Deafness Cannot be Cored
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to curej)eafness,
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 hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
' the inflammation can betaken out and
. this tube restored to its normal' condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused ' by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

The Beggars of a Roumania Oity
Organized to Some Purpose. -
When Forbidden by the Police to Beg
They Resort to Ways That Are
Still 9Iore Dark to l".ain
Their Ends.
"Blessed is. the land that has no his
tory," is a modern proverb, the truth
of irhieh is not likely to be contested,
says a writer in the London Telegraph;
and for the past few years Eoumania
lias acquired the right of considering
itself foremost among these privileged
countries. Ko political event of any
note has been .chronicled here during
that time, and people mind or neglect
their own business as the spirit moves
them, without fuss 'or worry, leaving
their neighbors to do likewise. The
smooth course of this beneficial but
humdrum monotony was broken lately
by an occurrence, vouched for by a
well-informed journal of this city,
which, if not precisely calculated to
usher in far-reaching changes in the
sphere of politics, is at least interest
ing enough, by reason of the light it
throws on economic questions general
ly and on the ethics of strikes in par
ticular. . Incredible as it may appear,
the strike on this occasion was planned
and carried , on by the" Guild of
Bcgg-arsi It should be premised, how
ever, in order to understand the feasi
bility of such a seemingly mad notion,
that the largest contingent of mendi-i-ants
in this happy kingdom is fur
nished by unregenerate gypsies, who
are as black, uncivilized and isolated
here as they were in their native land
loDg centuries ago. They are a very
clever people, who can turn their
hands to almost anything, and can
turn almost anything" toward their
hands; so that it is considered some
what of a concession to the needs of
society on their part that they humbly
beg for what they might easily appro
priate if they had a mind to. Mow,
one of the finest streets in all Buchar
est is the Calea Vittoriei,- which ex
tends the entire length of the city,
from the Dimbovitza quay to the Kis
seleff roach It boasts two churches,
one theater, several hotels, govern
ment offices, the royal palace, the prin
cipal clubs and the most attractive
shops, the boulevards being situated on
f either side of the street.
This fashionable thoroughfare was
the favorite beat of the beggars, some
of whom are known to have "made a
fortune and retired from the business,"
as French advertisements put it, in a
few years. The street literally
swarmed with them of late, and their
number went on increasing. You
could not go to your hotel, take a glass
of wine in a restaurant or enter a
church or theater without running the
gauntlet of a score' or. more of impor
tunate beggars. People at last began
to complain, and the prefect of the po
lice admitted that it was an eyesore
which must at all costs be removed.
He therefore issued an order peremp
torily prohibiting- beggars from "ply
ing their calling" in Calea Vittoriei or
any of the streets which intersect it.
The. members of the indignant frater
nity at once put their heads together
and resolved to strike, and for twenty
four hours there was not a beggar to
be seen or heard , in Bucharest, and
great was the consequent joy of the
dwellers in the west end of this capital
thereat.
Meanwhile one Qf the guild called on
the prefect and requested an audience,
which was granted then and there.
He explained that his brethren had
sent him to express their regret? that
any such ill-advised measure should
have been taken against them, seeing
that they were so popular with the
wealthy classes. "Besides, if we are
not allowed to take up our old position
in the Callea-Vittoriei," he added, "we
shall feel compelled to continue to
strike." This threat tickled the fancy
of the police prefect, who laaighed out
right and said: "Then strike away,
my good man! You will all the sooner
become profitable members of society."
"It's now that we are useful members
of society," rejoined the spokesman of
the mendicants. "Every gentleman
and lady who gives us a ley tenpence)
or a few banis (a bani is a tenth part
of a penny) feels insured, as it were,
against tenfold losses in other ways.
Your own policemen will confirm what
I say.. You understand me. We can
pull through nicely enough without
alms, God be praised, but it will be a
positive loss to the almsgiving classes
if we go out on a strike. We can turn
our hands to other things without any
painful efforts. Believe me, I am act
ing in the interests of society." The
prefect all at once became thoughtful,
and, dismissing the eloquent advocate
of the poor, said he would give the
matter his careful consideration. And
he fulfilled his promise, for before the
shades of night had fallen the police
reported a large number of complaints
lodged by private individuals, whose
watches, gold chains, silver, handker
chiefs and filled purses had been ab
stracted, they knew not by whom,
how or where. A dazzling light is said
to have dawned .upon the prefect's
mind, and early the next morning the
chief of the gypsy beggars received an
intimation that their demands would
be complied with, and that the sooner
they returned to "work" the better.
Since then people give alms in the
time-honored way and have no further
losses to complain of. A beggars'
strike might possibly be a boon in
other countries, but in Roumania it
would prove a terrible calamity.
Be Qniet," Said She.
An excellent story was told at a Lon
don charity dinner the other night.
Mr. Sydney Holland, chairman of the
Poplar hospital for accidents, is re
ported as follows:
"One day a man was brought in who
was thought to be dead. His wife was
with him. One of the doctors said: 'He
in-dead,' but the man raised his head
and said: 'No, 1 am not dead yet,'
whereupon his wife admonished him
saying: 'Be quiet; the doctor ought to
know best.' " ,
GLASS WORKING.
The Delicate Process Is' Attended with
Much Uncertainty.
A writer in the Optician states that
glass is a substance which, as the glass
blower says, has a will of its own. It
is very often difficult to tell how a par
ticular piece is going to act under cer
tain conditions, even after having
tested other pieces of the same "batch."
When subjected to the heat one end of
a tube will sometimes respond dif
ferently from -the other end. This is
in' a measure due to unequal chilling,
occasioned - possibly by a sudden
draught of air while it is in process
of manufacture No piece of glass is
absolutely reliable. Its working is,
therefore, at certain stages, most un
certain, and one person may have en
tirely different experiences . from
another. It is chameleonlike, and
every process succeeds better with
those who seem to have a knack which
is generally obtained by long practice.
Ine cutting of glass heads the list of
the uncertain processes, for it has no
definite cleavage, and its 'separation i
modified by the surrounding tempera
ture. The simplest ' separation is on
flat glass in a , straight line. Here all
that is necessary is a deep and regular
scratch with a glazier's diamond, a
firm and speedy bend away from the
main piece, and the parts crack along
the desired line. These glazier's dia
monds may be purchased. and general
ly prove satisfactory, but it is more
economical to purchase from some dia
mond cutter a small splinter, and in
sert this into a piece of brass rod hav
ing a small hole drilled into one end.
The splinter should now be cemented'
with marine glue and the brass rod
filed a little upon the side nearest the
ruler, to obtain, after trial, the best
cutting angle for the diamond. Another
instrument for cutting glass less ex
pensive than the diamond is the glass-
blower s knife, which is a piece of thin
steel tempered glass hard by heating
it cherry red and then plunging it into
ice-cold water or mercury. The edge
should be sharpened by rubbing it upon
an old, rough emery grindstone until
fine saw-like notches "appear. It is
then ready for use and should, if much
used, be sharpened repeatedly. v.
To cut ' tubes, carefully scratch at
right angles to the axis a deep notch,
either with the diamond, a triangular
file or a glass- blower's knife. Heat a
piece of glass rod until a small globule
appears on the end and press this upon
the scratch. The glass will thus be heat
ed more at this point than at any other;
an unequal expansion takes place, the
scratch giving direction to the line, of
fracture, and the tube cracks evenly if
its thickness is uniform. In the case
of variable thickness uneven edges re
sult, and these must be -filed down, to
avoid sharp, cutting splinters. Many
recipes and directions have been given
for cutting bottles. Wetting an asbes
tos string with turpentine and setting
it on fire produces considerable heat in
the glass immediately underneath it.
By quickly removing the string and
plunging the bottle into cool water the
unequal strain " takes place and the
parts separate, it is this locating of
the heat that causes the glass to crack
as we wish it. .The easiest method, if
the means be at hand, is to employ a
platinum wire, which should be heated
white hot by the passage of a heavy
electric current. By wrapping the
wire round a heavy bottle or jar and
allowing the current to pass for ten or
fifteen seconds the stoutest walled ves
sel may be easily separated if touched
on the heated line with a cloth dipped
in water. .
SOUTH SEA LEGENDS OF FIRE
A Whale and an Air Dragon Each Believed
to Have Originated Flame.
The South Sea Islanders tell a curi
ous story of the origin of fire. If they
are to be believed, says the St. Louis
Republic, they came m possession of
that useful element in the following
manner: A great whale was once
washed ashore upon one of their islands
daring the prevalence of a terrible hur
ricane. The monster became - entan
gled in a grove of yellow trees (a spe
ciesof evergreen whose branches easily
ignite), and, while gnashing his teeth
in his impotent rage, struck off a spark
which lighted the grove and consumed
both trees and whale, Fires which are
said to have been perpetuated since the
day of the "great whale fire'" may yet
be seen burning in many parts of the
island. '
Another fire legend, believed in- by
the inhabitants of the islands to the
north of the ones in which the "great
whale fire" is preserved, is to the effect
that a great air dragon (probably light
ning) breathed upon a tallow tree and
set its branches on fire. From the
coals left from this fire they learned of
its great value, and have ever since
used the element for domestic purposes
and in their religious ceremonies. They
also have a tradition that the time will
come when the dragon will return for
the fire, and that no man will be able
to withstand him and save the sacred
spark except he .be a person born with
pink eyes, fair skin and white hair.
For this reason the birth of an albino
is always hailed as a good omen, and
his or her person guarded with jealous
care, so as to preserve life to its utmost
limit. Marionette mentions seeing a
"fire god" or "fire guard" (albino) while
on his visit to the islands, who was be
lieved to be at least one hundred and
fifty years old, and who had always
been provided for by the tribe.
Raflincsque, who made South Sea
Island myths and legend a study for
years, is of the opinion that the return
of the dragon for his fire is symbolic-of
death aid the flight of the spirit.
-An Uncanny Bird.
- One of the most fantastic birds is the
laughing owl of Florida and some
other southern parts. He sits well up
in a tree late at night and emits a se
ries of loud, strange ha-has that sound
like half-human laughter. The sound
is sufficiently terrifying to a nervous
camper unacquinted with the habit of
the bird, though less pmesome than
the unearthly call of che Chesapeake
loon, -heard at all ho-.rs of the night
along.the shores of that bay.
SETTING A ROOSTER.
A Darky Who Utilized a Male Member of
the Chicken Tribe.
'A citizen of Romford had canvassed
the town in vain from end to end in
search of a "hen to set," says the Prov
idence Journal, when he heard that an
old darky on the Boston, Providence &
Newport road had a great deal of
setting stock." , As this was lust what
he wanted, he lost no time in hunting
him up. He found the old man build
ing a hen coop in the rear of his resi
dence. Approaching, he asked, by
way of --broaching the subject, how
many hens he had "setting."
"Three hens and a rooster, boss."
"And a which?" inquired the poul
try man, thinking he had not heard
straight.
"A rooster," replied the darky.
Seeing the look of distrust on his
visitor's f ace he took him into a low
building, and sure enough there sat
a Brahma rooster calmly covering
twenty eggs. On one side of him sat
two hens and on the other a third hen.
The visitor, seeing how stately the
rooster sat, secretly resolved to get
some of the darky's eggs and hatch
out a special lot of roosters. On being
asked what he did when the rooster
wouldn't sit any longer, the darky re
plied that "dat ar rooster done bound
to set," -pointing underneath' the box.
Looking under the box the visitor
was surprised to find both of the roost
er's legs sticking through holes in the
box. The black rascal; had actually
bored holes through the box and tied
the rooster's legs underneath, so, as he
said, the rooster was "done bound to
set."
Inquiring into the matter, the Rum
ford man found that the darky had
four hens and one ,rooster. Three of
the hens were setting and the other
hen was laying. The darky, finding
the eggs of the ' hen accumulating
quite fast, decided to let up feeding
the rooster corn, and make him hatch
a flock of chickens.
