THE INFLUENCE OF NOISE.

Very few people realize how I'm.
portant Il factor noise is in the pro
duction OF disease. Although not
generally recognized, this is one OF
the principal reasons why country
life is more healthful than city life.
The proportionate excess OF disease
in cities Is not all due to defective
dwellings and imperfect nutrition. al
though they are grave contributing
causes. Ii Is the ceaseless roar and
din of large city that slowly but
surely undermines the health. Apart
from it's baneful effects upon the
sense of hearing itself. the ceaseless

logued as one of the principal causes
of neurasthenia. 1t is true that the
system becomes habituated to it. even
as the operatives in boiler factory
become so accustomed to the changing
OF the hammers that the cessation of
work almost operates as a shock; but
although the system becomes trained
to take no active cognizance of it. its
demoralizing effects are ever present
When will our legislators recognize
the fact that the health of the com.
munity Is its most valuable asset, and
take the necessary steps to assist in
preserving 1t? Doubtless there are

life which 1t is impossible to suppress
but very large proportion of them
are easily preventible-for instance
the incessant discordant changing of
car gongs, the sCreeching and footing
OF switch engines in railroad yards,
the rattle of heavily loaded wagons
over badly paved streets and the deaf
cning yells of fruit vendors and news
boys. In London the city government
has recently taken steps to suppress
the last named nuisance-a proceed
ing which might be followed with adj
vantage in our own cities. We are
led to the above reflections by the
discharges of crackers that character
ize the arrival of the all-important
Fourth and at the risk of being con-
sidered deficient in patriotism we
would raise the question whether
nation like the American. which leads
the world in so many important mat
ters could not find some more reason
able method of expressing it's jubila-
ton than by din of discordant sound
emanating from fireworks, horns and
steam whistles? The lower we de-
scend in the scale of humanity the
greater we find the Partially for
noise, and reasoning from this stand
point the present means employed in
the celebration Of popular events is
by no means complimentary to the
boasted breeding of the nation. We
cannot avoid the conclusion that in
nation of gentlemen the disease-pro-
ducing din which is an accompani-
ment of present city life would be
conspicuous by its absence.-Health.

The death of a number of courage
GUS and high minded people caused
by efforts to determine whether mos.
quito bites can convey yellow fever,
Is a reminder of the penalties which
science has ever eXacted from her
devotees. Comparative poverty, If not
actual want. must be faced without
hesitation. Even when the govern.
ment has need of it, the price paid for
superior learning is very insufficient.
Inc ordinary social intercourse is to
be foregone. And even life itself must
sometimes be risked; not to attain
any definite object which shall at least
cause the martyrs name to sound
with honor. but simply to secure an
authoritative yes" or mo" to ques-
tons on which future experimental
tons depend. The soldier is lauded
for his courage and the statesman Is
admired for his ability. The public
loves to honor them as they deserve
to be honored, because 1t has been
taken into their confidence and per.
mitted to follow their achievements
step by step. But the scientist must
be content with some memorial away
from the ordinary walks of men. His
name is carved upon no lofty monu-
ments. His splendid sacrifice must be

In an Australian country town lived
a widow named Sawyer and her pretty
daughter Mary. AS often happens,
the daughter was in love with young
man against whom the widow enter
tanned a most unmerited prejudice.
One morning Mary was missing, and
her mother, divining the cause, rushed
hatless and with huge white apron
enveloping her substantial figure down
to the place where coach left daily
for the city, 60 miles distant.
The coach was upon the point of
leaving. and although Mary was not
there her luggage was. The irate pa
rent took her seat. expecting that the
girl would join the coach en- route. AS
a matter of fact this had been the
original plan, and Mary had gone to
a relatives house at the opposite end
Of the town to wait for the coach.
Her brother, however, who was in
league with her, gave the driver the
hint, saw his mother fairly started on
her wild-goose chase, and then re-

cradle of the human race. and which
are still inhabited by the very lowest

round about him. 1t has Deen COM
