GUN FIRING AND DEAFNESS.
Serious Effects Upon the Ears of Men
on ShIpbORrd

The stunning report Of each gun as il is
fired is something that stranger on the
deck will long remember. There is an old
saying, deaf as a post" Now, in the
royal navy, this is changed to deaf as q
post captain" No man can go through a
long series of gunnery practices without
having his hearing seriously affected
Some men put cotton wool in their ears
but even this precaution does little to
deaden the terrible shock. And Il the fir
ing OF one or two guns has such a shat
tering power, what would be the effect If
the whole armament were in action to-
geJher?
It is almost impossible to conceive the
strain upon nerve and senses of the rem
ing conclusion. If visitor watches the
firing of one of the monster ninc-inch
guns and then places himself beside one
Of the smaller pieces. the report made by
the one will not appear much louder than
that OF the other. The extra distance to
the muzzle of the big piece discounts the
sound. The only apparent difference be-
tween the two appears to be that the small
pieces have a sharper, higher pitched
note and that the six and nine-inch guns
speak with more of a believing roar. One
piece of advice may be giv.a TO anyone
who finds himself in the neighborhood OF
"A gun in action. The noise will not have
nearly the same effect If you are watching
the gun as IL the crash comes unexpected
~. Unconsciously nature prepares you to
resist a shock which is known TO be i'm
pending.

six. The woman was trying to sell the
little girl for TWO rupees, about 10 cents,
saying they must all die anyway. and the
price Of the girl would keep life in her
and the boy for yet a little while.
Thousands of women are so weak for
lack of food that they cannot stand and
the children around them are mere skele-
tons covered with skin. A mother so sit
uated is helpless. She would deny herself
and give to the children. but she has food
neither for herself nor for them. Ma
hometan will give her thirty-five cents
for her daughter. She shudders, but the
girl will be fed. at any rate, and her price
will feed the others for several days. So
the bargain is made and the girl goes
away into horrible captivity. Sometimes
mothers abandon their children by the
roadside, hoping either that some chari-
table person may take pity on them, or
that death may speedily end their suffer-
ings. One little girl was taken by her
mother to the edge OF pool. The mother
was about to push her into the water,
when the child begged her not to. but to
let her go and she would beg for bread and
not trouble her mother any more.
From these stories it is not just to liz
fer that the Indian mother loves her Off
spring less than American mothers love
their own children. 1t is simply that when
a mother is starving to death. when her
suffering reaches a certain stage she be-
comes even less than an animal, for ma
ternal instinct perishes.
Since the famine began five months ago
whole districts have become depopulated

stricken area that has not its scores Of va

BUCKETsHoP DEALINGS.
A Straight Tip That Benefits Bogus
Rival Operators.

(From the New Orleans Times Demoerst)
IF the real inside workings of the aver
age bucketshop were laid bare" said a
telegraph operator who has had much ex-
perience in such establishments, the rev.
elation would open the eyes of the young
donkeys who imagine they can beat the
game Just to Illustrate the point I'll tell
you a little story. Some time ago there
were two rival bucketshops in certain
Southern city. supposed to be run BY North
ern operators. Business was a little slow,
and it was evident that the speculative
element was inclined to be suspicious of
both establishments. One day the man
ager of one OF the concerns hunted up a
young fellow who had more money than
brains and, handing him $50. asked him,
as a special favor, 10 go over to the other
house and make such and such a play.
It's private speculation of my own he
said, and have a straight tip, but l can't
very we'll place the money myself on ac-
count of my connection with - & Co. IL
| did. they'd get suspicious right away
The young idiot supposed, of course. that
he had struck a bonanZa-one bucketshop
man playing against anotheri-it must be
a sure thing,-so he not only placed the
$50 as requested, but played the tip hard
himself, and so did all his friends, whom he
promptly let into the secret. Needless to say
they were all eventually skinned out Of every
cent they put in. but the remarks BILE part
OF the story is that the same tactics were
worked back and forth by both managers
on at least a dozen different occasions.
Each time it was done they gathered in
a lot of new clients and made big haul.
1t developed not long afterward that the
two bucketshops were run by the same
people,"

of the tropics wherein most of the Pacific
islands lie. At Tahiti is the radial place
below the equator. little less removed
from the centre of heat and farther from
the origin of travel than Hawaii. Both

half indolent, half Industrious; in products
both tropical and semi-tropical. Both form
an admirable preparation for the things be-

And in these territories there is even
more apt and conclusive introduction 10
what lies beyond than there is in Hawaii

footsteps OF the ancient civilization which
entered the Pacific islands centuries before
European navigators went in quest of
spices and Jewels. In the same islands are
the crude savages who have never yielded
to the advance of the civilizer, and in the
extreme northern point of SumatTa are the
Achinese. who are still the pirates they
have always been, preying on the shipping
and wealth of the more cultured nations

A WRONG COURT OF APPEAL

The Assistant Attorney General for the
Postofiice Department is almost daily re-
quested by people from all parts Of the
country to render his assistance or give
advice in many cases which do not come
within his official Jurisdiction.
As an illustration. yesterday he received
letter from a young man in this city,
in which the writer made the Assistant
Attorney General his confidant in his love
AFFAIRS, and asked his advice as TO what
TO do. and also to aid him in the recovery
OF three diamond rings The young man
SAID In his letter that he met a young,
beautiful girl, with whom he fell in love
at first sight. She reciprocated his love
and the courtship progressed satisfactorily
10 both parties concerned until he
asked her TO be his own This
seems to be the point where
the young mans troubles began.
Upon his request to marry him she ac-
quiesced, but demanded as a proof Of his
sincerity three diamond rings The Young
man took all the money he had saved and
invested it In three diamond rings, which
he presented to the choice of his heart,
with VOWS of eternal love and fidelity.
She graciousiy accepted the gifts and
promised that she would marry either him
or nobody
The young man pressed his suit, but at
every advance he made she offered an
excuse, until finally she refused TO see
him.
The rejected lover now seeks the advice
and assistance of the Assistant Attorney
General in recovering the three diamond
rings, as they were obtained, as he says,
under false pretences. and making use
of the males for fraudulent purposes.
