victoria's Fortune.

Her Majesty possesses an immense
fortune. The estate at Osborne is at
least five times as valuable as it was
when it was purchased by the Queen
and Prince Albert about forty years
ago. The Balmoral property of her
Majesty now extend over &c, 000 acres.
Claremont was granted to the Queen
for life in 1866, with reversion to the
country; and her Majesty purchased
the property outright three years ago
for G78, 900. Probably its marked value
is not much under 9150, 900. The Queen
also possesses some property at Coburg,
and the Princess Hohenlohe left her
the Villa Hohenlohe at Baden, one of
the best residences In the place. With
regard to personal property Mr.. Nield
left the Queen over 9500, 600, and the
property left by the Prince Consort Is
believed to have amounted to nearly
e600, 600; but the provisions of his will
have been kept strict secret, and the
document has never been proved. The
Queen must also have saved q vast
sum out Of her income, which has al
ways been very well managed. Since

Queer Things In Ears.

A boy not yet twelve years old is al
most weekly visitor at the New York
eye and ear infrmary. "Well," said
the aurist, as he saw him come in rs
usual one afternoon, what have you
got in there this time?" 'Nawthin
but bean" he drawled. The boy had
fallen into the bad habit Of putting such
things into his ears as shoe buttons,
pieces of slate pencils and wads of pa
per- The aurist recently met with
remarkable illustration of this PERM
cious practice, which he related to re-
porter of the New York Times:
A young woman of twentyt three came
to me so deaf that [ could hardly make
her hear by shouting through a trum-
pet. After removing a great quantity
of wax from her ears found something
metallic.
whats this?0 said. ''Have you
been putting something in your carp"
ooh, dear, no, she said. 81 am not
so foolish as that"
Imagine her surprise when l pulled
out a round smooth button, with quite
a large shank to it. "This seems to
have been in there great many years, !"
I said. To my surprise the young WON :
an crouched il the corner in undis-
gTlised terror.
90 doctorl" she said; "what is that
awful noise?"
It was nothing but wagon rumbling
by, but instantly saw what the trou-
l. Inx t,o II nv.
NAL when | removed that button, and
she was frightened and bewildered at
the tumble of confusing sounds.
The ticking of the clock, chirping of
the canary, or dripping of water dis
tressed her and the rustic of her own
silk dress made her start with fear.
[ sent one of the assistants home with
her in a carriage, and he said that the
cIatter in the streets 50 distracted her
that he was compelled to hold her IN her
seat. About week afterward she came
in again
"And wanted that button put back
again, [ suppose?" interrupted the re-
porter.
Oh no; she was trimming over with
happiness, though for day or two she
was afraid to leave the house. But she
told me about that button.
when / was about eight years old, +"
she said, II was sent to the village
church in New England with my grand
mother. The sermon was always long,
and / used to amuse myself by pulling
at the brass buttons on my coat.
Zone of them came off one Sunday,
and [ occupied my time with putting it
in my ear and shaking it out again.
Suddenly felt it sink away in there,
and I could not get it out.
II was afraid to tell my grandmother
at the time, and soon afterward forgot
it. At ten years of age I began to grow
deaf, and have been getting worse ever
since, but l never once thought of that
button until YOU removed it. :"

A Million Deaf Mutes.

Pittsburg Dispatch 1t is merciful
provision of nature that when one of the
five senses is lost, the remainder be-
comes much more acute. Thus the man
that is deaf usually finds his sight and
memory strengthened. Particular at
tention has been paid in recent years to
those afflicted with deafness. The
number of deaf mutes in the world is
roughly calculated to be from 700, 1000
to 100000. and of these 60 per cent. are
said to be born deaf, and others losing
their hearing through different acct
dents. The number Of deaf mutes in
Great Britain is probably about 1000.
To meet the educational wants of these
there are on the face of the globe 397
institutions, containing 26, 473 inmates
of both sexes, and employing over 2 900
teachers.

AS many people love flowers, but say
they have no ground to spare for them,
we would like to tell that it needs very
little space and little care to have quite
variety and much enjoyment from the
sweet treasures. In the door yard we
had woodpile Of loose sticks and what
ever of rubbish is common to every
family, like old boxes and pieces of bar
rels and bits of cast off articles in the
wood line. so one day, four years ago
last spring, we picked it all up and
packed it in a smaller compass. and or
dered four pieces of narrow board nine
feet long and four feet wide, and then
driving four stakes in the ground, and
with about half dozen nails attached
boards to the stakes, forming the frame
work of an enclosure for the plants, the
whole costing the sum Of fifty cents.
This has been used four sea-
sons, and looks good for anoth-
er, which will make the expense
not more than ten cents a year. The
earth was strongly impregnated with de-
cayed wood and with some loan of rot
ted sods and few pailfuls fwood ashes,
well worked together, and all was ready
to set in the plants. The result has
been a success every way. Each season
It has presented different scene from
any other, and has charmed every one
who has seen il.
Look at it this year, 9Th of August,
and see what it contains. First, there
are fourteen geraniums of different
varieties, one of Happy Thought, occu-
plying the center, covered with rich
trusses of bloom, then five pots of cac-
tus, one Coral Begonia which is per-
feet gem, one large bush of double pur-
pie Petunia, another of single white,
one pot containing grapevine, seven
years old raised from a seed of the White
Malaga, which is as handsome as an
Abutilon five inches of Canterbury Bell
two colors; two Carnation Pinks, one
Feverfew, one pot of China vine, five
lunches of Bergamot, and at one corner
a bush of NORWOOD, kept for the beau
ty of its finely-cut leaves, which exceed
many choice plants in its snowy, light
green; fifty bulbs of Gladiolus just bud
ding and coming into bloom scattered
here and there to fill spaces; one Eng
ish Ivy; pansies showing their faces in
every little opening where they can
catch the sunlight; two or three morn
ing glones running over the tops of the
tallest plants and giving their rich frag-
rance in the early part of the day; four
caster beans and one bunch of sweet
williams, with a few smaller plants that
it is scarcely worth while to mention.
The whole forms one dense bouquet,
filling the air with perfume, and is the
most attractive spot in the yard. Every
year it has been a source of enjoyment
purer and sweeter than could have been
procured with so little expense in any
other way, and no one need dispair who
can find space four feet by nine, that
perhaps otherwise would be taken up
by rubbish, for with little care and ex-
pense they viii be well rewarded. We
write this out to encourage some to try
IL for themselves.

Twas when the sunset Pushes
Gilded the dear old home.
When twilight's solemn bushes
Babe holy memories come,
We fingered, fondly turning
Toward the spot We loved 50 well,
With sad and tender yearning,
To say our last farewell
No more for us the garden
And loved wreathed rooms TO roam;
The stranger there is warden
No, no, tbs not his homel
1t hath no memories bringing
For him joy kin 10 pain;
For him no echoes ringing
Shall bring the loved again
Sweet home. dear homel oerhowing
With preeions memoriesl
Not life in all It's going
Shall bring more blest than these.

As then, when sunset fell,
Youth gilded thou forever
