Mushrooms in the Ear.

1t was long ago discovered that every
parasite was troubled with other para
sites. The flea bites the dog, a smaller
bug bites the flea, and so on, Indefinite
ly. More recent Investigations revealed
the fact that many diseases were caused
by fungi, which is either inhaled, OF be-
comes attached to the body. Throat
diseases and catarrhal affections are
often caused in this way.
More recently it has been discovered
that the cavity of the human ear is a
most favorable place for the propaga-
ton of fungus growths. The fungi,
which is known by the technical name
Of aspergillus nigra, are perfect mush-
rooms, with whitish stalk and black
head. They are SO small that it re-
quires a microscope of power suffi-
Gent to magnify three hundred times to
render their forms clear and distinct.
The growth spreads around the walls of
the auditory canal and over the ear
drum, causing itching and dizziness of
hearing. The growth is strengthened
by the use of oil or water in the ear, and
there is no doubt but many of those who
suffer from dizziness of hearing are rails
ing a crop of mushrooms in their ears,
and their efforts to "soften the wax"
are the most potent means of increasing
the trouble, -N0ttre

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Melons, cucumbers and squaShes

An amateur botanist in Wisconsin is
said to have prepared 939 specimens OF

Weights and Measures: 1t may be
interesting to some housekeepers to
know that one quart of wheat flour, or
soft butter, Or of broken loaf sugar
makes pound; quart of corn meal, or
of best brown sugar, one pound and
two ounces; white sugar or powdered
sugar, one pound and one ounce; ten
eggs, one pound; sixteen large table
spoonfuls make one liquid half pint. A
common sized tumbler holds half gill.
Sixty drops make one tablespoonful.
"A Missouri paper notes that 1.-THE
sheep interest and the sheep-killing dog
interest are as antagonistic as fire and
water. The two cannot exist together.
One or the other must go. The sheep
is always valuable animal in every
section adapted to its nature and habits.
The sheep-killing dog is not valuable in
a community where sheep are kept.
When the domcsticated dog forsakes his
civilized habits and returns to those of
his ancestor, the wolf, he ought to be
treated as wolf. So far as he is a mid
night marauder upon the shepherds
flocks, he ought to be trapped, shot or
poisoned, in any way that is most con-
veniert to the sheep owner.''
ROOF Beer: For each gallon of water
to be used take hops, burdock, yellow
dock, sarsaparilla, dandelion and spike

hot add eight or ten drops oils of spruce
and sassafras mixed When cool enough
not to scald your hand, add two or three
tablespoonful yeast, half pint of moias-
ses or half pound white sugar. Keep
these preparations for as many gallons
as you wish to make. 1t is best to get
the dry roots, or dig and dry; you may
add other roots which you know to be
possessed of the qualities desired. After
all is mixed let it stand in a jar with a
cloth thrown over it to work about two
hours; then bottle and set i'll q cool

Repairing the Implements.

A tool or implement should never be
put away after being used, without be-
ing put into good condition and made
ready for the next seasons work. But
that is not always done, and when it is
not, the repairs should be attended to at
the first part of the season. In many
sections where the spring work is al
ready under full Roadway, it is now too
late to get the full advantage of fixing
up things, but the principle of better
late than never holds good. 1t is both
irritating and Improbable to use pillow,
cultivator, harrow or any other imple-
ment that is giving out every few days,
and, perhaps, does not work well any Of
the time. Under such circumstances
there is no better time than now to stop
and have the implement repaired. Make
a business of it. Look carefully over
everything, and if there is a bolt, or a
screw, or a nut or handle that needs re-
placing, have it done, and the trouble
and loss of time that it may save will
vastly repay the effort. Western Rural.

A physician says that exposure
plays secondary role in the production

counts it's by thousands.

Interesting Archaeological Discovery

NEW York, January 2.-The d'scov'
ery Of q deserted city sixty miles long,
cut out Of the rocky face OF a winding
cliff, rewarded the efforts OF the Steven
son Smithsonian Institution exploring
party during It's researches in New Mex
leo and Arizona the past season. This
is by far the most important find yet
made among the ancient haunts oil the
cliff dweliers. Some Of the houses con-
tain four or Ave dwellings, n on top
of the other. and on the plateau. above
the cliff, were found many ruins OF
temples Of worship built OF well.eut
square stones. A comparison OF the
collections Of pottery and implements
gathered in the cliti houses by the ex.
ploring party with those obtained in the
Pueblo villages strengthens the theory
that the Pueblo Indians are the degen.
crate descendants Of the once powerful
race that built the ruined cities Of the
plains, aud then, rstreating before some
warlike foe, carved out these singular
dwellings ON the sheer walls OF dizzy
~precipices, aud found in them. 1t may
be for centuries, both fortunes and
homes. Stevenson will q day be de-
| ciphsred and found TO contain the tragic
history OF the wasting away, by wars and
