July %. 1S13.-Recent approaches OF
the British Fleet to the City of Wash
ington, by sailing both up the Patuxent
River and up the Potomac River,
threatening attacks upon the Federal
City. have resulted at last, and for the
nrst time, in attempts being made by
the city and Federal authorities to pro-
vide defenSes for the city, in addition
10 Fort Washington. which Is some dis
lance below, on the Potomac River.
Accounts published this week III the
local press give some idea of what has
been done and what is planned along
this line. At Greenleaf Point, which is
the extreme southern tip of the city,
the construction of earthworks has been
started, so that battery of heavy guns
may be mounted at this point, COM
handing the approach to the city from
the lower Potomac Furnaces have been
built to supply the guns with red-hot
balls. Similar earthwork have been
built near the Navy Yard, to guard the
approaches across the Eastern Branch
of the Potomac.
However, Federal military authorities
continue to criticize the fact that the
troops available here to guard the city
are not given sufficient consecutive
training in the field. They march out
whenever there is rumor. of the APP
proach of the British Fleet, and when
the scare" is over, they march back
again, and either return to their camps
in this city, or, in case of the militia,
to their homes.
Within a week after the recent
threatening appearance of the British
Fleet in the lower Potomac River, below
Washington, this Summer, the Ameri-
can troops, which had been sent to
take up position in the vicinity OF
Fort Washington, had marched back to
the city again, where their conduct was
highly commended" by the command
ing general of the militia.
In any event, the citizens of Wash
ington have been freed for the time be-
ing from the apprehension of visit
from the British, whose course through
out the region of the Chesapeake Bay
has aroused the wrath of Americans
here and throughout the Nation. They
have frequently sent parties ashore,
taken provisions, and set fire to houses
and barns
Few persons of military experience,
however believe that the British have
abandoned their notion of attacking
Washington.

Time.

No matter how long you live you
ony have a certain ammount of time to
waist, so the ferst best thing is to get
up erly in the morning and the next
best thing is not to change your mind
and go back to bed again.
Every hour has so minnits, but if you
waist too much time feeling glad about
II, the ferst thing you know there will
ony be 80 left, and when you realize
1t YOU will be so serprized that it will
proberly take you IS minnits more to
get over it, and by that time you'll feel
you mite as well wait and start bran
new hour.
This proves If you have anything to
do you better go rite ahed and do it
no matter what time 1t Is.
Some people are always looking at
their watch, whatever elts they are do
ing as if they are afraid they are go
ing to be late for the next thing they
wunt to do, while others never know
what time it is, wherever they are, be-
ing q comfortable feeling for them but
not for you in case you happen to be
waiting for them somewheres eltS.
Sometimes half second is more
valuble than a whole hour some other
time, for instants when you are blow
ing out a match just before the fame
gets all a ways down to your fingers.
On the other hand sometimes a
whole week goes pass without making
any diffrents, such as when you are
somebody's baby sleeping between all
your meelS.

Gals bind for permanent records 342.
It Is largely due to the bound volumes
of newspapers that the need for addi-
tional quarters has been requested of
Congress. Last year these bound vol
umes served more than 10000 persons,
including university students from OK
ford, in England, to California, on our
Western shore
At present there are more than 10000
bound volumes Of newspapers in the
Library.
At the beginning of this year there
were around 100000 books on the
shelves. These, together with maps,
views, music, prints and other pieces,
make a total of 6,665,019 articles. Acc
ceSSions last year amounted to 267, 068.
The Library of Congress now ranks
as one of the "big three in the world
The others are the British Museum
and the Bibliotheque Rationale in Paris.
The Library is growing so fast that
new space must be provided for it.
Congress now has before it the ques-
ton of providing an annex that will
cost $6,5O0,00O.
The land east of the present struc-
ture, extending for block and half,
has been selected. Work will start as
soon as the technical phases of con-
domination have been cleared up.
All of the mechanical work and the
storage facilities will be centered in the
new building, so that the library proper
may be wholly utilized for the purposes
to which 1t is best adapted.

stirr,ip the tiny bones of the hearing
apparatus has no greater capacity
than large cavity in q molar tooth.
The space Is lined with the same mu-
cous membrane as that which lines the
eustachian tube and the nose-throat
cavity. 1t is In this lining membrane
that infection or inflammation extends
from the nose or throat along the eu-
stachian canal (perhaps u inch longl
into the middle ear. We doctors call
this cavity middle" ear to distinguish 1t
from the ear canal outside of the ear
drum and from the nerve terminal, or
receiver apparatus, of the ear that lies
more deeply inbedded in the skull bone
close to the brain.
The middle ear space communicates
with other air spaces in the interior OF
the slightly bullying bone just back OF
the ear, and that bone Is the mastoid
process of the temporal bone. The air
spaces In the mastoid are called cells.
They are not present in the bone at
birth, but develop in infancy and at
tain their full size at the age of puberty.
These mastoid cells are usually in
volved more or less in any infiamma-
ton or suppuration opus formation) Of
the middle ear, though we do not dag
nose ''mastoiditis" unless the compile
cation becomes the main part OF the
illness.
In any discharge from the ear which
is very profuse-more than small pea

1t Is a fair Surmise that the pus Is COM
ing from the mastoid cells.
The roof of some of these maStoid
cells is a paper-thin plate of bone, and
In certain cases of severe Hastoiditis
the Inflammation and suppuration
erodes, or softens, this partition and
breaks through into the brain or its
membranes.
Here are some suggestions which may
be of use:
/. In my Judgment the best treatment
for an acute earache is a hot mustard
foot bath, administered to the patient
In bed.
2. Never plug the ear with cotton
where there is ear discharge. It Is
much better to permit the air to venti-
late the ear.
3. Very profuse running from the ear
means mastoiditis.
4. Surgical Intervention is necessary
and advisable in only small portion
Of cases of mastoiditis.
5. Malodorous ear discharge usually
means bone necrosis and calls for care
full medical attention.
6. In the absence of personal medical
care, these drops may be used for run
ming ear: Boric acid, 10 grains; alcohol,
ounce.
Warm the solution by standing the
vial in hot water for q few minutes be-
fore using. One or two drops in the
ear night and morning for period OF
several months.
z. Many persons with chronic run
ming ear obtain much beneflt from q
suitable cod liver oil ration.
g. Exposure of the naked skin to sun
light or to the ultraviolet radiation Of
suitable lamp helps to prevent and

ed and Ministries began to play. Liquor
was brought and drunk.
Have you seen aught Of the King Of
France?" asked the prince Of two of
his marshals.
mo, sir, not for certainty" they
replied, but we believe him either dead
or prisoner. for he did not once quit
his battalion"
go look for him." commanded the
prince.
The marshals set out and at once
came upon King John.
The French monarch was now in
great danger. The English and Gas
cons had taken him from de Morbeque
and were yelling and disputing over his
possession.
Squirting their horses, the marshals
charged the crowd and rescued John.
That night the Black Prince gave a
great dinner and himself served the
French Kings table in great humility.
When john entreated that his cousin
sit beside him. the Englishman replied:
''Nay, sire, am noteworthy of such
an honor. It doth not appertain to
me to seat myself at the table of so
great q king, or of so valiant man
as you have shown yourself this day.
For, sire, you have surpassed all the
best knights on your side"

If all his mobiles and men had been
as brave and determined as King John
the Good, France might not have lost
the battle of Poitiers to the famous
Black Prince of England and have been
compelled to turn over third OF her
territory to Edward III.
Many gallant deeds of honor were
performed that September morning in
1856, but none surpassed those of John,
who, armed with a battleax, defended
himself nobly. His knights fell all
about him, but still he fought on.
Eager to win the honor of having
captured him, those of the enemy who
knew him, and they were many, cried
to him: Surrender yourself, surrender
yourself, or you are a dead man"
Brave as he was, John the Good had
no mind to die. Anyway, it would do
no good for the day was lost. But how
was he to save himself? If he gave
himself up, his enemies were likely to
pull him to pieces quarreling over pos
session.
Now, it CHANGED that in the service
of the English King was a young
French knight, Denys de Morbeque, who
had been banished from his native
Artois for a murder committed during
an ARRAY at st. Omer. Sir Denys was
tremendously strong, and he succeeded
in pushing his way through the melee
until he came up to the French King.
He said to John in good French, Sire,
sire, surrender yourself"
"To whom?" said John. still fighting.
''Where is my cousin, the Prince of
Wales?" he added eff could see him
I would speak with him."
Surrender yourself to me-" said Sir
Denys, land I will lead you to him."
"And who are you?"
Sir Denys explained. The King gave
him his right-hand glove, saying, "Bion,
I surrender myself to you"
Pushed about and squeezed by the
crowd, they set out in search of the
Black Prince.
The Englishman, meantime, having
planted his banner upon a high bush,
was contemplating his victory from a
small pavilion of crimson, pitched
nearby. TrumpetS and clarions sound

and correct.
Americans often serve large peaches
halved without being peeled. Each half
may be filled with a spoonful of pow
dered sugar, or the sugar may be in a
wee mound between the halves on a
plate. Sometimes the sugar Is passed
for persons to help themselves. When
peaches are very sweet, this Is good
idea, as the sugar may not be wanted.
It would merely be wasted, If served
with the fruit.
Most Americans like their sliced
peaches In rather large sections. In
Canada. more particularly, the peaches
are apt to be cut in very thin slices.
When cream is not served with peaches,
few squeezes of lemon are occasionally
added to give zest, or to bring out
the flavor, as this is said to do. If the
lemon Is added the peaches should be
lightly sugared, the sugar being sprin-
killed. through them as they are cut into
