Deafness Cannot be 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 bearing, 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
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. catarrh)

FOSSIL BOTANY IN THE EAST.
One Hundred and Fifty Specimens of
Plant Deposit Found In Pennsylvania.
Underneath the great bed of cannel
coal, three miles below Darlington,
making' the floor of the coal mentioned,
is regarded by the Pittsburgh Dispatch
as one of the most varied paleobotanical
deposits known to science. No other
single locality " in this or any other
country has ever contributed such a
collection and such a variety of the
preglacial, or, it may be said, the car
boniferous botanical flora, as has come
from this coal floor. The material in
which these remarkable fossil imprints
occur is a dark, sandy shale, and to say
that the stratum is filled with plant re-,
mains is giving the fact only mild ex
pression. The richness and rareness
of this plant deposit will be understood
when it is stated that more than one
hundred and fifty varieties of speci
mens have been found, some entirely
new to science and such as have never
been found elsewhere, and all this on
an area of only from two to three feet
in thickness, from which the super
abundance of this early flora may at
once be inferred. The first vegetable
form- that is undeniably that of a mush
room was .here discovered, and so
anomalous was this as to the associated
formations that it was made the sub
ject of a paper read before the Ameri
can Philosophical society.
This remarkable locality is not con
tent only in vying with the world in
the richness and rareness of botanical
finds, but a crustacean of a rare type
is also in the collection from these
shales. This is a' form allied to
Eurypterus, and in honor of I. F.
Mansfield, the owner and enthusiastic
and indefatigable collector of these
specimens, the new fossil creature has
been called Dolichopterus MansfieldL
A matter of scientific interest as re
lated to this shale is the fact that the
material that entered into this cannel
coal formation was not produced from
the bed on which it rests, the myriads
of plant specimens affording an abund
ance of negative testimony. Dr. New
berry, a former Ohio state geologist,
has suggested that the cannel coal
owes its origin probably to the drifting
of a carboniferous mud into some quiet
lagoon. Probably a quiet settling
of sedimentary matter would bet
ter express the 'process, for, it must
have had a most quiescent action that
so evenly and gently pressed down the
delicate plant life so as to preserve aU
the fine minutae in the imprint. ' This
Darlington district will become a bo
tanical Mecca for students of paleo
botanical science.
CODDLED CODFISH.
Lifted from the Water, Stuffed with Edi
bles and Returned to the Pool.
At Logan, near the mull of Gallo
way, there is a most interesting tidal
fish pond. A rent in the cliffs facing
the Irish channel admits the salt water
through a narrow fissure, protected by
a grating, into a circular rock basin,
some thirty feet in diameter and twen
ty feet deep. The cliffs rise high all
around; stone steps descend on one
side to a ledge leveled into a footpath
at the water's edge. No sooner does
the visitor's footfall resound on the
stairs than the green water, hitherto
motionless and apparently lifeless, be
comes peopled with large brown fish,
rising from the depths, gliding and
dashing about in a great state of ex
citement. These are cod, lythe and
saithe, which, caught on lines in the
sea, have been transferred to this pond
to be fattened for the table. They are
fed daily by the keeper, says the Na
tional (English) Magazine, and experi
ence has taught them to connect the
sound of footsteps with their meal
time. Formerly a clapper used to be rung
to summon them, but this was no more
than a trick of the stage; the footfall
on the stone is quite enough to awaken
them to activity. Most of the cod, be
ing deep water fish, become totally
blind in captivity from excess of light,
but they become so tame and accus
tomed to their keeper as not only to
feed out of his hand, but some of them
allow themselves to be lifted out of the
water. One may witness the strange
sight of a huge cod, more than an eU
long, dangled on the knee like a baby,
hist mouth stuffed with mussels and
limpets, after which he is returned to
the water with a mighty splash. On
the table these fish, thus tended and
fed, prove much better than fish
brought straight from the open sea.
SOME WATERLOO INVENTIONS.
Famous Sayings with Which We Are Fa'
miliar Declared Unauthentic
Although the newspapers often print
paragraphs about familiar phrases and
their misplaced authorship, the mis
takes, as a general rule, continue to be
made. There is that story of Welling
ton at Waterloo, which originated, ac
cording to the Buffalo ..Courier, with
Alison, the historian. The French hav
ing at last broken, so the tale goes,
the "Iron Duke" cried to his reserves:
"Up, guards, and at them!" In the
face of frequent denials by Wellington
himself that he ever gave such a com
mand, it is repeated to this day as a
historical fact. An artist once went to
the duke and begged to be allowed to
paint him in the very attitude he took
when he uttered those stirring words.
"Go to the devil!" said the duke.
Again, a dowager asked him if he
really did say: "Up, guards, and at
them!" To this the duke replied: "I
couldn't have said it, madame; it would
have been absurd. What I probably
did say to my staff officers was some
thing like this: . 'Gentlemen, you will
now move upon the enemy's right.' "
Almost everybody believes that it was
Napoleon who said: "God always fa
vors the heaviest battalions." As a
matter of fact, Tacitus was the first
who is known to have used the phrase,
and Voltaire and Mme. Sevigne uttered
it in .exactly the manner credited to
Napoleon. That other familiar one:
"The r guard dies, but never surren
ders," was attributed . to Cambronne,
who was made a prisoner at Waterloo.
It was actually invented by Bouge
mont, an author of witty 6ayings, two
days after the fight. .. -.
AN IMPRESSIVE TRAIT.
A Queer Man Who Blade a Friend by Be
spect for His Mother.
During my bohemian days it oc
curred that I sat in an nuptown cafe
with the sort of a man whom this inci
dent will reveal, says a writer in the
New York Press. j
A wild-looking, unkempt chap, gaunt,
shabby, with a four days' growth of
beard, rushed in, looked wildly around
and then hurried over to my compan
ion and took him aside. As a result of
their conversation the man with me
turned to me and said in a whisper:
"I am going to ask you to loan me
two dollars, but don't you do it."
Then he asked me and, I refused the
loan,- and the gaunt man went unstead
ily out.
: "Queer duck, that," said the man at
the table with me; "always getting
into scrapes, ' taking out opera com
panies and leaving them stranded. The
last scrape he got into was in Montreal.
He telegraphed home: 'I am in jail on
a technicality, but don't tell mother.'
That struck me as very funny, 'Don't
tell mother.' But he was always an
ill-balanced ass, anyway."
Now the thoughtf ulness of his moth
er in the young man who wanted to
borrow two dollars struck me as a
rather deserving trait, and I left my
companion abruptly and followed him
out. I saw enoughof him to convince
me that he was not a man of business,
and not even an admirable character.
However, 1 loaned hini the two dol
lars. Since then he has been consider
ably in the public view in many ups
and downs. But he is now coming
home from the other side as the im
presario of a lot of Continental stars. I
wish him well. Like Mark Twain I
love a man who never shakes his moth
er. This one's name is Robert Grau..
AMERICAN RICE PAPER.
The Chinese Tree Is Now Successfully
Grown in Florida.
The rice paper tree, one of the most
interesting of the flora of China, has
recently been successfully experiment
ed with in Florida, where it now flour
ishes with other subtropical and Ori
ental species of trees and shrubs.
When first transplanted in American
soil the experimenters expressed doubts
as to its hardiness, fearing that it would
be unable to stand the winters. All
these fears have vanished, however,
and it is now the universal opinion that
it is as well adapted to the climate of
this country as to that of the famed
Flowery Kingdom.
It is a small tree, growing to a height
of less than fifteen feet, with a trunk
or stem from three to five inches in
diameter. Its canes, which vary in
color according to season, are large,
soft and downy, the form somewhat
resembling that noticed in those of the
castor bean plant. The celebrated rice
paper, the product of this queer tree, is
formed of thin slices of the pith, which
is taken from the body of the tree in
beautiful cylinders several inches in
length. ,
The Chinese workmen apply the
blade of a sharp, straicht knife to these
cylinders, says the St. Loui3 Republic,
and, turning them round either by
rude machinery or by hand, dexterous
ly pare tho pith from circumference to
center. This operation makes a roll of
extra quality paper, the scroll being of
equal thickness throughout. After a
cylinder has thus been pared it is un
rolled and weights are placed upon it
until Wie surface is rendered uniformly
smooth throughout its entire length.
. It is altogether probable' that if rice
paper making becomes an industry in
the United States these primitive modes
will be done away with.
HE HAD FOUND IT.
And Knew Just Exactly How Machine
Poetry Was Ground Out.
The young man and the young wom
an from half a mile beyond the timber
line came hesitatingly into the office,
arid the young man inquired if they
could look 'round a bit and ' see how a
newspaper was made.' Of course, per
mission was granted at once, and a
guide was furnished to do the honors.
They went everywhere, and, on the
principle of saving the best till the
last, they wound up in the editorial
rooms.
About the first thing that attracted
their attention in that department was
a smooth-looking young fellow busily
at work on a typewriter. The young
man left his fair companion in the
hands of the guide and sidled over to
the writer. He had no idea what it was,
but in a minute or two he noticed the
written page as it slowly emerged
from the roller, and he beckoned hasti
ly for the girL to come over, says the
Detroit Free Press.
"I say, Maria," he said, as he caught
her by the arm and dragged her closer,
"look at that, will you?" ,
"What is it?" she asked.
"You've heard tell of the machine
poetry they have in the newspapers,
haven't you?"
She nodded.
"Well," he explained, "that's what
they make it on. Yon watch the young
feller awhile and see how fast he can
turn it out," and they stood by the
busy writer so long that it almost gave
him a conniption fit, and then broke
him all up by asking him if he couldn't
give them a sample to take home with
them. "
. They Must Cure.
- Medical skill is at a rather low.ebb
throughout Russia, and not without
cause. An American physician, tempt
ed by the enormous fees so frequently
paid by the nobility, went to St. Pe
tersburg and within a year had a lu
crative practice. Then he was called
in to attend a baron who was suffering
from lung trouble. The doctor gave
his patient the best of care and skill,
but the baron died, and the widow
promptly sued the doctor for damages
for unskillful treatment. The unlucky
American was sentenced to pay a fine
of one thousand roubles and undergo
an imprisonment of thirty days. Under
the circumstances it is not surprising
that the. physician left Russia as soon
as he got out of jail, and nothing could
tempt him to return.
SUPERSTITIONS OF THE TURKS.
They' Are Not Contaminated by Western
Civilization.
The superstition of the Turks is no
where so apparent as in their fear of
the "evil eye." Jugs -placed around
the edge of the roof, or an old shoe
filled with garlic and beets (blue glass
balls or rings) are a sure guard against
this illusion. Whenever a pretty child
is playing upon the street the passer
by will say: "Oh, what an ugly
child!" . for fear of inciting the evil
spirit against its beauty. The peasant
classes in .Turkey are, of course, the
most superstitious, because they are the
most ignorant. They have no educa
tion whatever, and can neither read
nor write. Stamboul is the only great
city of which they know. : Paris is a
term signifying the whole outside
world. An American missionary was
once asked: "In what part of Paris is
America?" Yet it can . be said that
that they are generally honest and al
ways patient. They earn about six to
eight cents a day. This . will furnish
them with ekmek arid pilaff, and that
is all they expect. They eat meat only
on feast days, and then Only mutton.
The tax gatherer is their only griev
ance; they look upon him as a necessa
ry evil. They have no idea of being
ground down' under the oppressor's
iron heel. Yet they are happy because
they are contented and have no envy.
The poorer, the more ignorant a Turk
is the better he seems to be. As he
gets money and power, and becomes
"contaminated" by - western civiliza
tion he deteriorates.
FAST TIME BY A MOOSE.
The Speedy Animal Outruns a .Railway
Locomotive in a Four-JUUle Dash.
Anyone who thinks a moose can't
travel at a pretty lively gait is very
much mistaken, remarked a St. Paul
man to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
the other day. I used to be a loco
motive engineer up in the northern
part of my state, and one day I had
an opportunity to test the speed of this
animal. I was running a light freight
train, and in coming around a curve
"saw a big moose standing directly on
the track. As soon as the animal saw
the engine he took to his heels right
down the path between the rails. For
about four miles we had a perfectly
straight track, and as I had hoard of
the great speed of this animal I de
termined to test its ability. The gait
of the moose was a sort of trot, such
only as a moose can exhibit, his paces
being about two rods in length. At
first it was only a little jog, but as the
engine began to gain speed the moose
let himself out.- Faster and faster
sped the engine, but still the fright
ened moose trotted in the van, and all
the mysterious power, of steam could
not prevail upon this monarch of the
forest. At last, after we had covered
the four miles, turning a curve, we
came , upon a gang of . section hands
who were fixing the track. The sight
of these men . frightened the moose
from the track and he was soon lost to
view in the forest.
