Boxing the Ears.

Never strike a child on the head. This
is not only cruel. but it is dangerous.
Boxing the ears should be made an
offense punishable by law. for box,

the ear and destroy the hearing perhaps
permanently. Children have often died
from brain trouble produced by a box
on the ears. No parent or teacher should
ever think Of administering chastisement
in this way.-HOspital.

Nothing will give such a polish to
glass. even the finest, as slightly moist
newspaper TO wash it, and dry news
paper to give the finishing touches
Piano keys yellow with age can be
cleaned by a dilution Of one ounce of
nitric acid in ten ounces of soft water.
Apply with a brush and wash off with
flannel.
To cleanse glass bottles that have held
oil, place ashes in each bottle and i'm
merse in cold water, then heat the water
gradually until ii boils; after boiling an
hour let them remain till cold. Then
wash the bottles in soaps1ds and rinse
in clear water.
Steel knives and other articles which
have become rusty should be rubbed with
a little sweet oil, then left for a day or
two in a dry place, and then rubbed
with finely-pOydered, unslacked lime un-
til every vestiAa Of the rust has disap-
peared, and kept In a dry place wrapped

Heat and damp are injurious to pianos,
so that the choice Of a suitable position
is important. They should never be kept
in damp rooms. nor allowed TO stand in a
draft. Damp will cause the strings and
tuning pins to rust, and the cloth used in
the construction of the keys of action TO
swell. so that the mechanism will be inn
peded, making the keys stick when
pressed; the sounding board is also af-
fected and the varnish. When not in
use the piano should be closed, to keep
out the dust. and small articles should
not be placed upon it. It is an instru-
ment. and not table or sidebOard. The
ivory OF the keys will keep their color if
exposed for a short time every day To
the light, and mothes are effectually pre-
vented by placing a piece of camphor in
soft paper inside. New pianos require
more frequent tuning than Old.

90 be president for the duration OF one Sun
day by virtue of his position AS president
pro tempore OF the senate There was a
good deal OF discussion about bringing Kos
suth to this country and much talk about
the great Magyar. A bill had been intro
dnced In congress TO defray his expenses
and was then before the senate. The word
Magyar was dingling in everybody's ears,
and IL had not escaped the attention Of Sen
ator Atchison, though he didn't know what
It meant at that time. There was talk one
day In the cloakrooms about the Magyar
and the propriety Of voting for bill to pay
his expenses. no one denying that he was a
great orator and friend of this country.

short reflection, II, as | take IL from his

fought there as IL has long been fought

Early one morning not long ago a
black boy going to his work was pass
ing along the Pierce's Mil road, near
Washington. Paying little attention to
what was before him he suddenly found
himself confronted by large grizzly
bear The boy did what almost any one
would have done under the same cir
cumstances-he turned and ran as fast
as his legs could carry him. Luckily
the bear did not follow. and he reached
house and gave an alarm.
The news soon spread that grizzly
bear had escaped from the geological
garden. II would be hard to tell how
the news got abroad, because every one
was afraid 10 go out OF doors. People
barricaded their doors and windows and
kept their children In the house. The
schools in the neighborhood were with
out pupils.
The superintendent Of the geological
garden heard. at any rate, that his lost
bear had been seen on the Pierce's Mill
road. and accompanied by several well
armed volunteers he started In pursuit
Of the animal
They came upon him not far from
tho place where tho boy had seen him.
The bear regarded his pursuers indif-
ferently. The superintendent was led
TO hope that he might be captured alive.
Lets surround him." said the chief
OF the hunters.
They proceeded to form ring about
the grizzly. This proceeding Infatuated
him at once, and he made ferocious
attack upon one Of the hunters.
But before he could reach tho man all
the other hunters rushed bravely to the
assistance OF their threatened comrade,
whcreupon the grizzly, seeing himself
outnumbered. turned tail with a growl
and ran TO tree near by.
Once more the crowd crept upon the
bear, and then the animal rushed va
liantly at them all This time several
men fired at once, and the young bears
brief period of liberty was brought to
an end. Washington Letter.
