Dog Fanciers and Deafness.

sit is peculiar fact" said Edwin
W. Fiske of Mount Vernon, N. Y, who
is one of the best known dog fanciers,
especially in the spaniel line, in the
country, THAT almost invariably a
man who is dog fancier and follows
bench shows with any degree of regu-
larity is deaf.
1.-THE best known dog men in the
country have their hearing moro or less
affected. 1t is caused by the incessant
barking and bowling which one always
finds in a bench show. A continuous
noise of itself would not necessarily
cause deafness, as men in rolling mills
and factories have to stand noise of
much greater volume and of a more
shocking nature than you can find in a
dog show: But the barking and bowling
of dog seem to have an unexplainable
effect upon the ear drum. Of course to
affect the hearing it takes long time,
so that only men who are old in the
business are affected. You take the
principal owners of dogs exhibited here
and you will find my statement veri-
fed. '-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Good Night Good Nishtir

There is a tender sweetness about
some Of our common phrases Of affec-
tionate greeting, simple and unobtru-
sive as they are, which falls like dew
upon the heart. "Good night" the lit
tie one lisps as. gowned in white, with
shining face and hands, and prayers
said, she toddles of to bed. Sisters and
brothers exchange the wish, parents
and children, friends and friends. Fa-
miliar use has robbed it of its signifi-
canoe to some of us; we repeat it auto
matically, without much thought. But
consider. We are rs voyagers, putting
off from time to time upon an unex-
plored sea. Our barks of life set sail
and go onward into the darkness, and
we, asleep ON our pillows, take no such
care as we do when awake aud journey
ing by daylight. OF the perils of the
night. whatever they may be, we take
no heed. An unsleeping vigilance of
one stronger and wiser than we, who is
the eternal good. Good and God spring
from the same root, and are the same
in meaning. "Goodby" is only "God
be with you" GOOD night" is really
"God night" Or "God guard the
night" It would he churlish house
hold in which these gentle forms of
speech were ignored or did not exist.
Alike, the happy and the sorrowful,
day by day, may say "Good night. -

The Poor Mouse.

A lady while engaged in the pursuit
of her domestic duties encountered a
mouse in the -four barrel Now, most
ladies, under similar circumstances,
would have uttered a few genuine
shrieks and then sought safety in the
garnet, but this one possessed more than
the ordinary degree Of genuine courage.
She summoned the manservant and
told him to get the gun, call the dog
and station himself at convenient dis
lance. Then she clambered half way up
stairs and commenced to punch the
flour barrel with a pole
Presently the mouse made its appear
ance and started across the floor. The
dog at once went in pursuit. The man
fired, and the dog dropped dead, the lady
tainted and fell down the stairs, and
the man. thinking that she was killed
and fearing that he would be arrested
for murder, disappeared and has not
been seen since. The mouse escaped.

DOrc's Mcnoor.

Dore educated his memory by observ-
ing things as he walked with the inten-
ton of remembering all he could Of
them. He dissected subjects by division
and subdivision, on a system of his own,
so as to lay them by in good order, to
be found when he wanted them in their
right places. Hamerton Quoted by Jer-
roldD related that "by long practice" Of
this kind he could carry away a wonder
full quantity of facts and had even test
ed his memory in a contest with pho
tographic apparatus, a friend Of his pro-
tographing cathedral, Dore looking at
it and drawing it afterward at his home,
while his friend developed his photo
graph. On comparing the two, drawing
and photograph, it appeared, much to
the astonishment of the photographer,
that Dore had omitted no detail of i'm
portance, few minor inaccuracies be
ing alone discoverable.-Joseph Hatton

A Mighty Desert Wind.

The samiel is a hot, noxious, cleo
trical wind. which passes over the sandy
deserts of Arabia and Africa. 1t moves
with the quickness Of lightning and
passes in narrow currents for few
minutes at time. 1t deals instant
death to every man OF beast happening
to face it, and it is said that it SO de-
composes them that their limbs fall
asunder. The approach Of it is indicated
by thick haze in the horizon, and trav-
elers, if they have time. throw them
selves ON their faces, with their feet to.
ward it, till it has passed. The sirocco

Merry to the Last.

1t was the 21st of April, 1921. Dr. L
P. Frank, the eminent governor of the
University hospital, Vienna, lay ON his
deathbed and was expected every mo-
ment to pass away. Once more the eight
leading medical men of the capital
gathered round his couch. All at once
the patient burst out laughing.
"What is it that tickles your fancy:"
his friends inquired.
"A story has just come into my
mind, " was the reply. "On the battle
field of Wagram lay French soldier
and counted his wounds. 'Sacre bleu =

kill French grenadier.' Gentlemen,

Why do haddocks carry those peculiar
black finger marks near the head?
Some tell rs that they are a memento
Of the pressure of ST. Peters fingers
when he went fishing for the tribute
money. On the Yorkshire coast they say
the devil once determined to build q
bridge at Filey. His satanic majesty did
not start the bridge for the convenience
OF the people, but for the destruction
OF ships and sailors and the annoyance
OF fishermen in general. In the progress
OF his work old Nick dropped his ham,
mer into the sea- Snatching at it hastily,
he caught paddock, and all haddocks
carry the imprint of his black fingers to
this day.-London Fishing Gazette.

THE NEW SERVANT.
The Redheaded Girl Is Discouraged
Trying to Teach Her Things.


Trying to Teach Her Things.
That redheaded girl ON Baynes street
lately undertook to teach the art of do
nestle service to Polish maiden'w
had been plucked green in the wilder
ness of Shumway street. The new girl
was willing, but ignorant even of the
English language. Instruction had to
be impaired by object lessons. The first
lesson was in lighting the gas The
kitchen treasure was told by her new
mistress that she was to turn the STOP
cock and then apply match to the end
of the pipe. She seemed to comprehend.
The next day the redheaded girl was
attracted by q vile smell issuing from
the kitchen. On investigation the Pol
ish exile was found standing beside the
cold water faucet, patiently lighting
matches and holding them under the
stream of water, which she had turned
on, only to see them Immediately ex-
tinguished, leaving an odor of charred
wood behind.
In the course Of q year or two the red
headed girl hopes to be able to impress
ON the Ruthenian mind the fact that all
general principles are subject to modifi-
cation in practice, and particularly that
all iron pipes do not burst into fame
when approached by a match. -Buffalo

Tho Strength of n Hair.

An interesting article was published
In Paris paper recently regarding the
weight which hair frcm the human
head can support. ''Hairs," says the au-
thor, "have o force of resistance hard
to believe unless one has convinced him
self by experiments. Bichat does not
fear to say that nothing else, not even
excepting fibrous tissue, can support
so large weight in proportion to its
volume. Grellier, who shares this opin-
ion, has estimated that a single hair can
carry weight of l,O34 decigrams (more
than 100 grams). According to Richter,
a blond hair can bear more than six
ounces, black one still more One can
thus appreciate the great strength of the
ropes which the Carthaginians made of
their hair

PICTURES AND EYES.

How to Adjust the Latter to Properly Oh
serve the Former.
The observer. in order to sec picture
to the Lest advantage. must adjust his
vision to that Of the artist who produced
it. Most of rs do this instinctively. Not
only do we select the best point Of view
from which to observe picture, but we
recede from the painting until the lights,
and colors blend in just the right degrea
l. addition to that many instinctively
pinch. the eyes together, producing thus
Q momentary astigmatism, such as the
artist had produced in his own eye, and
lind the picture thus apparently i'm
proved.
A most useful appliance for viewing
pictures is the SO called stenopaic slit.
This is merely slit one or two MILL
meters in width in a card or thin plate
of brass. Simple as this device is but
few persons are aware Of how much it
adds to the effect in viewing paintings.
as it allows the rays Of light in only
one meridian to pass through the cornea
Of the observer. II he wishes to look ut
painting done by an artist whose
vision is normal, or nearly SO, the OBJ
server turns the slit around to correspond
with the meridian of his own best vision.
If, however, he looks at picture in
which it is desirable to have overlapping
OF the retinal images-at one where
the colors must be mixed in the eye, for
example-it is necessary to rotate the
slit to another position, usually at right
angles to the first, and with this can

blotches of coior low becomes blended
into a much more perfect whole.
would recommend this simple de-
vice to any one who has not already ex-
perimented with it. Thus, by adjusting
CUR own personal equation of eyesight
to that of the artist, we literally obtain
his point Of view. The colors are height
ened. the daubs blend and new beauties
appear. Instead of seeking, like our
friend mentioned ut first, for "the
handiest way to get out of this ERE
place." we are glad to stay longer to
study and to enjoy. Here, as every
where, it is art and science together
that yield the richest result. If science
is allowed to be the interpreter, we may
gain heightened enjoyment of art and

Archbishop villette says he Villette) will
not be present at the convention to preside

ton the movement in any way. The rea-
sons assigned for his action are that by
their refusal to acknowledge the doctrines
OF the American Old Catholic Church as
right and by clinging to doctrines OF the
Roman Catholic Church, they stamp them
selves as being Roman Catholics still, but
Roman Catholics in rebellion against their
church, and as such he will have nothing
to do with them. In a letter to members Of
the Church OF the Blessed Virgin Mary, the
Archbishop says: ut Is your plain duty to
adopt one Of two courses; either you should
accept the principles OF our Catholic reform
without any dogmatic or disciplinary ex-
ception to its teachings or else you should
return humbly and submissively to the
church whose doctrines are so dear to you
and acknowledge their authority. Only on
those conditions will you hold respect of
