OF the season pervaded the gathering, and
the handsome decorations were planned to
remind Mrs. Wetzel's guests Of Easter
time. After spending pleasant evening,
the party adjourned TO the tlining-TOOm TO
find an extremely novel repast prepared
for them. Every thing about the table was
made to resemble as nearly as possible tie
shape OF an egg.
The table decorations were very beau
tiful and artistic, and as the courses came
and went some fresh novelty appeared
with each. Gold and silver eggs were
placed at each plate, and even the ices
were brought on in the form of the Easter
symbol. The evening was voted great
success by all those who shared Mr.. and
Mrs. Wetzel's hospitality, and the party
did not break up until a late hour.

DISAPPEARING GUN CARRIAGES.
Distinguished Officials See Them
Successfully Operated.

A large number of officials witnessed the
working of the new disappearing gun car
riages at Fort Washin gton yesterday after
noon The party included Vice President
Hobart, Secretaries AlgeT, Bliss and VII
son, Gen. Miles, Capt. Cutler, the inventor,
and number Of distinguished Army OF

make one of the party, but at the last
moment he notified Secretary Alger that Il
would be impossible for him TO attend.
The party went 10 the fort on the

While unnatural sounds occur in the
head as the result Of too much blood pass
ing to the brain and ears, still by far the
greater number OF cases OF buzzing and
ringing noises that are heard within the
head result from entirely different causes
than too much blood going to the head. In
these cases where the noises heard in the
head result from the rushing OF an in
creased amount of blood to the brain, the
sounds will be intermittent and will occur
like puffs OF steam, each puff correspond
ing to a beat of the heart, which is forcing
the blood along.
The fuost common and prevalent noise
IN the head is due TO an interference with
or stoppage of the inner air passages that
lead from the throat up behind the ear
drum. Noises resulting from this cause

New York, April 21-Although official
action has not been taken yet, the college
managers of the big intercollegiate boat
races have practically decided upon the
four-rnlle course at POUCH keepsie. In
spite of a splendid offer from the New
London board of trade to row the races ON
the Thames. it has been deemed advisable
to go to Poughkeepsie after all.
The Cornell crews have all along been
opposed TO New London because of the mar

are often constant day and night. In
some cases these noises occur like the
ringing of bells, the buzzing of bee, the
hiss of escaping steam, or the roar like
that made by a waterfall. Those who
suffer from such distressing noises. while
OFTEN only slightly annoyed during the
daytime, imagine the noises are much
worse at night, because the external noises
OF life during the day serve to partially
drown those heard within the head. When
the tube that leads from the throat to the
car drum is free and open and in health,
the waves of sound coming from without
are conveyed along the channel leading
down TO the ear drum, and these sound
waves cause the little drum to vibrate and
repeat the sound TO the inner chambers Of
the ear, where they aretaken up by nerves
and carried to the brain. After these
sound waves have done their duty they
pass out through the tube that leads from
the middle ear to the throat and are lost
and gone.

When these tubes are blocked up the
sound waves, after entering the middle
ear, and travelling along the channels and
passages and canals OF the inner ear, and
having done their duty, finding no open
ing for escape into the throat, remain in
the ear, and one set of sound waves
mingle with other and entirely different
sound waves, until there is formed con-
fused tumble that never leaves, remain
ing ever present, assuming the form OF
one of the peculiar varieties of ear noises
that are so commonly heard. This is the
explana alton of those ringing noises in the
ears which so often warn the patient Of
approaching deafness, and so often &C
company deafness. This is what the doc
tors mean by Tinnitus Aurium.

Now, before any marked sense OF lost
hearing is observed, great many people
notice the confused and ringing noises
IN the ear They notice they hear better
in a crowd or in noisy street car, where
the rattle and hum Of the machinery is
taking place, than they can in the quiet
Of their own homes. The reason for this
is that the busy SQUADS OF life drown the
internal head noises and allow in noisy
place the external sounds to be analysed,
while In a more quiet place the head noises
make such an impression that ordinary
conversation is heard muff'ed and indis-
tinct.
One OF the very first signs that the
hearing is about to fail is the presence of
ringing noises In the head. During the
day the pleasures OF a person so affected
are seriously interfcred with, while cur
ing the night that follows succession of
horrors is presented winch in many i'm
stances render refreshing sleep imposd4
BILE. During the treatment of deafness
the usual course Is to get the ringing noises
to cease, and this often happens some
little time before improvement In the hear
ing is noticed.
