AURlClE LORE.
The Elder Pliny's Quaint Essay ON
Ears, Human and Animal.

The Elder Pliny's Quaint Essay ON
Ears, Human and Animal.
The human ear and it's peculiarities
are the subject Of some interesting re-
marks in American Medicine. The ear,
being placed on the borderland Of face
and head, enjoys but doubtful claims
to the dignity Of feature" But Its
form tells markedly in the makeup Of
Individual beauty. A perfectly formed
auricle Is very desirable feature in
deed. And we sometimes meet with
one which constitutes a revolving de-
formity.
The cropping of the ears to which OBJ
streperous patriots were subjected, in
the infancy of British liberty, necessi-
tated the wearing Of voluminous wigs
by such men as Prynne and De Foe.
There is an inevitable suggestiveness
about long ears of which the owner
can never feel precisely proud. The
physiognomists have all noticed the
organ. Rhazes observes that "a man
with large ears is stupid, but long
hved," and Baptista Porta gives a
nearly similar impression. The elder
Pliny is rather full in this as in most
other items Of the gossiping lore Of
natural history. He says in that:
MAN alone hath not the power to
shake his cares. OF flaggie. long, and
hanging cares, came the syrnames first
of the Flacci Families and houses in
Romeo. There is no one part of the bodie
costeth our danes more than this, by
reason of their precious stones and
pendant pearls thereat. In the East
countries, men also as well as women,
think it great grace and bravery to
weare earrings of gold. AS touching
their proportion, some creatures haue
bigger or lesser than others. Deere
only, the fallow as well as the red,
haue them slit and as it were diuided.
In Rats and mice they be hairy.
'"To conclude, no creature hath cares
but those that bring forth their young
aliue; and none of them are without
saue onely Scales, Dolphins, Vipers,
and such fishes as were called Car
tilagineous and gristly. And these all
instead of cares, haue certain holes or
conduits, except the foresaid gristly
fishes, & the Dolphins: and yet man.
ifest it is, that they do heare wei
enough. For delighted they be with
musick; and vpon. some great noise
and sudden crack they are astonished,
and then easily taken. But maruel it
is how they should heare as they do;
neither can comprehend the reason
and means thereof, no more than am
able to shew how they do smell, for
no Organs and Instruments haue they
thereof to be scene, & yet there is not
an hound vpon the land sents better,
nor hath finer nose than they. OF
all souls, the Likeowle and the Otus
alone, haue feathers like cares: the
rest haue only holes to heare by. And
after the same manner skaled fishes
and serpents. In Horses. Mules, and
Asses, and all such as serue either
pack or saddle, the cares are tokens
Of their courage more or lesse."

NO TITLE LIKE "MOTHER."
The Good Woman Glories In 1t and
Tits Herself For II.

The Good Woman Glories In 1t and
Fits Herself For 1t.
There is no title more beautiful than
mother" The good woman glories in
1t and fits herself to be worthy of the
name in every sense, Willingly she
goes down into the valley of the
shadow Of death that she may rise al
most glorified in her new honor.
Unfortunately there are many erring
selfish mothers, as well as good ones
many who should never have been
mothers. The woman who accepts the
crown Of motherhood should discharge
her duties faithfully, even though they
involve sacrifice. Reverence would be
the natural possession of every child II
the parents were worthy Of the respec,
of their children. Parents may fee
that 1t does not matter whether theii
children respect them or not-that the
achievement Is not worth the effort
which it costs them-but 1t matters Il
the children. Their own well being de
mands that they reverence father ant
mother.
AS binding as this duty should bt
considered by parents, equally so is the
one Of providing in early life for theil
own old age. Parents should not
when the evening Of life comes, be de
pendent on their children, thus inter
fering with the responsibilities those
children must naturally have assumed
A mother has no moral right to inter
fere with the marriage Of her daugh
ter. 1t should be the duty and PRIVILEGE
