CARE OF CHILDREN'S EARS.

In her anxiety that her children's ears shall be thoroughly clean, the mother endeavors to remove every particle of earwax from the inner portion of the ear by boring it out with a hairpin or other sharp instrument covered with a towel, or with the corner of a towel twisted to a point. Nature knows how to take care of those hidden recesses far better than does the most accomplished mother. This portion of the ear requires no attention. Nature takes care of it in the most admirable manner.

Nothing more irritating than a few drops of olive oil warmed to a temperature a little above blood heat should ever be placed in the ear.—Exchange.
