ROMANCE OF THE COMMONPLACE.
The Romance of the Commonplace. BY
Gelett Burgess. $780, San Francisco.
Paul Elder and Morgan Shepard. 80
This is volume of modern philosophy,
which ranks in that class of essays made
famous by Jerome K Jerome. Mr.. Bur-
CESS says many clever things in his book,
and one may glance at any chapter and
discover many commonplace things writ
ten in a very uncommon manner. 1.-THE
desire to tell secrets writes the author,
rs one Of the most contagious of diseases.
and few of us are immune. Some vtgor-
Gus moral constitutions never succumb
but once an epidemic begins it is hard
work stopping it, and a secret on the ram
page is we'll nigh Irresistible. Tell your
secret, then, broadcast, and let it have its
way until it dies out. But above all never
confide it to her who asserts she never has
the slightest desire to tell, for there, like
a seed sown in fertile ground, it will ger
inmate and flower long after you have for
gotten it, aye, and bring forth fruit you
never planted
Again: "Flattery is, however, an edged
tool, and must be used with care. It is
not everyone who has the tact to decide at
a glance just how much his victim will
stand"
The author treats of art, science and
literature with such delicate, ironical
criticism, and withal, with SO much of
masterfuI art to render this Book of

It is understood to be the intention
Of the District Commissioners TO pro-

today or tomorrow.
Commissioner West. who has super
vision over the Police Department. has
given the subject much attention. and
is about ready to send forward a re-
vised draft Of the regulations to his
coI1eag CUES for their consideration
Mr.. West has received numerous let
ters Offering suggestions since the hear
ing last week. Some of these he has in
corporated in the revision Of the rules.
The Commissioners are agreed that
more stringent regulations for the opeT-
alton Of mechanical vehicles are needed.
and especially that some means must be
devised for the Identification Of the ear
rizges by policemen. AS vet no better
plan has been suggested than the num-
bering Of the vehicles to correspond
with the number Of the recorded license.
The suggestion to place the number on
the rear of the carriage to be Illuminated
by a small lamp at night meets with
favor. and viii probably be adopted

PAR TIAL DEAFNESS
FROM USE OF PHONE
Complaint Affecting Persons Who Ere
quent the Hello Receiver.

Does your left ear buzz Is your
hearing so affected that you cannot
hear your wife say it IS time TO go TO
church Does the knock OF the creditor
on the door go unheeded?
Then maybe you have been using the
telephone too much and have acquired
the telephone ear. 1t is q serious mat
ter sometimes. and then again II is con
venfent.
The telephone ear is acquired by those
who use the phone too much and is
more or less of a nuisance Telephones
have a habit of buzzing, singing, and
rafting in the ear, which causes PEG
pie 10 think they are going deaf When
the connections are bad or the wind is
blowing the discomfort is particularly
noticeable and after the receiver is re
placed the user feels for greater or
less time that he is deaf In that ear.
Constant use of the telephone accen-
tuates this feeling, and the ueafness is
increased.
The girls in the telephone exchange
say it is not true. and they do not ex-
perience any sense OF deafness from
hearing several thousand phones buzz
in their ears each day. but anyone who
has tried to get central in a hurry or
tried 10 explain matter OF Importance
10 the blonde operators, or brunette
either, viii disagree with the hello
artists and reach the conclusion that
some Of them have gone entirely deaf.
As matter of fact, there Is consid-
cradle discomfort caused by the recelv-
ers and it is becoming the custom
among business men and others who
suffer from the complaint 10 change the
receiver alternately from one ear to the
other This is said 10 bring relief and
to obviate the dead feeling in the ear
which has been so frequently noticed.
