The Ear.
HOW TO CARE FOR IT.

The Popular Science MONTHLY for Jnno
says that probably the most frequent wav in
wnich the ear is impaired is by the attempt to
cieah IL. 1t ought to be understood that tha
passage OF the ear does not require cleaning
py us. Nature undertakes that task. and in
the healthy state fulills it perfectly. Her
means Tor cleaning the ear is the wax. Per-
nalS tue reader has never wondered what he
comes OF the ear-wax / will tell him 7,
1t dries up into thin, fine scales and .ho.a
peel OIL, one by one, from the surface &c .uIso ~
passage, and fall out imperceptiblv- Ieav;ns, ino
behind them perfectly clean, smooth snr'
face. In health the passage of the ear il
never dirty; but, if we attempt 10 claan
it we infalliby make it SO. Hera
by q strange lack of Justice. "a n
would seem, which. however, has no ,loubt
a deep Justice at the bottom-the best people
those who love cleanliness, suffer most. and
good and careful nurs,s s do mischief neoli-
gent ones avoid. Washing the ear out with
soap and water is bad; it kee the wax
moist when it 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 in
PRODUCING the corner Of the towel, screwed
up, anu TWISTING IL rOunu. 1nlS uOeS more
harm to the ears than all the other mistakes
together. 1t drives down the wax upon the
membrane much more than it. gets it out.
Let any one who doubts this make q tube
like the passage, especially with the curves
which it possesses; let him put thin MEM
brane at one end, smear the surface with
substance like the ear wax. and then try to
get it out so by towel. But this plan does
much more mischief than me rely pressing
down the wax. 1t irritates the passages,
and makes it cast off small fakes of skin,
which dry up and become extremely hard,
and these are also hardy 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 diseased, and worse NAV follow.
Washing should extend only to the outer
surface. as far as the finger can reach. 1t is
bad pr9ctice, also, to put cotton wool
soaked in laudanum or chic oform into TIE
ear for the relief of toothache. When
chld's ear becomes painful. as it often does,
everything shonld 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 farnels should be
applied, with poppy fermentation, if the pain
should not soon subside.
1t should be remembered that constantly
covering up the ear is adarted to injure it.
On the whole, men, in whom the ear is ha-
bitually exposed, suffer if anything less from
ear-disease than women, in whom it is often
covered.

A WRITING MACHINE.-There is now an
automatic writer, the work Of western Inv
ventor, that bids fair TO realize most of the
purposes of such an instrument. The opera
tor sits before three or four rows Of keys,
marked with the letters, figures, and punctu-
alton marks, and upon pressing one of these
the leter.is instantly recorded on a sheet of
paper. Speed to the extent of fifty words a
minute is said to be easily attainable, which
is perhaps twenty words more than a rapidly
long handed writer will average. Greater
speed, greater ease, and greater legibility
would seem to recommend the invention as
one that may become very serviceable to
overworked mankind. r.

traces all the religions back to the worship of
Light. 1t even gives a diagram, like genea-
logical tree, which shows the ancestry of the
various creeds. 1t makes Judaism, or the
worship of Jehovah, one of the oldest branch
es, but does not follow down its offshoot
Christianity. 1t does, however, trace Mo-
hammedanism to mingling of Chaldaic and
Judaic ideas.

Varied Career and Sad Death.

From the Springfield Qhass) Republican. Muy 26.
A man died in Worcester, few days ago,
whose career is a strange illustration of the
power of strong drink to ruin manhood.
Twelve years ago he was lawyer in Connec-
ticut, then twenty-four years old, of marked
ability and fine promise. Entering the army,
he served with distinction, rising to the COM
mand of his regiment. Becoming addicted
to the use of intoxicants, he sank to the lev
ell of common drunkard, and in 1865 was
allowed to resign to escape disgrace. While
Intoxicated in one of the low dens of New
York, one night, he was ''shanghaed' aboard
of China bark, which sailed the next morn
ing for Bombay. The vessel was wrecked in
st. Helena Bay, on the west coast of Africa,
and all but nine of the crew lost. The re-
mander made their way to Cape Town,
where the ex-soldier commenced prolonged
debauch. He was finally arrested, imp, ison-
ed, and at last hired by the authorities to a
Dutch farmer, by whom, in company with
several Ho.tentots, he was employed in tend
ing cattle. After a rief experience of this
kind of life, he escaped and shipped on small
vessel bound through the Straits of Madagas-
car on trading voayge. Becoming dissatis-
fed, however, he again deserted. and, pene-
trating to the interior of the island lived some
time among the natives. He was allowed to
become settler, had half dozen wives, and
was fo' time considered as one of the peo-
pie; but finally becoming unpopular, and
hearing that he was to be murdered, he
secretly departed at night. After almost in
credible sufferings, he reached the coast and
put to sea in an open boat, intending to reach
the main land. He was picked up by YES
sci bound for Cape Town and carried back.
There he shipped for Singapore, and, after
wandering in China and Japan for several
years, finally reached San Francisco. All
this time his habit of drinking had maintain
ed its ascendency, and had sufficed to counter
act the stimulus which his adventures might
otherwise have given bold, daring spirit. He
was physically and mentally broken down,
and incapable of further effort. He remain
ed in San Francisco virtually beggar until
about year ago, when he appeared in Eliza
beth, N. j.. as bartender in a drinking sa-
loon of the lowest class. A few months Since

and was without friends or means OF support.
