Relations of the Ears.

DR.. Urbantschitsch of Vienna remarks
that although the relations between the
two eyes, especially the SO called sympa-
thetic affections of the eye, have long been
known, those between the ears have hith-
erto attracted little attention. It seems,
from the studies of the author, that these
relations are of diverse nature; that they
may often be demonstrated, and that they
are sometimes of much practical impor-
tance.
In biauricular addition it has been al
ready observed that an ear in which the
hearing is notably diminished may exer-
else stimulant influence upon the other
organ. The treatment of one ear aug
ments the therapeutic effect obtained in
the other. even when the treatment has
no beneficial effect upon the hearing OF
the first. One fact especially possesses
great interest-viz, by an operative pro-
cedure upon the transmitting apparatus Of
one ear we may not only arrest the dimi-
mutton Of hearing upon the other side, but
obtain decided amelioration and some
times a return to the normal condition.
These reciprocal relations between the
two ears, and especially the synergistic ef-
fects of accommodation, deserve attention
and permit the hope that we may some
times intervene with success-at least in
one of the ears-in certain cases Of pro-
gressive deafness. de Laryngolo-

A New Word and Its Derivation

The next revised edition of Murray will
contain the word ''larrikin.'' Its signifi-
canoe is peculiar and its derivation anus
ing. A ''larrikin" is an Australian tough
boy or gamin. He is Of the peculiar strain
Of depravity sure to be found in land
like Australia, the logical offspring Of the
convict outoasts and the women who fol-
low in their train. He is said to have Pc
culiarities not to be found in any other
tough boy and physical characteristics
which would identify him wherever found
by a student of the human race. For ex-
ample, the shape of his head is unmistaka-
BILE. He is plentiful in Australia. He is
depraved, lacking alike in mental and
moral health. He was until lately with
out any individual cognomen, but not
long ago one Of the class was in court in
Melbourne, and the Irish officer who had
him in charge, being asked by the judge
what his offense was, replied, HE was q
larrking, yer 'onor," with such rolling
Of the ''r" that the judge misunderstood
for moment and thought the word was
Q term applied to the boy. Ever since in
Melbourne the street gamin has been spo-
ken Of as ''larrikin," and the word has
passed into the vernacular of Australia.

InRrowinx Hairs.

Attention Is called to a condition Of in
growing hairs, which presents itself In the
form of blush white pimples, varying In
size from pins head to small pea, situ-
ate usually about the chin where the
beard grows the thickest. Careful inspec-
ton Of the unshaved chin and cheeks will
show here and there the presence Of
giant hairs" These are dark in color
and as thick as hogs bristles. The slight
est traction with forceps suff1ces to pain
lessly remove them. The thickening Is
due to the deposit of a dark, soft material,
which envelops the hair throughout it's
extent. This layer can be scraped off and
is soluble in liquor potassae.
The hair itself is also thickened, and
its structure is blurred and indistinct. 1t
is probable that the little blush white
pimples form by the growing within the
hair follicle of what remains Of broken,
thickened and brittle hair. The condition
occurs most commonly on the bearded
face, but it is sometimes observed in other
situations, as the axilal, the pubes, the
periphery Of the hairy scalp. Under the
latter circumstances the condition is de-
pendent rather on blockage of the oriflce
Of the hair follicle than upon the disease
Of the hair itself.
When the little nodules have formed,
the everything surface should be sterilized
and an incision made with a sharp tenoto-
my knife. A portion of hair will present
and can easily be extracted. Medical

LabOuchere's Remedy.

Labouchere was at dinner one evening
in his Twickenham villa when an unin-
vited guest arrived-a Mexican, who had
q government concession in which he was
very anxious to interest Labouchere. The
stranger talked volubly until his host, who
had listened with evident reluctance, ask
ed: 'How do you expect to get back to
London tonight Ny house, as you see,
is full, and cannot offer you bed. Have
you a carriage:''
''No," said the Mexican. II came by
train and intend to return that way"
But" returned Labouchere, the last
train left five minutes ago. There is one
chance for you" he went on. II will row
you down the river to the next station,
where you can catch the express. We can
talk business on the way
Excusing himself to his guests, Labou-
chere went off with the Mexican. Within
an hour he was back.
'tThat Mexican y he said in the tone Of
one who has accomplished satisfactory
piece of work. lis landed on an island

The MESQUITE Tree.

There is no kind of wood or coal that
will make fire that will last as long or
leave such a small proportion of ashes as
mesquite tree wood. 1t has all the advan-
tage of coal, but does not clinker nor scat
ter any black dust. Instead of gas it
yields, while burning, a slight, spicy and
pleasant aroma, with the minimum guam
tity of smoke and SCOT. Besides the bark
is valuable for tanning, and the produc-
ton of tannic acid will some day be a
profitable industry. Wherever the grow
ing tree is bruised it gives out gum
which contains all the properties of gum
arabic, and it can be distinguished from
the genuine African production only by
it's darker color. The fruit is leguminous,
consisting of seeds the size of small coffee
beans inclosed eight or ten of them) in
pod that has a sweetish taste. It eager.
