WHISTLE DEAFNESS.

The Strange Disease Which Attacks LOCO
motive Engineers
Railway surgeons are learning many
new facts in regard to the physical re-
quirements of railway employees, said
J. X. Matson of Chicago at the Southern.
Recently the railway surgeons Of
the United States held q national con-
yention in Chicago, and one night
heard an interesting chat in the lobby
of a hotel by some of them. The uni
versal opinion among them was that it
is just as important that the ears Of
railroad employees, and particularly
the ears of locomotive engineers, should
be scientifically tested for natural 0r ac-
quired defects as that their eyes should
be tested for possible color blindness.
Whistle deafness is now a common
disease among railroad employees
Many railroad accident could be traced
to this peculiar whistle deafness if
the truth were known. This disease
makes the ear Of a locomotive engineer
sensitive TO the sounds by which he is
Immediately surrounded, but entirely
deaf to sounds Of all other kinds.
''Tbe same condition is often OBJ
served among boiler makers, who can
hear slight noises when the air is laden
with the clatter Of hammers upon iron
plates. while they are insensible to the
same sounds in quiet surroundings. Lo-
comOtive engineers sometimes have de-
feetive ears that can detect slight sounds
indicating imperfect working of the ma
chinery, even while the tell is ringing
or the whistle blowing or both are in
use. \ locomotive engineer thus affiict-
cd should be relieved of duty for awhile
until the ear has recovered its normal
condition. enabling it to discriminate
between sounds according TO their exact
relative volume, pitch and Intensity"

Dr.. Whewell, master of Trinity col
lege. Cambridge, was a great but un-
popular man. When be entered the sen
ate house, it was the i'll hammered prac-
tice Of the undergraduates to begin q
loud and continuous whistle.
How this originated do not know, s"
writes Dean Farrar in his book ''Men !
Have Known" There were two leg
ends about it, One was that it intimat-
I'd that the master would have to whis-
tie for a bishopric; the other-equally
absurd-was that when some one had
asked him how to pronounce his name
he had said, You must shape your
mouth as if you were going to whistle. -
But under the rough manners of the
students there was genuine goodness of
heart. Dr. WhewelI's wife died. He
had 81 tenderly devoted to her, and
when be attended chapel after her death
the undergraduates were touched by an
"cld mans anguish and strong man IS
tears. -
when next he entered the senate
house, writes Dean Farrar, there was
dead silence. For the first time for /
know not how many years not whis-
tie was heard, and then a moment after
ward as by spontaneous impulse the
whole crowded mass of undergraduates
IN the gallery burst into loud and
long continued cheer. Il was not aston
ishing that such a proof of sympathy
should move the heart of the great mas
ter or that the tears should run down
his checks. Go not think that he was
ever whistled CT again. -

Rural Mail Delivery.

The subject of free mail delivery in
country districts occupied the attention
of the lower House Of Congress on Thurs
day, when figures and arguments were
presented which showed that rural de-
livery has passed the experimental stage,
with the result that the proposed appro-
priation was increased from SI50.0OO to
100000. Last year bat SO, 600 was allow
cd TO this branch of the Postal Service,
and the passing of the bill for the extern
sion Of the system viii be pleasing news
10 the country districts.
The free delivery having been tried at
Ruffsdsle and New Stanton, in West
moreland county. and proved a success,
Congressman Robbins took prominent
part in the discussion; he wanted part
OF the appropriation used for extra In
spectors, claiming that when a cOmmu-
nifty asked for the free delivery the regu-
lar Inspectors were slow to act aud that
it was months before an investigation
was made. The majority of the House,
however, did not see it that way and the
amendment was defeated.

Joe jefferson calls attention to an in

Wrinkle is the only person in the play

characters are obliged to content them
selves with ordinary English.
1t heightens the effect for Rip to
speak as be does in broken accents, put

make a legitimate retort against tic

The Loves Of ~ Architect.

The architect, says Russell Sturgis in
The Atlantic, must possess a love OF
building, aud Of heavy stones. aud Of
good bricks, and Of stout, solid walls
aud Of handsome timbers, handsomely
cut and framed. He must ever love
the new material, wrought and rolled
iron and steel, for its great and as
yet only partly known capabilities.
When one Is asked by would be
student of architecture about his (the
ludent's) chances of succeeding as an
, irchitect, it is very good TO find out
what his prOcliyities are and wheth-
er be is merely interested in fine art
and seized with the idea that archi-
lecture is an easy, fine art to study and
TO practice.
The architect should love the quarries
and should visit them with eager curl
osity. The cleavage of stone and its ap-
pearance in its natural bed should be
not only delight to him, but an object
Of close study The architect should
love the lumber yard, not TO say the
forest. To him the timber in itself
should lie thing delightful to study
and its possible uses delightful to con-
template. The architect should love the
brickyard. and experiments in cements
and in mortars should be his holiday
amusement. And, finally, the architect
must have such an eye and such a
soundness of judgment that bad work
cannot escape him. 4 familiarity with
details net unlike that Of good master
builder he must combine with 4 knowl-
edge Of principles and Of possibilities
far beyond that of tho master builder,
so that good work viii come TO his
buildings as of inevitable sequence. and
bad or even slighted work Will bo i'm
