Life insurance policies usually contain q
clause providing that If the insured shall
die by his own hand, the policy shall be-
come void. An important case upon this
subject has just been concluded in the
United States Circuit Court of Iowa.
Charles L. Hogan, whose life was insured
by the Mutual Life Insurance Company,
Of New York, killed himself, in 1871, and
the company declined to pay, on the ground
that Hogan had died by his own hand,
within the meaning of the exception stated
in the policy. Hogan's administrator con-
sequently brought suit, admitting the sui
eide, but declaring that the act had been
committed whilst Hogan was Temporarily
insane" Upon the insanity issue the trial
took place before a jury, there being first
excluded from the jury-box, however, all
jurors who had "the preconeeived opinion
that man was conclusively insane merely
because he committed suicide Upon the
side Of the administrator evidence was pro-
duced to show that Hogan had, in the
latter part of his life, changed from an
affectionate husband and father to one who
was irritable and morose: that he com
planned of pains in the head; treated his
wife and children harshly, but afterwards
denied all remembrance Of such conduct;
and that, in the opinion of several physi-
clans, who testified as experts, he was
really insane. Upon the side Of the insur-
ance company, this change in his conduct
was admitted, but they declared that it
was produced by different cause than
insanity. They showed that his family
relations were unpleasant; that he got into
severe pecuniary embarrassment; was
defaulter to the express compony by which
he was employed, and had embezzled
$500 money package, which the company
was engaged just before his death in trac-
ing. out. Exposure being imminent, he
Intellectually tried to borrow the money
necessary to make good his deficit, and
finally the superintendent Of the express
company unexpectedly appearedin in Hogan's
Office to investigate his accounts, and on
the same day Hogan shot himself. The
jury, after an hours deliberation, gave a
verdict for the insurance company, and
declared, in special finding, that Hogan
voluntarily took his own life. A motion
subsequently, made for a new trial was
Overruled. This case has an important
bearing upon life insurance in connection
with suicide.

Picking the Ear.

DIR. Hall says picking the ear" is a
most mischievous practice in attempting
to do this with hard substances, an unlucky
motion has many time pierced the drum;
nothing sharper nor harder than the end
Of the little finger, with the nail pared,
ought ever to be introduced into the ear,
unless by physician.
Persons are often seen endeavoring to
remove the "wax" of the car with the head
of pin this ought never to be done !;
first, because it not only endangen 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 If scrofulous constitution /;
second, hard substances have often slipped
in and caused the necessity Of painful op-
erations to fish or cut out; third, the wax
is manufactured BY nature to guard the
entrance from dust, insects, and unmodifed
cold air, and when it has subserved its
purpose it becomes dry, scaly, light, and
in this condition is easily pushed out by
new formation 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 ear
three or four drops Of tepid water, night
and morning; the saliva is better still, for
it is softer and more penetrating, but glyc-
crime is far preferable to either; it is one
Of the blandest fluids in Nature, and very
rapidly penetrates the harden wax, cools
the parts, and restores them to a healthy
condition. If in a week there is not
decided improvement in the hearing, med
ical advice ought to be had at once, as
next to the eye, the ear is the most deli
cate organ Of the body.

Our 0lio.
The Constellation Of the Great Bear.

Miss Maria Mitchell, Professor of As.
tronomy at Vassar College, recently deliv
cred in New York city an entertaining and
instructive lecture on the above topic, re-
counting the results Of researches in the
armament, and sketching the progress Of
astronomy from the earliest knowledge tc
the latest discoveries After picturing the
general view Of the heavens, the lecturer
stated that the Arabians were the first to
study the science. The seven stars Of the
Great Bear have been spoken of from very
ancient times. They are the seven sages
Of the Hindus, and are also called Charles
Vain and commonly the Dipper. They
were named about 1000 years ago after
certain letters of the Greek alphabet. No
two are alike in color, fact that can be
detected better by the unaided eye than
with the telescope. A double star consists
of two stars close together, usually of diff.
ferent tints and complementary in color
Miss Mitchell stated that she had often
tried to match their hues with worsted, but
had never succeeded nothing resembles
them except rubies and diamonds. A de.
scription was then given Of her visit to the
observatory in Rome into which she was al
first refused entrance on account of her
sex. Reyerting to her theme, the lecturer
alluded to Father Secchi as one of the ear.
liest astronomical discoyerers with the
spectroscope. According to him, our sun
belongs to the group of stars which give
yellow light, such as Arcturus and others.
She then spoke Of the time required for
the passage Of light; ray from the polar
star reaches us 30 years after It's emission.
Some stars are variable, differing in splen-
dor at various times, one in the Great Bear
having its period of variation once in every
301 days. Our sun itself Is variable star.
The solar spots have been noticed in great
numbers during the past few years, but we
do not perceive any difference in the guam
tity Of light received from the suns disk
when it is thus obs,ured. OF late years,
it has been noticed that the suns spots
have some connection with certain condi.
tions Of the planets.
Miss Mitchell then alluded to the study
of astronomy at vassar College, where, she
said, the sun was photographed every day
and record of its changes thus kept.
Movements of other heavenly bodies are
carefully noted. The spectroscope shows
that six Of the stars Of the Great Bear are
moving towards the earth, while the sew
enth is receding.
Rays Of light from some stars may take
100 or 1000 years to reach us. They
may have changed from white to pink or
from yellow to red, while the record that
the ray brings us is that Of years ago.

The Santa Barbara Grape Vine,

Is claimed to be the largest vine in
the world. The history of this vine is not
well verified, though it is asserted to be as
follows "A Spanish lady, when starting
from Sonora on horseback, had given to
her by her lover a branch from grape
vine to be used as riding whip, and that
when she arrived at Santa Barbara she
planted the branch which has produced
this wonderful vine. How long ago it was
we are not informed. 1t is asserted to be
between 40 and 100 years old, opinions
and dates differing
This vine is situated about three and
one half miles from the town Of Santa
Barbara, CAL, in the courtyard of an old
adobe house. The trunk Is about four feet
four inches in circumference at the largest
part. II begins to branch six or eight
feet from the ground and is then support
ed on framework which it covers as a
roof The whole vine supported on this
framework now covers over an acre of
ground. Several Of the limbs are ten
inches in circumference at distance Of
twenty-five or thirty feet from the trunk.
The annual yield Of grapes from this vine
is from 10000 to $4,000 pounds. The
clusters Of grapes average, when ripe, from
two to two and one-half pounds each. The
vine is on rather high ground, and il is
stated that the soil about ii has never been
manured. The soil under it is hard and
the spaniards dance under the shadow Of
the leaves Of the vine, which form COM
pleie snn-proof canopy Of yerdure. The
produce Of this vine supported an old wo-
man who owned il for many years. An
other vine near by promises to rival this,
the fruit rather excelling that Of the "big
vine" A small stream Of water runs near
both vines. We are not informed what
variety Of grape i bears.

BEAUTIFUL LEAVES.

Fading beneath our passing feet,
Strewn upon lawn and lane and street,
Beautiful leavesl
Dyed with the hues Of the sunset sky,
Falling in glory 50 silently,
Beautiful leaves!
Never TO freshen another spring,
Never to know what the summer may brinl
Beautiful leavesi
Withered beneath the frost and cold,
Soon to decay in the common mould,
Beautiful leayesi
So will the years that change your tint
Mark upon us their autumnal print,
Beautiful leaves
SO shall We fall from the tree of time,
Fade as ye fade in a wintry cline,
Beautiful leaves
But when the harvest oflif is past,
And we wake in eternal spring at last,
Beautiful leayesi
May He who paints your brilliant hue
Form of our lives q chaplet new
