Words to the Deaf.

An old lady who has lost nearly all
sense of hearing, and was also blind,
once said to me: ~ wish you would
write and tell people how to talk to the
deaf, for l can always hear you." 1t is
easy enough to speak slowly, articulate
distinctly, and in line with the defec-
tive ear, but not too near it. 1t seems
to be general idea, but it is mistaken
one, that the louder the voice the moro
easily it is to be heard by the deaf.
Slow, distinct articulation is of far more
importance. If these simple, natural
facts were more generally borne in mind,
it would do much to alleviate the trials
of the deaf.-The Chautauquan.

THE CURRANT BoRER.

The question is often asked why cur
rant bushes grow weakly. Now and then
strong, vigorous shoot will appear,
while most are puny. Mehan, in his
Monthly, says that in most cases this re.
suits from the work of the currant borer.
If branch be cut across it will be found
hollow. This channel is where the borer
has been. Only a very small black pune.
ture on the outside of the stem shows
where the insect laid his egg. If one
could get used to noting this puncture in
the fall of the year, and cut out such
twigs and burn them, it would help cur
rant culture. York World.

WATER IN THE DAIRY,

In every gallon Of milk there is at least
seven pints OF water, fact in itself
sufficient to convince one that good milk
cannot be obtained from an impure
water supply, and that shortage in
quantity will he attended by an immedi-
ate and corresponding diminution of the
flow; indeed, IL would seem that the
importance OF water rs an element in

SYMPTOMS OF HORSE INSANITY.

When horse goes insane he is apt to
Kill himself by butting his head into a
corner. At the Veterinary Hospital of
the University of Pennsylvania, the largest
OF its kind in the country, such cases are
treated in an oval brick chamber, per-
fectly dark. When this is heavily bedded
with straw it is almost impossible for a
horse to hurt himself. Insanity, OF
"dumminess, in horses is quite common.
1t is sometimes caused by lesion on the
brain, and is incurable, but when caused
by stomach disorders it is often treated
successfully.-Chlcago Herald.

the surface in loose rich ground. When
cut below the crown they never sprout
again, but new ones may come from the
seed. Until more than two years old
they do not run down more than two
or three inches and are easily killed. An
old merticing chisel with long handle
is the best tool for such work, and it is
improved by having spur in the handle
upon which the foot can be placed IN
cutting tough root. Many other weeds
in the meadows or lawns are easiest killed
with such an implement, and while it is
quite task to go over ten-acre lot that
is very weedy, yet the number of such
weeds that come after year or two of
cultivation and seeding to grass is not
large unless foul seed is own.-Ameri'

BREAKFAST.

One needs great variety of resources
for the morning meal, for the appetite
is most likely at this meal to be dainty
and capricious. The prescriptions in the
books are limited in usefulness, and dur
ing the changes of seasons the appetite
and general health should be especially
studied to the end that the breakfast be
both relishable and nourishing. Never
try to eat at breakfast anything that
does not relish WELL The appetite and
vigor for the whole day may depend on
the breakfast, and whatever is served at
that meal should be the best of its kind
that it is possible to obtain. New York
Witness.

Deafness cannot be- Cnred

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed. condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have . rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases cut OF
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
