diseased portions of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deufness, aud that is by constitu

flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deufness is the result, und unless the inflam

A Practical Test.
Dom Pedro, the last emperor of Bra
tll, was a man of a practical turn of
flilnd, as the following story told of him
well Illustrates, says Harper's Round
Table.
He once gave an audience to a young
engineer who came to show him a new
Sppllauce for stopping nillway engines,
'he emperor was pleased with tlis
Idea, but wished to put it to a practical
test.
"Day after to-morrow," said he,
"have your engine ready. We will
have It coupled to my saloon-carriage
ind start. When godng at full speed I
will give the signal to stop and then we
twill see how your invention works."
At the appointed time all was in read
iness. The emperor entered his car
riage, the young inventor mounted his
engine and on they sped for several
miles as fast as they could go. There
came no signal, and the engineer be
gan to fear that the emperor had fallen
jualeep. Suddenly the engineer came to
R sharp curve around the edge of the
cliff, when, to his horror, on the track
directly ahead of them the engineer
saw a huge bowlder.
He had just sufficient presence of
mind to turn the crank of hie brake and
pull the engine up within a couple of
yards of the fatal block.
Here the emperor put Ills head out of
his car window and demanded to know
the cause of the sudden stoppage. The
engineer pointed to the rock, and, much
to his surprise, Dom Fedro began to
laugh.
"Fush it to one side and go on," he
laid* calmly.
The engineer obeyed and kicking the
stone was still further astonished to
crumble into dust before him.
It was nothing more nor less than a
block of starch which the emperor had
hail placed on the rails the night be
fore.
A Simple Firo Extinguisher.
Iland-grenades, the simplest form of
flre-extingulshcr, can bo made at home
Cheaply and easily. And it is well to
have at hand a simple contrivance for
extinguishing a small fire at Its start.
Take twenty pounds of common salt
and ten pounds of sal ammoniac (ni
trate of ammonia, to be had of any
druggist), and dissolve in seven gal
lons of water. I'rocure quart bottles
af thiu glass, such as are ordinarily
ftsed by druggists, and fill with this,
corking tightly and sealing, to prevent
•yvaporation.
In case of fire throw so as to break in
or near the flame. If the fire is in such
R place as to prevent the bottle from
breaking, as in wool or cotton, knock
off the neck and scatter the contents.
The breaking of the bottle liberates
a certain amount of gas, and the heat
of the fire generates more, thus work
ing its own destruction.

Chestnuts.
Every one must have noticed the
difference in size and productiveness
of different chestnut trees iu our
woods, says the Massachusetts Plough
man, some producing large handsome
nuts iu quautity, while others yield
only a meager crop of inferior size.
None of our native nuts, however,
compare at all for size or attractive
ness with the chestnuts of Spain,
Italy and Japan, which are easily
grafted upon the common chestnut of
our woods.
The peculiarities of these large nuts
are not propagated with certainty by
growing seedlings; these differ widely
from each other anil from the parent
tree. It is, however, by no means
difficult to graft the chestnut, and by
this method the different varieties are
perpetuated with certainty. Trees
grown from our native nut make ex
cellent stock upon which to graft the
large varieties.
The Italian anil Spanish chestnuts
are not hardy enough to endure our
climate, but there are severaHarge va
rieties from Japan that are entirely
hardy anil much larger than any of our
native nuts.
If one wishes to grow stocks on
which to graft chestnuts he should
save the nuts now anil pack them
carefully in sand in boxes made of
hemlock boards, which mice and
squirrels dislike to gnaw into, and
these boxes should be covered with a
foot of earth iu a dry place out of
doors; in spring the nuts should be
taken out and planted in rows two
and one-half feet apart, setting the
nuts six inches apart. After the trees
have made one or two years' growth,
they should be grafted near the ground
in early spring and banked up with
earth so as to cover the place where
the scion is inserted, but leaving its
point exposed to the air. As with
any other grafting it is necessary to
bring the iuner bark of the scion and
stock together in order to effect the
union anil to keep out dry air and
sunshine until the union is well per
fected.
The chestnut is a very useful tree
both for its nuts anil wood anil de
serves to be plauted much more large
ly upon our rocky hills where it
grows naturally, except in the more
northern parts of New England.- -

Morp Profit in Sheep Than Poultry.
No one questions the value of a
flock of poultry ou a farm when well
kept. All the estimates as to profits
are too low. There are eggs aud
chickens that go onto the farmer's
table that never get into the account
book. My experience has proved that
with a good market near by, a small
flock, well cared for and skillfully
managed, prolific in producing eggs
and good for rearing chicks, may with
out difficulty pay, in clear profit, the
interest on SSO a year for each hen.
This is only $3, and I have made with
the best of care and management fully
$0 a year from a small flock of light
Brahmas from eggs and chickens
alone. No fancy prices were received
for the eggs. They were simply sold
for domestic use, and were fresh and
guaranteed to be not more than three
days from the hens. Tho broiling
chicks, too, were fed well and reached
a good size early, so that they were
tender and sweet to eat, and brought
a high price.
Perhaps it will not be thought, rea
sonable, but I have found it true in
practice, that a sheep may bo kept for
uo more than a lieu, if mauaged as
they may be. This is counting things
at cost, for it is not fair to [charge
a flock with foddor and grain at the
selling price and then expect it to pay
another second profit. But this is
often done, and yet this second profit
is really made from the sheep. I have
fed sheep for seventy-five cents a year
over and above the value of the fleece
in cases where they have had to be
fed on costly food and liaud-fed the
whole winter. Elsewhere I have fed
Rlieep for seventy-five cents a year, all
expenses included. This is where
they have been pastured nearly the
entire twelve months. It has cost me
the same amount to feed a hen, that
is, as it must bo fed to make a profit.
And in the case of the flock I have
sold three-month-old lambs for $lO a
head, and the ewes, fat in the fall, at
a profit of $3 a head. All this was
clear profit, for in the most expensive
method of feediug the fleece never
failed to pay the sheep's feeding. But
as a rule it is quite possible to feed a
sheep for the same cost as five hens
aud at the average value of their
products the sheep will be far more
profitable thau the hens will.
There is the home market, however,
for the sheep reared on a farm, to the
extent of at least twenty head, and at
the average value of the meat a sixty
pound mutton will be worth six or
seven dollars. Aud just here the farm
ers' meat clubs will serve a good pur
pose. These are mutual associations,
each member of which kills a beef or a
mutton in turn, dividing up the meat
Recording to some rule established ou
* fair anil mutually satisfactory basis,
tu this way the meat is disposed of at
the full butcher,s pricejaud at the end
of the season an accurate divisiou is
made of the funds in hand or of the
sredits, the balance iu cash accruing
to each creditor being settled. In this
convenient way the coat of the meat
supply is reduced to its actual value
and at least one-half the money other
wise paid will be saved. For this mu
tual co-operative business, the sheep is
most acceptable.—Henry Stewart, in
American Agriculturist.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Get rid of all surplus stock.
See that the pullets have comforta
ble quarters.
Sell off all lions that do not show
signs of moulting.
The early hatched pullets will lay
twice as many eggs this winter as the
old hen.
It will pay to have the garden plo
all cleared and ready for plowing this
fall. In fact, won't it pay to plow it
as soon as the crops are off?
Those contemplating the erection of
beet sugar factories will do well to re
member that for expert assistance and
management a small factory will cost
quite as much as a large one.
The secret of winter eggs is: Hatch
the pullets early and keep them grow
ing; have warm quarters; do not crowd
too many in a small place; keep them
exercising, and feed properly.
If any of our readers neglected to
repair and oil the harness last spring
when it should have been done, they
should make a note of the fact and at
tend to it at the first opportunity.
Again we say radical changes in the
food of animals should be made grad
ually as possible. This is especially
true of cows, for sudden changes effect
the quality as well as the quantity of
the milk.
Corn and alfalfa go splendidly to
gether, especially for feeding fatten
ing animals. Corn being deficient in
protein, and alfalfa rich in the same
ingredient, serves to more nearly bal
ance the ration.
Hauling corn fodder up from the
field every few days as wanted during
the winter is, in most cases, a very
slavish and unnecessary operation.-
No time should be lost now in getting
it into mow or stack.
On many farms we see the stock still
tramping over the meadows as it lias,
done ever since haying. Wo never
thought it paid to thus secure a little
fall picking at the possible expense of
the hay crop the next year.
Here is the way a prominent stock
man puts it: Wo are going to have the
best times we have seen in fifteen
years, and the stock-raising interest
will, with proper management, have
its full share in the general prosperity.
One objection urged against winter
dairying is that it is so much trouble
to raise the calves when they cannot
be turned out on pasture This dif
ficulty is not a serious one if you have
a good, warm barn, clover hay and
eusilage.
Those of our readers who took our
advise and saw that the pigs and shoats
received through the summer a fair
proportion of bone and muscle form
ing foods, have now a staunch frame
upon which to lay the fat produced by
a corn diet.
Professor Flumb hit the nail fairly
on the head when he wrote that the
j farmers of Indiana ought not to allow
a pound of skim milk to go to waste
from the creameries or farm dairies.
It can be fed to great profit to grow
ing pigs, for it will assist in rapid flesh
development. What is true of skim
milk in Indiana is equally true of it
elsewhere.
The use of butter which contains
neither salt nor coloring matter is said
to be increasing in New York to such
an extent that it may now be obtained
at some of the best hotels and restau
rants, while other houses are using
butter containing about half the usual
salt. Of course, customers can sea
son the fresh butter to suit their own
individual tastes. Hebrews are the
largest consumers of unsalted butter.
A bunch of hungry hogs will do a
good job turning and fining coarse,
straw manure if some grain is sown
upon it. Occasionally, their rooting
propensities may be utilized in other
ways. A Maine farmer is said to re
move Blumpsby fencing them in, milk
ing holes under them with crowbar,
placing grain in holes and turning
hogs into the enclosure. In rooting
among the roots, the hogs are said to
root the stumps out by the roots.
Snake ami Lizard Match.
While in the country last Sunday
the editor of The Gazette saw a black
snake try to capture a lizard for its
dinner. The lizard had the best of
the snake in the contest, which took
place in a cluster of saplings. The
lizard would run up a sapling clear to
the top and patiently wait until the
snake would slowly wind its way about
half up the sapling, when the lizard
would jump from the top of the tree to
the ground, aud the snake would fling
itself from the tree, both striking the
ground about the same time, but be
fore the snake could get itself straight
ened out the lizard, which did not
have to uncoil, would scale up another
sapling, when the snake won Id-repeat
its effort to procure a dinner. The
snake, not being the ready climber the
lizard was, was at a great disadvantage
iu the contest, and after many efforts
apparently gave it up as a fruitless
.job.—Greenup (Ky.) Gazette.
JAPANESE SELF-JICRDEB
HARA-KARJ, OR "HAPPY DISPATCH,"
IS STILL IN VOGUE.
It Originated Among the Military Class in
Japan—A Privilege ot tho Upper Class—
Often Made a Function, With Flabor
ate Ceremonies—A Famous lostuice,
Hara-kiri, or "happy dispatch," as
it has been freely translated, is stili
the mode of suicide among the Japan
ese. This was shown by Gounseloi
Katayama's attempt to kill himself in
Yokohama the other day.
Katayama is a bright young grad
uate from the class in diplomacy in tli€
Foreign Office in Tokio, who had beer
sent to assist the Japanese Minister,
Shimamura, in the recent complies
lions with the Hawaiian Government.
He was recalled, and, believing thatil
was owing to his failure to accomplish
all his government had instructed him
to do, he cut himself open and slil
his throat.
Hara-kiri means, literally, stomach
cutting. The expression, though
widely known outside of Japan, is
not much used umong tho Japanese
themselves. They use the word sep
puku, which is derived from the Chin
ese, as are so many of their polite
terms, much as French words are used
by those who affect elegance in this
country.
According to Basil Hall Chamber
lain, an Englishman, Professor oi
Japanese in the Imperial University
in Tokio, seppukn is not a custom oi
tho aboriginal Japanese, but came into
vogue some time before 1500 among
the samurai, or members of the mili
tary class, the feudal nobility and the
gentry. It was a bravo death and
ghastly in its conception, as any one
familiar with the Japanese theatre car,
testify. Its carrying out demonstrated
beyond doubt that the doer was at
least possessed of physical courage,
aud by the act he who performed il
wiped out whatever stain may have
sullied his personal honor. He died
like a gentleman.
Seppuku was a privilege of the up
per class. The death sentence with
those above the merchant, farmer and
artisan was not carried out by the
public executioner. They killed them
selves in the preseuce of officials sen!
to witness the deed. It was performed
like all other acts in old Japan, even
to tea drinking, with elaborate cere
mony and detail. Mitford, in liis
"Tales of Old Japan," describes it
vividly. He was detailed as a repre
sentative of the English Government
to witness the Sentence carried out on
a rebel who had fired on the allied
lleet at Shimeuoseiki over u quarter ol
a century ago.
In liia "Story of the Forty-seven
Ronin" in tho same volume lie gives
an account of the most famous instance
of seppuku on record. The'ronin were
detached samurai, or military retain
ers, without a master. Asauo, Lord
of Ako, who had been master of the
Fortv-seveu Ronin, was sentenced to
commit seppuku for laying his hand
upon his sword in one of the palaces
of the Shogun, or Tycoon, tho general
issimo J and actual ruler of tho country
during the centuries which tho Mikado
was in retirement.
The ronin, with full knowledge that
they would bo sentenced to seppuku
likewise, broke into tho yasliiki, 01
palace, ot Kira, the noble who had
evoked the breach of etiquette 011 the
part of their lord, aud forced liim to
commit seppuku. They offered up his
head at a neighboring temple and then
awaited calmly the sentence, which
came in due courso aud was carried
out.
Often seppuku was performed in
temples. The priests prepared a ban
quet. The relatives of the condemned
man, his friends and tho Government
officials assembled and feasted. The
condemned man, robed in white, the
color of mourning in Japan, ate and
exchanged wine cups with all present.
Then seating himself in tho centre ol
the room arranged for the ceremony,
ho threw his robes from his shoulders
and was naked to tho waist. An at
tendant placed a low stand before him,
011 which was a cup of tea and the ku
sun-go-bu, the shorter of the two
swords worn by a samurai.
Tucking the liowing sleeves of his
robe under his knees, he wrapped n
sheet of paper about the blade so as to
leave about an inch of the poiut ex
posed, and drew tho blh.de across liis
abdomen from left to light, with a lit
tle turn upward at the end of the
stroke. Then leaning forward he
readied for the cup, aud his chosen
friend, standing at his post beside
him with a drawn sword, severed his
head from his body so that it liung by
a bit of the skin at the throat as by a
hinge. The witnesses stamped their
report with their seals and departed.
In those days death was tho fate of
whoever liail the business to memor
ialize the Government, but this did
not deter the patriotic. The petitioner,
with his prayer written in the form oi
a letter and concealed about his per
son, knelt before the gate of some pub
lie building, and, having disembowe led
himself, would thrust the knife through
liis neck from ear to ear, and push it
forward till it fell iuto his lap and he
expired. The paper would bo found
and its contents read by the official to
whom it was directed.
Young Katayama's easo is not ex
traordinary. Native students, fearful
of failure in examination, have done
what he attempted.—New York Jour

| UTTLE OLD-TIME AGUE NOW.
The Chills ami Fever oi' Other Days Al
most. UnlirarU Of.
The Kansas City (Mo.) Sl.;;* reminds
its readers of the "good old days"
when there was no joke in the ague,
when to live was to shake, for nobody
was exempt by reason of age, sex,
position in society or color. Those
werogthe days when there were three
synonyms for ague, besides plain
1 chills and fever. They were Indiana,
! Illinois and Missouri, and the greatest
of these was Missouri. There were
; two divisions of severity in those days:
| Those who "shook" on Monday,
Wednesday, Friday and Sunday made
up one division, and those who shook
on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday,
I and remitted with the other the next
: Monday were the other. In those
■ days the invitations to social functions
! read:
"Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Laria present
their compliments to Mr. C. A. Fever
and beg to inform him that they will
not be shaking on Tuesday, and would
be pleased to have his presence at their
| dark green tea."
This would be the answer:
i "Mr. C. A. Fever acknowledges the
i kind invitation of Mr. and Mrs. M. A.
I Laria, but begs to inform them that
i Tuesday is his day to shake."
j Many an otherwise happy social
j function was shattered, too, by the
inability of the Mr. and Mrs. of the
j household to get their ague for the
j season started oft' on the same day.
I Of course, under this circumstance the
i whole family would be compelled to
| miss the entire social season or disturb
j with their rattling or chattering every
gathering they attended.
| To-day the dismissing sign reads:
| "This is my busy day." In early
i Missouri times "This is my day to
shake" was the correct form.
But all this is changed now. No
longer is the congregation at church
changed every Sunday, and no longer
ire two preachers, guaranteed not to
shake 011 the same day, necessary. It
was almost a part of the contract in
those days. For the old-time chills
! are 110 more, and the ague has almost
disappeared. There are a few places
in the South where it is still the cus
tom, but it very seldom crosses Mason
and Dixon's line now. In some of
j the parts of Arkansas where typewrit
ers and bicycle bloomers have not
penetrated, there is yet some ague, but
it seldom gets North of those secluded
I spots. At present Dr. G. O. Coftlu,
I city physician, is treating two cases of
1 real, old-fashioned fever and ague, but
the}* are the first he has seen in Kan
sas City in ten years, he says.
Dr. D. I\. Porter, who came here
from Ohio thirty years ago, and has
j neon hero ever since, says he has not
leen a case of old-time chills and fever
In five years. Dr. Colfin says it is be
muse of the improved sanitary condi
tions. Dr. Porter says it is because
people drink better water.
In the early days, Dr. Porter said
to a reporter for the Star, three-fourths
af his income came from ague pa
tients. Doctors grew rich treating
malarial poison. The favorite and
principal prescription then was, "Bx
1 quinine, twenty grains," in as many
variations as the doctor's education
and medical dictionary could conjure
him, distinguished and high sounding
terms to substitute for the word qui
nine. And when both ran short, or
I the patients found it out and went to
1 prescribing for themselves, it was an
easy matter for the doctor and the
druggist to get together behind the
prescription case and agree upon
something new and cryptogramatic.
A Convict Buys Ulumontls.
i Isaac Bushmore, who has just been
released from the Auburn State Prison,
\vliero lie had served a term for grand
j larceny, celebrated his return to the
I world in a truly worldly way. He
hud a carriage waiting for him at tho
| prison gate and was driven at once to
a tailor, where he litted himself out
I with expensive clothing, and thence to
a jeweler's where he paid .SIOO for dia-
I monds and a watch.
Then 110 proceeded to the leading
j hotel of the city, registered and spent
the night in drinking and carousing.
Soon after sallying out the next morn
ing he fell in the street, besmearing
his fine black suit, light-colored top
j coat, silk hat, patent leathers and
gloves with Auburn mud. He was
I taken to jail, where he was fined $5,
which he paid, and started on the next
train for New York.

j began to spend it lavishly he was re

j State prison. It is the remainder of
j his legacy that he has now started in

world is built on a rocking stone on the
summit of a mountain in Northern In
dia. It is impossible to imagine a more
wonderful situation It in that of thl9
temple. The rocking stone is situated
on a mountain over twenty thousand
feet high. It weighs many thousands j
of tons, but is balanced on so fine a
point that a comparatively light pres
sure is sufficient to make it sway.
Whether or not the great rock was
raised to its present position by human
hands is a mystery to scientific minds.
If It was. the labor was one to which
no modern engineering feat can be
compared. The Hindu priests teach
their followers that the rook was
placed in position by the help of the
gods. In this way they add considera
bly to the feeling of awe which they 1
desire to create. The worshippers at
this shrine must first make the ascent !
of the mountain, a matter of great dif- 1
ficulty. Then they spend seven days of
preparation iu a temple built on the
solid mountain before they are permit
ted to make the final passage to the
mysterious rocking stone. To reach
the stone it is necessary to cross a
bridge over a great chasm. Nature and
man had combined to make this Hindu
shrine awe-inspiring to the devout. Af
ter crossing the bridge the pilgrim
mounts a ladder, to which he clings iu
terror for his life here and in the here
after. The temple on the rock is nec- j
©ssarily a small place. Three priests
officiate In it. The mysteries which
take place there no man is permitted to
reveal. Europeans have seen it from a
distance.

Some curious figures have lately
been mode public by a celebrated Ber
lin physician, which seem to point to
the fact that If a man wants to live
long and preserve his health an(
strength lie ought to marry. Araon(
unmarried men between the ages of 3(
and 45 the death rate Is twenty-seven
per cent. Among married men be
tween the same ages it is only eighteen
J per cent. For forty one bachelors who
1 live to he 40 years of age seventy-eight
married men triumphantly arrive at
the same period. The difference gets
nil the more marked as time goe; on.
i At GO years of age there are only twen
j ty-two bachelors to forty-eight married
i men; at 70. there are eleven bachelors
to twenty-seven who are married; and
by the time they reach 00 the married
I men arc three to one, for there are nine
J of them to every three bachelors.

New Tunnel Completed.
The Improvement on the Pittsburg
i Division of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, 22 miles west of Cumberland
at Falls Cut, will be completed by De-
I cember Ist and trains will be run
ning over it within ten days thereaf
, ter. Falls Cut is a cutting through a
! spur of the- mountain and is about 60
, feet in depth and has continually giv
! en trouble by rock sliding down on the
j track. It has had to bo braced with
heavy timber every few feet for Its en
time length, some 800 feet, and requir
ing constant care and watchfulness,
was, therefore, very expensive to keep
up.
In order to eliminate this cut it was
necessary to build one mile of new
roadway which involved the construc
tion of a double track tunnel 530 feet
in length and three bridges.
By this change the road was
straightened considerably taking out
some sharp curvature and introducing
curves of a longer radii. The improve
ment is on what is known as the east
ern slope of the Alleghenies and the
grade is about N4 feet to the mile. The
tunnel and bridges were constructed
1 with the view of double tracking the
entire Pittsburg Division sometime in
the future.
