Too Much Water.

Howard S. Jaffray, the veteran pigeon
shot and yachtsman. a most accomplished
sportsman both afield and afloat, has just
returned from a successful fishing trip in
Maine. He is very enthusiastic over the
great luck he had. and his report Of the
abundance of fish this season is certainly
very wonderful. Now this as no exag-
geration, gentlemen" he said. 'While I
didn't see 1t myself, I was told that near
Braggville, in Penobscot county, the trout
were so plentiful that trenches actually
had 10 be cut to divert the water OF the

The Happiest Heart.

Who drives the horses OF the sun
Shall lord IL but a day;
Better the lowly deed were done,
And kept the humble way.
The rust viii find the sword of fame
The dust viii hide the crown;
All. none shall hang so high his name
Time win not tear il down.
The happiest heart that ever beat
Was in some quiet breast
That found the common daylight sweet
And left TO heaven the rest.

Truth and Repose.

4 self denial no less austere than the
saints is demanded of the scholar. He
must worship truth and forego all
things for that and choose defeat and
pain so that his treasure in thought is
thereby augmented. God offers to ev-
cry mind its choice between truth and
repose. Take which you please-you
can never have both.
Between these as pendulum man
oscillates. He in whom the love of re-
pose predominates will accept the first
creed, the first philosophy, he meets,
most likely his fathers. He gets rest,
commodity and reputation, but he
shuts the door of truth. He in whom
the love of truth predsminates will
keep himself aloof from all mornings
and afloat.
He will abstain from dogmatism and
recognize all the opposite negations be.

ence Of suspense and imperfect opin-
ions, but he is candidate for truth as
the other is not and respects the high.

AMoY's GRAvEYARDs.

The City and the Cemeteries Are
Hopslessly Intermingled.
The city of Annoy is on on island Of
the same name. For upward Of 1000
years it has been IN important trading
place. The population Of the island
Is estimated at over 1000. and it has
been said that there are something like
5000, 900 dead bodies packed in it's soil.
For many centuries the hillsides Of the
city have been used as burying
ground. Now the city and the GENE
terry are hopelessly mixed. The graves
touch one another at every point and
form solid white surface Of rock,
brick, porcelain and cement, covering
more than 1000, OC0 square feet. Near
one of the josshouses 1000 bodies are
buried vertically to save space. They
stand on a plot of ground Of as many
feet square.
The wells from which the city draws
its water supply are shallow and are
sunk on the edge OF graveyards and
even among the tombs themselves.
The water. is muddy and is colored by
the perpetual turning up Of the soil
It has no sewers, and the streets vary
from two feet to six feet in width.

This layer of material probably has
Its chief function, in common with the

1t is interesting to observe that the
exit Of this layer Of wax is accom-
plished by nature chiefly with the aid
Of the motion communicated to the
ear canal by the movement Of the jaw
in chewing and talking, a; motion read
lily felt by touching the orifice with
the finger tip during these processes.
The constant increase Of the secretion
Is therefore provided with a CORE
spending loss, which takes place almost
as impercepdbly as the constant loss
of the superficial layer Of the skin from
the surface Of the body.
This explanation serves to make
clear why the use Of ear spoons, pins
or hairpins is unnecessary. The use
Of such objects is not only superflu.

very condition which those who use
them would prevent.
Even too vigorous washing with a

may result in pushing the wax back
into the canal until mass sufficient

The first intimation Of the presence
OF impacted wax Is often the sudden
occurrence Of considerable degree of
deafness. This is most likely to hap
pen on damp day or just after or dur.
ing bath. A slight amount of mois-
ture causes the mass to swell SO that

between the mass and the canal is

mass may shrink and the hearing pow

KISSING THE HAND.

The Practice Was InstituteA By tho
Early Roman RaleEs.
The practice Of kissing the hands
was instituted by the early Roman
rulers as MARI Of subsection as much
~ one Of respect, and under the first
Cesar the custom was kept up. but
only for time.
These WORTHLESS conceived the idea
that the proper homage due to their
exalted station called for less familiar
modes Of obeisance, SO the privilege
Of kissing the emperor's hand was re-
served as special mark Of condescen-
sion or distinction for officers of high
rank.
No such restriction, however, was
placed on the emperors themselves,
who, IL they wished to confer signal
honor on any of their subjects, kissed
either the mouths or the eyes of those
they wished specially to favor, the kiss
generally intimating some promotion
or personal satisfaction for some
achievement.
Roman fathers considered the prac-
dce of kissing Of SO delicate q nature
that they never kissed their wives in.
the presence Of their daughters.
Then, too, only the nearest relatives
were allowed to kiss their kindred Of
the gentler sex on the mouth, for In
those days, as now, kissing was not a
mere arbitrary sign, but it was the
spontaneous language Of the affections,
especially that of love.
Under the Romans If lover kissed
his betrothed before marriage she In
herited half Of his worldly goods in the
event Of his death before the-marriage
ceremony, and if she died her heritage
descended to her nearest relatives.
