The Care of the Ear.

Only the softest materials and the
gentlest pressure should be used in
cleaning the ear 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 the distance Of twenty
eight inches the hearing is good. Each
ear should be tested separately. Noises
in in the head, sometimes ringing, re
quently are due to hardened wax in the
ear. Sudden deafness is sometimes
caused as follows: A small mass Of wax,
from il1-health or uncleanliness, be-
comes hard. A continued secretion Of
wax then blocks up the ear tube still
more. An iniudicious attempt is then
made to remove the wax by introducing,
perhaps, a match-end, a 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 mem
brane, and loss of hearing Immediately
ensues 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 means for re-
moving wax, when not badly compacted,
are half drachm of sodium carbonate
dissolved in an ounce of water, applied
lightly, by means Of bit Of absorbent
cotton or sponge attached to suitable
handle. When the wax is much COM
pacted it may be softened by means of
water, quite warm, and syringe.

WIN They Often Fail.

Young men often fail to get on in the
world because they neglect small oppor-
t11nities. Not being faithful In little
things, they are not promoted to the
charge Of greater things. Ayoung man
who gets subordinate situation some
times thinks it not necessary for him to
give it much attention. He will wait
till he gets place of responsibility, and
then he will show people what he can
do. This is very great mistake. What
ever his situation may be he should
master it in all its details, and perform
all its duties faithfully. The habit of
doing his work thoroughly and consci-
entionsly is what is most ikelyto en-
able young man to make his way.
With this habit, d person Of only ordinary
abilities would outstrip one Of greater
talent who is in the habit Of sighting
subordinate matters. But, after all, the
adoption by young man Of this great
essential rule of success shows him to be
possessed of superior abilities.

From the Pyramids.

The view is immense. At our feet lie
the countless tombs OF Egyptian Kings,
whose names have passed into oblivion,
and whose very bones were stolen thou
sands Of years ago. The Sphinx seems
but common rock, though it rears it's
head sixty feet toward US from near the
pyramids base. Off yonder are the
pyramids of SAX Karah, the metropolis
Of ancient Memphis. Beyond them
all to the west Of us is the desert,
sweeping away for trackless leagues.
To the east is the Nile, with its valley,
like variegated ribbon, disappearing
toward the south as it winds behind the
sand covered hills. And there Cairo rises
like ga dream in stone," its citadel
picturing before us the drama of Saracen
conquest and cruelty for 1000 years.

The one of the two executed, who

Pretty? A matter OF taste;
i ween there be roster cheeks, Tom;
Perhaps, too, an ampler waist
But what do you need with the earth, Ton,
When hemisphere fills the bill?
IT'S the idiot calls for Niagara,
When happiness turks in gill.
Remember the Titan Danae;
That girl in shower of stars?
Got lions physique-it alarms me
That she isn't behind the bars
I'd like to see Jove, the Immortal,
Aroused from an afternoon nap,
And brought face to face with the problem
Of holding that girl on his lap!
Then look at the Angelo frescoes;
There isn't sea-Gog that swims
But would leap at the flattering prospect
OF owning such mastodon limbs.
And what Of the Venus de Milo?
Respects to the classical dame,
And-my wish that the rascal who found her
Had broken a third OF her frame.
There might, III the ages agone, Tom,
Before men attended the club,
Be demand for these muscular females
To govern their lords and the tub,
And to WELD in the gardens primeval
The earlier weapon OF toll,
With the music Of beasts TO enhven
The sun at its midsummer broil;
Ere the arts of the corset and rouge, Tom,
Had sent TO their pioneer grave
These hideous demi-god models
That brighten, though never can save.
But what we need now is a creature
OF meekness and delicate size;
Say pounds just hundred and ten, Tom,
When you talk Of the capital prize!
A being exquisitely gentle,
Combining the rose-leaf and qneen,
Who will not settle down on your knee, Tom,
With the force of a frstmortgage lien.
You don't quite agree with my notions?
Ahl well, one competitors gone;
You swear by the elephant pattern
And IN be content with the fawn.

THE FOUNTAIN OF TEARS.

If you go over desert and mounfain
Far into The country of sorrow,
To-day, and tonight. and tomorrow,
And maybe for months and for years,
You shall come with heart that is bursting
For trouble, and toiling, and thirsting-
You shall certainly come to the fountain
At length-to the fountain OF tears.
Very peaceful the place is, and soiey
For piteous laInenting and signing,
And those who come living or dying,
Alike from their hopes or their Tears;
Full Of cypress-like shadows the place is,
And statues that cover their faces;
But ont Of the gloom springs the molly
And beautiful fountain Of tears
And 1t flows, snd it flows, with I; motion
SO gent e, and lovely, and listless,
And murinurs q tune so resisteis,
To him who hath suffered, and hears,
You shall surely, without word spoken,
Knee down there and know your hearts broken,
And yield to the long-curbed emotion,
That day at the fountain OF tears
For it grows. and it grows as il leaping
Up higher, tine more one is thinning,
And ever its tunes go on, sinking
More poignanty into the ears;
Yea, so blessed and good seems that fountain
Reached after dry desert and m ountaln-
You shall fall down at length in your weeping
And battle your sad face in its tears
Then, alas while you lie there season,
And sob between living and dying,
And give up the land you were trying
To find ind your hopes and your fears.
o the world shall come up and pass DER you;
Strong men shall not stay to care for You,
Nor WONDER indeed for what reason
Your way should seem harder than theirs.
But perhaps while you lie, never lifting
Your cheek from the wet leaves it presses,
nor c-ring 10 raise your moist tresses,
And look how the cold world az pears;
o perhaps the mere silences round you.
All things in that place grief ha tn found you,
Yea, cen to the clouds DER you drifting,
Nav soothe you somewhat thro1 ugh your tears.
You may feel, when a falling leaf brushes
Your cheek, as though some one had kissed You,
Or think. at least, some one who missed you
hath sent you a thought, if that cheers;
Or little birds song, faint and broken,
May pass for q tender word spoken;
Enough. while around you there PUSHES
That sife-drowning torrent Of tears.
And the tears shall flow faster md faster,
Briln over and battle resistance,
And run down bleak roads to each distance
OF past desolation and years,
9ill they cover the place of each sorrow-
And leave you no past and no morrow
For what man is able to master
And stem the great fountain of tears?
But the floods of the tears meet and gather
The sound of them all grows ike thunder,
0 into what bosom, wonder,
is poured the whole sorrow Of years?
For Eternity only seems keeping
Account of the great human weeping.
Nay God, then, the Maker and Father,
May He find place for the tears!

Wherever dairying is practicable, it
should by all means be conducted by as
ISOLATED effort in factories for cheese, OF
creameries for butter. The housewife
should not be taxed to take care of the
milk from several cows, working it up
into what must almost necessarily be an
inferior product to that of a well-con.
Quoted creamery. With every appli-
snce, and the greater skill which ought
o be commanded in creameries. the pro-
duct is well worth the advance it COM
mands over the best home made butter.
The great bulk of butter made in farm
ers' homes is much poorer than it should
be. The milk is almost ALWAYS exposed
TO unpleasant odors from the cellar, and
too often is set in the cellar, surrounded
by all kinds of fruits and vegetables in
varying stages of decay. From these,
the creamery house is or should be free.
But the most common cause of poor but
ter is sheer neglect-allowing milk or
cream to stand too long. not thoroughly
cleaning pals or pans and churning the
resultant bitter or mouldy cream. From
the abominable character of most of the
butter sold at groceries in cities and vii
lagos, l am satisfied that revolution in
butter-making would be effected iffarm-
ers' wives would resolutely throw to the
pigs such parts of the cream as had acct
dentally or otherwise become too old
before churning. Better still would be
more care to prevent such result. The
poor quality of winter butter is not the
result of the dry feed altogether, but
mainly because the milk is kept in close
rooms, exposed to bad odors, and in win
ter is almost always kept too long before
it is churned. Many housewife can
make good butter from two or three
cows, requiring churning to be done
twice week, who will fail if the cream
is not churned oftener than once in eight
or ten days. When cream is ..bitter'' tc
the taste, throw it away; for this bitter.
ness is due to mould, which is poisonous,
