EARS REQUIRE
CONSTANT CARE
Hearing Apparatus a Most
Delicate Piece of Mechanism
and Is Very Easily Injured
REASONS FOR DEAFNESS
Lack of Attention by Mothers
Often Cause of Disaster
to Child's Auditory Organs

In the proper care OF the ears in
childhood two things have to be con-
sidered-the local conditions Of the
ears, and, what is equally important,
the general state of the child's health.
AS to the care Of the ear itself, it must
always be remembered that the hear
ing apparatus is a piece of very deli
cate mechanism, no more suited to
rough treatment than is the ball of the
eye. 1t can be easily injured by the
introduction Of foreign body, or by
a blow from the outside. Small child
rem sometimes push things into their
ears by way Of experiment. In this
case the child's guardians should keep
perfectly cool and send for a physi-
clan at once. The child must not be
shaken and punished until the object
is removed, and above all the nurse
or mother must not grope for it with
hairpin or tweezers, for that is the
way to push it farther in. or to wound
or even rupture the delicate drum
membrane-an accident which may
be followed by complete deafness, and
even death, should a serious inflamma-
tion ensue.
There is perhaps one exception to
this rule of leaving a foreign body
alone until the doctor comes. Occa-
sionally insects fly into the ear, and
cause great anguish by buzzing and
futtering about They can be speedily
disposed Of by dropping in a little
sweet oil or lukewarm sale water.
AS to injury from the outside, chill
dren should be carefully guarded
against any games which include loud
shoutings directly into the ear. and it
is surely needless to add that pulling
the ears and, above all. boxing the
ears as a form of punishment should
be held a criminal offense. 1t may in
duce partial and temporary deafness,
complete deafness and even death, and
if INDUCED in by a teacher should be
followed by arrest and public rebuke.

Under her old name, but wearing the
paint Of Uncle Sans navy, the collier
Saturn reached this port yesterday
from Comox with 2S00 tons of coal on
board. The coal, like the collier, be-
longs to Uncle Sam, but where it will
be burned is a matter on which Captain
Joseph Newell, the GOLFERS commander,
is awaiting information. The Saturn Is
here for orders. Her coal may be trans
ferred to the navy yard bunkers or to
the New York or Bennington, or the
Saturn may be ordered to carry 1t to
Honolulu or Panama.
The Saturn, which became a navy
collier during the war with Spain. is
we'll known at this port, which she has
not visited, however, for a long time.
She was owned formerly by the Boston
Towboat Company and came here un-
Ger charter to the Penama Railroad
Company. She ran between here ard
the isthmus during the suspension OF
friendly relations between the railroad
company and the Pacific Mail people.
When that difficulty was patched up
and until Uncle Sam purchased her the
Saturn engaged in the coast coal trade.
Her officers now are as follows: Cap
tain, Joseph Newell: first officer, j. t.
Rogers; second officer, r. IL. Webb;
third officer, E. Phillips; chief en-
gineer, Donald Lamont; first assistant
engineer, j. Stevens; second assistant
engineer, e. Steinberg; third assistant
engineer, T. Steinberg.

RARE DOLLAR
ON A JOURNEY
Ninety-Nine- -Year-Old Coin Is
Taken From the City of Dem
yer to the Oregon Metropolis
SEVEN OF THE VINTAGE"
Precious Piece of Metal Was
Formerly in the Collection
of a Wealthy Coloradan

One day last week a United States
silver dollar. now in its ninety-ninth
year. began its long journey from Den
yer, Colo, to Portland, Or, after hav-
ing lain in a Denver coin collection for
more than eighteen years. Though the
dollar is about the size of those coined
during the present year and contains
about the same number of grains of
silver. it brought in the neighborhood
of about IS 35 per grain of pure silver
in its combination, and all this because
it has been in the one form for nearly
100 years.
This dollar is one of the coinage Of
1904, Of which there are only seven
known to be in existence. It was
bought by the late j. V. Dexter at the
Chapman sale of coins in 1885, At that
time the coin had been but lately Sc
cured from collection in Berlin, being
the only one of the dollars that is
known to have been in a foreign col
lection. Mr.. Dexter paid $1,000 for the
dollar, having to bid against several
other collectors, the price being at that
time the largest that had ever been
paid for one of the coinage named.
Since then one of the other coins had
been sold for $1,000, a record that held
good until last week, when H. G..
Brown of Portland, Or, paid $4,000 for
the coin to r. G.. Parvin, who succeed
ed to the ownership of the Dexter col
lection Mr.. Parvin did not willingly
part with the coin at that price, for
he has held it as the key piece of his
numismatic collection.
The scarcity of dollars of the 1904
vintage" is explained by an accident
at sea- The larger part of the silver
dollars of that year was struck off to
pay United States soldiers and sailors
doing duty in Tripoli, North Africa,
and were shipped to that place. The
vessel that carried them away from
this country was never heard from.
again, so the entire cargo is supposed
to rest somewhere upon the floor Of
the Atlantic Ocean.
Just seven copies of the dollar of that
year are in existence, two lying in the
mint at Philadelphia and the others be-
ing in private collections. In 1858 some
copies of the coin of 1904 were struck
off. being known as "restrikes," but all
but two of them were called in, the
records show. and destroyed. One copy
of the "restrike" is in the mint at Phil
adeIphia and the other is owned in Eng
land. No counterfeit of the 1904 dollar
was ever known.-New York CONNER
