Noises In The Head.

Noises in the head are OF various kinds,
and come from a good many different
causes they are not always indications
of ear disease. Sometimes they are,
owing TO changes in the walls OF the blood
vessels, in the composition of the blood,
or in the force Of the blood pressure; or
they may be caused by certain drugs.
such as quinine and salicylic acid.
The character OF the sound differs ae-
cording to the cause that is at work. II
may be described by the sufferer as
creaking, cracking, buzzing, putting,
drumming, bubbling, mmbling, or bell
ringing. Sometimes the noises are so
faint that they are noticed only at night
or in absolute stiffness; in other cases
they are so loud that even the noise OF
railway train fails to drown them. In
chronic cases the head noises are usually
worse when the sufferer is worried, over
worked, or out OF health, and they seem
TO be increased by smoking, or living in
stuify rooms.
The most frequent cause OF tinnitus
Cfor that is the medical name Tor the at
fection) is ear disease. either acute or
chronic. II il is owing 10 an accumula-
ton OF wax in the ear, the noises viii
cease promptly when the wax is removed;
but il the noises come from disease OF
the middle ear, or OF the internal ear.
treatment is a much more difficult, matter.
II the physician can cure or ameliorate
the inflammation, the iinniius will be re-
leved at the same time, aud sometimes
he can do much 10 help II, even when the
ear disease itself is incurable. The vi
bratious made by "buzzer" held close

and the noises have been known 10 dis
appear after prolonged listening at the
telephone. But on The other hand, those
things have sometimes made bad mat
ter worse rather than better The SUI
ferer must not take the advice OF his SYM
pathizing friends, and put drops OF var
iouS kinds into the ear. They can sell
dom do any good, and may make The
condition more serious. The trouble
may come from so many different .eonG.
tions that only thorough examination,
by an experienced physician, can deter
mine the real cause and the proper treat
ment.

The Wilson Personality.

The President achieves and holds his
pre-eminence not by being domineering
or dictatorial. Quite the contrary. In
his manner he is one ofthe most deteren-
tial men that has ever been in the White
House. He is even meek, but his meek
ness is that of one OF those OF whom II
has been said that they shall inherit Inc
earth. He does not lose anything by II.
Many of those who come under it de-
clare that no despotism is harsher, no
tyranny so rigid as that exercised by a
college or university president over his
faculty. 1t would seem sometimes that
Mr.. Wilson had projected his experiences
as member OF college faculties and as a
university president into his present re-
lationshps with his Cabinet officers. SO
tar as is known, nobody in his Cabinet
found occasion 10 stand up against him or
TO combat him without making ultimate
surrender.
II is because OF these things, and be-
cause we cannot find any kinship through
the common human failingS, that there
has come into being the Washington
conception OF Mr.. Wilson as a thinking
machine and not as a warm- -blooded Fu-
man being with faults and follies. He is
always so everastingly right. SO Tar as
anyone knows he never loses his temper.
If he does he goes off and loses tprivate-
ly, finds it again and then comes back,
and everything is call hunky-dory."
The only ostentatious thing about Mr..
Wilson is his modesty. 1t is as con-
spicuous as red necktie with evening
clothes.

What An Inch OF Rain Means.

An inch ofrain strikes one as very little.
But it is really big rainfall.
When an inch Of rain has fallen it
means literally big rainfall.
When an inch ofrain has fallen it means,
literally, that the amount of water de-
scending from the sky in that particular
shower would cover the surrounding ter
ritory TO depth OF one inch, providing
of course, that if did not run away or soak
into the ground.
Itmeans that on one acre water enough
TO fill more than 600 barrels of forty-five
gallons each has fallen. This quantity
OF water weighs more than 10 tons. If
the rain storm covered a territory COM
prising thousand acres, which would
be very small shower, ll3,000 tons OF
water would tall from the clouds. Rain
storms frequently cover whole States,
and often four and five inches of water
fall in one rain. In this case the total
number OF tons Of water falling TO earth
is enormous.
