Tho Career of Jules Breton.

At the recent Seney art sale in New
York city one picture was sold for $45,-
500 1t was the First Communion, .
the most celebrated Of the numerous
well known paintings of Jules Breton,
the great artist. He lost his mother at
an early age, and it was source OF
wonder to him why God should have
taken his devoted mother away. He
began his art work in an attempt to
copy the prints from book which he
had picked up somewhere. He also de-
veloped d very inconvenient fondness
for decorating his room with crude char
roal copies. Finally his genius was
recognized. and David, the great painter
hero, became his master. Thenceforth
his career was rapidly upward

Treatment of the Ear.

The human ear is much more deli
cate organ than most people suppose. 1t
is extremely dangerous to interfere with
it by use of earpicks or any of the vari-
Gus instruments used for the purpose of
cleaning it from wax. The wax is a,
natural secretion, and unless the ear be-
comes diseased it does not accumulate
any faster than is necessary to protect
the passage from the entrance of insects
and various particles which might other
wise be forced in and tend to interfere
permanently with the hearing.
The greatest is necessary in wash
ing the ears of little children. They
should be washed outside, but on the in
side only SO far as the finger wrapped III
a soft towel will go. The practice of
forcing a hair pin or any other hard in
strument into the ear passage is fraught
with danger of injuring the membrane,
causing permanent deafness. Earache
is malady Of childhood and causes
most distressing pain. The simplest
remedy for it is to take little cotton
dipped in warm sweet oil and put it in
the ear passage.

Musical Signaling.

It is a theory which seems to have
been confirmed by practical experiment
that a pure tone Of voice, such as that
used in singing, penetrates to much
greater distance than mere noise This
idea has given rise to new system of
marine signaling, to be used either at
night or in foggy weather, and based en-
tirely upon the action of successive
musical tones.
A limited number of combinations of
notes can be made to carry on all the
conversation necessary between ap-
preaching vessels to avoid collision, or
between lighthouses and dangerous
points of the coast, in order to prevent
wrecks.
-Four notes, for example, serve to ask,
(Which way are you heading?' and tive
others mean, II am steering southeast" !"
The system can be employed on large
scale by means of machinery, consisting
of a keyboard, on which the operator
would play, and speaking apparatus. :"
1t is expected that hy such apparatus
communication may be established at a
distance of two miles, The invention
can be adapted to the Morse code Of sig
nails when it becomes necessary to spell
out names and words. Youths Com

The Consumption of Cigarettes.

There are 1900, 100000 cigarettes
smoked throughout the United King
dom every year. The paper used for
rolling them is exceedingly thin, the
quantity required to make 5oo only
weighing one ounce. Sixteen medium
sized cigarettes weigh one ounce, Twelve
cigarette papers can be cut out OF q

Tobacco used for years supply OF
cigarettes, at the rate of sixteen to one
ounce, would be 5,S59,375 pounds-or
266 tons 8 hundredweight 3 quarters 3

2,400, ,000. 900 per year, or about 6e for
each of the adult population, or 100 for
each male. Russia consumes $685.
900; Austria, 1880 100000. French
smokers consume 100000 francs
worth Of cigarettes every year.
In one term of tifty-nine days no fewer
than $4,000 cigarettes of a certain brand

Future Warfare.

With regard to ''smokeless powder" !"
Colonel Lonsdale Hale observes that,
though the report of the rifles when fired
is heard, it is very difficult to see whence
the rifles are fired. Under certain con-
ditions no trace Of smoke can be distin-
guished. Minor acts Of surprise, he con-
siders, will be more frequent in the
future, and will often partake Of the
nature of ambuscades, Very small
bodies of cavalry, intimately connected
with infantry, forming in action patrols
with the latter, will therefore be neces-
sary, and it will no longer be possible to
discover viii posted batteries.
On the whole, Colonel Hale considers
that only war can absolutely decide
what the effects of the Improvement in
small arms will be. One thing, however,
is certain-that is, that the difficulty of
leading troops has considerably in
creased. London News.

A danger that may arise from dong
SO simple thing as this is that u minute
particles Of the cotton may be LETT IN the
ear. To prevent this, some physicians
advise making little wad OF the COTTON
and wrapping it in the finest ana rnln-
nest linen casnbric that can be touna,
and dipping this in warm sweet OIL. ln
case of intense pain few drops OF not
laudanun OF campbor may be used with
the oil.
When foreign bodies get into the ear
they should be removed by Swinging
them out with warm water. To attempt
to remove anything from the ear pas
sage by forcing an instrument in is a
rash thing for any one except an aurist
to undertake. The best medical prac-
titioners refuse to treat affections OF the
ear or eye, but seild their patients to
specialists. New York Tribune.

Her Day of Triumph over.

A man or woman, considered abstract
ly as man or woman, cuts very little
figure in this world. It is what the man
or woman can do that counts, and 1t had
better be done while life is at its heyday,
for old age without money may meet
with disrespect. Mime. Judic furnishes
a case in point. The auction sale OF II
her valuable jewels, pictures, tapest es
and silyerware brings out the fact that
this most popular prima donna of French
opera bouffe has lost her powers OF at
traction. Her ini1nitable diction re-
mains, but her voice, beauty and grace
have departed. Her figure has become
unwieldy because of an excess OF en-
bonpoint, while her arms are painfully
thin. 1t is some years since she has ap-
peared on the Partisan stage.

All the world loves lover, and OF the

unexpected has happened. Her father,

the bones, which were undisturbed, are
