one of BrOwning's most beautiful and
pathetic poems, and one ineligible TO
whomsOever runs, commentaries the act
of an old Earl of Arundel who, having
struck his little child on the head had the
picture of himself and child painted, the
child, as he became in after years, imbecile
from the effects of that blow. 1t would
be well, we think, for every parent, and
fer those having children on their hands,
to commit these verses to memory, and to
put the lesson in practice; for the injury
none 10 children by the quick and careless
box on the ear that is thought nothing of
at the time is something incalculable, 1t
is impossible to hit a tender child blow
upon so delicate an organ as the ear, and
one having such close connection with the
brain, without doing an evil and unseen
work, even when the blow is given with
the fiat and open hand. The action, it has
been fully ascertained, has produced violent
intlammatiOns in the ear, and running dis
charges for years. blood has been known
to follow it Immediately; and when this
has not happened, partial and even total
deafness has been the consequence in many
instances lntercranial difficulties of
dangerous type are not at all rare either, as
the result of these admOntiOns; idiOcy
has been traced to them; and in more than
one case of those surgicaly examined it
has been found that fatal brain disease has
followed a box on the ear.-HdTper'S BG-

MISCELLANY.



Hast thou the willing hand and free,
Framed for large deeds and charity
on. without iearl
No lock shall so uncivil he
But that same hand may turn the key,
And where thou enterest, shalt thou find
Sisters and lovers of thy kind
To bless the passing year.
Not the quick heart the fruitful mind,
Shall laCl; sweet comfort and their kind
To bless the hurryinE year
Is thine the niggard hand and poor
The hearth unshared, the unblest door,
on, without fear!
Pray heaven once, with forcc divine,
To sulte that unschooled heart Of thine
Through pain or want or sore distress
To teach sweet pity and redress,
That warm the wintry year
There is no soul in such durrss
But grief may come to search aud bless,
And love 10 crown the year

Idaho.

This is what the Salt Laka Tribune in
its splendid New Years number has to
say of our great commonwealth.
Idaho is on the steady up grade to
prosperity. There has been little
falling down in the Wood River coun-
try there has been great advance in
the Occur d. Aleane country and in the
Silver City and DeLamar regions. Prob
ably, too, there has been as much or
more progress in reclaiming the soil as
there has been in developing the mines
and building machinery. A great sale
is reported within the past week in the
Occur d'AleEe country; within the year
Mr.. DeLamar sold fraction of his
property for an immense sum, and the
weekly yield in the mine shows the good
fortune and judgment of the purchaser.
In no Territory or State of the West are
the mining and agricultural resources
more happily adjusted than in Idaho.
Its possibilities as an agricultural State
can hardly be estimated. When a bril-
die shall be put upon Snake river, that
will make it possible to utilize all the
rich lands of that great Snake river val
ley, the result will be something inn
mense. Then the great wheat belt of
Washington Territory, where more
wheat grows to the acre than was ever
heard of anywhere else, extends into
Northern Idaho, SO that right under the
Occur d'Alene mines the grain fields
wave and make a spectacle like the bill
lows of golden sea. AS fruit region,
Idaho is coming rapidly to the front, for
no finer fruit grows anywhere than
there, and grows nowhere more pro-
fuse. In her timber resources, Idaho
has a source of unlimited wealth /; for
timber of the most beautiful quality COW
ers millions of acres of land. With such
resources, with such opportunities for
capital, or more especially with such OPP
portunities for strong arms and brave
people like those who people the val
levs end mountains of Idaho, nothing
can succeed except continual prosperity.
With the rest, statistics prove that Idaho
is the healthiest State in the Union. Its
death rate is lower than that of any
other State or Territory. And it abounds
in magnificent springs; there is no
scenery finer, there is no spot that
beckons to the brave and strong to come
to it, with more inviting hand than
does Idaho.

The Intelligent Manner in Wnich Snipe
Treat Their wounds.
Some interesting observations relat-
ing TO the surgical trea Lment of wounds
/ BY birds We're recently brought by NJ
Patio before the Physical society of
Geneva. He quotes the case of the
served engaged in repairing damages
With its beak and feathers it makes a
very creditable dressing, applying
plaster to bleeding wounds, and even
securing a broken limb by means of
stout ligature. On one occasion he
killed snipe which had on the breast
a large dressing composed of down
taken from other parts of the body and
securely fitted to the wound by the
coagulated blood
Twice he had brought home snipe
with interviewer feathers strapped on
to the site of the fracture of one or
other limb. The most interesting ex-
ample was that of a snipe both of
whose legs he had unfortunately
broken by misdirected shot. He re-
covered the animal only on the day fol-
lowing, and he found that the poor
bro had contrlved to apply dressing
and sort of splint to both limbs. In
carrying out this operation some
feathers had become entangled around
the beak, and not being able to use its
claws TO get rid of chem it was almost
dead from hunger when discovered. In
a case recorded by NJ. Magnin, snipe
which was observed to fly away with
broken leg was subsequently found to
have forced the fragments into a paral-
lei position, the upper fragment reach
ing to the knee, and secured them by
means of strong band of feathers and
moss intermingled The observers
were particularly struck by the appli-
cation of a ligature of kind of fiat
leafed grass wound round the limb, of
spiral form and fixed by means of a
sort of glue. Medical Record.

Timber Lands.

The laws of the land permit the use
OF tim ber in certain States and Territor-
lei for mining and domestic purposes,
but the authorities at Washington never
tire of imposing onerous conditions on
the people for the enjoy ment of a legal
right. AS for instance Commissioner
Carter of the General Land Office has
issued form of permit to be granted
persons applying to cut timber from
public lands. Among the stipulations is
one forbidding the cutting of more than
80 per cent of timber of that class grow
ing on an acre. A monthly statement
under oath is required, giving descrip-
tiops of the tracts from which the tim
Der is taken. No trees shall be cut or
removed of less than a specified numh her
of inches in diameter, except for need
ed roadway through the timber. The
person cutting the timber is required
10 cut remove, burn or otherwise dispose
of the tops and brush of the trees, etc,
to prevent forest fires, and will be held
liable in damages for the spread of Tres
attributable to his neglect. Scientific

A Valuable Voice.

There are heights to be reached in
every profession, and it is not to be
wondered at if those of his own profess
sion are considered superior to those
of any other by the enthusiastic artist.
Martin, the popular French singer,
found food for reelection in an expert
ence which he had with cab driver.
The incident is related by the author
of Souvenirs d un Chanteun:" Martin
had voice of great compass and most
agreeable sound, of which he was de-
cidedly proud. He had a weakness for
drawing out compliments upon it. One
day as he was being driven through
the streets of Paris in cab he saw
some one passing carelessly in front of
the cab and in danger of being run
over ''Whoal" he cried, in his most
.sonorous tones The coachman turned
around excitedly. "Ol monsieur" he
cried, what a beautiful 'whoar Ali
if l only had voice like thatr' swell,
what would you do if you had?" asked
Martin, with a smile, believing that he
had been recognized, and pleased at
the idea that his reputation extended
even to the drivers in the streets.
