When this tube (eta In flamed yon have a rumbling; sound or imper fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma tion can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out oi ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed ' condition oi the mucous surfaces.

The Archbishop of Dublin recently performed a marriage in the family of a wealthy Irish distiller. After the breakfast the distiller thanked tbe Archbishop effusively for his share of the proceedings, and said to him as be took leave, "Tbe Lord be with you." "And with thy spirit," is reported to have been the rejjinder. Oscar Wilde's last bequest was char acteristic of his genius for inversions. When told that be must undergo an operation, he said at first that he could not afford the fee. Tbe point was pressed by the French surgeons. "Very well," said the patient, with a flash from the asbes of his old spirit,. "I must die beyond my means." "British Museum Newton, the archaeologist, was a capital story teller," says A. J. C. Hare, In his "Story of My Life." He was once at a spiritualistic seance, where an old cockney was informed that the spirit manifested was his deceased wife, whereupon tbe following dialogue took place: "Is that you, 'Arriet?" "Yes, it Is me." "Are you 'appy, 'Arriet?" "Yes, very 'appy." " 'Appier than you was with me, 'Arriet?" "Yes, much 'appier." "Where are you, 'Arriet?" "In 'ell." On one occasion, during a visit to America, Michael Gunn, who assisted Gilbert and Sullivan In bringing out many of their operas, was trying the voices of some candidates for the chorus. One of them sang in a sort of affected Italian-broken-English. The stage manager interrupted. "Look here," he said, "that accent won't do for sailors or pirates. Give us a little less Mediterranean, and a little more Whltechapel." Here Gunn turned and said, "Of what nationality are you? You don't sound Italian." The other, suddenly dropped his Italian accent, and in Irish said, "Shure, Mr. Gunn, I'm from the same country as your self."' - Robert Barr relates that once, speak ing with Bret Harte, he upheld the rigid life Henry Thoreau had led at Walden Pond, as compared with the luxurious surroundings of many mod ern authors. Barr advocated a return to the simpler habits of our ancestors. "Yes," Harte replied, "living on parch ed peas sounds very fine in a book. When I visited Emerson I was aston ished to find how close Walden Pond. was to the Emerson homestead, and I commented on this. I had imagined that the pond was away out in the wilderness, miles from any human hab itation. Before Emerson could reply, Mrs. Emerson spoke up in the tone of a woman exposing a humbug: 'Oh, yes, Henry took good care not to get out of hearing of our dinner horn.' " An anecdote of Gladstone is set down by Sir Wemyss Reid in the new Anglo Saxon. Reid tells how, on one occa sion, ten years ago, he sat opposite Mr. Gladstone at dinner, and noticed that the side of his face was severely bruised and cut. The explanation was interesting. Mr. Gladstone had been to call, a few evenings before, upon Lord Granville, who was then very ill, In returning he took a short ' cut through some of the alleys of Mayfair, and in passing along one narrow street he slipped off the pavement and, losln. his balance, fell at full length upon the road. "I lay there stunned for a min ute at least," he added, in his deep, sonorous voice, "and though a great many people passed no one came to my assistance or took the slightest notice of me. I suppose they thought I was drunk." SLOW OF ATTAINMENT. The Pur nit of Fame Is a Lone, Tedi ous Chase, Fame Is a thing, frequently, of slow achievement. The excellence of an actor must be repeatedly declared and most positively asserted before the public In general can be brought to consider him seriously, no matter bow seriously be may take himself; and, though he may have come to some thing of a safe place in the esteem of a few, the wavering majority are so re luctantly brought to the door of the theater that, like Irving or Jefferson, the player's hair may have grown gray before the skeptical nobodies deign to bestow 'upon him their begrudged ap probation. - Cibber, you know, pronounced Gar rick "well enough," and Foote rounded out things with the malicious remark that the "hound" had something In him, "but If his excellence," he as ex pressed it, "was to be examined, he would not be found In any part equal to Golley Cibber's Sir John Brute, Lard Foppington, Sir Courtly Nice or Justice Shallow." This was when Garrick was a young, and, according to Pond's portrait, a very handsome fellow, his years not more than 25, and his beauty such as to have attracted the envy of the Idols of the town. Foote's compart son was made, not out of any justice to Cibber, whom he did not like, but sim ply through ill-will to Garrick, whose rising influence he feared. Rosclus, it is said, had a squint in his eye, and Churchill, with others, found fault with Garrick's littleness of person. and laughed at his airs and ridiculed his pretentions., Quinn was a better Falstaff than Garrick was a Lear, said this determined detractor, and "old Johnson", far more natural in every thing he attempted. So, .to follow Hor ace's description,. Mrs. Porter sur passed him In passionate tragedy, Cib ber and O'Brien were beyond his reach as coxcombs and men of fashion, Mfs. Cllve more perfect in low comedy, and yet Ranger, he admitted, was the part that suited Garrick better than any thing he had ever performed. He was. If Walpole is to be believed, a poor Lo thario, a ridiculous Othello, Inferior to Quinn in Sir John Brute and Macbeth and to Cibber In Bayes, and a woeful Lord Hastings and Lord Townley. The town, according to this distinguished critic, did not like him In "Hotspur, and yet he said, "I don't know If he did not succeed in It beyond all the rest" "I saw 'King Lear' the last time he played it," continues -Sir Horace, "and as I told him, I was more shocked at the rest of the company than pleased with him." Despite his squint, however, Cicero studied oratory with Rosclus, and- Churchlll was finally brought to de clare:: "Hence to thy praises, Garrick, I agree, And, pleased with nature, must be pleased with thee." GOT RID OF THE TARANTULA. Ex pre UesMnger Took the Beat Meana of Diepoainic of It. A young man wearing a seersucker coat and with big beads of perspiration on his face came into the smoking car of an Erie railway train as it was get ting along toward the meadows of Or ange County the other day. He was an express messenger. "I've bagged something," he exclaim ed. "Can anyone tell me what kind of a puy It is?" A big man, with long whiskers'and hair and a cowboy's hat, who was smoking strong plug tobacco In a clay pipe, said: "Lemme see It." The young man -held the dinner buck et at arm's length and raised the lid. The big man looked into the bucket. "A f rantuly, by cedar!" he said, and took the bucket from the young man. "A t'rantuly, as sure as guns!" be continued. "A citizen of Bermudy, this chap Is. And a beauty, too!" The big fat man got out of his seat and passed the dinner pail around among the passengers. It was nearly half-full of something that seemed to be all hair and claws and eyes. So one seemed pleased with the sight except the big man. It was a tarantula sure enough. A unanimous request was made by the rest of the passengers that the hid eous spider be pitched out of the win dow. But the big man gazed at the deadly thing with undisturbed interest. "Where did you run ag'in him?" he asked the express messenger. "Came out of a bunch o' bananas In my car," replied the young man. "1 cornered him and he jumped Into my dinner bucket and I shut him in. What is he good for?" , "He's a first-class benefactor of the coroner when he's to home," said the big.man. "If there's any feller citizen of your'n that you'd like to see have a funeral at his house, just take this stowaway from Bermuda home . with you and turn him in your fellow citi zen's garden. If your feller citizen fools arouud much In his garden you'll see crape on his door In less than two days The t'rantuly is pizen for keeps to them as hain't vaccinated for t'rautu lies. If I was you, young man, I'd take this chap and let your locomotive run over him. A good, strong locomotive is about the only thing that kin tackle one o' these chaps and make a success of it." The bag man handed the dinner buck et to its owner, who took it and carried It away. When the train left the next station he came in and said that the train had met the tarantula, and that twenty feet of grease spot and a pint or so of legs and hair had indicated that the locomotive had won. New York Times. Her Antelope. Stalking antelope among the Rockies may have its humorous as well as Its thrilling side. Says Mrs. Seton-Thomp-son, in "A Woman Tenderfoot:" We tied our horses on a dizzy height, and stole, Nimrod with a carbine, I with a rifle, along a treacherous, shaly bank which ended twenty feet below In the steep, rocky bluffs that formed the face of the cliff. A misstep would have sent us flying, but I did not think of that. My only care was to avoid startling the shy. fleet-footed creatures we pursued. I hardly dared to breathe. Every muscle and nerve was strained with long sus pense. . Suddenly I clutched NImrod's arm, and pointed at an oblong, tan-colored bulk fifty yards above us on the moun tain. "Antelope! Lying down!" I whis pered. Nimrod nodded, and motioned me to go ahead. I crawled nearer, inch . by Inch, my gaze riveted. It did not move. I grew more elated. It was not so hard to approach an antelope, after all. I felt astonishingly pleased at my per formance. Then, rattle! crash! and a stone went bounding down. I raised my rifle to get a shot before the swift animal should go flying away, "it was strangely still. I stole a little nearer, and then turned and went gen tly back to Nimrod. He was convulsed with silent laughter. My elaborate stalk had been made on a nice buff stone. Calculator with Two Brains.

From the Pot!, Columbia City, Ind. The every day drudgery of tbe house wue is extremely wearing upon her sensitive and frail nature. Many are prematurely broken down in health, their cherished hopes blasted, their home-life unhappy, because of the constant tare and worry of house work. Tbat home is indeed fortunate in which the wife is in perfect health and able to do her own work, in fact such a home is a rarity. Mrs. George Ilea ton, who lives near Columbia City, Ind., says: "During the early part of the winter of 1896 we had a great deal of sick ness in tbe family, and it being impos sible to find a suitable girl to do my housework, I had to do considerable extra. My daughter and two sons were confined to their beds with the grip. 'I had a great many clothes t wash, and I did the washing in th summer kitchen, adjoining our regular one, without any fire. As a result I was attacked with sciatic rheumatism. At first 1 did not give much heed to it. "It kept growing worse, however, and in the course of two or three months I was unable to do any work. By this time my daughter had recov ered sufficiently to get along very well with the housework. "One night my husband was gone from home over night on business, and, my daughter being overburdened, with work, I concluded to milk the cows, which I did much against her wiahna. My limbs were so badly affected that i could narclly get to the barnyard, and my bands and fingers were in such a condition that it was with great diffi culty that I used them. "I was worse than ever after this, and I was confined to my bed for more than ten weeks. "It seemed that every muscle in my body pained me, and my condition was a critical one. The physican failed to benefit me, and I became discouraged "I was prevailed upon to try Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which I did with wonderful results. lhey began helping me at once, and when I had taken five boxes I was cured. "My appetite is again good, lost flesh nas oeen restored. 1 spent the sum mer in the best of health, and can now do as much work as ever. 1 have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills fir Pale People to a number of my neighbors, who are also using them with satisfactory results."
