OPENING THE CARwINDo".
The Experience a Gallant Man Goes
Through in the Effort.

Maybe man feels happy and proud and
fattered and envied and blessed among men
when he sees pretty girl trying to raise
window on railway car, and Le jumps up
and gets in ahead of the other boys and says:
ALLOW me?' oh, so courteously, and she
says, "Oh, if you please l would lie so glad,'
and the other male passengers turn green
with envy, and he leans over the back OF the
seat and tackles the window in a knowing
way with one hand, if peradventure he may
toss it airily with a simple turn of the wrist,
but it kind of holds on, and he takes hold
with both hands, but it sort of doesn't let go
to any alarming extent, and then he pounds
it with his fist, but it only seems to settle q
"leetle closer into place." ana then he comes
around and she gets out of the seat to give
him fair chance, and he grapples that win
dow and bows up his back and tugs and pulls
and sweats and grunts and strains and his
hat falls off, and his suspender buttons fetch
loose, and his vest buckle parts, and his face
gets red, and his feet slip, and people laugh,
and irrevernt young men in remote seats
grunt and groan every time ne lifts and cry
out, Now, then. altogether" as if in mock
cry, and he bursts his collar at the forward
button, and the pretty young lady, vexed at
having been made so conspicuous, says in her
iciest manner, "Oh, never mind, thank you !;
it doesn't make any difference" and then
calmly goes away and sits down in another
seat, and that wearied man gathers himself
together and reads a book upside down-oh,
doesn't he feel good, just? Maybe he isn't
happy, but if you think he isn't don't be fool
enough to extend any of your sympathy. He
doesn't want it,

The Care of the Ear.
| Scientific Americ an.


Only the softest materials and the gentlest
pressure should be used in cleaning the ear
In recent clinical lecture DR.. Wilson gives
in popular form, some very useful and prac-
tical information touching the removal of
ear-wax If the ticking of watch can be
heard at distance of % inches the hearing
is good Each ear should be tested separate
ly. Noises in the head sometimes ringing,
are due to hardened wax in the ear Sudden
deafness is sometimes caused as follows: A
small mass of wax, from ill-health or un-
cleanliness becomes hard. A continued secre-
ton of wax then blocks up the ear tube still
more. An in udicious attempt is then made
to remove the wax by introducing perhaps,
match-end, q pinhead or penholder, which
instead 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 membrane
and loss of hearing Immediately ensues be-
cause the membrane can no longer vlbrate.
The removal of the wax is in some cases,
especially those of longer standing, some
what difficult: but with gentle treatment
and patience may be finally accomplished
and the hearing fully restored. The best
means for removing wax, when not badly
compacted, are half drachm of sodium car
Donate dissolved in an ounce of water, ap-
piled lightly, by means of a bit of absorbant
cotton or sponge attached to a suitable han
de- When the wax is much compacted it
may be softened by means of water, quite
warm, and a syringe.

What Lettuce to Plant.

There are great many kinds of lettuce,
some with the leaves smooth Or plain"
while other sorts are 'curl-leaved." Of the
"plain-leaved" varieties there is, perhaps no
better early sort than "All the Year Round"
The "Curled Simpson" and "Silesia' are the
best OF the curl-leaved varieties for a gener-
al crop. The Boston Market is now almost
exclusively used for forcing in frames and
greenhouses it is very much like the old
"Tennis Ball." though with hard, larger
and better head The new sorts should be
tested only in small quantities, always re-
lying on old, well-known varieties for the
main crop. By succession of sowings,
constant supply of this excellent green food
may be had from early spring until midsum-
mer, or until its place is filled by other vege-
tables from the garden.

Resisted.

One must detest the atrocity of tempting
a vicious appetite by bribes, as much as one
admres the fidelity that resists and conquers
it. A hack drivers resistance to temptation

Pointed Shoes.

: great beau of the time of VIM. Rufus,
called Robert the Horned, wore shoes with
long points stuffed with tow, and twisted in
special form. The fashion took the fancy
of the people of that day immensely, and the
points increased yearly until the reign OF
Richard IT,, when they had to be tied on the
knees of the wearer, that he might not be
encumbered in walking. This tying was, in
the case of gentleman, by chains OF silver,
or silver-gilt In Chaucer's time the upper
part of these shoes was cut to initiate
church window The rank of the wearer in
those days was known by the length of his
poulaines. "The men," says Paradin. wore
them with point before half foot long ;
the richer and more eminent persOnages wore
them a foot, and Princes two feet long" BY
an act of the reign of Edward ", the absurd
length to which the points attained, was linn
tied and no one under the rank OF LORD
was to wear shoes more than ten inches long
and all cobblers making them were to be
fined and cursed by the clergy.

Dinner.

Brooklyn Union.
While Mr.. Beecher is away, his two broth
ers. James and Thomas X, fill his pulpit
The former is hermit of the Catskils, and
has been induced to come out into civillza-
tion and take charge of the Plymouth Bethel
but he doesn't like it, and he is going back
to his hunting and fishing and preaching in
the wilderness. He is modest eloquent
man, with firm convictions of the right, and
he feels that his field of labor is among the
backwOodsmen, who would not hear the gos-
pei if he did not preach it to them. One
Sunday he was due to preach i'll certain
vicinity, and lumberman got word on Sum
day morning that he was expected to enter
tain the preacher. His wife had no meat in
the house, and she sent her boy out to kill a
Ewoodchuck. The boy ran the animal into
pile OF stones, and as he was trying to get
him out Mr.. Beecher rode along. The boy
did not know him, and Mr.. Beecher did not
wear the clothes of clerical cut designed to
advertise preacher. He asked the lad what
he was doing? The boy looked up, and after
shuttle, said ''Parson Beecher's coming to
our house to-day and as we haven't got no
meat my mother sent Inc out to kill q wood
chuck, and I've got one under here
But, my son." said the preacher, don't
you know that it is sin to work Oh Sunday,
and that if y0n do you will go to hell?"
Darn it, mister" said the boy, impatiently
Sunday or no Sunday, hell or no hell, we've
got to have some meat for Parson Beecher,
and now if you'll help me get away this stone
I'll get at the woodchuck and kill him."
Then the rider confided to the youth that
he was Parson Beecher, that he had no taste
for woodchuck, and did not care about meat
at that date. The boy gave long, low
whistle, and went kitting home, while Parson
Beecher rode slowly along the road, and ar
rived just in time to quiet the good house
wife's concern about the absence of meat for
dinner and the failure of her boy to get the

AT BAY.

She turned from his pleadings; her womanly heart
Grew strong as her white lips refused him;
She knew that his passionate prayer was part
Ofthe play that so long mad amused him;
She knew that her name had been sported, the jest
OF his frivolous friends; and the coward
Had boasted of wounding her innocent breast,
He! whom that love had endower'd.
You could tell by the coorless lines of her face,
By the proud nostril's trcmulous quiver,
The fathomIess scorn of her soul, till the grace
OF her wrath made him tremble and shiver.
And yet she had loved him. had lived in the
Light of his tenderness, till life was gadness;
Till soon DER the buds of her joy came the blight
Of his cowardly folly and madness.
Aye, madness! for never till now had his pride
Felt the sting of pure woman's scorning,
His wealth and his beauty by virtue defied
His lifes night been lit by truths morning.
Aye, folly for priceless the wealth of that love
She had poured through his heart like river;
For he knew now the treasure he priced far above
All on earth was lost to him forever.
So he knelt at her feet and with passionate words
Besought her to pity and save him;
And her beautiful eyes grew as soft as a birds,
As she turned and in sorrow forgave him.
But never again could the broken shrine send
Up the incense of purest devotioiI
No never again could her lifes streamlet blend
With the wreck -burdened waves of his ocean.
She turned from his pleadings; her womany heart
Grew faint as her white lips refused him;
She felt his passionate prayers were no part
In the play that so long had amused him;
She pitied, forgavc all his folly and sin,
And she left him in sadness aud sorrow.
Oh sacrificed heart, may the darkness within
Grow bright in the glow Of tomorrow.

GOethe,s HeartlessnesS.

Goethe traded in the loves of women
women whom he had attached to him by his
powers of fascination when he had no
woman in his heart" says his latest biograph-
er, 'he was like dissecting surgeon without
a subject. He said of Balzac that each OF
his best novels seemed dug out of a suffer
ing woman's heart Balzac might have re-
turned the compliment" In reference to his
early fondness for natural history, Goethe
says: II remember that, when a child,
pulled flowers to pieces to see how the petals
were inserted into the calyx, or even plucked
birds to observe how the feathers were in
serted in the wings" Bettina remarked to
Lord Houghton that he treated women in
much the same fashion.

Mercy.
[St. Crysostom.

mercy is dear to God, and iintercedes for
the sinner and breaks his chains, and dissi-
pates the darkness, and quenches the fire OF
hell, and destroys the worm, and rescues
from the gnashing of teeth. TO her the gates
of heaven are opened. She is queen of the
virtues, and makes men like to God, for it is
written, BE ye merciful, as your Father
which is in Heaven is merciful.' She has
silver wings, like the dove, and feathers OF
gold, and scars aloft, and is clothed with the
divine glory, and stands by the throne of
God when we are in danger of being con-
demned she rises up and pleads for us, and
covers us with her defense, and folds us in
her wings. God loves mercy more than
sacrifice"
