his money out with him. To cut a Straw Hat

HIS HEARING WAS RESTORED.
But After Being Cured He Couldn't Even

But After Being Cured He Couldn't Even
 Bear the Ticking OF Watch.
 A well-known physician recently told the following story to an Indianapolis Sentinel reporter:
 "A prominent Marion county farmer discovered that he was gradually get ting deaf He couldn't hear the hired man blast stumps with giant powder. He came to my office and made signs that he wanted his ears examined l examined them, and in an instant, al- most, found that his defective hearing was caused by the gathering of waXy substance in the ears. When l re- moved that obstruction of the hearing I was surprised at the result. The old gentleman jumped from the chair where he had been seated and put both hands to his ears. He couldn't stand the noise from the street and the least most pleased men 1 ever saw. He went away and it was several weeks before saw him again. He called at the office with his wife and she did all the talk ing. She hardly raised her voice above a whisper and every now and then she looked at her husband in a tinid way. She said that for several days he would not allow the least bit of noise in the house, and th2t he butchored some pies before their time because of being affected by their squeal His daughter and her husband had lived with them for two years and they he'd to leave on account of the crying of their six months-old baby There were two clocks in the house, one in the dining room and one in the bedroom. These he stopped on account of the ticking The clock in the bedroom was an alarm clock. 1t went off one night. He jumped from bed and nearly broke his neck by falling head first on the floor. The woman said that she had to keep the house as quiet as q country grave yard for moro than two weeks, for it was that long before her husband be- came accustomed to hearing. His daughter, however, has gone back to the farm with her baby, and the clocks have been started again."

CUNNING O. cRocoDllEs.
They Escape the Net Spread for Them by
 BurroWing in the Mud.


 The following is fair sample of how eunningly crocodilcs. in common with all other wild animals. can conceal themselves in moments of danger, says the Westminster Gazette. After a happy week spent in the jungle with friend of mine we halted for break fast, before making tho last stage for headquarters and home, ct q place called Pconarhyn-Anglicc, garden of dowe-s-and while at breakfas> were amused by watching a number of croc- odiles, about eight CT ten. sunning themselves on the surface Of . small lake, or tank. as it is there called, of about an acre in extent. A sudden thought struck me.
 ''I say, Murray, what fun it would be to try and catch some of these beggars in 2 net" Bravo said he. Let's try it presently. Appu, send the horse keeper to the village and tell him to bring up all the men he can find and some long fishing nets. We will give good santosum'' (present).
 The villagers scented some fun, and 
 sum very soon turned up to the num- Der of thirty. Ii was now eleven o'clock and scorching hot, the air quivering over the bare, sandy plain in which the pond was situated. It was breast deep, as we knew, including about one foot or eighteen inches of heavy mud. We tied two nets together so as to make one long enough to reach across the tank, about thirty yards. and this was heavily weighted along the bot tom and arranged to be drawn with long ropes from each shore.
 Immediately behind the net came a line, and men about yard apart, with long, pointed poles with which to prod the mud along the bottom of the net, md so drive the malingering gentle men into proper position in front of the net. My friend and his servant (for all entered into the sport) fol lowed close up to the second line.
 At it we all now went, splashing, shouting, stamping and hauling, but q big but-not 8 sign did we find of a single one of the brutcs that we had seen before us when we came to the edge of tine water. We dragged that water backward and forward more than once, but our only reward was a deadly thirst that lasted us till late that night
 They had burrowed deeper into the mud than we could reach them, for nothing-I doubt if even rat-could have escaped unseen out of the water.

Too Good @ Joke.

Lord Bowen, an English judge, was once tempted to sum up ironically. It was the case of a burglar who had been caught, having entered from the roof and taken the precaution to leave his boots on top. His defense was that he was in the habit of taking midnight strolls on the roofs of houses, and that he was tempted by curiosity to have a look at one of the interiors Lord Bowen said, sarcastically: If, gentle men of the. jury, you think it probable that the prisoner considered the roofs of the houses salubrious place for an evening walk; if you suppose that the temptation to inspect the interior of the houses beneath him was the out come of natural and pardonable curi- osity, in that case, of course, you will acquit him, and regard him as thoughtful and considerate man, who would naturally remove his boots be- fore entering the house, and take every precaution not to disturb his neighbors." To the judges amazement, the jury took him at his word and ac- quilted the prisoner Lord Bowen never attempted to joke with q jury again.

A DECEPTIVE TARGET.
It Costs Something to Learn to Hit the
 Dangling Ball.

1t Costs Something to Learn to Hit the
 Dangling Ball.
 4 shooting gallery peculiarity that has recently came into popularity con- sists iii very light and fragile ball of blown Class, or in some cases a hollow egg h1Il suspended from a string.
 This always attracts the inexperi- enccd mGrksmen, because the natural de3tructivcness inherent in human na- ture causes him to prefer to shoot at somcthing which he can smash rather than ct 9 target that gets no harm from his accuracy.
 Therefore. says the New York Sun, be wastes his three shots, at one and tyYo-tEirds cents Q shot, not on targets, but cn the suspended mark. And he never hits it.
 The experienced man in rife range gunncry wastes no time on the de- ccitful ball. He knows that it can't be hit. Probably he knows it from eX- pericnce. for it is one of those facts that TO man will believe until he has tried it for himself.
 The reason for it is that very light hollow glass ball, or blown egg if properly hung on a slender thread, will dodge any bullet that ever came from a gun barrel. The air that the bullet piles up in front of it blows the light mark out Of the projectile's path until it has passed, after which the target swings back to its original po- sition.
 This is very provoking for the marks man. who, if he be a good shot, has the doubtful satisfaction of seeing his target execute three quick dodges at the aforementioned price of one and two-thirds cents per dodge
 There is nothing, however, so re- rumerativc to the proprietor as these pendent marks, for the gunners, pro- yolled at their lack of success, will keep on and On and on trying to hit mark compared to which pin head would be a barn door shot, and they only give it up in disgust when the cost be- gins to tell upon them or when some wiser friend explains their lack of suc- cess.
 Two dollars is cheap price to pay fer the knowledge that one of these hanging targets is a better mark for baseball than for bullet.

RAIN iN JAPAN.
How the Natives Try to Bring the Show
 Down

 During tic summer season in Japan droCGiits ere very frequent, and the rice ficlas. before go beautiful, pre- scnting 9; t4or Gs 21 tho different shades ci;;---' :.., ole gradually lose tha;r br.Ii-..-'c / of color, t-!ra vel low aal fa~cl:;. @-.I threaten the total dca;.sctica of the crop. Not only does the g.o1 @uIFcr, but the wells dry up and neces5itale the carrying of water from long distances. So a drought ia Japan is, indeed, great calamity.
 After waiting and hoping in vain for downfall of rain, tae people turn en mcsse to evoke the power of their dei- ties to send them the caving showers A procession i5 formed of perhaps two hundred men, all nearly naked, who, carrying straw eInblcmS representing tho gun with the rain pouring from it, md with long streamer3 having prayers written on them flying in the wind, proceed to the nearest river or bay, where the whole company wade into the water until they are waist deep, and. surrounding the emblens, pray aloud end throw water ou the images with both hands.
 After doing this several times, says the New York Journal, the procession is reformed, when it proceeds to the temple to pray again. This ceremony is repeated several times, and should the rain come in abundance prayers are offered in thanksgiving; should it be only shower they blame thcm- selves for not having prayed fervently enough, and continue their devotions until a downPour takes place.
 Another form of devotion for the same purpose takes place ct nightfall, when long boat is filled with men md padded swiftly across the harbor, accompanying the prayers by the reg ulnr beatings of to;n-toms and gongs. Sometimes at night, away down the bay, may bc heard the weird sound of the ton-ton2s and the voices of the men gradually growing louder and louder as the boat approaches. each man bending to his paddle in regular time as it passes Us swiftly and gradu- ally disappears in the darkness, and is soon lost to sight and hearing.

Reduced to the Ranks.

Different ideas exist in England from those prevalent in Germany with regard to the attitude to be adopted by soldiers toward escaping prisoners. Whereas Emperor William some time ago aroused much unpleasant com ment by promoting a corporal who had shot at and killed in a crowded street an escaping prisoner, at Wool rich a sergeant and a corporal have just been reduced to the ranks and sentenced to months imprisonment for having discharged their carbines, without injury to anybody, in a public thoroughfare at a deserter who had broken away from them.
