Nerves and Noises.

Dr. +. Fl. Corbyn delivered recently a
lecture, under the auspices of the Associa-
ton For the Suppression Of Street Noises,
on the subject of Noises and Nerves. -
One would have thought that there could
not be two opinions, and as matter oi
fact there are two medical opinions, as To
the righteousness to nerves and health OF
the babel of confusion which makes some
portions of London hideous by day and
night. No doubt in vast population like
our own a certain amount of noise and a
certain variety of more or less unpleasant
sounds are inevitable and cannot be got
rid of. But for this very reason it is all
the more imperative that those noises
which are not inevitable should and must
be- got rid of in the sternest and most un'
compromising way.
In the matter Of street noises we affirm
that the main facts TO be considered arc
these-that the strenuous toilers with head
and hand in London to the number of tens
of thousands are now daily sacrificing in
nerve and health To few hundreds or
thousands at most who mainly prefer loaf
ing to work. This should not be. Phys
iology demands that it shall not be. An
adequate sense of public order declares that
1t must not be. Just as in old times our
forefathers disostablished street beggars
put up street lamps and made the public
thoroughfares passable and safe by day
and night, so must we, In our times, pro-
vide for new necessities and sternly put an
end to every unnecessary hindrance to
mental quiet, steadiness of nerve, refresh
ing sleep and sound working capacity

His Daughters Lovers Came In Too Rap

A travelling man who makes monthly
trips through West Virginia told this story
Of a courtship of his:
"Tlicre is one of the prettiest girls in
the country living In little West Virginia

myself very much in love with her and
wanted to marry her. The girls father
was customer of mine and / always timed
my trips so that could spend the evening
at his house.
zone night concluded to try my fate,
and managing to see her alone 1 proposed
to her. l was accepted conditionally upon
my getting her fathers consent, and was
not to ask him until after she had a chance
to soften him little. OF course when
went away that night thought Of nothing
but what presents to send her. 1 could
not SEQ her for month, but we could
write. We wrote every day, and invested
q whole months salary in presents.
"When reached the town again, called
at once to see her, and she told me to ask
her father the momentous question at once.
Approaching the old man, he said to me:
Young man, you act as II you was going

are, I'll just say that I've been pestered
enough by her lovers. I've just got to the

street Crouds In Caracas.

One of the features of the city Of Cara

exemplified when some Of the many wan

sooner echo through the neighborhood
than there gathers to listen vast throng
that almost blocks up the thoroughfare.
The oobblers and all the other tenants OF
the entries, having no doors TO open nor
stairs to descend, are on the spot almost
instanter. They eagerly drink In the music
but at the same time bear wary eye upon
the hats of the musicians and no sooner do
