There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that iB by constitntional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflated 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;
sine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing bat an in
flamed condition of the mucons surfaces.

FATE OF GOLD HUNTERS.
Driven Insane by Thirst 'While Seeking
Fortunes on the Colorado Iesert.
Misfortunes that have overtaken so
many wretched desert gold hunters
seems to have no effect on other seek
ers after fortune, says the Palm Springs
(Col.) correspondent of the New York
TelegTam. Perhaps no fate has been
so sad as that of the unknown pros
pector who was carried into Yuma re
cently insane for the want of water
and food. The unhappy man put in
an appearance with his nurse at the
romantic village of Durmid on the
Southern Pacific track. Durmid is in
the heart of the desert, and a few miles
from Sal ton. This and Volcano are the
dreariest spots in the world. For many
mile3 in the vicinity of Volcano Spring's
nothing grows. The ground is treach
erous, for under its seemingly.firm ex
terior are boiling1 mud wells. There
13 shelter for neither beast nor bird.
Even the miserable sage brush gets no
hospitality from the lean soil. A piti
iless" sun by day and a hot wind by
nig-ht greet the travelers who cross the
desert in their hunt for gold deposits.
Here the prospector first brought him
self to notice by asking- for a shovel.
"I've got a dead burro out yonder,"he
remarked, gazing- to the west, "and I
want to bury it."
The shovel was given him and away
he started. He came back some time
after and said he had buried the car
cass some six foet under the ground. It
v.-as considered stiMrjfys at the time,
aj no one here ever things of buryinj
an animal. The dry air desicates the
body as completely as if it had been
subjected to the heat of an oven. He
hung1 about the section house for a few
hoars and then left for Durmid, where
he mentioned his loss. There he stayed,
refusing- all offers of food, but picking
up his subsistence fr;m such food as ho
could find about the place dry bits of
bread, which even a coyote would have
scorned, he ate greedily. Then he
asked for a shovel and announced hia
intention to dig- up his donkey, as he
had found a sovereign remedy against
death. The shovel was given him, and,
though the beast had been interred
three or four days, the crazy man dis
interred the remains. He came back,
sij-ing- that the donkey refused to g-et
uy and live. The section men sent
word that they had an insane man on
their hands and feared he would die,
as he refused food. The conductor of
a freight train was ordered to take him
into Yuma, and essayed the task. The
wretched man would run like a deer
from his captors, offering- violence to
anyone who came near him. Finally
one man more astute than the rest said:
'Look here, the superintendent
wants to see you in Los Angeles and
pay you for the donkey you lost."
"If that is what you want me for I'll
come," he answered, "and if you prom
ise not to-tie me up I'll be quiet."
He was taken into Yuma, but all ef
forts to discover hi3 identity proved un
availing. A short time previously
another man came into Durmid raving
mad. His tongue was black, his eyes
rolled and glittered and he was in the
direst extremity. Water and food ju
diciously administered saved" his life.
Though his new found friends beg-g-ed
him not to follow the fascinations of
gold hunting he refused to listen to
reason, scorned the kindness of section
men, upbraided them for being slaves
and working for wag-es, and continued
his hopeless quest of illusive gold
fields.
BISMARCK'S MORTGAGES.
The Ex-Chancellor Devoting 33,000 a
Year to tho liquidation off lebts.
Nobody in Germany has felt the-evil
effects of the agricultural depression
more keenly than has Bismarck. To
persons who have read of the magnifi
cent presents given to Bismarck by the
old emperor it has been a surprise to
learn recently that his estates are
heavily mortgaged. His present from
the old emperor after the Austro-Prus-sian
war of 18G0 was $300,000, and with
this sum he bought his palace at Var
zin. After the Franco-Prussian war
he received from the same hands the
Saxon forest at Friedrichsruhe, valued
at $750,000. He inherited the ancestral
estate at Schoenhausen. On April 1,
1885, Bismarck's seventieth birthday,
his admirers throughout the world
gave him that, portion of the Schoen
hausen property which his father had
been obliged to sell when times were
hard. The money value of the gift
was some $100,000. Bismarck is also a
distiller, forester and the owner of a
large brick yard. Despite all these ad
vantages, however, says a writer in the
Home Journal, he has found it impossi
ble to lift the mortgages, amounting to
about $750,000, which have incumbered
his estates for many years. Of his
gross income more than $32,000 must
be devoted every year to paying the in
terest on his debts. The burden is not
agreeable to the old chancellor, and he
has often remarked to his friends re
cently that his ambition to leave an
unincumbered property to his children
would never be gratified.
Too Good a Joke.
Lord Bowen, an English judge, was
once tempted to sum up ironically. It
was the case of a burglar who had
been caught, having entered from the
roof and taken the precaution to leave
his boots on top. His defense was that
he was in the habit of taking midnight
strolls on the roofs of houses, and that
he was tempted by curiosity to have a
look at one of the interiors. Lord
Bowen said, sarcastically: "If, gentle
men of the jury, you think it probable
that the prisoner considered the roofs
of the houses a salubrious place for an
evening walk; if you suppose that the
temptation to inspect the interior of
the houses beneath him was the out
come of a natural and pardonable curi
osity, in that case, of course, you will
acquit him, and regard him as a
thoughtful and considerate man, who
would naturally remove his boots be
fore entering the house, and take
every precaution not to- disturb his
neighbors." To the judge's amazement,
the jury took him at his word and ac
quitted the prisoner. Lord Bowen
never attempted to joke with a jury
again.
FRENCH SOIL IN GERMANY.
Historic Spots That Did Not Uo with Al
sace and Lorrmine.
It is not generally known that the
French still retain two little pieces of
German soil one in Alsace itself and
the other in Baden. The monument
which Napoleon created, in 180ft in
honor of Gen. Desaix, who fell at Ma
rengo, stands in a small garden near
the bridge of boats over the Rhine at
Kehl. Desaix had defended the bridge
with great bravery against the Aus
trians. The monument and Garden
were declared by the peace of Frank
fort to be French property, and they
remain unto this day.
Till eleven years ago, says the Pitts
burgh Dispatch, this little piece of
French soil regularly had a French vet
eran as sentinel, who lived in a little
house in the well-kept grounds; but at
that time the German government of
fered to take charge of this piece of
France, and the offer was accepted by
the French government. The place is
now prettily laid out and is guarded
by a sentinel Irom the garrison at
Strasburg.
The property of the French republic
in the duchy of Baden lies in the par
ish of Achern, which has a station on
the Baden State railway. It is the site
of the Turenne monument, a granite
obelisk, with a medallion and inscrip
tion. The land on which the monu
ment stands has been French property
since 1675 till the present day, and it is
still guarded by a French military pen
sioner, who lives upon the spot.
At the beginning of the Franco-German
war in 1870, a party of Baden fire
eaters proposed to reclaim this small
piece of land, but .the Baden govern
ment, with a chivalrous international
loyalty, put a stop to the attempt.
A WISE ROBIN.
The Little Bird Got a Drink In a Very
Clever Manner.
That was a charming- object lesson
which was noticed in the yard at the
"Hickories." up Windsor avenue, in
Hartford, and it was an instruc
tive lesson in helping oneself tas
well. Midway between the house and
barn is located a large cask as a drink
ing place for the horses.
Usually, of course, this tub is nearly
full, but at the time referred to, the
water lacked quite a little of reaching
the top. Along came a robin, spinning
over the ground like mad, only stop
ping for a moment, as is his wont, to
listen. Beaching the tub ho quickly
vaulted to the edge. A look of disap
pointment was visible when he arched
his pretty neck so that one eye could
look down at the water. It was too
far away and the bird trotted around
quite ill at ease. The faucet was leak
ing just a trifle only a drop at a time
drop, drop, drop and the robin's eye
finally caught the crystals and the lit
tle fellow almost shouted for joy as he
danced around to that side of the tub.
Placing1 himself directly underneath
the outlet, he . threw back hi3 head,
opened his beak, and thereafter each
drop landed in his parched throat.
More than a dozen drops disappeared
down the narrow cnannel; then the
robin bowed his head just a little, so
that the cooling drops landed on the
top of it, and trickled downV on either
side. Then it flew away to a neighbor
ing tree, as content and happy as if at
peace with all the world.
UNCLE SAM, JUNK DEALER.
He Has a Price 1.1st of the Old Trumpery
lie Disposes Of.
Uncle Sam is a sort of second-hand
dealer and runs a good-sized junk shop
on his own hook. Not only that, says
the New York Advertiser, but he sends
out circulars to these of inquiring turn
of mind, with descriptions and price
lists of his wares, just as a second-hand
book dealer or postage stamp or coin
collector would do.
If a grand army post should conclude
to festoon the rafters of its armory
with old muskets and antique scab
bards it will find Uncle Sam right on
hand, for, though he has disposed of
all his heavy arms, he has innumerable
old pistols, muskets, bayonets and
sabers which he is not averse to dis
posing of at a fair price, and he will
promptly forward a printed price list
showing the comparative newness or
antiquity of his second-hand wares and
warranting the articles to be exactly
as represented and to fill the bill pre
cisely for decorative purposes. And
they are offered very cheap, too. One
can buy an .old sword, blood-stained
and full of memories of furious charges
and well-sustained assaults, for twenty-five
cents, a horse pistol for a dime
or a Spencer breech-loader for seven
dollars, other articles varying- to suit.
BABIES OF THE YEAR.
Their Cradles Would Form a Une Around
the World.
Couldthe infants of a year be ranged
in cradles, says a statistician, the cra
dles would extend round the globe.
The same writer looks at the matter in
a more picturesque light. He imagines
the babies being carried past a given
point in their mothers' arms, one by
one, and the procession being kept up
night and day until the last hour in the
twelve months had passed by.
A sufficiently liberal rate is allowed,
but even in the going past at the rate
of twenty a minute, twelve hundred an
hour, during the entire year, the re
viewer at his post would only have
seen the sixth part of the infantile host.
In other words, the babe that had to
be carried when the tramp began', would
be able to walk when but a mere fraction
of its comrades had reached the re
viewer's post, and when the year's sup
ply of babies was drawing to a close
there would be a rear guard, not of in
fants, but of romping six-year-old boys
and girls. This will be rather a start
ling calculation to the many who do
not dabble in figures. '
Cleverly Pnt.
It is said that Lord Campbell was
often overbearing and irritable. A
lawyer who had long struggled against
the chief justice's criticisms finally
folded up his brief and remarked: "I
will retire, my lord, and no longer tres
pass on your lordship's impatience."
HIS VISIT CUT SHORT.
An Indianapolis lady's Solicitude for the
Cleanliness of Her FrVndn.
A certain lady of. this c- y, who had
never been used to the luxury of life
until after her husband made a large
sum of money in the real estate busi
ness, moved into an elegant house
which had, among other conveniences,
a fine bathroom, says the Indianapolis
Sentinel. - It was her pride, and every
visitor was informed about the bath
room. Guests who came from a dis
tance were greeted with: "Now, I know
you are tired and dusty alter your long
journey; just go right up .to the bath
room and you can .have a refreshing
bath at once." This worked well in
most cases, but one day she made a
mistake. She went to the. door one
warm summer afternoon to find a young
gentleman friend of her husband's
from Louisville, and she took it for
granted that he was going to stay all
night. So her first words after shaking
hands with him were: "Now, you are
tired and dusty after your journey;
just go rig-ht up to the bathroom; a
bath will refresh you so." .
In vain the young man tried to ex
postulate; she had him by the arm and
started him up the stairway before he
could get in a word. In half an hour
he came down and took up his hat and
stick. "I thank you very much," he
said, "I enjoyed the bath very much."
Then he started for the door. "Why,
where are you going?" asked the
hostess. '"To catch my train." he an
swered; "I only had forty minutes to
stay and my bnth took halT an hour, so
I must hu:tlo now to catc!i She Chicago
train." This cured the lady of showing
off her bathroom.
Camels as Draught Animals.
A substitution of qamels as working
animals for horses and oxen has been
going; on for a few years past in sev
eral provinces of Russia, and they are
now common on many large estates
and on smaller properties. They per
form all the work in farming for which
horses and oxen are used, as weU as
being efficient in transportation. A
camel market has grown up at Oren
burg, and the animals bring sixty or
seventy roubles, or about thirty-five
dollars, delivered at Kiev.
How Spiders Works
Mr. H. H. Dixon has been studying
locomotion of insects and spiders by
means of instantaneous photographs.
He finds, says Nature, that the limbs
move together in diagonals. In insects
the first and third legs on one side move
With the second on the other, the an
tennae moving with the first leg on the
same side. In the case of spiders,
which have eight legs, the first and
third on one side move with the second
and fourth on the other.
