In every we prolonged etrujrfrlei hftra Iw-en made against deafness; there har been tibial physicians, special instru ments arid stiecial remedies for the ear. The acoustic cornet of Dr. Larrey, in tended to be concealed in the hair; tl acoustic bell of Dr. Hard, acoustic tulx-a, dilating tubes, artificial ears of metal, silk and Kutta percha, audi phones, auri cular microphones, conches, artificial ryinpannrns, even acoustic fans for the use of ladies, hare had at divers times a ii'putution more or lens deserved. Fi nally, the announcement was made a ftw days ago that a new acoustic horn bad been found which not only enabled the deaf to hear, but which diminished and even conquered deafness. The apparatus is composed of a largo bell of enameled metal, united by a pitta percha tube, about fifty centime ters in length, to a little bone tube cov ered with gutta percha, which extends somewhat beyond it Tho tube is cov ered outHide by a light BtufI intended to arrest all foreign vibrations. The little tube penetrates into the auditory pas sage and touches the tympanum. Thanks to thin, not a sound, not ft breath is lost on the patient, and no matter how little beurinj? remnins to the subject he perceives sounds ami noises; that is to lay, vowels and consonants, and finally he even hears words. The sounds are clear, without buzzing, without resc- Dunce and with a remarkable intensity New York Telegram. One of Perry's Vels. An important relic of the war of 1311 has just been unearthod at Ferrysbnrg. It is the lower portion of the hull of the sloop Porcnpino, one of the nine maL Vessels built by Commodore Ferry ou Lake Erie, and with which he achieved his great victory over the British squad ron, known in American history am Terry's victory, Perry's nine vessels con nisting of the Lawrence, his flagship, of twenty guns; the Niagara, twenty guns the Caledonia, three guns; schooner Ariel, fonr; the Scorpion, two; the Sum mers, of two guns and two swivels; the loops Trip, Tigress and Porcupino, one gun each. The Porcnpino was taken to Detroit where, in 18U0, her upper works were re built und her name chongod to Carolina Eventually she was brought to Grand Haven and sailed by Captain Ilarry Mil ler. Iu the curly fifties she was set adrift in Grand river near the mouth. The curreut carried her out into Lake Michigan, but a west wind blew hef back in a day or two, and she was after ward refitted and sailed a season or two. Finally, about the year 185.1, she was al lowed to sink, head on, at Ferrysburg. Her remains will be taken from the water and properly cored for. Grand Bapius Democrat Looking for Battler. "The King Snake Story" is the head- i i i ..... ing unuer wnicn an AiaDama contempo rary prints the following: "We have been informed that about one month ago, in Morgan county, while a man and his wife were sittiug out on the veranda late in the afternoon, their attention was attracted by the appearance of large king snake on the steps a few feet avay. 1 hoy were perfectly quiet, and the snake crawled up the steps until it reached the top; then it held its head np, as much as to say, 'Can I come in?' They remained perfectly still, and the nake took it for granted that the silence gave consent, so it proceeded to enter the hall and crawled leisurely along until it reached a bedroom where the door stood ojien. It entered the door. making its way under the bed. "Here the king Bnnke pounced on large rattlesnake that had coiled iUelf around the bed springs. After a deadly struggle with this monster rattler the king snake went out in the yard and got some kind of weed to kill the poisonous bites. After taking the medicine the kiug snake returned to the house and continued thbattle until the rattlesnake was dead. It was five feet in length aud iiad nine rattles."" Opening of tlia IuU Season. hat ho, ye epicure of Irish birth! Listen to the gladsome tidings that the first crop of dulse for the season of 1SU1-3 has arrived and is awaiting your eager purchase. Fresh from the rocks of Ban dort'ii and all along tho Galwav nnd Sligo coast it comes. The dulse, or dillisk as the real Hi bernians call it, is unusually plentiful and or extra fine flavor this fall, and when stewed with plenty of milk an butter it will make a dish fit for a king. A quart of it looks like a choice assort ment of faded morocco leather scraps, bnt it is line tne proverbial singed cat, aud no one who knows its taste minds its looks. The stew or broth it makes is a general tonic for the system, and estie cially good for dyspepsia; but men from the"ould sod" say further that it en larges the heart, enriches the brogue and enliveus the feet of all who partake of it New lork Herald. An Improved Shirt. An idea as old as the hills is gaining recognition now, after having failed persistently. I speak of the idea of the "coat shirt." This is a garment which in most respects does not differ from the ordinary dress shirt. It has no claim to novelty in appearance when it is worn. The advantage is in the putting on, Tne garment does not go over the head, but is adjusted in tho Biuno way as an or dinary coat It is closed behind and en tirely open in front. It is being put upon the market this year, and its future looks brighter than ever before. In swelldom it is not unknown already, but it hss never gained wide popularity. New York World. We Prink a Good Deal of Coffee, ine unitea Mates ran its Mgn among the coffee drinking nations, being sur passed by Belgium and UoUp4 alone, The average consumption of coffee per inhabitant in this country lost year was eight and a quarter pounds, while that of tea was but one and two-tenths pounds. Coffee is the national beverage 1 of the United States. Chicago Tribuna, Km llartholdt. The late If me. Bartholdi was no ordi nary person, and on her ninetieth birth day she looked so full of life and beamed so with mental rigor and heartiness that I wonder she did not live to a hundred. She was left a widow early, and devoted herself to the education of her sons and the stewardship of their paternal prop erties, which under her management were increased to fortune. Though ao well endowed with the money making faculty, shewos a person of a generous disposition and given to hospitality. In youth she was reputed the hand somest girl in Alsace. As an old woman she was more than handsome. The pure outlines remained, nnd the fire of the kindest, quickest and most lambent pair of eyes imaginable was never quenched so long as life remained. The son must have had her in his head, as he remem bered her in her younger days, when he was sketching the design of the statue of "Liberty Enlightening the World.' t was her idea that Liberty should not be en pate de guimauve, but of a grave and severe aspect. Liberty was the bot't of all conditions, she used to say, for those who were severe npon themselves, and the worst for the self indulgent. One never saw a trace of self righteous harshness in the old lady. She was very indulgent toward the erring; but that grace, she said, came with the wide ex perience of old age. It was a source of enjoyment to her to drive to the Isle of Swans, in the Seine, and look at the re duced copy which was set up there a few years ago of the famous statue which now stands at the entrance of New York harbor. One of her sayings was, "Do not repress badness; crowd it out with good ideas." London Truth. A Pari Candle Story, "Every traveler who stops at a Paris lodging house," laughed a woman the other day, "has a candle story, and here is mine: We were served with two candle every morning, which we nevor half used tip; these would be taken out, however, and fresh ones appear in their places. Knowing that we were being charged for every candle we determined at least to enjoy added illumination, and my husband looked around for a place to hide them during the daily doing up of the apartment. On the top shelf of a cabiuet arrangement in a corner stood a large Japanese vase, wide and deep. Up to this Mr. climbed, to discover that we had been forestalled, for in its capa cious hollow we found seventeen can dles, every one burned down perhaps an inch. "Some former lodger had resented the candle swindle like ourselves, and had put his daily allowance where it would do the proprietor no good. Thai night a brilliant illumination of nineteen candles, each set in its own grease on the marble top table, gave as something like light During our stay we hid and accumulated candles, so that we had always enough to read by, and when we left we deposited our overstock in the vase for the benefit of some searching successor. New York Times. Th Religion of China, The three great religions of China are Confucianism, Buddhism and Taonisra. The bulk of the people are Buddhists rather than Confncianists, and there are millions of infidels. The tomb of Con fucius is at Mecca, for many of the Chi nese, and they make pilgrimages to it. Confucianism is more a philosophy than a religion. It contains many of the beau ties which we suppose to be exclusively the properties of Christianity. The golden rule in a negative form was an nunciated by Confucius, and as a system of morality it is beautiful. The Taou.sts have more superstitions than the Con- fucianists. They began about the same time as Confucius, their preacher being one Laou-lsze. The state religion, in connection with which all these religions come in, is the worship of the emperor, who is the son 0 heaven and the prophet, priest and king of the people, lie worships for them in the temples at Pekin When the great Temple of Heaven wad burned down a shudder ran down the 31)0,000,000 spines of the great Chi nese nation. It was thought that this was a warning from heaven that the emperor should be de posed. Frank G. Carpenter in National Tribune. Hedging Letter from T.ondnu. "Ever since I was abroad," said a well known New Yorker, "I have been pes tered with all sorts of begging letters. They are mostly from tlie managers of nghsh charitable institutions of vari ous descriptions, titougu Borne are from private individuals. The former inclose a variety of printed matter illustrating the purposes and work of the institution. Tho latter are abject appeals of appar ently professional begging letter writers, with which London abounds. I was talking with a friend about it and he said he had the same experience for about two years after he hail bailt a fine house here, a description of which and his wealth got into the local papers. He was deluged with begging lotters from almost every capital in Europe and es pecially from London. "T-se people are the worst and most persistent beggars in the world. Fancy an American mailing begging letters to Londoners! I suppose there must be money in it or they wouldn't do it." New York Ilerald. "Brvo." The intelligent foreigner is highly amused at the indiscriminate way in which Englisk audiences use this word, regardless of the number and sex of the performers whom they wish to applaud. A tenor is, of course, hravo; but a prima donna is brava. More than one male artist can only be bravi, and if there are more ladies than one on the stage, and no man is to be inclnded in the applause, they s.honld be hailed as brave at least according to Italian grammar.
