Deafness.

It has been stated that three persons out of every five i'll this country who have attained the age of 40 years are more or less deaf Ill one 0, both ears. A large proportion of this deafness is caused by catarrh, and medical treat ment for difficulty of hearing is usually directed to the catarrhal source. h Eu. rope much of tho deafness is hereditary. Dr. James Kerr Love of Glasgow re- gently read paper on deafness before the D.oyal society of Edinburgh, from which tt appears that congenital deaf ness may be either hereditary i'll the di- rect line CT in collateral branches, and that it depends on not one, but many anatomical defects. Intermarriage of deaf persons perpesSlates but does not accentuate the tendency of deafness. The bearing brothers and sisters of deaf mutes are IS likely to have deaf mute offspring as if they had been deaf mutes themselves. Consanguinity of parents emphasizes family defects, and in this Tay many cases of congenital deafness occur. One of the most singular points of Dr. Loye's paper was the assertion that the state had the right to control the marriage of persons belonging to families badly tamted with deafness.

Women Read Advertisements.

It is claimed, says the Philadelphia Press, that the women are the only read CTS of advertisements. In measure this is true, and necessarily so, for woneu are the larger purchasers for the house. hold and spend most of the money that is earned by business, professional and working men.
 Even in the larger transactions it will probably surprise dealers to learn how influential a voice women have. The purchase of home is almost invariably determined by the women of the house hold, and in nine cases cut of ten their information as to the situation and de- sirability of a purchase is gained from the newspapers.
 And every furniture dealer, dry goods dealer, groceryman and keeper of any sort of store knows that he must ap- peal to the women if he wishes to sell bis goods One of the largest elements in the success Of one of the greatest mer- chants in the world today is the fact that he knows how to appeal attractively through the advertisement to the won. an.

A Novel Fridge at Rouen.

This novel engineering work is called a '.pont transbordeur and is designed to fulfill all the purposes of a bridge, while it will offer no obstruction to the passage of ships with towering masts. On each side of the river will be erected a small Eiffel tower. about ITO feet in height, and these towers will be joined at the top by latticework bridge upon which lines of rails will be laid. On these rails will run a skeleton platform, which can be pulled from side to side by tue agency of steam or electricity. From this platform, which will be 16o feet above the auays, will depend steel wire ropes, which will support at the level of the river banks slung carriage large enough to accommodate tram car full of passengers, besides other vehicles.
 It is intended that this novel form of bridge shall be i'll connection with the tram system at both sides of the river, so that passengers can be carried across the river without leaving their seats i'll the cars. The work of building the tow CTS has already been commenced, and it is expected that the bridge will be open for traffic in IS months time. It is said that the only eontrivance bearing any resemblance to this 'pont transbor- deur'' is in operation at Bilbao. -Cham- bers' Journal.

SERVANTS IN JAPAN.

They Render Excellent Service if They
 Are Treated With Consideration.
 Japanese servants are excellent if you choose them with discretion and treat them with the established consideration of the country. There is a universal so- eial compact ill Japan to make life pleasant by politeness. Everybody is more or less we'll bred and hates the man or woman who is yakamashI--. noisy, uneivil or exigent.
 People who lose their temper are al ways in hurry, bang doors, swear aud swagger, find themselves out of place in land where the lowest eooly learns and practices an ancient courtesy from the time when he wabbles about as a baby upon his mothers back. Therefore to be treated we'll in Japan-as perhaps, indeed, ,elsewhere-you must treat every body, including your domesties, we'll, and then you will enjoy the most pleas ant aud willing service.
 Your cook will doubtless cheat you a little, your jinrikisha man will now and then take too much sake, the mus mu and the boys s wife will gallop all over the place about everything you do, and the gardener and the coachman will fight cocks ill the back yard when your back is turned, but if conscious of your own you can forgive the little sins of others. You can hardly fail to become closely attached to the quiet, soft voiced, pleasant people, who as soon as they have learned your ways will take real pleasure in making life agreeable to you.
 A present now and then of kimono Go the maids, Of toys and sweetmeats to the children, days holiday now and then granted to the theater or the wles- ting match are richly rewarded by such bright faces and unmistakable warmth If welcome on arriving and of good .lpeed e'1 going as repay you tenfold Respectful as Japanese servants are.- and they never speak except on their Knees and faces--they like to be taken into the family conversation and to sit sometimes in friendly abandon with the master and mistress, admiring dresses, pictures or western novelties and listen ing sometimes to the samisen and koto ~s children of the household.

MELTED SNOW POWER.
Swiss Towns That Utilize the Mountain
 Streams.

 Swiss Towns That Utilize the Mountain
 Streams.
 Besides a considerable number of large water power installations Switzer- land is full of small power plants, nearly every town in that land of mountains and waterfalls being veil supplied with power from the white coal, <" as the melting SHOW on the mountain sides has well been called. When there are nc large streams, many small ones are i'm pounded and collected in reservoirs on the hillsides, and it is rare to find a place of any size which is not well lighted by the power of some mountain stream.
 At Montreux the electric tramwav gets it's power ill this way, and from the old Roman town of Yeyey to the me. diaYal castle of Chillon one may ride in trolley ear propelled by the power of an insignificant little stream which may or may not be noticed when climbing up the hillsides just above.
 The capabilities of this general util. ization of natural power are beginning to be understood everywhere, and, with the appreciation of the possibilities ot the best methods of long distance trans. mission. the development of many noun tain streams must surely come. There are innumerahle streams, which, while very small, are yet very high, and these can with comparatively little difficulty be impounded and carried down many hundreds of feet, thus making up fot their lack of volume by the great pres sure readily obtainable, and, either by the use of electricity or compressed air, the power may be transmitted to many points of application with but little loss -Cassier' Magazine

Why an Enterprising Man Eas No Chance
 10 Become Millionaire.
 Hummer is one of our citizens who live well and do nothing. He tolls not, neither does he spin, and yet he and his family live ill comfort that is not many removes from luxury. This has subjected Hummer to adverse crit ieism, which fairly Iacerates his sensi- tive feelings and he unbosomed himself to few friends the other evening while they were enjoying the good things he keeps on tap.
 There's not lazy bone in my body, " he began aggressiyely "I'd rather work than eat, and I've always thought that had a great business head on me- But the records against me. My father set me up in 9 mercantile business, and when had balance struck at the end of a year there was not enough left to make decent assignment On his death l came into a handsome fortune, and just thought I'd show my rela- tives how had been misjudged by in- vesting secretly i'll a great southern land scheme. ] went down gleefully to look over my new purchase and gloat over my prospects. Most of my real es- tate was at the bottom of lake, and what was on dry land wouldn t raise a hill of corn to the acre.
 My bYoiher got me nice position as trayeling salesman, and I had sold whole carloads of goods at half price be- fore the house could head me off. They told me that I must sell to hold my place, and that was what I was doing, bnt they discharged me so hard that never got tightly over it. Mother bought me farm, and again 1 started to aston ish my folks by my business shrewd- ness. I traded the farm for the state right to patent fence. All I got out of that was a judgment against me in an infringement case. Mother left m6 what l have now, with a proviso that should forfeit every thing if I tried to do business of any kind. That's why I have no chance to make myself & mil lionaire. "--Detroit Free Press.

A Bible Sled.

A friend of the Listener saw funny sight down in Maine At a place there, which needn't be named, there lives a small boy named Jonathan Longfellow, who is third or fourth cousin of the poet, and he is q great boy too. One day this friend of the Listener was driving past young JonathAn's house and saw the boy engaged at little distance in sliding down hill on the slippery crust on something that was not sled. What could it be? Evidently the scrutiny Of tho passerby was observed by the boy, for he stopped his coasting and called out amiably, Pm sliding down hill OH the Bible. ? And it was the fact too. He had got the smooth. leather bound fam fly Bible. containing the generations of all the LongfelIows, and was coastlng on it with magnificent success. .-Boston Transcript.

Fanny Requests For Books That Amuse
 and Amaze Employees.
 Once in awhile the clerks i'll the pub lie library get hold of good joke Through the ignorance of people who come there to take out books. 1t was not long age that woman who was anxious to join the Daughters of the American Revolution came there to look up her family history and get her facts and claims ready to submit to the committee on membership. She went about 1t in rather queer way. After looking about aimlessly through the in= dex for time she discovered 'Lossing's g Family History of the United States. ]" She wrote her request for the books OF one of the cards provided for that pur. pose and was quite indignant with the clerk who handed it to her because it did not contain what she wanted.
 It was not long after this incident that another woman, who, from her dress and appearance, the clerks thought, might be literary, wrote on one of the cards a request fer "The Autoorat os the Breakfast Table.
 Holmes Autocrat, do you want?" politely asked the clerk
 "Oh, don't care whose it is, ]" was the reply. "I only want to find out if it is proper to use toothpicks at the break, fast table y
 Another request for magazine which the applicant said was called Brain kept one of the clerks busy hunting half an hour before he discovered that what was wanted was the magazine called Mind Still another clerk was shock ed the other day by a request for Wash ington Irying's Alabama.
