The Locks of Schcllingwouda. The great locks of Schellingwoude let you out “in to the Zuider Zee are Aorthy objects of interest to those of jngineering tastes—huge piles of abstruse masonry, machinery and iron, so solid and serious, so free from anything frivolous, that I feel tempted to assume scientific knowledge enough to weight this rambling article with a saving blast of solid matter. Why shouldn’t I? Thousands of people write about abstruser matters—art, for instance—qf which they know infinitely less than an artist knows about engineering, and they manage to come off with eclat. Why should we not have the credit of making those great hulking locks feel small and humiliated? It would not be difficult. They really lack the elements of simplicity and quiet that mark the locks, on the Upper Thames. There are no flowers, no ginger-beer, no "bending reeds or waving willows, no fresh gush of water here and there between the leaky wood-work, that lend such an air of picturesqueness to a line old river loekc These comparisons skillfully brought to bear would pass Tor criticism very well, and we should "escape the reproach of having gone through one of the most noble monuments of modern engineering skill without a word of appreciation. These locks, the pride o/ Holland, that seein to hold two mighty floods by the throat with a gigantic stony grasp, and to keep the seas at bay, surely deserve - more worthy comment than we know how to give them. It is not'our purpose to introduce guide-book matter in the way of statistics; we had onlyabout ten minutes’ experience of those mighty works, and they were given mostly to things pictorial. We own to being impressed, even dazed, by these splendid exainples of Dutch engineering skill, to say nothing of courage and enterprise. —George H. -Boughton, in Harper's Magazine. Living Fountains.

The eradication and prevention, of diseases of a miasmatic type are, however, ascertained possibilities.

A Husband and the Mule. Wakefield Starkey, of Austin, while crossing the track of the International and Great Northern railroad on a valuable mule, was struck by a .loeomotive and killed. The mule was also hurried into eternity. Wakefield Starkey, although a perfect gentlemen on the street, was a perfect tyrant of the deepest dye. Without any provocation whatever, he useiTto beat his wife and lock her up in the wardrobe; hence, when she heard of his death, it was not so much a case of heavy bereavement as it was of mitigated affection. As the engineer of* the locomotive was clearly to blame for the accident, it was suggested to the widow that she bring a suit for damages. She resolved to do so, and called at the office of the railroad company. The proper official happened to be in. The widow had such a clear case against the company that it was deemed advisable to compromise the matter. . “Now, madam,” said the official, after the widow had thrown back her veil and stated her business, “we are willing to do what is fair in this matter. There is really no occasion to go to law. It is a delicate subject to discuss; sol. think, without going into the merits of it, I will tender you a clieek for $3,000, and you will sign a paper releasing the company from all further demands.” The widow started and asked: “How much ?” “I am authorized to pay you $3,000.” “I accept it,” she said/very much agitated. The check was handed over, the papers signed, and the widow ■walked out into the street in a bewildered frame of mind. As she cashed the check, she said to herself, confidentially, “I didn’t expect to get more than SSO. I reckon that railroad fellow didn’t know how old that mule was!”

Jewesses and Wigs. There is a remarkable mystery surrounding the origin of the custom of the Jewish women cutting off'their hair and donning a wig on their marriage. The stubborn adherence to this custom suggested the plot of- .the gloomy story which concludes the 'Mews of Barnow.” Evefi in the present day the custom is still observed by the ultra-orthodox. The effects of the custom were supposed to give a clew to its origin. There was undoubtedly too much reason in the middle ages for Jewesses to be eager to make themselves as unattractive as possible. The custom of cutting off the hair of the bride on the wedding day is not mentioned in the Talmud. According to Mishnah Ketuboth (vol. 6) it is contrary to Jewish custom for married women to appear in the street with head uncovered. Out of modesty the custom was also observed in the house, and in order to remove the possibility of yielding to temptation the hair —serving no longer as an ornament, but being a superfluous weight on the head —was entirely cut off. & According to Mishnah Nazir (iv., 5) the cutting off the hair is coiffeidered a disfigurement, which the husband could veto in case of his wife being a Nazarite. Seme few believe that the custom dates from the very earliest times, and that they found their opinion upon the allusion thereto in Deuteronomy xxi., 12. Referring to the mode prescribed for taking a captive woman for wife the text says? “Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and sho shall shave her head.” — Jewish Chronicle.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed comiition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its uoimal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition ot the mucous surfaces.
