LonRfsiIow.s wayside Inn.

"Rich in the historical and literary
associations accumulated during two
centuries of existence" says the
Ladies' Home Journal for Septem-
Der, 1.-The Wayside Inn, built by
David Howe still stands remote
among the wooded hills in South Sud
bury, Mass. The Londlord' of Long
fellows famous tales was the dignified
Squire Lyman Howe, Justice of the
peace and school committeeman, who
lived a bachelor and died at the inn
in 1S6O-the last of his line to keep
the famous hostelry. Besides Squire
Howe, the only other real characters
in the Tales who were ever actually at
the inn were Thomas w. Parsons, the
poet; Luigi Monti, the Sicilian, and
Professor Daniel Treadwell OF Har-
ward, the theologian. all three of whom
were in the habit of spending the sum-
mer months there. OF the other char
acters, the musician was Ole Bull, the
student was Henry Ware Wales. and
the Spanish Jew was Israel Edrehf.
Near the room in which Longfellow
stayed is the ballroom with the dais at
one end for the fiddlers. But the pol
ished floor no longer feels the pressure
of dainty feet in high-heeled slippers
gliding over it to the strains of contra
dance, cotillon or minuet, although the
merry voices of summer visitors and
the jingling bells of winter sleighing
parties at times still break the quiet
of the ancient inn"

Photographing the Eye.

A satisfactory reproduction of such
a restless and delicate subject as the
human eye has hitherto been consid-
cred beyond the power of the average
amateur photographer, but DIR. Mad
dox, late assistant ophthalmic surgeon
to the Edinburgh Royal infrmary, has
realized the value of records of eye
operations, and experiments in photo
graphing the eye have lately been made
i'll Edinburgh with a fair amount of sue
cess. One of the usual tests is the OBJ
servation of certain reflections in the
camera and pupil produced by sym
metrical object held in front of the
eye. The degree of distortion and the
reflection or displacement from it's
normal position determine with acclr-
acy the state of vision and form the
basis of subsequent operations. Photo
graphs of these reflections are now be
ing made to guide the ophthalmic spe
cialists in their diagnoses.

HE MISSED THE MOTIVE.
The Speaker Thought 1t Was His Own
Genius That Held the
Child.

This is a story which Representative Eddy,
of Minnesota, tells on himself. Mr.. Eddy
not only enjoys the situation when the laugh
is turned against him, but has sense of hui
NOR which leads him to start the laugh some
times himself:
'In making the campaign. in my district
one year." said Mr.. Eddy, 81 took along as
an attraction a veteran of the war of 1872
and of the civil war who was famous hand
at beating the drum. He was drummer
from away back and could arouse whole
township. Drum music is an incendiary
kind of thing, anyhow, and the old captains
drumming was particularly stirring.
'.Well, one night, after the captains drum
had given the usual overture, commenced
my speech to the populace which had been
lured to the scene by his drum. I noticed
at the foot of the rostrum, the same being
a big dry goods box, bright-eyed little
fellow about II years old, who sat through
the speech, following me with great atten-
ton. 1t pleased me very much. Any fool
can interest an audience of adults, but it
takes a genius to hold child.
$50, after the speaking, went down and
spoke to the little fellow, and after shaking
hands with him asked him how he liked my
speech.
oh, it will d. he said; but if I was
you I would keep the captain drummin' all

Treatise on Philosophy.

In his System of Ethics" Mr.. Paul
sen says that acts are called good when
they tend to promote human welfare;
bad they tend to disturb and destroy it.
The highest good of an individual az
well as of society consists in the per-
feet development and exercise of life,
He also says philosophical pessimism
is not a proved theory whose PROPOSE
tions can lay claim to universal valid
ity, but the expression of individual
feelings, and as such can be merely SUBJ
jectively true. Inasmuch us we have
no statistics on the happy and unhap-
by lives, the successes and failures, the
author says he is for the present in
clined to put as much faith in the judg.
ment of plain man of the people as n
the eloquence of a pessimistic philoso
pher.

DEADLY AIR BUBBLES.
Mare Soldiers Are Killed by The
Than by the Leaden Missiles
That Produce, Them.

Very often a soldier gets so severe
a wound from the tiny bullet of the
modern rifle that he concludes the en-
envy has no respect for the Geneva
convention, and is using the terrible
explosive bullets which no civilized
nation uses now. Surgeons who know
their business are, says Answers, well
aware of the explanation of this mis-
take. The explosive effects are due to
the air which the bullet drives before
it into the wound.
Anyone can put the matter to a
simple test. BY dropping a round
bullet into a glass of water from a
height of one or two yards it will be
seen that the moment the bullet
touches the bottom very large bub-
BILE of air will become detached and
rise to the surface. In some cases
this bubble has a volume of air 20
times as large as the bullet.
But when rifle bullet is travelling
at immense speed it drives before it
a compressed bubble much larger still.
A military surgeon fired a pistol into
q vessel of water so arranged that he
was able to catch and measure the air
bubble, and he found it to be 100
times the size of the ball.
The destructive effects of this mass
of air when it gets into mans body
may be imagined. It regularly ex-
plodes, tearing the muscles in ter
rible manner. In fact, very often the
soldier who is said to have died from
q bullet wound is really killed by this
explosive volume of air, which is ap-
propriately called "projectile air."

Deafne.. Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh that
