Getting into Hot Water.

THERE is doctor in this city, says the
San Francisco Chronicle, who has speak
ing tube leading from the main entrance
of the building to his office, which Is up
inst a few flights. For several days past IA
smart Young man, named Swartz, has
amused himself by calling for the doctor
through the pipe, and then profanely or
derinG him TO set out on an excursion Tor
Tartarus For some time this fun was
taken in good part, until the fine humor
of the Joke no longer became apparent.
Accordingly, one afternoon, the disciple OF
Esculapius provided himself with tea
kettle of water, heated to about 2lo oe-
grees Fahrenheit, and waited alongside
tbe pipe. Pretty soon the old familiar
sound came up through the pipe;
"Sav. Doe, how's Tricks?'
"Tricks is better now; guess hell GET

Bark Lice.

IT is very easy to destroy bark lice
The little oyster-like scale was last yea
the living insect-a white louise so small
as to be almost microscopic, with JUS
enough vitality to move little from its
parent nest, and there fix itself growing
eight or ten times larger, by means Of {
viscous fluid exuding from its body, anC
finally hardening into the scale now GOV
ering from one to two dozen eggs, looking
like white dust. A little watching with
the aid of a pocket magnifier, which every
farmer ought to own and carry with him
will enable the observer to tell when
they are Matched out and moving, which,
in this latitude, AZ 80, and elevation above
tide-water ,225 feet, is about the Goth OF
June. At any time after this, and before
they are fixed to the bark, or are too much
grown and hardened, nothing more expen
sive than soap suds from Mondays
washing is needed for their complete de
struction. In my own experience, one
thorough washing with soft soap suds has
always sutficed to kill them all, and re
store tree to vigor.-Country Gentleman

ONE of the most recent discoveries Is
that of iron suspension bridges in the west
of China. The river Taho is spanned by
an elegant iron chain suspension bridge,
built upon massive stone buttresses.
Planks are laid over the chains, covered
with earth and straw. Many remains of
similar bridges are found in Western
China, we are told by DR.. Anderson,
These bridges have been used for cen
turtles, but the art of building them seems
to have passed away. The idea has re-
newed itself among the Western barbar-
ians.

How Bathing may InIure the Ear

Among the causes of injury to the ear
must unfortunately be reckoned bathing.
Not that this most healthful and important
pleasure need, therefore, be in the last
discouraged; but it should be wisely reg
ulated. Staying too long in the water
certainly tends to produce deafness as well
as other evils; and it is practice against
which Young persons of both sexes should
be carefully on their guard. But indepen-
IDENTIFY of this, swimming and floating are
attended with certain danger from the diff
ficulty of preventing the entrance of water
into the ear in those positions. Now, no
cold fluid should ever enter the ear cold
water is always more or less irritating, and /,
if used for Swinging, rapidly produces ex-
treme'giddiness. In the case of warm water
its entrance into the ear is less objectiona-
BILE, but even this is not free from disad-
vantage. Often the water lodges in the
ears and produces an uncomfortable sem
sation till it is removed: this should al
ways be taken as sign of danger. That
the risk to hearing from unwise
bathing is not a fancy, is proved by the
fact, well known to lovers of dogs, that
those animals, if in the habit of jumping
or being thrown into the water, so that
nelr neaQS are covered, frequently pe-
come deaf. A knowledge of the danger is
a sufficient guard. 70 be safe it is only ne
cessary to keep the water from entering the
ear. If this cannot be accomplished other
wise, the head may be covered. 1t should
be added, however, that aoet hair, whether
from bathing or washing, may be a cause
of deafness, if it be suffered to dry by
itself. Whenever wetted, the hair should
be wiped till it is fairly dry. Nor ought
the practice of moistening the hair with
water, to make it curl, to pass without re-
monstrance. To leave wet hair about the
ears is to run great risk of injuring them
In the washing of children, too, care
should be taken that all the little folds o
the outer ear are carefully and gently dried
with soft towel. From Popular Science

DECORATION DAY.
BY cnAnLHs NJ. uunnAnp.

No words of mine, written in humble rhyme,
Gan e'er portray the meaning of this day;
Nor render more impressive, more sublime,
The scenes that have already passed away.
MY words can not recall the battle scenes, i
With scarce one-half the force that soldiers feel
When gathered midst the loud report carbines,
Or clash and clamor mid the sharpened steel .
But martial array, decoration day,
Or military show, or lannon's peal,
Can never that sad, sweet remembrance pay
As round the graves OF comrades dear we
bneel;
That wreathes of flowers once again we spread
Ger fallen heroes graves who fell in fight,
And now are numbered mong the forms of dead,
Whose faces now are hidden from our sight.
The bones of tens of thousands rest to-day
Where no uneven surface marks the place
Where only grass and weeds choke up the way,
And fragrant flowers forget to show their face"
And still, beneath old oceans briny waves,
While fighting under colors they thought true,
How many sank to rest in wat'ry graves,
Both boys in gray as well as boys in blue.
The hearts of some to-day, are sad and brok'n
In fond remembrance of forms never found ;
The forms that rest unknown, without a tok'n
Of love or memory above their mound.
Tho flowers Ger their graves may never bloom,
To-day enshrned liz love-enbalmed they lie
Their names are written on a nations tomb.
Their sacred memory will never die.
Weep not, o mothers DEAR for fallen
save; Isl
Mourn not, fair maidens, for heroic ones
Whose liteless forms to day rest in the grave
Gaze not upon these hallowed spots and weep
They're only waiting now, Jehovah's cries
To bid them rise from graves where they but
And JOIN Him round His throne within the
skies.
The struggles on the bloody battlefield
can, Lor would, attempt to now recall
May my pen never such a task e'er WELD
Let old oblivion's waves efface them all.
The scenes SO long, long since have passed away
That north and south should reunite again
BY closing up the bloody chasm this day
In decorating graves of heroes slain.
Our flag, our land. thank God this day are free,
The stars and Stripes still float fro n shore to
shore;
May north and south again united be,
A sym pathetic band forevermore
God bless our living soldiers all to-day,
Both north and south, throughout our mighty
land,
As cross and wreath and dropping flag they pay,
A. fond memento OF heroic band.
The years-and cen an age---may pass away;
Yet ever, through the futures dngy haze,
We may behold this decoration day
And through the misty veil of time, may ize
Upon the graves, the grassy mounds. the bed
OF those that fought well the bloody strife,
That wrought the shame upon our nations
head,
That sought to end-to save the Unions life.
