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.
Peafness 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 tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine oases 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 catarth)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh

OLD-TIME ENEMIES.
China and. Japan Have Been Foes
for Two Thousand Years.
Cores Since Time Oat of Blind Ilm Been
the Bone of Contention Between the
Two Nations The First
Invasion. .
In the "Land of the Chrysanthemum,"
by Dr. David Murray, jvho was for
crly adviser to' the Japanese min
ister of education, are some interesting'
facts -concerning Japan's relations with
Corea and China. From China Japan
got everything except certain minor
phjises of art taught her by Corean
prisoners and exiles. From China she
pot her literatcre and her very alpha
bet, the traditions of her art, almost all
her higher life. This is not the first
time she has quarreled with China over
Corea, but of that anon. Once China
i".efmitely decided on the conquest of
Japan. It was in the day s of Kublai
Han, who decreed the stately pleasure
housy in Coleridge's Xanadn. The Jap
saene allege that Kublai sent one hun
dred thousand men for the invasion,
r.ail that he managed to transport them
three hundred junks. The forces
eroded were defeated by the hero To
:i:aune, and a typhoon finished off the
Chinese armada.
The first Japanese invasion of Corea,
r .-. Dr. Murray points out, was under
: Ucs Empress Jingo, who was mother
of the god of war; therefore it has to
be taken with salt. Corea, or', as the
Japanese call it, Chosen, was divided
into three kingdoms, Korai, Shiraki
and Xudara. When Jingo-Kogo land
ed in Shiraki they all came with alac
rity the Sankan, the three tributary
countries dependent of Japan. After
this she was empress regent for sixty
eight years, and died at the age of one
hundred. So complacent did the Co
rsans feel about being Sankan that the
king of Kudara sent an eminent Chi
nese scholar to educate Jingo's son.
The scholar took with him the "Confu
cian Analects" and the "Thousand
Character Essay," and the future god
of war became a very learned man.
The' Emperor Jingo died about 370 B.
O., and a Japanese garrison was main
tained in Kudara for a trifling nine
hundred years, when the Coreans of
Shiraki and the Chinese compelled
them to withdraw. With the Japanese
went many of the Corean friends, who
came with them, like the Huguenots
when driven from France, a knowledge
of many arts and a culture which were
eagerly welcomed by the rising Japan
ese empire. They were colonized in
convenient quarters in different prov
inces, and as an encouragement freed
from taxation for a time. Their influ
ence upon the opening civilization of
Japan cannot be overlooked or neg
lected in our estimate of the forces
which conspired to produce the final
result.
In another trifling nine hundred
years Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the du gues
clin of Japan, determined to conquer
Corea, which had suddenly discontinued
sending gifts. He sent from one hun
dred and thirty thousand to three hun
dred thousand men under Konishi and
Kato, the interesting feature being that
such a large proportion of the army
were Christians (this was in 1852) that
they had to be lmrnpred by having Ko
nishi, who was a Christian, in com
mand. The two commanders were
always at loggerheads, and so the ex
pedition was a virtual failure, though
neither Coreans nor Chinamen could
make any stand before the two-headed
sword of the Japanese, until the Chi
nese by treachery gained time to intro
duce into Corea armies of overwhelm
ing numbers. However, all that the
Japanese ever got out of the conquest
and occupation of Corea was three
sake tubs full of pickled ears and noses,
the proceeds of thirty-eight thousand
seven hundred Chinese and Corean
heads, which form the center of the
Mimi Zuka, or ear mound in the Dai
butsu temple at Kyoto, and the pris
oners of Shimazu Yoshehiro, prince of
Satsuma pottery, the wonder of the
world. The great and diplomatic Iye
yasu restored the cordiality of rela
tions between Japan and Corea, as is
testified by the exquisite bronze can
delabra which adorn his mausoleum at
Nikko. But Corea has never yet got
over the ravagings of Hideyoshi's army.
Hainan Sacrifice Among Ashantes. .
"The most savage and horrible of all
the barbarous customs of the Ashantes
in Africa," said Prof. W. G. Steadman,
of Washington, to a St. Louis Globe--Democrat
man, "is that of celebrating
the death of a king or a great noble by
a sacrifice of other lives; indeed, almost
all of their anniversary rites are at
tended by a holocaust of human be
ings. They believe that when a king
or noble dies he must have wives and
slaves in the next world, just as he had
in this, and in order that these may not
be wanting the simple expedient is re
sorted to of killing his wives and
slaves and sending them' after him.
Rude and bloody ceremonies mark the
practice of this custom, which are con
tinued for about a week. Strange to
say, numerous volunteers are always
found who are not only ready,' but
anxious to be offered up in honor of a
dead king."
Marriage by Advertisement.
Marriage by an advertisement and
pretty modest advertisement at that
has become an institution in Japan,
says the New York World. The Frank
furter Zeitung quotes the following:
"A young lady wishes to marry; she is
beautiful, has a rosy countenance,
framed in' dark hair, eyebrows in the
form of the crescent moon, and a small
but gracious mouth. She is also very
rich rich enough to spend the day by
the side of her beloved admiring flow
ers and to pass the night in singing to
the stars of heaven. The man on whom
her choice shall N fall must be young,
handsome and educated." The adver
tiser seems to think that, this being
given, enough has been done to secure
the perfect life, for the next clause re
fers to the end of it: '-'He must also be
tvilling to share the same grave."
A SMART OCULIST.
He Acts as Scientific Detective and ex
poses an Attempted Fraud.
. Here is an interesting account of a
very clever bit of detective work by an
oculist:
It appears that in a large factory in
which were employed several hundred
persons one of the workmen in .wield
ing his hammer carelessly allowed it
to slip from his hand. It flew half way
across the room and struck a fellow
workman in the left eye. The man
averred that his sight was blinded by
the blow, although a careful examina
tion failed to reveal any injury, there
being not a scratch visible. He brought
a suit in the courts for compensation
for the loss of half of his eyesight, and
refused all offers of compromise, says
an English paper.
Under the law the owner of the fac
tory was responsible for an injury re
sulting from an accident of this kind,
and although he believed that the man
was shamming and that the whole case
was an attempt at swindling, he had
about made up bis mind that he would
be compelled to pay the claim. The
day of the trial arrived, and in open
court an eminent oculist retained for
the defense examined the alleged in-
Mured member and gave it as his opinion
that it was as good as the right eye.
Upon the plaintiffs loud protest of his
inability to see with his left eye the
oculist proved him a perjurer and sat
isfied the court and jury of the falsity
of his claim.
And how do you. suppose he Sid it?
Why, simply by knowing that the
colors green and red combined make
black. He. procured a. black card on
which a few words were written with
green ink. Then the plaintiff was or
dered to put on a pair of spectacles
with two different glasses, the one for
the right eye being red and the one for
the left eye consisting of ordinary
glass. Then the card was handed him
and he was ordered to read the writing
on it. This he did without hesitation,
and the cheat was at once exposed.
The sound right eye, fitted with the
red glass, was unable to distinguish the
green writing on the black surface of
the card, while the left eye, which he
pretended was sightless, was the one
with which the reading had to be done.
NO TIME TO SPECULATE.
Prompt Action of an Engineer Saves the
Life of a Child-
"To do the right thing at the right
moment i3 a great faculty," said a
well-known railroad man to the Lewis
town Journal man. "I saw this illus
trated once. I was on the engine with
Ed Chase, who was "for many years en
gineer on the Dexter branch of the
Maine Central. Now as one comes into
Corinna village from the south there is
a long down grade that makes a heavy
freight or mixed train a pretty hard
thing to handle there. We were
booming along at a good speed with a
heavy load' behind us. I was chatting
carelessly with Chase, when all at once
he jumped and whistled on the brakes
with a vim, at the same moment re
versing his engine. 'There is ' some
thing ahead there on the track,' he ex
claimed, "it may De ubg, but may
be it's somebody's body.'
"The breaks were put down hard and
the train slowed up and pretty soon we
saw it was in fact a child sitting be
tween the rails playing in the gravel
a baby too small to think of danger.
It seemed certain that the train would
not be held before striking her, and
Chase ran out on the' pilot to snatch
her out of harm's way. The big en
gine came to a standstill only about
three feet from where she still sat.
She looked up, laughing merrily, as if
she thought it was a fine thing to stop
a train.
"It was Chase's instantaneous action,
when he didn't know whether it was
child or dog, that saved the little one's
life. A delay of five seconds . would
have been too late, for the train would
certainly have gone over her. I have
seen men act many times in emergen
cies, when cool and quick judgment
was required, but never a happier in
stance than this."
GETTING AROUND THE OLD MAN
An Unrelenting Papa Carries .His Daug-h-v
ter'a Ixjve Letters.
There is a business man of this city
who has a very pretty daughter with
whom one of papa's office staff has
fallen hopelessly in love, says the De
troit Free Press. As the young man is
not invited to the paternal mansion,
and the young woman has been notified
to keep away from the paternal office,
the course of their love does not flow
very smoothly. However, they have
hit upon an expedient which gives
them a channel of communication, and
they will continue to employ it if papa's
eyes do not rest on this expose. It was
the girl who thought of it it always
is the girl who finds a clew to the situ
ation. It is this way: When papa enters the
office in the morning he hangs hia hat
on a certain nail among a row of other
hats and proceeds to business. Then
the interested clerk, while the head of
the firm is reading his morning mail,
takes the hat from the nail where it is
hung, looks inside, slips bis hand under
the lining and takes out a tiny missive,
which he at once conveys to his own
pocket, and the contents of which de
light and amuse him all day.
At night when papa returns home his
pretty daughter slips into the hall and
makes a raid on that hat, always find
ing there an answer to her missive of
the morning. How much longer papa
will occupy the position of Cupid's
mail-carrier . remains to be seen. He
will be madder than a hatter when he
finds it out;
Cat Pulls Its Aching Tooth.
A correspondent of a Scottish coun
try weekly tells a story of a cat which
somehow had the toothache, turned
surgeon and extracted the offending
grinder. The cat was one day observed
to be conducting itself like a creature
demented, jumping in the air, rolling
about and rushing in and out of i the
house. Next he took to "clawing" his
jaws, and lastly brought out a tooth,
which was found to be so far decayed
as to be quite hollow.
BOSTON BROWN BREAD.
It Must Not Be Confounded with the "Gra
ham Bread" Now Sold.
The - bread which has always been
known here as "Boston brown bread"
was baked all over New England long
before the "Graham bread" came into
use there, and was not a substitute for
Mr. Graham's loaf of unbolted flour.
The Boston brown bread, according to :
the almanacs of the Yankee farmers, is
composed of these materials: "Rye and
Indian, with a very little molasses,"
and it is the last ingredient that gives
it a dark color. It is a wholesome bread
when rightly prepared.
In all the old-fashioned houses of
Yankeeland, says the New York Sun,
the baking used to be done in big ovens.
It was after everything else had been
cooked that the brown loaf, the Indian
pudding, the " plum pudding, and ' the
red jar of beans were put in the oven,
where they were left for the night.
There are plenty of people yet living
who stoutly maintain that the primi
tive way of preparing these nutritious
articles of food was far better than any
of the new ways. -
Graham bread is another ' kind of
thing, and is made simply of unbolted
flour, like the wheaten bread which
was eaten ages ago. It is called after
the American "diet reformer," Bev.
Sylvester Graham, who began to advo
cate the use of it in the first half of this
century, and created quite a stir by his
arguments against the ordinary white
bread of the bakers' shops. In other
days, Graham bread was often spoken
of scornfully as "bran bread," and the
people who ate it or upheld' it were
dubbed "bran bread philosophers."
Horace Greeley was one of these people.
The old Boston brown loaf was never
popular beyond the boundaries of New
England. .
"Billy" McGarrahan's Epitaph.
Old "Billy" McGarrahan, who for
years urged a claim against the. gov
ernment without success, and who died
in Washington a month or so ago, lies
buried in the "strangers' division" of
Mount Olivet cemetery. Some of his
friends have joined in the erection of a
tombstone over the grave, on which
are carved the words: "Better Days,"
which was always the toast he gave on
social occasions.
The Dish's Power.-
A fish exerts its great propulsive
power with its tail, not its, fins. The
paddle wheel was made on the fin
theory of propulsion, and the screw
propeller had its origin in noting the
action of the tail. It is now shown
that the fins of the tail actually per
form the evolutions described by the
propeller blades, and that the fish in
its sinuous motion through the water
depends on the torsional action of the
tail to give it power.
