The first point In 1he treatment of

cause of the tnfliitiintion. Should there
be a collection of wax In the ear It
should be softened by drop or two of

The Inflammation may then be direct

either wet or dry, over the orlllce of
the ear. If the pain Is very severe,
what Is known as a laudanum fomenta

wringing a Annuel out of boiling water
mid turning a Utile laudanum over the

sgnlnat hope that there might have been
some mistake in the dispatches end soma

wss their disappointment in the face of In
evitable sssnrauce that there was no hope
was shown In tholr bitter lamentations.
On the upper deck of tbe summer wers s

The vessel lost steerage way nnd swung
shoreward In the teeth of a furlout southeast

The steamer lay helplessly on her side foi
about 15 minutes nnd then tipped over nul

more stable by a peculiar device. In

hangs from one end, nnd to the other

If the pagoda be very lofty slill more
