A FOOLNARpY ATTEMPT
To Decide Dispute Results In the FoOpl
Death.


Death.
BUFFALO, N. Y, June PA week
ago there was a dispute as to the relative
heights of the steeples of st. Mary's
and st. Michaels Catholic churches.
One OF the parties to the discussion was
Cherries Sullivan, and he volunteered to
decide it. This afternoon he procured
d couple Of spools of wire and at 3:l0
o'clock made the attempt, He went up
rapidly aud without obstacle until he
nearly reached the foot OF the cross at
the apex OF the tower when the rod
broke and he fell headlong distance Of
100 foot. He struck the roof, breaking
through the tin with which the roof is
covered. His death was evidently in
Simultaneous, as the victims neck and
back were broken.

OUT OF THE WAY.

An effort has also been made by the
blaine people to get Foraker to stand as
a dark horse and Foraker has been
willing enough to do it, and has posed
before the convention with that purpose
in view on distinct understanding
that II the anti.BIaine influence could
be induced to rally about him Blaine
was to beat him, but the Vice Presi'
dency being his reward. An effort has
also been made to play upon the am
bition Of Mckinley, but without success.
Mckinley has been loyal to Sherman.
An effort is also being made to bring
Collum forward rs a dark horse, thus
destroying Gresham.
The anti Blaine leaders are not in ig.
norance Of these adroit tactics. At one
moment on Saturday there was some
pretext Of the Mckinley programme

Danger In Sea bathing.

Sea bathing is a common, but often
unsupported, source Of injury to the sense
Of hearing. People should always be
careful how they wash their ears at home.
In this operation, simple though it may
appear, and harmless as it is in other
respects, portion of the fiuid-small it
may be-passes into the outer passage Of
the ear and becomes lodged there, as it
is difficult matter to dry this passage,
especially in the inner half of its extent.
The water which thus remains is grad
ually removed by evaporation and alb
sorption. and chilled condition of the
passage results, highly conducive to in
flammation of the part, and subsequent
impairment Of the organ Of hearing. To
obyiate this danger stop the ears with
oiled wool.
Bathing in the sea is dangerous in
other ways for old people, for very young
children Especially before the first denti-
ton has been completely, for persons Of
full habit of body, for those whose circu.
lation is weak or irregular or who are
suffering from heart disease, chronic
chest affections, disorders of the brain OF
nervous system, or local accumulation
Of blood, such as heinorrhage from the
nose, lungs. etc.-IIome journal.

AL though there are dozens Of me
thods for preserving eggs, yet but
few of them are worthy of notice
LINED eggs have been almost I'M
salable this year, and the lime me
thod win soon be discarded. We
give below few rules that win en-
able our readers to preserve eggs in
a good condition for at least three
months though eggs have been kept
as long as six months by the pro-
cess.
l. Always use fresh eggs and do
not rely on those from your neigh
bor You must know that every
egg is fresh. as one stale egg may
injure all.
2. Use eggs only from hens not in
company with cocks, as such eggs
will keep three times as long as
long as those containing germs of
chicks.
3. Keep the in cool place-the
cooler the better. Anywhere near
40 degree above zero will answer,
though 60 degrees viii be cool
enough for few months. Only be
careful that eggs do not freeze.
A. Turn them half over three
times a week, to prevent them from
adhering to the shells. The turning
of the eggs is very important, and is
one of the secrets ofsuccess.
5. No packing material is neccs
sary. Simply lay them ON racks or
shelves though if preferred they
may be packed in boxes, in dry
oats, and the boxes turned.
6. Solutions, greasing that eggs,
egg preserving preparations, ETC., are
unnecessary, as some of them in
jure the appearance Of the eggs.
7. Wash every egg clean before
placing it with the others.
If the above rules are followed
there will be no difference between
the eggs SO preserved and those that
are fresh. No person can succeed in
preserving eggs who buy them from
all sources, and who does not know
just when every egg was laid, and it
is on that point so many failures
occur. You can place any depend
ence on eggs except from your own
hens. Even your neighbor is some
times unable to prevent getting a
stale egg in among the fresh ones.
Never use stale eggs, or allow sitting
hens to be in a room with layers.
The greatest care should be exercis-
ed, and the eggs kept always cool.

The oak is tree celebrated in mythol-
ogy and folk lore. Many of the events
Of the early Jewish history are connected
with ii, and the oak of Shechem, the
oaks of Bashan and other trees Of the
same kind seem to attest the Importance
of this tree It was even more impor-
tant to the Druids, who venerated it and
its parasite, the mistletoe. Mysterious
properties were sometimes accorded to
oak trees. In one part OF England ague
was cured by passing the sufferer under
an oak branch that had taken root in the
ground. Near certain cross roads In
Hertfordshire stood an oak which was
approached TO effect a cure for the same
malady. This was done by pegging a
lock Of hair into the tree and wrenching
it from the head.
An old German law forbade any one
from cutting down on oak tree. Tho
oak and the hazel were said to be ON bad
terms, and could not agree. In England
this prohibition seems formerly to have
included other trees. r. $. Bassett in

Popular Education.

We sympathize with the feeling
which often leads citizens to boast
that no child born in this country
need grow up in ignorance, and yet
it il fact that many people who
have learned TO read and write have
never taught themselves to think. A
man who has suffered from catarrh,
consumption, bronchitis, scrofula, or
''liver complaint" might read, till
his eyes dropped out, how these and
many other diseases have been cured
by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, but if he did not take the
lesson to himself and test the virtues
of this great medicine, his time
would be thrown away.

Of Malaria Disorders. We have not
known a single case Of chills dumb

cure, when taken in strict accordance

cases a single box is sufficient to cure,
but in long continued cases when they
have returned again and again, more
is required. AS tonic to build up the
broken down constitution produced by
over exertion, fevers, &c, these pills
