Effects of Using the Telephone.

at the meeting Of the American Oto-
logical society in Washington, DR.. Clar-
ence j. Blake, of Boston, read a paper
on the influence Of the use Of the tele-
phone on hearing power. He thinks
that this influence must be injurious, be-
cause the extremely low intensity, as
demonstrated by experiment, OF the
compelled strain of the ear which soon
fatigued it, and made it especially liable
to injury by the accidental sounds Of
comparatively high intensity, which
were constantly liable to be heard. Dr.;
C. q. Burnett said he had seen several
patients who believed that the continued
use Of the telephone had impaired their
hearing. Dr. o. D. Pomeroy gave the
case of patient who said the use of the
telephone fatigued her very much: and,
she thought, had made her decidedly
worse.-Science.

George N. Stroat, Of Nebraska City,

ham Lincoln in 1852 1t is an answer TO
an invitation to attend a banquet in Bos-

ssAn honor to Jefferson, to the man
who, in the concrete pressure Of a strug-
gle for independence by a single people,
had the coolness. forecast and capacity
to introduce into merely revolutionary

TO all men and eli times, and so to en-

The saloon keepers do not get much sympathy from the press of the state in
 their almost defiant purpose to violate the
 screen law. They are told to obey the
 law. The foolish objection to it on ac- count of it's alleged ''unconstitutionality"
 was pretty effectuaily considered by Judge Pickett in New Haven police court
 last week, and very little comfort the sa-
 loonists from 1t. The meeting of the coun- ty commissioners in Hartford recently also
 developed 6 sentiment in favor of the strict enforcement of the law, some of the com-
 missioners going liar as to suggest that
 all bars should be brought close up to the street where they could be easily inspected on Sundays and after closing hours at night. It is the part of wisdom for the saloon keepers to cordially submit to the operations of this law. It Is a healthful one, and has come to stay.
 Some excitement is reported from Wis., consin where pearls have been found in fresh water mussels. This will remind many of our older readers of similar ex- citement in this state Q few years ago, when nearly every one had an attack of the
 'spearl fever" The brooks and small streams of the state were thoroughly wad- ed and explored for the little black mussel
 shells, and their slimy contents examined with the greatest care lest some gem might escape notice. There is no record of any one in this state having grown rich from the sale of mussel shells, however. The gems existed, certainly, but they were not
 regarded as of great value by experts.
