Don't speak so loud, ;" said a pretty
young woman to Washington Star

''FrOm shock or concusSion?"
Not at all 1 was troubled with
a catarrhal affection, consequence Of
which was the formation OF abcesses
that destroyed the drums OF my eaSs
But l did not know that a person
could hear without ear drums"
''On the contrary l can hear con
siderably better than other people be-
cause 1 hear with the exposed audi
tory nerve instead of through the
medium of the drum. For instance,
il often occurs that will hear band
of music coming up the street several
minutes before anybody else does"
And you can hear voices bette.
also?"
Decidedly. Il you were to stand
over at the other end of this room
ana whisper articulately 1 could hear
what YOU said without any difficulty.
1t is not an advantage, but rather dis
tressing on occasions. When num-
Der Of people are talking together in
my presence l cannot help hearing
what every one OF them says, whereas
you would be able to contine your at
tentiOn to the remarks on one indi-
vidual. When a person speaks at all
loudly il hurts me. As rule, | avoid
riding on horse cars because the rum
bic makes the tears run down my
cheeks. In one respect think my
misfortune is an advantage, for / be-
lieve that l enjoy music more than
others do"
so the loss of the ear drums &C
su,aly renders the sense OF hearing
more acute?"
Undoubtedly it does, so long as
the other parts are uninjured, but
their destruction exposes the delicate
mechanism of the ear, which 1t is
their chief purpose to protect. Ac-
cordingly my auditory apparatus is
constantly in danger of trouble, which
might at any time render me totally
deaf. Besides, any internal ulcera.
tlon in the passages would be very
apu to pierce the delicate wall OF bone
which separates them frOn the brain,
and that would cause death. That is
how Roscoe Conklin died. though very
few people know it, the cold that

caught in the great BLIZZARD"

Outside Window Blinds.

Among the household inconyenien-
ees left over to this generation out
SIDE window blinds are among the
chief and worst Their principal OBJ
iects seem to be to get out of order,
hang on one hinge, collect dirt, slam
violently and noiSily and contribute
in every possible way to the dilapi-
dated appearance of a dwelling. To
shut or open them one must risk dis
location of the neck, and if they are
9n a dressing room window they are
apt to blow open at critical moments
in the process of the toilet. Still they
exist and the aim Of every woman who
has them should be to render them as
Inobjectionable as possible.
In the first place, all their Stats
must be carefully attended to and
never let drop or fy loosely. Once
every week they must be thoroughly
brushed. otherwise the accumulation
Of dust upon them combines with oc-
casiOnal showers to flow in rivulets OF
mud down the front of the dwelling.
AT least once year they should be
taken of their hinges and washed.
The wise woman will take them off
one at time or else mark in some un-
mistakable way which blind belongs
| to which side of the window, other
wise great will be the confusion and,
if they are hung by man, the pro-
faulty attending their adjustment
The proper materials for washing
one OF these cumbersome objects are
a tub, warm, soapy water and whisk
broom. After the dust and accumu-
Lations of the season have been washed
| off rinse the blinds in water in which
/ ammonia has been diluted in the pro-
portion OF a tablespoonful to gallon.
They shoald be allowed to get thor
oughly dry before being rehung in the
sun, otherwise they are liable to crack.
| Then when they are restored to their
windows, as fresh and clean as green
trees after a shower, one is inclined
TO overlook their Objectionable quail
ties and take unqualified enjoyment
in teeir neat appearance.

Famous Hunters.

9n Signor Gessi's Seven Years 10
the Soudan, the author describes ''the
brothers Duma," two hunters, ''Te-
nOwpeG from Kanka to the Victoria
NYauza." They were in the habit of
killing the buffalo, the rhinOcerOs,
and the leGQard-the lercest animals
of the country-with no emotion than
a European would experience in shoot
ing rabbits. They were often sent
for from different parts to kill some
lion which was doing great mischief.
! OF their elephant hanting the author
says:
Ia all the villages the brothers
found an enthusiastic welcome: the
people knowing that wherever they
were meat was never wanting. Both
men were strong-limbed and of uD-
common agility.
When an elephant rushed upon
| them they calmly awaited him, and
at the right moment leaped to one
side. The elephant, not being able
to STOP turned toward one of the two
| brothers, and the other plunged a
lance into his side, The animal then
| quilted the first man and fell upon
the one who had wounded him, and
at that instant the other cut the
tendons of the hind legs, bringing the
elephant at once to the ground.
One day, however, one Of the
brothers was near falling victim to
=, his boldness. He attacked an ele-
phant alone in the usual way, but
| stumbled and fell. He rose directly,
but the elephant had already seized
him in his trunk, and hurled him to
a distance Of fifteen feet. Fortu'
nately he fell in the middle of thick
bush, and escaped with some scratches
| and bruises
His friends laughed at the accident,
| and the next day he said:
Il would rather eat nv wife several
times than not take my revenge"
He set out again, refusing the COM
pany of his brother. Late in the
evening he returned and called the
village together
Come, he said, ''help me bring
in the tusks, and take as much meat
for yourselves as you like"
All the population followed him
He had killed nine huge elephants.

All substances are made up of tiny
PARTICLES which cannot be further re-
duced in size without change of prop
critics and breaking up into their COM
pouent atoms These particles or
groups of atoms are molecules, and all
matter is trembling with their bill

solids, the molecules are arranged in
i oer6ain fixed order, and their vibra-

they move about in all directions, yet
none can voluntarily separate them
selves from the others, while in gases
they are in a state of vibration so vio-
lent that they fly about with marvel

A Wise Precautio1.

A Southern druggist has invented
Contrivance to prevent seri-
Gus mistakes in filing prescrip-
tious. His invention is a bottle,
Just like Others, except in one
particular. 1t has a glass stopper
covered with innumerable sharp
points that sensibly prick the hand if
one Is not careful in removing it from
the bottle All poisonous and dan
gerous drugs are kept in bottles like
this. The peculiar contrivance will
make the druggist careful, no matter
how great his hurry, and if he is made
to be cautious in handling bottles he
will make no mistake in filling pre-
scriptions.

Oddities of a British Postofioe,

The severer duties OF the poStoffice
are lightened from time to time by
sundry 'curious Incidents" OF which
a few are recorded in the annual re-
port. In the present instance we are
told of letter found at DumbartOn
addressed to 'The manager of the
public house with Walk er's sign" at
Wolverhambton. Some odd particu-
lars were added. which probably fur
nished the requisite clew, the result
being that the miSSive reached the
person for whom it was intended.
In another case a postal card was
inclosed to provincial postmaster TO
be delivered to the writer's nephew. 5"
by the possession of cork leg and "a
bright projecting set Of teeth" The
description suticed, though the
nephew" had to be found among a
population Of more than seventy
thousand. The usual eccentricIties'
have also presented themselves
Among these was parcel contain
above five hundred leeches from
abroad Other consignments included
live snakes, frogs, tame rats and live
locust from the cape. A cardboard
box containing a kitten with a feed
ing bottle was sent by parcel post and
was duly shot from the mailbag ap-
paratus near Peurith into the express
train.
The kitten suffered from the shock
but recovered in a couple Of days.
More prOsaic but no less interesting
was the discovery OF two flOO Bank
OF England notes in a letter having
no address and affordiDg no clew to
the individual whs posted it. AS
might be expected, the sender proved
TO be lady and in her gratitude for
the safe return OF her property she
presented s20 as a contribution to
the Rowland Hill benevolent fund
london Exchange.

On the first of June an exposition was
opened at Quito. the capital Of the re-
public of Ecuador, for the purpose of
showing articles collected for the Chi
cago fair and also to give an opportunity
10 foreign manufacturers and merchants
To display their wares. The first sug-
gestion of this came from Mr.. Tisdel,
the special commissioner of the Column
bian exposition, and it was hoped that
the industries of the United States
would be well represented. The Latin
American department is now informed
that it is a matter Of considerable sur
prise and comment on the west coast
that not one American house is repre-.
scented at the Quito fair, while Germany
and England have sent many small
wares and some portable agricultural
machinery. This fair was duly adver-
tised and the statement made that
American manufactures would be adj
united free Of duty and transported to
Quito from the seaport of Guayaquil at
the expense Of the government. Kero-
sene and shelf hardware constitute the
principal productions of the United
States on sale, with now and then a
cargo Of California -four. The lack of
response to the cordial invitation given
to the merchants and manufacturers of
the United States by the Ecnadorian
government is a great disappointment.

The Democratic Candidate for GovernOr
Of Arkansas.
Hon. William Meade Fishback. whom
the Democrats of Arkansas have named
for next governor of that state. is a liv.
ing illustration of the sudden and ire
mendous changes in southern politics
He was born Nov. 5, 1881, in C%ulpepper
county, Va, his mothers people being
English and his fathers German. He
was educated at the University of Vir-
ginia, read law in Richmond and 10.
Gated in Arkansas in 1858.
His advent there was at the beginning
of that fierce struggle which ended in
civil war, and he was an uncompromis
ing Union mar from the first. AS such
