9 Chaddock's Statement.
The story of the incidents which lead
UP to the attempt at self destruction
3s told by ChadHock when seen at the
hospital is as follows:
Several months ago colored fell
low named Charles Patterson came to
the mines to work and we took him in
to board. We got along all right for
several weeks then he went to Kan
sas to work during the harvest season.
n little over a week ago he came back
and reported that there was no work to
be had there. He didn't have any mon
ey and had no job.
Il didn't want to take him, for had
enough to do to take care of my own
family without taking any one else in.
( My wife insisted on allowing him to
stay and we had several quarrels over
the matter. Wednesday threw the
fellow out with his baggage and since
that time my wife has not spoken to
me. She used to tell me sometimes
that she was going away but l never
thought much of it and always took it
as a joke. She did not tell me this
time that she was going away.
II work nights. go on at 6 O'Clock
in the evening and get off at in the
morning. This morning when l came
home found the door locked and could
not raise any one. Finally broke in
and found my wife and children gone
She had taken all her clothes and ey
erything she could except the furni
ture.

Fruit Seeds and Appendicitis.

Many very intelligent people are de-
tered from swallowing the seed of ber-
ries, grapes and other fruits lest the
Judgment of these small bits of indiges-
tibleness may induce that dreaded acct
dent appendicitis. This fear Is utterly
baseless, since the healthy appendix is
protected by valvular arrangement
which prevents even the smallest seeds
from entering it. 1t is only after in
flammatiOn has already destroyed it's
normal protection that any foreign SUBJ
stance can gain access to it. TO feel
compelled to eschew all seedy berries
and fruits is to seriously curtail ones
dietary, and it is entirely unnecessary.
In fact, the free and constant use Of
ripe berries and fruits of all kinds is
one of the best prcventives of this dan
gerous disease. Fruit eating prevents
or helps to overcome constipation, and
constipation is the most prolific cause
Of appendicitis. The physician should
thoroughly disabuse his patients of this
mistaken notion. All the smooth seeds
are harmless. -IIygienic Gazette.

nerves of hearing which communicate
with the brain. Owing to these com
pick and winding cavities. a great ex-
tent of nerves is exposed for the recep-
ton Of sound
Now let us see what happens when
somebody says Hear to you.
The air is thrown into vibrations,
which spread out and out until they
touch the side of your head. There
the fleshy flap on one side collects and
magnities the vibrations.
Down the ear funnel they pass until
they reach the membrane Of the drum
of the ear. They strike on the men,
brane, which adapts itself to them.
Then the vibrations are communicated,
through the bones in the middle ear,
to the membrane covering the entrance
to the labyrinth.
II youzkeep your mouth wide open
the air vibrations pass direct to the
little bones. The impulses of the air
are not interrupted by first having to
strike the membrane of the drum; that
is all the difference.
People could easily converse with
their ears sealed up. If the two
speakers each held an end of the same
piece of hard wood against their teeth
even the faintest whisper could be I'M
derstood
You will see from this that what are
commonly called the ears are not es-
sentially necessary to hearing, after
all.
Well, however the vibrations are re-
ceived, they finally strike against the
membrane covering the entrance to the
hall of the labyrinth. Thence they
make the fluid which fills the labyrinth
vibrate. These vibrations AIT on the
iibers of the auditory nerve, the fbers
which coat the inner ear. Along this
nerve the impressions are communicate
ed to the brain. In this manner the
sensation of sound is produced, and
you know that somebody said Hear"
to you,

Two mmCrS, TWO

Two Snail Shells, SIX Drums and
Several other Curious Utensils.
The hearing apparatus is far more
Nonderful than most people have the
slightest idea of. 1t is marvellous
collection of Instruments for receiving,
gillrations, as the learned term them
Nhat you do when you speak to a
friend is to throw the air into vibra-
ion Your vocal organs strike the air,
and the impulses thus caused reach the
trumpet shaped bits of flesh and gristle
you call ears. You have altogether six
ears.
The flaps which are stuck on to each
side of the head are the outer ears. Be
sides these there are the middle ears
and the inner ears, all of which lie in
cavities in the bones of the head All
that the flaps do is to collect and CON
centrate the vibrating currents of air
so that they may strike the ear drums.
These latter are really the middle
ears The outer ear narrows as it en-
ters the head and ends in ring. \
membrane is stretched over this ring,
much in the same way as Il piece of
parchment is stretched over the head
of drum.
The ear drum is Il true drum, for it
can be frightened and sackened by
means OF levers made for that purpose
The tightening and slackcning are done
quite automatically to suit the various
sounds
This is how it is tightcncd: In the
middle ear are four tiny bones, the
most peculiar looking bones imayina-
Bile. The biggest is Il little odd shaped
bone called the mallct. 1t looks Ike Il
llliputian version of Il Holsters claw.
Minute muscles are attached to ii, so
that it may act as lover to increase
or diminiSh the tension of the drum
skin. one muscle rclaXcs the mem-
brane, another pulls it taut.
The -four bones form Il chain to con
meet the drum skin of the outer ear with
the drum skin OF the inner and So To
conduct the sound, The next bone 10
the mallet is the anvil, then come the
spherical bone and the stirrup. which
looks exactly like It's uNmcsNlc. but it
is by far the most important of the
four. by means oi this aIoue one can
hear in Il fashion, even if all the others
be Sone.
4 bony, gristly tube joins the ear
drum With the back of the mouth ut
the side of the soft palate. Hence the
four bones are always in 4 bath of air
quite naked, as it We're. 1t is owing to
this that people who are somewhat
deaf are able to hear better when they
listen with their mouths open.
Now we come To the inmoSt ear,
which is made up of three parts. The
first one is called the vcstibule. or hail.
and it has Il drumhead To which the
chain of little bones is attached.
The hall leads to the other parts.
both of which consist of tortuous tubes
along which the sound passes. One
part is made of three semcircular
canals. The other is shaped exactly as
snail's shell. All these make up :,
peculiar labyrinth, and all are com
pletely filed with curious fluid. Theil
walls are lined with the soft. pulpy
