Waqqinq the Ears.

You will rarely find that a man who
can wag his ears suffers from deafness.
The reason for this is very simple
Wagging ones ears exercises them
just as much as walking exercises the
muscles Of the legs A great deal of
deafness is caused by the muscles of
the ears becoming stiff and refusing to
respond quickly to the sound waves.
Quite a large proportion of children
can move their ears, just as they can
move the skin on their forehead up and
down. but as they grow up they lose
their power through want of practice.
1t is a mistake to let a child lose this
power. for it may mean the difference
between good and bad hearing in after
years. DR.. M. FerHet, the famous Par
is doctor, has even gone so far as to
suggest that people should be trained
to wag their ears, just as they are
trained to exercise any other muscles
of the body.-San Francisco Chronicle.

GOVERNOR PHILIP showed his
hand so plainly in his veto of the
anti-tipping bill that even the morst
thick-headed of his supporters can
readily see that it was done to help
the railroads in the dining cars and
in their Pullman sleepers. The gov
ernor's fear that it would restrict
personal liberty is the height of alb
surdity, and his assertion that it is
unconstitutional, he might better
have left to the decision of the SUI
preme court. 1t is getting so, in
hotels and restaurants of the larger
cities, one can not be served decently
until he pays a waiter as much as the
meal comes to.

Over Their Haads

Lady Southwark, in her Social and
Political "Reminiscences" relates this
experience of her father, the late Sir
Thomas Chambers, during an election
meeting in 1880, when Gladstone was
speaking for him in st. Pancras:
when my father arrived the crowd
outside the building was so dense that
it seemed physically impossible for him
to get in. An inspector, realizing this,
suggested that he should go over and
not through the crowd. This extraor-
binary idea was carried out. My father
was lifted up with a gentle shove and
propelled along on the heads of the
people on all tours. This, he said. was
not so difficult, as most wore bowler
hats. Willing hands assisted, and when
he reached the inside Of the door he
was gently lowered to the ground"

Smokelass Powder.

Ordinary powder produces smoke
when fired because of the quantity OF
fine particles formed from the break
ing up Of the saltpeter and from some
of the charcoal which is not completely
burned. To get rid of smoke, so long
handicap in the use of guns, it was
necessary to produce a substance THAI
would explode without leaving any
solid residue. This was accomplished
by the use of guncotton or nitrocellu-
lose, from which the most satisfactory
smokeiess powder is made. The sub
stance is a chemical compound, not
mixture like gunpowder, and is made
by treating cotton with a mixture OF
nitric and sulphuric acids. When ex-
ploded 1t is all converted into gases.
Burning is not necessary to cause an
explosion, a mere shock or jar being
sufficient. 1t is too violent an explosive
to use In small arms or in cannon, but
guncotton can be made into less force
full forms, suitable for use in guns, and
most brands of smokeless powder are
made In this way.-Boston Herald

Your Chance to
Make Money

1t is well known fact that the
greatest profits made on real estate
are those which have come from IN
yestments in BUSINESS PROP
ERTY.
Those who have had the ability to
see into the future far enough to de-
termine where business was sure to
concentrate are the ones who have
made the greatest profits on given
investment. The original investment
may have required more Nancy, but
the percentage of profit has been
larger. AS examples we cite Third
street in Wausau. Lots that few
years ago sold at merely nominal fig
ures have made independent those
who had the foresight to buy them.
The same is true of property on
North Sixth street and other places
where business places have been
erected.
Of this class of property there is
r.ry little left in Wausau. On most
of it, you will buy more or less on
guess, unless the property in itself
possesses those characteristics which
demonstrate that 1T MUST eventu-
ally be brought into use for business
purposes.

DEFINING a Gentleman.

The true gentleman is the man
whose conduct proceeds from good viii
and an acute sense of propriety and
whose self control is equal to all emer
gencies; who does not make the poor
man conscious of his poverty, the OBJ
scure man of his obscurity or any
man of his inferiority or deformity;
who is himself humbled If necessity
compels him to humble another; who
does not f1atter wealth, cringe before
power or boast of his own possessions
or achievements; who speaks with
frankness, but always with sincerity
and sympathy, and whose deed follows
his word who thinks of the rights and
feelings of others rather than of his
own; who appears well in any COM
pany and who is at home what he
seems to be abroad-a man with whom
honor is sacred and virtue safe.-Dr.
Wayland.
