AN AID TO HEARING.
Opera UUuet Help the Kara an Well
aa (he Kje?.
"Hurry them alone, please," salil the
woman customer as she left a pair of
opera glasses for repairs at a Chest
nut street store. "I can't hear well at
the theater without them."
Another customer who was waiting
smiled when the woman left at her ap
parent mistake. "She meant she could
not see," he observed.
"No," rejoined the optician; "she
meant Just what she said. Opera
glasses are an aid to hearing as well
as to sight. You can prove It any time
you are seated well toward the rear In
a theater by training the glasses on a
singer. As long as you keep the singer
under scrutiny with the glasses you
will be able to follow the words of the
song with ease. Drop the glasses and
you will notice a difference. It will
require more or less of a strain to
catch the enunciation distinctly.
"By the use of opera glasses a the
ater patron Is enabled to note distinct
ly every movement of a singer's lips,
and the unconscious 'lip reading" great
ly aids the sense of hearing. If you
ever attend a public meetlag where It
Is Impossible to get close to the speak
ers provide yourself with opera glasses,
and you will be surprised how greatly
they will aid you In hearing."? Phila
delphia Record.
The Btui Band.
j "George:"
| "Yes, dear?"
"Before we were married you once
asked me If I enjoyed a brass band."
"Y-yea, perhaps I did."
"You did. And X said yes. But It
seems I misunderstood you, George.

mark on my finger."

STRANGE ACCIDENTS.
S Broken X?cU ns the lteanlt of th?
Turn of a Foot.
I "The m:i who fell out of bod am)
I or i!:e his ueck will scarcely attract
2!ore than passing notice," said a
?houghtful mail, "for there have been
many oases equally remartable. I re
call one case whore a man's neck was
? broken b.v a very slight turn of his
foot. He attempted to 'catch himself?
that is, to preserve his balance? and
the e.Tort was of such violence that he
broke his nock. .Many men have bro
ken th.'ir necks by a sudden stumble
auil a fall on tho sidewalk or by being
knocked down by some hurrying pedes
trian. or by a street car or a vehicle of
some sort.
"It is uot at all uncommon for a po
liceman. with no intention of doing
more than subdue an unruly member,
to break an offender's neck by rapping
him over the head with his club. Some
times the fail which follows and some
times the blow breaks the neck of the
offouder. Sometimes a sudden, violent
motion of the head, a quick Jerking
motion, the kind we make when dodg
ing. will breuk the neck.
"I recall a case where a man threw
his ueck out of Joint without breaking
it by throwing his head to one side In
an effort to dodge a bullet fired at
him at short range: The bullet passed
through the rim of his hat. Even after
that he carried his head tilted over tho
right shoulder and was never able to
straighten it." ? New Orleans Times
Democrat.
DUST OF THE DESERT.
It In flu VIHlctlnn, but It la Jtot In
pure. Like City Hunt.
A traveler In Egypt writes: "With all
Its heat and dilst the desert has Its
charius. True, the desert dnst Is nn
affliction, for when certain evil winds
blow the desert Is shrouded in dust
vast swirling clouds through which no
eye can see. But when the dust storms
have blown oier and the desert Is
calm again you forget the dust foi
the desert dust Is dusty dust, but not
dirty dust. Compared with the aw
ful organic dust of New York. Lou
don or Paris It Is Inorganic and pure.
"On those strips of the IJbyan aad
Arabian deserts which He along the
Nile the desert dust Is largely made
up of shredded royalty, of withered
Ptolemies, of faded Pharaohs, for the
touib< of queens and kings are count
ed here by the hundreds and of their
royal progeny aud their royal retain
cr.; by the thousands. These deslcciit
ed dynasties have been drying so loug
that they are now quite antiseptic.
"lnist of these dead and gone kings
makes extraordinarily fertile soil for
vegetable gardens when Irrigated with
the rich waters of the Nile. Their
mummies are also said to make excel
lent pigments for the brush. Barneses
and Setos. Cleopatra and Hatasu? all
the-se great ones dead and turned to
clay? when properly ground make a
rich umber paint highly popular with
artists."
A DfNlffnlaff Doctor.
The Sydney Bulletin tells of a mo
toring doctor who ran Into and cap
sized a pedestrian. He looked behind
him and. seeing the man still prono,
made a circuit and ran back, Intending
to stop beside and help him. But the
motor shot a yard or two beyond the
mark and hit the man again Just as he
was getting up. The doctor turned his
car once more and was cautiously
stealing near to the prostrate sufferer
when an excited spectator rushed from
the sidewalk and. shaking the victim,
exclaimed: "Look out! He's coming
at you again!" Whereupon the man
scrambled up and started to run.
