Hfs Ears Are the Nest Sensitive
when There 10 the Most Rack es
About.

The deaf man has just discovered
that riding in a rumbling car robs his
afiiietion Of its terrors. and is getting
even with his back biting acquaintance
who have expressed their opinions OF
him heretofore without reserve. An
Eccentric millionaire, who had no
hearing under ordinary circumstances,
found this out the other day at the ex-
pense OF his lawyer, and the latter now
mourns the loss OF his most profitable
client, while the deaf man thinks he
has learned thing OF two.
The lawyer was sitting in a car talk
ing to friend when his wealthy client
enterd and dropped into the vacant
seat beside his legal adviser. This
old curmudgeon will talk me deaf,
and blind" said the Blackstonian to
his companion, and they both scowled
at Moneybags, who was looking out OF
the car window. He has spent lots
OF money with me, but it's worth q
mint to yell in his ear. I'm tired Of it.
He Is as deaf as u post"
Then the deaf man turned around.
You can send me your bill in the
morning" said he "and I'm done
with you"
Lawyer and companion looked at
each other amazed. The lawyer set
about to find how his client recovered
his hearing SO quickly.
1T is due to the counteraction OF
the noisy motion on the drum Of the
ear" said the aurist to whom he APP
piled for information. "The rumble
OF the heavy wheel on the track
causes the drum to vibrate, and the
afflicted one can hear quite plainly
Some people think that they volunta
rily raise their voices in a car. Thai
is not so. Always speak in a low
voice to deaf person In moving ca
or vehicle. .'-Philadelphia Record.

NO PLACE FOR HIM.
a kt. Louis Man Frees Ifis Mind ON
the MIX Business.

"Ive had all OF Detroit | want"
observed man who was waiting for a
train at the Wabash Depot the other
day.
"Dont you like the placer" quer-
led the one addressed.
"Nawl / came here hopeful, but
am going away disgusted."

Why, was thinking OF going into

"Not exactly overcrowded. although
there are enough in it, but ! find that
there is law under which milk is in
spected."
4" But shouldn't it be?"
"It's an insult on the dealers, sir
regular insult. It's the same as say
ing that they would be dishonest If
they could. wouldn't stand it one
minute, sir-not minute"
He got up to walk around and cool
his wrath, and a paper which fell from
his pocket was picked up and passed
around the group. 1t read:

DEsNER, Col, Sept. 2S.-The Colo
RADIO Mining Exchange on Saturday
adopted resolution to investigate the
constitutionality of the Act restricting
the coinage of silver and appointed u
committee OF three with authority to
employ the necessary legal counsel.
The committee propose to visit the
Mint at Philadelphia with hundred

coined into dollars; this being refused,
they will bring suit against the Direc-
tor of the Mint for damages, thus
bringing the subject to the attention OF
the United States Supreme Court.

Bolossy Kirahy, who is probably the
best judge of a chorus girls shape,
says he can tell to dot the size and
shape Of a woman's limb by looking
at her hand. The method he en-
ploys is simple, and in detail is sub
stantially as follows: The knuckle
joint shows the size OF the hip, the
second joint the shape and size of the
knee, and the first joint the height OF
the instep: the tip OF the nail shows
the length Of the foot; the wrist, COM
pared with the width of the open
hand, shows the size OF the waist, and
the amount of flesh on the fatty part
OF the thumb indicates the size OF tho
calf. lie says that he is seldom de-
eelved by this method, and is thus en-
abled to select his chorus without the
necessity Of donning feshings to test
their eligibility. He says that he
would prefer girls for his chorus who
have done hard work; that is If they
nave any shape or beauty at all. They
are usually well developed and muscu-
lar, and what flesh there is on them
Is solid and firm. They can stand any
amount OF dancing, and do not tire
with long travelling.

xx.xa,x m Pleasing Obituary.

Talking Of typographical errors, we
do not remember seeing a more horri-
BILE specimen Of this class OF blund-
ders than one which appeared in an
Eastern exchange recently. AT the
close of an extended and highly eulo-
CYSTIC obituary notice OF a deceased
lawyer, the reporter desired TO say
that "the body was taken to Hull Tor
interment, where repose the remains
of other members OF the family" BY
mistake a letter "e" was substituted
for the Gu" in Hull, changing the
sentence to such a degree that no
extra copies OF the issue OF the paper
were ordered by the family OF the dead
LAWYER.

His Life wa. a Burden.

A rapid knocking on the outside
door OF the guard-house OF a convict
camp, near Atlanta, Ga, at 10
o'clock the other night was an unusual
sound and aroused the guard and
prisoners. "Who's that?" called the
guard. Z" It's me, an escaped convict. )"
The door was opened and there stood a
young white man who had escaped
from the camp year ago when a
storm blew down the prison. He was
invited in and was soon asleep with
the usual chains about his feet. The
captain of the camp tells the following
story: "That convict stated to the
guard that he found life burden,
dodging officers and fearing to look n
man in the face. While running
around he had nearly starved to death
and had no clothes to wear dur
ing the Winter. He preferred the
convict camp to the life he had been
leading. He is now hard at work, and
there is no better behaved convict in
the camp. ."-Exchange.

An Alaska correspondent OF the
New York Times states that while
there is plenty of gold in Alaska, it is
hard to get at. Gold was ever hard
to get at, and the fact makes people
more anxious to obtain it. 1t is al
legged that at present but one Alaskan
mine pays. With improved machin-
cry, however, enterprising men will
doubtless see that the mountains give
up their rich treasures and further en-
rich this great and glorious country.

WHEN WOMEN SHOULD MARRY.
Years when Youth md Health md
yIgor arc in Highest Perfection.

Probably the best time for the aver
aye women to marry would be any
age between "a and "a, says the Hos
pital. II is not said that no woman
should marry earlier or later than
either Of these ages, but youth and
health and vigor are ordinarily at their
highest perfection between these two
periods. Early marriages are seldom
desiiable for girls, and that for many
reasons. The brain is immature; the
reason is feeble and the character is
informed. The consideration which
would prompt girl to marry at IL
would, in many cases, have little
weight with her at "a. At IL she is a
child, at "a q woman.
Where girl has intelligent parents
the seven years between IL and "a are
the period when mind and body are
most amenable 10 wise discipline, and
best repays the thought and toll de-
voted TO their development. Before
II few girls have learned to under
blAllu Nllht lllC Nltdt biBIiDiltlt l6t
what duty is. They cannot value
what is best either in the fathers wis
dom or in the mothers tenderness.
When married at that childish period
they are like young recruits taken
fresh from the farm and the workshop
and hurried off TO O long campaign
without any period Of preliminary
drill AID training, or like schoolboy
removed from school TO a curacy
without being sent TO a university or TO
a theological hall.
Who can help grieving over a child
wife, especially il she have children
and husband who is an experienced |
and possibly exacting boy-man? The
arlor OF his love soon cools; the Wis
ionary bliss Of her poetical imagina-
ton vanishes like the Summer mist
there is nothing left but disappoint-
ment and wonder that what prom
ised to be so beautiful and long day
should be clouded almost before sun
rise.
Execution by Carbonic Acid Gas.
In one OF to-day's papers read that
in neighboring town application had
been vainly made by Mr.. Edison and
various electric light companies to
provide for the killing OF stray dogs by
says New York cores
pondent in the Boston Transcript. /
In Europe IL is we'll known that for
this purpose carbonic acid gas is often
used. That reminds one that cleyer
chemist the other day ridiculed exc
cution by electricity as crude and
bungling method of quickly and
humanely depriving human being of
life. The really scientific way to
cause death is by carbonic acid gas.
All the apparatus needed would be TO
have built one air-tight cell above an
other, with connecting tube and
stop-cock between them. Tie gas |
which is very cheap, should be put in |
the upper chamber, and the prisoner,
with good cigar, il you like, on a
lounge In the lower. On turning the |
cock the gas would descend, and first |
slumber and then death would ensue
very quickly, and absolutely painless.
Compared with this the electrical ap-
pliances with helmet and foot pieces,
and damp sponges, and chair specially
constructed, are absnrdly elaborate
and curiously barbarous.

General Principles 0overnlag the Use q
Greeks and Streams.
The Legal Adviser gives to its read
ers some Information respecting water
rights. which have been . source OF
great trouble and litigation. It is a
general principle. says the writer. that
every owner of land upon u natural
stream Of water has a right to use the
water for any reasonable purpose not
inconsistant with q similar right in the
owners OF the land above. below and
opposite to him. He may take the
water to supply his dwelling. to irri-
gate his land or to quench the thirst Of
his cattle; 70 use it for manufacturing
purposes. such a. the supplying Of
steam boilers or the running Of water
wheels or other hydraulic works 90
long as such use does not affect its vol
ume. But this is nero privilege rum
ming with the land. not q property in
the water itself.
Where the stream II small and docs
not supply the wants Of the different
proprietors living on the stream. none
Of the proprietors can use the water for
either irrigation or manufacturing. but
for domestic purposes and watering
stock ono proprietor will be justified in
consuming all the water. -ga
Twenty years use adverse to the right
OF another will give the person so using
the stream the eight to continue use.
regardless of tho others rights.
And as to the division of water. every
one who owns land situated upon q
stream has the following rights:
To the natural flow Of the stream.
That it shall continue to run In ita
accustomed channels
That it shall fow upon his land in its
usual quantity. natural place and usual
height
That it shall flow OF his land upon
the land of his neighb0r below in accus'
toned place and at its usual level.
These rights he has as an incident To
his property in tho land. and he can
not be deprived Of it by grant or pres
cription.
II any one shall make any change In
the natural flow OF q stream, to the
material injury Of any owner situated
upon it. or by any interference shall
prevent the stream from flowing a. il
was to wont flow. he is responsible for
the damage he may occasion. These
rights are subject to the privilege Ol
each one to make . reasonable use ol
the water upon his own land while it is
passing along the same. 1t matters
not what the source Of the water may
be. whether it be backward or the how-
| age Of the same. or the water OF anoth-
