How Bathing Injnres the Ear.


Among the causes of injury 10 the
. ear unfortunately must be reckoned
bathing. Not that this healthful and
important pleasure need, therefore, be
in the least discouraged; but it should
be wisely regulated. Staying too long
ia the water certainly tends to produce
deafness as well as other evils; and it is
practice against which young persons
of both sexes should be y carefully on
their guard. But, independently of
this, swimming and floating are atten-
ded with a certain danger from a diff
ficuIty of preventing the entrance of
watea into the ear i'm these positions.
Now, no cold fluid should ever enter
he ear; cold water is always more or
ess irritating; and, if used for syring-
ing, rapidly produces extreme gidd;-
ness. In the case of warm water its
entrance into the ear is less objection
able, but even this is not free from dis
advantage. Often the water lodges in
the ear and produces an uncomfortable
sensation till it is removed; this should
always be taken as sign of danger.
That the risk to hearing from unwise
bathing is not fancy is proved by the
fact, well known to the lovers of dogs,
that those animals, if in the habit of
jumping or being thrown into The
water, so that their heads are covered,
frequently become deaf. A knowledge
of the danger is a sufficient guard. Tol
be safe it is only necessary to keep the
the water from entering the ear. It'll
this cannot be accomplished otherwise,
the head may be covered. 1t should
added, however, that wet hair, whether
from bathing or washing, may be a
cause Of deafness, it be suffered TO
dry by itself. Whenever wetted, the
hair should be wiped till it is fairly dry.
Nor ought the practice of moisteningI
the hair with water to make it curl
pass without remonstrance. To leave
the hair about the ears is to run great
risk Of injuring them. In the washing
of children, too, care should be taken
that all the little folds of the outer ear
carefully and fiently dried with a soft

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Last Saturday afternoon man of
rather dissipated look entered pawn
brokers' shop ON Kearny street. There
were two or three other customers in
the establishment, negotiating for small
loans on good collateral, and The new
arrival modestly remained in the back
ground awaiting his turn. In few
moments the other borrowers left the
shop. Then the aquiline beak of "my
uncle" was pointed at the dissipated
party, and sharp "Vell vot is it g"
brought him to the counter. The man
cast hasty, half frightened look over
his shoulder toward TIE door, and then,
thrusting the fingers and thumb of his
right hand into his mouth, he removed
a set of false teeth from his lower jaw
and laid them on the counter before
the placid pawnbroker, remarking in
tones considerably marred by the loss
of his grinders
Waffl you femme have on gleese--

The placid pawnbroker seemed to
know instinctively what the purport of
this rather misty query was, for after
turning the worries over in his hand for
minute, he tersely replied

The pawnbroker sharply interrupted
the toothless mans eloquerce by tell
ing him if he didn't want the "dahler

teeth in his jaw and clear out. Seeing
that the effort to obtain larger sum
was hopeless, the needy man signified
his acceptance of the terms, pocketed
the change, and left the shop, vainIy

TrCubIe with Submarine Cables.
FROM the New York Herald.

Facts which are now constantly COM
ing into notice regarding our sub-ma-
rine cables, &c far to explode the
prevailing notion that these vital nerves
of civilization are not in danger from
sub marine life. In the Malta Alexan-
dria cable a piece of the core, from
which the iron sheathing had been worn
away, was found to have been pierced
by shark, pieces of his teeth inhering
in the gutta- percha. The Cuba .Flori-
da and the China cables have been
similarly damaged. In the recent
operations for the repair of the Allan.
tic cable of 1866, pieces of the old
strand of 1858 were raised, and where
the sheathing had given way the core
was indented by worms, resembling
old worm eaten timber or books.
These interesting facts argue the ne
cessity of multiplying submarine ca
bles between the great international
marts and centers of trade and inter-
course to meet grave emergencies, when
a single cable might be silenced. They
also suggest the need of greater care In
selecting and surveying the deep-sea
bed, so as 10 find level and smooth
surface for the safe repose OF the
