Houses and Their Names.

House owners are sometimes rather I'M
fortunate in their selection of names for
their abodes. and in suburbia house nam
ing is occasionally rather ludicrous. Thus.
The Naples have never a maple near,
1.-THE Rosary only exists in the magma
ton. "Sunnyside" is the most depressing
villa residence and houses named after
the English lakes no more suggest the
lake district than Fleet street suggests the
Bots de Boulogne.
The Anglo-Saxon word "hyrst," signify
ing forest or wood, has become hurst
in house naming and wood and 'nolt''
have the same meaning; all house names
ending with these examinations are pretty
and not unsafe to choose.
1t is curious to note Tat in Hastings
and st. Leonards quite number of houses
have typically Saxon names, perhaps to
commemorate the great Saxon tragedy
of which the name of Hastings is reminis-
cent, says Woman'S Life.
A curious custom in parts of America Is
to call a house by it's owners Christian
name transposed, thus in Quebec an old
residence is locally known as "Darnoc,
and in other districts may be found
'Senga,' "Aidyl' and '"Trebor," and some
times a combination of two names is used,
one favorite being .'Lillemyn"-a fanciful
union Of the names of Lillian and Minnie.

TO PROTECT THE EARS
SPECIAL CARE Is ESSENTIAL IN
WINTER.

Ear troubles are frequent in cold
weather. They develop largely through
the action of cold upon wax in the audi
tory canal. and the proper care of this
becomes matter of Importance. To re-
move too much of the wax means to run
danger of injuring the hearing: to let too
much remain is neither clearly nor wise.
The safe manner of cleaning should be
understood by every person. for the ear
is one of the most delicate organs we
have. and the risk of doing permanent
damage is ever present.
According to one of the best known
aurists in New York, the safest method
of daily cleaning is to put bit of old
thin linen, such as a handkerchief, over
the tip of the little finger and insert
this into the orifice. The cloth should
not go deeper than the finger tips can
reach. In this way there will be no
chance of hurting the hearing.
While this is undoubtedly safe. scien-
tific way, the average woman will find a
hairpin more to her liking. Under no cir
cumstances should stick or other point
ed implement be used, but the loop at
the end of a hairpin prevents its doing
harm unless it is thrust in so hard as to
cause pain. One is not likely to do this.
To wash the interior wet a bit of linen
ana run on some soap, tnen wrap THIS
with one thickness only about the pin
loop and put it gently into the ear.
The cloth may be turned slowly and
then at once removed and a fresh part
taken to repeat the operation. Rinse by
wetting the cloth another time in warm
water.
Cold water should never be used in
cleaning the ears. 1t will tend to harden
the wax, and once this happens DEAFNESS.
though only temporary, will usually en-
sue.
Warm glycerin is the greatest aid when
there is trouble caused by accumulated
and hard wax. In using this put few
drops into the ear at night and rest the
head SO that the lotion will not run out
In the morning a careful cleaning with
hot water may be sufficient to remove the
obstruction, but If 1t is not one should
go Immediately to a physician to have
the canal cleaned
Violent blowing of the nose Is a source
of danger to the ears, and not infreouent-
ly causes temporary deafness by closing
the auditory canal. On the other hand,
sometimes the ears may be cleared when
temporarily stopped by holding the nos
trils closed with the fingers and then
making an effort to blow. The air. max
ing it's escape, finds no outlet through
the nose, and so rushes to the ears, thus
often clearing the passage.
If one effort in this direction. however,
accomplishes nothing, 1t should not be
tried again. for the risk of doing harm
to the ear drum becomes too great.

TENTH ANNIVERSARY
TEN MENUS, DECORATIONS AND
SUITABLE GAMES.

The tin wedding that ma. s the tenth
anniversary may be made very brilliant
affair and one provocative of much fun.
The invitations sent out may be of little
squares OF sheet tin, the wording being
made with paint or a sharp pointed in
strument. These may be inclosed in en-
velopes to fit. For the buffet luncheon
have a large table set entirely with tin
and suitably decorated. On the buffet
have the tin plates. tin cups. knives. forks
and spoons for the different courses. The
guests may stand or sit in the dining
room.
Leave the buffet table bare excepting
for doilies made from tinfoil or silver
paper. or put on a white cloth with deco
rations OF tinfoil. The centerpiece may
be jelly mold holding at this season
any of the wild flowers. such as golden
rod and asters or queens lace with bay
berry sprigs. On either side of the CEN
terpiece have four tin candleStickS, using
candles of a color to fit in with the central
decorations. Have shades covered with
tinfoiI
For serving plates, pie and layer cake
tins should be used. Slender tin mugs
for tumblers. individual gem pans for
salad and tin trays for sandwiches and
cake.
II you wish to carry out further the tin
idea the refreshments may all be timed,
and here again is bountltul supply to
choose from. There are baked beans in
tin cans or baked in individual tin molds,
timed meats for the sandwiches, timed
bouilIon, timed biscuit and waters. timed
fish of various kinds, cheese and bonbons
in tinfoil.
The menu might be something like this:
Bouillon or consomme served in tin cups.
lobster or salmon creamed in little dishes
with sandwiches. jellied chicken or chick
en- croquettes with rolls, and ice with
cake. then coffee.
For games you can play the childrens
oldfashoned game of Spin the Platter"
or Tin, TIM" Furnish each guest with
leader and have an impromptu presen-
tatlon of some popular opera or simply a
collection of popular songs. Among the
TIN instruments suited to the tin orches-
ira are trumpets, harmonious, jews-harps,
cymbalS, horns. comb and a tin pan
for drum. This in case you have leni-
ent neighbors or are a suburbanite with
ample room.
In decorating the house use tin pals,
pans. quart cups, steamers. etc. for hold
ing flowers and vines. Get from some
timer the waVy trimmings of tin and
hang from the chandelier down. inter-
spersed with vines. If your guests are
expected TO bring with them tin gifts,
ask each one as she or he arrives TO tie
the favor to uneven lengths of yellow
and green baby ribbon fastened to d
doorway or the chandelier in the parlor,
where they will keep up a merry jingle.

pre- sent-day airship, with all its startling
feats, is far from perfection. While it
will undoubtedly play most important
part in the battles of the future, its opera

You can take playing card ard throw
