow out of her hands
if she does not hold it firmly.
..Do you see how common the fash
ION is?" continued the actor. well,
that is all the result of the Prince of
Wales trip through Ireland. Ameri-
can ladies formerly carried their para
soils gracefully and easily while driving.
but when illustrated London papers
came over here with pictures of the
Princess of Wales and her escort driv-
ing about the Irish cities, and holding
their parasols like fiagstaffs. an in
Simultaneous change swept over New
York, and within Il month all the
women were carrying their parasols as
the Princess of Wales carried hers.
And it's awfully swell, too, don't you

CHARACTER.

How Good and Bad Qualities Grow and
Are Deyeloped-The Right Time to Build
for the Future.
You know, dears, there are shops in
our large cities where one can 60 and
buy suit of clothing all ready to be
put right on and worn; but have any of
you ever heard of shop where ready
made" characters were for sale? No,
indeed! Character is something that
grosOs and develops in every boy and
girl Little by little every day, grows
with their growth and strengthens with
their strength, until, at last, like a cloak,
or coat, it envelopes them. Look at papa
He is an honest, upright man, prompt,
conscientious and reliable in business,
and at home tender, affectionate and con-
siderate. Now, do you suppose he waited
until he became man to develop these
qualities? And did mamma gain her win
someness and gentle manners, her pa
thence and forbearance, after she had
grown to womanhood? No, my dears,
these admirable traits were cultivated in
youth and encouraged until they be-
came fixed and permanent qualities.
Show me boy who likes to lie abed in
Tic IuOIulIlQ, WHO Is always Utuiuo dG
breakfast, late at school, neglectful of
his lessons and duties, and always max
ing excuses for his hardness, and will
show you man who is lazy and unre-
liable, and who will never prosper
one whom no one will honor or respect.
And the girl who is idle, careless of
her appearance, snappish and snariish,
and inclined to procrastinate and put
off, will become a slothful, untidy, cross,
dilatory woman whom none will adj
mire, but whom every one will shun.
But the boy or girl who IS prompt, in
dustrious, persevering, honest and
amiable, who works, plays and stud es
with a will. will make d reliable, pros
porous, noble, generous gentleman, or
d bright, clever. winsome gentlewoman.
Now is the time then, dears, to build
for your future, and grandma hopes if
any of you have formed habits that can
not fail to bring unhappiness when
you are older, you will get rid of them
at once before they become too deeply
rooted. Somebody has taken the word
habit and worked it out i'll this clever
way, which shows how bad habit
sticks, and how hard it is to get rid of.
Habit is hard to overcome. Ii you
take OF the first letter it is "a bit. Ii
you take off another, you still have a
bit left. If you take Off another the
whole of st remains. You take off
another, it is not st. totally used up"
So be sure and form good habits

THE OLD DOCTORS STORY.

A Fathers Last words-.You'ye Always
Been a Good Boy to Me-"
81 have little story to tell you,
boys" the old doctor said to the young
people the other evening. lone day
long, hot day it had been, tool met
my father on the road to town.
81 wish you would take this package
to the village for me, JIM he said,
hesitating.
Now, I was boy of twelve, not
fond of work, and was just out of the
bayfield,, where 1 had been at work
since daybreak. l was tired, dusty
and hungry. 1t was two miles into
town. l wanted to get my supper and
wash and dress for singing school.
My first impulse was to refuse, and
to do it harshly, for [ was vexed that he
should ask this of me after my long
days work. If l did refuse. he would
60 himself. He was a gentle, patient
old man. But something stopped me;
one of Gods good angels, l think.
"'Of course, father, I'll take it l
said, heartily, giving my scythe to one
of the men. He gave me the package.
THANK you. jim he said, L was
going myself, but somehow don't feel
very strong to-day.
He walked with me to the road that
turned OF to the town, and, as he left,
put his hand on my arm, saying again:
Thank you, my son. You've always
been a good boy to me, JIM
II hurried into town and back again.
''When / came near the house l saw
a crowd of farm hands ct the door
One Of them came to me, the tears roll
ing down his face.
Your father he said, fell dead
just as he reached the house. The last
words he spoke were to you
m an old man now, but [ have
thanked God over and over again in all
the years that have passed since that
hour that those last words We're:
You've always been a good boy to
me- "
No human being ever yet was sorry
for love or kindness shown to others.
But there is no pang of remorse so keen
as the bitterness with which weremem
Der neglect or GOODNESS which we have
sho Hn to loved ones who are dead.
DO not begrudge loving deeds and
kind words, especially to those who
gather with you about the same hearth.
In many families habit of nagging,
crossness, or ill-natured gliding, gradu-
ally covers the real feeling OF love that
lies deep beneath.
And after all it is such a little way
that we can go together. - Baptist
Weekly.

CLOVER.
It's Value as a Means For Preserving Fer
tility.


tilty.
We do not yet fully realize the value
of clover as a means of preserving the
fertility of the soil. From DR.. Lawes'
experiments it has been found that the
soil after crop of clover had been re-
moved from it contained largely in
creased quantity of nitrogen, amount
ing to as much as would be required to
supply several large crops of wheat;
and as nitrogen is especially needed for
the growth of wheat, this increase of
it is of exceedingly great service to the
farmer. And as a similar effect has
been noticed to follow a crop of peas
and beans, it becomes of the greatest
advantage to farmers to bring
these crops into their rotation as a
means of improving the soil A strik-
ing instance of the value of clover has
been given by a well-known farmer in
the State of New York who for forty
years past has been able to produce
large crops of wheat every third year
upon a port on of his farm too far dis
tant from the harn-yard to draw ma
nure to it with profit by the aid of
clover alone. The clover was grown
for two years, once for hay and once
pastured and then plowed under being
fortified only by dressing of plaster
in its first year. This part of the
farm was the most profitable part of
it, and showed in a most conspicuous
and practical manner the great benefit
which could be derived from growing
clover as a means of maintaining the
fertility of the soil.-N. Y. Times.
