Until witbin tho last five years it was not
strange or uncommon for buffalo cows and
calves to be found herded with the wild
cattlu of tho ranges, and the spring round uj>s
always reported more or less sport for the
daring and reckless “cow punchers” with
buffalo calves. Western men have at last,
however, begun to realize, with more than a
little regret, that the larg? droves of buffaloes
roaming nt will over the track les« plains of
the territories formed sights that are forever
to i»e lost, and to realize also that the shame­
ful slaughter <»f these picturesque brutes has
I m ' cii a waste of gold. The fact that the do
mesticatvd l»uffrf!oan<i the cross breeds are
both very valuable and easily herded is just
now giving a new zest to the s | m » i t of buffalo
hunting, and the dangers Of the chase are in-
creas»tl tenfold by the fact that the object
now is not to kill, but to capture.
To make prixouvrs of the young or to bring
upon one’s self the tierce avenging fury of a
buffalo cow. by throwing a rope over her
calf, requires the utmost self pf*sse«sion as
well as that iwcuhar daredevil familiarity
with sihldlu and horse which are found so
fully dvvelopK*d in the range riders of the
western plamx Tho hunt is profitless if the
calves are injuitsl. and the preparations fur
the rare of the captives are not only minute,
but necessarily’ expensive
i)omestic rows
are provided as wet nurses, and a constant
watchfulness is observed over these coinpul
sory foster mothers until they have overcome
a not unnatural repugnance to their new
chargi»«. The calves, however, when captured
and placet! m a corral with their nurses, dis­
play no excessive modesty in foraging for
milk, and their inij>etuous raids upon the new
commissary are extremely amusing.
An important element in the buffalo hunt
ing of today is ths fact that the females give
birth to their young very early in the spring,
und tho hunt must l»e acci>mplishe»i before the
tieginning of tho spring round up of cattle,
or the calves tiecome too strong to capture

assumed that a discussion of the subject will
be of mt«*rest
Anatomists have «lividcd the rar into three
parts. A description of two is comparatively
easy, hut of the other is toodifilcult to under­
take. The drum of the ear is the dividing
line between the oxternal and the so called
middle ear The drum lies aixjut an inch ami
a quarter within the passage U« yoml the
drum is the actual h«‘armg apparatus. The
outermost {»art of theextrrnai ear is, asevery
one of coursr knows, trumjx't sha|wsl, so as
to receive and collect sounds from all quar­
ters. The middle «‘ar, lying back of the drum,

chian tul»c H» nee it will l»e seen that but
for the drum of the ear there would 1«» one
continuous passage from the out« r ear to the
throat I’.it i -nt» who have suffered fx*rfora-
tion of the drum w ill very readily appreciate
this fact, lor in blowing the iio«u the air
escapes through the ear with a whistling
sound. The Eustachian tulx» plays several
important |»art.». Were it not for that the
drum, owing to the absence of air on one side,
woubl n»>t vilirate, and tho hearing |x»wor,
while not m»ce»>anly w holly destroyed, would
be very much unpaii ••*!. This general idea
of the ear is «1 out the tx.»st one can acquire
without considerable study and the ai«l of
charts. At any rate it is quite sufficient for
the piir|Misc *»f this discussion.
Although the drum of the ear lies an inch
and a quart»*r within tho passage, it is very
often injured, ami, in fact, destroyed by tho
wanton carelessness in picking the » it - Au

The lining of the ear ¡Missage i> «p.iite seitsi-
tive to irri’ation. It requii*es but very little
rubbing oi scratching to inflame if, and even
if that irritation l»e limited to llieouterm«
juirt <»t th*» passage, as it is where «»uly t
finger is used, there is a decided tendency t
the trouble caused to extend up to ami in­
volve tho drum. Many people must hav
noticed that after eveu gently picking th
ear there soon was felt an uncoinfortabl
sense of fullness d»?ep w ithin. giving evideuce
of an exbmsiun of the irritation. Picking
the ear, even if limited to the outer part <4
it, also gives riae to small abxvsst-s, which
many can totifv are exceedingly painful
and slow to disixpfwar.
There is naturally al wavs a small amount
of wax in the ears. People generally’ think
that they should remove that from time to
time, and f*»r tho putgiose a variety of ear
spoothave been constructed. It is true that
there are occasional cases where the wax ac­
cumulates to such an extent it threatens to
fill up the passage. But that condition of
things is scarcely ever uoted in a healthy ear.
Nature has made such provisions that tho
wax is properly disp<»sed of if it is not med­
dled with. The glands which secrete it are
on tho upper wall of the passage, which I.:.
just sufficient “pitch” to let it roll out. If
one knows this fact ho nee<l not try to aid
nature in removing the wax, for in doing &u
he will most probably defeat her plans by
pushing it far within, where the floor of the
caual slopes in tho opposite direction. That
done, the wax is liable to remain there until
picked out or in some other way removed. It
is generally tho nile that where one is care­
ful to keep the ear free of wax, its secretion
is very greatly iucrease»! in cousequenco of

A Penny in th. Slot.
A correspondent of The New Orleans Modi
cal and Surgical Reporter says that petro­
leum oil is almost universally used by the
artisan and poorer classes in London as an
illuminant, and the number of accidents
which occur yearly with these lamps is very
large. Sir R. IV Brownhill has invented an
ingenious prepaying gas meter based on the
principle of the cigar, cofTeo and other auto­
matic supply stands to be seen tn every rail­
way station in London. It consists of a small
attachment, which can be applied to any
meter, and which will cause the gas to be de­
livered in definite quantities as paid for by
pence dropped into a box. All that has to be
done is to drop a [wnny and pull a small
bandlo, when suflicient gas for the supply of
an ordinary burner for six bours will be de­
livered from the meter. Any number of
pennies may be placed in the box, one at a
time, up to 143, the handle being palled after
each penny, which would insure 658 hours’
gas to one burner, or a shorter supply to
several. —Sc ience.

DANGEROUS PRACTICES.
After what has been said it will be seen
that all interference with the outer passage
of th© ear is fraught with danger, ami even
in using the towel after bathmg tho face, tho ;
parts about the car should be touched with
great gentleness. And her© it is well to say
that many people incautiously make them­
selves deaf by using a towel or handkerchief,
rolled in the shape of a wedge, to wipe out the
ear. An occasional itching of tho ear is al­
most always overcome by rubbing near th©
passage just in front of the ear. Where the
itching is quite constant, a disease«! condition
of the lining of the passage w ill be found,
ami to effect a cure the services of a physician
will be needed. The itching may bo tempo­
rarily relieved with warm, weak saleiatus
water, dropped into the passage.
It is a common practice in such cast's and
many others to drop into the ear sweet oil or
glycerine Their use can scarcely ever be
justified, ami certainly in soma conditions ot
the ear it is absolutely forbidden us harmful.
Not only is itching when severe an evidence
of trouble w ithin the ear, but all such sensa­
tions, as of fullneoB. of burning or of pain, also
Indicate that there is some disease going on
therein, und, of course, a physician should be
consulted. For these symptoms and for some I
I
others the syringe is frequently brought into
service. V’ery generally that instrument is a
small glast affair w hich is well nigh valueless
for tli© purpose to which it is put To syringe
out the ear» is a very nice operation, andon©
cau scarcely do it properly without being in­
structed by a physician.
Where there is Kny deposit in the ear, as of
hardened wax, etc., h considerable quantity
of water must be thrown into it in order to
do any good. Again, th© stream must bo
properly directed or more harm than good
will result, instead of being dislodged and
washed out, the offeuding substance to be re­
moved will be driven farther in and become
packed against the drum. Then there ar©
other things to be considered in this comg»
tlun. In using a syringe, if a stream of water
is thrown against the drum with too great a
force, injury is sure to result In that way
it is possible to rupture the drum, but if that
is not done inflammation will very likely be
the consequence. Again, water too hot or
too cold may set up an inflammation. Tbere-
I fore, all things considered, the rule is fixed
that syringing the ear should never be done
unless a physician has advised it and given
ample instructions as to all its details.—Bos­
