Deafness Cannot be Cored 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 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 We will give One Hundred Dollars for ny case of Deafness (caused by catanh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh vure. eena tor circulars, free.

INDIAN SINGERS. Their Vocalization Is Crude, But Highly Appreciated by Their Fellows. In an address delivered in Washing' ton, D. C, upon "Indian Music," Miss Alice Fletcher stated that the music of the Indians is solely and simply vocal. Their song's are compositions which have in them nothing' borrowed from instruments, nothing' of artificial instigation. An Indian melody never serves two sets of words; there is no instance where the people have a custom like our own of singing1 the different stan zas of a ballad to the same tune. A larg'e proportion of Indian songs are entirely without words, syllables being- used to carry the tones. Per haps the most striking- peculiarity of Indian music is the lack of definite pitch, for there is no such thing' as standard pitch among- the Indians. The Indian starts his song' where the natural quality of his voice and his present mood renders it easiest for him to sing- it. A tenor will naturally sing upon a higher pitch than a bass; soprano will differ from a contralto, The pitch of a song- depends upon the individual. With the Indian there has never been anything- we should caU vocal training' any drill as to pitch. Some Indians, like some white people, always sing' flat; while some Indians, like some of us, have what we caU natural musical ears, and they sing- in tones surprising-- ly near to our standards. Such Indians are recognized by their fellows as musical leaders. They are considered the best singers, men whose services are sought and paid for on oc casions of festivity. . WANTED TO USE PLATINUM. Interesting Experiment in Coinage Made by the Rossian Government. "Once upon a time," said Mr. C. O. Baker, Jr., of New York, who is con nected with the only platinum refining- plant in the United States, Russia concluded to try the experiment of using- platinum as a money metal, says the Washington Post. There is really little of that article found anywhere else on the globe except in the Ural mountains, in the czar's dominions, and having a monopoly of the precious stuff, the idea of using' it as a coin seemed plausible. But it didn't prove a glittering success, and I have never seen any coin made of platinum by that government dated later than 1844 Here is one of the . samples of the Russian experiment," said Mr. Baker, taking' from his pocket a piece about the size of a silver quarter. It bore the date 1830 and had some Russian characters on it signifying- it to be of the value of six rubles, or about 84.75 in American money. "I gave 811 for it, however," said Mr, Bakeit "and its intrinsic value is worth nearly that amount. Of course, no other nation would go in with Russia and take platinum for money, seeing that no other country produced any of it to speak of, which may be a tip to some of our silver friends. Platinum is lower than it was two years ago, be ing- worth now S10.50 an ounce, though a while back it was worth 17 an ounce. At its present price it is just about half as valuable as gold. It is the heaviest of metals, its specific grav ity exceeding- that of gold about 5 per cent., and so ductile that it can be drawn into a thread 1-1000 of an inch in diameter." HELPED THEM DIE EASY. Farmer L.each's Indorsement of the Hog Cholera Care. "In Nemaha county, southeastern Nebraska," said Representative Mercer, of Omaha, "there lives an old farmer named Rufus Leach. The hog cholera was raging' in the county and Leach's hogs were dying-fast, when along came a smooth-tongued fakir with a patent cholera cure for hoars. He showed Leach his g-oods, read him the ,direc- tions on the bottles, and sold him two or three bottles of the compound for five dollars. "Three or four weeks later Farmer Leach was standing- at his gate in the evening- when a well-dressed stranger, who was driving- by, hailed him. There was an air of desolation about the farm, a lull as of death, unrelieved by the musical bass grunts of a lot of contented hogs. " 'Good evening-, Mr. Leach.' called out the stranger, pulling- up at the gate. 'Good evening-,' said Leach. " 'You don't remember me, I see.' said the stranger. 'No, not exaetly,' said the farmer. " 'I sold you some cholera cure for your hogs a few weeks ago,' the stran ger explained. ' 'Oh, you re the man, are you?' said Leach, quietly. " 'Yes,' said the fakir, 'and, by the way, how did it work. " ' W ell,' said Leach, in his complacent style, 'I don't know that it done any good, except to make the hog's die a little easier.'" Two Very Old ladles. It is well known that women attain an extraordinary age of tener than men. One of the most celebrated female cen tenarians was Countess Desmond, who lived one hundred and forty-five years, and died in the reign of James I. as the result of an accident. This ex traordinary woman was, at the age of one hundred years, so active and lively that she used to take part in the dances with young- people.. At the age of one hundred and forty-five years she trav eled from Bristol to London, no small undertaking- in those days. Even this instance, however, is surpassed by the case of a French woman named Marie Prion, who died at St. Colombe at the age of one hundred and fifty years. Taxes In Germany. Instead of paying- taxes as ordinary mortals the eitizens of Klingenberg-on-the-Main, Germany, received each three hundred marks from the income from- several factories owned -by the town. The division was made after the expenses of administration had been . paid by money from the same source. That's one place where the politicians don't g-et it all. RUB THE OTHER EYE. Good Advice of an Engineer Regarding' the Removal of Cinders. Nine persons out of every ten with a cinder or any foreign substance in the eye will instantly begin to rub the eye with one hand while hunting- for their handkerchief with the other. They may and sometimes do- remove the of fending- cinder, but more frequently they rub until the eye becomes in flamed, bind a handkerchief around the head, and go to bed. This is aU wrong. The better way is not to rub the eye with the cinder in it at all, but rub the other eye as vigorously as you like, according to a writer in the Med ical Summary, who relates the follow ing experience: "A few years since I was riding- on the engine of a fast express. The en gineer threw open the front window, and I caught a cinder that gave me the most excruciating- pain. I began to rub the eye with both hands. 'Let your eye alone and rub the other eye' (this from the engineer). I thought he was chaffing me, and worked the harder. 'I know you doctors think you know it all, but if you will let that eye alone and rub the other one, the cinder will be out in two minutes,' per sisted the engineer. I began to rub the other eye; soon I felt the cinder down near - the inner canthus, and made ready to take it out. 'Let "it alone and keep at the well eye,' shouted the doctor pro tern. I did so for a min ute longer, and looking in a small glass he gave me found the offender on my cheek. Since then I have tried it many times, and have advised many others, and have never known it to fail in one instance, unless it was as sharp as a piece of steel or something' that cut into the ball and required an operation to remove it." SAWING WOOD. The Old Man Was Somewhat Unman Mature. Posted oa "Mornin', boys," said Old Jack, who believed in judicious flattery, and whose doings are reported in Harper's Young1 People. As he spoke he laid down his saw. "Feelin' well, I hope? Yes? Good. Nothm' lake feelin' well to make a feller feel good. You don't look powerful strong1 though, Tommy; you re thin. "What's that? You're wiry, be ye? I don t believe that. You couldn t saw one o' them sticks through. You kin? ilo: heein s beiievm I . "Why, ye kin saw purty well. Yer stronger'n ye look. I couldn't o' done that better myself. He beats you on sawin', I guess, Bobby. Eh? He can't? i es, he km, I believe. Beat ye all hol ler. What? You"ll saw ' two sticks quicker'n he sawed that? Nonsuns! "Hokey! ye went through that like lightnin'; but one stick ain't two sticks. No, sir. One ain't never two. Goin' to do the other? Well, well! Tommy, he's goin' to do the other; whatever you goin' to do? You'll do two? "Don't brag1, Bobby. Ain't braggin'? Ye'll do three? Waal, g-o ahead; don't let me interfere. Aflers glad to see bovs sDunkv. What! the hull lot sawed? Waal, I'm surprised. That bein' the case, 1 think 1 11 g-o indoors an rest. Sawin' allers did make me tired." ' The old man walked into the house, and Bobby and Tommy went home, wondering1 if their friend hadn't put up a little game on them, after all, THE CONSCIENCE FUND. Founded Early In This Century, It Mow Amounts to About S270.00O. The "Conscience Fund" has fig-ured in the statements of the treasury de partment for over eighty years, says F, Li. Crisman m ljippmcott s. it was opened by the register of the treasury department in 1811 and appears in the g-eneral fund of the g-ovornment under the head of miscellaneous receipts. Like other assets of the treasury it can be used for any purpose that congress may deem proper.- Its origin was due to the fact that away back in the- be ginning- of the present century some unknown person began to feel the sharp thrusts of conscience. In some way he had defaulted the government, and could find relief only by returning- the money to the treasury. This was the beginning- of. the account showing- the receipts of moneys by the government from unknown persons. Since then the fund has been accumulating' in larg'e and small sums, until at the present time it aggregates nearly $270,000. Re mittances are received nearly every week. During the prevalence of the hard times the receipts have fallen off considerably, and sometimes a fort night elapses before a communication is received, showing that even a man's conscience can feel the effect of tight money. DANGERS IN THE MINES. Small Fay for Men Who Are Likely at Any Time to Be Suffocated. Great and mystically dreadful is the earth from a mine's depth, says Mc- Clure s Magazine. Man is in the im placable grasp of nature. It has only to tighten slightly and he is crashed like a bug. His loudest shriek of agony would be as potent as his final moan to bring help from that fair land that lies, like heaven, over his head. .There is an insidious silent enemy in the gas. If the huge fanwheel on the top of the earth should stop for a brief period there is certain death, and a panic more terrible than any occurring where the sun has shone ensues down under the tons of rock. If a man may escape the gas, the floods, the "squeezes" of falling rock, the cars shooting through little tunnels, the precarious elevators, the hundred perils, there usually comes to him an attack of miners asthma .that slowly racks and shakes him into the graye. Mean while, he gets three dollars a day and his laborer one dollar. Guarded by Soldiers. The Bank of Germany, like ' most other German public buildings, has a military guard to protect it.
