Care OF the Ear in Childhood.


Defective hearing is a trouble that
many children labor under, caused
occasionally by disease, but oftentimes
by lack of proper care of the ear pas
sages. 1t is sometimes the case that
the dullness and inattention of a
scholar is due to impaired hearing !;
and the inability to hear distinctly all
that is said by teachers and pupils
gives the poor child the appearance Of
being needless and inatteDtive.
The waxy secretion found IN the
ears is natures own method Of keep
ing the ear passages in healthy condl-
ton. There is frequently, however,
an excess of this wax, and occasionally
it happens that in cleaning the child's
ears the excess wax is pushed further
into the ear passages. Repetitlons OF
this process cause the wax to become
packed, causing gradual loss OF the
hearing power. Too much stress can
not be laid upon the fact that pins and
such articles should not be used IN the
care of the ears, as serious injury is
liable from the article entering toe
far.
Glycerine and warm water in equaI
parts is mixture (and the best one,
that will dissolve and remove the wax
Apply gently with small syringe.
Should there be, at any time, any
thing in the nature Of discharges from
either ear, physicians advice should
be sought without delay. In such
cases there is almost certain to b'
some disease of the inner ear passag'
requiring medical attention.
Prompt attention will probably save
the child serious impairment OF hear

The Glove Tree.

Probably every living plant has
some insect or animal that lives on 1t
or from it some creatures subsist on
the leaves of one plant, some on the
leaves of others, some gnaw the bark,
some the root, some eat the fruit, and
a few make use of all parts; but man
consumes and destroys an immense
variety of vegetables and vegetable
products. Fruit, flowers, leaves, roots,
buds, bark and stems of different plants
are selected in turn. The Glove which
we use as a spice is the flower bud Of
a tree that is a native of the Molucca
Island.
The Glove tree Is one of the myrtle
family of plants. 1t attains a height
of some forty feet, and in its native
place lives TO an age of from 100 to
200 years.
The Glove tree l. now cultivated on
many of the islands of the Indian
Ocean, but it nowhere grows so large
or lives so long as on the small group
of islands where it was originally
found. 1t has a trunk quite straight,
with light, olive-colored bark, and
at about half its height it puts out Its
branches almost at right angles and
they bear heavy mass Of foliage, the
leaves being narrow and resembling
those of the laurel. The general aP-
pearance of the tree is quite formal
being that of an almost perfect cone
supported by a straight stem. The
trees in the plantation are set IN reg
ular rows, from ten to fifteen feet
apart each way. The flowers are
formed in terminal clusters of a dozer
or more. The flower buds are pickec
when fully formed and before they
open, and are spread out thinly in the
shade and dried where no rain can fall
on them. They are dried partly by
the natural heat of the air and partly
bv wood fires. When first pickeC
they are Of reddish color, but turr
brown in drying.
The fruit is berry and is gathereC
when green and then dried, after which
it is known as mother cloves and i
sent to some extent to this country
and Europe, but is principally usec
in China and other Eastern countries
The ripe fruit in size and shape re
sembles a small olive, and Is Of dari
red color and contains one or TIVE
seeds. 1t has the Glove flavor IN
mild degree, as have also the bark
the woodland the leaves, none of them
however, being equal to the bud Il
this respect.

Terrible Place OF Torment.

The place Of torment to which all
wicked Buddhists are apt to be assigned
on the day Of final reckoning is, pro-
viding such thing be possible, a more
terrible place Of punishment than the
Christian hell is supposed TO be. The
Buddhistic hell is sort Of apartment
house, divided in eight "easy stages.
In the first the poor victim is compelled
10 walk for untold ages in his bare
feet over hills thickly set with red
hot needles, points upward. In the
second stages the skin is all carefully
fled or rasped from the body, and irri-
tating mixtures are applied. In the
third stage the nails, hair and eyes are
plucked out, and the denuded body
slwed and planed into all sorts Of fam
.astic shapes. In the fourth stage is
that Of "sorrowiul Lamentations. In
the fifth the left side Of the body and
the denuded head are carefully roasted
Yoma, the Buddhistic Satan, superin-
tending the work. In the sixth stage,
the arms are torn from the body and
thrown into an immense vat among
the eyes, nails and hair previously re.
moved. Then, in plain hearing Of the
sOre-footed, blind, MANNED, roasted and
bleeding victim, the whole horrid mas
is pounded into a jelly. In the seventh
stage the other side Of the victim and
! his feet are roasted brown, and then
comes the eight and last stage, in
which the candidate is thrown into the
bOttomless pits Of perdition.
