The Cause Of stammering.

"Stammering Is often more the re-
suit of habit than from any defect Of
the vocal organs" says Prof. B. L..
Payer, an authority upon the SUBJ
ject. 1T is generally, if not always,
caused by a spasm of the larynx, re-
sulting from nervous contraction of the
organs, thus refusing to permit prop
er flow of the air current producing
tone. People rarely or never stammer
when singing, for then the attention
is divided between words and music,
the nervousness is momentarily forgot
ten and the passage of the air current
through the larynX is continuous and
unobstructed. Stammering very often
is the result of imitation, sometimes in
territorial, sometimes unconscious, and
the affection is much more general than
might be supposed. In one COMPARE
lively small section of one city there
are thirty-five stammerers, and every
one of them is able to demonstrate to
his own satisfaction not only that he
does not stammer very badly, but that
some other person he knows stammers
a great deal worse than himself. Ev-
cry stammerer is intensely sensitive
about his infirmity, rarely fOrgives and
never does forget any allusion to 1T
which in his mind savors of ridicule."

Gals. The police are also busy running
down evidence against scores Of
wealthy and aristocratic men and wom-
en- occupying exalted stations in the
society of the German capital.
Officials who are in charge of these
Investigations talk very guardedly, but
they admit that they are Mortified by
their discoveries. 1t is now generally
conceded that Berlin is cursed with the
most decadent society of any city in the
world. Further exposures OF depravity
in high places are at hand, it is de-
clared, which will ast0und the whole
world. Thus the scandal increases and
it's ramiications threaten to involve
whole families whose names have hith-
erto been above reproach. To the proud
temperament of the Kaiser, whose char
acter throughout has remained unas-
sailed, these revelations are the bitter
est humiliation.

Back from the Dead.

"a recent invention of Prof. George
Poe, of South Norfolk, Va. has proved
beyond all cOntravention either of two
things: that, far as medical science has
advanced, it is unable to say when ami
NAL life is extinct, or that it is possible,
under some circumstances, to restore
life when the subject is dead" Which
ever may be the case, however, the
fact is not altered that the device men-
toned has brought animation to ami
mails which were undoubtedly in that
state described by science as death.
''As have so many of the great dis
cOveries of science, that of Prof. Poe
grew out of a more or less accidental
occurrence. In the year 1876 Prof. Poe
succeeded in resuscitating a rat, which
had been killed, by the simple process
of pumping oxygen into it's lungs. With
this success as 4 basis to work upon,
he was encouraged to continue inyesti-
cations and experiments along the same
line, and these have resulted in the
artificial respiratOr the success of
which is one of the marvels of the

Smelling steel bx Electricity.

The enormous quantity of iron ore
which is being scooped from the ranges
about Lake Superior, dug out of the
hills of Alabama and Tennessee and
hoisted from the deep pits of Pennsyl-
wanna, has caused the geologist and
mineralogist to make startling predic-
lions. Some Of them have gone so far
as to say that we are approaching an
era when iron may rank among the
rarer metals because Of it's scarcity.
Even James J. Hill, the railroad mag
nate and developer of the Northwest,
who was one of the first to realize the
vast deposits of ore in the Superior
ranges, has made the prophecy that
perhaps within a half century most Of
the richer ore beds will be exhausted
and that we may be obliged to go out

material for our smelters and fur

OUR HASTE IN BUILDING.
We Are Now Taking More Thought
of Stability and Permanence.

We Are Now Taking More Thought
of Stability and Permnnence.
To the European eye American
towns and villages have the appear
ance of temporary structures. Even in
New England, rich in stone, most build
ings, except in the crowded parts OF
large cities, are Of wood. Old and
much Travelled highways cross streams
over wooden bridges, which last but a
few years.
During the first three months of this
year the fire losses in the United
States and Canada amounted to 1884,
100000, 100000 more than for the
corresponding three months Of last
year. Every year cities on the inland
rivers sustain enormous losses from
floods, losses greater in the aggregate
than the cost of preventing by proper
embanllments and other means the
disastrous effects Of the floods. Every
where is evidence of a disposition on
the part of Americans to build for to-
day rather than for tomorrow.
The reason for this is that America
has not wholly outgrown the spirit Of
pioneer days, when shelter had to be
thrown together for the night. People
needed houses faster than they could
build them. There was not time to use
brick and stone. The habit Of hasty,
impermanent building is fastened upon
us; wooden houses of the flimsiest
kind rise and decay like mushrooms.
Permanence and stability come with
age. The American is taking more
time to think of the future, he is be-
ginning to build more solidly. One
sign Of this is the attempt to introduce
into many American cities architecture
al plans for streets and water fronts
which shall give order and direction to
growth for a thousand years. The
American imagination is gaining in
scope and steadiness.

Lesson from the Past.

Thomas Jefferson was writing the i'm
mortal Declaration of Independence, and
had just evolved the revolutionary, doc
trfne that all men are endowed with GER
tain inalienable rights, among which are
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness.''
"Of course" he reflected, 'there will
be about one week in the year when the
boy with the cannon cracker or the toy
pistol will be at liberty, in his pursuit
of happiness, to take anybody's life"
Smiling as he thought of the havoc
the automobiles would play with these
principles some day, he proceeded to sub
nit a few facts for the consideration of

American and Modern Art.

We are all familiar with the weary
plant of our artists that in America
we have no atmosphere. We are ac-
cused by the American student in the
Latin quarter of having a country with
out nuances, without half-tones or sub
tleties, light and shadow. We are
sneered at as not paintable. Perhaps
we are not, as Brittany is or Naples or
the harbor at Boulogne or ROthenburg
in a sunrise mist, but just what is real
Iy paintable is somewhat a matter Of
opinion-not wholly of French tradi-
ton.
Remington has found the western In
dams and their environment worthy of
a mastery brush; Borglum has discov-
cred subjects enough roaming over the
Western plains for a technique that
might seem good enough for French
rivers and Brittany meadows; Twicht-
man did not give UP painting because
New England was his abiding place
and lament the absence Of French at
mosphere in Connecticut.
He just stepped outdoors, walked
through his garden, looked down a
winding lane or out over the sound at
Cos Cob and painted and achieved mar
wells of atmospheric effects that few Of
the greatest of foreign landscapists
have ever excelled. He did not worry
because America was not paintable. II
he ever thought about it at all it must
have been with a quiet little smile Of
amusement.
And so what we need in order to
create a further national spirit in our
art is not a different country but diff
ferent, new, intelligent understanding
point of view toward our country as it
