For the Earache.

81 am afraid l have greatly inter
fered with my own practice said a
celebrated aurist, 'by giving the fol
lowing advice to many of my friends:
At the first symptoms of earache, let
the patient lie on the bed with the
painful ear uppermost. Fold a thick
towel and tuck it around the neck;
then with a teaspoon fill the ear with
warm water. Continue doing this for
Is or 20 minutes; the water will fill
the ear orifice and flow over on the
towel. afterwards 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."-From the Family Doctor.

Cornwall They caught a monster oc.
topus twelve feet six inches long, three
feet thick from chest to back, and
three feet across the back, and on
opening the stomach found a mans
shirt inside. The shirt was similar to
that known to have been worn by a
miner, Richard Shaw Burke, who was
lost on the coast several months ago,
and supposed to have been swept from
Trumpeter rock, 80 yards distant from
where the octopus was killed. The
octopus is the largest known of on the
