THERE is fair prospect that Irish mat
ters will soon cease to attract a great deal
of public attention. The government being
endowed with ample power cannot escape
responsibility for permitting the continu-
ance of agrarian outrages, whatever may be
the pretence therefor; and the land-leaguers
are too wise to precipitate an armed conflict,
which can have but one ending There
will be earnest protests and eloquent apos-
trophies to the maid with the Phrygian cap,
but happily, no bloodshed.

What Wedding Costs in New York.


The trousseau, which, after all, is the
largest item, rests altogether with the means
OF the parties, but when the cost of a baby's
baptlsmal trousseau runs up to $4,000 as
has occurred on occasions this winter, it
may be concluded that, even with the great
est economy, fashionable trosseau requires
the expenditure of not less than $25, 900 and
ten times that sum is not an unusual figure.
The attire for the ceremony, the white sat
in, brocaded or not, with bridal veil, orange
blossoms, and toilet accessories, may ex-
elusive OF laces and jewels--be procured
for $500. It is thus, with the most exact
and rigid supervision of items in every d.
rection, question of expanding from ST.
600 to $4,000 to give ones daughter in
marriage according to the canons Of good
society. '.@.

The Care of the Ear.

Sclentlhc American.
Only the softest materials and the gen.
TEST pressure should be used in cleaning
the ear. In a recent clinical lecture DR..
Wilson gives, in popular form, some very
useful and practical information touching
the removal of ear-wax. If the ticking of
a watch can be heard at the distance of
twenty eight inches the hearing is good.
Each ear should be tested separately.
Noises in the head, sometimes ringing, are
due to hardened wax in the ear. Sudden deaf
ness is sometimes caused as follows. A
small mass Of wax, from i'll -health or I'M
cleanliness becomes hard. A continued Sc
erection Of wax then blocks up the ear tube
still more. An injudicious attempt is then
made to remove the wax by in
Producing, perhaps a match end, a
pinhead or penholder, which, in
stead of removing, pushes down the wax
and packs it against the tympanum or by
sudden draught or the act Of swallowing the
wax is suddenly pressed upon the men,
brane, and loss of hearing immediately en-
sues because the membrane can no longer
vibrate. The removal of the wax is in some
cases, especially those Of longer standing,
somewhat difficult; but with gentle treatment
and patience may be finally accomplished
and the hearing fully restored. The best
compacted, are half a drachm of sodium
carbonate dissolved in an ounce, of water,
applied lightly, by means of a bit of absorb
ent cotton or sponge attached to suitable
handle. When the wax is much compacted
it may be softened by means Of water quite
warm, and a syringe.

The Death OF Carlylc.

past was almost complete, although the failure
of his mental power began but recently He was

among the last who saw him. Mr. Froude was
at his house daily until the end, and will

Moncure Conway has also much biographical
material, with records of conversations. 1t is
understood that Dean Stanley wishes that Car
lyle should be buried in Westminster abbey,
but he preferred his own native Scotland.
