Forests Whitfield Away.

A notable example of a big result
produced by small means is found in
the fact that lead pencil usors have
whitted away several big forests Of
cedar trees in Europe, and the supply
of wood suitable for lead pencils is
practically exhausted in the old world.
An order has just been placed by a
noted German firm of pencil makers
with California lumber company for
q largo quantity of aequoia wood,
which is found to be the best wood
now available for pencils. The sequoia
is the big tree of California. 1t seems
too bad Chat tn, grand old giants
should BIO sacrificed, and especially
that their end ehould DO lead pencil
shavings. Paper Makers Monthly

Liquor Drinking In Two Countries.

Liquor Drinking In Two Countries.
1t has generally been supposed that
hard times" lead to hnrd drinking,
but tho British statistics do not bear
out that supposItlon very loglncally.
Thus. In 1900, the amount expended for
consumption of liquors per capita was
about $3.50, whllo In 1891 tho sum per
capita Ind fallen to S17.75. On tho
other hand, the figures for the decade
show that while drinking hns dccreas.
cd TO some extent since the Flush" year
of 1890, the general tendency through
the pnst ten years has been to spend
more for liquor; as In 1885 tho per

Increased drinking, so that not only do

Earache.


IN Its simplest form, earache is an In
Illumination of the external part of the
eat. In other cases the internal ear is
attacked. and the disease takes on a.
much more serious character.
When nm earache Is long continued,
or the Inflammation Is especially Sc
we're, no time should be lost in seeking
the advice of some excellent physician
or specialist. Scrofulous children are
most liable to affections of the inner
ear.
An earache may start from a variety
OF causes, ike collection OF wax in
the ear, or the Introduction of some ir-
ritatlng substance. 1t sometimes arises
from extension of inflammation in the
throat, as In scarlet fever and measles.
Difficult teethins is said to be not infre-
Quently n cause. especially when that
process Is unusually protracted. The
most prolific cause, however, Is undoubt-
edly cold.
Inflammation of the ear is usually
accompanied by the symptom which
gives the affection it's name, but Il Is
sometimes hard to distinguish the na-
ture Of the trouble in the case Of young
Infants who are unable to do anything
but cry and toss necessarily. A close
examination Of the ear, however, will
usually reveal q slight reduess, espe-
cially of the canal, and on pressure
there will be found extreme sensitive
ness,
The first point in the treatment of
earache is to remove, IL possible, the
cause Of the inflammation. Should there
be q collection OF wax in the ear 1t
should be s6ftened by q drop or two of
oil or by injections of warm water or
milk, and then removed.
The inflammation may then DO direct
ly attacked by placing hot flannels,
either wet or dry, over the ori1ce Of
the ear. If the pain is very severe,
what's known as laudanum fomenta-
ton may be applied. This is made by
wrinsing flannel out of boiling water
and turning little laudanum over the
surface of the CLOTH which is then
placed over the ear and allowed to
steam
Injections Of hot water may also be
made directly into the ear, great care
being taken not to force the LIQUID
too abruptly.
II there is discharge from the ear,
mild solution Of carbolic acid or DO.
rax should be used every day until it
ceaseB. The usual duration Of n case
Of Inflammation of the ear is from two
to three weeks.-Youth's Companion.

That oil the hills arc strong,
And oil the forests on their backs
Melodious with song.

Tho hoary hills are true,
And that the ancient mountains
And this old world are new.
What do tell tho ocean?

For evermore shall rise
In all the Eden freshness
New incense to the skies.

A great many American families at
tempt to take care of Il hardwood floor
without brush. This is waste of
much laborious energy. Tho work can
be accomplished by the use of q brick
wrapped in flannel and then in cotton,
but it cannot be properly accomplished
except by strong man, while an ordi-
nary servant can readily weld the 22
pound brush, which sells in our shops at
from So. so to s. and with care will last
many years. 1t should be passed first
across the grain Of the wood. Then tho
floor should be vigorously polished with
the grain of tho wood.
Finally piece of old carpet is laid
down and the floor is polished under
this. A properly cared for floor should
be polished with the brush once week.
1t should not be rowaxed oftener than
once IL month or once in two or three
months, according to the amount of
wear on it. After a certain period of
time it may be necessary to scrape the
floor and apply some kind of restorer,
though this should be hardly required
unless the floor has been improperly
dressed.
Of course the best way of polishing
such a floor is in the foreign fashion,
with a brush attached to one foot of a
robust man, who goes skating about
until the surface CLEANS like marble.
But this method is not often possible in
this country except in those households
where there are foreign menservants. -

The Emotion of Grief In Animals.

Dutch was a brown retriever of ad-
vanced years. Curly was reputed to be
Scotch terrier, but his appearance sug-
gested some uncertainty i'll his descent.
Dutch was chained to her kennel, and
Curly, who enjoyed his liberty, evinced
his friendship by frequently taking
bones and other canine delicacies to his
less fortunate friend. One morning
Curly presented himself at the house,
evincing unmistakable signs of grief by
his demoanor and his whines. A visit
to the kennel, where poor Dutch was
found lying dead, showed the occasion
of Curly's unhappiness. We buried
Dutch decorously under vine in the
garden and supposed that Curly would
forget the incident, but we were touch
ed to see him in the capacity of faithful
mourner often revisit the spot where
his old friend was laid, taking with
him, by way of offering, choice bones.
which he carefully buried by the grave.
This practice Curly continued for two
years, when we left the house. --Cor.

A LAUGH IN CHURCH.

She sat on the sliding cushion,
The dear wee woman OF four;
Her feet in their shiny slippers
Hung dangling over the floor.
She meant to be good, she had promised,
And SO with her big brown eyes
She stared at the meeting house windows
And counted the crawling flies.
She looked far mp at tho preacher,
But she thought Of the honey bees
Droning away in the blossoms
That whitcned the cherry trees.
She thought of the broken basket
Where, curod in u dusSy heap,
Three sleek, round puppies with fringy ears
Lay Struggled and fast asleep.
Such soft, warm bodies to cuddlc,
Such queer little hearts to boat.
Such swift, round tongues to kiss,
Such sprawling, cushiony feet!
She could feel in her clasping fingers
The touch of the satiny skin
And a cold, wet nose exploring
The dimpleS under her chin.
Then u sudden ripple of laughter
Ran over the parted lips
So quick that she could not catch 1t
With her rosy finger tips.
The people whispered, 'Blcss the child"
AS each one walked from nap,
But the dear wee woman hid her face
For shame in her mothers lap.

TWO LEAPS.
One Was For Liberty and the Other Was
For Life.

One Was For Liberty and the Other Was
For Life.
''In passing by the criminal court
building the other day" said Luther
Latin Mills, Il recalled, among my
memories somehow connected with it,
that of remarkable leap for liberty
About 10 years ago prosecuted
young fellow for the crime of burglary.
He was convicted and sentenced to pris-
Oh for term of six years. After sem
tence, as he was being conveyed by
deputy sheriff from the courtroom to
the Jail, across the passage connecting
the two buildings, which have often
regarded as Bridge of Signs, the
young burglar suddenly sprang over the
low hand railing, which was then the
only protection of the bridge, landed on
his feet 40 feet below, and, recovering
himself, made bold dash for liberty
He started on a run north on Dearborn
avenue, pursued by deputy sheriffs and
policemen, and was finally recaptured
in a barn not far from Lincoln park
When they brought him back, his face
flushed, his eyes flashing, his shirt col
lar thrown open, he looked like young
hero of romance. A few days later he
was taken to states prison, where he
served his term.
Passing over the Clark street bridge
there required to me the memory of an
other leap-one for life One evening
about five years ago on approaching that
bridge l found it open and a crowd of
about 1900 men and women in state
of excitement. A policeman informed
me that woman had fallen into the
river. What's being done to save her?'
l demanded. Before the officer had
chance to reply young fellow rushed
through the crowd, threw off his coat
and vest, put his hands together and
shot into the water. He caught the
woman as she was going down the third
time, struck out for the shore, and both
he and she were landed in safety.
81 heard man say to the rescuer.
What's your name?' I have no name
in which the public is interested, he
replied. But you re hero, urged the
man, and your name deserves to be
made known. The young man shook
his head and peremptorily refused to di-
vulge his name happened to get
good look at the fellow, and there came
to me a sudden flash of recognition. He
was the same one who had made the
leap for liberty from the Bridge of Signs.
"Things went better with the young
fellow after that, continued Mr.. Mills.
"He got on and prospered and is now
we'll to do commercial traveller. -

that some curious results have been OBJ

Words Which RHYME Not,

The number of English words which
have no rhyme in the language is very
large. Five or six thousand at least are
without rhyme and consequently can be
employed at the end of the verse only
by Transporting the accent, coupling
them with an imperfect consonance or
constructing an artificial rhyme out of
two words. Among other words to
which there are no rhymes may be men,
toned month, silver, liquid, spirit,
chimney, warmth, gulf, sylph, music,
breadth, width, depth, honor, iron, echo.
