It Brings Independence and Opportnnity for Engaging In Business. "If some one should ask, 'What is to be gained by learning a trade?' the answer first suggesting itself would be to show that a skilled worker an ar tisan or mechanic earns two, three or even four times as much wages in the same number of hours or days as an un skilled laborer one who does work that requires no special training," writes Barton Cheyney in the February Ladies' Home Journal. 'the services of a skilled worker ore also in more constant demand, and while he earns two or three times as much per hour, he has longer periods of work and less enforced idleness than the unskilled laborer. The possession of a trade gives a com forting sense of security and indepen dence, for one thus skilled is always sure of a comfortable livelihood, and with economy, a competency for the declining years of his life, and besides, he has var ious opportunities of engaging in profit i able business for himself.

Deafness Cannot be Cared by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.. There is only one way to care deafness and that is by constitutional remedies 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 be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine ca&ds out of ten are caused. by catarrh, which is nothing but an in named condition ol tne mucous sur faces.

During the recent book sale in this city, says the Chicago Chronicle, there were many calls for Henryx Sienkie- wicz's Quo Vadis. One girl appeared with a card bearing this : "Q wadiz," by "Stinkwitz." Another reader asked for "Two Waders," by "Sinkers," while a third demanded "That book by the man whose name ends in "itch." "While the sale was going on a wom an asked a cash girl: "Can you find 'David Copperfield?' " "I'll see," said the girl, and disap peared. She presently returned and said: "No, mum. He don't work here no more. Another customer at the sale was a woman wno drove up in heL- carnage. She explained to the clerk that she had just moved into her own house. "The library," she said, js one by twentv and the shelves run around the whole shootin' match." She looked at the stock of books and sweeping her hand over a lot of shelving containing about 1,500. volumes, she said"; "Send those books up." As the assortment contained broken sets, odd ' volumes, duplicates and paper covered novels, her "library" will be a motley collec tion. . WALKED 205,920 MILES. Remarkable Record of m. Postman Who Haa Just Retired. A Mr. Eoberts, for 33 years a postman of Pilling in the Fj-lde, North Lanca shire, has just retired, reports the Lon don Mail. For 22 years he walked from Pilling to Fleetwood and back twice a day, not to mention many perilous trips in crossing the river Wyre during pe riods of storm. A calculation of five miles each way, four times a day (in addition to his round at the village), six days in the week, for 22 years, shows that he walked 137,280 miles-between Pilling and Fleetwood in the fulfillment of his duty. During this time he must have crossed the river Wyre (a by no means pleasant task in the winter time) 7,457 times. His duties were consid erably lightened when 11 years ago the government decided to bring Ahe mails to Pilling by another route. Though this did away with crossing the river it did not reduce the distance Postman Roberts had to walk very much. In cluding the village delivery, he must in his 33 years of service have walked no less than 205,920 miles. Wood Wood Wood.
