CRUSTY MARK TWAIN.
The Humorist Is Soar, But Worth All %
Tw, Million Dollars.


Mark Twain's success in life seems to
have made him crusty and sour. Years
ago, when he was struggling for fame
and fortune on tho Pacific coast. those
who knew him said he was warm hearted
and cordial. But he is certainly far
from that now. When he comes to New
York, as he often does, he evades news.
paper reporters, and if by any chance
these Industrious gentlemen manage to
waylay him and seek an interview on
any topic, the great humorist is not only
reticent, but ugly and disagreeable.
Perhaps to those he knows he is more
friendly. AT any rate, the reporters
now steer clear of him. They never
bother him when he comes to the city,
and he is left alone in his glory.
! saw him on the street while ago,
dressed in dark business suit. He has
an attractive face, a splendid head, set
upon pair of strong shoulders. His
eyes are clear and his mouth denotes
great firmness. His hair is silvering
gradually, although there is an abund-
ance of it. His mustache is reddish and
his eyebrows are heavy.
Mr.. Clemens lives in style in Hart
ford, CT. His home is on Pennington
avenue. 1t is house luxuriously fur
nished and filled with rare pictures and
book0. The occupant of the house ad-
Joining is Mrs. Harriet Beechcr Stowe,
and not far away is the home of Charles
Dudley Warner. Mr.. Clemens never
talks about his books except to those
whom no knows intimately. But there
% one topic that he is willing to discuss
at any time, and that is international
copyright. In fact, it may be said that
he is crank on the subject. His books
sell we'll. ''lnnocents Abroad" the
most successful of all his literary ven
lures. has steady sale, and his fortune
is estimated by those who know him to
be considerably over $4,000, 900. Some.

CARE OF THE EAR.
Infiammatory Discharges Which #
qucntly Produce Deafness.

IufammatOry Discharges Which Ere.
qucntly Produce Deafness.
The ear. next to the eye, is the most
delicate organ we possess, end the fail
ure of its powers is as distressing to the
sufferers friends as to himself. Yet too
little attention is paid to its slight all
ments, since it is not always fully ap-
preciated how much damage may be
done by what seems to be slight
neglect, and how little treatment, prop
erly applied, may be required to avert
lifetime of discomfort.
1t is not an uncommon thing to see
matter running from the ears of chill
dren. Sometimes this means nothing
more than an infiamma tory condition
of the passage leading to the drum
membrane, but far oftener there is dis
ease of the cavity beyond.
The affection begins with an inflam-
nation of the delicate membrane lining
the drum cavity. In some cases this
process is not very severe, and passes
away without other complications. II,
however, the Inflammation is intense or
long continued, q considerable quantity
of watery fluid collects. This not only
causes severe distress and temporary
deafness, but after time it is liable to
burst the drum membrane and escape
through the outer ear. In such an event
1t is often supposed that an abscess has
broken.
Sometimes the small opening thus
formed closes rapidly, and after time
another collection may take place and
be followed by a similar discharge.
Should this be repeated several times
considerable portion of the drum mem
brane is likely to be destroyed. The
very minute bones which are essential
to the perfect transmission of sound to
the internal car may at the same time
be washed away, and there then results
a loss OF hearing power which no art OF
man can make good,
These inilammatory conditions are
apt To occur in the course " certain dis
eases, such as scarlet tower and diph-
liberia, and If, during tho run of these
diseases, an ear-ache should come on or
u discharge he seen, II should not be
looked upon as of small Importance.
Sometimes, II there is an accumula-
tion of fluid in tho middle chamber,
from an inflammation just beginning,
the simple puncture OF the drum mem
brane by surgeon will allow the
escape OF the fluid, and entirely avert
tho danger of permanent Deafness

A fine flash lamp, simple and cheap. is
thus made: Take an ordinary clay pipe,
a wad OF absorbent cotton and piece of
string. Wrap the cotton around the ont
side of the bowl and tie it with string.
Take piece of bulb rubber-tubing and
draw it over the stem, so that you can

To watch the shadows flicker DER

And round tho ceiling race!
These patent purlor stoves are fine,
And charm away the chill
With windows whence the light may shine
The room with cheer to fill.
Some people love TO boast about
Our stylish modern ways,
And thank the Lord who cast their lines
In these progressive days.
But OH that might be once more
