The nearIpe OF sohooi chIldren.

The result of the examination of 5000
school children in various cities of
America and Europe is that the average
of pupils who have defective hearing is
26 per cent. There were twice as many
with defective hearing among backward
children as among forward children.
Teachers are strongly urged to keep in
mind the liability of existing impair
ment of hearing in backward children,
and either give them nearer seats, with
their best ear toward the desk, or teach
them in separate classes. All boxing Of
the ears of children should be stringently
prohibited. New York Commercial Adj

How the Peddler Got Even.

He rang the bell of Laurel avenue resi-
dence and on the appearance of the servant
begged to be presented to the lady of the
house, says the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
But she has no use for peddlers, replied
the girl.
Il was recommended to call here by a
prominent society lady a few blocAs below,

worked by two cords extending into the
front room. The trap can be set, or in other
words, the mat can be arranged tc display
the word Welcome on such days as you
are prepared to receive company. and at
such times as you are indsposed, or other
wise engaged, the words Not at Home can
be made to stare the would-be caller in the
face at your own convenience. l have al

"Take it away"
"Remonstrance is uselessf"
"Quite So"
"Be careful, madam, or you will compel
me to make a confession"
THAT is entirely unnecessary. Just take

a rece It pretty fashion OF decorating an
English table was the idea of placing on the
table five high silver lamps, with pink tu.le
plated shades, looking like upturned tulips.
One lamp was placed at each square corner
and one IN the center. Between these were
hung pale green silken net hammocks, or
pale yellow or violet, and these were loaded
With rare cut flowers, lust thrown in, half
toll.ng and still fragrant from the wet
lyeopod moss sheltering their stems. The
effect IS charming, and as the slightest
touch makes these cradles rock, the per-
fume is delicious and cool. Another idea
was to fill in the table with small crystal,
silver mounted dishes, containing one bunch
OF grapes, or one peach, or dozen acid

The present style in hairdressing inclines
to greater simplicity and more apparent
naturalnesS, and there Is an effort TO pre-
serve the character and contour of the
head. Three puffs irregulacly arranged
from the ends of the hair that is twisted on
top of the head are becoming, easily ar
ranged without the assistance of a maid or
hairdresser. and seem especially suited to
brown OF black treSseS, which en- PEASANT
need greater richness of ar. angement than
blonde or silvery hair. Crepe or fluffy eff
fects are being adapted TO blonde or gol len
hair, while the pompadour roll is the most
dignitied and stately fashion yet invented
for gray hair.

Henry N. Stanley is the latest novelty in
false hair.

SOME BIG BRIDGES.
Engineering Feats That the AHcients
Would Have Thought Impossible.

Engineering Feats That the AHcients
Would Have Thought Impossible.
The inventors of phrases have much
exercised their ingenuity of late in
coming a proper title for the present
age, and to the list of labels already
made there may surely be added that of
the Age of Big Bridges. The Brooklyn
bridge led the way, then came that
across the Firth of Forth, next the pro-
ject to join the shores of the English
channel, and now congress has been
asked to grant company of engineers
and capitalists the right to span the
Hudson from New York to New Jersey.
It is claimed that this will be the big
gest bridge in the world, the engineer
ing standard being the length of span
and not the length of the whole struct-
ure. Thus, while the English channel
is twenty miles wide at the point to be
bridged, the longest span Of the contem-
plated great link between England and
France is to be but 1900 feet, while the
span OF the North river bridge is to be
1850 feet. A better idea of the bold
ness of this enormous leap may be gatE =
cred from the fact, In comparison, that
the river span of the Brooklyn bridge
is 1,495 feet, while that at Niagara is
but 1,26S feet. The height of this giant
span from the river is to be $50 feet, or
fifteen feet higher than the Brooklyn.
This viii leave the river practically un-
INSTRUCTED.
The dispatch does not say SO in so
many words, but there is very fair in
ternal evidence that the bridge is to be
of the suspension order of construction
the most graceful form of all bridges.
1t is to be built Of steel and steel wire,
materials now so much cheaper than
they were at the time the Brooklyn
bridge was built that the probability is
that the airpassage over the North river
viii be completed at 10 greater if not at
less cost $4,000, 000) than was that over
the East river One important factor in
this probability is the fact that the New
York-New Jersey bridge is to be open
for traffic in seven years from the date
of franchise, while fifteen years elapsed
before the New York Brooklyn bridge
was completed.
The enterprise is undoubtedly a good
commercial one, as the success of the
Brooklyn bridge has proved; and per-
haps by the time the Jersey bridge
is in good running order the spirit
of holiness may have made its way so
far West that we may begin to seriously
discuss the feasibility Of a similar con-
nection between San Francisco and OAK
land. San francisco Chronicle,

Sheep can not mature early if they ars

under scanty feeding that is, the eve

pounds will sell for more than doublet ha

Advantages of the South for the Conduct
of the Dairy Business.
In the last issue of the Southern Gull
tiVator, Mr.. Stahl calls attention to the
advantages for stock raising and grass
culture in the Cotton States over the
States North and West. A further
statement in his article, worthy of no
tice, is that he finds the profits on but
ter much better at the South than in
Illinois, his native State, notwithstand-
ing charges for transportation at the
South are heavier than at the West.
1t is little remarkable under this
condition of things-facts before well
known to the farmers of the Southern
States-that their industries receive 50
little attention from our people. Our
cities get their beef from the regions of
long winters and billiards., their hay
from Western lands worth one hundred
dollars an acre, and their but
ter from cows that are stabbed and
fed the greater part of the year,
at heavy expense. If there can be profit
to Western farmers under the conditions
OF climate and high-priced lands, as
they find them, in the sale of such
products, there must be vastly more,
possible for farmers in better climate,
on cheaper lands ard nearer markets.
1t seems next to impossible to turn
the minds of cotton farmers away from
growing cotton, even though they know
it to be, financially, hurtfuL
We have occasional reports from
dairying in Georgia that are encourage
ing and profitable. The success of Mr..
Webb, of Jasper, is an Instance in point.
Mr.. Webb reports 1900 pounds of butter
from an average Of less than four cows.
making over $50 pounds to the COW.
This makes nice income to meet the
current expenses of the farm, SO as to
make the sale Of heavier products a sur
plus.
The return from dairy farm is not
confined to the sale of milk and butter.
If the stock is properly bred, it's value
will be constantly improved under care
full selection. The sale of stock, under
good management, is much more profit
able than the sale of milk or butter.
A dairy farm is the best kind of fer
tilizer factory. Good cows will very
nearly pay for their food and attention
in the improvement they bring to the
farm in the Wav of manure,

warren looking over the sea at the setting

on Cape Schanck glimmers in the distance.
The sun goes down. There is no moon,

there is sufficient cleaning to make every
