PICKING THE EARs.-Dr. Hall says "picking
the ears" is most mischovous practice in at
tempting to do this with hard substances, an un-
lucky motion has many time pierced the drum;
nothing sharper or harder than the end of the
little finger, with the nail paired, ought TO
be introduced into the ea-, unless by physician.
Persons are often see eEdeavoring to remove the
"wax" of the ear with the head of pin this
ought never to be done, first, because it not only
endangers the rupture of the ear by being
pushed too far in, but if not so far it may CRATE
against the drum, excite inflammation and an
ulcer which will finally eat all the parts away
especially of n scrofulous constitution second,
hard substances have often slipped in and caused
the necessity Of painful operations to fish or cut
out third the wax is manufactured by nature
to guard the entrance from dust, insects and un-
modified cold air, and when it has subserved its
purpose it becomes dry, scaly, light and in this
condition is easily pushed outside by new form
ations of wax within. Occasionally wax may
harden and may interfere with the hearing but
when this is the case, it is the part of wisdom to
consult physician and let him decide what is
the remedy if one cannot be had, the only safe
plan is to let fall into the three four drops
of tepid water, night and morning the saliva is
better STILL for il is softer and more penetrating
bnt glycerine is far preferable to either it is
one of the blandest fluids in nature, and very
rapidly penetrates the hardened wax, cools the
parts, and restores them to a healthful condi-
tion. If in a week there is not decided i'm
provement in the hearing, medical advice ought
TO be had at once, as next to the eye, the ear is
the most delicate organ of the body.

Dream Land.

We all have fair world of our own,
A sacred retreat that dwell in alone;
Not the dearest OF friends the nearest of kin
Are ever invited to enter therein.
If Fate treats us harshly, or Fortunes unkind,
If clouds OF Dependency darken the mind,
Or cares VeX the spirit, we turn for u tim6
To the sooting delight of this ideal cline
The child growing tired of playmates and toys,
The youth feeling sated with Pleasures wild joys,
The world-weary man sick of turmoil and strife,
All find i'll this realm new hope and new life
No bleak winds of winter invade this retreat;
No frost chills its flowers ever adeess and sweet
For its skies bend in shadowless beauty above,
And its airs soft US the whispers of Love.
No wild disappointment, no sin and no care
Ever come to us here, bringing tears and despair;
But ambitions most lofty and wishes most dear
Seem always attained in this magical sphere.
Oh, beautiful dreamland sweet realm of the SOUL
Lying safe and secure beyond sorrows control!
Art thou toretaste and type of that shadowess shore
We all hope to reach when lifes sad voyage is oerl

How TO ADvERTIsE.-A grocer meets a Gus
toner on the street and says to him, " have a
fine lot of general groceries, teas, hams, flour
(eleven millions of barrels of the latter, at my
store, call in" that has no special attraction.
But if he says, 81 have just got over Stilton
cheese from old Mr. Stton himself, which will
just suit you, and a couple of jars of those nice
picked grasshoppers," the customer curiosity
is aroused, and he steps around to secure piece
of the Stilton Of course when he is there he
buys other things-so weak is human nature.
Advertising works in the same way. If the
grocer puts in a general advertisement of him
self and his business it attracts little attention,
comparatively. But if he calls attention to
specialtes, offers something new or good, d-
rectly people will be interested. The use of an
advertisement is means of communication in
order to be successful it must be living thing
in the nature of short open letter, from one
who has something in particular to sell TO some
one likely to want to buy that thing. dry
goods advertisement, for instance, should be de-
finite. To post up in the paper, in big letters
" John Snooks, all sorts of dry and wet dress
goods. No. IL Topside," does not move the
world. But when John Snooks says that he has
"a couple of choice bromine cretonnes," which
he will show on Tuesday, eyerybody's wife goes
to see them. And if he changes his announce
ment every day. or only advertises when he has
something that he wants to call public attention
to- he will keep himself freshly in the public
mind

TAXING A PoslTIoN.-Joe Dovetail had n
strong minded wife. She looked upon Joe as
sort of necessary evil, treating him very much
as the old lady did her husband on the steam
boat, who objected to some of her arrangements
for travel, when she shut him up suddenly by
telling him. in the hearing of dozen passen-
gers " Why what is it to your If had
known you were going to act so, wouldn t
have brought you alongP But Joe and Mrs.
Dovetail never travelled. They were always at
home, though Joe was rarely seen there or else
where. She had long trained him to the habit
of retiring uRder the bed when company called
and so familiar was he with that retreat, it was
question whether, in default of personal SER
vice, warning to militia training would hold
him unless left under the bed, as being his " last
and usual place of abode" During the stay of
Mrs. Dovetail's friends, he occaionaly thrust
out his head like a turtle, but one glance from
his spouse would send him under, with cold
shivers running up his back. One day, as she
was hob-nobbling over the fire with friend
and II social glass, Joe thrust out his fgurehead,
and defed the shakes and frowns of his wife,
till, growing valiant and desperate, he sang out
"My dear, you may shake your head just as
much as you please, but tell you, as long as |

TechnicRIitics.

/ | once heard pretty good thing in the SUI
preme court at Portland. The case was one o
severe assault upon the first officer of Yankee
bark, by one of the crew, which assault occur
red on shore. Judge 5. was called upon the
| bench He was very small man very neat in
dress, and very fastdous resting firmly upon
mis- judicial dignity frst-class lawyer and
withal inclined to be selt-suthcient and cruSty
No attorney at the bar ever ventured to take
| libertis with Judge 5. The principal witness in
the present case an old weath er-bcaten sailor
named Jack Miller. Now, Jack was called to
testify against his shipmate, as he had witnessed
the assault, and had intertercd to terminate it
but he was anxious to tell little against his
chum as possible, and, Furthermore, to soften
down and excuse what he did tell and this led
him to be a little rambling in his testimony.
The Judge had been making notes with his PEN
Gil, and as Jack was wandering off into an un-
| necessary explanation, he lifted his head and,
evidently forgetting for the moment the exact
standing of the Witness with his mind partially
upon the notes, he testify exclaimed
"Come, witness-ad rem, ddProdosi6Um! Don't
wander so.'
The witness stopped and looked up at the
Judge wonderiugy lie repeated the Obstruso
words to himself as nearly as he could pronounce
them, and then, with earnest simplicity, asked
" Yer honor what does them words mean p
"Never mind, never mind" returned the
Judge, with a wave of the hand, "They arc
technical terms, used in law, not for men in
your position to understand"
There was litter in the court room as poor
Jack turned, rather crestfallen, back to the
amining counsel. Pretty soon the witness
sought to explain that bis shipmate, when he
made the assault, was not himself. Said he,
half to the counsel and half to the jury
" Tom pooy hard for it. He'd spliced
the main brace, an doubled the tub, an tapped
the admiral more'n--'
The little smooth head of Judge s. bobbcd up
at this point {" Stop, witness don't compre-
hend. What do you mean by doubling tho
tub, tapping the admiral, and the other
equally ambiguous expressons|' p
Jacks eyes snapped just single spark, and
then his face was calm and serene as the bark of
an old gnarled oak
"Why, yer honor" he replied, with pOtrouiz-
ing respect and Difference, " them's technical
terms used on shiphoard, which it aren't ex-
pectcd 'at mon in yer honor's position would un-
derstand."
While his honor was subsidng, litter broke
loose in the courtroom, which would have
sweled to n If the sheriff had not sternly
bitten his lip and loudly commanded "ordcr."

A OAN1Nn PnIvrnn.-The Grasg YaIley Union

A CANINE PRINTER-The Grass Valley Union
tells about him, ns follows:
We have read about dogs running with fire
engines, driving up cows, tending babies and all
that sort of things, but we know Of dog who
will run only with printers and who is not happy
unless he can have his bed and board in print
ing office. I" Savage or as the boys call him,
" Old Man, was raised oy Charley Wells, ono
of the proprietors Of the late National of this
place, and now Of the Gazette of Nevada. Say
age is bulldog, but so thoroughly n printer
that he is civilized and not savage. He runs at
no one, never growls at strangers, pays little at
tention to other dogs, but recognizes n printer
wherever he meets one. A stranger belonging
to the craft coming into town is Immediately
known to the cold Man, as soon the quad
ruped can see or smell the biped. On such oc-
easions of recognition Savage's tail is the only
feature which expresses bis feelings, and those
feelings are always of pleasure lie knows all
the places where the printers are in the habit of
congregating when not at work, and he never
fails to 20 with them when they make raids
around town. Before the Nationoi was removed
from Grass Valley, Savage divided his time with
fairness between the National and the Union of
fees The Old Man" occasionally Of morn
ing goes over to Charley Wells to see how tho
folks get along, but he never remains any length
of time from his business in the printing office.
This business of his, by the way, is to sleep un-
der one of the cases with his nose close to
an ink keg. A good fellow is the O. Old Man,"
and he acknowledges tho compliment by slap
ping his lazy old tail, by way Of a wag, the
floor as soon as we read this item to him.

THE new Professor of Modern History at Cam
bridge has come forward with a declaration of
his opinion on the much-debated questionable
education of women. Professor Seeley is not
one of those who wish to change the position of
the sexes neither would he give the same edu-
cation to women that is now given to men but
he wishes complete reform of the present edu-
cational system. "The object of education is -
he said " to make good women information as
to the common matters of everyday interest Is
of more importance toward that end than the
study of what occurred hundreds of years
ago"

AN ABLE oo1onrD MAs.-The Lexington (Ky)

Gazette says:
At the last meeting of Lexington Presbytery,
sitting in Versailles, negro applied for license
to preach, and it was accorded to him, but not
until after "A most searching examination, during
which he showed himself familiar with Uobrew,
Greek and Latin, and all the text books required
to be studied by Presbyterian theological stu
dents. The negro is singular compound of
physical deformity and mental activity, being
dwarfed and distorted in body to Il degree almost
painful to look upon, and with avery large head
out of all proportion to the rest Of his person.
He is a reputed son of the great lawyer and ora
tor, s. s. Preniss, at one time member of Con-
gress from Mississippi, whore he looked
upon as Il perfect prodigy of eloquence and men
tai attainments. This son of his seems to pos
sess his father pecuarities in an exaggerated
degree, and may yet prove as marvellous in mind
as distorted in body. His appearance so preju-
diced the members of the Presbytery against
him that they would have refused him license
If he had shown any deficiency. He required
to deliver n sermon Of his own composition, and
the matter of it was not only good, bat the man
ner of delivery was composed and admirable.
We have not heard to what field he has been
called.
