The Prater Under Sunshine

Edmund Yates gives some exposition pictures
OF vienna and the Prater, under the sunshine
OF Saturday, May 9Th, the first fair weather of
the season. He describes the Prater AS fol-

heels, with blue collars round their nesks. ro

and massive rings decorating their fat fore,
fingers; female bouryeoise, rather bulgy in the
waist, rather gummy about the ankles, rather
clumsy ABOUT the hands and rather coarse as
regards the hair, but bright-eyed intelligent and
go0d-tempered; specialized professors from the
colleges and hospitals, pretty nursemaids with
their charges; wasp-waisted officers and
private soldiers, principally remarkable for the
way in which their ears are set on their heads

IHE COUNTESS GUICCIoLI's LITERARY RE-
MAiNs.-The supplement Of the AHgemetae
Zeitung OF the 18th of April has an article upon
Swlnbnrne's Byron, and detailed quotations
from the preface of the new editor, in which
the hope is expressed that something at once
new and true" may one day be brought to light
concerning ByrOn's life. 90 However, this, like
much else besides, lies in the lap of the gods.
and especially in the lap of one goddess WHO
still treads the earth. Till she speaks we can
not guess what she may have to say. To this
phrase the editor adds: "Countess Guiccioli has
dled meanwhile without dIvulgng anything. -
Now tsays MIR. Karl Hillebrand, writing to us
from Florence,) have had the privilege of
looking through the whole of the extremely
valuable manuscript collection left by the
Countess, which is still in the possession of her
family. 1t contains, besides the MS of a work
on Byron's Stay IN Italy, by the Countess, which
Is full Of unpublished letters and contemporary
notices, . quantity Of Lord Byron's autograph
manuscripts, (fOr instance, of Aarino Fdlieri,
several cant0s of Don Juan, Daniels Prophecy,
&c.) and, what is good deal more important,
an extensive correspondence. dating from 1920
publication.

Don't Box the Children's Ears.

Children's ears ought never to be boxed. We
nave seen that the passage of the ear is closed
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 fOrcible compress
sion OF the air in front of it? Ii any one de-
signed 10 break or Oyerstretch the membrane,
he could scarcely devise a more effective 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
And far too often 1t does give 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 hear
ing more harm than almost any other, it is "A
sudden jar or shock. Children and grown per-
sons alike may be entirely deafened BY falls or
heavy blows upon the head; and boxing the ears
produces similar effect, though more slowly
and in less degree. 1t tends to dull the sensi-
bility OF the nerve, even il il does not hurt the
membrane. i knew a pitiful case once of a
poor youth who died from terrible disease OF
the ear. He had had a discharge from il since
he was child. OF course his hearing had
been duh; and what happened was that his
father had often boxed his ears for inattentiOn.
Most likely that boxing on the ear, diseased a
1t was, had much to do with his dying. And this
brings me to the second point: Children should
never be blamed for being inattentive until il
has been found out whether they are not a little
deaf. This is easily dne by placing them at a
lew yarus DISTANCE, ana trying whether they
can understand what is said to them in a rather
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 mat
tentiOn, especially to that which they do not
particularly wish to hear; but do say that very
many children are blamed and punished for
inattention when they really do not hear
And there Is nothing at once more cruel and
more hurtful to the character Of children than
to be found fault with for what is really their
misfortune. Three things should be remem-
bered here: /. That slight degrees Of deafness,
often lasting only for time, are very common
among children, especially during or after
colds. 2. That slight deafness, which does not
prevent person from hearing when he is ex-
pecting 70 be spoken to, will make him very dull
to what he is not expecting; and, 3. That there
Is q kind Of deafness in which person can hear
pretty well while listening, but is really very
hard OF hearing when not lstening.-Dr Hinton

A Japanese named Ichinoshn seven
years ago had quarrel In Yeddo with
fcllow-countryman, who killed him
and then fled. He lad two sons, who at
the time Of his death were respectively
seventeen and fourteen years of age. Ac-
cording to the ancient customs Of japan
the widow and two sons applied to their
daimio for permission to search for the
murderer of the father, and to revenge
his death II successful In their search.
The permission was granted, and the
youths started on their mission. For six
years they travelled over the country with
out finding any trace of the murderer but
atlength they learned that he had become q
priest, and was officiating In certain teni-
pie in Yeddo. Thither they repaired only
to learn that he har gone to Kioto. For q
year longer they followed the trail they
had struck. frequently hearing of the OBJ
ject OF their search under various assumed
names-sometimes as q priest and some
times as beggar. At last, by mere
chance, the young men, after seven years'
fruitless wanderings, few weeks ago
came to town named Bingo Fakuyoms,
where in the ranks of some soldiers who
were drilling in field they recognized
their long-sought enemy. Immediately
tuc OiucsI uIOtncr Wenb up 10 tne COLL
manding officer, and after telling the
story pointed out the man and requested
permission to kill him. The officer in
formed the young man that he was very
sorry that he could not oblige him, but
only few days before the Government
had issued notification forbidding any
one from performing kataki-achi--tha is,
taking upon himself the right to aveng
blo0dshed. 1t was sad blow to the
young man, we are told, especially as the
murderer deserted and made good his es-
cape while the matter was under discus
sion; but he was consoled by the promise
that the Government would take cog
nizance of the offence and mete out Justice
to the offender. Placards have been post
ed on the notice boards all over Japan Of
fering reward for the fugitive criminal,
and the authorities have taken other means
for securing his capture. This Is no ro-
nance, but recent occurrence. The Ed
East says that notices Offering q reward
for the apprehension of the murderer set
forth the whole story of the protracted
pursuit made by the youthful avengers,
and that they are read with great interest
by hundreds every day.
