Made the Deaf Hear

J "A dispatch from Nashville, Tenn.
says that that city is in the midst
Of an excitement over the work Of
Cooper and his new preparations,
that is beyond anything that it has
experienced in recent years.
|, According to reports Cooper ar
rived in Nashville several weeks
ago and began demonstrations with
) his medicines. In short time he
, announced his intention to publicly
demonstrate what they would do
: for deafness. "a - N
. Newspapers were printing stories
daily Of the wonderful results that
were being accomplished for vic
! Tins of Stomach trouble, Kidney
trouble, Rheumatism and Catarrh,
and interest was its height. In con-
sequence, at the appointed time a
|, great throng awaited the appear
ance Of the young man at the drug
store where he was making his
: headquarters. About three o'clock
. in the afternoon Cooper appeared on
the scene and invited all those af-
8 ficted with deafness to step for
ward. Picking oout an elderly gen
tleman carrying an ear trumpet,
3 Cooper questioned him and elected
!, the informationy, that the man had
been unable to hear without the aid

Z He then poured q peculiar prepare

Q them softly with his hands. After

ed likewise with the same result.
With one or two exceptions all de-
clared that they could hear ~ well
as they ever could.
The newspapers have since been
full Of the reports Of the work and
Cooper seems to have become the
talk Of the town.
The names Of several prominent
persons have appeared as having
been greatly benefited by his medi-
cines.
Mr.. 8. "a. Paine, a weu-known
bank clerk, living at Ala Ash street,
being among those whose names
were mentioned, was seen and asked
about his experience with Cooper's
preparations. 1T is indeed true,'
he said, "that I have obtained re-
markable results from the use Of
the medicines. I had been deaf in
my left ear for some time and when
I heard of the wonderful work that
was being accomplished by the rem
edies, I made up my mind to give
them trial. Accordingly, secured
a small quantity and began the
treatment as directed. I noticed
slight improvement almost immedi-
ately. A few days after, when using
the telephone I absently put the re-
ceiver to my left ear and was sur.
prised to find that I could hear dis
tinctly. I improved steadily ever
since and have experienced no fur
ther trouble. =
Inquiry at Voegeli Bros. Drug
Store, the local agency for Cooper e
medicines, brought forth the in
formation that the remedies are in
great demand in Minneapolis, and
that some remarkable cases have
been reported right here at home.

"A great difficulty with American
goods In China comes from the fact
that Chinaman cannot understand
that a can. on which Is g label with
flowers, could contain vegetables or
meats. Then our tools are not as theirs.
A Chinaman uses an ak or hammer by
main strength, never swinging either.
The handles should be made with that
end IN view. This popularity OF the
people should be regarded in all we
make TO sell to them.
I'm the matter of labor saving ma
chinery we have to contend with their
hostility to all such. We had a ship
ment of rice-cleanins or winnowing
machines, one OF which would clean
more rice than twenty natives could
by the old method, and they tried to
throw them all overheard, II we
would first learn their needs and then
honestly supply them, We should hear
no more OF boycotts,

turies before we knew OF them. Such
a people can be led to use our modern

said to have kindled the nre TO burn up
rubbish. and that an effort would be maze
to make him tell the names or the patrons
Of his place who trampled on the little
victim.
The Bernstein children. according to
their father, have been unpopular with
the other children of the neighborhood
because of their nationality. and they
have frequently been beaten and hit with
stones.

just in from Japan Via Honolulu and
San Francisco, and speak Of their i'm
perial commission as follows:
THE matter of railroad construction
ts one OF the deepest interest to our
people. and now that the Imperial Gov
ernment has taken over many OF the
prlYatel y-owned roads, and has built.
and Is building, scores OF miles of new
road II became important that we
should know of ways and means for
conducting them on a paying basis.
With this end In view. my companion
and myself are commissioned by the
Imperial Government to visit the
United States and Canada, England,
France, Germany. Russia and all Of
Continental Europe where railroading
In any Of its thousand phases may be
studied.
Our roads are all what you call
narrow-gauge, and 1t will be a chief
point OF our Inquiry to contrast rela-
tive costs in broad and narrow-gauge
traffic
you Will get some idea of our roads
when I tell you we arc operating In
all 1900 miles OF road, costing soc, ,000,-
600 yen, and earning, last year. 90, 600
600 yen, yielding a profit of AZ, ,000. 900
yen. Our charges are about IL cents
per mile. We have 2600 locomotives and
$1,000 cars and coaches of all descrip-
tioDs.
But all Of this may be said to be
only beginning Of what the Govern
ment means to do in the next fve
years. We shall make an exhaustive
inquiry into all we can find, and re-
turn in ten months to give form to our
trip.
MT. Kasuga will look Into the fnan-
cial end OF all matters touching rail-
road work, and recommend all such
as shall be for our good In an espe-
cial manner will he examine accounts
as they are kept by the Americans, be-
lieving you have the best system In
the world. or course, our trip Is only
now begun. but when we pass through,
returning, we hope TO give you the re-
suits OF our work
our people are fast forgetting that
we had a war and every energy Of our
Nation is being turned to the placing

Value OF a Lightning Flash.

An ingenious Belgian engineer hos
been figuring out how much the electric
energy of an ordinary lightning dis
charge would cost to produce by means
Of an electric light plant. His meth
DDS and conclusions are as follows: by
measuring the magnetism Of certain
iron-bearing rocks It has been found
that the magnetiztng lightning dis
charge must have been at least G000
emperes. In reality the intensity must
have been much greater, since the rock
was at considerable distance from Il
striking point OF the lightning. 1t ie
best, however, TO be moderate In such
estimates. and we may Ak the energy
at the modest flgure Of Pitt kilowatt
hours. Putting in the klowatt at he
lowest price at which 1t has been pos
sible to produce 1t in practice under
good conditions-that Is to say, by
hydraulic power-it would cost one-fifth
of cent, go that the price Of the whole
would be s6S" At Brussels, where the
Inventor lives. the industrial kilowatt
brings from the consumer 10 cents. At
this rate a lightning stroke would cost
s2777. Thunder would be dearer still
In other cities at this rate. 81

Canadian Girl to Marry Her
Lover Outside Three-MiIe
Limit.

NEW YORK, July dan Cupid

the foot of Harrison street, Brooklyn,
and sets sail for the Island Of Trlni
dad. On board Will be Miss Allie Wyte,
comely miss Of Ottawa, Canada, Sho
is going to join her lover and be mar
ried before the ship reaches It's des
tlnation.
Miss Wyte's former schoolmate and
present sweetheart left Ottawa a year
ago to become superintendent Of an
electric lighting plant In Trinidad. He
wrote TO her some time ago telling her
that he was anxious to marry, but that
the prospects were that he couldn't get
away from the Island for long time.
The young woman sent a letter back
saying she would come TO the island
and marry him there.
Six Months Residence Required
A letter from the young man cast
planned that the colonial laws required
a six months residence before a per-
son would be allowed to marry.
There was an exchange OF more let
ters and a cheering one finally arrived
from the impatient young man. IT told
tnat ne had round way out or the
difficulty. Miss Wyte was to make the
trip; he would meet the ship outside
the three-mile limit and-colonial laws
be blamed-they would be married.
Miss Wyte then wrote to Clement
King, the agent for a Canadian whisky
house in this city, and he booked her
passage on the Maraval. She has ar
rived here and Is stopping with friends
In Brooklyn. She hasn't brought a
parson along with her and depends on
her hance getting one in Trinidad to
make the trip out to sea and beyond
the three-mile limit.
The jolly old skipper OF the Maravel
says that II all the sky pilots In Trini-
dad weaken and refuse to make the
trip there is nothing TO prevent the
wedding II the bridegroom doesn't lose
his nerve. The captain says that mar
rying couples is one of the privileges
enjoyed by shippers on the high seas.
