Suffering and stammering.

stuttering and stammering are terms that
are COMPOUNDED. They are not synonymous by
any means. Stammering is an inability to
properly enunciate certain elementary speech
words; suffering is vicious utterancc, mani
tested by frequent repetitions of an initial OF
other elementary sound. Both are caused by
improperly acting muscles of the vocal chords,
soft palate tongue, cheeks, lips, etc.
Some of these muscles are under easy control
of the will. Over the muscles of the pharynx,
the soft palate, and at the base of the tongue,
which move its root upward and downward,
our power is not 80 complete, and this causes
the affection.

Condition of Yosemite Park.

COnUlCIOn Oh IOSenhIt6 fHrR.
Capt. A. E. Wood, Acting Superintendent of
Yosemite National Park, has made his annual
report to the Secretary of the Interior for the
year ended June 30, 1892. He states that
during the last year the Park has been kept
almost entirely free from sheep, which hitherto
had proved so destructive to young vegetation.
Forest fires during the year are said to have
been very infrequent and little damage has been
caused thereby. Capt. Wood believes that 1t
is against public policy for the Government to
reassume title to the lis various mining claims
within the Park. Over 100000 have been
taken from one of the mines. Tourist travel
Is increasing every year, notwithstanding the
fatiguing stage ride of from SO to IS miles from
the nearest railroad

An old-Fashioned Tile with an Interest
Ing History.
There was nothing Of the swell about
Abraham Lincoln, says the New York
World In the matter of his personal
attire he was decidedly careless. 1t
was matter of supreme indifference
TO him whether his clothes fitted him or
not He had other things to think
about. Thus itoften happened that when
ms nat began to look tho worse for
wear he neglected to replace it with O
new one.
When on his way to Washington to
be lnaugurated Us president of the
United States he passed through New
York. Tho almost studied negligence
which characterized his apparel excited
much mirth and ridicule But the keen
est shafts of ridicule were aimed Mt his
'hat, an exceedingly seedy-looking
"stovepipc." 1t was publicly dubbed
that shocking hat" This didn't worry
Lincoln bit, but it panied some of his
sensitive friends very much. So they
arranged little scheme to secure an
exchange of tiles which would give
the president n presentable hat.
The dimensions Of Lincoln's Uranium
were secretly but accurately ascer-
tanned, and brand new hat was pro-
.vided that would exactly fit him.
Things were so fixed that when the pro-
.cession which was escorting Lincoln
passed up Broadway the carriage in
which he was seated halted just oppo-
site the store of n popular halter. Out
rushed the halter with the hat which
the committee of Lincoln's friends had
selected, and begged the precious priv
llege OF exchanging it for the one which
Lincoln wore. Without any suspicion.

with the request.

secured the shocking hat" and it.
figured conspicuously at many fairs and
exhibitions for charitable purposes.
When Mr. Gibson died, some eight wears
ngo, the hat passed to one of his sons:
who kept it under glass globe in his
factory. There it was seen recently by
f. H. kaldenberg, of this city. He
wrote to his friend C. Z. Gunther of
Chicago, who has large collection of
Lincoln relics, about it. Mr.. Gunther
opened up negotiations and purchased
lot u good round sum the hat, which is
lntrinsically not worth five cents
The hat is an ordinary old-fashioned

SPANISH PLEASURES.

It Seems to 30 Rather q Solemn and
Mournful Thing.
The leader of the orchestra began to
play on the piano q brief, monotonous
air, and the woman-loolsing out be-
tween her half-shut eyes-began the
Malaguena- It was strange, piercing.
MOORISH chant, says a writer in the Sat-
urday Review, sung in high falsetto
voice, in long, acute, trembling phrases
"a wall rather than a sonc-with
pauses, as if to gain breath, between,
few words seemed to be repeated over
ana over again, with tremulous, mar
tlculate cries that wayered in time to a.
regularly beating rhythm. The sound
was like nothing have ever heard. It
pierced the brain, it tortured one with
sort OF delicious spasm.
The next song had more of a regular
melody, though still in this extraordi-
nary, Strained voice, and still with some
thing of a. lament in it's monotony. 7
could not understand the words. but the.
woman's gestures left no doubt ms to
the character of the song. It was as
sertively indecent, but with that curi-
Gus kind of indecency-nn almost reli-
glous solemnity in performer and audi
icnce-which the Spaniards share with
the eastern races. Another song fol-
lowed, given with the same serious and
collected indecency, and received with
the same serious and collected atten-
tlon 1t had n refrain of "Allcluia,"
and the woman, know not why, Dor
rowed a mans soft felt hat, turned
down the brim, and put it on before be-
ginning the song. When the applause
was over she returned the hat, came
back to the table at which she had been
sitting, dismally enough, and yawned
more desperately than ever.
