Life in bath must be somewhat mo-
notonous, but it is quite common in the
best of our modern hospitals. At first it
was tried only in few absolutely hope
less cases. but the results were SO salts
factory that various forms of disease are
now Systematically treated by continu-
GUS immersion in water.
Some time ago, for instance. young
girl was dying from a complication Of
terrible diseases. She was mere shad-
ow, and nothing but death was before
her under ordinary treatment. But an
ingenious doctor placed her on @ sheet
and sank her into q warm bath, 90 that
only her head remained above water.
The bath was kept constantly warm,
and in it she ate. drank and slept for
1873 days and nights. At the end Of the
time she stepped out fat and strong.
In skin diseases the continuous bath
is invaluable, for it can DO medicated,
and many hopeless cases Of burning
have been successfully treated in this
extraordinary way.-ExchanRe.

secret of the Telephone Di.covery.

Secret of the Telephone Discovery.
Professor Alexander Graham Bell is
reported to have explained in lecture
how he came to invent the telephone as
follows:
my father invented a symbol by
which deaf mutes could converse, and
finally invented an apparatus by
which the vibrations of speech could be
seen, and it turned out to be a tele-
phone. 1t occurred to me to make q
machine that would enable one to hear
vibrations. l went to an aurist, and he
advised me to take the human ear as
my model. He supplied me with dead
mans ear, and with this ear 1 expert
mented, and upon applying the appa-
ratus found that the dead mans ear
wrote down the vibrations.
''I arrived at the conclusion that If I
could make iron vibrate on a dead
mans ear l could make an instrument
more delicate which would cause those
vibrations to be heard and understood.
thought if placed a delicate piece of
steel over an electric magnet l could
get vibration and thus the telephone
was completed.
1.-THE telephone arose from my at
tempts to teach the deaf to speak. 1t
arose from my knowledge, not of cleo
tricity, but as a teacher of the deaf.
Had been an electrician | would not
have attempted it. "-Electrical World

Beardman was a writer of plays ulti-
mately fairly we'll known in his day.
For nearly 30 years he struggled and
fought his way along without meeting
with any very pronounced success, each
play in turn proving more or less of a
failure. At last, however, he produced
a play that really caught the public
taste He and the famous Sheridan
happened to be present together on the
opening night. All went well. Success
followed success, and applause greeted
and ended each scene. At the end of the
second act Beardman' s elation got the
better of his discretion, and, leaning
over toward Sheridan-as usual. too
witty to be merely sympathetic-he ex-
claimed:
SHERIDAN, Sheridan, it's going to
be a success, complete successr'
"Ah, yes. murmured Sheridan, with
exquisite compassion in his voice, 'too
bad, too bad'
''Too badf' stammered his friend,
completely taken off his guard. "Why
too bad that it should prove successH"
Because now. retorted Sheridan,
It'll take you another 30 years to con-
vince any one you wrote it. Town

Vitality of SnaiIs.

The snail is blessed with great powers
Of vitality A case is recorded of an
Egyptian desert snail which came to
life upon being immersed in warm wa
ter after having passed four years glued
to card in the English museum. Some
species, in the collection of a certain
naturalist, revived after they had appa-
rently been dead for is years; and
snails, having been frozen for weeks in
solid blocks of ice, have recovered upon
being thawed out The eggs are as hard
to destroy as the snail itself. They seem
perfectly Indifferent to freezing and
have been known to prove productive
after having been shriveled up in an
oven to the semblance of grains of sand.

Makes the food more delicious and wholesome

When the first village improvement So
ciety was formed 1t had all the ordinary
evils common to villages to combat, mud
dy, uneven streets, absence of decent
sidewalks, shabby, ill-kept fences, weeds
and all the other abominations with which,
alas, we are all too familiar, were pres
ent. Municipal pride once aroused, rapid
progress was made. The first year one
thousand dollars we're raised and over
four hundred trees were planted. Grad
ually, as means afforded, the streets were
drained and graded, people were per-
suaded to take down their fences, decent
sidewalks were laid, and proper system
of lighting and watering the village was
provided. All of this work was aided
and abetted by the town council. The
society has paid half the cost of erecting
a pretty railway station, and half the cost
of adding an acre and half to the sta
tion grounds, which is planted In trees,
flowers and shrubbery. In such place,
who would grumble If the train was few
minutes late?
Down the village street an unhewn
monolith of granite was erected on the
site of the old Indian burial ground. At
the foot of the shaft huge boulder bears
an inscription to "The Friends of our
Fathers" AS early as 1884 the we'll
known Sedgwick family gave to the trus-
tees laurel and oak crowned eminence
as pleasure ground for the people.
This ground has since been transferred to
the care of the Laurel Hi II Village I'M
provement Society of Stock bridge. Paths
have been made, the grounds kept in Or
der, and it is on this hill the annual re-
unions of the association take place.
Stockbridge has been rich in eminent
sons. This was the native place of the
famous Field family, and most generous
ly have they remembered their old home.
David Dudley Field presented the village
with the beautiful chime and clock tower.
In his will MIR. Field left $4,000, the in
come of which was to be divided between
funds to keep the cemetery in order and
to pay for ringing the chimes. Cyrus w.
Field gave $4,000 for park, and just
before his death gave fifty-eight acres Of
land, including beautiful glen, for pub
lie use.
The village has beautiful library, sup
ported out of the public funds. In front
of the library is an unique drinking foun-
tain. Within the building Is the table at
which Jonathan Edwards wrote his trea-
tise on ''The Freedom of the WILL
Jonathan Edwards was one of the early
missionaries sent to the Stock bridge In
dians, and was afterwards pastor, and
lived there until his call to the presidency
of Princeton college. His descendants
have erected a fine monument to his
memory.
Stockbridge erected the second soldiers
monument in the state to the memory OF
her men who fell in the civil war, and has
similarly commemorated her heroes OF
the Revolution. Among the wise provis-
ions of the village is casino, where the
social side of the town life gathers, and II
would seem that municipal pride and the
people have left nothing undone to make
their village attractive.

Coleridge has a lamentable want Of
voluntary power. If he is excited by a
remark in company he will pour forth
in an evening, without apparent effort,
what would furnish matter for a hun
dred essays. But the moment that he is
to write not from present impulse but
from preordained deliberation his pow
ers fail him, and l believe that there
are times when he could not pen the
commonest notes. He is one of those
minds who, except in inspired moods
can do nothing, and his inspirations are
all oral and not scriptural And when
he is inspired he surpasses, in my opin-
ion. all that could be thought or imag-
ined of human being. Charles

Among the many curious things
noted by the actuaries the following
are few of the most interesting. Wo-
men have much better prospect of
long life than men, and the chances of
married people are distinctly higher
than those of bachelors and old maids.
From the data provided by the rec
ords of various churches it has been de-
duced that the peaceful Quakers have
most frequently received the blessings
Of long life promised in the fifth COM
mandment, while the death rate is re-
markably high among Methodist clergy
men. Annuitants as class live from
three to five years longer than other
people, and this is not due to human
perversity, as some humorists have sug-
gested. 1t is undoubtedly due to the
lack of worry regarding the changes of
fortune when a regular income is a GER
tainty.
Although no statistics have been col
lected on the death rate in the civil
service, where the yearly income almost
partakes of the character of an annuity,
it would perhaps be found that there is
some scientific basis for President
