Earache.

Earache Is such common symptom,
especially liz children, that domestic RENE
dies are often used until the disease de-
mands the advice of specialist. BY that
time often great harm has been done and
perhaps serious consequences have resulted.
DIR. +. w. Hinkel calls attention to the
grave significance of earache and the i'm
portanoe of early treatment. Earache In
children may be the first indication Of an
approaching meningitis.
An earnche should not be passed over
with superficial examination, but the
child should be given hot footbaths and
put to bed. The bowels should be freely
acted on. Hot, dry applications are better
than moist ones. It Is better not to inject
solutions of laudanum, morphia or cocaine
into the ear Opiates, too, often mask
the pain and conceal the real trouble. De-
lays are dangerous, and in case of APP
preaching rupture the tympanum should
be freely incised. No physician should
ever hesitate to call in an aurist when in
doubt. Exchange.

Initiating Ground Glass.

sired effect may be gained easily and in
expeDsively Any one who has been un-
fortunate enough to break a pane of glass
Of this sort knows by experience how much
more costly it is than ordinary window
glass.
To initiate ground glass diamond pat
tern is simple and satisfactory. Prepare
an ordinary pane of glass by first having
10 thoroughly clean and dry, and then Gov
er on the inside with coat Of white lac
varnish. Fold piece of white tissue paper
the size of the pane lengthwise over and
over again, as one used to do In cutting
out the kind of paper dolls that were al
ways united like the Siamese twins. Make
a diamond pattern from a piece Of stiff
cardboard and cut out this pattern through
the several thicknesses of tissue paper, put
this on the glass, give another coat OF
white lac varnish. and after the few min
utes it takes to dry the work will be COM
plete. The first coat of varnish should be
still damp when the paper is applied.

The Good of Fraternity.

AS the human race ages there seems
higher laws of love, generosity and
fraternal friendship. This is evidenced
by the increased spirit Of fraternal
feeling which fluids expression in the
numerous fraternal societies of today.
That the universal brotherhood Of
man is not merely beautiful senti-
mental theory, but a living, actual
reality, is fully demonstrated by the
stirring times in which we live. At
no time in the history of humanity has
the spirit of fraternity held as wide a
sweep in the hearts and lives of man
kind as at present. 1t seems to be one
OF the spontaneous productions of our
advanced civilization.
Turn where we may the voice of cor
dial greeting sounds in our ear, and
the warm hand of brotherly fellowship
is held out to us. What does all this
mean? What lesson do we learn from
this happy condition of things? What
undercurrent of thought and motive
has contributed this felicitious state of
things to our times? The answer is
simple and easy. 1t is nothing less
than the influence OF the fraternal So
ciety of the present day, which has
become the great educator Of our gen.
Grafton in these sacred laws of human
ity and love, and that shall eventually
lead the race to the ideal state of
living, and cement the common interest
into unlt.-Ex.

No good man, no brother with pure
heart or with right intentions, will de-
sire TO be excused from his duty Those
who cherish respect for fraternity and
its teachings, will esteem attendance
at the lodge meetings privilege
rather than burden, a pleasure rather
than an irksome task. There is no
test that more clearly reveals the
amount of regard, which members
cherish for their lodge or the welfare
OF the order and the carrying out of
its principles, than their habits of at
tendance at stated meetings. Were all

the lodge room would be deserted and

plished by our beloved order, wor Id

lived in the tree found one sad morning
that they were prisoners in that home, the
tree being surrounded by water. Many
squirrels can swim, but these squirrels
could not. Their position was due to the
beavers, who, as you may see, are busy at
work constructing new dam, and in the
course of their labors they have caused an
inundation. 1t was this inundation which
troubled the squirrels and exercised their
wits to the uttermost. At length they de-
cided to use rough piece of wood passing
under their tree as a raft to float them
home, and so to get safe back to the woods
again. The ingenious plan succeeded.

A Wordin Season.


A word in season fifty spoken, how
effective is it. The kindly work and
the motive prompting it win the heart.
1t is easily spoken and costs you moth
ing either The kindly word, like
charity, brings its own reward and you
feel the satisfaction OF having spoken
from a lofty motive while the person
spoken TO respects you for your friendly
intentions towards him. A word in
season may make or mar the happiness
OF lifetime, and duty and self salts
faction call is to increase the sum Of
this worlds happiness SO far as lies
within the sphere OF our influence.
There are many of our members who
do not avail themselves Of the oppor-
might result in bringing good man
within the protection OF our order. 1t
is not that these brothers are selfish or
totally Indifferent to the claims of our
society and their obligations, but they
are not filled with the enthusiasm that
kindles into Jealous action and makes
a man burning and shining light to
lead others into the way of safety and
happiness. 1t is needless to say you
cannot do something for the order as
you surely have some influence in your
locality and this being, so it follows,
that you should go out and exercise
that influence by bringing in candi-
date for initiation. Why stand We
here idle, was the mild rebuke of the
lord OF the vineyard in the long ago,
and may not the question be repeated
and applied to our own time and case.
The year is about to close during which
you have been an inactive member.
But may you not yet accomplish some
thing to bring satisfaction to yourself
and prosperity TO the order, by bring
ing in new member. There are good
men in every locality requiring only
the kindly word to bring them within
our portals and duty calls you to be
the medium to lead them in. If you
were asked to do some great thing OF
make some sacrifice you might plead
inability TO act but there is nothing
now in the way of your being success
full as a canvasser for members if you
only try to. Remember, this is jubilee
year-the year of our new departure
which should be made so successful IL:
to be an inspiration for all future time
Behold what many of the lodges have

and permanence to our jurisdiction anC

Of a deep interest and the kindly wore
tittingly spoken is necessary to make

.yapanese School Punishments.

If japanese schoolboy is refractory, he
has to take the consequences just as much
as though he was an American boy, al
though the punishments vary from those
administered in this country. If he is de-
tected in place of mischief, he may have
to face the school holding piece of burn
ing punk in his hand until the fire is ex-
tinguished. If he has the chance, maybe
he will tweak an end off the stick so 1t
won't burn so long. Another penance is
to hold cup of water for an hour or so.
1t is to be hoped that little boys in that
land do not, as some children do here, re-
gard their teachers as natural enemies,
only to find out in after years that they
were instead good, true friends.

An Innocent Plot,

Take an ordinary drinking glass and fill
about three-quarters full of water or any
other liquid Let the rim of the glass be
quite dry. Place on top of it, as if to pro.
tect from dust, an ordinary playing card,
with its face downward. The card should
be large enough TO project slightly beyond
the edge of the glass at each side Let the
card remain thus for about half an hour.
At the end of that time you will find that
the humidity arising from the liquid has
caused a slight depression in the middle
of the card and curved the edges SO that
they no longer rest upon the glass. This
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1898-01-27

is the stage at which your experiment is
supposed TO begin. Lift the card carefully
by one corner and place it, face upward,
on the glass. Have ready small cork
stopper, in the top of which you have in
serted little paper manikin. Place this
stopper carefully on top of the card just
where the surface appears to be swollen.
Let ii rest a few minutes until by the ac-
ton of the humidity of the air in the glass,
the effect first produced on the card Is re-
versed With sudden, sharp sound the
slight elevation on which the manikin sits
enthroned sinks into hollow, and both
cork and figure are projected into the air.
The spectators, having no clew to the
trick, are mystifled at this apparently in
explicable phenomenon.
