tween two French chauffeurs. 1T was
very neat. 1t reminded me of a grocer

This grocer went to the jewelers.
one day to get new crystal put in his
watch. The jeweler, as he fitted and
cleaned the crystal, suddenly flushed.
He bit his lip and frowned. His hand
trembled so that he could hardly 20
on with his task.
Finally, handing the watch to the
grocer, the jeweler said in a restrained
voice:
Beg pardon: but didn't just see
you put couple Of rings and scarf

Sure you did, said the grocer bold
ly. When you come in my place, aren't
you always putting things in your

MENTAL REACTION.
The Minds Quicknens OF Operstfol
and How IL IL Measured.


The Minds QuicLness OF Operation
and How IL II Measured.
Let a dozen or twenty persons take
hold OF hands in ring. Each is to
press the handsof his right hand neigh
Dor as soon as he receives a pressure
from the left. One person starts the
pressure going and at the same instant
observes the position Of the second
hand of a watch. The pressure passes
all around the circle, and when 1t ar
rives at the originator he notes how
many seconCs werr required for the
given number Of persons IN succession
to fvrcive rn impression and make up
their minds to act in response. The
total time Is then divided by the num-
Der Of persons. This Is a crude illus
tration OF the reaction time which we
measure with great accuracy on single
persons.
AS the mental portion Of the reaction
time becomes more complicated the
time becomes longer. For example,
the processes OF mental discrimination
and choice require times OF their own.
The way we get these higher mental
processes can be illustrated in n sim
pie way. A person placed In a quiet
room Is to tap a telegraph key every
time he sees a red light. which can be
produced at the will OF the experi-
menter in the recording room. The in
terval of time between the actual ap-
pearance Of the light and the moment
the key is tapped is accurately meas
ured. For awhile nothing but the red
light Is used, this TO obtain the simple
reaction time. Then red and yellow
lights are turned ON in irregular sue
cession. The person has now TO dis
criminate between two colors and TO
choose between action and nonaction.
The increase OF time required over the
simple reaction time gives the dis
criminatlon time for two colors. In an
other set OF experiments three colors are
used, then four colors. AS the discrim-
nation and choice become more com
plicated more time Is required.
The importance of rapid and accurate
reaction and discrimination is evident.

NeighborIy Sympathy.


A pretty, touching story IS told
of the lamented Henry Grady,
Georgia's great journalist and
orator. At one time he and his
wife were stopping in New York
with view of locating in that city.
One day a tiny coffin was taken
from a dwelling adjoining his
boarding house. He asked the
landlady the child's name, how
long it had been sick and where
the funeral would be, to all of
which she answered: I'm sure I
don't know. It's no funeral of
mine" Grady turned to his wife
and said: Let's go back to Geor-
gia. do not wish to live in any
place where your neighbours heart
can break because of the death of
a child, and you are too engrossed
in your own affairs to go and ten
derby make them feel the sweetness
and helpfulness of human sympa-
thy. Down south the funeral of
neighbor S family is our own COM
mon sorrow aud no business

service as makes us feel that we
are neighbors indeed and in truth.
Let us go back home where human
sympathy helps us to bear our trou-
BILE, and where sorrow and JOY are
felt as if they belonged to us as
we'll as to them.

The Day of Canned Music. :"

With the horror of the Puritan
who objected to the Introduction
of the church organ because it
means worship by machinery,
Mr.. John Philip Sousa protests in
Appleton's magazine for September
against the present vogue of musi
cal automatics. Heretofore, he
says, the whole course of music
has been along the line of making
it the expression of soul states; in
other words, of pouring into it
soul" Now it is canned" and
corrupting the taste of the nation.
The National throat is uneXercised,
the National chest is shrunken, the
National amateur technic is vanish
ing to the seductive strains of the
moral infringements' upon the
rights OF great composers. 1t IS a
sort of musical stockyards scandal.
Some of Mr.. Sousa's structures
are quite warranted, although he
admits that in exceptional cir
cumstances the best of these
machines supply a certain amount
of pleasure. We think, however,
that one prediction he makes of
the musical cataclysm that is sure
to come will by some be received
with astonishing fortitude:
The country band, with its
energetic renditions. its loyal
by local merchants, its
benefit concerts, band wagon, gay
State tournaments, and
the attendant pride and gayety, is
apparently doomed to vanish in
the general assault on personality
in music. Exchange

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There IS only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inAamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam-
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inAamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
