Expenafve Courtship.

Recently a young Frenchman Of good
family, but very poor, fell in love with
a bankers daughter, and, obtaining a
letter OF Introduction to her father,
called on him. He found him at home,
and pleasant conversation followed.
AS he talked, however. the young
man fumbled with a gold coin. the only
money he possessed. and when he rose
to take leave he removed it from his
waistcoat pocket and put it, without
thinking, into his trousers pocket. AS
he was strOlling home he looked for
the coin, but, alas, it was not to be
found, for there was a small hole in
his trousers pocket, and as soon as he
had put it in it fell noiselessly on the
velvet carpet in the bankers drawing
room.
AS he sorely needed the money the
young man, though much against his
will, resolved to go back and inquire
about it.
YES" said the banker as be entered;
81 found a gold coin. on the carpet as
soon as you left the room, and l was
not surprised, for l lost similar coin
in that very place two days ago. This,
therefore, is my money, and we will
now look for yours
The banker smiled as he spoke but
the penniless young man turned his
back on him and abruptly left the
house.

A simple Cure For Earache.

celebrated aurist, 'by giving the fol.
lowing advice to~Gnany Of my friends:
AT the first symptoms OF earache
let the patient lie on the bed with the
painful ear Gppermost. Fold thick
towel and tuck it around the neck
then with teaspoon fill the ear with
warm water.
Continue doing this for fifteen OF
twenty minutes. The water will fill the
ear orifice and flow over ON the towel
Afterward turn over the head, let the
water run out and plug the ear with
warm glycerin and cotton.

relief is obtained. 1t is an almost in.

ing counties, as soon as the wheat is
gathered in the late days of August,
there may be seen in the newly cleared
fields numbers of women and children
diligently picking up one by one the
scattered ears aud forming them into
neat little sheaves which they carry in
their hands until large enough to be
bound up. When the daylight fails, all
the booty is bound up in cloths and
carried home on the heads of the
cleaners. At home they thrash it out
by hand and sell the grain or use it for
their chickens. The gathering of d
