make war unavoidable, and that tho ex

pose of tho president to make congress

dealing with the Cuban question which
may result in war. Ho believes the in-

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can lie tnken

During the Elizabethan period there
grew up in England a great national
liking for nweet things. Xot merely
was this aeon in the general taste for
sugar ciriliture, but it was manifested
in the general demand for cweet wines,
the rich (.berries, the churneco, the
sack, the sugary almond-flavored sack
posset, and other drinks of the same
class. In drinking, as in eating, the in
crease of appetite for sugar grew by
what it fed on. Though not n sweet
meat in the strict sense of the term.
"sack-posset" so largely represented
the taste of that time for sweetness and
flavor that the recipe of Sir Fleetwood
Shepherd, given by Mr. Howard Staun
ton in his Shakcf-'pcare notes, is worth
quoting: "To make a t-uck-popsct.
Take two quarts of pure good cream
and a quarter of a pound of the best al
monds. Stamp them in the cream and
boil with amber and musk therein.
Then take a pint of puck in a basin and
set if on a chafing dish till it be blood
warm. Then take the yolks of 12 eggs,
with four of their whites, and beat
them well together; nnd so put the
rggs into the uack. Then stir all to
;cther over the coals till it is as thick
is you would have it. If you now take
,ome amber and musk and grind the
mine quite small with sugar and strew
his on top of your posset, I promise
,-oti (hat it uhall have a most delicate
ind pleasant taste." There was nn
ither mixture of the same class called
'rambooz," made of eggs, ale, wine and
sugar. -

"How? Tell me about it," questioned
the host.
"Well, this man I speak of was the
champion stingy man of our country,
lie kept 'i good-sized wooden ring in his
pocket, ami when he went to the store
to buy eggs lie would try every one of
those eggs in the ring. If tlioy wore
small enough to go through the ring" lie
would not take them. He bought noth
ing but large eggs, you see. He believed
in getting everything possible for his
money."
"I never heard of such a thine;,"
ejaculated the St. Louis man.
"Of course you didn't," said the vis
itor. ".Nobody else ever heard of such
meanness. Why, he used to ijivc his
children a nickel apiece to iro to bed
