All About the Parotid Glands.

Now everybody will be wanting to
know all about the parotid glands, the
right one of which is reported as in a
state of inflammation. These glands de-
rive their name from two Greek words,
which express the idea of nearness to the
ear. They lie one on each cheek below
the ear, and, of course, forward of it.
The function of these glands is the secre-
ton of saliva, and they are the largest of
all the salivary glands. Each is fur
nished with tube or duct II little over
two inches long, which opens on the
inner part of the cheek, opposite the
upper jaw. Each gland weighs about
one ounce. The other salivary apparatus
is composed of the submaxillary gland
and the sub-lingual glands which lie, as
their names indicate, the former under
the lower jaw and the latter under the
tongue. In protracted low fevers the
parotid gland is frequently the seat of
levers, and sometimes even of abscesses.
Inflammation of this gland, although an
noying and painful, is not necessarily a
serious symptom.

4 CURIOUS EDTroR.-It is not often
that you hear of an editor with cuIios-
ity- Most of them accept earthquakes.
tornadoes, murders, fires and floods as
everyday occurrences, and even q nitro
glycerine explosion next door would not
interrupt the routine work of the sane
tum long. But French editor, and
the editor of Lyons paper at that, had
a curiosity to know how a person feels
when drowning. So he put up a job on
himself. He arranged to come within
hairs breadth of drowning, but was to
be pulled out in the nick of time, rolled
on barrel, hauled over the sands,
thumped on the stomach, and otherwise
resuscitated. All went well during the
first act. He jumped into the water, re-
fused to struggle, and gradually sank
from sight. At the proper moment he
was hauled up by rope and act second
commenced. This was an occasion where
an editor was too smart. They rolled
him according to programme, and seven
or eight men tired themselves ont with
rubbing him and hanging him up head
downwards, but he was dead man. He
may know how it feels to drown, but he
will never trouble the public with a de-
scription of his feelings.
