THE first excursion trip with train of
passenger coaches run by steam, in the
State of New York, was on the Mohawk
Il Hudson Railway, from Albany to Sche-
nectady, on August 8, 1881. A sketch of
the locomotive, tender, and two of the
cars, was made by William H. Brown, one
of the eXcursionists, and is now preserved
in the Connecticut Historical Society
The carriages resemble ordinary old fash
toned coaches, with outside seats for the
drivers, which on the first occasion o
their use of steam power were occupied
by the excursionists The locomotive is
represented with four large wheels and a
perfectly straight smoke-stack; the driver
stands without support on the rear platform

the splendid drawing room cars of the
present day, what may we not accomplish

| LET me describe what is probably tn.
most frequent way in which the ear is i'm
paired; that is, by the attempt to clean it
| 1t ought to be understood that the passage
of the ear does not require cleaning by us
| Nature undertakes that task, and in the
healthy state fulflls it perfectly. Hel
means for cleaning the ear is the wax
Perhaps the reader has never wondered
what becomes of the ear-waX. L will tel
him. 1t dries up into thin, fine scales
| and these peel off, one by one, from
the surface of the passage, and fall
out imperceptibly, leaving behind them a
perfectly clean, smooth surface. In health
the passage of the ear is never dirty; but
if we attempt to clean it we infallibly
make it So Hereby strange lack OF
justice as it would seem, which, however
has no doubt deep justice at the bot
tom-the best people, those who love
cleanliness, suffer most, and good and
careful nurses do mischief negligent
| ones avoid. Washing the ear out with
soap and water is bad: it keeps the wax
moist when it had ought to become dry
and scaly, increases its quantity unduly,
and makes it absorb the dust with which
the air always abounds. But the most
hurtful thing is introducing the corner of
the towel, screwed up, and twisting it
round. This does more harm to the ears
drives down the wax upon the membrane,
much more than it gets it out. Let any one
who doubts this make tube like the pas
sage, especially with the curves which it
possesses; let him put a thin membrane
at one end, smear the surface with sub
stance like the ear-waX, and then try to
get it out so by Il towel. But this plan
does much more mischief than merely
pressing down the wax. 1t irritates the
passages, and makes it cast off small flakes
of skin, which dry up and become eX-
tremely hard, and these are also hardly
pressed down upon the membrane. Often
it is not only deafness that ensues, but
pain and Inflammation, and then matter is
formed which the hard mass prevents from
escaping, and the membrane becomes dis
eased and worse may follow.
Washing should extend only to the out
er surface, as far as the finger can reach.
1t is bad practice, also, to put cotton
wool soaked in laudanum or chlOroform
into the ear for the relief of earache. When
Il child's ear becomes painful, as it often
does, everything should be done to soothe
it. and all strong, irritating applications
should be avoided Pieces of hot fig or
onion should not be put in, but warm
flannels should be applied, with poppy
fermentation, if the pain does not soon sub
side
1t should be remembered that constant
ly covering up the ear is adapted to injure
it. On the whole, men, in whom the ear
is habitually exposed, suffer if anything
less from ear-disease than women, in
whom it is often covered-Popular! Science

RECIPES. ETC.

Most of the mustard sold by grocers
is not genuine. 1t may contain a little
mustard, but is composed mainly Of wheat
flour, turmeric, and sometimes capsi-
cum.
Cracker Pie-Eight crackers pound
ed fine, on which pour boiling water to
soften; eight table spoonfuls of vinegar,
eight OF sugar, one lemon; if too stiff, add
water.
Fried GLADSTONE cup sugar, two
cups sour cream, one cup sweet milk, one
teaspoon saleratus, one of salt, one egg.
Season with any spice you like. Flour to
roll. Cut out and fry.
Potato Custard-Ten potatoes boiled
soft, six or eight eggs, sugar to your
taste, one cup milk, quarter pOun Of but
ter, nutmeg, essence OF lemon, brandy
and wine to your taste. Mash the pota-
toes very fine.
A theory is promulgated that corn is
the cause of chicken Cholera-that it and
hog cholera are most prevalent when pigs
and chickens are fed almost exclusively on
C0rn-that corn contains less of the phOs-
pilates and more of the fatty matter than
other cereals, and this accounts for
chicken and hog cholera.
The only safe and effective treatment
Of obesity is a reduction in the quality Of
the usual food, all increase of exercise and
a reduction of the hours Of sleep. This
should be gradually pushed until the re-
duction in weight is one or two pounds a
week. This cannot fail, and will invari-
ably improve health-Dso Leoess.
"A New Product-In drying fruit it
has been discovered that the cores and
parings of the apples have a value. These
are dried and sent to the factory for the
making Of apple jelly, or they are placed
in a vat and allowed to decay and the
juice made into vinegar. Thus the whole
of the fruit is utilized This is done on
the old Shaker plan of making cider vim
egar, but is more expensive than grinding
and pressing in the usual manner.

of the Germantown Telegraph says: If
