REMEDY FOR DEAFSEss.-Drop three or
four drops of glyccrne in the ear before re-
firing at night; in the morning syringe the
ear with warm water, and continue this prac.
tice faithfully for some time. The deafness
and singing often result from collection of
wax on the tympanum or drum of the ear,
and the glycerine has the effect to loosen it,
while the water removes it: l have known
this experiment to be successfully tried on
persons eighty years old, when the hearing
would naturally be very imperfect.

MAKE FEED RAcKs-A stormy day i'm :
proved by making few racks to hold hay
and fodder for cattle, sheep and horses, will
return large profits before summer comes, in
saving the feed from being trampled under
foot and in the mud, and thus wasted and
destroyed. Plenty of feeding racks about
the barn-yard is an evidence of a careful
painstaking farmer-and only such can make
anything now days. 1t is not those who
make the most that thrive best, but it is those
who save the most of what they do make.
The secret of success is in saving all that can
economically and wisely be saved.

Music Hath Charms.

Some time ago Mr.. L., young man OF
good habits, saw and was struck with the
appearance of Miss F., and became very
much inspired to win her affections. Miss
4. was a strict Methodist a great singer,
and believed in doing everything in way OF
the righteous. Was never out of her place
10 church doings, and was always found
among the workers. As first step to-
wards acquaintance i. was always TO be
found at her church and joined in singing
the hymns with a zeal that could not be
excelled by Miss f. herself.
The acquaintance ripened TO friendship,
and it was not long till l.. asked the privi-
lege to call and spend the evening with her.
She was
almost Persuaded"
He insisted, and she consented. He
went, and after having been quite atten-
tive for some time tn Miss F., who smiled
encouragingly, Mr.. l.. slyly gave her kiss.
She resented, cried Indignantly. '1mperti-
nence," etc. He thought that was mere
prudishness, and that pertinacity was nee
essary, sang the hymn
more to Follow"
This did not alleviate her affectionate an
ger. He knowing the force of Accomplishments,
sang
"How Beauteous are thy Feet"
She pouted. More compliments neces-
sary.
Glorious things OF thee spoken"
Miss +. was then amiable as ever and
thereafter suffered tokens Of attachment
with grace. When he was on his way to
spend an evening with his intended he
could be heard visiting
Come my soul, thy suit prepare
And she would sing
behold the Bridegroom cemeth.n
After proper time Mr.. L. went one
evening and lovingly sang, as he drew hel
TO him
II need thee every hour"
She responded
"Draw me nearer"
They then sang together
"Blest be the tie that binds"
Embracing the opportunity, Mr.. J.. deli
cately said
Abide with me-
Miss f. was
fully Persuaded"
being reassured by the hymn
"Tis my happiness here below"
She sang with intense tenderness, cling
ing fondly aud firmly to the object of he
devotion
Forever here my rest shall be-"
After a just period they sang the hymn
ITO thy temple well repair"
After having entered reverently, dis
creetly and soberly into that which is hon
orable among men, Miss E. was heard sing
ing mildly and timidly-
Before my Lord bow"
While L., in that pure Christian content

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites Of the toilet a good
article of Soap but to procure 1t IL not always an
easy matter. Many Of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleterious
materials and their delicate cOlorng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsiye I'M
purities. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this SUI iect are positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable, especial

ting the scalp, and inducing headaches. The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from

pere ons engaged in this employment were short
lived from seven TO ten years being the longest
period during which the occupation could be fol-
lowed.
The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is at last Obviated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr..
B. It. Babbitt, Of New York the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer. whose immense establishment
Is by lar the greatest of the kind In the United
States. The renown of Mr.. Babbitt'e various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated, but this latest success is the appropriate
crown 10 the numerous victories already achieved.
After years Of patient labor and scientific expert
ment Mr.. Babbitt has succeeded in perfectnG the
composition of the firest toilet soap ever intro
duced. The principal Ingredients are the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely and original, and the result Is simply
| unparalleled in this department of industry.
a''B. T. Rabbits Toilet Soap" is the trade mark
by which this elegant toilet luxury Is designated,
and for applications to the delicate skin of infants
children and ladies, it is altogether unequaed In its
emollient properties. This soap Is not perfumeo,
the ingredients being of such absolute purity to
require aid from chemistry to disguise inferior
materials. The most refined taste considers the
| absence OF artificial perfume the perfection OF
sweetness and this peculiar characteristic of B. Il
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders It the most healtbful
and agreeable article of the kind ever manufae.

Eagle Anvil Works |
Established 1e43.

Established 1881
Made at the Oldest Anvil mandatory in this
country. All English Anvils, after time, become
following on the face by continued hammerine in
nse on account of the brons nature of the wrought
iron-causing 1t to settle" under the steel.
But the body of the Eagle Anvil being of crys
tallized IRON such settling cannot occur; and the
steel face therefore remains perfectly true. Also
1t has the great advantage, that being of more
SOLID material, and, consequently, with less re-
bound, the piece forged receives the FULL effect
OF the hammer. instead of part of it being wasted
by the rebound, as with wrought iron Anvil.
More work can therefore be done on this Anvil
with hammer one-ffth lighter than required for 9
wrought iron Anvil which is more elastic.
The working surface is in one piece of JEssoP's
