Electricity for Deaf Mutes.

One of the recent medical applications
of electricity is in the treatment of deaf
ness. The apparatus for this purpose
comprises a battery, belt, an electrode
supporter on the belt and shaped to rest
on the ear, and connections between the
electrode and the battery. This pro-
vides a convenient and efficient mode of
receiving the current, which can be ap-
piled in finely graduated strength.
Superintendent johnson, of the Deaf
and Dumb institute at Indianapolis, IS
reported as having found in a series of
experiments that the photograph con-
centrates the sound at the drum of the
ear in such way that many Of the pu-
pills, otherwise deaf, are thus enabled to
hear. Out of fifty-six boys and girls,
only three girls were unable to hear any
thing at all, while forty could hear
music and twenty-six could distinguish
spoken words.-New York Telegram.

The New Year.

Christmas has gone and the new year
has been entered upon. We have cele-
brated in genuine Christmas weather
the season of good cheer and good
will, and the world has once more paid
its homage to the birth of that being,
God or man, whose life and death all
admit has with resistless power inn
PEELED the nations on to a grand and
still grander civilization.
The superstitions and barbarities OF
the past are fast disappearing, and even
the lives and characters of those who
deny to Christ the attributes of Godhead
speak most forcibly of the honesty of
his claims and the purity of his life.
The world is still full of crime,
wickedness, ignorance, poverty, sorrow
and pain, but never before have the
poor, the blind, the sick, the halt, the
ignorant, and even the vicious, been
surrounded with so much of good cheer
and christian brotherhood and the
practical fruits of the practice of the
golden rule as during the year that is
now of the past.
Pessimists may, and undoubtedly will,
keep up prognosticating all sorts OF
evil, while the logic of events prove un-
mistakably that the world is steadily, il
slowly, growing better.
In our own land the pendulum of
progress and the march of civilization
are keeping time, unevenly sometimes,
yet constantly towards the realization
of the destiny which has been made
possible through the influence of the
life of Christ.
We cannot look out upon or prophesy
the events OF 1893, but, cheered by the
attianments of the past and buoyed up
with the promises of the future, we can
bravely enter upon the unknown which
lies before us, and, each performing
the allotted task and daily round to
the best of our ability, do our part as
patriotic citizens to serve our country
and as christian people to hasten the
dawn of an ideal future.
To each and all The NoRTHERNER
extends its wishes for a happy and
prosperous new year.

No Free Passes, Gentlemen.

The Kalamazoo Telegraph lately
mailed to several of the representatives
and senatorselect the following ques-
tons, to which a reply was requested:
First-What legislation is, in your
opinion, most needed?
Second-Do you think the coming
legslaturewill introduce the custom of
shorter session?
The replies received indicated very
varied conception of the legislation we
most need, but practically unanimous
sentiment for short session, accompa-
MED, however, with doubts whether
such desirble result could be brought
about.
If the platform of the Republican
party upon which each of the gentlemen
when seeking the election stood, and to
which they pledged their loyalty, was
intended to express a genuine party
policy and was not tissue of misrepre-
sentation and false pretenses, there
need be no doubt at all about the
matter.
If at the opening of the legislature
its members shall declare against free
passes and free railway transportation,
actually decline such favors and pro-
coed diligently with their work and not
leave undone for the closing days what
ought TO have been done at the start,
the desired end will surely be attained.
In the past there has been a weekly
exodus of the members from the cap
itol which has deprived the sessions of
a quorum, or at least of the ability
to properly proceed with the business
in hand for three, and sometimes four,
days at stretch.
1t has been the unnecessary weekly
pilgrimages home, to Detroit and other
points, at the expense of the railroad
companies that has in greatest meas
ure occasioned the prolonged sessions
of which the state has had enough.
The legislator who has had his ear
to the ground, and listened for the voice
of the people, must he aware of the
practically unanimous demand which
exists for the suppression of free passes
and free transportation, and he will be
wise who, hearing, heeds.

The cost of building, equipping and
maintaining an insane asylum is very
large and the tax upon the people for
the care of the insane, when coupled
with the amount which must be levied to
supply the wants of our other charitable
institutions. is becoming burdensome
Every opportunity should be offorded
by the state, whatever the cost may be,
for the humane treatment of its insane,
but an injustice is done, not only to the
insane but to all concerned, by the stu
alton to which we have directed atten-
ton.
If an intelligent and candid investi-
CATION should be made in the cases of
those who are now being supported at
the insane asylums of this state as indi
gent persons, at the expense of the
counties to which they respectively
belong, or at the cost of the state, we
are confident that it would be found in
many of them that either the estate of
such person or their near kindred could
without any hardship pay "a consider
able percentage of what is now paid by
the counties and state, and that the
aggregate sum of what should be so
contributed would not only very ma
terially relieve the tax payers but make
it very much easier to- obtain appropri-
ations large enough to cover the reason
able wants of our asylums and to supply
any new institution that the eXigencies
of the situation may demand.
The trustees of the asylums may be
relied upon, we have no doubt, to lend
their influence and aid in procuring
such legislation as may be needed, and
an opportunity is afforded to our repre-
sentative to examine into this matter
and do something in behalf of his con-
stituents which will not only be of value
to them but to the state at large.

Many people In Chicago ARE familiar
with the sight of red headed girl who
sometimes rides spirited white horse
through the principal streets of the city,
and sometimes drives team of whites
attached to chariot The writer hailed
her and brought her to and asked her
Of her mission. She asked if public
opinion was to the effect that she was
making fool of herself. The answer
to her query has no connection with the
story:
II am making an honest living" she
said. II am not more conspicuous in
my manner of doing that than are some
others of my own sex in what they do
know, and SO do you, that if put on a
subdued garb and went from house to
house with the articles have to sell l
would not make enough to earn a
cracker | must do something that has
to make people talk. When one sue
ceeds in doing that an entering wedge
has been found. 1t is hard world to
please. If l pursued some beaten path
and failed the world would turn me

ity | would be burden to society.

And with that she clucked to her gray
steed, which cantered away, carrying on
its back philosophy as well as red hair.

Genuine BAY Rum.

Genuine bay rum is always imported.
There are few barber shops where the
genuine article is used. Genuine bay
rum is manufactured only in the West
Indies. 1t is the distillation of the green
leaves and berries of the bayberry tree.
mixed with absolutely pure rum, St.
Croix being used in the very best quality
of the preparation.
There is but one true bayberry, but
there are many varieties of it in the
West Indies, and so closely do they re-
semble the Primemia oeris, or true bay,
that great care is necessary in gathering
the leaves, for the presence of a small
quantity Of the leaves Of any other vari-
ETY. is sufficient to destroy the entire
product of still. Ripe berries are
mixed in the still with the leaves. The
best bay is distilled by steam in copper
pipes, but the ordinary commercial
spirit, such as bay rum is made from
here, is distilled over an open fire.
The genuine steam distilled bay spirit
is not only many times stronger than
the other, but the refreshing odor that
characterizes it is ten times as lasting.
The West Indians find the true bay rum
so necessary to their comfort among the
numerous discomforts attending a life
in the climate of their country that they
use about all that is made, and hence
its scarcity in this and other countries.

Snakes Used by Charmers

Cobras are selected by the so called
snake charmers of both Egypt and India
for their performances. The Egyptian
charmers sometimes pretend to change
the serpent into rod, and according to
Godfrey st. Bilaire, this appearance
can be induced by giving a strong
squeeze to the animals neck, which in
duces convulsive rigidity from which
the animal soon RECEIVERS. 1t need
hardly be said that the snake charmers
always carefully extract the fangs of
the snakes they use.-Quarterly Review.
