According to Dr.. III. Augustus Wilson,
q very common cause Of deafness is the
hardening Jf wax in the ear, and the un-
scientific plan that people adopt for It's
removal. They generally succeed in max
ing Il bad matter worse The ear is not
50 eXQuisltely sensitive TO the presence of
foreign matter as the eye, and hence
those who work at the ear with hairpins
and tootnpichs are likely to iniure them
selves irreparably. Only the softest ma

ION Of wax then blocks up the ear tube
still more. An injudicious attempt is
then made to remove the wax bv intro
lucing, perhaps, a match end, pin

moving pushes down the wax and packs
it against the tympanum; or by a sudden
draught or the act of swallowing the wax

and loss of hearing Immediately ensues,
because the membrane can no longer vi
brate. The removal Of the wax is in some
cases, especially those Of long standing,
somewhat difficult; but with gentle treat
ment and patience may finally be accom-
plished and the hearing fully restored.
The best ordinary means for removing
wax, when not badly compacted, are half

IN an ounce of water, applied lightly by
means of bit Of absorbent cotton or

A report issued by the Agricultural
Department contains some interesting
facts concerning the potato crop The
acreage planted in 1850 was about the
same as in 1879, but the yield shows a
decided falling off compared with that of
the latter year. The yield per acre in
1880 Was 81 bushels against $50 bushels
III 1879 and 69.9 in 1878. The average
value as returned on Dec. |, 1880, was
nearly is cents per bushel. The total
product of 1880 is 16S, ,3s5,99o bushels,

Burning Green Wood Greatly Wasteful.

Water passing into vapor absorbs and

Of green wood produces just as much heat
as cord of the same wood dry. In burn
ing the dry wood we getnearly all the heat,
but in burning the same wood green, from
one-half to three-fourths of the heat pro-
duced goes off latent and useless in the
evap0rating sap or water. Chemistry
shows this, and why, very plainly. There
fore get the winters wood for fuel or kind
llngs, and let it be seasoning as soon as
possible, and put it under cover in time
to be dry when used. 1t will, Of course,

OF about two tons to the cord, of which
nearly one ton is water or sap. Such
wood affords very little useful heat it

saving of hauling it home to dry is evil

40 SoOu dS lllt COuplt Sol uIlutI lut
shadow Of the wall of Notre Dame, Hardy
placed Sophronia's arm within his own.
She did not object. He entertained her
marvellously well. His knowledge of the
world was extensive and his education
good. She began to think he was an
angel in disguise.
At the end of the bridge there stood a
bill board When the two passed this,
and were well on the bridge, a shadowy
form, scarcely perceptible in the dark
ness, emerged from behind this board and
crept noiselessly after them. This sneak
ing person carried a club in his hand.
Stepping rapidly behind Hardy, he raised
his deadly weapon and brought it down
with heavy blow on the young mans
head. There was dull, crashing thud,
and Hardy sank with groan. There
was slight contraction OF the muscles
a gurgle, and all was quiet.
The girl heard the blow and saw her
defender stretched at her feet. She was
instantly rendered powerless and speech
less by a sckening terror. Immediately
a powerful and brutal hand closed on
her throat, stopping her breath. Other
shadows emerged from the darkness, a
dozen strong hands seized her. and before
she had time to offer resistance that would
have been useless, gag was thrust into
her mouth, half choking her.
SO intently had the highWaymen been
engaged in rendering the girl helpless
and robbing her of her iewelry that they
did not perceive Hardy stagger to his feet.
He was dazed and uncertain The blood
poured down his face and saturated his
shirt. A glance at the struggling form
brought him slowly to his senses.
"Has she any money!" demanded a
grutf voice.
II can't find any,"
"Take these rings off her fingers. God
how she struggles Isn't that watch
Snail on to it. Pull out those earrings
quick"
Cant don't know how they are fas-
tened.7
Clear 'em out, then-you and hurry
At the moment when the robber grasp
ed the earring to pull it rudely through
the tender flesh, heavy club descended
crashing upon his shoulder. Hardy was
awake. He had seized the club, which
had dropped upon the bridge and was
welding it with a merciless desperation
that the only protection of so precious a
charge could have inspired. The robbers
turned upon him-five in number.
Quick as a cat, and before they could
recover from the surprise of an attack by
a man who, to all appearances, had been
killed, he felled another with a heavy
blow upon the head. The remaining
four rushed upon him before he had time
to raise the bludgeOn again, overpowered
him and bore him down. The club was
wrenched from his grasp after desper-
ate struggle, and laid with deadening
blows and with terrible effect upon his
face and breast
One Of the rutfians drew a knife to
plunge into Hardy's breast, but the young
man struck it from his hand, seized it
and drove it into the throat of the near
est robber. This man fell with a gurg-
ling noise, strangling with blood. Hardy
struck about him wildly with the knife,
and the robbers sprang away to escape
the cruel steel.
