Deafness Cannot be Cared
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
' There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
' Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect bearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and nnless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, bearing will be destroyed forever;
- nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in

INDIANS AT THE BATH.
Bed Men Who ' TJse Steam and
Enjoy a Cold Plunge.
Explosion of the Theory That All Indians
Art Dirty and Abhor Water Colombia
Hirer Tribes Have the Turkish. Sys
tem in a Primitive Way.
Indians do wash. That is some of
them do. It is a curious fact that the
Columbia river -Indians believe as
thoroughly in the efficacy of the hot
air bath and the sudden immersion of
the body afterward in cold water as
the Turks or the most advanced believ
ers in the Russian and Turkish baths
do. To the man who knows only the
ill-smelling, ill-conditioned -Digger,
Apache or Piute this will come as a
revelation.
The Columbia river Indian, says the
Chicago Tribune, is a clean individual.
He may not have the toilet articles and
clean linen of civilization, but his pores
are open, his skin is clear and free from
spot or blemish, and he is generally a
healthy person. His; step is light, his
head erect, his eye clear, and form
wiry, and he probably owes it as much
to his hot baths as to the delightful
climate in which he lives. These baths
the Umatilla, the Wenatchee, Yakima
and all the other tribes of the Colum
bia basin have used always, or- so far
back in the past that not even the faint
est traditions of the tribes tell of their
commencement. Theyv take them reg
ularly, once or twice weekly, and-always
prescribe and use thorn, for sick
ness, although their ignorance, of the
various diseases, and their practice of
always taking the "bath" as a cure for
any disease with which they may be
attacked has caused many serious and
fatal mistakes in the past by which
scores of lives have been lost. Repeat
ed fatalities, however, teach them no
lessons. It maybe rheumatism or it
may be smallpox; it makes no differ
ence to them. .
. The "bath," or, as the few white set
tlers on the river call it,' "Injun 6weat
house," is simply a hole three feet in
diameter and eight feet long; dug hori
zontally in the sloping bank " of the
river. It is usual to dig them from
thirty-five to forty feet above low
water, as the river generally risos dur
ing June and July from thirty to forty
feet, and although high water lasts but
ten days to three weeks, yet there would
be little left of the "bath" if the flood
had a chance at it. The bottom, or
floor, is lined with smooth flat stones,
and the walls are hardened as much as
possible by the builder lying on his
back on the bottom and pounding tiem
with a rock resembling a pestta. After
a few baths the walls become as well
baked and as hard as brick, and will
not only retain the heat for hours, but
will stand a wonderful amount of pres
sure arid weight from above.
The method of taking a bath is as
simple as the "bath" itself. Filling the
hole with dry wood it is set afire and
in a few minutes is burning fiercely.
When the wood has burned out the em
bers are raked from the hole and the
bath is ready. Divesting himself of all
his clothing the Indian takes an old
blanket and, saturating -it thoroughly
in the river, spreads it out on the stones
of the hole and crawls in feet first.
The instant the wet -blanket touches
the hot stone the hole is filled with
steam in which the bather disappears.
For several minutes nothing is visible
but clouds of steam pouring out of the
hole; but after a time that clears away,
and within, yet close to the entrance,
can be seen the steaming face of the
"bath's" occupant. As the hole cools
off the Indian crawls farther in, and so
the ma jority of the "bucks" remain in
all night. Before morning they are
well back to the extreme end of the ex
cavation. To witness a "buck" emerge from
his bath in the morning one would
think it the last effort of a dying man.
Too weak to walk or even stand and
hardly able to crawl, he manages to
slowly drag his body f rom- the hole to
the bank, down which he creeps or
rolls to -.the water's edge. Then the
transformation takes place. If he is
able to stand he will wade in until the
water is' up to his knees, when in he
rolls or plunges. In an instant he is
up again, wildly waving his arms and
beating his chest, and then .he plunges
in again, repeatedly, until ' he has di&i
appeared several times under the icy
water, for the Columbia river is ice
cold, winter or summer, receiving its
supply in the summer from the snow
clad peaks of its headwaters.
. With a bound the "buck" is out on
the bank, a new man; like a wildcat he
springs up the hillside to the "bath,'?
reaches in and picking up his blanket
wraps it around him and with step as
light and form as erect as an athlete in
training, hurries away to his tepee for
breakfast. ' t
The taking of his bath is' part of his
training, and almost of his religion.
From early youth he 5s accustomed to
it, and he practices it to his old age.
Winter or summer, whether it be hot
or cold, he takes it. While the squaws
do not indulge as frequently or remain
in as long as the "bucks," they are re
quired by the customs of their people
to regularly go to the bathhouse and
receive its benefits. They usually do
not remain in longer than half an hour,
or, perhaps, an hour at the longest,
and are not required to take the
plunge afterward, usually contenting
themselves with dipping their blankets
in the water and then passing it over
their bodies until they become suffi
ciently cool to walk up to the tepee to
sleep or eat.

A GOTHAM KOMANCE.
The Traffic Story of New York's
Society Library.
Bow the Transference of a Toung Girl's
Ijove Resulted in a Duel and Two
Sad Deaths A Strange
Meeting. :
There is an odd little story connected
with the New York society library,
which, as related by the Mail and Ex
press, is fully as interesting as the per
sonality 'of its patrons. The charter of
the institution was granted in 1772 by
George III., and in those days it was a
place of resort by the fashionable peo
ple of the town. Some time after the
war had ended a young Englishman
who had been an officer in the British
army and attached to Gen. Howe's
staff visited the library to while away
an idle hour. He became absorbed in
his book and 'did not notice that he
was being closely watched by a man
who sat near him. When he arose to
jo he was followed to the door "and
tapped on the shoulder.
"Pardon me," said the stranger, "but
were you not a soldier in his majesty's
army some years ago, and were you not
engaged in a hand-to-hand encounter
with an American whom you left for
dead on the field of honor?" .
"I remember the circumstance per
fectly," was the reply. "What do you
know of it?"
"I am the man with whom you fought,
and I have to thank- you for this,"
pointing to an empty sleeve.
"One of ius had to suffer," was the
reply.
"I am aware of that," answered the
other, "and- I can forgive it, but I can
not forgive or forget that you took
from me something more precious than
my arm. You robbed me of my af
fianced wife." '
The story may be briefly told. The
American was engaged to be married
to a beautiful girl, the daughter of one
of New York's most prosperous mer
chants. Ske was good and true and
the day for the marriage had been set.
One day her lover quarreled with the
Englishman in a place of public resort.
ThS men were strangers to each other.
A challenge followed and it was agreed
to meet the next morning at daybreak
on the Jersey shore and fight with
rapiers. The American went home to
arrange his affairs and in the evening
called on his intended bride. ' His un
usual seriousness aroused her fears and
she begged to know- the cause. The
young man, after much entreaty, told
what he was to do on the morrow. - The
young woman swooned, and when she
recovered found that her lover, -fearing
that he - might be dissuaded,
had left her. She at once dispatched
a worthy servant to visit the various
public houses for there weren't many
of them and learn, if possible, the
place of rendezvous. The quest was
successful, and at seven the next morn
ing, after a -sleepless night, the girl
was at the meeting place, but too late
to interfere. The duel had already
taiien place, ana ner lover lay
wounded nigh unto death. He was
taken home and nursed back to life
and strength. Some months later the
young woman met the Englishman at
a social gathering. She did not know
him, nor did he know her. The yctang
mnnUTilncmUiT in In luce'
than a month the maiden's heart had
changed, and her affections were
transferred. When she gave up her
engagement ring and told - the old
lover the name - of . the new one, he
shocked her by the statement that the
Englishman was the man who had so
nearly killed him. There was a great
revulsion of feeling. The girl became
ill, brain fever ensued, and she died.
This was what the American referred
to when he met the Englishman in the
old library building. In his excitement
he carried a book which he had picked
up unwittingly with him, and, over
come by the remembrance of his
wrongs, dashed it into the face of the
enemy, 'The asssult was so sudden
that the - Englishman -lost his balance
and fell. His head struck the wall
and he became xmeonseious. ' The con
stables . came and took him away.
When the attendants rushed out to see
what was the matter they picked up a
book. One of them looked at the'title
page and saw that it was called "The
Fate of the Inconstant," and its author,
whose name' was not unknown, ' was
the mother of the girl who jilted the
American. The English officer was so
seriously injured by the fall that his
mind became impaired, and he died
some years after in private retreat for
the insane. . r"" - ""C"
The Time Ideas. ' , '
The staple drink of our English an
cestors before the introduction of tea
and-coffee was beer or ale. Tea was first
drunk in England in 1610, and coffee
was introduced ' there in 1652. . Choco
late ' preceded these drinks by a few
years, but was soon displaced by them.
Among -the few vegetables then in use
were artichokes, which were made into
pics. A superstition . prevailed that
vegetables produced extraordinary ef
fects. Water cress was believed to
restore the bloom -to young ladies'
cheeks. Green ginger .was good for
the memory and a conserve of roses
was a capital posset at bedtime. Ac1
cording to Varmex a conserve of rose
mary and sage is very beneficial to
students, as it "doth greatly delight
the braid." All our common vegeta
bles were at first regarded as medicine
rather than foods. This idea has not
entirely disappeared, for it is consid
ered a valuable quality in a medicine
to be purely vegetable. - -
Good as a Fairy Tale.
In ' Berlin, at the house of a cele
brated physician, Geheimer Sanitats
rafh, the twenty-fifth anniversary of
the entrance into his service of a girl
named Anguste Prill, was lately cele
brated in the most brilliant manner.
All the members, of the family, many
of whom live at a great distance from
Berlin,' assembled fo do the -faithful
servant honor, and he was loaded with
beautiful gifts.

"One form of amusement that chil
dren have now that they didn't -use to
have when I was a boy," (.aid Sir.
Bozzle, "is the fun of busting the bag.
Nowadays many things come from the
grocer and elsewhere hi paper bags;
and 'let me bust the-bag' is a iaiuiliar
household -request. The- young-stcr
takes the empty bag- and with his thumb
and forefinger around the open end of
it he forms" a neck with an opening
through which he may inflate it. Then
with a sudden whack he brings the
bag down upon the other hand and
explodes it -with a report whose loud
ness is determined by the size of the
bag, the fullness of its inflation, the
tightness of the grip . around its
closed neck, and the force of the blow.
The modern small boy ought to be
grateful for this continuous domestic
Fourth of July, one of many priv
ileges that he enjoys that were quite
unknown to his fathers."
. A German Joke.
The following-fraud upon an insur
ance company, which we find in .the
Deutsche Tabak-Zeitung, is certainly
just a little too good to be true: ."A
cunning fellow, who wanted to smoke
the best cigars at the cheapest possible
cost, bought one thousand cigars of
the highest quality arid corresponding
price, and immediately insured the
whole stock. - When he . had smoked
the last of them, he demanded seven
hundred and fifty marks from the in
surance company on the ground that
the- whole of his insured stock, ten
boxes of cigars, had been "consumed by
fire! The . Solomonic court decided in
favor of the plaintiff. The company
then brought an action of conspiracy
against the smoker, accusing him of
having intentionally put fire to his
own cigars and deliberately destroyed
his property. Hereupon the same wise
court condemned the insured smoker
to three months' imprisonment." '
