Obntructions In the Nose.

Very many young children have the
bad habit Of pushing small. hard SUBJ
stances, as shoe buttons, beans or peas,
into the ears or nostrils. 4 simple
way to remove an object from the nose
is to compress the opposite side and
make the child blow his nose violently.
If he will not do this. induce sneeze
by tickling the nostrils with feather,
blade of grass or some fluffy substance.
If this, too, Is not successful. little
pepper or snuff should be used. A hard
sneeze will probably remove the OBJ
struction, but always keep the oppo-
site side Of the nose compressed.
If the trouble is in the ear, It is 4
little more serious and the object more
difficult to remove. Insects, bugs,
beads or small pebbles may be forced
out by gently Swinging the ear with
warm water or by pouring in, few
drops Of oil or glyeerin, but If the OBJ
ject be large and so tightly wedged in
that it cannot be easily removed With
the fingers do not tamper with 1t, but
take the child to a good aurist. II the
object be pea or bean, it is better not
to use a syringe, as the water will
cause IL to swell. An old and excellent
way to remove these obstructions Is to
dip a camel's hair brush or small stick
which has been tapered of to almost a
point in some stout glue. Attach this
to the offending body and allow the
glue to harden, then gently draw 1t out.

How to GcoH Short.

If you climb a mountain, your height
decreases by three-quarters Of an inch,
and it may even diminish, exceptional
ly, by full inch.
This Is a fact known to all expert
enced mountain and Alpine climbers.
On reaching the summit of the heights
that form the pleasure ascents Of holi.
day makers in the Alpine districts the
stature Of the climber Is found to have
become less to the extent already men
toned.
Doctors think that the attitude as
sumed 'of necessity in ascending Is the
cause Ct this diminution. Some per.
sons believe that the pressure Of the at.
mosphere produces this shrinking. In
favor .; the medical theory there is the
other unquestionable fact that the. dc.
crease Of stature Is greater in those
who carry heavy pack during THE
climb.
When the Alpinist has descended io
the ordinary level. his height begins to
increase, but the normal length Of the
body is not attained until several hours
after reaching the regular surface OF
the earth.

in the cellars where poverty resided.
He gave instances Of the heroism and
devotion Of the poor. The poor are al
ways good to each other. When man
with millions gives, we make great

place, for it's tie widows mite that
counts.

and it grew hotter, and we grew sleep

The Sun Shrinks Nine Inches a Day:
In one Of his lectures on the sun Sir
Robert Ball pointed out that the sun
was the source Of all the heat received
by this earth. Now, 1t was we'll
known fact that most things in cooling
became smaller. A poker, for example,
was shorter when it was cold than
when it was red hot. The sun, too.
must obey this fundamental law and
must therefore be getting smaller. If
we could measure it's diameter on two
successive days, we should find 1t had
decreased by nine inches-that was to
say, it was shrinking at the rate Of,
roughly, five feet a week, or mile in
every 20 years.
In view of this shrinkage some Of the
younger members Of his audience might
feel anxious lest the sun should not last
their time. Such anxiety, however, was
groundless. He was 100000 miles In
diameter, so it would take 10000 years
for him to be reduced By 1000 miles to
85S,O0O, and the lecturer was sure that
If there were two suns In the sky, one
86O, 900 miles In diameter and the other
85S,OOO, no one would be able TO tell by
looking at them which Of the two was
the smaller.
But as the sun was shrinking nine
inches every day and had been doing so
for ages it followed that IN the past he
was very much greater than he was
now. But he always had the same
amount Of material in him and weighed
no heavier than at present. Hence the
Inference was that he was once huge
mass of rarefed gas-a great, glowing
nebula.
