Insects in the Ear.

A physician, in discussing the
prevalence of ear trouble, caused
especially in summer time, by the en-
trance of earwigs and other insects into
the ear, points out simple remedy.
When living insects find their way into
the external auditory canal the ear should
at once be turned to bright light, in
the hope of inducing the intruder to
back out by virtue of the attraction
which light naturally has for him. If this
prove unsuccessful the ear should be
filled with sweet oil or glycerine, which
will kill the insect by occluding its
breathing pores and generally float it
out. Sometimes, however, a syringe and
warm water are necessary to remove it.
In cases where these means are not at
hand as when hunting, blowing tobacco
smoke into the ear directly from the stem
of pipe, the mouth being placed over
the bowl and protected from it by the
hand, will kill or stupefy the intruder,
and, at all events, reduce him to state
of inactivity pending the ability to dis
lodge him. -Courier-Journal.

In China tens Of thousands of recently
born girls among the poorer classes are
thrown out to perish, and at Shanghai I
saw tower formerly used to facilitate
this infanticide, says writer in Pear
sons Weekly. 1t is practiced in every
part of China, but especially in the in
terror and in the Loess district.
AS soon as we get many miles from
the coast it is quite usual to see near
a joss house, or place of worship, small
stone tower from ten to thirty feet high,
with no door, but a hole in one side
reaching into pit in the center. This
children that parents wish to be rid of
are thrown into this hole, and quick
lime soon consumes the lifeless little
forms.
1t is said that the priests take charge
of this cruel work. 1t has been estima-
ted that every year 200, 200 female
babies are brutally slaughtered IN the
Empire. One Chinaman beng interro-
gated about the destruction of his re-
Gently born girl, said: "The wife cry
and cry, but kill alice same"
In every large city in China there are
asylums for the care of orphans, sup
ported and conducted by foreigners,
who save yearly from slaughter tens of
thousands of female infants. At Han
how, which is 600 miles in inland, I
visited Roman Catholic orphanage for
children that have thus been cast out to
perish. Mother Paula Vismara, the
lady superior OF the institution, informed
me that she had received seven that day,
and one day thirty were brought in. Of
course these had never been consigned
to baby tower,
Sometimes they are found wrapped in
paper and left at the edge of the river;
sometimes they are buried alive by the
father, but while yet living are dug up
by some one else and brought to this in
stitution. Several women are employed
by the mother superior in looking about
for the little victims.

PACKING AND SHIPPING.

One great advantage of the rapid in
crease in truck farming in our country
is the growth of business methods among
farmers. Dealing with the sharp, accu-
rate business-like commission man is Just
the training that many an easy going
farmer needs. And even the more enter
prising can learn a lesson i'll methods of
preparing fruit and vegetables for mar
ket. The old plan OF packing fruit with
the large handsome specimens on top is
utterly exploded. The shipper who does
not cultivate honesty for its own sake
has discovered that it is at least the best
policy. He loses first reputation and
then cold hard cash by his folly. An
other thing that shippers are learning is
that it pays to raise good standard
grade rather than to worry over special
ties and monstrosities. People do not
care to pay fancy prices for "show"
fruits and vegetables, especially when
favor and grain have been sacrificed to
size. Moderation in the size of pack :
ages is another lesson that has been
learned by sad experience. Even early
potatoes though still shipped largely in
barrels will bring better prices in crates,
and wide-awake growers are beginning
to realize it. Careful assortment also
pays. A box of small berries will sell
better than mixture of small and large
while the large sizes bring double prices
if picked over. Many retail dealers re-
alize this and assert their own fruit over
after buying from the commission men.
The same is true of asparagus, which
should be done up in punches of one
pound each and packed in bushel boxes.
The less white there is in bunch and
the larger the stalks the better the sale.
Cucumbers to bring top prices should be
packed in bushel boxes with an even
ninety to the box. This is the top
notch average size. More or less to the
bushel will diminish the price. Above
all things take care to pack all fruits and
vegetables so tightly as to prevent loss
of form and color from shaking about III

the fowls should have access to an
abundant supply.
1t usually takes about ten weeks for
the hens to moulb, and if they moult
early and are kept vigorous aud thrift J
will commence to lay again, and often
lay all winter.
A French or English gardener will
spend more time and thought over a
single tree than most Americans give to
ten-acre orchard. Learn to prune
scientifically. 1t will pay.
Keep your tomato vines gsll picked
off. Every ripe tomato, whether in
good condition or deformed or defaced
by birds, should be carefully pic If
you want full and satisfactory yiesi.
BY having covered shed that you
can drive into before unhitching, there
is less temptation to leave wagons, now
ers, drills, ETC., out of doors until a
convenient time" for putting them
away.
Dead blackberry and raspberry bushes
of the new spring-set plantations can be
replaced to advantage on a rainy day by
young suckers from an older patch.
Take them up with as much soil as will
adhere to the roots.
For bedding out plants in light sandy
soil nothing will prove more satisfactory
than petunias or portulacca. In heavy
loan or clayey soil the geranium is per-
fectly at home, and will make finer dis
play than any other bedding plant.

The New Quarter Couaterfeited.

A dangerous counterfeit silver quarter
of the ''vintage' of 1892 has made its
appearance. The coin is in imitation of
one made at the New Orleans Mint this
year, and the only difference is that the
eagle, etc., on the reverse is little too
clearly outlined. The weights of the
two coins, the genuine and the spurious,
are the same. The only flaw is in the
ring of the coin when it is dropped. cit
is the most dangerous counterfeit l have
come across in all my experience, said
business man. "Its face is absolutely
perfect, and the reverse is nearly SO; the
weight is just right, and so is the size.
In fact, the only flaw is the ring, and
the milling is slightly defective. Port

GOOD roads require something more

GOOD roads require something more
than the labor Of farmers measured
out in the spring payment of a petty
poll tap In fact, farmers might de-
vote half their time to working on
the road" and country highways would
then show but little Improvement
over their present condition. 1t is
not more work that is needed, but
better plans; the methods of construc-
ton must be scientific. This means
that there must be new profession
of highway engineering. 1t may con-
stitute branch of civil engineering,
but 1t will extend into field which
the civil engineer has not the time to
enter. Schools and colleges should
make provision for this new profess
sion. The course of study will in
clude first the Importance of good
roads. The student must know that
their uses are commercial, social, po-
litical and military, and to what ex-
tent each of these elements of our
national existence and prosperity de-
ponds upon the common means of in
accommodation. This involves a
history of highways, extending from
the time of the Romans and Egyp-
tians, since it is well known that
their supremacy in the world Of their
day was largely due to magnificent
roadways. There are many points of
distinction between a road and a
street which the student must mas
ter. Coming specifically to the road,
attention must be given to its eX-
penSe or economy. Then will follow
the questions Of shape or cross-sec-
ton, surface or finish, direction or
alignment, and grade or inclination.
There is much to learn on the sub
jects of location, workmanship, main
tenance and legislation. The mere
enumeration Of those points is sutfi-
Gent to show that good roads depend
upon technical skill quite as much as
railroads and bridges. They can
never be had by the aimless blowing
and scraping which the pathmaster
throughout the country orders every
spring, not even though the work ex-
tended through the year. 1t must be
that every farmer realizes the money
value Of good roads. in the western
wheat region" reads a statement in
the tenth census report, according to
the estimates received, it costs the
ordinary farmer more to carry a
bushel of wheat mile than it does
the ordinary railroad to carry ton,
consequently when we get west of
Lake Michigan it rarely pays to grow
wheat more than twenty miles from
rail or water transportation" Hav-
ing been convinced OF the enormous
odds against him in his competition
with the rest of the world, the farmer
is helpless in the effort to equalize
the conditions, so far as reaching a
market is concerned. He must turn
his roads over to some one who knows
what they lack and can supply it.
The highway engineer is a necessity
of the future.
