BPENCER’S EAR PLUGS. Ihe Way t! e ( ©at Philosopher Rid IHniMelf of Small Talk. “Years ug<>. >iys William 11. Hudson in the North American Review, "Herbert su.-ncer found that the effect of following ordinary conversation became frequently too much for him But he liked to have people about bnu to watch the play of expression on their (aces, to feel that, though he could not bfmself s 1 re much in the merriment, be was. as it were, a part of the normal and healthy social world. For this reason he objected to withdrawal Into solitude and evolved a plan by which be might secure the partial Isolation which he required. He bad a circular spring atade to go round the back of bis bead, and this carried pads which fitted firmly upon the ears, effectively deadening the noise about him and reducing the surrounding chatter to a mere hum. I have often seen him, stretched at length upon his Couch, follow with apparent interest the gossip over the afternoon tea cups up to a certain point and then, reaching under his pillow, draw forth and adjust his instrument, thus suddenly detaching himself from his environment. The effect of this movement with comparative strangers was always to cause an instant cessation of the conversation. Rut this was precisely what Spencer did not wish. ‘Co on talking,' he would exclaim, with a quizzical look. T c n't hear what you •re saying, you know!' ” COSTLY LANTERNS. The Fnncj Lamp. That Paesenrer Conductor, t wed to Carry. Modern railroading has driven the passenger conductors lantern almost out of use. Years ago the pride of a passenger conductor was his lantern. Then the cars were not so brilliantly illuminated as they are now. and the ticket taker was obliged to carry his light on his left arm in order to see the pasteboards a« be passed through the dimly lighted ear. At one time the conductors indulged in considerable extravagance in the matter of lanterns. Some of them were gold and silver pla'.-d. The upper part of the glass globe w. s colored blue, and the name <f ta. own -r was cut in old English let..r . At the meetings of the Conductors' ass< nation manufacturers would arrange a great display of costly lights at one of the hotels in the city in which the meeting would be held. Some of the conceits in the lights were unique, and the prices ranged from $25 to ten times that figure. The glass and plating were kept in a highly polished state, and none dared to meddle with this part of the ticket puncher's equipment. Conductors still carry their own lanterns—that is, they are on the train ready for use—but there is nothing like the need of them that formerly existed. -Chicago Tribune.

SHELLFISH LANGUAGE. CxirloDn Clicking Suanda Rrard on the Water at >ight. Most seamen will tell of curious clicking sounds beard <>u calm nights at sea, and the origin of the noise seems so al together unaccountable that it has often created some alarm among supeistitious fishermen. A distinguished naturalist made a careful study of the sounds on many occasions and found that it was not a sustained note, but made up of a multitude of tiny ones, each clear and distinct in itself and ranging from a high treble do’rn to a bass. When the ear was appl'Hl to the gunwale of the boat the sound grew more intense, and in some places as the boat moved on It eould not be beard at all. On other occasions the sounds resembl'd the tolling of bells, the booming of guns and the notes of an aeolian harp. For a long time he was unable to trace the cause, but at length discovered that the sounds were made by sheilfish, hundreds of them opening their shells and closing them with ! sharp snaps. The noise, partly muffled by the water, sounded indescribably w< ird He was finally led to the conclusion that as the shellfish made tne ■ sound' they probably bad some meaning and that the clicks might possibly 1 be a warning of danger when the shal- ■ low water was disturb'd by the boat. Ctrl* Kept In Caaren. It is said that the people of New Britain have a peculiar custom of confining their girls in cages until they reach marriageable age These cages are built of wood cut from the palm tree and are inside the rude houses. Outside each bouse is a fence of wickerwork made of reeds. The girls are caged at the age of two or three and are never allowed to go out of the house, yet they seem strong and healthy.
