A Bug in the Ear.

DROWN HIM IN OIL AND BE QUICK ABOUT IT.
Writers say when bug gets into the ear do
dot be frightened, but drown him with oil or
warm water. There is no philosopher, remarks
DR.. J. Herbert Claiborne, jr., in the Medical
Classics, who could sit unmoved with bug or
fly stamping tattoo upon his ear drum. Yes,
be frightened, for it will facilitate your move
ments. Sweet oil is perhaps the best thing to
keep him from moving-that is the first desid-
eratum. The oil, by its thick consistsnce, will
80 entansle and bedragsle its legs and wings
that the intolerable noise win be stopped. II
oil be mot at hand, use any liquid that is not
poisonous or corrosive. Water win probably
be within the reach of every one. This il also
more liable TO noat him out, too, than either
sweet oil or glycerine.
It has been suggested to blow tobacco smoke
into the ear to stupefy the insect. We cannot
indorse this advice; tobacco smoke blown into
the ear Of Q child has been known TO cause
alarming symptoms. When the movements of
the intruder have been arrested, syringe the
ear gently with warm water. All manner Of
insects and bugs have been found in the ear.
but you can never tell in given case who The
rude caller is that ID knocking At the door Of
your brain till You have him out.

Dead Kittens as Decorations.

Lady Vaudeville has delighted half dozen
OF her feminine friends on this side of the water
by sending them each large photograph of
her beautiful self. She has also caused shiver
of surprise to each one, because the frame of
each photograph Is adorned on one side with a
six-inch7l ong kitten, dead and stuffed. The
kittens are only few days old, and all belong
to one family. They are provided each with
bead-eyes, and their tiny claws are grabbing
the plush on the frames. Mrs. w. X. Wander
bilt, Mrs. Frederick Vanderbilt, and Mrs. Rob
erts are among the recipients. It is quite the
fashion in England to adorn photograph frames
with tiny pugs and kittens, birds and owls, real.
dead, and stuffed, 80 do not be surprised II you
chance to see the Prince Of Wales photo
adorned by tiny pug-dog placed at one side.

Mistaken for q Tramp.
From the Lewiston Journal

DR.. Dunning laughs at joke that befell his
friend, Rev. Edward Everett Hale, not long
ago. DIR. Hale was making one Of his long Pc
destrian tours through rural region, and be-
came very hungry. Calling at the door of q
farm house, he asked the woman if she would
let him have something to eat. She looked
over his tall, robust figure and then answered
in slightly contemptuous tone: eyes; I'll give
you something to eat; but a man as big and
strong and as able to work as you are ought to
the country!'

From the Epoch.
He was a new conductor on his first trip.
As the car passed the corner handsomely
dressed young woman nodded her head gra-
ciously.
The new conductor tipped his hat with the
utmost politeness, and turning to passenger
on the platform, said:
"Hows that for a mash, eh?'
''She wanted you to stop the car, replied the
passenger.
''Bgosh," exclaimed the new conductor, 81
never thought of that. 1t may turn out q
smash instead of a mash"

A National Anthem Wanted.

A writer in the Pittsburg Dispatch says: "On
the steamer coming from England the other
day at the close Of the usual concert given in
the saloon young lady Of American birth es-
sayed to sing The Star spangled Banner.
She had pretty voice and her intentions were
doubtless patriotic, but unfortunately she did
not know the words of the anthem of America.
In the chorus she became completely tangled
up, and one verse was properly deemed sufi-
Gent. But 1t was still more painful to notice
that out of over 500 Americans present not a
single individual had the words of the chorus
OF The Star Spangled Banner by heart. Lots
OF them knew word or two here and there.
but not one knew all the chorus Then sCIod
Save the Queen was started. and the corporal's
guard Of Englishmen and women in the saloon
sprang to their feet and sang their national an
them with enthusiasm and accuracy. The fact
is, though some may deny it, we have no dis
tinctive and universal national anthem in this
land, where we have so much to be thankful
for. There are any number Of songs of the
soil and stirring war ditties, but there is abso-
lutely no anthem in which the people North.
South, East and West heartily Join in singing.
Every state, and often every city and county In
the state, has its favorite patriotic air. The
people are warmly attached to these songs. but
as they are merely sectional in sentiment Il ia
impossible to call any Of them strictly national
to-day.

MIR. MARTIN, the democratic candi-
dote for governor of Kansas, wishes to
enter into joint debate with his OPP
ponent, Mr.. Humphrey. Private Joe
Fifer. - republican candidate for gov
ernor of Illinois, wishes to enter into a
joint debate with his democratic oppO-
nent. General Palmer. Both requests
have been refused. But in KansSs the
democrats shout themselves hoarse in
calling Humphrey Il coward" because
he does not change all his plans to
please his enemies. In marked con-
trast is the action of the Illinois repub-
publicans, who cheerfully admit that
General Palmer has right to conduct
his own business as best suits himself
and his party friends. 1t ill-becomes
such small fry as the pin-headed dem
ocratic editors of Kansas to charge q
man who has the soldier record
of Humphrey with cowardice.
This is especially applicable
to the editor of the plate sheet in EN-
pOria, and the one of even smaller cal
ibre in Lawrence, aged forty days
which devotes nearly column of slust
headed The COwards,'' to an article
on this subject.

GOVERNOR FORAKER, in his Rich
mond, Ind, speech, gave the sham
civil service reform record Of President
Cleveland a terrible excoriation. "He
has appointed to Office" said Governor
Foraker, ''1S7 men who have been in
dicted and convicted of crime. Two
of them were murderers, five OF them
were duelists, seven of them were
forgers, three of them were rioters, q
number of them were keepers of houses
of ill-fame, number of them had com
mitted frauds ON the revenue service, q
number of them had been guilty OF
petty larceny, one Of them had been in
the workhouse for. stealing q dog, a
number of them had been convicted OF
robbing mails and postofiices, and one
of them was appointed to take charge
OF pOstOfIice while yet in Jail for hav-
ing robbed it. Almost every crime
known to the law is named in the list
of crimes committed by these APP
pointees.''
