The proposition of Mrs. Amelia Hol.;

ans League that children should be-
taught not to scream off tn. key, but
that mothers should carry a tuning
fork and give Ihem the proper note,
or if there are several OF Them, they

Gus propc sition. =
Eve know little Of the laws Ind
properties of sound and what might
be done with Giscordants and unrelat-
ed noises" says Mr. IItchings, who
makes acoustic apparatus :or instruc-
ton in physics. Take 4 tuning fork
of large size and set it vibrating, and
one in tie same key across the room
will,.so give out the same s1lnd. The
disagreeable noises of c;ty-the roar

might in time bring it about. There
is considerable waste energy in noise
that might be utilized. For example, it
would be possible to arrange the COM
bination of a safe lock so as TO open
it by singing a certain melody. The
notes would set corresponding metals
vibrating; these would communicate
with electric power which. in turn'
would move the tumhrils OF the lock
and the bolts would, turn back.
"a set of whistles on board ship
might be; arranged to stand for the
different points OF the compass. In
fog the whistle corresponding to the
direction in which! the vessel was sail
ing would be blown. On board other
ships there would be a set of reverber-
ators indicating in. the same way the
points of the compass. By running over
these the one in harmony with the
whistle would be. picked out, and at
once inform the, second vessel the d.
rection Of the first and so a collision
would be avoided. A warship might
communicate with its coIsorts and
the enemy be unable to read the sig
nals."- Chicago Tribune

One Of the largest and most noticeable
business signs seen anywhere is that OF the
National Casket Co. on their mammoth new
factory at Nashville, Tenn, made on wire
frame with aluminium letters six feet high
and one hundred fee. long, which can be
read from long distance by day, and
when reproduced in tl,ctric lights, can be
read even further at night. This is the con-
Germ that is called on 10 furnish Caskets for
the most prominent people everywhere, in
cluding among its recent orders. Caskets
for Presidents William Mckinley, Benjamin
Harrison and the late lamented Gen. John
B. Gordon, and yet whose goods can be had
through the smallest undertaken IN every
town. From the fact that they are ealled
on to furnish Caskets for the-be citizens
everywhere, there must be some merit IN
their claim that their goods are the best,
and the South should be proud to have q
branch of such q high class establishment
within her borders.

Pet Bear Joined in the Ceremony.

Bruinski. the pet bear Of the Colum-
bias jackies, was not sent to The
ZOO" because he tried to eat the cap
tain's dog. says an officer Of the ship,
but because he turned a solemn cere-
mony into a farce. Every day after
dinner, Bruinski and his particular
friends indulged in a nap. Bruinski
stretched himself out on the deck, and
his chums spread themselves around
him, using him as pillow. Just after
Captain Wilde came to take command
of the yard he sent word that he was
going to visit the ship at a, certain
hour. ~E
The men were mustered as quickly
as possible, to receive him with all the
honors Bruinskis friends with the
others responded to the bo's'n's call,
but Bruinski .slumbered on. until after
the men were all lined up on deck.
Then he reused, and, missing his
friends. went to seek them. He mount
ed to the deck where the men were
lined up and, erect fon his hind feet,
passed slowly down the long line until
he came to the group Of his associa tes.
Thenhe turned, and, backing slowly.
wedged himself into the line. His SOL
emn visage and rendulous paws were
too much for the commandant as we'll
as the other officers. The ceremony
was cut short and Bruinski hustled be-
low. The captain of the ship thought
the presence of the bear could be dis
pensed with after that, and he was
given permanent shore leave.-P.l'!a-

THE MODERN GENTLEMAN;
He is, After All, Not Modern, Eut Has
ALWAYS Existed.

He is, After All, Not Modern, Eut Has
Always Existed.
In some Of our earliest immigration
re"ords the more favored arrivals
were designated as gentlemen" For
instance, one cargo OF cOloniSts COM
prised a score Of ''gentlemen' ana
several hundred laboring men and
handicraftSmen. 1t is true that his
torians have added descriptive word
to the selected class and called them
gentlemen adventurers,' but the
idea of superiority still endures; and
in this age of genealogical research
familiar tragedy is the experience OF
a proud son or naughty dame gong
back through the centuries and strlk-
inc as lineal ancestor plain handl-
craftsman instead Of duly authentl-
Gated gentleman" There is no cover
for that kind Of disappointment e1-
cept a coat Of srmS-which need not
be historical if it be safe.
In these days the designation OF
gentleman" is formally used in Great
Britain, but in America there has
been a gradual disappearance of its
ancient employment. The other day
the scion of family that had won
wealth and kept it was on the witness
stand. He gave his occupation as
gentleman" 1t was understood, OF
course. but the attorney for the other
side was no respecter of terms or of
persons. He asked bluntly what the
witness meant by gentleman There
was an awkward quarter Of an hour
and in the end the witness, by that
time red with discontinue. declared
that a gentleman was person or
education who did not have to work
for living.
Nothing kills so swiftly as ridicule
or absurdity. This accounts for the
gradual elimination of -"gentleman'
as a definition for directories or off,
cial certificates. And-shall we call
it the sarcasm of fate?-the word that
takes the place of gentleman" in
these practical but unromantic chron-
icles is capitalist"
But While we smile let US remember
that we have not removed the gentle
man from our social category. Rather
have we given 70 the word better
significance. We can even surmise
that there were more real gentlemen
among the hanGi craftsmen than
among the favored twenty who alone
bore the appellaticn. Certainly history
has shown who became the freemen
and who did the great work Of liberty
and nation building.
After all. there is really no new
idea Of the gentleman. 1t is as an
cient as the hills. Though all the
honors of thy line bedeck thy halls,
believe me. virtue alone is true no.
bility." said old Juvenal. "Oh, give

GROVER CLEVELAND.
TO MINIMIZE FOREST FIRES.
New Devices For Suppression Of Smoke
and Spark Nuisance.

Among the numerous causes OF for
est fires probably the most prolific
means Of all is the shower of sparks
which are thrown high in the air from
locomotives. Various remedies for this
danger have been suggested. Legal
pressure has brought into the field nu-
merous spark-arresters, notably in the
Adirondacks; but great damage was
done before these were finally put
into anything like general use. An
other arrester has recently been sug-
gested, which is now in use on some OF
the Western railroads, although for
different purpose. This device is SIM
ple in construction, inexpensive and
adaptable to any style of locomotive.
It consists chiefly Of a specially con-
structed hood, which is extended above
the top of the stack, at the height OF
about two feet, and 7interfcres but lit
tie, if at all, with the draught. Its
motive consists solely in DETECTING the
SHARKS downward, so that they fall
harmlessly on the roadbed. Even in
case of high wind the cinders are so
effectually DETECTED downward that

NV Mothers Song.

I've listened to the carols sweet,
of feathered songsters gay:
I've heard the field lark's song of
praise at early break of day;
The minstrel's lay has charmed
my ear, and caused tear to fall
But the song my mother used to
sing was sweetest of them all.
From out the dim and distant
past / hear its tender strain,
And memory fingers round the
spot to catch the sweet refrain.
When tired of all the songs !
know, what pleasure it would
bring
To hear again the dear old song
my mother used TO sing.
Twas mothers love that made
the song so tender, sweet and
low,
As with a tireless, gentle hand,
che rocked me to and fro,
Or took me in her arms and laid
my head upon her breast,
And sang me that lullaby, so full
of peace and rest.
When weary of the cares of life,
often long to be
Once more the thoughtless, happy
child, beside dear mothers
knee;
To feel her hand upon my head
and hear her whispered prayer
And feel again that sense of rest
in mothers loving care.
And as ! sit alone tonight my
thoughts are of the past,
OF happy DAYS that meier return
of Joys that cannot last;
And to this lonely heart of mine
what pleasure would il brinl
To hear again the little song my
mother used to sing.

has n remarkable record. 1t has
been in use for over thirty years,
during which time many million
bottles have been sold and used.
1t has long been the standard and
main reliance in the treatment of
Group in thousands of homes, yet
during all this time no case has
ever been reported to the
manufacturers in which it failed
to effect cure. When given as
soon as the child becomes hoarse
or even as soon as the croupy
cough appears, it will prevent the
attack. 1t is pleasant to take,
many children like it. 1t contains
no opium or other harmful sub
stance and may be given as con-
fldently to baby as to an adult.

A Young Mans Best Asset.

Character is above everything
else the most important factor in
achieving success
The young man should guard it
as the most precious asset he can
possibly possess with which to
commence, as well as to finish,
his career.
Great brains with little
character do not count for much
IN the long run in competition
with moderate brains and high
character
Absolute loyalty to his employer
and the constant manifestation of
a desire to do the best he knows
how to advance the work or
interests intrusted to him are
essential.
This is an almost certain road
to advancement for himself, for
employers are always on the look
out for young men of character
and fidelity to duty III their en-
ploy, with view to their pro-
motion
A young man should be salts
fled to fiji the niche he occupies
until he raises himself to a higher
one, and not try to appear to fill
another than that in which he is
actually placed.
No end of men wreck thelr
careers by endeavorlng to lead a
life which is a lie. They would
wish to be considered richer or
more important in the world than
they really are, and this leads to
their downfall.
A young man should be salts
fed to fill the niche of his life, to
act and he what he is, and not
pretend to be somebody else,
whom he knows very well he is
not.
He should be careful ia the
selection of his companionship
and friends. Men are Judged
largely by the company they keep.
The maxim that birds Of a
feather flock together is as true
today as it ever was Edinburgh
Scotsman,
