INSOMNIA.

Thin are the night skirts left behind
BY daybreak hours that onward creep,
And thin, alas! tho shred of sleep
That waivers with the spirits wind;
But In half dreams that shift and roll
And stin remember and forget,
Ny soul this hour has drawn your soul
A little nearer yet.
Our lives. most dear, are never near.
Our thoughts are never far apart,
Though all that draws US heart to heart
Seems fainter now, and now more clear.
Tonight love claims his full control,
And with desire and with regret
MY soul this hour has drawn your soul
A little nearer yet
In there home where heavy earth
Melts TO bright air that breathes no pain,
Where water leaves no thirst again.
And springing fire is loves new birth2
IL faith long bound to one true goal
May there at length its hope beget,
My soul that hour shall draw your soul
Forever near yet.

IT MAKES THE DEAF HEAR.
SUCCESS OF A NOVEL INSTRUMENT
The Mysterious Restoration From Deafness
By an unseen Devlce-0ld Theories
Successfully Applied

During the past few years there have
been many rumors of the restoration, In
some mysterious way, of the hearing OF
those who were known to have been deaf
for many years. This led to al inyestiga-
tion by those interested, and it has been
found that this happy change has been
made by The use OF most simple, yet in
geniOus device, which was invented by
gentleman in Bridgeport, Conn, named
IL. S. Wales. This device is the same to
the ears as are glasses to the eyes, and Is
simply a soft rubber disc, arranged on
rubber spring, aud so shaped that when
inserted in the ear it will focus the waves
of sound on the natural drum, thus in
creaslag the vibrations OF the latter
The possibilities of a device of this
nature have long been known, but the
many attempts TO use this knowledge
have been such utter failures that it was
considered beyond our present knowledge
of the ear TO make a practical Instrument
Of the kind. Consequently when this de-
vice WAS first invented, not much atten-
tion was given the same, 1t was thought
to be merely an old enemy IN new dress;
but gradually this slight prejudice was
dispelled, until, at the present time, most
physicians and aurists look kindly upon
the instrument, and seemed pleased at the
success IL is meeting.
At IA recent interview. Mr.. Wales made
Tue TeIidE statement U0dC, 20 MS
knowledge, the device which he calls
Sound Disc, had never failed where relief
was afterward obtained by any medical,
surgical or mechanical means, excepting
Il powerful ear trumpet, which he says is
more powerful than his device. 1t would
seem TO be an ideal device for the deaf, as
it Is worn in the ear, out of sight, for
months at a time, and far we can
learn, is pronounced safe and comfortable
for the patient. Many times it has proven
itself to be an advancement in the science
OF acoustics By relieving tie most obsti-
nate cases which had defed medical treat
ment for years.
What may be the ultimate result of the
use OF this device-whether the results
thus far obtained will warrant its use in
such a variety OF cases that it will stop the
progress of deafness in the future to such
AN extent that it will avoid the use of ear
trumpet5 We cannot say: but the desirable
ity OF device OF this nature, as regards
its safety. its benefit, and general comfort
30 the user, none will fail to admit.
