"GooD TIMES. My son enjoy yourself
Have good time; pleasure is eminently
right and proper, but a good time isn't Sc
cured by headache that lasts all the next
day. The simplest pleasures are the most
lasting. After you have spent two years in
Europe. you come back and sit down by
your own fireside aud think of picnic YOU
went to down at the Cascade one afternoon
in June that cost you just 65 cents. The
.'good times" that you darent take your wife
to, my son, that YOU would lie about rather
than have your sister know about them, the
goodness" of them never comes back to
refresh you and gladden. your heart, as does
the memory of the 65-cent picnic, when you
chartered nonsense with the girl you loved,
and laughed just as the leaves rustled, be-
cause YOU couldn't help it. The ''good time"
that wakes in the morning and wonders
where it was and who saw it, and where all
its money is gone; the good time that tails
itself of with a headache, there's precious
little fun in that And it only takes very
little business of that kind to poison and
cloud the memories Of your past" 1t doesn't
take many such "good times," my boy, to
mingle tears with your bread, and gall with
your drink. The sting is the smallest part
Of the bee, but when you pick him up BY it,
though the rest Of the bee were as large az
an omnibus horse, yet would the sting out
weigh all the good, sweet, harmless, honey
laden portion of the bee, and you would
think about it oftener and longer. Robert
J. Burdette.

AuEAL DISTURBANCES FROM BATHING.

AuRAL DISTURBANCES FROM BATHING
The frequency Of attacks of aural infiamma-
ton from bathing demands more than a
mere mention. for complete deafness NAV
result from the injuries TO the ear from this
cause, and partial impairment is frequent
These injuries from bathing are mainly
due TO the fact that man is not afforded the
protection TO the ear which amphibious
animals possess, and hence the water NAV
act injuriously in various ways. In surf
bathing the mere force of contact. when the
water flows into the ear, NAV injure the
tympanie membrane. and when an incoming
wave dashes against the face, water may
freely enter the mouth or nose, and thus be
driven into the ears through the Eustachian
tubes. The presence Of cold water for a
long time in the canal leading to the ear, as
when much diving is done, NAV set up in
fammaiion in the canal or in the tympanic
membrane. which may extend to the drum
cavity itself. Ill effects may be produced by
allowing the ears, head, and body to dry in
current Of air after coming out of the
water. Sea-water is probably more obnox-
ious than fresh, on account Of its compara-
tively low temperature, and the large quantity
of salt it holds in solution. A continuance
in the water should be avoided. The Russian
bath should not be taken without protecting
the ears when the cold plunge is used. Div
ing is. however, the most dangerous practice
connected with bathing, for it is difficult to
keep water from entering the ears, or nose
and mouth. In diving, the pressure OF
water on the tympanic membrane from with
out may cause vertigo. Even Swinging the
ears gently is known in some instances to
occasion decided dizziness.-DR. SAMUEL
SEXTON, in Harper's Magozine for March.

TIE HUMAN FIGURE.-The proportions
of the human figure are six times the length
of the feet. Whether the form is slender or
plump, the rule holds good; any deviation
from 1t is departure from the highest
beauty in proportion. The Greeks made all
their statues according to this rule. The
face, from the highest point Of the forehead,
where the hair begins, to the chin, is one
tenth Of the whole stature. The hand, from
the wrist to the middle finger, is the same.
From the top Of the chest to the hig hest
point of the forehead, is seventh. Ii the
face, from the roots of the hair to the chin,
be divided into three equal parts, the first
division determines the place where the eye
brows meet. and the second the place Of the
nostrils. The height, from the feet to the
top Of the head. is the distance from the ex-
tremity of the fingers when the arms are ex-
tended

i am reminded of story about DIR.
Bartol, of Boston, which | have liberty to
repeat. 1t seems that Mr.. Savage, the
Unitarian minister, had instructed his little
girl very sensibly with the idea that por-
ton Of God was pereeptible in everything
that was noble and beautiful. The child as
children do, had got this idea very ingen-
iously fitted into her own mind ready for
application at moments warning. One
day as the door-bell rang, she presented her
self in the hall just in season to receive one
of DIR. Bartol's benignant smiles, and to
fully observe that gracious, benignant figure.
Immediately she sped to her father with this
exclamation:
"Oh, papa. papa. The whole of God ha.
come now"
DR.. Bartol, as well he might, declared that
he had never been so hattered in all his life
