THE FIRESIDE.
A Monkey Diary.


To-day he obtained possession of the
hcarth.brush, one of the kind which
has handle screwed into the brush.
He soon found the way to unscrew
the handle, and having done that lie
Immediately began to try to find out
the way to screw it in again. This
he in time accomplished at first he
put the wrong end of the handle into
the hole, but turned it round and
round the right way for screwing.
Finding it did not hold, he turned the
other end of the handle, and carefully
stuck it into the hole, and began again
to turn it the right way. 1t was, of
conrse, very difficult feat for him to
perform, for it required both his hands
to hold the handle in the proper posi-.
ton and to turn it between his hands
in order to screw it in, and the long
bristles ofthe brush prevented it from
remaining steady or with the right
side up. He held the brush with his
hind hand, but even so it was very
difficult for him to get the first turn
OF the screw to fit into the thread he
worked at it, however, with the most
nnwearying perseverance until he got
the first turn of the screw to catch.
and he then quickly turned round and
round until 1t was screwed up to the
end. The most remarkable thing was,
that however often he was disappoint-
ell in the beginning, he never was in
duced to try turning the handle the
wrong way; he always screwed it up
from left to right. As soon as he had
accomplished his wish he unscrewed
it again, and then screwed it in again
the second time rather more easily
than the first, and so on many times.
When he had become by practice
tolerable perfect in screwing and I'M
screwing, he gave it up and took some
other amusement. One remarkable
thing is that he could take So much
trouble in that which is no material
benefit to him. The desire to accom-.
plish chosen task seems Il sufficient
indueement to lead him to any amount
of trouble. This seems very human
feeling, such as is not shown, | believe,
in any other animal. 1t is not the
desire of praise, as he never notices

FARMERS ITEMS.

A correspondent of the Farmers
Reme,c, has practised during several
winters, the pan OF keeping apples in
dry sand, poured into the filled barrels
after storing in the cellar, and finds
it decided improvement" on any
other ever tried. the fruit remaining
till late spring "as crisp and apparent
as fresh as when first gathered. I He
does likewise with potatoes, and uses
the same sand year after year.
An experienced strawberry cultiva-
tor says that the Inconvenience Of hay
ing runners extended in all directions
may be overcome by setting the plants
in such position that they will run
in a given direction. He discovered
years ago, he says, that the strawber-
ry plant sends out runners in but one
direction, or from one side, and that
is the side opposite the old runner that
produced it. Hence, if the side ofthe
plant from which the main runner was
cut Is set toward the north the plant
will run to the south. Those who are
intending to set out strawberry beds
will we'll to remember this.
Last year farmer improvised a
small silo by sinking n molasses hogs
head into the ground in his barn eel
lar. He cut up all his corn fodder
with hay cutter, supposing he had
enough to fill about four hogshead, but
on packing found it wouldn't fill one.
He then bought ola neighbor as much
more as one horse could draw, and still
there was room. He then cut up the
stalks from a piece of sweet corn. and
with lot of rowen managed to fill
ihis hogshead. lie made close fitting
cover, and with a jackscrew set under
one of the floor timbers, pressed il
down as tight as possible. In the
middle of December he opened his
silo and fund the corn as sweet and
fragrant as when put in. From The
hogshead he fed one COW half a busheI
of ensilage morning and night for two
months, and considers it the best pro
ducing food that can be fed. This
year he proposes to fill the hogshead
with oats cut just as they are in the
milk. If silo on so simple plan
is practicable, there is certainly nc
reason why everybody should not have
one, and satisfy himself of the value
of the ensilage system.-Nash"a 7ete

MARDI GRAs sUGaEs IONS.

A correspondent, in letter of some
length, asks how it is that New Orleans
could afford to spend such large sums of
money as it did upon its recent Mardi-
gras festival. It was simply business
transaction, viewed from one standpoint.
The people spent $500, 900 in providing en-
tertainment for 1000 visitors, who left
behind them in the city 81. 200, 000 bal
ance in favor of the investment, 81, 900, 600.
But from another standpoint there was
other profit. 1t cultivated "the impulse

cars and fanciful tableaux on moving plat

no cities, great or small, ard no people,
rich or poor, but are better fitted for return
to labor by occasional holidays. By ju-
dicious expenditure of 5000 this city
might each year put money in it's pocket
and add to the healthful entertainment of
the people by some demonstration that will
attract strangers to spend half week with
us in hearty recreation. San Francisco,
by securing the assembly of the Knights
Templar there next August, will realize
not less than 81, 900, 900 cash to herself
and half as much more to other portions of
the State, besides affording the people a

TREATMENT AND CyRE.

Having shown the widespread and pernicious in
iuenee exerted b. Catarrh over the entire animal
economy and the diversity of forms in which it may
manifest ITSELF it will be apparent to all intelligent
observers that its treatment and is matter of
the highest consideration, requiring thorough famil
arty with the disease in all its forms, coupled with
Judgment and skill that can only be acquired by
wears of study and large practical experience. In
this connection may here be pardoned in saying
that among educated physicians | was the first in
this or any other country to devote my attention to
the study and investigation of catarrhal diseases,
and the happy results which attended my labors
have been atrested by multitude OF patients
The method of treatment pursued is as scientific
az it is rational and successful. By the aid of an
appropriate apparatus Of my own construction the
affected cavities are thoroughly illuminated, and
their condition so clearly brought to view that the
exact seat and nature of the disease be distinctly
seen and plainly recognized. In this manner. and
by means of variety OF ingenious appliances, the
uedicaments, in the shape of liquids sprays, gases,
vapors or powders may be required, are conveyed
directly to every portion of the affected surface with
the most gratifying results and without causing the
least rain or distress So effective is this plan Of
treatment that single application Is often preduc.

diminishes Inflammation subsidies, alterations are
made to heal, morbid growths are removed, irrita-
ton is allayed, the mucous membrane is once
more restored to a healthy condition, and perma-
nent cure is finally effected.

TIE NEW COMMISSION.

The Civil Service Commission will soon
be heard from. It must not be looked to
for too much at first, We must NOS ex.
pect it to early accomplish great things. It
is well composed. Dorman B. Eaton is the
father of civil service reform in this coun.
try, and his appointment on the Conimis.
sion was wise in the highest degree. he
is en- eager reformer, and man of broad
ability. If he proves too radical at the
outset, of which there may be some danger.
as there is to all pioneers of reform, he will
be held in check by ]. NJ. Gregory, of Hi
nois, and L. D. Thoman, of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Gregory is man of fine abilities, of
cool Judgment, clean character, and has not
been mired in the mud of mere party po-
litical scheming. Mr.. Thoman is your
man who has served with distinction on
the bench, has not been an active poll.
tician, and is held in nigh esteem in his
native State. All these men are removed
from the influences of the managing poll
ticians, and are not likely to now submit
themselves to them. The country has
reason, therefore, to congratulate itself,
and to look for good work from this Com.
mission, which has political and historical
significance in the annals of the republic
of the first Importance.

GuRAL CArARRH-DEAFNEss.

Catarfh is one of the most frequent of deaf
ness This fact is fully recognized by all aurists OF
direct public and professional attention to its timely
removal. The late DR.. Ed. NJ. Curtis, who was SO
munity. in a paper read bafo.e the Medical soci-
ETY. Of the State of California, in 1873, entitled
How We Become Deaf" gives as his experience
that at least pinetenths Of all the cases OF trouble
of hearing that he had seen this coast had been
from this one source-that very prevalent and an
moving disease Catarrh- which has variety Of
causes and assumes a number OF forms" and
his experience is fully corroborated by my
own. Scarcely any one afflicted with Ca
tarrh for any length of time has acute or abb
solutely normal hearing With some the hearing
suffers at first only by spells, the ears becoming OBJ
structed with each accession CT cold but by degrees
the spells of deafness occur oftener and last longer
until at length the hearing remains permanently
impaired In others the deafness commences
insidiously and increases slowly but gradually
until all useful hearing is lost. Occasionally the
aural Catarrh becomes aggravated through cold or
other causes, when an acute Inflammation in the ear
may be set up. resulting in earache pain and subse
ouent discharge from the ear. Noises in the head
of every conceivable description are also apt to
make their appearance adding materially to the ex-
listing distress.

PHAEmACSUrIc FRAUDS.

We have before called attention to
pharmaceutic frauds. They are of greater
extent than the masses suppose. Recent
reading of various reports from different
countries show that the adulteration of
drugs is rapidly increasing. 1t is never
pleasant to take quinine, but if one must,
he does not, for instance, like to learn from
the Medical Ne,cs that out of seven sam.
pies had at Philadelphia, of as many drug
gists, nineteen per cent were found to be
badly adulterated-that is, the weight fell
short, and the loss was made up by nine
teen per cent. of adulteration. In Phila.
delphia, it is charged, the apothecaries
frequently use cheap substitutes for genu-
inc medicines in costly prescriptions. No
wonder that the doctor finds his remedies
will not produce the desired result, and
that patients die. The physicians at the
East threaten to return to the saddle bags
days, and supply their own medicines.
Speed the day, for then men will be assured
that our blue mass and our black draught
will be the straight" and genuine.
American manufacturers of drugs must
le.-a TO be honest, else by the memory Of
the ancient. days of the old.time family
doctors, people will all cease being sick,
and the druggists business profit viii take
unto itself the wings of the morning.

NERVOUS pERANGEmENEs.

Catarrh being located 60 close to the nerve CENTER
the brain, almost invariably exercises pernicieus
influence in that direction, and this we find daily
verified in our practice. Evidence to that effect
maniiests itself in the impairment loss OF smell
and TASTE which so often takes place, as well as in
defective power of attention, weakness of memory,
and general enfesblement of the mental faculties.
The patient cannot accomplish his usual mental
tasks without pronounced and painful effort, and
finds persistent attempt to concentrate his atten-
ton or to follow fixed line of thought productive
of headache, dizziness confusion of ideas and ex-
cessive fatigue. Al times he finds himself COM
petely disqualified for any occupation requiring the
active exercise of his intellectual powers.
