' By local applications, as they cannot

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con

inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi

HOME OF THE CUCKOO CLOCK.
The Little Town or ViU2ngen. Lonted in
tbs Slack Forest of Uormu;.
Villingen is one of the centers for
the Black Forest clock industry. The
making of clocks in the Schwarzwald
dates from a very old time, and tho in
dustry has here attained some forms
which are to be found nowhere else,
says the Philadelphia Telegraph. ' It
is, perhaps, the most distinctive of all
the skilled trades of these clever peo
ple. The inhabitants of the hills, from
the earliest time, in distinction from
the residents of the valleys, who pre
ferred to farm, have 'shown a love for
woodwork, and centuries ago trained
their hands to cut out various clever
untensils. Their skill in this line took
the form of clockmakinjr about 1080 or
90. There were . very rudimentary
ideas afloat concerning what constitu
ted a clock in those days. At first a
weight was used hung- from a string.
Later the pendulum was introduced.
Then came the striking one-day clocks.
Again, a little later, the eight-day
clocks. By their own discoveries and
by the adoption of the inventions of
foreigners these people have thus
steadily kept themselves in the front
rank among the clock manufacturers
of the world. This section particularly
excels in making automatic clocks, and
clocks combined with musical boxes
and other novelties. The principal
thing in this line, however, is, the
cuckoo clock (in Garman kukuk). The
first cuckoo clock was put together
about one hundred and fifty years ago
by an inventive old Schwarzwaldcr.and
the popularity of his clover mechanical
device continues without, abatement.
The cuckoo is put up in every kind
of a clock case and with every kind of
good, bad and indifferent time-keeping
machinery. He may be had, works and
all, for one dollar, and so on np. ac
cording to the quality of his song and
other characteristics. His special pe
culiar", of course, is his regularity,
and this is what got him into trouble
in the United States. He has a small
cage up at the top of the clock.and when
ever the time comes for him to go
through his exhibition his door flies
open, he steps out in front, bows and
flaps his wings and sings his little song.
He has been criticised for his limited
repertory. Nature did this, and no
bird can improve on nature. The pe
culiar sound, is made . by tne use of a
sort of double bellows, through which
the wind is forced at the propel inter
vals. If it is a good clock the mimicry
is perfect. It is an invention which
could have been made only here, in the
land of the cuckoo. At this time of
the year the bird can be heard see
sawing away in every copse of. woods.
He has points of difference from the
American cuckoo. He does not lay his
egg in other birds' nests, and seems, in
fact, to be a very decent kind of fowl.
3ARGO OF V1VES.
How a Community of Hungarian Miners
Settled the Marriage Question.
"I think the most remarkable sight I
ever witnessed," said a Pueblo (Col.)
man to a St. Louis Globe-Democrat rep
resentative, "was at a small mining
town in our state, where the majority
of the miners are Poles or Hungarians
or both. For some timo a rumor had
gone around that the bachelor mem
bers of the community had sent enough
money to the old country to secure a
delegation of unmarried females to
come out and share their good fortune
with them. The prospective bride
grooms drank more than usual as the
arrival of the peculiar cargo became
more certain, and when finally a tele
gram was received from New York that
these damsels had actually arrived and
were on board a train, the men cele
brated the last of their bachelor days
by . a first-class drunk. They were
fairly sober on the morning the train
was to arrive, and putting on their best
clothes they arrived at the depot with
that peculiarly uncomfortable look
which miners are apt to assume when
dressed for meeting. . About half the
town was at the depot as well, and
some-one rather maliciously started a
cheer when the young ladies with their
huge bundles began to alight from the
cars. The crowd took up the idea and
a mighty cheer rang through the air.
The miners took charge of their pro
posed brides, and retired with them to
the house of a married friend, where it
is to be presumed brides and bride
grooms were divided up so as to suit
the feelings of the majority. The proc
ess did not take more than hahf an hour,
and within an hour of the arrival of
the train a local justice of the peace
had securely tied the sundry and divers
knots necessary to complete the trans
action. No marriage bureau ever did
business in so strictly a regular and
satisfactory manner."
Legend or the Daisy.
There is a pretty legend connected
with the daisy, which is an Old World
flower Americanized. When the early
Christians of Britain were persecuted
and put to death St. Bruon persuaded
his sister, St. OUe, to flee with her
maiden companions. After the perse
cution ceased the bishop searched
.fruitlessly for his sister until he noticed
that there sprung up in his pathway
little tufts of flowers with golden
hearts and starry rays of white. He
took them for his guides, and following
their mute beckoning, after many days
they led him to a desert place where,
in a rocky hiding place, he found his
sister.
Plugging Ears to Indnce Sleep.
In order to insure sound sleep Prof.
Scripture, of Yale, has for years plugged
up his ears at night. He explains the
process as follows: "The stick of wax
is warmed over the gas flame, and a
sufficient quantity is pressed off be
tween the thumb and finger. - This is
placed in the entrance of the external
meatus. In osder to make such a fit
that no sensations of touch are pro
duced when the head is placed pn the
pillow, the tragus is placed over it for
an instant, and the end of the index
finger slightly loosens the top and the
bottom of the plug in the ear. Each
morning the antiphoncs are thrown
away."
TEA AND TOBACCO INSANITY.
Their Excessive Cse by Underfed People
the Cause of Mental Failure.
A report upon insanity in Ireland
which has just been issued enumerates
among the causes of mental failure the
innutritious dietary of the poorer pop
ulation tending to produce anaemia
and constitutional weakness, which
favor the development ' of scrofulous
and neurotic disease and the immod
erate use of certain nervous stimulants,
particularly tea and tobacco.
"While the moderate nse of properly
prepared tea," the report adds, "is re
garded as innocuous or even beneficial
in its action on the nervous system, its
ill effects, when decocted or overin
fused, on persons who make it their
stable article of dietary are dwelt on
by almost all the resident medical
superintendent in their several re
ports. Undoubtedly the method of
preparation adopted and the excessive
use of this article of diet, now so gen
eral among our poorer population, tends
to the production of dyspepsia, which
in its turn leads to states of mental
depression highly favorable to the
production of various forms of neurot
ic disturbance. The excessive use of
tobacco also, especially among the
young, whether by smoking or chew
ing, in the opinion of certain of our
medical superintendents acts, though
perhaps in a minor degree, injuriously
on the nervous centers."
In many parts of Ireland it has been
found that bread and tea have been
substituted for porridge and milk, and
for potatoes also; that the tea used is
generally of an inferior quality, and
the method of preparation is to put a
quantity in thej teapot early in the
morning and to allow it to stew during
the day, water being added as required.
A TRUE GHOST STORY.
The Kequest of the Apparition Was Car
ried Out to the totter.
Here is a ghost story one of a large
class, and therefore perhaps more
likely to be veracious, especially as it
first saw the light in a London paper.
It has an appearance of strict and even
narrow truthfulness. There was a cer
tain Capt. Blomberg, of some regiment
unknown, on active service in America.
Five or six of his brother officers, -he be
ing engaged on duty two hundred miles
away, were dining together. The door
was opened and Capt. Blomberg ap
peared, to everybody's surprise. With
out speaking, he walked in and sat
down in a vacant chair. They all
asked him how he came there.
To their questions he made no reply;
then one of them said: "Blomberg, are
you mad?"
On this he rose and replied: "When
you go back to London take my son to
the queen and beg her to be his pro
tector." .
This said, he walked out of the room
as he had come in. A few days after
ward the news came that he had been
killed in action on the very day and
at the same hour of his appearance. '
It is pleasing to record that the
queen, on whose favor the gallant of
ficer may have had some claims, vdid
protect the son, wno became cnapJain-in-ordinary
to his majesty, deputy clerk
of the king's closet, canon residentiary
of St. Paul's and vicar of St. Giles, Crip
plegate. GOVERNMENTAL ECONOMY.
It Is Being Rigidly Exercised in Mexi
can Affairs.
"Mexico," said an American resi
dent of the City of Mexico to a Wash
ington Post representative, "is under
going a crucial test, but it is standing
the ordeal bravely, and in the end will
emerge with the prestige of sustained
credit and greater prosperity than it
has ever enjoyed. It has been a hard
matter to keep the ship of state afloat
in these times of extraordinary depres
sion. A rigid policy of retrenchment
has been pursued. Salaries of public
officials have been cut, the army de
creased, and additional taxes imposed
in order to meet the obligations of the
government. There is no system of di
rect taxation down there, and aU the
revenues from imports are collected in
silver. As silver has depreciated in
value the revenues have corresponding
ly diminished in volume,, bo that it was
a matter Of necessity to increase the
taxes.
"In spite of all these difficulties the
republic is gaining, and has a splendid
future. The depression in mining is, I
think, a blessing in disguise. It will
tend to "bring out the other great nat
ural resources of the country. Agri
culture has never received in Mexico
the attention it deserves. We have as
fine coffee, sugar and tobacco lands as
there are on the globe, and the people
are at last waking up to the importance
of their cultivation. In this neglected
source of wealth lies Mexico's fairest
promise of prosperity." -
FORTUNE IN THE STREETS.
But Nobody Thus Par lias Been Ingenious
Enough to ProUt by It.
"Would you believe it, sir," said a
well-known Strand boot maker the
other day, "that some three million of
people walk about the streets of Lon
don daily, and in doing so wear away a
ton of leather from their boots and
shoes."
"Is that really a fact?"
"Really," was the emphatic reply.
"And the amount would be greater if
the streets were not so well paved and
attended to. The ton of leather I have
just spoken of would in a year form a
leather strip one inch wide and long
enough to extend from London to New
York."
"And what would be its value?"
"Well, estimating the great amount
of disintegrated sole leather at 5d. a
pound, what it costs consumers, its
value would be one hundred thousand
pounds. If it could bo recovered from
the streets a fortune might result to
somebody in the shoddy leather line.
But, unfortunately, there seems no
means of recovering all this Valuable
leather, and so no doubt it will always
be swept up in the dust and dirt.
But," he reflectively added, "if a proc
ess by which this leather can be sep
arated from the dirt is discovered, the
inventor would be at once a rich man."
TOO WARM . FOR COMFORT.
A Spot In Persia Where the Thermometer
Shows 130 In the Shade. . . .
The hottest region on the earth's sur
face is on the southwestern coast of
Persia, on the borders of the Persian
gulf, says an exchange. For forty con
secutive days in thiA-tnontlis of July
and August the liicrcury has been
known to stand above one hundred de
grees in the shade night and day, and
to run up as high as one hundred and
thirty degrees in the middle of the aft
ernoon. At Bahrin, in the center of
the most torrid part of this most torrid
belt, as though it was nature's inten
tion to make the place as unbearable
as possible, water Jrom wells is some
thing unknown. Great shafts have
been sunk to a depth of five hundred
feet, but always with the same result
no water. Notwithstanding this
serious drawback, a numerous pop
ulation .contrives to live there,
thanks to copious springs, which burst
forth from the bottom of the gulf more
than a mile from the shore. The wa
ter from these springs is obtained in a
most curious and novel manner. Macha
dores, whose sole occupation is- that of
"furnishing the people of Bahrin with
the life-giving fluid, repair to that por
tion of the gulf where the springs are
situated, and bring away with them
hundreds of skin bags full of the water
each day. The water of the gulf where
the springs burst forth is nearly two
hundred feet deep, but the machadores
divers manage to fill their goat
skin sacks by diving to the bottom and
holding the mouths of the bags over the
fountain jets; this, too, without' allow
ing the salt water of the gulf to mix
with it. The source of these subma
rine fountains is thought to be in the
hills of Osmond, five hundred miles
away. Being situated at the bottom of
the gulf, it is a mystery how they were
ever discovered, but the fact remains
that they have been known since the
dawn of history.
