inent French physician thinks that the
decrease of dyspepsia and bilious af-
fections III Paris, is owing to the in
creased consumption OF apples, which
fruit he maintains is an admirable pro
phylatic and tonic, as well as a verv
nourishing and asilydigested article
of food. The Parisians devour one
hundred millions of apples every win
ter, that is, they did before the war.
SIMPLE REMEDY FOR NOSE BLEED
A friend who has tried it, says "Put
piece of paper in your mouth, chew
1t rapidly, and it will stop your nose
from bleeding. This lemedy has been
tried frequently with success
A physician says that placing small
roll of paper of muslin above the front
teeth, under the upper lip, and pressing
hard on the same, will arrest bleeding
from the nose, checking the passage OF
the blood through the arteries leading
to the nose.
The EAR-AcHE. Generally heat is
the best remedy. Apply warm poul-
tice or warm oil to the ear. Rub the
back of the ear with warm laudanum
In case of foetid discharge, carefully
syringe the ear with warm milk and
water In all cases keep the ear thor
oughly cleansed Relief is often given
by rubbing the back of the ear with a

Switches and ChjgnOnS.

Few persons, says the BOSTON Com
mercial Bulletin, probably realize the
magnitude which the articles of switch
es and chignons have reached. The
first switches were made III Central
Falls, r. l., by workman in one OF
the flax mills. For long time all
that were used, the number of which at
first was quite small were made there.
Afterwrrd firm In Providence com
menced the manufacture. The price
t hen was from 500 to 900, realizing
a large profit to the manufacturer.
Switches then retailed at 81. 30 to SIC
are now sold at % to 81 cents. Several
parties started in this city employ
from ten to forty men each. Some
idea of the amount manufactured can
be found from the experience of the
largest of Boston manufacturers, en-
ploying forty men hacking and finish
ing the jute, and fifty to sixty girls in
the manufacture of chignons, using ten
bales of 800 pounds each and 5000
pounds of hair per day. This firm
used over 600 bales $50, 900 pounds.
in dozen per day of switches alone
Much has been said of the presence o.
insects in the jute, but it was probably
without truth. In the large amount
used by this firm, no sign of one was
ever seen, and the article of jute Is as
clean, or more 50, than human hair i'll
| the course of manufacture; at least one
half the weight is combed out at one
time. Theprejudice was strong against
them, particularly in the State oi
Maine, that they could not be sold at
| all.
There are also many switches made
of fine glazed cotton thread, also OF
! silk dyed without washing out the gum,
which gives it the nearest resemblance
to hair, of any article used. Much of
this hair silk is woven the same as
ribbons, and afterwards braided like
wool into chignons. Jute in a great
measure superseded this article, owing
to its extreme cheapness. At one
time during last Summer the stock i'll
market was almost entirely used up,
from immense quantities used for this
purpose, causing it to advance nearly
% per cent III price.

The June returns of the statistical dI-

States indicating an enlargement of area
in this crop are as follows: New York,

The Rev Charles d. Mott of ST
Louis. sends to the Independent Il
story suggested by the remark of Dr.
McCosh, that he had ''doubts whether
the lower animals can abstract, whether
they can generalize. "A former pas
tor of mine, SAYS Mr. Mott, ''told me
the following When boy, he had a
fox, which, [ regret to say, bore the
reputation of possessing far more brain
than personal piety. This fox was
kept III the ward in a sort of raised den.
nicely sodded over, and was confined
by chain that allowed him a generous
circumference. One evening in the
Fail, the fmm-wagon, returning from
the field With a load of corn,
passed near the den, and by chance
dropped an ear where the fox could
reach it. He was seen to spring out,
seize the corn, and carry it quickly
back into the den What he wanted
with it Is d mystery, as corn formed no
part Of the gentleman diet. The next
morning, however, the mystery was ex,
planned, for the fox was observed, out
of his den, and considerably within the
length of his chain, nibbling off some
OF the corn and scattering 1T about i'll
full view OF the poultry, after which he
took the remainder back into the den
and awaited events. Sure enough, the
chickens came; aud, while eating, out
sprang the fox, nabbed his man, and
quietly took his breakfast in his back
parlor Now it seems to me that this
is pretty good 'generalizing

terestlng accounts of the departure on
May 10Th OF the Emperor Don Pedro |,
OF Brazil, and his wife, the Empress
Teresa, for visit to Lisbon and Eu-
rope. 1t S stated that this is the first
time for thirty years, and the second
time In its history, that Brazil has been
governed by regent. The Brazilian
Legislature voted an appropriation of
$500, 600 to detray the expenses of the
journey OF the Emperor, but Don Ped
70 absolutely declined TO accept any
sum whatever, not wishing to burden
the national expenditures. The En-
peror will be absent for year Pre-
vlous to his departure, on May Goth, in
the presence OF the Legislature, the
Ministers of State and other high
officials, the oath of office was taken by
the Regent, the Princess Isabella,
daughter OF the Emperor and wife of
CASTOR Louis, Count d'Eu, the son OF
the Duke de Nemours, and grandson of
Louis Philippe. The Regent Isabella
was born July Doth, 1916, and was 1lar-
ried on October 18th, 1864 The oath
taken by the Regent binds her to main
tain the Roman Catholic religion. the
integrity and the indivisibility of the
empire, to observe the constitution and
laws OF the Brazilian nation. She also
swears fidelity to the Emperor, and to
deliver up to him the government on
his return.

That darken'd life forever;
Nv pallid face nor moved nor stirr'd-
His lips but one short culver.
He gave me that long yearning look,
and spake: iii such | be -
And all his frame shudder shook
Il am not fit for thee +"
We never met again-until
long years had swept a'r'r:
His face was cold, and calm, aud still
Ny hair was tinged with gray,
Upon his arm a lady hung
His voice was kind and free:
He did not know the bloOd-drops wrung
From my hearts agony.
We met but once again-the day
On which my darling died.
His wife and child had p1ss'd away:
I babe farewell to pride.
We met-my face TO his he drew
He called me by my name:
And in his dying hour we knew
our love had been the same.
