To Remove Insect IN Ear.

If an insect gets into persons ear
the person should lie down at once
on the opposite side and have the af
fected ear filled up with sweet olive
oil, which will probably kill the insect
and cause it to float to the part of
the ear where it can be picked out.

The Wisconsin State fair year ago
was participated in by a greater num-
Der of counties than in any year pre-
ceding. The officers of the fair declared
that it's success was based more upon
the interest displayed by the individual
counties than upon any other one
thing.
The counties will again receive spe-
cial attention this year, many reserva-
tions having already been made for
space. The county exhibits serve a
two fold purpose, not only adding
greatly to the attractiveness of the
fair, but centering attention upon the
resources Of the state, which cannot
be effectively shown in any other prac-
ticable way.

BALANCING 10 Music.

One Of the most difficult trials that
an equilibrist OF any kind can under
take is to give an exhibition without
the aid OF an orchestra. Good, stirring
music Is OF immense assistance to the
performer in more ways thGA one In
the first place, 1t encourages and gives
confidence to an extent which would
astound any one who had never before
experienced it By always performing
to one tune the artist is able to take
his cues from 1t, and he keeps time
much as a step dancer does. The mu'
sic enables the performer to conine
his attention to what he Is doing BY
drowning any small noises among the
audience which might distract him
Most equilibrists during what they
consider their browning feat dispense
with the orchestra, and this adds con-
siderably to the danger.

Is for the lady to use her name hyphe-
