Daudet had lurking kindness for

Recently the railway surgeons Of

heard an interesting chat in the lobby
of hotel by some of them. The uni.
versal opinion among them was that IL
is just as important that the ears of
railroad employees. and particularly
the ears of locomotive engineers, should
be scientifically tested for natural or &C.
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 II
the truth were known. This disease
makes the ear of locomotive engineer
sensitive to the sounds by which he is
Immediately surrounded, but entirely
deaf to sounds of all other kinds
THE same condition is often OBJ
served among boiler makers. who can
hear slight noises when the air is laden
with the chatter of hammers upon iron
plates, while they are insensible to the
same sounds in quiet surroundings Lo-
com olive engineers sometimes have de-
fective ears that can detect slight sounds
indicating imperfect working of the ma.
chinery. even while tho bell is ringing
or the whistle blowing or both are in
use. A locomotive engineer thus affiict-
ed 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. +"

Descent from a Balloon by Bicycle

A pharachutlst, known as "Profes-
sor" Anthony, has accomplished a sen
satlonai descent at Luton by dropping
from a height of 5000 feet while ped
allng" bicycle. This is said to be
the first introduction of the bicycle in
to this hazardous kind of exhibition
Slgnor Balleni, of the Crystal Palace
took the balloon up with the ''profes-
sor" dangling below the car, and when
an elevation of 1900 feet had been
reached. he gave the signal to drop.
The parachute opened by an apparatus
worked by ''pedaling' the bicycle, and
the professor" afterward stated that
he dropped fifty feet before 1t opened
properly During that time he had to
pedal hard. The descent was very
slow on account of the parachute being
rather too large, and the parachutst
was carried by the wind to some farms
near Caddlngton, from which place he
rode back to Luton.-Pall Mall Gazette.

A Gcnerous Duchess.

1t is generally agreed that the dom.

but that term does inadequate justice
to the heart from which 1t sprung She
was charity itself. and a wonderful or
ganlzer of charitable relief on a large
scale.
1t is said that she gave out of her own
pocket good fifth of the annual
amount granted to her by Parliament.
and story, vouched for by the St.
James Budget. shows that she knew
how to give on a small scale; to be gen.
erous In mind as well as with money.
There were to be some festivities at
White Lodge. the Richmond residence
of the duchess, and an invitation was
sent TO the secretary of charity In
which the duchess was interested. BY
later post the young lady received a
letter from friend, asking her TO
tennis party which was TO be held the
same day.
Next morning both invitations were
acknowledged, but the replies were
carelessly put in the wrong envelopes.
The duchess opened the letter in which
the writer declared to her friend that
she was very sorry she could not come
to tennis, because stout Mary" had
asked her to White Lodge, and she
was bound TO go.
The day duly arrived, and the frank
young lady was warmly welcomed by
the duchess, who afterward took her
aside and laughing said:
MY dear girl, | know am stout. but
cannot help It, You should be more
careful In posting your letters, and
never forget that you do not know who
will read what you write. Don't apollo
glze. have forgiven you."
