The deaf man has Just discovered
that riding in a rumbling car robs his
affection Of its terrors. and is getting
even with his back biting acquaint.
ances who have expressed their opin.
ions Of him heretofore without re-
serve. An eccentric millionaire, who
had no hearing under ordinary cir.
cumstances. found Il lis u the other
day at the expense Of his lawyer, and
the latter now mourns the loss of his
most profitable client while the deaf
nan thinks he has learned a thing or
two.
The lawyer IA sitting in n car talk
ing to a friend when his wealthy
client entered anu dropped intothe va.
cant seat beside his legal adviser.
This old curm Jdgeon will talk me
deaf, dumb and blind, said the Black
stonian TO his companion. and they
both scowled al Moneybags, who was
looking out Of the car window. He
has spent lots Of money with me. but
it's worth a mint TO yell in his ear.
I'm tired OF it, He is as deaf as a
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 al
each other amazed. The lawyer set
about to find how his client recovered
his hearing so quickly.
1t is due 10 the counteraction Of the
noisy motion Of the drum Of the ear"
said the aurist TO whom he applied 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 voluntarily raise their
voices in a car. That is not so. Al
ways speak in a low voice to a deaf
person in a moving a or vehicle" y

Battle Between Golden Eagles.

Mr.. Alexander Shaw. farmer, Old
town Stratherick, was going his usual
rounds to look after his sheep. While
going past a small clump of birch
wood among very long heather, he
fancied he heard a peculiar iutter
among the bushes.
He took little notice, but the noise
being repeated, he went to see what
was ado, He found two golden eagles
fighting, firmly fixed in each other
with beak and talons.
On his approaching, one Of the birds
noticed the intrusion and let go his
hold. The other held his opponent
fast in his talons. Mr.. Shaw then got
up quite close and got hold of one of
them. He put his foot on the other
ones neck.
he searched his pockets and found
a little bit OF string, Just enough To
tie one of the eagles. While he was
tying the n he kept he let the other
one off.
The bird was moi able TO take flight
for considerable time after being set at
liberty, being much done out with the
fight. The other one, which Mr.. Shaw
took home. docs not seem to be any
the worse.
What seems most strange is that the
eagles are seldom or never seen SO low
down the country. My belief is that
they must have been fighting for a
long time in the skies. the one having
been pursuing the other till they fixed
in each other and dropped. Rod and
Gun.

The First Fuchsia In England.

Mr.. Lee, a n%urseryman of Hammer
smith, in l1S9, was the first To obtain
and increase this plant for sale, and
the traditional account Of his good
fortune in the matter may interest
some of those who now admire the
fuchsia rs "A popular garden flower.
\ hundred years ago the vineyard
nursery garden neal keusington was
as renowned for It's rare collection of
exotics as il had been al a still earlier
date for its llouilslling vineyard and
the good wine made and sold on the
premises, One day a visitor fond of
plants called and was shown all the
floral treasures of the place by the pro
mieloT himself. All. Mr.. Lee" said
the visitor at parting. Il saw a won
dcrful plant Towering M a cottage
window at Wrapping the other day,
with dropping crimson flowers and
buds like coral eardrOps, and | have
seen nothing 50 beautiful in
house today"
The great nuIseryman was a little
piqued at the idea Of anything in Il
window being compared with his
choicest hot house r%aritieS. aud curl
osity prompted him to make inquiries,
the result being that lie drove down
to Mapping next day, and there, sure
enough. in the window Of IA humble
dwelling was the first fuchsia he had
ever seen. Half beside himself with
exultation of such a beautiful discov-
cry, he o introduced himself TO the
owner of the plant, who told him that
her Jack the sailor had brought it
home til him on his return from
South America. and that, poor as she
was, nothing would induce her to
part with the plant, or, as she called
il, 'her keepsake" After some per-
s%uasion, however, Mr.. Lee induced
her to let him take away the
plant, and in return he emptied
his pockets of all the money
he had about him several gum
eas), at the same time promising
that a plant should be returned to her
after he had succeeded in increasing il
from cuttings or slips. And SO from
the cottage at Mapping the first fuch-
sia was brought TO the aristocratic
side of London. and the story spread,
