The Care of the Ears.

Never put anything into the ear for the
relief of toothache.
Never wear cotton in the ecrs il they
are discharging pus.
Never attempt to apply a poultice to
the inside Of the canal Of the ear.
Never drop anything into the ear unless
It has been previously warmed.
Never use anything but a syringe and
warm water for cleansing the ears from
pus.
Never strike or box n child's ears; this
has been knownto rupture the drum head
and cause incurable deafness.
Never wet the hair if you have any
tendency To deafness; wear an oiled silk
cap when bathing, and refrain from div
ing.
Never scratch the ears with anything
but the finger if they itch. Do not use
the head Of a pin, hairpins, pencil tips or
anything Of that nature.
Never let the feet become cold and
damp, or sit with the back toward the
window, as these things tend TO aggra-
vate any existing hardness Of hearing.
Never put milk, fat, or any oily sub
stance into the ear for the relief Of pain.
for they soon become rancid and tend TO
-incite Inflammation. Simple warm water
will answer the purpose better than any
thing else.
Never be alarmed il a living insect en-
tiers the ear. Pouring warm water into
the canal will drown il, when il will gen.
orally come 10 the surface, and can be
easily removed by the fingers. A few
puffs Of tobacco smoke blown into the
Nal will stupefy the insect.
Never NEEDLE with the ear If a foreign
body. such as a bead, button or seed, en-
tiers it; leave it absolutely alone. but have
n physician attend 10 it. More damage
has been done by injudicious attempts at
the extraction o. Il foreign body than
could ever come from its presence in the
aar.-Health and Home.

CALIFORNIA; Biggest Orchard.

California has some big orchards, and
the largest Is in the Suisun valley and is
owned by A. 7. Hatch, president Of the
California Fruit union. Mr.. Hatch has
200 acres in pear trees, $50 in peaches,
20 in apricots, 10 in nectarines, 30 in
almonds, 40 in cherries, 100 b plums
and prunes, besides 40 acres of currants
and eooseberries, and hundreds Of lemon
and orange trees. OF these acres 500
bore fruit this season TO the amount Of
1000 tons, which brought the owner
800, 600. He calculates that when the
whole orchard is in full bearing ii will
produce 5000 tons Of fruit, worth $780,

Comnosition of an Acrolite.

There was on exhibition at the Texas
state fair a large aerolite which was
found among the Comanche Indians by
State Geologist Raester in 1858. The
Indians had known of the stone for
generations by tradition as the thunder
stone" and said it had fallen from the
sky. They were accustomed to visit it,
where it lay partially buried in the earth,
TO whet their knives and arrow points
upon its sides, believing that their
weapons thereby acquired magic power.
An analysis of its composition shows it
to consist in parts: Iron 1878, nickel
TO- rs. cobalt 1854, and the remainder
bronzite, which contains silica, alumina,
,fotoxide of iron, p~rutoxide Of manganese,
and traces of magnesia, soda, potash and
chromium. The stone is extremely hard
and takes a fine polish. New York Sun.

How Some Men Write.

Bancroft uses a typewriter and stem
ographer, but he thinks $50 words a good
DAYS work, and James G.. Blaine thought
he was doing well when he accomplished
1900 words Of a morning. One Of the
fastest writers among the public men OF
today is Admiral Porter, whose brain
works like the wheel of a dynamo throw
ing of sparks at every turn, and whose
pencil rushes across the paper at almost a
Geographic speed. Admiral Porter wrote
his history of the United States navy in
eleven months, and during this time his
average was at least 10000 words a
month, or nearly $500 words a day, in
Guiding Sundays. The book is as big as
a dictionary and it contains from 200, 900
to 500, 900 words. During many Of these
days he did not write at all, and his aver
age during his working period ran as high
as 5000 words a day. Admiral Porter is
fond Of writing. He never uses anything
now but a lead pencil, and he says he
cannot think well without he has his pen
Gil in his hand. He had a slight attack
Of pen paralysis once, and his hand re-
fuses TO act whenever his finger touches
the steel of the pen. He began his novel
writing for amusement, and he wrote
"Allan Dare" without any idea that it
would be published, much less dramatized.
He stands up while writing, and, when
he becomes interested, he works right
along for hours at a stretch. George Ban
croft works only in the morning. Blaine
did his best work before noon and Logar
worked both morning and evening"

A WonderfuI watch Dial.

A gentleman connected with an Illinois
watch company has wonderfully curious
watch dial. Instead of the Roman nu-
merals t. denote the hours, there are eleven
small but very distinct silhouette figures,
representing q man out with his dog for a
DAYS sport. At 7 O'Clock he is seen start
ing out with his gun and dog; at 8 O'Clock
he makes a shot; at 0 O'Clock he has a
sandhill crane, which measures as long
as himself; at 10 o'clock the man and his
dog are scared at the sight Of a jack rab-
bit, which is sitting upon his hind legs,
with his big long ears raised above the
bushes: at IL o'clock the hunter takes a
drink, and while in this attitude the dog
sits in front of his master, with his nose
pointing directly at the flask; at IL o'clock
the sportsman is seen sitting on q stump
and is eating a lunch-the dog is cycling
the piece of bread which the hunter has
in his hand.
At 1 o'clock he starts out to fish the
rest Of the day, and so he takes his dog
and fishing tackle and goes to the water;
at 2 o'clock the dog, which is behind his
master, has been caught with the hook
by an attempt to throw in his line; at 3
O'Clock he and the dog are all Strengthened
out again and the line is in the water; he
has both hands on the pole, and his foot
braced on a stump by the water edge as
though he had a tremendous bite; at 4
O'Clock the man has got a big fish on his
line, which has pulled him off his feet,
and he falls on the dog and doubles him
all up, but the man is holding fast to the
pole, which is bent almost double; at 5
O'Clock he is all Strengthened out again; his
pole is thrown across his shoulder, and
with his fish in the other hand he starts
out for home, the dog following behind
with his heaS hanging down, being tired
out. The mans name is also painted in
the center of the dial I'm rustic letters.

MISSION oF The CIRCUS.
An Educator in Athletics, Ethnoiogy and
Practical Science.


Every one in these enlightened days
comedies that human nature imperatively
demands amusement and recreation. The
childish mind, to which the world is yet
fresh and interesting, and the faded brain
Of the adult, call with equal insistence
for something new and strange
Granted the necessity Of amusements and
the desirability Of their being morally
clean and healthful and instructive, the
provider of such entertainments is a pub
lie benefactor and may reasonably ask
Tor his wares the c~ountenance of the
church.
The so called circus Of today, with, /
regret TO say, some exceptions, is q
widely different affair from that of the
past. When under proper management
1t is decorous and orderly in operation
and composed Of features which appealt to
all ages, classes and conditions. While
modestly submitting to bear the generic
title Of circus, a genuine tent exhibition
ander that name must comprise a me-
nagerie and museum, the accommodating
of which necessitated a diligent search
fng of the whole earth at an incredible
pecuniary outlay. In the proper circus
of today the athlete demonstrates the
perfection of training Of which the human
body is capable. His feats of strength
and graceful agility please the under
standing as well as the eve, and if the
average boy does stand on his head and
practice turning 'hand springs and
''iip flaps" with eSasperating persistence
for three weeks running after going to
the CIRCUS, his physique will be all the
better for it. The juggler shows the
marvellous precision and nicely OF touch
which can be acquired by patient prac-
tice. In the real circus of today the in
telligent lover Of horse flesh will find the
finest specimens of the equine race
trained to do anything but talk.
Then the scientific mind is attracted by
such strange examples of mechanism as
the talking machine, an ingenious dupli-
cate of the structure of the human throat,
giving forth under manipulation a very
human if not q sweet voice.
The ethnologist finds gathered together
for his leisurely inspection representatives
Of notable and peculiar tribes, civilized
and savage, from far distant l~ands-types
which otherwise he would never see, as
they car only be sought in their native
countries al the risk of life and at an ex-
penditure Of time and money possible to
few. The menageries of wild beasts,
birds and reptiles-comprising every
curious specimen Of animal life from the
denizens of the torrid African jungle to
those Of the Polar regions-foim a study
that will impart more valuable informa-
ton in two hours than can be obtained
from reading books on zoology in a year.
