The public to whose amusement ho
has so largely contributed will learn
with regret- that his extraordinary en
dowments were accompanied with
frailties which rendered them useless
to himself and his family The last
months of his short life were spent in
sickness and indigence and his widow
with five infant children and in the
hourly expectation of a sixth is now
left without any resource but what she
may Cope from the regard due to the
memory of her husband
The public are respectfully inform
ed that contributions for tl wife and
family of the late Robert Burns who
are left in circumstances of extreme
distress will be received at the houses
of Sir William Forbes Co of Messrs
Mansfield Ramsay Co and at the
shops of the Edinburgh booksellers It
is proposed to publish some time hence
a posthumous volume of the poetical
remains of Robert Burns for the bene
fit of the authors family His friends
and acquaintances are requested to
transmit such poems and letters as
may happen to be in their possession
to Alexander Cunningham writer

hoped that in the meantime none of his
original productions will be communi

GARE OF THE EAR
Never put anything in the ear for the
relief of toothache
Never wear cotton in the ears if they
are discharging
Never apply a poultice to the inside
of the canal of the ear
Never drop anything into the ear un
less it has been previously warmed
Never use anything but a syringe and
warm water for cleansing the ears
Never strike or box a childs ears
This has been known to rupture the
drumhead and cause incurable deaf
ness
Never wet the hair if you have any
tendency to deafness Wear an oiled
silk cap when bathing and refrain from
diving
Never scratch the ears with anything
but the linger if they itch Do not use
the head of a pin hairpins pencil tips
or anything of that nature
Never meddle with the ear if a for
eign body enters it Leave it absolute
ly alone and have a physician attend
to it

WONDERFUL MIRAGES
TIiomc Seen In the Winter Twllllt
In Northern AInka
The most wonderful mirages ever be
held by mortal eyes are those that are
seen in the twilight winter days Jn
northern Alaska These remarkable
ghastly pictures of things both imag
inary and -real are mirrored on the
surface of the wuste plains instead of
upon the clouds or in the atmosphere
Mimic lakes and water courses fringed
with vegetation are to be seen pictured
as real as life on tha surface of the
snow while grassy mounds stumps
trees logs etc which have an actual
existence some place on the earths sur
face are outlined against mountains of
snow in all kinds of fantastic shapes
Some of these objects are distorted
and magnified into the shapes of huge
ungainly animals and reptiles of euor
ninni tiuinl lria rrlwi frwrro itil liifca
iiuiiuiiiuiii aiii iv0o uiiu
are driven across these wastes by the
winds and as the objects referred to
loom up in the flying vapors they ap
pear like living creatures and seem to
be actuallj moving rapidly across tlie
plain
At other times they appear high in
the air but this is a characteristic of
the northern mirages that are seen
near the seashore When the vapors
and mists are driven out to sea the
Images mirrored in them appear to be
lunging through the waters at a terrific
rate of speed dashing the spray high
in the air while huge breakers roll
over them ami onward toward the
mountainous islands beyond and
against which they all appear to be
Caching Monstrous serpents appar
ently several hundred feet long some
times with riders on their backs men
on horseback thirty to fifty feet in
height animals and birds of all kinds
of horrible shapes and colors seem to
ba scurrying past racing and chasing
each other until they are lost in the
twilight fogs or dashed to pieces upon
the rocky islands mentioned above and
which are twenty miles out to sea
THE RED SQUIRREL
He Stores Very Little Food For Use
In Winter
In Maine in fact all over New Eng
landred squirrels do not put by great
hoards of any kind for winter use
When a Maine red squirrel has filled
itself with acorns and beechnuts it
will hide a few here and there under
leaves in hollow logs in cracks of
rifted trees and among stone heaps
An average red squirrel having the
run of an oak grove in the fall of the
year may in the course of two weeks
hide away from two to four quarts of
acorns though they will be in perhaps
twenty different places and in no in
stance which we have noted has anj
nut been shelled
The squirrel which plans a hoard of
nuts and makes deliberate preparations
for winter is the little chinmunk or
striped squirrel which seeks winter
quarters soon after heavy frosts and
which remains in hiding all winter
The chipmunks often hide as many as
two quarts of shelled beechnuts in one
place Their storehouses are as a rule
under the ground in sloping and sandy
soil the burrows having been dug with
true engineering skill so that no fresh
et can drown them out
It is believed that most observing
woodsmen will say that the red squir
rels of this vicinity seldom make large
caches of provisions for winter con
sumption and never shell the stored
nuts In fact the red species have no
need to pay much heed to such matters
as they are abroad and active in the
coldest days of winter as much as they
are in midsummer so precautions for
food are not demanded As the red
squirrels subsist for a good part of the
year upon the cones of pines and
spruces which hang to the limbs they
do not care how deep or hard the snow
may be feeling secure in finding all
the food they want among the tree

The greater part of the courage that

roic kind Courage may be displayed
in everyday life as well as in historic
fields of action There needs for ex
ample the common courage to be hon

the courage to speak the truth the
courage to bo what we really are and
not to pretend to be what we are not
the courage to live honestly within our

Indian Ocean Serpents
Among the most venomous serpents
in the world are the marine snakes of
the Indian ocean They are the dread
of fishermen and It sometimes hap
pens that vessels are obliged to thread
their cables through barrels to pre
vent the reptiles from swarming on
board Great numbers of them may
often be seen floating on the surface
of the water as if asleep They are
exceedingly fierce and will commonly
attack human beings without provoca
tion
When the Raven Wa Milk White
According to Mohammedan belief
the ravens which Noah took with him
on the ark were both pure white When
the ark had been riding the billows of
the flood for thirty three days one of
the giraffes died and the carcass was
thrown overboard No sooner had It
struck the water than the ravens
pounced upon It For this Noah cursed
them and since that day they have
been coal black
