Care Of the Ears.

A prominent physician says that
more than half OF the ear troubles
from which people suffer during the
cold weather can be traced to the
habit of picking at the ears with the
fngernails or hairpins or some other
hard substance, which irritates the
delicate inside of the ear. Instead Of
this injurious picking" the ears
should be washed out with warm
water ana little good soap, and thor
oughly dried after the operation. If
the ears are sensitive a little cotton
may be put in before going into the
open air, though this is apt TO make
them even more sensitive. In ex-
tremely cold weather before venturing
out a good way to clean the ears Is to
wrap the corner of a. towel around
the finger, and with little cold cream
carefully wipe out the auriele. 1t
will remove every particle of dust and
will really protect the ears from the
cold, but it can scarcely be recon-
mended for regular use, New York

Madagascar's Queen, according to all
accounts, has many curious ways and
traits of character. She is always
dressed in the latest Partisan style.
Her private expenses arc met by a
fund called the "hasina," to which
all who come into the presence of her
Majesty are required to contribute a
fve-franc piece. 1t is the duty Of the
youngest member of the royal family
to present hat, into which the coin is
dropped. Moreover, whenever the
Queen travels the inhabitants of all
the towns and villages she visits are
expected to contribute to the same
fund either in money or kind. She is
very fond of games, particularly Of
lotto and billiards, and she ilatters
herself she can fly kite higher than
anyone of her subjects. Chicago

The Board of Supervisors of the
Boston Public Schools has reported in
favor Of vertical, instead of slant,
handwriting. The report states that
the adoption Of vertical handwriting
in number of European schools has
proved 20 be remedy for various
physical defects, and that it has the

Board therefore makes these recon-

well to the seq, for / had resolved TO
go away the next day. Twas standing
on the edge Of the rock, when, looking
down, saw John Martin at the base,
sitting upon a rock, his head bowed
upon his hands, his whole frame con-
vulsed with deep sobs.
'T knew then he loved me. can
not tell how knew it, but was sure
then, as am now, that he was weep

down beside him, and put my arms
about his neck.
"'Oh, John, said, don't let me

"She can adopt somebody else."
'You see," said Margie, laughing
and blushing, 81 was doing all the

Johns eyes that told me he was plead

he loved me even when, for my sake,
he thought it right to send me away.
''He insisted upon my going to
Philadelphia for a year, to test my

homesick and wretched, he came to
me.
"He knew then loved him for all

than he had loved the woman who was
false to him in his youth. So we were
married, and came to Star Point. to
the home where was born, and where

Here the sound of laughing voices
reached us, and looking out, we saw
the golden-haired twins, all glowing
and dripping, coming over the sands,
one astride of the black dogs back,
the other upon his fathers shoulders.
The old man was prancing like horse,
the dog barking and trotting beside
him, and the twin boys shouting end

ANOTHER SPRING.

If I might see another spring
I'd not plant summer flowers and wait
I'd have my crocuses at once,
My leahess pink mezerons,
My chill-veined snowdrops, choieer yet,
My white or azure violet,
Leaf-nested primrose anything
To blow at once, not late.
II ] might see another spring
I'd listen to the daylight birds
That build their nests and pair and sing,
Nor wait for mateless nightingale
I'd listen TO the lusty herds,
The ewes with lambs as white as snow,
I'd ind out music in the hall
And all the winds that blow.
II might see another spring
oh, singing comment on my past
That all my past results in Elf
II might see another spring
I'd laugh to-day-to-day is brief;
would not wait for anything;
I'd use to-day that cannot last
Be glad to-day and sing.

STEVE ELkINS

The Hon. Stephen B. Elkins, United
States Senator from West Virginia, more
generally known throughout the union
as plain Steve" Elkins, is soon to visit
Los Angeles.
Mr.. Elkins is a Republican and enter
tains old-time hardshell views on the
tariff, and would probably back up Tom
Reed and the rest Of them in any kind of
fun they might wish to have with the
Democratic minority in the next Con-
gress; but for all that he is a fair fighter,
an able lawmaker, and what is more
especially to the point just now, great
friend OF Southern California. He has
declared himself on a number Of occasions
to be a profound believer in the great
future Of the southwestern section, of
which Southern California Is the COM
mercial center and the outlet to the sea.
When the San Pedro matter comes up
in the United States Senate, which will
be within year, everybody knows which
side Mr.. Elkins will be on, and we may
expect him to get in some sledgehammer
blows, for that is the kind he is in the
habit Of delivering.
1t is understood that Mr.. Elkins is in
terested in the movement to construct
railway from Salt Lake City to Los Ange-
les, and his visit to this city and Southern
California is partly in the interest of that
undertaking. Mr.. Elkins is himself a
man of large property, and he is in a
position to influence great deal of cap
ital. If he takes hold of the building OF
the railroad to Salt Lake in good earnest
it will be built forthwith-that is to say,
as soon as an appropriation for San Pedro
has passed Congress.
In the next Senate we shall have two
good friends to whom we may refer as
Our Steve" and the second of these
will be Stephen B. Elkins.

THE STREET RAILWAY REORGANIZATION

The street railway system of the CITY
has been in many ways excellent, but in
others has shown the deficiencies that
prompt our old friends, "Justitia. " PRO
Bono Publico, "Old Subscribe " and
Tax Fayer" to write letters to the editor
denouncng open cars in cold weather. the
absence of tenders on dummies, uncer-
tain service, and kindred faults. General
NJ. Fl. Sherman to whom is largely due
the construction of the electric railway
and its consolidation with the cable sys-
tenn, in the face of great difficulties ac-
complished much, and it is pleasant to
learn that he has not suffered in the re
organization OF the company whic Ii
promises to satisfactorily complete what
he so happily originated.
AS will be seen in the local columns
Mr.. Morris Trumbull. in the interests of
the new company, has taken charge uf the
lines and makes some very pleasing prom
ses, such that the cable roads will be
at once electricized and that new and un-
profitable ones will be purchased. The
assurance Is also given that the com pany
stands ready TO spend half million dol
lars in iml rowing their property such is
their faith IN the present and future of
the city. The pnblic will hope to see
these assertions promptly and effectually
carried out.
1t is such facts as these that unmistak-
ably show the business solidity of Los
Angeles and Southern California. and
makes this city, according to the opinion
Of all visiting business men, the most
prosperous place in the Union.
