!. ec.aplc Cure For Earachc.

81 ;.:n afraid have greatly inter
fered with my own practice" said a
celebrated aurist. ''by giving the fol-
lowing advice to many of my friends:
Eat the first symptoms Of earache
let the patient lie on the bed with the
painful ear Uppermost. Fold thick
towel and tuck it around the neck;
then with teaspoon fill the ear with
warm water.
Continue doing this for fifteen or
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
This may be done every hour until
relief is obtained. 1t is an almost in
variable cure and has saved many
cases of acute Inflammation. The wa
ter should be quite warm, but not too
hot.'-London Tit-Bits.

The Man He Wanted.

Senator Clark of Montana had occa-
sion once out in Helena to hire car
riage driver. The roads were noun
famous, and skillful man was need
ed. On the appointed day the candi-
dates for the position appeared. 'You
know where the road runs along the
mountain, with the hill on one side and
a gorge on the other, five miles from
here?" asked Senator Clark, and all
the men nodded affirmatively "How
near can you go to the edge of the
road" was asked, without upsetting
my carriage"
The first man said, -Four feet;" the
next man answered, 1.-TWO feet;" the
third man said that he would drive
close to the edge, and the fourth man
allowed that if one wheel was over
the brink he could still turn the horses
in time to save the carriage.
At last Mr.. Clark turned to brawny
Irishman. What would you do?' he
asked.
"Begorra, Mr.. Clark" said the Irish
man, Il would keep as close to the
side of the hill as | could without pull
ing off wheel"
You are the man l want" replied
Mr.. Clark, and the Irishman got the
job.

African snakes

The African cobra is regarded some
what reverently by the natives cf that
country, who once a year kill cobra
de capello and hang it's skin to the
branch of tree, tail downward. Then
all the children born during the last
year are brought out and made to
touch the skin. This the parents think
puts them under the serpent's protec-
ton. The cobra de capello divides with
the horned viper OF Africa the ques-
tionable honor of being the worm of
the Nile to whose venomous tooth
Cleopatra's death was due.
The naffirS use the venom of this
snakes cousin, the puff adder, to poi
son their arrows. and when they have
any small quantity left they swallow
it, having a theory that it will protect
them from the bad effects of future
bites The Snake tribe of the Punjab
say that the bites of snakes DO not hurt
them. and II they find 4 dead serpent
they dress it in clothes and give it a
superb funeral.

Der vessel, off Rondeau, Can, at
midnight, the former vessel was
sunk and three lives lost, while
several other persons were more

The cause of the collision is not
known. There was no fog whatever
and the night was fairly clear. The
lights of the City of Venice were
burning brightly. To this the crew
and passengers all testify, saying they
could see the light on the City of

His "Kfnner End"

An English clergyman and lowland
schools in Aberdeen. The master re-
ceived them kindly and inquired:
would you prefer that l should
speer question: these boys or that you
should speer them:''
The English clergyman desired the
master to proceed. He did so with
great success, and the boys answered
satisfactorily numerous interrogations
as to the exodus of the Israelites from
Egypt. The clergyman then said he
would be glad to "speer the boys'' and
at once began:
"How did Pharaoh uie?"
There was dead silence.
In his dilemma the lowland gentle
man interposed:
81 think, sir, the boys are not accuS-
toned to your English accent. Let me
try what can make of them" And
he inquired in broad Scottish:
"Hoo did Phawraoh dee?"
Again there was dead silence, upon
which the master said

Then the voter should pass out of the

The BOX Tortoise.

Though the tortoise is slow of foot,
it is quick to make the best of all its
available modes of defense. The box
tortoise possesses a singular defensive
apparatus. The plastron or shell COW
ering the under part of the body is SO
formed that it's front segment can be
drawn upward to protect the animals
head, the head meanwhile being drawn
back under the carapace or shell on the
back of the tortoise
The upper and under shells then meet
in front, forming a kind of box in
which the creature is unassailable.
When the danger is passed, the reptile
relaxes muscle, and the raised part
of the plastron falls, allowing the head
and fore feet to come forth. This NOV
able plate is fastened to the plastron
by strong hinge of elastic ligament.
