1mprovement of Corn.

"Uncle Henry" WalIace,is devoting a
good deal of space in his paper Wal
laces' Farmer to the improvement of
Iowa Corn. He calls attention to the
fact that while the Iowa Farmer has

ty years and more he has given very
little attention to the great Iowa crop,
corn Among the many articles which
have appeared in Wallace's Farmer on
this subject has been series by Prof.
Shemel, of Illinois, the corn expert,
and these are illustrated by q number
of photographs showing different va
rieties of corn, perfect and imperfect
ears, the most profitable to raise, etc.
The average Iowa farmer thinks he
knows as much about corn as anybody
does but we miss our guess If he can
not learn lot from these articles In

lMPACTED EAR WAX.
Where 1t Comes From and How I,
Should he Treated.

Where II Comes FrOm ana HOW III
Should he Treated.
The normal secretion of the orifice
Of the ear is the product of glands
situated in the outer half of the canal
only. This secreton-the cerumen, or
ear waX-is slowly poured from the
gland ducts as thin, yellowish liquid.
AS it quickly loses a large amount Of
its watery elements by evaporation
and becomes admiXed with dust it
forms a thin layer, waXlike in color
and consistency, which normally COW
ers only the outer portion of the canal,
that in which the glands are located.
This layer of material probably has
its chief function, in common with the
few small hairs in the same location,
in protecting the Migratory membrane
the drum-from the contact of dust.
1t is interesting to observe that the
exit of this layer of wax is accom-
plished by nature chiefly with the aid
of the motion communicated to the
ear canal by the movement of the jaw
in chewing and talking, n motion read
fly felt by touching the oritice with
the finger tip during these processes.
The constant increase of the secretion
is therefore provided with CORE
spending loss, which takes place almost
as imperceptibly as the constant loss
of the superficial layer of the skin from
the surface of the body.
This explanation serves to make
clear why the use of ear spoons, pins
or hairpins is unnecessary. The use
of such objects is not only superflu-
Gus, but it is often the cause of the
very condition which those who use
them would prevent.
Even too vigorous washing with a
twisted cloth or sponge, for example,
may result in pushing the wax back
into the canal until mass sufficient
| to block the entire opening is accumu-
lated.
The first intimation of the presence
of impacted wax is often the sudden
| occurrence of considerable degree OF
deafness. This is most likely to hap
pen on damp day or just after or dur
ing bath. A slight amount of mois
ture causes the mass to swell SO thai
the narrow chink previously existing
between the mass and the canal i.
closed If it is not now removed, the
mass may shrink and the hearing pow
er be temporarily restored, only to bt
lost again when conditions arise caus
ing an increase in the size of the mass
Firm, gentle Swinging with warn
water from piston ear syringe is usu
ally regarded as the safest and bes
method of removing the mass, the
handling of which had better be IN
trusted to physician or trained nurse
If possible.-Youth's Companion.

Cedar Rapids Carnival.

Some six years ago couple of young
business men of Cedar Rapids, who
were temporarily out of business at the
time, conceived the idea of an annual
carnival, and with the assistance of
three or four other business men, car
ried the first carnival through success
fully. These two young men, however,
little thought from their small begin
ming what growth was in store for the
carnival. A year or two later COM
pany was formed into q joint stock ar
rangement by about thirty five or forty
OF the leading business men of the city.
In another year it was deemed advisa-
bic to increase the capital stock, and
take in number of other business men,
until now about seventy..five of the
cream of the business men of Cedar
Rapids are stockholders in the carnival
company, no stockholders being allowed
to hold more than 5000 worth of stock.
This arrangement scatters 1t out SO that
every business interest is represented,
and the carnival is not and can never
be controlled by any clique or ring.
The first carnival was originated and
carried successfully through with plenty
of brains and plenty of energy, but
without single dollar of capital. -Four
or five hundred dollars was expended in
| fireworks, $500 or $500 in vaudeville
performers, 5000 or $500 expended in
advertising and yet the idea caught,
and the people came. Today, there is
considerable difference.
Before the gates are open for bust
ness at II o'clock Monday, September
80, 1902, the present carnival company
will have incurred liability of $4,000
for Peine's newest and grandest spec
tacular fireworks ever presented IL
America; $4,000 in spot cash for adver
Using; $1,000 to $4,000 for dozen OF
more of the very highest class vaude-
vile performers that can be secured in
America, regardless of price; $4,000 to
$4,000 for race-meeting; $4,000 for {
stock sale; $4,000 for q floral parade
travelling mems parade, horse show, ant
kindred parades. Several thousandld0l
lars for other incidentals, so tina q
stated before, before the gates open 70
business, anywhere from $22,00Oto $25,
600 for expenses will have been incurred
by the Cedar Rapids Carnival Co., whict
expenditures will bring together tn
highest and most expensive array of at
fractions that has ever been presented
in one park in this country, positivel!
excelling any other feature or the large
and noted parks of Chicago, Manhattan
. Beach and Coney Island. When tb
, management make this statement
they make 1t advisedly and without fea
of contradiction.
While the railroads to some exten
concede the greatness of the Cedar Raj
ids Carnival by assisting US in ever
possible shape and manner and by Civ
ing us One-half rates on all railroad
, within q radius of'!100 miles, they wi
, in another year find their mistake an
