Care of the Ears.

Never wear cotton in the ears if they
are discharging pus.
Never put anything into the ear for
the relief of toothache.
Never attempt TO apply poultice to
the inside of the canal of the ear.
Never drop anything into the ear
until it has been previously warmed.
Never use anything but syringe
and warm water for clearing the ears
of pus.
Never striko nor box child's ears;
this has been known to rupture the
drumhead and cause incufable deaf
ness.
Never wet the hair if you have any
tendency to deafness; wear an oiled
silk cap when bathing and refrain
from diving.
Never scratch the ears with any
thing but the finger. if they itch. Do
not use the head Of o pin, hairpin,
pencil tips or anything of that nature.
Never put milk, fat or any oily sub.
stance into the ear for the relief Of
pain, for they soon become rancid and
tend to excite inflammation. Simple
warm water will answer the purpose
better than anything else.
Never be alarmed if a living insect
enters the ear. Pouring warm water
into the ear will drown it, when it will
generally come to the surface and car
be easily removed with the fingers. 4
few puAfs of tobacco smoke blown into
the ear will stupefy the insect.
Never NEEDLE with the ear if .
foreign body, such as bead, buttol
or seed enters it. Leave it absolutely
alone until physician can attend tt
it. More damage has been done b!
the injudicious attempts at the ex
traction Of foreign body than coult
ever come from it's presence in the ear

The Democracy Of Greece.

"Our country is certainly more DEM
/, ocratic than the United States" the
Grown Prince Of Greece one said to me,
in the midst of a conversation abouts
the political institutions Of his coun-
try. He was surely right, it the re-
mark be applied to the social and poll
tical instincts Of the Greek people. No
more naturally and unaffectedly dem-
ocratic people exists under the sun
than the Greek. Not only are there mo-
aristocratic titles, but there is no Fap-.
parent consciousness, in the ordinary,
life and manners, of the existence Of
social barriers. The village demarch
sits placidly and comfortably with the
other villagers and the peasants in the
cafe or bakali; the cabman who served
you yesterday does not omit to give
you from his box graceful salute as
he passes you on the street; no, hum
bleness of occupation Of Of presumed
station in life deters one man from,
greeting another whom he meets on the
road or in the square, or from begin
ming the frankest and freest CONVERSE
ton. The reserve and cautious, ifnot
bashful, self-respect of .Ahe Anglo
Saxon commonly interprets this Greek
freedom at the first as bald efrontery.
In the judgment Of the newcomer the
Greek commonly gains the credit Of
being what the American collegian
would call decidedly fresh" In
reality, it is part and parcel Of the Ma
tional courtesy, tinctured and scon.
ditioned, to be sure, by the equally
National curiosity. Democracy is no
affectation. The bashfulness which
springs from suspicion of barriers is u1i.

No Marriages in Korea.

one year ago the Queen of Korea
was assassinated, and because she has
been unburied no marriages have been
allowed to take place since then. No
fond pair may marry while the King or
Queen is dead and unburied. The
Queens mourning husband cannot
bear to have her officially inferred.
For year, then, passionate Koreans
have been kept apart. Recently fox
entered the royal park, and as Koreans
have superstition regarding the fox,
the unwedded lovers took the appear
ance of the animal to be a good omen.
The King does not see it in the same
light. -

His Weight In Gold.

The ancient annual ceremony Of
"Talabbaram," or weighing the
Maharajah Of Travancore against an
equivalent weight Of gold, has come
round again. 1t appears to have
been conducted this year with great
pomp and ceremony, for the present
Maharajah is a Hindu Of the ortho-
dox type, vino aspires to keep up the
traditions of his house. Some months
before the ceremony the Government
purchased through its commercial
agent at Alleppey about two thou
sands weight Of pure gold, the great
er part Of which was converted into
coins for this purpose. After pre-
senting an elephant and offerings to
the shrine, the Maharajah entered
the building prepared for the occa-
sion, and having completed the pre-
liminary ceremonies, mounted one OF
the scales. The sword and shield
were laid in his lap; in the other side
of the scale gold coins, struck for the
occasion, were placed by the first and
second princes, till it touched the
ground and the Maharajah rose in
the air, the priest meanwhile chant
ing Wedic hymns. Volleys were
fired, the band played, and the troop:
presented arms. The Maharajah
worshiped at the shrine, and then
went to the palace. Subsequently
the Dewan and other officials dlstrlb'
uted the coins from the fort gates tc
