useful for cucumbers, not our common
garden varieties, but the English
frame sorts, which do finely with us
in summer when grown in frame,
which should be kept well shaded on
sunny days. We have grown as large

frames as we have ever seen grown in
the greenhouse.

After these are gone the frame can be

them to the garden; this will afford
the lettuce all the room it will require
for heading, as the other plants should
be sown in alternate rows in order to
make all the space useful
The Importance of this kind of farm
ing is but little understood or appre-
ciated. 1t is carried on extensively
near all large cities, and is made prof
table by those who understand it. But
it is doubly valuable to the small
farmer who grows not SO much for
profit as for pleasure, for those who
are willing to pay to their gardeners
what their vegetables and small fruits
would cost them in the market, and
the rental of the farm besides, for the
satisfaction there is in having every
thing fresh and strictly tirst-class in
every respect.-Rural Farmer.

This House retiterates the oft expressed

Mr. Mcneil said his object was to show
the world that the British people were
united and prepared to stand together in
the common defence of the honor ana in

no room for snch Il sentiment in Canada.
Davies, Opposition, expressed thorough
accord with tho resolution. He believed
that the recent Venezuelan ard German

Sir Richard Cartwright, Opposition,
commended the resolution. He said that
Canada occupied one Of two positions,

THE CUBAN RESOLUTION.
Senate Substitute Will Suggest Granting Bel
ligerent Rights 10 Each Side.

Washington Feb. 5.-Tne substitute
Cuban resolution reported to the Senate,
today, by the committee on foreign rela-
tons, goes further than did the resolution
reported to the Senate q short time ago
There was diversity of opinion in the
committee as TO the ACCESSIBILITY of Con
gress passing resolution recognizing the
insurgents, the majority holding that such
recognition was |. function of the Execu
tive solely, With which Congress could
not properly interfere.
After some discussion, the conclusion
was reached that Congress could go no
farther than express it's opinion that Ger
tain conditions existed and declare that
the United States ought to maintain a
strict neutrality and accord to each side
belligerent rights.
1t is believed by members of the com
mittee that if this resolution passes both
Houses, the President will follow the inn
piled request of Congress and grant the
insurgents the rights of belligerency.
The committee decided that this resolu
ton should be called up In the Senate at
the earliest moment. The members of the
committee do not expect that Il protracted
debate will be precipitated over the resolu
ton.
The action of the committee in adopt
ing the substitute was unanimous with
the exception OF the vote of Cameron, who
still insisted that Congress itself should
recognize the belligrency of the insurg
ents
An effort was made to have the resolu
ton drawn as II joint resolution to require
the approval Of the President, but this

A TALK TO HARD HEARERS.
All Who Are Under the Thumb OF ''Uneis
Anchylosis" Should Take Notes.

A writer in The Rural New Yorker
who has been deaf l6 years, gives an en-
pertaining and useful talk under the title
| friends. He first tells that his deafness
| came on gradually. 1t was hardly noticed
at first. When it really got TO be serious
instead of going to work Systematically TO
get rid of il, he began to use cures"
skunk oil and other stuff, poked into his
ears and nose, without results He then
says; Il had about given up hope when
went to skillful aurist. TO nv sur.
prise, he paid little attention to the outer
ear, but looked down into my nose and
throat The trouble was way inside-in
the inner ear-and all my oiling and pok-
ing into the outer ear had done more harm
than good To put the thing in one big
word, the trouble in my case was an
anchylosis of the little bones of the inside
ear. Way inside behind the ear drums,
protected by thick, bony coverings, are the
drum sticks, or little bones that answer
the purpose of mans hand and drum
stick pounding on the head of drum.
Now an 'anchylosis' of these bones is q
stiifening up of the joints SO that they
can't play or move. When sound comes
tapping on my eardrums, that faithful
FOUNDER inside can't work as he would
like TO- and the result is that the sound Is
imperfectly sent along the nerves That
Is the most common reason for severe
deafness. 1t may be caused by good
many things-chiefly neglect of the nose
and throat. The little tubes which sup
ply the inner ear with air are thickened
or clogged up. The ear is not properly
ventilated, and the result is that this
anchylosis begins.
We'll, what about treatment The
idea is that this anchylosis Is progressive
that is, it does not stand still. 1t will
grow worse if neglected, and possibly grow
better If properly treated. Those little
bones in there will get sitter and sitter
unless something is done to Timber them
up. What can be dones The point is to
blow something directly upon that bone.
After curing my nose and throat chiefly
by the use of vaseline and bicarbonate OF
soda the aurist began systematic treat.
ment of blowing up that bone.
Every two weeks, or oftener he has put
a curved tube into my nose away back rs
far as 1t will go-three inches or more
with the end pointed out to a passage that
runs through the bone to the inner ear.
Then through this tube he blows a vapor
made up of various gases. Every now and
then put mild blister on Just back OF
the ear under the hair. Fung Well, it's
Just the way you look at it. The fun comes

with hope for further improvement il that
vapor Is still blown upon it regularly. The

A BAD CASE.
Two Men Tussle on Brink Of an Ex-
ceedingly High Granite Cliff.
Trouble Arose From Jealousy Over 4 Colt
Marrow Escape From Death.

South Norridgcwock, Feb. 5.-(Special).
There is much Indignation in this sec
ton over an affair which happened, Mon
day, ut the Dodlin quarry. The story goes
as follows:
The men at work on the quarry were
startled at hearing sounds of fight be-
tween two men on the cliff, some 80 feet
from the bottom of the quarry. The two
men were D. W. Harrington, Jr. of Smith
field, and Granville Storer Of South Nor
ridgewock.
The latter, it appeared, had got Harring
ton down, and had him by the throat, was
pounding him over the head and attempt
ing, it is said by those who saw it, to drag
the other to the edge evidently with the
intention of throwing him over, to the
rough rocks below which would have
meant certain death.
The bystanders rushed tn the spot as
fast as they could, and separated the men,
and since then no further trouble between
them Is reported
The cause of the difficulty is attributed
to jealousy, coupled with most ungovern-
able temper on the part Of Storer. The
latter, it appears, is brother -in-law OF
Harrington. Harrington father owns Il
colt, which he wanted to have broken, and
which he gave to his own son, who is sad
to be a good trainer for handling. This
was last Saturday.
Storer who claims to be q breaker OF
colts, was jealous of his brother-in-la and
is said to have been wholly to blame, and
to have been alone III making the trouble.
Harrington enjoys thu best of reputn-
ton and is everywhere we'll liked He Is
about % years old married, and has one
child
Noaction of prosecution has been taken,
but people are in highly indignant
state, as, it is claimed, the affair was
narrow escape for Harrington, if not his
assailant as well 1t is alleged that Stnrer
made the attack without giving Harring-
ton the slightest warning.
