A Natural Magnet.

Professor Smythe was once lecturing
in a provincial town on natural philos-
ophy, and in the course of his expert
ments he introduced most powerful
magnet, with which he attracted a
block of iron from distance OF two
feet.
"Can any of you conceive greater
attractive power?" demanded the lee
turer, with an air of triumph.
81 can" answered voice from the
audience.
"Not q natural terrestrial object?'
Eyes, indeed"
The lecturer, somewhat puzzled,
challenged the man who had spoken to
name the article. Then up rose old
Johnny Sowerby. Said he:
81 will give you facts, professor, and
You can Judge for yourself. When l was
young man, there was little piece O.
natural magnet done up in neat cot
ton dress as was called Betsy Maria.
She could draw me IA miles on Sunday

wind or weather. There wasn't no re-
sistin her. That magnet o yourn Is
pretty good, but it won't draw SO Tar as

ENGLISH IN CHICAGO.
Discussion on Grammar Between a News
paper and "A Citizen.


The Chicago Inter Ocean becomes
both sarcastic and indignant when any
one questions the purity of its diction.
So when reader named Campbell ven
tured to criticise expressions used by its
society editor the captious one found
that he had caught Tartar. This is the
way The Inter Ocean puts it:
Enclosed with the following letter,
received few days ago, were two clip
pings from the society columns of The
Inter Oceau;
Here are three barbarisms that caught my
eye in this mornings issue of your paper
There is no such word as ''gowned"-it IL
NEARLY Cockney vulgarism that had its
origin in London, England-"Swellest" is Of
the same sort-and same origin-No American
having any regard for purity of language can
use such slang-As all these words appear in
30 called "society items" l take it your Society
editor Is a male or female dude and needs n
lesson in language-The harm done by the use
Of such words IN your paper is very great as
thousands Of children read it and absorb its
words-Do stop this Coclney vulgarity-

He said of heroine in one of his poems
that she was "gowned in pure white. u

His Choice.

1t is said that Charles Wesley was
sometimes easily annoyed, and on one
occasion at conference he became so
irritated at the prolix remarks of a
speaker that he said to his brother:
"Stop that mans speaking. Let us
attend to business.
But the offender was relating his re-
ligious experience, and though itwas at
so great length John Wesley evident
ly thought that no one had right to
interfere with it. He was therefore al
lowed to continue, but the moment
came when Charles could contain him
self no longer.
UNLESS he stops" he whispered to
John, "I'll leave the conference.
BY this time John was enjoying the
mans simple story, and he only turned
and whispered to some one sitting near

Cropping Them Prevents the Animals
From Hearing Well.
Any one who has heard the mega
phone must have wondered at the ex-
traordinary power of increasing sound
that is produced by form, and l would
like to call attention to one point in
connection with cutting dogs ears that
do not remember to have seen men,
toned anywhere - that is, from an
acoustic standpoint:
/ have lately purchased small York
shire terrier, imported from England
only few months ago. It's ears were
clipped in England after what the seller
of the dog declared to be "the very lat
est style.
The ears were first clipped and then
stiffened up with three effects on the
dog:
First. the buzz of bee or fly
causes him to retreat under cover OF
safety.
Second. THAT he ducks his head
when about to be patted, sure sign OF
the length Of time the pain of the oper-
alton must have lasted.
Third lar effect had not expect
ed. That he has absolutely no idea OF
the direction of sound.
In the ears Of a mastiff dog any one
who observes the shell-like form OF the
ear opening may easily imagine the i'm
mense power of such trumpetlike in,
strument to increase the volume OF
sound. A change in the acoustical ar
rangement of the flap of the ear would
necessarily entirely puzzle and bewildel
the owner as to the direction Of sound
and this one point on ear cutting wouit
seem of itself to condemn the practice

Burma Marriages.

In Burma marriages are exceedingly
simple; there is no display and no ex'
element. The bride, though, not the
bridegroom, is the wooing spirit When
a Burmese beauty spies youth with
whom she believes she can be happy,
she gives him piece of candy. If he
takes it and eats it, the matter is set
tied, and the two are pronounced man
and wife without any more formality
But if the youths heart is otherwise
engaged he refuses the candy, and the
woman has to be content with that

Bancroft Commercial: Anna Shrmap, a
girl ten years old, put two beans into Ter
ear at school. Friday. BY Sunday the
beans had sweled and the ear was badly
iniiamed, and the child was taken to DIR.
Wixom's home to haye them extracted.
The doctor was progressing nicely and had
succeeded in removing one bean aud had
hold of the other when she struck his arm,
sending the sted beyond reach, making 1t
necessary to put her under The influence of
chlorform. in which condition she lay for
several hours before the operation was
finished and it is probably safe to say that
she will leave her ears alone, hereafter.
