Noise and kearinq.

There are two distinct meanings to the word "sound"-one the sensation produced in the brain, the other the external vibration which produces the sensation. Tie physical cause. may ex- ist where there is no ear; the sensation cannot exist unless there is an ear to hear it. Suppose two men-one totally deaf, the other with a normal sense of hearing-are in the same closed room in which third man beats upon piece of iron with hammer. Is there no physical vibration because the deaf man cannot hear it? The sensation may be ear splitting to the one and to- tally nonexistent to the other. The same vibrations beat through the air. The same sound exists in the room, but the sensation exists for only one of the men.-Philadelphia Press.

AN EVENING AT THE SAVILE
 CLUB.
(Brander Matthews, in Scribner's
 MagaZine.)

(Brander Matthews, in Scribner's
 MagaZine.)
 Out of the flotsam and jetsad which the dark tides of Time deposit on the shallow shores of Memory, clutch at the vision of goodly com pany gathered in the private dining room of the Savile when Gosse invit- ed a group of his friends to do honor to Howells. Of ONT fellow guests I can recall with certainty only Thomas Woolner, the sculptorrpoet, Austin Oobson, George Du Maurier, Thomas Hardy and William Black. And I can rescue only two f1eeting fragments of the talk. The first was a discussion of revenge as a motive in fiction--a discussion which resulted in a general up nights on purpose to hate other men, the noVelists have been forced to discard that murderous desire to get even which had been a handspring of romance in less sophiticated cen- turies.
 Over the second topic there could be no general agreement, since it was a definition of the image called up in our several minds by the word forest" Until that evening I had never thought of forest as clothing it. self in different colors and taking on different forms in the eyes of different men; but I then discovered that even

TO THE WHITE HOUSE
 BY GOVERNORS ROAD

It will not escape the attention of aspiring politicians that the two fore most candidates of the recent election had been governors of states, and that a number of our recent presi- same path. If any man thinks he has presidential timber in him, he evidently will try to attain his ambi- ton by this means.
 The governorship of state offers far more chance to a man of first class ability than any other political .Iposition. A United States senator ! ship is comm only considered a higher office. But the United States Senate has never been a stepping stone to the White House.
 In a state governorship the execu- tive has great opportunities to display personal leadership. He is or ought to be for the, time being the biggest man of the group about him. If he has sensible, constructive, ideas, his position gives him great opportunities. He can initiate reforms, systematize business. remove wastes, inaugurate measures of social betterment. The news of these things spreads beyond state limits. The politicians from far and near keep their eye on him. He is called on for addresses over q wide territory, and soon acquires {, national reputation.
 The member of Congress on the other ha6d, is tied down by the tra- ditions of an unwieldy body. He finds men of equal ability, great ex- perience, and wider influence who have opposite convictions. He finds himself held down by the red tape of committees, and the pressure of a vast system of conflicting interests. It may be years before he gets any chance to make himself heard.
 There are many disappointments though in the path of ambitious gov ernors. Commonly they have to come from a state regarded as doubt full before they are considered presi- dential possibilities. And many rep- utations that look big inside of state limits begin to dwarf and fade the moment they are offered before a wider audience.

Justice Brandeis 60 Today

Justice Louis Dembitz Brandeis of the United States Supreme Court will receive the congrat uAations of his colS leagues to-day, this being the sixtieth birthday of the former attorney for the people," who was appointed a member of the republics highest trib- unal by President Wilson early this year. Judge Brandeis is the first Jew to serve on the American Supreme bench, and his nomination, coming not long after the elevation of the Jewish Lord Reading to the post of Lord Chief Justice of England, af- forded another indication of the pass ing of the age-old prejudice against Hebrews. The naming of MT. Bran deis for the, place left vacant by the late Justice Lamar came as a distinct surprise, but, although it aroused op- position in some quarters because of the Hebrew lawyers radicalism, the masses of the people approved.
 Justice Brandeis was born in Louis vile on Nov. 13, 1856. He was edu- cated in private and public schools in, the Kentucky metropolis, and, from all accounts, was just a normal, happy American "kid," up to all sorts of innocent pranks, and rather inclined
 
 young Hebrew didn't hunt trouble, but he never doged it, and he was engaged in numerous scraps" His especial detestation was the little Lord Fauntleroy'' style of boy, and he began his assaults on special privilege by attacking everyone of these affect
 ed and superior sons of Louisville nabobs whenever they appeared in sight. At the age of 16 Louis was sent to Germany to study at the An nen Realschule in Dresden. He re-. mained there two years, ard then re- turned to America and took the law course at Harvard, receiving his LL. B. in 1877. After practicing two or three years in St. Louis he transferred his legal activities to Boston, and was one of the leading barristers of that city up to his appointment to the Su- preme Court. Early in his, career he made a compact with his wife that, when they had saved enough money to enable them to live comfortably, he should give his services free of charge to causes that seemed likely to advance the welfare of humanity. That compact was fully lived up to, and, in consequence, he gained an in- ternational reputation as the lawyer for the people, Cheaper gas for Bostonians, shorter working/hours for women. lower freight rates for ship pers, and dozens of other popular causes have enlisted his aid.

the most innocent word may dons strange disguises. To Hary forest suggested the sturdy oaks to be as- sau1ted by the woodlanders of Wes- sex; and to Du Maurier it evoked the :, trim and tidy avenues of the national
 domain of France. To Black thel word naturally brought to mind theI low scrub of the soicalled deer foresta of Scotland; and to Gosse it summons, ed up a view of the green clad moun<i tains that lowered up from the Scan- dinavian fjords. To Howells forest recalled the thick woods that in his youth fringed the rivers of Ohio; and to me there came back swiftly the, memory of the wild growth, bristlina up unrestrained by man, in the Chips pewa Reservation which had crossed IA years before in my canoe trip from Lake Superior to the Mississippi.

A Sea fuonstery Hoax,

What proved for time to be the most successful sea monster hoax on record was perpetrated in New York by Dr. Albert c. Koch in 1S45. He exhibited on Broadway the skeleton of an alleged fossil monster which he named the ''hydrarchos, or "sea king" The remains. including the head and vertebrae, measured not less than 114 feet over all. and the people of New York. as well as of other Ameri- can cities visited. were greatly excited But finally Professor Wyman, natur- alist of considerable circumspection, examined the skeleton and discovered it to be a composite, including the bones of several zeuglodons strung to- gether. Finally it was sold by Koch to the museum of Dresden.-Albany Knickerbocker Press.

"Decadent Nobility"

Much was written in the years pre- ceding the war of the "decadent mo- biNty'' of France, and the scions of the >old aristocracy were often des- cribed in terms far from flattering. The war has placed these titled F'renchmen in different light, for all most to a man they have rallied to the tricolor of "la republique," and there is to-day scarcely a family of the French aristocracy that is not mourning the death of at least one of it's members. Some of the old blue blooded families have been almost wiped out, so far as their male mem bers are concerned. In time of peace republican France distrusted these nobles, for, while some of them ac- cepted the democratic regime, and even enthusiastically supported it, the majority retained their allegiance to the monarchy. or the empire, a and would gladly have aided in the over- throw of the republican government
 To-day rthe. nobleman who would "play politics" or conspire against the republic would be deemed traitor by his own class, and his execution for treason would be demanded by those of his own party. So long as the Invader retains foot of the soil of France. the patrician and the pro- letarian will fight shoulder to shou1- der, animated by a common desire to save '1a patrie.' The princes of the Bourbon and Bonapartist families have not been permitted to draw their swords for France, although even in this case it was not because of any popular distrust that their proffered services were refused, but only be- cause the laws of the. French repub- lie exclude from the French army and navy all the scions of the royal ist and imperialist families. which formerly ruled the country.

Tonuues of the Felines.

All members of the cat family pos sess tongues that are more or less rough, due to points of tough cartilage which cover them In ordinary house cats this roughness is very slight, but in the larger feline species the points are sometimes fully an eighth of an inch long. Ordinarily the tongue is soft and smooth, but when the animal becomes aroused the points become rigid, making it very dangerous weapon.
