' Deafness Cannot fee Cured
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 hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tnbe 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.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (.caused by catarih'1

A WATCH OF WOOD.
The Remarkable Ingenuity Which Secured
Pardon for a Russian Convict.
A watch described in the Scientific
American is an excellent illustration of
what may be accomplished by a combi
nation of ingenuity, skill and persist
ency. It is a watch made almost
wholly of wood by a watchmaker, who
was convicted of some crime and sent
to Siberia by the Russian government.
The convict made this watch to while
away his time, and was pardoned be
cause of his work. The only tool he
had to work with was a penknife. Ir
regularity in the work can only be dis
cerned by examining it with a glass.
Nevertheless it is remarkably accurate
and the watch runs and keeps fair time.
The wood used was box wood. The
numerals on the face are small pieces
of ivory, inlaid. The dial wheels are
of ivory, and are set on the face of the
dial. The hour, minute and second
hands are of tortoise shell. The second
dial is recessed on the lower part of
the main dial. The wheels and plates
of the movement are of wood, while
the pinions, balance, cylinder and es
capement wheel are Of ivory. The
rachet. spring is of wood. The plates
are held together by wooden pins and
the balance bridge by ivory screws.
The key with which the watch is
wound is made of wood with an ivory
sip, and is made like a modern rachet
key. The winding "square" is of ob
long' shape. This ingenious watch
maker also constructed the box in
which the watch is contained. All Vhe
joints are perfect, so that the box it
practically dust proof.
A LEGEND OF CALVARY.
About the Soldier Who Pierced Christ's
Side with the Spear.
The name of the soldier who pierced
Christ's side with the spear while he
was hanging1 on tho cross has been pre
served in the legendary lore of the
church as Longinus, says the St. Louis
Republic. This man was one of the
soldiers appointed to keep guard at the
cross, and it is. said that he was con
verted by the miracles which attended
the crucifixion. The legend even goes
further, declaring that he was one of
the company of watchers set to guard
the scpulcher, and that he was the
only one who refused to be bribed to
say that the body of our Saviour
had been stolen by the disciples.
For his fidelity to this great truth, Pi
late resolved upon his destruction. On
this account Longinus left the army
to devote his entire time to spreading
the gospel; but he did this without
first getting permission from the gov
ernor of Judea, or from Rome. He and
two fellow soldiers whom he had con
verted retired to Cappadocia, where
they began to preach the word of God.
At- the instigation of some of the
leading Jews, however, Pilate sent out
a detachment of soldiers who surprised
the deserters at a place where . they
were holding a Christian meeting, and
where they had three crosses, set up
as an illustration of the tragedy which
had occurred but a short while before
at Jerusalem.. AH three' were killed
and beheaded, and their heads nailed
upon the crosses and carried in triumph
back to Jerusalem.
AMBULANCE FOR MINE USE.
It Is Adapted to Crooked and Uneven
Passageways.
The difficulty of carrying injured
men in mines through narrow and un
even passages has often been recog
nized. An apparatus invented by Dr.
Paul Troisfontaines is described by the
"Semaine Industrielle," of Brussels,
and seems to be simple and convenient,
as well a3 cheap. It consists of a sort
of hurdle or litter, made of hoops about
eight mm. in diameter, placed parallel
and joined by a fabric of coru or mat,
somewhat like a hammock, thus giving
when required rigidity in one direc
tion and flexibility in the other. The
injured man is laid in the litter with
his legs extended and his arms at the
side of his body; the upper part of the
litter is then folded over and secured
by three or four straps. The man
then forms a package, and can be car
ried without the slipping and jolting
of an ordinary litter, no matter how
narrow or rough the workings may be.
In case of fracture there is .believed to
be less danger in carrying a man in
this way, holding him immovable, than
in attempting to keep the broken limb
in place by rough splints or bandages
extemporized on the spot. These lit
ters can be easily stored in a small
space. '
HER FUNERAL EXPENSES.
She, Has Found Them Useful on Several
Occasions.
"What do you do when you need some
money dreadfully and haven't got
any?" asked one girl bachelor of an
other who carried herself with an opu
lent air and who was famous for dis
covering cash in times of financial dis
tress, says the New York World.
"Well," replied the other bachelor,
"I'll tell you, if you won't tell anybody. ,
I borrow it from my funeral expenses."
"Funeral expenses!" exclaimed the
horrified querist, "what do you mean?"
"Just this; when 1 first began earn
ing money I put in bank several hun
dred dollars for my funeral expenses.
I've always had a horror of people be
ing able to say of me: 'Poor thing, her
uncle had to bury her,' or 'The church
had to pay her funeral. Well, when
I'm feeling pretty robust and want
something very much, without having
the requisite cash, a trip, a new gown,
or a course of lectures, I borrow the
sum needed from my funeral expenses,
and put it back when I am in funds
again. I argue that good clothes, rec
reation and intellectual pleasures help
me postpone my f uneral, no it is really
a wise investment. Do start a funeral
fund. You don't know how convenient
it is."
' The Moon's Movements.
The inhabitants of this earth have
never seen but one side of the moon.
The explanation is this: The moon
makes one revolution on her axis in
the same period of time that she takes
up in revolving once around the earth;
thus the same geographic region of the
lunar surface is always toward us.
WOOD FOR KINDLING.
How It Is Prepared by 8team and Ma
chinery for Use.
Pine kindling-wood comes principally
from the forests of Virginia. The
trees, says the Scientific American, are
first cut down and the trunks quar
tered and sawed into proper lengths.
The wood is then carted to the coast,
packed into sailing vessels and brought
to this section, where it is bought up
at the docks by the dealers and manu
factured into kindling wood, being
first sawed into short lengthsj then
passed through a steam splitter which
carries the pieces to an elevator, which
in turn passes them along and drops
them down into the delivery wagons.
The pieces of timber, which' are four
feet six inches in length, are first sawed
into eight and one-half inch lengths,
the saws used for the purpose being
thirty inches in diameter, one-eighth
of an ineh in thicknes, having fifty
inch and a quarter teeth. These saws
make about two thousand revolutions
per minute, the attendant being able
to saw up about from twelve to fifteen
cords per day. ' The pieces as ' fast
as they are sawed are passed to a
steam splitter. They are first placed
end up on a movable endless chain,
which, by the aid of two hexagon
wheels and a ratchet wheel which is
worked by an eccentric, causes the
chain with the wood to move along
under the kives, which pass down
through the pieces of wood, splitting
each of them into a dozen or more
pieces.
The knives are four in number and
bolted into the crosshead. They are
twelve inches in length, six inches in
width and three-quarters of an inch in
thickness. The knives pass up and
down a i perpendicular slide with a
twelve-inch stroke, making . about
eighty cuts per minute. The endless
chain is twelve inches in width, and
passes over a wooden bed, the top of
which is covered with an iron plate
which protects the chain from the
blows of the knives when striking the
wood. At every downward stroke of the
knives a moveable bearing which the
knives pass through holds the pieces
of wood down firmly against the chain.
With the upward stroke it releases the
split wood, which is moved forward
about two inches at a stroke by the
chain, which is worked by the ratchet
wheel and ecccn trie. The pieces of
wood then drop down into an elevator
at the end of the machine and are car
ried off to the delivery wagons by a
number of buckets bolted on a twelve
inch cotton belt. These buckets are
eighteen inches apart, and made of
wooden strips three .inches in height
and about one and one-half inches in
thickness. They are held in place by
being bolted to narrow iron strips on
the under side of the belt. The belt is
about forty-five feet in length, and
travels about one thousand feet per
minute. The splitting machine can
cut about twenty cords per day. A
delivery wagon holding about one cord
can be filled in about fifteen minutes.
The wholesale price of Virginia pine
at the dock is from '. seve n dollars to
eight dollars per cord, the manufac
tured kindling wood brings from eleven
dollars to thirteen dollars per cord.
MADE YOUNG BY THE CIRCUS.
A Childless Pittsburgher's Vain Quest for
an Excuse to Visit the Sawdust Ring.
It is surprising- how paternal men be
come when a circus comes to town.
They must get fatherly to become child
ish. A Pittsburgh Dispatch reporter
saw one man the other day who spent
most of the forenoon trying to "bor-.
row a boy to take to the circus." He
confided to me that the circus was one
thing that made the blood thrill in his
veins, but his dignity would not per
mit him to attend one without sufficient
excuse. As he had. nov- children of his
own he was forced to hunt up somebody
who would loan him a child to take to
the show. He said: "But the strang
est part of it all is that I was unable to
get one- ' Now. you would imagine
that there would be plenty of children
around anxious to see a circus, and you
would be right; but the supply did not
equal the demand. By actual count I
went to twelve of my friends who have
growing boys and requested that I
might give the little fellows some
pleasure by taking them. : Without a
single exception they thanked me Very
much for my kindness, and said they
were going to take them themselves.
Now, I would feel foolish going to a
circus without I had a child with me.
Yet I do not know of anything I like
better. It brings back the old days
when I was in the country, a bare
footed boy following the parade, look
ing with wonderment at the lone ele
phant plodding along. ..The smell of
the sawdust, the cries of the peanut
and lemonade man are ' as pleasant to
me as the new mown hay and singing
birds. They are the chemicals which
develop the unseen image which is
upon the plate of memory, and it comes
forth in all its glory. , But I missed
this aU. for, thanks to the same feel
ing in the hearts of my father friends,
all the available 'excuses' were taken
up. . Go myself? What do you take me
for? Do you think 1 woul.l allow any
one to think I would enjoy such a thing
as a circus? Never."
"Ignorance in Mexico.
Says an American business man who
has been living in Mexico: . "What
Mexico most needs is education. The
ignorance of the peons is astonishing.
If the great churches of America, which
are yearly sending millions of dollars
to China and Africa to educate the
heathen there, would devote a fair pro
portion of that money to Mexico far
more good would be accomplished. The
money would be better spent and re
sults more apparent. The few mis
sionaries in that country are .doing
?ood, but their number is not suf
icient. Then less theology and more
liberal education should . be taught,
sectarianism should not interfere with
the work. Strange as it may seem, the
English' tongue has displaced the
French as a foreign tongue, and is rap
idly being learned by the younger na
tives." '
A "Bun-down" "
And "need-up" feeling is the first warn
ing that your liver isn't doing its work.
And, with a torpid liver and the impure
blood that follows it,' you're an easy
prey to all sorts of ailments. That is

restorative tonic, to repel disease and
build up the needed flesh and strength,
there's nothing to equal it. It rouses
every organ into healthful action, puri
fies and enriches the blood, braces up
the whole system, and restores health
and vigor.
For every disease caused by a disor
dered liver or impure blood, it is the
only guaranteed remedy. If it doesn't
beneft or cure, in every case, you have
your money back.
