two OF. three of the children came hang
ing around her The Youngest, boy Of
three was trying 70 climb up on! her lap
when She reached out for d book on the
stand and used il to give him reso1nd-
ing box on the ear. He ran away howl
ing, and as she began telling how trou-
blesome children were replied:
Haven't You ever heard, ma'am, that
boxing chi1d's ears may cause deaf
ness?'
La! nor she replied. Does any one
really say so?"
tAn surgeons say SO. and there is no
doubt of II"
~ is it possible! Excuse me minute. /"
She went to the back door and called
"Henry-oh Henry TO her husband
and when he came IN She said:
"rve found out all about it from the
stranger"
s'What?'

our seven young 'uns are gittin deaf as

rhe Ethics or Story 3 Telling.


1t seems to us that in good fi,:tion evil
must appear as foil for goo,l; that it
must be set over against righteousness
SO as to make black black indeed and
white purely white. The story teller
need have no express moral hobby to
ride post haste; his tale will he all the
better if told with the pure love of story
telling: but we may be quite sure that
his taste is unsound if he chooses a
salacious story to tell and gives it the
JUNCTION of personal rehearsal. Here, in
deed, is where we would draw the line
Evil can be used by the artist with clean
hands and to wholesome effect by con-
trasting it with healthy. solid protec-
tion of good.
The chief trouble with current realism
is that it does not do this, but chooses to
set hopeless evil and nerveless common
place side by side without any trium-
phant moral heroism to dominate or neu-
tralize it. The ethics of fiction shine in
the character, the moral nature of the
story, more than in the ostensible or
even the actual moral purpose of the
author. 1t is the general effect that the
work is likely to produce when read by
the aggregate of readers, which must be
large element of the test.-Chautau-

A Great Country for DueI,.


How prevalent dueling was at one
time in Ireland may be gathered from
the fact that men of the highest dignity
and most responsible position were ready
to eat fire and taste steel. The lord
chancellor, Lord Clare. fought the mas
ter of the rolls, Curran. The chief JUS
tice. Lord Clonrnel, fought Lori. Tyraw-
ley and two others. The chancellor of
the exchequer, Isaac Cory, fought
Henry Grattan. The provost of Trinity
college, Mr.. Henry Hutchinson, fought
the master IN chancery, Mr.. Doyle
O'Connell fought and killed Mr.. DIES
terre, the champion of the Dublin cor
poration, and, as Darlington says, the
duel was fatal to the champion of Prot
estart ascendancy." These are not the
only eminent Irishmen who fought
duels, for Sir Jonah Barringt on states
that during his grand clinacteric," 227
memorable duels had been fought. He
tells us of one man who had fought no
less than sixteen duels, and Mr.. S. G.
Hall describes field near Castlebar.
where it was stated that sixty fatal
duels had taken place-the last being
that of an uncle who had shot his
nephew or nephew who had shot his
uncle.-Leeds Mercury.

The Oregon Pioneer society whose an
nual meeting will be held in June, is
taking steps to have its anniversary on
the centennial of the discovery of the
Columbia river. Should the movement
succeed it is expected that the United
States government will consent to send
to astoria two or three war ships to give
added interest to the occasion in the
way of firing appropriate salutes. We
understand the matter is in the hands
of committe of the Pioneer society
which is expected to report at an early
day. We hope the report may be favor
able tothe carrying out of the programme
suggested. 1t would be most fitting
that the two events should become one
and their joint celebration would attract
crowd of visitors that would undoubt-
edly make the day grand success.

New wonders in Electric lighting.


By means of currents alternating with
very high frequency Professor Nikola
Tesla has succeeded in passing by induc-
tlon through the glass of lamp energy
sufficient to keep flament in a state of
incandescence with the use Of connect
ing wires. He has even lighted room
by producing it in such condition that
an illuminating appliance may be placed
anywhere and lighted without being
electrically connected with anything.
He has produced the required condi-
ton by creating in the room a powerful
electrostatic field alternating very rapid
~. He suspends two sheets of metal,
each connected with one Of the terminals
of the coil. If an exhausted tube is car
ried anywhere between these sheets or
placed anywhere it remains always lu-
minous,.
The extent to which this method of
illumination may be practically avail
able experiments alone can decide. In
any case our insight into the possibih-
ties of static electricity has been extend
ed. and the ordinary electric machine
will cease to be regarded as mere toy.

Science Monthly. 80

STRIKING TESTIMONY.

The Anerican Wool Reporter, published
in Boston, New York and Philadelphia, is
the chief organ of the wooden manufac-
turers of the United States. 1t earnestly
opposed the Mckinley bill, and still
criticises some features of it; yet it says
I'm less than two years remarkable
change has been wrought; and it may
be noted right here, and we affirm it
with considerable emphasis, that the
change is a direct result of the schedule,
which is a bar 10 the Importation of
many goods formerly imported. And it
may not be amiss to say that this change
has occurred without any appreciable,
If any change in prices to the consumer. ="
The same publication says further:
''The year just ended was a wool dress
goods year; it witnessed the largest pro-
duction of fancy goods this country has
ever reached. Not only this, but it
marked the beginning of a new era in
the industry, an era which is likely to
be notable one. Probably never before
in the history of the industry has the
prospect for the future been as bright
and promising as at the present time.
After years of struggles against adverse
influences, the domestic manufacturer
sees future before him that offers every
encouragement; with firm foothold
gained, and both feet planted, there
seems to be little in the way of steady
march forward. The foreign competitor
has been shut out, SO far as pertains to
the great bulk OF goods that go to the
masses, and the field is his own. 1t is a
glorious present and promises to be a
more glorious FUTURE

A Curious Custom.

There is a curious custom in Massa-
chusetts which dates back to the time
when Nathaniel P. Banks was governor
OF that state, whereby each succeeding
governor has been called upon on the
Recommendation of the executive coun.
Gil to pardon on Thanksgiving day two
prisoners undergoing Imprisonment n,
life. Mr.. Banks his conmission u
general originating with our civil WAR
was governor of Massachusetts, in 1857,
and since that time, thirty-four years
ago, at each recurring Thanksgiving
day, two prisoners for life,, making
sixty EIGHT in all. have been pardoned.-
