Nothing is more common in a case of earache,than for a well-meaning relative to rush for the syringe and subject the victim to what may happen to be the very worst treatment in the world. If no one does that, some one is almost sure to try dropping oil into the ear. Now, nothing whatever should be put into the ear itself without medical advice. A doctor has the instruments with which.. to make an examination, and he is the onlysafe judge as to the proper treatment. In many cases of acute inflammation he will have to puncture the drum before relief can be obtainedr In the meantime.agreat deal can be done toward giving relief by the constant application of heat in the form of a hot-water bag, or a soft bag filled with hot salt.

PROVINCIAL TRUST COMPANY, Trust &` Loan Bldg., Montreal. THE PATRICIANS OF AUSTRIA. Unchangeable Point of View of The Aristocrats. We read in Chambers's Journal that many powerful persons in Austrian society wish that the rigid rules of court etiquette could be modified; but the number in favor of reforms is not sufficiently large to bring about •a change in the usage of centuries. The nobility usually marry those of their own rank, with the result that nearly all the families of the aristoc- racy are related. Princess Karl, whose mother and father, together, had fifteen brothers and nine sisters, told the writer that at the last court ball there were more than a hundred of her first cousins, and that one win- ter at Abbazia she had not spoken during a whole week of balls and par- ties to anyone who was not connected either directly or remotely with her own or Prince Karl's family. It was thought that the barriers of caste would be broken down if the Archduke Franz Ferdinand should succeed his uncle, the Emperor; for if his morganatic wife, Countess Chotek (created Duchess of Hohenberg by the Emperor), became empress, de- spite his solemn oath to the contrary, the present rules, as to birth could hardly be enforced. If they were so relaxed as to permit a lady not of royaf birth to become Empress of Austria, they would be relaxed for all those who now suffer exclusion from court for lack of princely blood. Prin- cess Karl, although she is very broad- minded, could admit no variation of this rule. "In Austria," she said, "it is what you are born that counts, not what you become." When I ventured to point out that this sentiment belonged to the Middle Ages, says the writer, her reply show- ed me the unchangeable point of view of the Austrian aristocrats. It is not mere vulgar glorying in pride of birth;; it is the aceeptaneeof ".aTact that, to them is as necessary;, and as natural as the coming of "night and day.- ""I was born Durehlaucht" (that is, Serene Highness) ; "I have married a Durchlaucht; my children are Durchlauchts. How can I possibly recognize Countess Chotek as em- press ? Durchlauchts do not make obeisance i to countesses, no matter whom they may marry. Countesses cannot be made empresses in Aus- tria." "But they can be made queeps in Hungary," I ventured, "and the arch- duke would be King of Hungary as well as Emperor of Austria." "It is different in Hungary," the princess replied quickly. "The wife of the King b£ Hungary is his queen, even if she were a beggar girl." "Then if the Duchess of Hohen- berg had been Queen of Hungary, you would have made obeisance to her as queen?" "Certainly," was the immediate an- swer. "Then why not as empress ?" I ask- , ed her. "In 'Hungary the Countese Chotek would be queen. It is only in Hun- gary theta would make. obeisance to • her. In Austria she could never be anything save theCountessChotek, because she was beam Countess Cho- tek. One does not make abeisance to countesses, even if they marry arch- dukes who become emperors," she re- peated, The murder at Sarajevo made it im- possible to put this question to the test, but the Princess Karl gave the point of view of the Austrian nobility in a nutshell. Birds have an extra eyelid, which can be drawn over the eyeball to pro- tect it from the strong sun, while the proper eyelid remains open, enabling theta to see.
