r I KM ! POINTS ABOUT THE EARS. The Musical and I'nmns'cal Ears How They Can be Distinguished. There is no fart of the head or face that does not express some trait of cliaracter, son;- proiMisitr or prculiur ity of disiositioii. Tlierefore, the ear is indicative of something; and from the fact that it is tin' physical organ for the transmis.ion sound to the brain, it is not unreasonable to infer that its form may be the sign of musical talent, especially as there can be no music with out sound, and the position, as well as the form of the ear, is such as to cateh or receive the undulating impression of the atmosphere. Ears differ in size, in quality, iu form, in thickness, in color, and position on the he:id. In propor tion as the individual ascends in the scale of humanity, of refinement and general culture, so will the ear be more xnuisitvlv formed. The difference will be easily noticed Ix-tween the cars of families that have had their musical talent cultivated for a few generations and those ears of families that have not exercise ! their faculties of music. The day for ear cultivation, like that of the other features, sec ms to be near at hand, l'eople are t:iking more pride than ever in beautifying and perfecting their cars. A coaisr. thick and verr ml ear is certainly not a desirable feature of the head, ln-cause such an ear is but the outward manifestation of the coarse and passionate nature of the inner mail. How delicately ami beautifully formed is the ear of l'atti, the great prima donna! llere:iris lound and undula ting, and becomes her more than the largest gems she wears. The last place to study the ear is in a street car. There is the chanee to observe in al most one sweep of the eve, ungainlv ears, musical and unmusical ears, anil grace ful curves and symmetrical proportions in ears. As a rule, musicians, having intelligent minds and refined natures, will have the most perfectly-formed ears. Hence the ear has a three-fold meaninsr: It is a useful organ, an object of bcautv. and a sign of charae ter. Men and women of very strong and active parous are apt to have cars in full blossom the year round some thing like an old toper's nose. In judg- incr character lrom the color of the ear, howewr, due allowance must le made for the natural complexion of the per son. If the hair is red or auburn and the f:-e fiorid. why the ear will natur ally le of the same color. A little ob servation and critical discrimination will enable anv one to distinguish be tween ens of healthv color and those made red by the indulgence and excite ment of tiie appetites and passions. Allow ance must also le made for very sensitive and blushing people, Icanse fome blush in their ears, as well as in their faces, and if you were to judge of them by the color of their ears at that moment, you would do them an injust ice. It is the general color you must be guided by. and it must always be re ia'uil'ereil that the ears of some persons have " much color and others ton little. Very large may indicate a large-heara-d, generous nature or pro claim a huiiiuii donkey. nia'l earn, as a rule, lielong to people of feeble minds (not idiotic), foolish, or small and mean in nature, as well as in mental jn-iwers. Hut in judging from the ear. the face and Lead should 1 taken into consideration with it, and especially should the shape, thickness and color of the ear be considered iu connection with its size. One thing is certain, and that is. the well-rounded car is associated with love for music, and the more finely formed the ear, the more refined the nature of the person, and, consequently, the more artistical its musical taste, sense and erceptiou. Three is Larger than Four. In many of the southern states the negro farm hands work on what is known as the share system. The land owner furnishes the land, mules and farm implements and advances the supplies. At the end of the crop season the laborer usually gets one-third of the product, corn, cotton, etc. A farmer in Sunflower county, Mississippi, in re-contracting the first of the present year with his laborers for the year 1 found several of them who were unwilling to remain with hiia for one-third of what they produced. ''How much do you want?" inquired the farmer. ""We wants a forf ; tlat's what Mister Mitchell's gwine to gib lies nan's dis yearh." The farmer laughed, and calling to his wife. asked her fc bring out a couple of apple pies she had just baked, and when the pies were produced he cut one of them into three equal parts and the other into four and invited the darkies to help themselves, each to a piece. It is needless to say that the pie that had been cut inte three pieces was the one first attacked. "Xow." said the fanner, jKiinting to the thirds, "that is what I propose to give you, and that."' pointing to the fourths, "is what you say Mr. Mitchell is going to give you; which had you rather JiaveV The darkies oiened their eyes and stared at one another, when the siokes man exclaimed: '"Well! dot pie business do prove dat a free is bigger'n a fo".

Echols county in regard to the ownership of a certain lot of land. I5oth parties were doubt less innocent purchasers, and both thought they li:A good titles. Lawyers were employed and the case was car ried before Judge Ilausell. It seems that both chains of titles went back to a common deed made way back in the forties, perhaps to the grant or the first deed from the grantor. When Judge Hansell examined both sets of titles closely, a jHrculiar smile spread over his face, and he said: Gentlemen,'' hold ing up one chain, "here are the genuine deeds to this land. I was a young Law yer in those days, and I drew this title myself for the grantor. This other title purporting to have lx-en made by him is a forgery,' or words to that effect. Here was the Judg.; a living witness to the genuineness of a deed made forty odd years ago. ' It is a very general belief that dur ing a considerable fall a person must be asphyxiated by the rapid rush through the air, which constantly accelerates as the distance fallen increases. The sui cide of a young eirl by a leap from a height of about 215 feet has raised a discussion of this subject among French tavanti. Dr. Bronardli suggested that asphyxiation may bare caused the girl's death before the ground was reached. ' Mons. Bontemps objects to this view, and points out that the velocity attain ed in such a fall must be sometimes ex ceeded by railway trains, and yet engi neers and stokers are never asphyxiated. Mons. Remy states that in 1652 he was shown a native of the island of Oahu who had fallen from a verified height of about 1000 feet with but little injury, his fall having been broken near the end by a growth of ferns and other plants. The weight of opinion seems to favor the view that, if asphyxia ever results during fall, the distance fallen must be very great.

Ciitcbkixo has made many a weary lack, it will always be so. especially in colder weather, until people learn to have the cream at right temperature. G uessing at it is a good way to get tired. The cream should be put into a warm room several hours before churning. When the weather is freezing and it is very cold It must be placed by the stove and made warmer than the tempera ture of an ordinary room. In hot weather of course it must be cooled. The cream may be warmed by putting hot waterin to the churn. It should show a temperature ef about 04 degrees as near this as possible- It is so easy with a 25 centthermometer to know the tem perature of the cream that it seems queer everybody don't have one. When the cream is too warm the butter will come, but it will be soft and white, and of course, poor. It should be cooled when this is the case as sodii as it is known to be too warm, with ice or cold water. If it is too cold the cream will foam and swell, and it will not come. It should be warmed as soon as this condition is found out. When the cream get very thick after churning a while and does not churn well, It should have a little vsarm water poured into the churn. When the cream is very thick there is so much butter that it cannot float, and more liquid is re quired to get the butter into (shape. Generally there is enough. There is no trouble of this kind when creameries are used, but when the cream is raised In pans, and it is thick and leathery, it is apt to do so. Some people run in a lot of sour milk to make more butter milk and float the butter, but I don't believe in sour milk in cream. It will get rancid if the cream is kept any time. It is better when the cream is too thick to add a little warm or cold water, as the case may be, I used to dash a churn, but now 1 Lave a Stoddard barrel churn, and it saves a heap of work and makes the handling of the butter so much easier. It takes longer, if everything is all right, to get the butter from sweet cream than sour. Don't mix sweet and sour cream toge ther just before churning, or the sweet cream will pass off in buttermilk and be lost. Mix it ahead and stir it welL "TiCKixa and Tacking Apples. Let winter apples and pears remain on the tree as long as possible. It make the flavor sweeter and richer. Then gather them carefully by hand, with the stems on. If you want to get back about the cost of the freight on them, tumble them into a barrel any way and every way and you will get just about the cost of the freight, if yon can get rid of them at all. But if you want first-class prices for your apples and get a reputation as a No. 1 fruit raiser and packer, read. As the apples are picked put them in single layers in broad, shal low baskets, with the bottom covered with paper or moss. If you must put more than one layer in the same bas ket, separate them with something soft. Ii ..ii bhould only be picked when dry. Take the apples, by hand, remember, from the basket, and lay them in heaps in a large dry room. Let them lie there and dry and cool for a couple of weeks. Then comes packing them in barrels. Throw out all knotty, bruised and specked specimens. If you wish to secure a good reputation as a packer. Put them In barrels, one layer at a time. Those very particular lay the ap ples all one way, stem and blossom end. l'ack the fruit as close as possible, so that it will not pitch about and get dis placed on its journey, fill the barrel quite to the top, and head up. Tress the head firmly against the apples. Some put a layer of soft paper upon the bottom and inside the head of the bar rel. Haul the barrels to market with the least possible "jolting. With your apples picked and barreled in this way, they will go around the world without rotting, and you need never fear that you will be without a market for them. Dealers will jump at them and children wUl cry for them. Many farmers do not feed turnips liecause the stock will not partake of them when they can get better mate rial. Something depends upon the manner in which ttey are fed. No animal cares for a hard, woody or fro zen turnip, nor should the roots be fed without some preparation. The better method is to steam them and add ground grain, but the majority of far mers object .to the labor of such a pro ceeding. A root sheer, however, may' be used, by which the turnips may be sliced. They should then be covered with water over night, sprinkled with meal and salt the next morning and fed. They are, of course, not as valua ble as hay, corn, fodder or grain, but they serve an excellent dietary purpose, increasing the appetite and assisting to keep the animals in good condition. With most animals bred and raised on the farm the question of profit da pends mostly with the methods adapt ed for handling young and crowing animals, but with the horse this ques tion of profit in a great measure de pends upon the judgment used in se lecting the sire. It is estimated that if a hen lays only one egg a week she will pay for her food: Estimating her value at $1. if she lays 72 eggs a year, or tlx dozen, the thirty eggs extra w.ill represent the interest on the $1, lAr&wlie rent of quar ters and labor will reduce it. An aver age of 100 egss saould be secured from a large flock, though some will lay 150 eggs. Ax experienced beekeeper states that colonies do not suffer from having the hives located near a railway station or machine-shops, where there Is much noise and smoke. The bees, if brought to the place when quiet prevails, soon become accustomed to their peculiar surroundings, and ''gather honey all the day,'' notwithstanding the noise, jar, and smoke. Eastern fruit-raisers who packed apples in flour-barrels hist fall found the contents of the packages to be in bad condition. The flour between the staves of the barrels absorbed moisture, and, becoming moldy, conveyed a disa greeable smell and taste to the apples, and in some cases caused them to rot The plants known as weeds are the coating which nature has taken to cover up her waste places and neg lected soil. Without such a covering the soil would become sterile unless cultivated by man. Teach the calf to eat whole oats by the time it is three weeks old, by slip ping a few small handfuls into its mouth just after it has dranTc milk. When it has learned to eat them, keep a supply before It in a little box. From experiments on the growth of wheat, rye, barley, and oats in solutions of various concentration, it would feem that oats are the least able to flourish in solutions having the strength of 0.5, 2.5, 5, and 10 per cent. This is in accordance with the well-known fact that a crop of oats on a soil In poor con dition is frequently better than that grown on the same soil which had been much improved by manuring.

Look over a quart of berries, rejecting the soft ones, wash and put over the Are In a porcelain -lined kettle with a small tea cup of cold water; let them boil for a few minutes nntil the berries burst and mash easily. " Stand a colander on a plate, turn the fruit into it and im mediately place the colander over the same kettle out of which you have turned them (do not wash the kettle.) Mash the fruit through the colander un til only the skins remain (a patent flour sifter takes less time, but it is a little hard on the sifter); put the juice on the plate with the rest and eight good tablespoonfuls of white sugar and boil well for fifteen minutes; have your mould in cold water; do not dry it be fore turning the benies into it.

Lamps are the fashion able means of lighting at present in fashionable houses, and what is more they are filled with cotton seed oil, which gives a clear, lovely flame, with-' out the poison of gas or the pungency tnd risk of kerosene. It has been dis covered that complexions wither and wrinkles appear early in the dry, dele terious air of gas-lit rooms. Candles are pretty, but must be used with care, and fashion returns to the stately oil lamp, gorgeous in Limoges enamels, painted Dresden and pierced bronze, really the most ornamental form of lighting and the least tax on house keepers. Cotton oil bids fair to be as cheap as the better grades of kerosene, with the advantage of a practically in exhaustible supply. The next thing will be to offer a perfumed oil that dif fuses a faint incense through the room. The change will not deprive us of the graceful chandelier, which ultra-fashionable people hang with pendant lamps or strings or cressets, such as burn in oriental churches. Tipsy Charlotte. One large stale spongecake, one pint rich sweet cream, one cup sherry wine, one-half ounce Cooper's gelatine, soaked in a cup of cold water two hours, one teaspoonf ul vanilla or bitter almond extract, three eggs, whites and yelks beaten together, but very light, one pint milk, one cup sugar. Heat the cream almost to boil ing; put in the soaked gelatine and half a cup of sugar and stir until dis solved. Remove from the fire, flavor, and, when cool, beat or churn to a standing froth. Cut off the top of the cake in one piece and scoop out the middle, leaving the sides and bottom three quarters of an inch thick. Over the mside of these pour the wine in spoonfuls, that all may be evenly moistened. Fill with the whipped cream, replace the top, which should also be moistened with wine and set in a cold place until needed.

These must lie reached by Inward application, and not by outward attempUut concealment, and the ladies niay take hope from the fact that tboiiKinds of their sisters have made them selves more radiant and beautiful by tbe ue of Ilr.

Dr. l'ierce's "Golden Medical Itis. covery" Is a positive remedy for the disease in Its early stages. It is delay that is dan gerous, if you are troubled with shortness of breath, spitting of blood, night-sweats or a lingering couh, do not hesitate to pro cure this sovereign remedy at once.

Our readers will notice in this week's issue, on this page, a change from the small advertisement of Le Page's Liquid Glue, showing tbe small can or bottle. Instead of tbe simple announcement of its merits, those who use it, amount of sales, bow sample can be obtained, etc. the Russia Cement Company perform a praise worthy act in revealing a fraud which Is the more contemptible, be cause it affects only the smallest size for family use (of bottle goods), and 1 t hnrafriro ftfTm-f thnq u-hoj ftro nMirraT to buy in small quantities rather than those who are able to stand the Imposi tion. In addition to the statements of the advertisement, which we have from good authority are exact in details, we have it from sources unquestioned that variousstateinentspromuljated through the press, by show cards, &a, of other glues as receiving endorsements from high Government officials, are entire fabrications with not even the color of truth. In point of fact, the Smithso nian Institution (as well as other Gov ernment Departments) have used, and still use, I-e Page's Liquid Glue ex clusively, reason for which is found in its containing no acid, while we are in formed all others have an acid base; and in its superior strength. At New Orleans, on a Riehle Testing Machine, block of Georgia pine, one inch square, butted, registered 1012 pounds before parting. Le Page's Liquid Glue does not need our especial praise; the fact tbat such manufacturers as the Pullman Palace Car Co., have adopted it shows its worth to every wood worker, and for every family in tbe land. The resurrection is the silver lining to tbe dark cloud of death, and we know the sun is shining beyond. Catarrhal Headache. I TnrxK Ely's Cream Balm is the best remedy for catarrh I ever saw.

"Excuse me sir," said the old gentle man to him; "but that is a wise deter mination. Mr. Russell is one of the greatest comedians of the present time. 1 know of no actor who possesses such extraordinary histrionic talents."

And pray, may I aiik where yon saw him last?" "WelL the last time I seen Sol." re plied the stranger, "was at Milwaukee about a year ago. He was settin' m the rianklnton House behind three of the biggest jacks ever showed down." "I don't know that I understand you," said the old gentleman; "what was the play?" "Three of a kind." said the stranger, "and a mighty good play it was, too." "Comedy?" asked the old gentleman. "Waal, no leastwise not for the rest er us fellers," said the stranger. "We kind o' reckoned as how it was tragedy when we saw him rakin' in the pot." "Gee-whilllkins!" cried the old gen tleman, as his white hair raised up.aud his benevolent face stretched out about :t yard long; "you don't mean to tell me that my boy that my Sol plays cards!" 'Tour boy your Sol!" repeated the stranger, "Say, look a-here stranger, who be you anyway?" "Who o I?" gasped the old gentle man. "Why, I'm Mr. Adams, other wise known as 'Oliver Optic,' and I'm Sol Smith Russet's father-in-law." Little Nell "We had lovely times at the seashore this summer. Where did you go?"
