The Work Cure.

A famous French physicta1s, De Fleu-
~, says that zola is exactly right in
declaring that brain work is the best
remedy for nervousness, sorrow and
suffering.
We cannot reproduce his scientific
explanation of this theory, but some of
the examples mentioned by him will
lead cur readers to look into the mat
ter and study it for themselves. Victor
Hugo appeared to be SO much absorbed
in his work that he was considered
heartless or q man who would not be
moved by any sorrow. The truth is,
he was remarkably sensitive, and in
order to save himself from the torture
of his emotions he sought refuge in
work. In this way he preserved his
sanity and at the same time gave to
the world masterpieces Of literature.
De Fleury says that Hugo's case
/ caused him to try the brain work cure
On his patients, men and women, who
were suffering from various forms OF
nervousness. He got them interested
in various studies and in correspon-
aence, keeping accounts and literary
work. In short time they grewm
cheerful They were contented dur
Ing the day and sleep came easily at
light.
The Frenchman has called attention
10 cure of great value. It is one
that can easily be utilized without a
physician or without going to a hos
Dital or an asylum. Any nervous suf-
terer whose mind is dominated by
great sorrow has simply to devote him
,elf in earnest to productive and USE
tul brain work and the result will be
complete cure. 1t is worth trying

Topped Ears.

Lorped ears are the result OF do.
nestication in all animals except the
elephant. Not only carnivorous ami
mails, but all animals which are liable
to be preyed upon by others, need the
erect, mobile, funnel-shaped ear to
catch every sound the one class to ap-
prise them of the vicinity of their
prey, the other to keep them on their
guard against unseen foes; and the
constant exercise of the external or
gan gives tone and energy to the mus
cles which move it.
The elephant, too, probably came OF
ID ancestral stock that had erect ears,
but for ages past there sheen no crea-
ture powerful enough to cause il
alarm, and for want Of exercise the
muscles which move the ear have lost
tone and wasted away, leaving the ear

The general measure of variability
N this matter OF Topped ears is to be
found among dogs. Spaniels, settlers,
pointers, bloodhounds, beagles and
ioxhounds all have long hanging ears;
bulldogs, terriers, collies and grey
hounds droop only the tips of the
ears; the spitz has erect ears, while
mastiffs and many other breeds have
short, pendulous or semi-pendulouf
ears.
It might be inferred that the more

Thirty Years In a Hut.

The door Of what has for years Seen
known in Ashland, Ohio, as the log
hut hermitage was open the other day
for the first time in thirty years. It
was forced open under the suspicion
that the hermit was sick. The her
mit's dog, by a peculiar instructive
method of communication, led 8 neigh
Dor to the hut. While no person had
been permitted to enter his hut for
thirty years, if any one approached it
the hermit would come out of his
dwelling, fasten the dog and talk with
The visitor.
On recent morning the neighbor
could not call out ''Uncle Fred, 30 he
attempted to get in, but could not.
He then attempted to look in through
the window, which consisted of but
one pane of glass six by eight inches
in size, but he could see nothing. He
then called other neighbors, and after
breaking open the door by the aid OF a
lantern they found the hermit dead in
front of his fireplace, on the ground.
for his hut had no floor and no bed.
He had slept on the ground for thirty
years.
His hermitage had but one room,
I0x12 feet, which was filed with sacks
of nuts and barrels Of garden products,
and was hung full from its low ceiling
with herbs gathered from the country
far and near. The floor was filed with
geological specimens. The hermit,
whose name was Matthews, died in the
room in which he was born. He had
taught school in Holmes County,
studied medicine at Mansfield and had
practiced as a physician among his
neighbors, and was highly esteemed
professionally and as teacher. He
married at about the age of forty a
young pupil in his school in Holmes
County, who on being taken to his
home, which he had told her had four
sections of land with q mill on it, was
20 enraged when she found that it had
but four-quarters of an acre Of land
and coffee mill that she left him. He
then vowed to be a hermit. He would
not permit anyone to enter his hut.
He was man Of strong mental powers,
strengthened by his hermit study and
inspiration. He came out of his hut
often to lecture on politics. He had
evolved free trade in his study and
other subjects of interest. The County
Infrmary directors have made him an
allowance for years. He had not had
his hair cut or been shaved for years.

to such an extent that he Is able to chop
