Don't BOX the Chiidren's Ears.

Don't Box the Children's Ears.
Children's ears should never be
boxed. We have seen that the pas
sage of the ear is closed BY a thin
membrane especially adapted to be
influenced by every impulse Of the
air, and with nothing but the air to
support it internally. What, then,
can be more likely to injure this
membrane than a sudden and forei-
bic compression of the air in front
ofit2 If any one designed to break
or Overstreteh the membrane, he
could scarcely devise a more effee-
tive means than to bring the hand
suddenly and forcibly down upon
the passage of the ear, thus driving
the air violently before it, with no
possibility for its escape but by the
membrane giving way, especially if,
from any previous disease, it has
been weakened. Many children are
made deaf by boxes on the ear in
this way. Nor is this the only way;
if there is one thing which does the
nerve Of hearing more harm than al
most any other, it is a sudden jar or
shock. Children and grown persons
may be entirely deafened by falls or
heavy blows upon the head. And
boxing the ears produces q similar
effect, though more slowly and in
less degree. It tends to dull the
sensibility Of the nerve, even if it
does not hurt the membrane. I
knew a pitiful case, once, of 8 poor
youth who died from a terrible dis
ease of the ear. He had had a dis
ehare from it since he was child.
Of course his hearing had been dull;
and what had happened was that has
father had often b0red his ears for
inatteationi Mostly, that boxing on
the ear, diseased as it was, had
much to do with his dying. And
this brings me to the second point.
Children should never be blamed for
being InattentiYe, until it has been
found out whether they are not q
little deaf This is easily done by
placing them at a few yards distance,
and trying whether they can under
stand what is said to them in a rath-
er low tone of voice. Each ear
should be tried, while the other is
stopped by the finger. do not say
that children are never guilty of in
attention, especially as to that which
they do not particularly wish tOshear;
but / do say that children are often
blamed and punished for inatten-
ton when they really do not hear.
And there is nothing at once more
cruel and more hurtful to the char
acter of children than to be found
fault with for what is really their
Three things should
be remembered here: l. That slight
ofdeafness, often lasting on
ly for a time, are very common
children, especially during or
after colds. 2. That a slight deaf
ness, which does not prevent 3 per
son from hearing when he is expect
ing to be spoken to, viii make him
very dull to what he is not expect
ing; and 8. That there is a kind Of
deafness in which q person can hear
pretty well while listening, but is re-
ally very hard of hearing when not
listening.-DT. Hinton, in Popular
Science Monthly for June.

AFEARHD OF A GALL.

Oh, darn it alll-afeared of her,
And such a mite of gall
Why two of her size rolled into one
Won't ditto sister Sail.
Her voice is sweet as the whippOOrwill's
And the sunshine's in her hair;
But I'd rather face a redskins knife,
Or the grip of grizzly bear.
Yet Sail says, ''Why she's such dear,
ashes just the one for YOU"
Oh, darn it all!-afeared of gall,
And me just six feet two!
Though she amt any size, while Pm
Considerable tall,
I'm nowhere when she speaks to me,
She makes me feel so small.
My face grows red; my tongue gets hitched,
The cussed thing won't go;
1t riles me cause it makes her think
I'm most tarnation slow.
And though folks say she's sweet on me,
guess it can't be true,
Oh, darn it alll-afeared of gall,
And me just six feet two!
My sakesi just 'spose if what the folks
Is saying should be so!
Go, cousin Jane, and speak to her,
Find out and let me know;
Tell her the gals should court the men,
For isn't this leap year,
That's why I'm kinder bashful like,
Awaiting for her here.
And should she hear I'm scared of her,
You'll swear it can't be true.
Oh, darn it all!-afeared of gall,
And me just six feet two!
Sister Sail don't like this word. Saws it's onI,
for stockings and suchlike. But it can't bt
slped. The country folks are great at darning

About General Crook, the Humani-


We are rather sorry that George
Crook didn't capture the ModOcs.
During the war 1t was observed that
when General Crook was sent after
bushwhackers he never brought any
into camp to be bothered with-they
always met with some accident.
We remember an illustrative Occa-
sion. Crook, then Colonel of the
Thirty-sixth Ohio, reported to Rose
Grams at Cross Lanes, after the bat
tie of Carnifex Ferry. Roseerans
was delighted to see him, because he
had a good helper. The bushWhaek
ers were very troublesome. Crook
was ordered to squelch them. About
ten days afterGard Crook came into
headquarters looking Like a man
who had been sleeping out o nights.
Rosecrans and the rest ofus greeted
him warmly, and, after q glass Of
BOSWELL, Crook, what did you
doY'
Crook-"Cleaned out the BUSH
whackers."
Rosy-"Didn't you take any pris-
onersy"
Crook-(Drawing )-"Well, yes, 1
did have-seven, but the id fools
fell off a tree and broke their necks."

DIR. LIBBEY-
Dear Sir: 1 feel it a duty owe you as well
as the afflicted, TO acknowledge the wonderful
cure you have made in my case. The long
continued sore throat and bronchitis was
source of great annoyance and alarm to me
for number of years, but since you prescrib-
ed for me feel no trouble there, and have no
fear of a return of the complaint. The dispo-
sition was strong to scrofula consumption
that, think, entirely changed. Ny other
difficulties are entirely cured. Ifpeople only
would give your remedies fair trial, feel
confident you would benefit all you say you
can. Yours truly,

TnE VOLUME or THE CURRENCY. - The
Boston Journal thinks that Congress ought
to take measures to ascertain the relation of
the amount Of currency to the wants ofthe
business community. 1t says:
There appears to be such 4 difference
among financial authorities on that subject
as Is not very creditable to the mastery of
political economy which is at present ex-
iant in the financial community. 1t Is true
new elements have complicated the ques-
ton. The currency of the country is diff
fused as 1t never was before. Not only has
the security of the national banking system
spread the use of money from the centres to
the utmost limits of the Territories. but the
emancipation Of slaves has added four mil
lions 10 the business people of the Union.
And it may well be that these people
think 50 much OF their change from
chattels to money-holders that they
hold on to what they get with an
extra grip, 81 that they have detained
much larger share of the currency than
would be suspected from the amount of
business they do. Then come other cOnsid-
eratiOns, such as the building of railroads
IN advance of the wants of the country, the
increasing need of extra supplies for NOV
ing crops, etc. the increase of speculative
habits, and other changes in the modes of
doing business. To whatever degree, in
general, these things may have served to
limit the amount of currency available for
the usual needs of business, it is plain, how
ever, that the special scarcity at present is
due to mental rather than commercial
causes-that Is. the currency is boarded
from want of confidence. With seven hun
dred millions outstanding, it is stated that
only about one hundred and fifty millions
are at the command of the banks and bank
ers. Five hundred millions are somewhere,
