Not Above the Snow Line.
A bridegroom took his wife on a tour to
Switzerland for the honeymoon, and when
there induced her to attempt with him the as-
cent of the highest peak. The lady, who at.
home had never ascended a hill higher than a
church, was much alarmed, and had to be
carried by the guides with her eyes blind-
folded, so ns not to witness the horrors of the
passage. The bridegroom walked close to her,
expostulnting respecting her fears. He spoke
in “honeymoon whispers,” but the rurcfac-
tion of the air was such that every word was
audible. “You told me, Loonora, that you
always felt happy, no matter where you
were, so long as you were in my company.
Then, why are you not happy now l" "Yes,
Charles, I did," replied she, sobbing hysteri-
cally, “butl never meant above the snow
line. "—Ouida’s Gossip.
How Milk Should 130 Kent.
Consumers of milk are too often indifferent
to their ways of keeping milk after it rcacheo’
them. When delivered in cans, it is a com-
mon custom of many people to draw from
the same as they need it, and possibly a can
may not be emptied until a. fresh supply is
received. As soon as the milk is brought it
should be poured into a glass or earthenware
pitcher, and when this is emptied it should
be made absolutely clean and then well aired.
Those who have young children dependent
Upon milk food ought to receive a frcSh sup
ply of milk both morning and night, other-
wise in the warm months it is oxtremcly lia-
ble to become unwholosome. With but few
in‘ cities is this possible, and, therefore, in
summer it will be well to weld the supply
when received, to prevent its becoming sour.

years. It became chronic, and there was
a constant dropping of mucous matter.
It extended to my throat, causing hoars-

indeed, for years I was not able to speak
more than thirty minutes, and often this
with great difficulty. I also, to a great
extent, lost the sense of hearing in the left

CONCERNING THE EARS.
COMMON PRACTICES WHICH ARE
SURE TO INJURE THEM.
A l’artlal Description of the Organ—Dim-
gors h'om Plcklng the Ears-Favorite
Remedies Forbldacn—Thoso Who Under-
Itaud Should Be Consulted.
The cars are so often subject to disease, es-
pecially in early life, that people should
know more of .them than they now generally
do. A little. but not much, can be said about
the care they need. The real apparatus of
hearing is fortunately so well constructed
and so well protected in its situation, it does
very well, as a rule, under the “let alone
treatment.” There is much, however, to be
said about what ought not to be done to the
ears, for habits which tend toinjuro them are
exceedingly common. Again, people should
be better informed about the diseases of these
important organs, not only for the reason
that many of them may be prevented, but
because, as a general thing, they are improp-
erly treated. Considering these facts, it is
assumed that; a discussion of the subject will
has of interest.
Anatoniists have divided the car into three
parts. A description of two is comparatively
easy, but of the other is too difficult to under-
take. The drum of the car is the dividing
line between the external and the so called
middle ear. The drum lies about an inch and
it quarter within t e passage. Beyond the
drum is the actual , ing apparatus The
outermost part of the external car is, asevery
one of course knows, trumpet shaped, so as
to receive and collect sounds from all quar-
tors. The middle ear, lying back of the drum,
is a small cavity, which communicates with
deep caverns, which are also a part of the
hearing apparatus.
'an‘. EUSTACHIAN TUBE.
The middle ear also communicates with the
upper part of the throat—properly the pha-
rynx—by a narrow passage called the Eusta-
chian tube. Hence it will be seen that but
for the drum of the ear there would be one
continuous passage from the outer ear to the
throat. Patients who have suffered perfora-
tion of the drum will very readily appreciate
this fact, for in blowing the nose the air
escapes throu h the ear with a whistling
sound. The ustachian tube plays several
important parts. Were it not for that the
drum, owing to the absence of air on one side,
would not vibrate, and the hearing power,
while not necessarily wholly destroyed, would
be very much impaired. This general idea
of the ear is about the. best one can acquire
without considerable study and. the aid of
charts. At any rate it is quite sumcient for
the purpose of this discussion.
Although the drum of the ear lies an inch
and a quarter within the passage, it is very
often injured, and, in fact, destroyed by the
wanton carelessne- in picking the ears. An
instrument quite often used for that put-pom
is the hairpin. Never put anything into
your cars but your elbow, is sound advice,
and if universally followed there would be
decidedly fewer cases of deafness. In picking
the ears, possible injury to the drum isby no
means the only danger to be apprehended.
The lining of the our passage is quite sensi-
tive to irritation. It requires but very little
rubbing or scratching to inflame it, and even
if that irritation be limited to the outermost
partof the passage, as it is where only the
finger is used, there is a decided tendency for
the trouble caused to extend up to and in-
volve the drum. Many people must have
noticed that after even gently picking the
car there soon was felt an uncomfortable
sense of fullness deep within, giving evidence
of an extension of the irritation. Picking
the car, even if limited to the outer part of
it, also gives rise to small abscesses, which
many can testify are exceedingly painful
and slow to disappear.
There isnaturally always a small amount
of wax in the ears. People generally think
that they should remove that from time to
time, and for the purpose a variety of ear
spoons have been constructed. If: is true that
there are occasional cases where the wax ac—
cumulates tosuc'h an extent it threatens to
fill up the passage. But that condition of
things is scarcely over noted in ahealthy ear.
Nature has made such provisions that the
wax is properly disposed of if it is not med-
dled with. The glands which Secrets it are
on the upper wall of the passage, which has
just. sufficient “pitch" to let it roll out. If
one knows this fact he need not try to aid
nature in removing the wax, for in doing so
he will most probably defeat her plans by
pushing it far within, where the floor of tho
canal-slopes in the opposite direction. That
done, the wax is liable to remain there until
picked 9‘.‘ or in some other way removed. It
is gener'u‘ y the rule that where one is care
ful to keep the our free of wax, its secretion
is very greatly increased in consequence of
the irritation set up.
DANGEROUS PRACTICES.
After what has been said it will be soon
that all interference with the outer passage
of the ear is fraught. with danger, and even
in using the towel after bathing the face, the
parts about the ear should be touched with
great gentleness. And here it is well to say
that many people incautiously make them-
selves deaf by using a towel or handkerchief,
rolled in the shape of a wedge, to Wipe out; the
car. An occasional itching of the ear is al-
most always overcome by rubbing near the
passage just in front of the ear. Where the
itching is quite constant, a diseased condition
of the lining of the passage will be found,
and to effect a cure the services of a physician
willbeneeded. The itching may be tempo-
rarily relieved with warm, weak saleratus
water, dropped into the passage.
It is a common practice in such cases and
many others to drop into the ear swoet oil or
glycerine. Their use can scarcely ever be
justified, and certainly in some conditions of
the car it is absolutely forbidden as harmful.
Not only is itching when severe an evidence
of trouble within the car, but all such sensa-
tions, as of fullness, of burning or of point, also
indicate that there is some disease going on
therein, and, of course, a physician shouldbo
consulted. For these symptoms and for some
others the syringe is frequently brought into
service. Very generally that instrument isa
small glass affair which is well nigh valueless
for the purpose to which it is put. To syringe
out the cars is a very nice operation, and one
can scarcely do it properly without being in-
structed by a physician. .
Where there is any deposit in the car, as of
hardened wax, ctc., n. considerable quantity
of water must be thrown into it in order to
do any good. Again, the stream must be
properly directed or more harm than good
will result; instead of being dislodged and
washed out, the ofi‘ending substance to be re
moved will be driven- further in and become
packed against the drum. ,Then there are
other things to be considered in this connec-
tion. In using a. syringe, if astream of water
is thrown against tho drum with too great a
force, injury is sure to result. In that way
it is possible to rupture the drum, but if that
is not done inflammation will very likely be
the consequence.
too cold may set up an inflammation. There—
fore, all things considered, the rule is fixed
that syriiiging the car should never be done
unless a physician has advised it and given
ample instructions as to all its details—Boa
ton Herald.

by them of from 6 to Spot cent. annually,
and the managers of some of the lines propose
to still further increase the profit by substie

“Etch America Wants and 13 Searching
Fur-The Village of Custri.
Woliave no wish to deprive the Hellenic king-
«lcni of a good bargain, or the American repub-
licof as many statues, and temples, and bronzcs
and wins as it can discover, and it may be
first, by the purchase and removal of the lit-
tle vfilagc of Castri, the way might be pre-
pared for discoveries more extensive and val-
uable than any which have as yet: attended
modern explorers at Delphi. But the village
isa small and insignificant one, and stands
onnnarrow strip of ground between what
are called the ruins of Delphi and the point
at which the spurs of Parnassus descend
pretty sheer to the spot whence still bubbles
What is called the Custalian ifountaiu.
Hence the urea to be excavated, if we sup—
poss the villagers of Castri to be exprOpri-
ated for the purpose, is not very extensive.
There is a perpetual glamour about the
very name of Greece, and an added spell
round that of Delphi, which will make up for
many things the travclcr might expect to
find and will not. For instance, he Will find
scrub and rank grass instead of. wood and
trees, and nowhere, save at the Castaiian
fmmtain, or where the Flcsitus flows, will
find water. Greece is, as it was, a somewhat
waterless land. Nor are the hills very strik—
ing; in outline; and the twin peaks of Parnas-
sus are here too nigh to do themselves jus-
tice. [hit the gulf of Corinth lies like a sil-
ver lnkii below; and, with the help of 2111 Oil-

work lifiinsclf into the feeling that his fits-t are
carrying him over sacred ground. ‘i'licn he

There IS one story on Tim Campbell which
he himself relates and which has not yet seen
the lizht; of day; a. story the point of which
Tim l .as probably not seen himself yet, for he
tells i"; in an innocent way which, of course,
adds much to its flavor.
Mi. Campbell has a. strong appreciation of
his dignity. It does not oppress—it sustains
and comforts him. Not long ago he was
walling through the corridors of the house
wing of the Capitol when a woman spoke to
him and said: _

sized ihis remark with a. sweeping gesture,
which. included in its scope the entire force of
house cmploycs from the clerk to the door-
keepdcs.
The little woman looked up into Mr. Camp—

“I'm Mr. Glover’s wife,“ she said.
“I thought you were,” said Hon. “Tim" in
:1. tom: that showed that the fact did not im-
’ press him very seriously.
“You‘re Mr. Campbell. are you not?" said
Mrs, Glover.
“I sun,” said the Hon. “Tim” in his most
impreissive way.
“I thought you were," said Mrs. Glover,
quietly, as she turned and walked away:—

The Graphic Account of a Most Won-
der-{u Occurrence which Took Place
In Klingston, N. Y.
(Such-l Correspondence Boston Paper.)
An event has taken place in this city sore-
markabloin its nature, that I venture to des-
cribeicln full. The principal in the affair is
Mr. Jere Smith, son of Cornelius B. Smith, of
the State Insurance Department at Albany,
who is well known, . tands very high, and is in
every way reliable. I have had a long and most
intercstinginteryiew with him, whichItraus—
cribe and send you in his own words, trusting
it may, prove valuable to your readers:
“During last year," he said. “I could not
understand what was the trouble with me.
I had always felt strong and hearty, but I gra-
dually became aware that. somethin was un-
derminlng me. I first began to fee drowsy.
' , ._.. \ and then in alley or twn I
- would be unnaturally wide
a. w a k 9. Strange pains
would come in different
parts of my body. M
\liead did not ache muc
but it usually felt heavy.
I was sometimes hungry
and sometimes I hated
food, while my sleep was
very irregular. I could
0/ not understand what it
. meant. but thought it
- ‘ - might pass away after a
time: but it did not. I don‘t. see how I could
have been so blind, but I suppose I was like
most people who are troubled iu the same way.
and thought it nothing dangerous. After
awhile I notlced a peculiar color and odor
about the fluids I was passing: that the were
dark at times and very light at others. nally
I began to gain flesh, but I knew that it was
unnatural and that I was bloating. This fright-
ened mo and I consulted physicians. who were
vet kind in their attentions. but did not help
me n the least. My father then went with me
to New York, and we consulted the eminent Dr.
Key who treated me for several weeks. At
that o my condition was horrible.
bloated from head to foot, it was almost impos-
sible to breathe, and I could not sleep. In
several places on my body the skin burst opten,
sogreat was the pressure from within. he
agony I endured was indescribable. Then the
doctor told me my case was hopeless, that I had
Bright’s disease in its worst form, and that I had
on] a few days to live."
” ortunately I had afriend who accompanied
me and would notsec me die without astruggle.
He dldrnoi: urire, he‘lmistcd on in making one
more effort. and I did so. I notice an improve-
ment at: once: in four days the swelling greatly
decreased and the pain wholly ceased. I con-
tinued to improve and am a well man to—day
and owe my life to the marvellous effects of
that wonderful preparation—Hunt's Remedy.
I believe this is the greatest mciicine that
was ever discovered by man, and I only wish
the whole world might know what it has done
for me."
“1 kn ow there are thousandsofpcople troubled .
as I wasand in ust as great dun er, but they no
not realize it. right’s disease the most de~
ceptive, the most hor-
rible malady the world
has ever known. It has
no settled symptoms, but
assumes every imaginable
form. I had no idea that
it was Bright's disease that
was undermining me until ,

tion 7"
Such is the account of probably as narrow an
escape from death as was ever known. The
first. symptoms which Mr. Smith felt‘werc such
as many others feel but do not consular worth
noticing. It is plain, however, that the early
indications of a dangerous disease cannot be
triflcd with, but must be met prompt! , and by
such a remedy as has been proven to indeed
a friend in time of need.
