There is only one Way to cure dea.nesa, and that is by constitu tional remedies. l-ieafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be tasen out and this tube re. tored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition oi Ibe-mucous surfaces.

"Intoxicated, eh? muttered the court, absent-mindedly. "Yes, your honor," admitted the pris oner. "Are you married?" asked the magistrate. "No," was the reply. "Then what excuse do you have?" demanded the court, mechanically signing the commitment paper. A titter ran over the audience and the magistrate came to with a start, glancing apprehensively at the report ers. When court was adjourned, con trary to bis nsual custom, he called the newspaper men before him. "Do you find anything to write this morning?" he asked in a clearly appre hensive tone. "No," was the reply. The magistrate looked relieved, "That's good that Is I mean I thought there wasn't anything worth writing," he said. New York Sun.

The wooden boards that had marked the graves In a certain rural cemetery rotted off, and were raked up in the spring cleaning; consequently, on Me morial day, when the delegation from the G. A. R. arrived with flags and appropriate floral decorations for their departed comrades, the decorating com mittee found Itself somewhat In doubt as to which grave belonged to Captain Blodgett and which to Hannan Ericson The mistaken delegates heaped their offerings upon Hannah's last resting place, and departed. That afternoon Ericson, the widower, drifted, with the rest of his world, to the cemetery, When he saw the flag and the flowers above Hannah, the astonished Swede fell to chuckling Joyously.

Mr. Brown Learn Something- Aboat Their Hoaaehold TJaee. "Say, mother," said Letitla Brown, "we won't have any more satt bags; will we?" 'No more salt basr" said Mr. Brown to himself, having by chance overheard Letltla's remark. It took but little questioning to bring out In formation on these points, and Inci dentally there was elicited other bag Information, which, to Mr. Brown, was even more interesting. Salt bags, it seems, are, In many households, when empty, waAed out and used as dish cloths. But the Brown family has given up housekeep ing and gone to boarding; It retains its apartment, Just the same, but takes Its meals In a neighboring good board ing house. So naturally, they wouldn't be buying any more salt Then Mrs. Brown said that, any. how, they hadn't been using salt bags for some time, because lately, while salt Is still put up in bags, they had been buying salt put up In wooden or in pasteboard boxes. They'd been making their dish cloths lately, she said, out of sugar bags. Sugar, it appears, once never so put up, is now quite commonly sold In bags. Casually, Mrs. Brown mentioned an other use of salt bags that was new even to Letitla, who knew something about salt bags. Mrs. Brown said that once they had a servant who used to take the salt bags when they were emptied and open them out and wash the marks out of them, and then for economy's sake have them for hand kerchiefs for her little brother. And yet there remained the fact mildly bewailed by Letitla, that there would be "no more salt bags" for dish cloths. Here Mr. Brown wanted rn say to Letty, "Well, what of it? Not housekeeping any more, we shan't have any dishes to wash and we shan't want any dish cloths, salt bag or sugar nag." But he didn't say these things, for he didn't want to hurt Letltla's feelings by showing her how little she looked ahead, nor did he want to make her feel worse by showlne her hnw much more logical his mind. He said nothing, but Just kept these things to himself, 'but not without his usual mod est consciousness of superiority. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Mr. Mlllals tells how rabbits swfm when compelled to : "They swim with the head held as high as possible, while the hocks of the hind legs appear above he element at each stroke. The shoul ders and front part of the body are buried beneath the water, while the rump and tail are high and dry." Natural enemies vt the animal world are sometimes found llvlnn together In extraordinary communities. The same writer quotes this experience of an ob server: "On one occasion when ferret ing I bolted a fox, a cat, a stoat and several rabbits and rata out of the same earth. The fox bolted first, after giving the ferret a nip across the back, from the effects of which It died an hour later. Next came the stoat and then the cat, both of which I shot Then followed the rabbits and rats promis cuously. It was a large burrow on the bank of a deep dry watercourse, and often held a fox when I ferreted it afterward." Interesting figures on the relative agility of hares and rabbits are given in a recent volume by J. G. Millals. "When running at ease," he says, "tha length of the hare's stride is about four feet ; but under conditions of fear Its leaps extend to ten and twelve feet, while some authors claim that It can Jump ten ditches twenty to twenty-five feet In width. Perpendicularly a hare can Jump on to a five-fopt wall, but seems to be nonplused by one. of about six feet The stride of the rabbit is about two feet; when necessary It can make leaps of six or seven ,fet hori zontally. About three feet Is the high est that a rabbit can attain to even when helped by the asperities of a stone wall" Immaterial.

There arrived In London last even ing an aged man named Mark All who has been wandering for the last six years. Mark All Is an engineer by trade and he set out from Fleet street on Aug. 6, 1900, with the object of wait ing 130,000 miles In seven years. The Idea of the enterprise was to disprove a theory, which All attributes to engi neering employers, that after a man has reached 45 years of age he la use less for manual labor. Some gentlemen who were desirous of disproving this theory agreed to pay All 500 If he could walk 60,000 miles in seven years, earning his liv ing at his trade, and that he shall not beg, sell photographs of himself or pictures post cards, make speeches or exhibit himself at music halls. All these conditions, be Bays, he has faith fully observed. He has been all over the three kingdoms and has visited France, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, Italy and Germany, but failed to get into Russia. His record now Is 58.006 miles. He proposes to take a week's rest In London, then walk to New Haven and cross to Dieppe, where he will resume his pedestrian exercises through France. Throughout his travels Mark All wears the union Jack on his right arm. London Chronicle. laTltlaa-.

MaMisi P wrw " " " CONTAGIOUS M001 POISON NO LIMIT TO ITS .POWERS TOR EVIL Contagious Blood Poison has brought more suffering1, misery and humila tion into the world than all other diseases combined ; there 13 hardly any limit to its powers for evil. It is the blackest and vilest of all disorders, wrecking the lives of those unfortunate enough to contract it and often being transmitted to innocent offspring, a blighting legacy of suffering and shame.' 3o highly contagious is the trouble that innocent persons may contract it by using the same table ware, toilet articles or clothing of one in whose blood the treacherous virus has taken root. Not only is it a powerful poison but a very deceptive one. Only those who have learned by bitter experience know by the little sore or ulcer, which usually makes its appearance first, of the suffering which is to follow. It comes in the form of ulcerated mouth and throat, unsightly copper colored spots, swollen glands in the groin, falling hair, offensive sores and ulcers on the body, and in severe cases the finger nails drop off, the bones become diseased, the nervous 6ystem is shat tered and the sufferer becomes an object of pity to his fellow man. Especi ally is the treacherous nature of Contagious Blood Poison, shown when the infected person endeavors to combat the poison with mercury and potash. These minerals will drive away all outward symptoms of the troubles for a while, and the victim is deceived into the belief that he is cured. When, however, the treatment is left off hend3that the poison ha9 only been driven deeper into the blood and the disease reappears, and usually in worse form because these strong minerals have not Only failed to remove the virus from the blood but have weakened the entire system because of their destructive action.
