Cannon Firing and the Ear.

Many of the injuries to which gunnors ami
others are exposed by loud explosions may
be obyiated by saturating piece Of cotton
well in a solution Of glycerin oil and bella
donna-say about one ounce Of glyeorin -
fifteen grains Of bella donna, and place it IN
the ear as far as possible This solution
forms coating IN itself on The membrane
and with the addition Of the cotton, protects
the drum Of the ear to the utmost extent
When the cotton is removed, the coating can
be really washed out bE Swinging the ear
with little warm water.
There is b.. ,.3ubt that numerous cases of
ruptur membrane with more or less deaf
ness, WI he foand among soldiery returning
from lMpaign Gunners- particularly
those oftha feet-awaro Of the great danger
to which tha organ Of hearing is exposed
plug the ear well with wool. This precau-
ton may somewhat diminish the amount Of
injury which would otherwise be endured:
nevertheless, the wool, as generally plnggc
in the ear, does not protect the manhrane
The effect of position with reference 70 IT,
gun is peculiar those men who stan
est the muzzle feel the report most, 1.ut IL
who are to leeward suffer more tam those
to windward Some protection is aIEot lc.,
to the ear by keeping the mouth open when
listening to heavy firing.

lRUE tIIVALRY 1t was during the SWe-
dish wars of the 17th century, that, after a
battle III which the enemy had been worsted
burgher of Flensborg was about to refresh
himself with draught of beer from a small
wooden bottle, when he heard the cry of
wounded Swede, who, fixing his longing
eyes on the beverage, exclaimed, 7 am
thirsty, give me to drink" Now, the bur
CHER of the Flensborg was a kind man, and
though he suffered greatly himself. he replied
at once, :" Thy need is greater than mine,
and kneeling down by the side of the woun-
ded soldier, he poured the liquor into his
mouth. But the treacherous Swede, taking
advantage Of the narmed state of his bene-
factor, fired his pistol as he bent down, wom-
ding him in the shoulder.
Then the burgher sprang upon his legs,
and Indignantly exclaimed, = Rascal, |
would have befriended you and you would
murder me in return; now will punish you
[ would have given you the whole bottle,
but you shall only have half, and, drinking
off one-half himself he gave the remainder
to his enemy When the news of this action
came to the ear of King Frederick III, he
ordered the burgher into his presence, and
asked him, Z" Why he did not kill the ras-
CALI"
. Sire" replied the man, q T could never
slay wounded enemy"
g Thou meritcst to be a noble" said the
king, and he caused him to be made one at
once, and gave him for his arms a wooden
beer-bottle pierced through with an arrow !;
which cognizance was horne by his children
after him, till the family died out

ROLLCALL.

i Corporal Green p the Orderly cried
Here 7! was the answer loud and clear.
i From the lips Of soldier who stood near;
land "Here!' was the word the next replied.
Cyrus Drew !''-then a silence fell
This time no answer followed the call
0nly his rear-man had seen him fall
8kill'd or wounded he could not tell
There they stood in the falling light.
These men Of battle, with grave, dark looks,
As plain to be read as open books,
9NhiIe slowly gathered the shade Of night
The fern on the hIl-sides was sp'ashed with blood
And down in the corn, where the peoples grew,
Were redder stains than the peoples ,.uew;
and crimSon-dyed was the river food.
i or the foe had crossed from the other side,
That day, in the face Of u murderous fire
That swept them down in its terrible ire;
And their life blood went 10 color the tide.
Herbert Cline "-At the call there came
Two stalwart soldiers into the line,
Bearing between them this Herbert Cline,

Ezra kerrl'-and voice answered "Hercr'
Hiram Kerr but no man replied:
They were brothers, these two; the sad wind
sighed,
and shudder crept through the corn-feld near
Ephraim Deane p'--then a soldier spoke:
"Deane carried our regiment colors, " he said i,
when our ensign was shot; ! left him dead
y lust after the enemy wavered and broke.
/ Close to the roadside his body lies;
paused q moment and gave him to drink
tie murmured his mothers name, think;
And Death came with it and closed his eyes"
Twas yictory--yes but it cost us dear;
For that company roll, when called at night,
VI hundred men who went into the fight,
numbered but twenty that answered "Herer'
