WRITE THEM A LETTER.

Rehoboth Sunday Herald.
Don't go to the theater, lecture or ball,
But stay in your room tonight;
Deny yourself to the friends that call
And good long letter write
Write to the sad old folks at home,
Who sit when the day is done,
With folded hands and downcast eyes,
And think of the absent one,
Write them letter tonight.
Don't selfishiy scribble: Excuse my
haste,
I've scarcely time II write"
Lest their brooding thoughts go wan
deriDg back
To many q bygone night.
When they lost their needed sleep
and rest,
And every breath was q prayer
That God would leave their delicate
babe
To their tender love and care,
Write them q letter tonight.
Don't let them feel that you've no
more need
OF their love and counsel wise,
For the heart grows strangely sensi-
tive
When age has dimmed the eyes;
1t might be we'll to let them believe
You never forgot them quite
That you deemed 1t pleasure, when
far away,
Long letters home to write. Then
Write them letter tonight.
Don't think that the young and giddy
friends
Who make your psstime gay
Have halt the anxious thoughts for
you
That the old folks have today,
| For the sad old folks at home,
With locks fast turning white,
Are longing to hear of the absent
one
Oh, write them letter tonight!

L'p Reading for Deaf PeopIe.

A schOOlmsster gives some usefdl
hints as TO the cultivation of lip read
ing by persons who suffer from i'm.
perfect hearing. He says that if the
deaf would only study this practice
they would find it would help them
to hear better titan anything else, for
the habtt Of watching people when
they talk takes off much of the strain
on the hearing, as sight supplies that
which hearing lacks, namely the
power to distinguish those slight
breath sounds which are employed
for making consonants when speak
ing. 1t is his conviction that II deaf
people would expend some care in
the requirement of this simple but
useful remedy, they would think
their hearing was improving, even il
1t were getting worse, for the longer
they studied it the more perfect they
would become.

Wire Pillows and Cushions

Braided wire pillows, mattresses,
etc, of American make, are finding
great favor IN England. They are
perfectly resilient, accommodating
themselves to every movement, and
are, OF course. always cool. They
promise to supersede the ordinary
stuffed pillows and cushions, which,
with the lapse OF time, become loaded
with dust and germs, and saturated
with Precipitation, and demand what
they seldom get, thorough disintee
ton and cleansing. 1t is suggested
that if the officials Of churches aud
managers of thesters and other pub
lie places would dispense entirely
with the old fashioned stuffed
cushions, which collect dangerous
quantity of dust and microbes, they
would do a public service, and con-
tribute - the general health. 1t is
also pointed out that, fitted with
wire cushions and wire padding, rail
way and carriage seats would be al
ways shapely, and practically indie
structible.

A DANGEROUS CHARACTER.
Look Out for Man Who Attempts to Hyp-
notixe Women.

According to reports received by the police
there is a dangerous character roaming around
the city. who calls into his aid in his nefrrious
work the science of hypnotism. According to
the reports this man last week visited the thinly
settled section of the northeast in the neighbor-
hood of 18th street and the boundary and
Piled his illv directed powers upon women
whom he found alone in their houses. He APP
proaches a house where he has first made sure
there are no men and feigns attack Of sud-
den cramps and pityingly appeals for immediate
relief. I he sympathizing housewife at once
brings forth such specific as may be at hand,
which the fellow drinks. and expresses himself
greatly relieved. He then produces bottle of
yarui.h. bt gins a tale of its great qualities in
Frightening up Scared or scratched furniture
and soon obtains consent TO apply 1T upon the
surface of the mirror frame other delicate
article. During all this time he engages the
lady In earnest conversation. seeking to
bring her en- rapport with him. when he
suddenly turns upon his victim. orders her. in a
commanding voice to look at mel Instintively
she obcys. and once his eye is caught the woman
is completely hypnotized, and feels u sudden
stupOr and sleepy feeling come over her as he
Sazes inteutIv and intensely into her ewes. and
a moment later she is in his power, when he
prOC, eds to command her at will, either for
purpO. o. of theft something worse.
The police have received complaints that this
man went through just this program in the
case of n lady on Tuesday of last week. and but
for the accidental interruption of childs sud-
den entrance into the room there is no GUESSING
what the result would have been. From this
lady's house he proceeded 10 a neighbor and
instituted precisely the same modus operandi.
