EAR TROUBLES.
AS n Rule They Are Due TO Abuses
of Some Kind.

OF Some Kind.
The best way to care for the ear Ii
to study the things not to do. II Is
one of the most independent of organs,
knowing very well how to take care of
Itself. If it Is duly respected, little
trouble or none wiz result In cases
where something unforeseen goes
wrong a physician should be consulted
at once. Almost all troubles of the
ear are due to abuses of some kind.
The wax seems to worry a great many
people, and In their concern they usual
Ily manage to seriously interfere with
its functions. In the healthy eur the
wax, or cerumen, is a thin, yellowish
fluid that thickens into paste as 1t
dries. Nature provides for It's natural
exit from the ear passage by uniting
Iit with the tiny flakes of dead skin,
which fall outward unnoticed either by
seeing or feeling, Thus wax does not
accumulate in healthy ear, which has
Just enough to make sticky the stiff
little hairs that grow In the passage.
Instruments should never be poked
into the ear by the inexperienced nor
wads of material continually mopped
and squeezed into the opening for
cleansing. Usually such treatment in
duces an increase or caking of wax.
Hot water is the best solvent for wax,
1O5 to 115 degrees f. If the need of 1t
Is imperative, gently SYRINGE the ear
with 1t. Cotton plugs in the ear are
useful at times, but should be used no
more than absolutely necessary, for
they obstruct the canal and interfere
with the natural way of casting off
wax

PROTECTIVE RESEMBLANCE
v,micry of Color and Form Common
Among Insects.

An official of the National museum
AZ washington who has made many
trims abroad In the interest of that in.
etitution states that in South Ameri.
can forests the butterflies and the birds
are equally brilliant in their colors, but
that the butterflies, being weaker, fall
q prey to the birds. One very bright
bued species of butterfly, however. Is
NOT disturbed by the birds on account
Of the dlsagreeable odor that it emits.
Singuarly enough, some other groups
If butterflies, which resemble in color
the species just described, also escape
nersecution by the birds. although they
omit no odor. 1t Is evident that the
similarity of color deceives the birds.
and thus serves as n shield for the but
terfies. This sort of mimicry of color
and form, which naturalists call pro
tective resemblance" is not very un.
common among insects.
Another form of protective resem-
blance" which exhibits much contriv-
ance and skill is sometimes found
among birds. Some birds hide their
eggs among stones that resemble the
eggs in form and color. The little bot
tle tit In England weaves bottle
shaped nest out of moss, lichens and
spiders' webs, and when placed in a
tree or bush the nest so closely resem-
bles it's surroundings that it can hardly
be detected The color and appearance
of the nest are limitations of the pre-
vailing color and appearance of the
particular tree in which it is placed

THE GOLDEN CROSS.
Bavnria's Famous Hotel Is the Old
est In Europe.


est In Europe.
The Goldenes Kreuz Golden Crosse
at Regensburg Qatisbon), in Bavaria,
is the oldest hotel in Europe. King
Ferdinand l. halted at it on his way
to his coronation in 1881, and no other
hotel in Europe possesses records of
such great antiquity as the Golden
Cross at Ratisbon does or can boast Of
having had so many royal visitors as
have enjoyed its hospitality. The ex-
listing visitors books, which date from
1919, contain the names of more than
800 imperial, royal and prlncely per-
sonages. The room Is shown where In
1865 the late Prince Bismarck, at that
time Prusslan premier, slept when he
came with his sovereign to hold the
conference which was the last attempt
to prevent war between Austria and
Prussia. The negotiations were held in
the small hall" of the hotel, under
the presidency of King William Of
Prussia. The host Is equally proud of
the autographs of Schiller and other
men of letters which he possesses.

OUESADA URGED
 BY ALL TO REMAIN
ROOT POINTS OUT THAT CUBA IS MORE IN NEED OF HER SONS SERVICES THAN EVER BEFORE. WILL REMAIN TEMPORARILY.

Washington, October 3.-Secretary Root today made public a letter he had writ ten to Gonzalo De Quesada minister of Cuba, in which MT. Quesada is urged by Secretary Taft and Secretary Root to re- main at his post as minister. MT. Quesada had sent in his resignation upon the downfall of the Palma government Secre- tary Root expresses the determination "of Cuba's real friends thattall this wretched business will soon be oYer" Mir. Roots letter, dated october 1, folows:
 "A dispatch from Mr. aeon in Havana has been received today the department of state as follows The secretary Of WAT instruets me to ask you to say to Quesada that the secretary hopes he will not think of resigning, that his services will be of the grea test value to Cuba and to the United States in this great crisis. and that he relies upon the assistance which he feels sure that Minister Quesada will the restoration of his country to her con- stitutional government
 "I wish to add my own personal re- quest to that of Secretary Taft. It seems to me that your services was never more needed by your country than now, and that it would be a misfortune if you were to lay aside that official position which may enable you to make your ser vice effective. I am much distressed by the events which have occurred since we left the United States to attend the conference at Rio, but do not think there is just reason for the friends of Cuba to despair of her liberty her independence, or her success in self government. You will recall that the provision of the Cuba constitution and the treaty under which the United States is now acting provides ton of Cuban independence, and you will preceive in the terms of Secretary Taft s proclamation that such is the purpose of the government of the United States. To secure the successful accomplishment of this purpose as speedily as possible, all friends of Cuba ought to unite their earn est efforts. With hopeful courage and de- termination on the part of Cuba's real friends that all this wretched business will soon be over and we shall look back upon 1t as merely hard lesson in tho course of Cuba's development in the act of seif-government.
 Always faithfully yours
