One of the recent medical applications
Of electricity is in the treatment Of deaf
ness. The apparatus for this purpose
comprises battery, a belt, an electrode
supporter on the belt and shaped to rest
ON the ear, and connections between the
electrode and the battery. This pro-
vides convenient and efficient mode of
receiving the current, which can be ap-
piled In finely graduated strength.
Superintendent johnson, of the Deaf
and Dumb institute at indianapolis, is
reported as having found in q series of
experiments that the phonograph con-
centrates the sound at the drum Of the
ear in such q way that many of the pu-
pills, otherwise deaf. are thus enabled to
hear. Out of fifty-six boys and girls,
only three girls were unable to hear any
thing at all, while forty could hear

She is coming, my love, DER the sea.
She is coming back once more:
will haste to the port and be

But. oh, be stiIl, my heartl
Will she yet remember the day
Her last farewell was for thee.
The day that she went away?
Where art and poetry were born
She has fingered, In palace aud dome;
She has sailed to the isles OF the morn,
She has trod6en the streets of Rome.
But. oh, be still, my heart!
VIII she yet remember the day
She spoke not with scorn OF home.
The day that she went awNyf
She has drunk of the grape, where the vine
On the purple hillside grows;
She has passed the bound OF the pine
And slakcd her thirst in the SHOWS.
But, oh, be still, my heartl
VIII she yet remember the day
She drew where thy life blood flows,
The day that she went away
She has learned the language of love
From lips that laugh IN the sun,
Where the skies are SO clear above,
Her eyes fresh blue will have won.
But, oh, be still, my heart!
VIII she yet remember the day
Her tears DER our kiss did run,
The day that she went away.
When she left she was slender and
straight
AS the youngest tree In the wood,
But now she will come back great
In the charms of her womanhood.
But, oh, be still, my heartl
Will she yet remember the day
She promised changeless state,
The day that she went awayS
Her tall ships sails are full
With the wind that blows from tho
south:
The stalwart rewers pull
Her skiff from the harbor mouth.
But, oh, be still, my heart!
VIII she yet remember the day
was hero to see her depart.

Twenty-Five Hundred People at Dinner.
Some time ago the Right Hon. A. J.
Balfour was entertained at big ban
quet In the Waverley market, Edin-
burgh. Two thousand five hundred
guests sat down at table. There were
800 walters, sixty wine buffers and fifty
four superintendents engaged to wait
upon them
Two kitchens were specially erected
In the market in which to prepare the
banquet. One kitchen had fifty-four
Bunsen burners, representing one for
each table. There were four large steam
boilers for heating puddings, seven
stoves for the boiling Of sauces and for
frying purposes, and three boilers of
large size, each with a capacity Of about
seventy gallons, for dealing with the
plum puddings which formed part of
the dessert.
The quantities Of viands were $50
turkeys, 200 fowls, 400 game pies, $500
oyster pattiee, 200 gallons of turtle soup.
about half ton of sirloin of beef, and
jelly and cream shapes to the number of

and $4,000 pieces of silver, including
spoons, knives and forks; 10000 wine
glasses and about thousand pieces of
decorative ware for the tables.-London

"The ex-resident OF Tonquin told me

we call pistol grips.

of all was the executioner's sword used
by the late headsman of Annoy. 1t is of

straight, very heavy and keenly edged,
It Is used with one hand and is shaped
and wound so as to give the executioner
powerful hold upon his weapon. Upon
the blade near the hilt are Chinese char
acters recording the tragic events in
which it has taken active part. My In
terpreter told me that theyrecord no
less than 1913 human lives which 1t has
taken out of this world. This record
enhances Its value. A new sword of
the same kind could be bought for ten

Genuine Bay Rum.

Genuine bay rum is always imported.
There are few barber shops where the
genuine article is used. Genuine bay
rum is. manufactured only in the West
Indies. 1t is the distillation of the green
leaves and berries of the bayberry tree.
mixed with absolutely pure rum, st.
Croix being used In the very best quality
of the preparation.
There Is but one true bayberry, but
there are many varieties of it in the
West Indies, and 80 closely do they re-
semble the Primemia oeris, or true bay,
that great care is necessary in gathering
the leaves, for the presence of a small
quantity of the leaves of any other vari-
ETY. is sufficient to destroy the entire
product of a still. Ripe berries are
mixed in the still with the leaves. The
best bay is distilled by steam in copper
pipes, but the ordinary commercial
spirit, such as bay rum is made from
here, is distilled over an open fire.
The genuine steam distilled bay spirit
Is not only many times stronger than
the other, but the refreshing odor that
characterizes it is ten times as lasting.
The West Indians find the true bay rum
30 necessary to their comfort among the
numerous discomforts attending a life
In the climate of their country that they
use about all that is made, and hence
its scarcity In this and other countries.
