Bathing ana Nose Blowing.

A number of people come home from
the seaside quite deaf. and very many,
if not deaf, are much harder of hearing
than when they left home. The cause
Of this is blowing the nose after bath
ing.
OF course che blows his nose because
there is some salt water in it. which
makes him uncomfortable. This water
he forces into the little eustachian tube
that runs from behind the nose to the
ear. Here the water remains for days,
and the particles of salt set up intlam-
nation The next step is that the eu-
stachian tube gets blocked and remains
more or less so permanently, causing
partial deafness.
You should always wait some time
after your bath before blowing your
nose, and then you should do it gently.

A SAFE HAYCoCK.


SAFE hA1CoCh' ton of moist or
mere damp hay is not only possible
and even easy, but that it is possible
to put in hay in such manner that,
under the right condition Of the wealth
err, it will certainly heat to burning
simply by internal fermentation and
oxidation of it's carbonaceous matter.
stacks Of hay in my life the center Of
which, when taken down for use, has
been of dark brown and in some in
stances black and actually charred by
the heat.
1t is frequent occurrence that ships
are burned by spontaneous fires occur
ring in the coal bunkers. The fact is
that damp carbonaceous matters, as
we'll as oily stuff of the same kind, will
oXidize so actively as to take fire.
Secondary fermentation will not pro-
duce sufficient heat to cause combus-
ton, so that it is wise precaution to
have this first fermentation go on in
the hay in the field, with the hay in
cocks. The form of the cock is best
tall and slender, for in this form the
cock will shed heavy rains and yet
keep dry, If the top is protected by a
common hay cap, while a low, broad
one is impossible to keep dry even
from few hours rain.
The drawing shows the right shape
Of a haycock and the manner Of max
ing it self shedding Of the rain with q
cap one and a half yards square Of
common sheeting. If these shaped
cocks are necessarily out in the wealth
er, they will be safe against weeks Of
wet, If such a misfortune should hap
pen to a farmer, for the cap on the top
will turn the water there, and the
sides, well raked down, will shed all
the drip. Hay put up in these cocks
will cure perfectly, with no risk Of
harm, and once this first fermentation
is over there will be no secondary one,
for dampness afterward will be due to
water only and not to the sap Of the
grass, which is sufficiently carbona-
ceous to start the requisite fermenta-
ton for the production of heat. A sec
ondary wetting of the hay will cause
mold, but not any fermentation of the
hay by which heat will be produced.
am so sure of the possibility of
spontaneous combustion of the hay
that would be very careful to avoid
the risk Of it by the simple method of
having this fermentation so on in the
field in a safely made cock in which
there is not more than 400 pounds of
hay.

"sHovING THE QUEER"
The Graceful Way In which coun-

The Graceful Way In Which COun-
terfeiters Pass Their Product.
Counterfeit money showers form
distinct class of criminals" said an old
federal officer. ''They have nothing to
put it in circulation. They go about
their work very Systematically and re-
duce the chances of detection to mini
mum.
"a woman shower, for example,
starts out to unload on the big retail
stores. Her dress is quiet, but elegant
and she has the surface appearance Of
refined lady. In her hand is a pocket
book containing one bad bill and q
number of good ones. She goes into q
store, makes some trifling purchases,
tenders the counterfeit and pockets the
change. AS she passes out she brush
es against a boy, who slips her anoth-
err queer bill and then drops back a
few PAGES in the crowd.
''In that way she makes the rounds,
and if she understands her business
she can get rid of an astonishing num-
Der of counterfeits in the course of a
few hours. If the bill she offers is de-
tected on the spot, she never attempts
any argument. Dear met she eX-
claims L wonder if l have any more
of the horrid thingsv And thereupon
she empties her pocketbook on the
counter and asks the clerk to examine
the money and see whether it is all
right.
''In 90 cases out of 100 that disarms
suspicion at once. If she happens to
be arrested, only one bill is found in
her possession, and there is nothing to
disprove her assertion that she receiv-
ed it somewhere in change. Meanwhile
the boy who carries the roll quietly
disappears. Often he sells newspapers
as a blind. Have a paper, miss?' he
will cry and hands the shower bill
under the folded sheet. Altogether
it is highly skilled trade. The upper
class showers are very seldom caught. !"

DANGER in CHEAP GLASSES
A Great Many Eyes Ruined by At
temDts Mt Economy.

Looking back now to the time when
the itinerant quack doctor and the
wandering dentist spread misery and
destruction over the land, we wonder
at the ignorance or carelesSneSS of our
fathers in trusting their teeth or even
their lives to hands so untrustworthy.
A very similar thing is done today by
people who buy spectacles or eyeglass-
es from men who sell them on the
streets or have their eyes fitted by OPP
ticians who have no qualifications for
doing the work.
A surprising number Of people buy
their glasses from vendors on the
streets. They get glasses for 80 cents
which seem to them just as good as a
pair they would pay SIS for having
made on an oculist's prescription. and
they think they have saved money.
Glasses acquired in all sorts of ways
by Inheritance or exchange from q
friend or even glasses found on the
streets are used to the detriment, even
to the destruction, of the wearer's
sight.
Ieople seeli W llihh Si'SsSS "i'
like clothes." said an old oculist the
other day. "and if they are fairly com
Portable and look well they ask no
further questions"
Another way in which people dam
age their eyes is through carelessness
in trying to remove dust or cinders
from them. They try themselves, a
friend tries a rub, the nearest drug
store and the nearest optician are call
ed on, all before an oculist is consult
cd. The result is that the eyehall is
often badly rubbed and scraped, and
in many instances permanent injury is
done.-New York Evening Post.

PAID BY UNCLE SAM.
Some of the Odd Expenses the Gov
eminent Has to Bear.


Every on. knows that it costs almost
$500, OOO,OOO a year to run the United
States government in times of peace
and that the department of war and
the navy, the Indian and pension bu-
reaus absorb the larger part Of this
amount, but in the course of years q
large number of dependents upon In
Gle Sans purse have come into being
of which the general public knows lit
tie.
Such, for example, are the interna-
tional bureau for the repression of the
African slave trade, located at Brus-
sells, a highly laudable institution, to
the expenses of which our government
contributes 500 a year; the interna-
tional bureau of weights and measures,
also at Brussels, to which 1920 is con-
tributed, and the International Geodet-
ic association. the expenses of which
our government shares to the extent
OF 1900 yearly.
AS leading member of a group of
and philanthropic work we subscribe
$325 a year to lighthouse service on
the coast of Morocco, about $4,000 to
be divided among citizens of other
lands for service rendered to ship
wrecked American seamen, $500 year
toward maintaining a hospital for sail
ors at Panama and $4,000 for keeping
and feeding American convicts impris-
Oned in foreign countries.
Among the unfamiliar purposes in
the home country for which money is
appropriated from the federal treas
ury is the maintenance of the Wash
