Gunners' Deafness.

A British->writer quoted by the
Array and Navy Journal, leclares
that sc per cent of the men in the
British navy are more or less deaf as
q result OF heavy air sht cks to which
their ears are subjected by firing OF
the big guns. Strange to say, how
ever. this disastrous effect on, the
ears. Is sometimes greatest In the
case of small guns. For instance. 1t
has been found that the gun crews
of the Dreadnoughts twelve-inch
guns suffer less from the ring" than
men handling three-pounders. This
is explained by the protection re-
,ulting from the barbette II which
the former 10 enclosed, and which 10

that the men operating the twelve
inch gun are about nine les as far
away from the muzzle as those OF

the worst effects of these gun dis

tween the teath so that the mouth

Fine City Lots.

Dr.. D. ]. Hydrick has opened up
a suburb which he very appropriately
has named Fairview. 1t is located
in the Northeastern portion of the
city, as shown in cut In ad. In
another column. The lots are about
5-S miles from the Cour' louise,
and about 10 minutes walk to the
business center. They are high,
overlooking the city and beautifully
situated in first class section. This
looks like a fine chance to build a
home, particularly SO wien you con-
slider that labor, lumber and other
material are cheaper now than they
have been in several years past. We
understand that these lots can be
bought on easy terms.

Maine Man Up on Tu,nips.

The lobby of the Saco court room
has it's usual number Of story tellers.
A venerable member Of the bar told
the following story recently: A
young lawyer of the village OF
Marshfeld once came to Daniel
Webster and asked him what he had
better study to build himself up In
his profession. "Turnip seed" was
the laconic reply. The disciple Of
blackstone followed mis- advice. He
studied up everything that bore upon
the SUI Jject of turnips, until he bo-
came master Of the principles of
thai vegetable. A year or two sf-
terward neighboring farmer origi-
mated new turnip, from the sale
Of whose seed he expected to make
fortune. Another neighbor began
tc raise and sell the same seed and
a lawsuit resulted. The originator
of the seed came to retain Webster
to prosecute the case. Webster re-
piled: Il am not as we'll booked up
on turnips as ought to be, but there
is a young fellow over at the village
who knows all about them. Go and
get him. He will win your case
The farmer posted off and engaged
him. When the trial came off the
lawyer, astonished the Judge, jury,
and audience, by his profounc learn
ing on the subject of turnips. The
case was triumphantly won, and the
young lawyer started or the road to
fame and frrtune.-Lewistou (Me.)

and the others insisted that it was
not. Finally the first sailor walked
over to Father Collins and asked his
opinion. Father Collins said that the
bird undoubtedly was a skylark. The
sailor went back to his companions,
elated over his triumph.
"Didn't tell you so?" he said "The
holy father says it's skylark"
