CARE OF THE EAR-In his treaties on
Physiology, Hinton gives US to understand
that the passage of the ear does not require
clearing by US :; nature undertakes that task,
and in the healthy state ful6lls it perfectly.
Her means for clearing the ear is the wax,
which dries up into thin scales and peels off,
and falls away imperceptibly. In health, the
passage of the ear is never dirty, but an at
tempt to clean it will invariably make it so.
Washing the ear out with soap and water is
bad it keeps the wax moist, when it ought to
be dry and scaly, and makes it absorb dust.
But the most hurtful thing is the introduction
of the corner Of towel, screwed up and twist
ed around. This proceeding irritates the
passage, and presses down the wax and flakes
Of skin upon the membrane of the tympanum,
producing pain, Inflammation, and deafness
The washing should only extend to the outer
surface, as far as the fingers can reach.

household arrangements until she could again
attend to them herself.
Her fever continued through the day, and
Picciola prepared some simple remedies which
she had seen used in similar cases, and in
duced her to make trial of them. Towards
evening she became easier and dropped
asleep and her young attendant, seeing her
50 quiet, stole off to another part of the house
to attend to some necessary duty, leaving the
baby also asleep in bis cradle near his moth
er's bed.
It was q warm evening, and one of the
windows of the chamber was left partly open
to admit the air. The room, though on the
upper floor, was easy of access from the out
side, having sort of balcony below the open
window, supported by columns which formed
little porch underneath. Raymond had Of

A Glimpse of the war-A Midnight Raid by
Insurgents.


The Machias (Me.) Union publishes
the following letter, received by Miss
Susan L. Brown, of Machias, from her
sister, Mrs. Julia M. Garcia. The Gar
cha plantation was situated about four
miles from Sagua. The insurgents made
q raid about the middle of January, and
burnt one of the sugar houses, stole one
horse, and departed. 1t was hoped that
they would not return, and Mr.. Garcia,
with same seventeen hands, was busy
with his seasons work, having about 800
hogsheads of sugar nearly ready for the
market. The story of the second raid is
thus touchingly told:
SAGUA, Jan. "a, 1876.
My DEAR SIsTER-Now don't be frightened
when you hear what has happened to u.s. with
Thousands of others. We have been visited by
the insurrects and our house and plantation
burned with everything we had in our house.

Only about twenty or thirty negroes came,
afoot. They tied Desiderio and another white

our breasts, to kill us il we moved to save any
thing. First they killed my dog with shots and
stabs, for he defended himself until the last
moment. They then stole everything they

would not let him go until he gave me back d.,
but the other man they would not let go they
took him little way off and chopped off
his head. Oh. my God what night Of
horror Is there no one to hear, to see to
save?

something cannot be done. All the houses,

one is coming to town, and famine will follow.

please send me Bible when you can. l don't

a few days, no more. But nothing can be done
but patience
Don't think that we shall have to suffer for

longer.
We are all quite well. After we get settled

Marching to the Centennial.

While champion pedestrians of both
sexes are tramping their monotonous
rounds for pay and show, it is pleasing
TO learn of one practical and sensible
proposition to exalt the walking mania
to plane of usefulness. This PROPOSE
ton comes from the city of Green Bay,
Wis, or rather from the members of a
military company at that point-the
Green Bay Light Guards-who are dis
cussing the question of a regular march
to the coming Centennial Mt Philadel-
phia, distance of over ZOO miles. No
provision has been made by the Legis-
lature of Wisconsin for the transporta-
ton of the State militia TO the great
show, and this is why the Green Bay
Light Guards have about resolved to be
soldiers i'll everything that the word i'm
plies-marching to the desired point,
purchasing provisions and camping by
the way, as well as at the terminus of
their journey, just as the hardy soldiers
used to do one hundred years ago.
What better commemoration could there
be of Revolutionary prowess than this
What more fitting way to prove that the
physical strength of the fathers has been
transmitted to the sons2 None what
ever, and by all means let the Green
Bay Light Guards make their proposed
trip across the continent, and likewise
the other local militia of the West, and
so shall the world see that the blood and
muscle of 1776 is still marching on.

The Creamery System in Butter-Mak'
ing.


President Gooch, in his address to the
National Butter and Egg Convention, at
Davenport, Iowa, the other day, spoke
as follows regarding the advantages to
be gained by the creamery system
TIE creamery system should be encouraged
aud increased in the West. Fully two thirds of
the butter now made in the West nets less than
l6 cents per pound to the producer while if
manufactured on the creamery principle, would
net at least 25 to 80 cents per pound. This
system will be fully explained and its advan-
tages shown during our meeting here. In my
travels through Great Britain. France and Ger
many have seen and tasted the best grades of
butter that those countries produce. l state it
\ a. q fact. that none OF them produce finer but
y ter than that made in the creameries of New
Work State Illinois or Iowa. Merchants of
liverpool have said to me, why do you not
in the States increase your creamery system
You have too many different qualities of butter.
Your make of cheese brings fully 200 per cent
more in our markets to-day than ten or fifteen
, wears ago. and why should you not improve the
4 quality Of your butter in like proportion !!
Make standard quality that We can order from
America, and 20 know that we shall receive
goods that will command ready sale" L do
not know whether it is known to many Of you
that the American people pay higher price for
choice table butter than any butter-producing
country in the world. The finest butter was
selling in Ireland two week ago at SIC cur
rency England and Scotland. 34c; Germany,
32c France, SOC Denmark, SIC and in these
United States, Az to 45c. Our make of fine
butter is unequal to the demand. This calls
for a large Improvement IN the manufacture,
which the creamery system can secure, making
choice butter cheaper TO the consumer and al
the same time bring an increased revenue tc

MY DREAM.
-
Queer Rats i'm KENTUCKY.

There is married couple living near
here, in Larue County, who during their
engagement exchanged rings. The
bride-elect took off her ring at one time
and was never able to find it afterward.
She came to the conclusion that it must
have been carried away by the rats.
After they had been married about two
years they decided to clear the place of
the pests, and "a rat was found with the
identical gold ring around its neck. Its
head was as large as a full-grown rats,
but it's body was very small. 1t is sup
posed that an old rat had taken the ring
and carried it to her nest to adorn the
neck of her little darling. Nelson

Plea for Friendly Birds and Insects.

Mr.. Snyder's bill, which was intro
duced into the lower house of the Legis-
lature, 10 create Bureau of Agriculture
and Statistics, contains one important
omission. which, we hope, will be sup
piled. The bill sets forth that the pro-
posed Commissioner, among other
things, shall have under his special
charge the study of different insects that
are injurious to the various crops, plants
and fruits of this State and he shall, at
various times, as he shall deem it proper,
issue circulars rs to the probable mode
of their destruction. Tho bill should go
further, and require the Commissioner
to collect such information as he can, of
the insects, birds, etc., that befriend the
farmers by destroying noxious insects.
IL Is just as important that the friendly
insects should be protected, as that in
furious ones should be destroyed. The
bill, moreover, will fail in its mission,
If some provision is not made by which
the trifiing white man of the town or the
idle negro can be prevented from Great
ing the havoc he does among the small
birds. 1t is probable that, but for the
industry of the woodpeckers, one-fourth
of the corn crop would annually be
ruined by the worm that is found in the
end of the ear just as it is maturing and
yet one of these vagabonds on the plea
of "going a-hunting" will STAY dozen
or more useful birds in day. ANA
jority of our small birds are destructive
to insects that destroy crops or fruit.
They should have a Legislative protec-
ton. There are many insects that do
no harm themselves, but on the con-
trary prey upon the injurious ones. The
little lady-bug, for instance, destroys the
larvae OF the Colorado potato BEETLE, that
at one time threatened to ruin the whole
potato of the country. There are many
other insects just as usefnl to man. 1t
should be the duty of the Commissioner
to give the farmec information, by which
ne may distinguish found from foe.
He should also point out the means of
protecting the friendly insects. The
farmer and his boys, as well as field
hands, should know that the mantis is
friend, which destroys hundreds of in
furious vermin, and they will not then
crush him, when, with almost intelligent
look. he holds up his two hands in sup

reforms in the administration OF affairs,

not be 80 promptly iuaugurated as was
assured few months ago. 1t is there

ment that the Spanish question will in

A Discounted Drummer.

A Davenport runner got into trouble
at De Witt hotel not long ago. He
just lay down on the floor and stuck his
head into a stove pipe hole to observe
the movements of the occupants of the
room below him, man and wife, who
were preparing to retire. The woman
saw the Paul Pry and shrieked, and the
irate husband caught him by the hair
and pulled down through the stove ipe
hole, all but his feet. which wouldn't

never, peep any more, if his skin will
only grow on enough for him to Wear
