The Ear.

As delicate as the organ OF vision Ii
that of hearing. and as careful watch
should be kept upon it, SO that no loss
of that more exquisite sense may oc-
cur.
When several blind persons were
questioned as to which they would
rather do without. their visual organs
or those Of hearing. the majority de-
clared in favor of hearing. We feel a
compassion for the blind; for the deaf
we are not often sympathetic. The
spectacle of sightless individual
touches US to tears; that of one who
cannot hear provokes almost a feeling
Of drollery. Yet no doubt the loss Of
one organ is as pathetic thing as the
loss of the other
Many erroneous ideas still exist In
the public mind that interfere seriously
with the work Of the skilled aurist.
Too many people think that the ear is
SO delicate an organ that nothing
whatever can be done to alleviate any
distress arising therein and allow Il
trivial disorder that might be rectified
by an aurist to bring about case of
partial deafness that settles into per.

Of the Annual Statement OF the Etna

where In this issue. The showing Is one
that the management must take pride In
placing before the public. It has, during
the year just passed, increased It's busi-
ness to an extent that surprises even It's
best and most sanguine friends. The
Etna Lies assets have nearly reached
the $50, OOO, 900 mark, showing an In
crease OF about o., 0OO, 900 in 1901, with
proportionate increases all along the line
OF the company's field Of labor.
What 90 large. gains, mean, not only to
the management, but to its 1S1 900 policy
holders, and even to the nation at large,
win be apparent from the fact that life
insurance Is Becoming one OF the leading
and best forms of Investment for rich and
poor. For the rich man life insurance lie
a great convenience; 1t increases his
credit; 1t secures hi N against adventur-
GUS speculation. For the poor man 1t is
a necessity. The life insurance policy is
generally the only asset that most men
leave behind them at death.

THE HOME DAIRY.
Those Who Follow the Apparent
Tendency Must Avoid Old Faults.

Those Who Follow the Apparent
Tendency Must Avoid Old Faults.
The tendency to return once more to
home dairying, instead of selling the
milk and cream to large separator COM
panies appears to be the result Of re-
cent invention and perfection Of small
separators operated by hand. 1t is
possible with these for the farmer and
dairyman to handle his own product,
make his own butter as formerly, and
sell it to the market he considers best.
1t is also tending to increase the size
of the average dairy. With hand
separator the farmer can handle more
cream and butter than he could when
he depended entirely upon old fash
Toned dairy methods, says G. l.. Par
dee in American Cultivator 1t may
be that the large creamery companies
and large cooperative farmers cream
cries will not be greatly affected one
way or the other by this, as the sup
ply Of milk and cream is steadily in
creasing all over the country, but GER
tainly it will make Il change on the
small farms and dairies. The question
which must be considered Of the most
importance is whether the farmer op-
Grating at home can keep up the quail
ity of his butter or will it degenerate
and sell so much below the regular
creamery butter that it will not be
profitable to make it. 4 good deal of
the dairy butter which comes to mar
ket is so inferior in quality that it
rarely brings much more than one-half
or two-thirds the price paid for best
creamery. This is due to inferior
methods used, and to the fact that old
fashioned dairy butter making cannot
produce as finished a product as the
modern creameries. 1t is possible for
the small dairyman to make almost
as good butter with the small hand
separators as that produced by the
large creameries, but to do this he
must observe the close rules and regu-
lations enforced BY the managers of
the latter Any laXity on their part
will bring deterioration in the quality.
The butter thus made, if not held too
long. should then command fair rat
ing in the market. The old fault Of
the home dairyman was that be held
his butter and cream too long. If he
persists in doing this, he will not sue
ceed under the new methods. There
must be regular weekly shipments,
even if it is necessary to increase the
herd to make it worth while.

November Term of District COnrt Has 80
Civil Cases on Docket.

Commencing at ten o clock this
morning the November term OF the
district court opened for the usual
fail grind of cases. Judge Webber
was on the bench, and quite a num-
Der Of attorneys from outside of the
city were present when Sheriff
Small raped the court to order and
announced that the term was opened
for the purpose of dispensing JUS
tice
The grand jury was charged dur
ing the forenoon, and the remainder
OF the time was taken uD with the
preliminary call OF the calendar.
There were 33 civil cases on the
latter, and none on the criminal
docket, The first three cases are
the enforcement cases for taxes
against the WiDona & st. Peter
railroad company. The remain der
of the cases have not developed
anything OF particular interest, and
unless the grand jury makes some
sensational disclosures there is not
likely to be much OF interest at this
term of court Two divorce cases
are on the docket, the first being
that of Oliver F. Moore VS.. Chris
tina NJ. Moore and the second is
Ludwig Larson kvinge VS.. Martha
kvinge, the latter one in which the
defendant makes no appearance by
attorney. The road appeal case of
81. r. Benham VS. the Board of
County Commi ssioners is the last
case on the docket.
The indications are that the 80
cases may take about two weeks.
that being the time absorbed for
the same number OF cases in the
April term of the court.

now also an attorney, came in this
