The recall OF the two Arctic signut
parties, one Of them at Point Barrow
in Alaska, and tho other at Lady
franklin Bay, will be task Of tho
coming summer. 1t was originally
intended that these stations should be
kept UP until the year 1884, so that the
results of their observations might bo
compared in all respects with those OF
the rest of the international chain OF
stations Of which they form a part.
But last year an attempt to reach the

RAT IN ABOTTLE.

"A rat was recently caught by a youth
full hunter of North Second street, who
earns many an honest penny by selling
his prizes to Mr.. ellis, the serpent
charmer. The latter fixed u large box
in such a way that tho animal could
not escape, and, putting Mrs. Rat in
side, he carried her new abode down
stairs. The next morning five little
rodents were huddled at the side OF
their mother. \ couple Of weeks pass-
ed, and the captive family were all In
a tiourishtng conditions; but one eve
ming their owner noticed that the moth
er had gnawed a small hole in the side
OF her prison, and, on counting the
progeny, he likewise perceived that
one of the infants had escaped. 'n bT=
81 nailed n piece oftin over the hole"
said Mr.. ellis, s'and, was about leaving
the cellar when l heard n squeaking
noise in Il lot of beer bottles In a corner
Of the cellar, and saw in one my young
rat. The little fellow had jumped into
tho neck Of the bottle and couldn't
CLINE out again, the sides being too
slippery, l suppose. Curious to SEQ
what the mother would do, I placed
the bottle containing the young 'un In
the cage, in snch way, however, that
it could not be knocked over. 'l152"'s
"l4atter in the evening I went to sec
how things were getting on, and l
found that several pieces of food had
been dropped down tho neck of the
bottle by the mother. After another
week had passed, the young rat had so
increased in size that oil chance ofits
leaving its caystal dungeon was pre-.
cluded, and SO liplaced the bottle or
one side so that the mother could feed
her little one more comfortably. She
had evidently taken the best care OF 1t,
for 1t isso fat that ii can hardly turn
around. H'.
''I was puzzled for some time rs to
how he got his drink, but ono day ap-
preached cautiously and found the old
rat busily engaged in dipping her tail
in the saucer OF water aud showing 1t
down the neck of the bottle for tho
young 'un to suck. OF course, tho

Care for the Ear.

We do not think that most people suf-
fciently realize the importance of caring
for the ear.
In another article we have referred to
the lifelong sufferings of the celebrated
Dean Swift, due to simple cold taken
before his twentieth year. In his case
there were ringing in his ears, deafness,
headache, nausea, vertigo or giddiness,
with staggering gait. But there are
multitudes of cases in which the trouble
is confined to simple deafness, slight at
first and hardly noticed, yet steadily in
creasing with years Every winter
thousands lay foundation for it. The
part affected is what is called the "mid.
die ear"
It is sometimes ipflamed by cold air
striking continuously on the outside, lust
behind and below The ear, or penelra.
ting the open cavity. Fashion, which
sends young children from overheated
rooms into the winds of winter with the
ears wholly unprotected, is responsible
for many sad cases.
When there is "cold in the head"
(nasal catarrh) the inflammation often
extends to the eustachian tubes
(the tubes that convey air
to the middle ear), and
thence into the ear itself. Sometime,
the tkroat and the back of the mouth
(pharynx) are infamed, and the inflam-
nation spreads upwards in the same
way. An Inflammation is often thus ex-
tended from the nostrils to the ear by an
improper blowing Of the nose. Ore

well, and rub them through sieve. To
a pint of the juice add half a pirt of
good cream; make it very sweet;
freeze it in the usual way, and when be-
ginning to set, stir in lightly one pint of
whipped cream, and lastly handful of
whole Strawberries sweetened. Put it
into mold and imbed in ice. Or, when
fresh strawberries cannot be obtained,
there is no more delicious cream than
that made with the French bottled straw
berries. Mix the juice in the bottle with
the cream, and add the whipped cream
and the whole strawberries, when the

cream, sweetened and favored with va

over it chopped almonds, dried, of q

Cutting Heads Off.

You probably know that, in Berlin,
when they wish to deprive criminal Of
his life they cut him in two at the neck.
The executioner that wields the sharp ak
is called upon to exercise his functions
on an average about once month. His
name is Krauts, a mild-faced old fellow,
with soft, gentle voice, dandy man
ner, and white hands, and on these oc-
casions he usually smokes a cigarette.
He has four assistants, quartette Of
cruel, hard-looking men, whose duty il
is to strip the victim. In the case under
notice the culprit was suffering the ex'
treme penalty of the law for no less a
crime than the murder OF his wife and
two children. When he had been strip
ped to the rndershirt, the collar ofwhich
was cut down to the level Of
his shoulders, his feet pinioned, and his
hands tied behind him he was led out
and his head placed upon the block. In
the meantime Krauts, the executioner,
had stood among the few spectators Of
the scene, quietly putting his cigarette,

back from the temples and double puffs
at the back. The Queen ofSweden style
is in steel.gray hair, = few ringlets on the
forehead, a large, loose water-wave in
front. and Grecian coil of medium height
tapering off narrow Ito the neck. The
Princess of Germany style has crimped
front drawn backward, light, fluffy ring

neck.

Hons and How to Grow rhem

The average price of hops is from Is
to 25 cents pound. They have been as
low as six cents, and as high as $1.05,
but both these cases were exceptional.
At 25 cents the crop is considered a
profitable one. About the only consul
mers are beer brewers. The New Eng
land Farmer says soil suited to Indian
corn is adapted to hops. A deep, warm
mellow loan is what the crop delights
in, and if the field is partially protected
from winds by hills or trees, all the bet
ter, as exposure to severe winds is fatal
to success. The subsoil must not be
over wet. A hard pan, holding water
late in the spring is very detrimental.
Hop roots live in the soil many years if
the soil is SUITED to their growth, the
tops only being killed in the. fall Prepare
the land as for corn only make it deeper
and richer. The hop has the male and
female blossoms on separate vines, and
like some Of our strawberries, requires
setting with an understanding Of this
fact. Eight male plants, distributed
equally through the field, will be suffici-
ent If they are trained on long poles.
The plant may be grown from seeds, but
cuttings from well-known desirable va
rieties. A bushel or two of roots, cut
into.lengths Of five or eight inches with
two or three good buds to each cutting,
will be enough for setting an acre. The
hills are usually made eight feet apart
each way, care being taken to mark the
rows out In exact squares to facilitate
after cultivation. -Four cuttings are
enough to each hill, placing them in q
square, in the middle ofwhich the poles
are afterwards to be set, though some
planners set the poles the first year, and
season. The land should be as well
cared for the first year as corn
field. indeed, it is allowable to plant
corn in the intermediate spaces the first
year. as it will not materially injure the
growth of the vines. Vines that stray
from the poles will need tying till they
get a good hold. Coarse, unfermen-
ted manure is unfit for putting in the
billie when the roots are planted, but
such manure thrown upon the hills in
the fall to lie through the winter, will
both enrich the soil and protect the
plants from too severe freezing. The
manure must be raked off in the spring
and the ground kept cultivated and free
from weeds as dnring the first year,
through the cnltivator must not be run
deeply enough to cut and injure the
roots. The time to harvest will be indi-
Gated by the condition of the seed and
the color ofthe burr. If picking is be-
gun too early the vines will bleed like
grape vines cut in spring, and more or
less to their Injury.

In-breedinC IN Pigs

On the subject of breeding in pigs

the pigs were born blind and ne gave up

offspring of inbred pigs are weak and
hard to raise. There is no task so hard
in stock breeding as to fix types in pigs,
on account Of the damage in in breeding
and the difficulty of establishing uni

A Famous War Horse.

The following interesting incident
comes from Kentucky: In 1862 John II.
Whalen, kentucky boy of fourteen
years, who had been in the confederate
service for year. got possession of a
nine-year-oid mare, which he christened
"Maggie Lucas" He joined Morgan's
raiders and rode Maggie through all the
campaigns in the south and his raids
through Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky,
and was beside him when he fell at
Greensville, Tenn. AT the close of the
war Mr.. Whalen surrendered at Mount
Sterling, but in order to save Maggie he
left her in the country and walked into
town to give up his arms, This was
atterward found out and he was arrest
ed and Maggie confiscated. Finally he
lost sight Of her and mourned her as o
dear departed friend. Two years ago
he found her in Portland, a suburb Of
Louisville, and gave the negro who
Owned her $25 and a side-saddle for her.
She recognized him as soon as he spoke
and followed him like dog. Having no
place to keep her, he sent her to farm
five miles out from Louisville, where he
pays $50 year for her boarding. She is
now thirty.four years of age, and if she
lives till next June she will be taken to
the Morgan reunion at Lexington and
when she dies her skeleton will be . pre-
served.

and Velvet That Comes Still Higher.
From the New York Evening Post.
Beautifully fine, all-wool fabrics, in
most delicate evening shades of lilac,
almond, turquoise blue, crushed straw
berry, pale willow green, sea-shell pink
and primrose are shown, designed for
the sssmartest" of ball or reception toi-
lets. French cashneres in pattern box
es are exquisitely hand painted or en-
broidered and require no other trim
ming Unmade these pattern dresses
cost 800 and an imported dress of the
same material made up over surah costs
$3.50. But very much less expensive
and equally artistic and beautiful toilet
can be produced with the plain fabric
in monochrome, simply adorned with
rufhes and drapings ofcream- white lace.
Some of our own toilets, made of this
material, have bodices of silk or brocade,
of tint matching the cashmere skirts,
but this is a mistake and should be made
as French woman makes her dresses,
With the bodice also Of cashmere.
French women are more likely to make
their bodices of cashmere even when
the shirts are of silk, RS they know the
material can be made to fit like glove,
and they use it whenever and sherever
it is in keeping with other portions of
the dress.
A costly novelty in lingerie is grace
ful collar of black velvet or satin, cut in
vandyke and richly embroidered on the
deep points with tiny clusters Of dark
red roses and buds and black poppies
with golden hearts. The edges are fin
ished with slightlygathered rufties of
black gu'pure lace, with a pleated frill
about the neck of the lace. These collars
are worn without yestige of white
around the throat. Other collars in the
same style for evening wear are made of
white satin or embroidered in white
beads and finished around the points
with frills of pearl-5eaded Venetian
lace.
