DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion ot the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness ia caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
flamed von 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 ot ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Iollars for any
case of Deai ness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Bend for

SOME LARGE FIGURES
NECESSARY WHEN SPEAKING OF
OUR FARMING INDUSTRY,
Wheat Crop of 1898 Would Have Made
Nearly Ten of the Pyramids Our
American Forefathers Were Poor
Tillers of the Soil.
Joseph, son of Jacob, had to ware
house a good deal of wheat in the seven
fat years to carry the Egyptians
through the seven lean ones. . The
American farmers produced enough in
1898 to make Joseph's little stock look
like a pea in a tub. If it had all been
piled in form on the plain of Gizeb it
would have made nine pyramids the
size of the pyramids of Cheops, and
with the surplus another could have
been rearer four-fifths as large. That
was the biggest American wheat crop
ever recorded. It amounted to 675,148,
705 bushels, grown on'44,045,278 acres
of land. Next year the yield was light
er, and the Americans only turned off
seven and nine-tenths pyramids of
wheat In 1900 they even fell short of
that, producing only a paltry seven and
a half pyramids. Still, that would have
been a comfortable addition to Joseph's
stock, and considering that it was
grown on a smaller acreage than the
crop of 1899 was a rather creditable
performance. The deficiency was made
up with a 2,000,000,000-bushel corn
crop, and 210,000,000 bushels of pota
toes. There was considerable ado over the
Increase of the standing army to 100,-
000 men. If every man in such an army
were a good fast milker, and worked at
It ten hours a day, the whole force
couldn't milk more than one-third of the
cows that are now being milked in this
country not to speak of the goats.
And If they could milk them all, and
if they did, and if they milked them
into the Chicago drainage canal, be
ginning with It entirely empty, they
could milk it bankful in about two
weeks.
If all the hens in this country were
to be consolidated, like some of our
other manufacturing establishments,
Into one hen, and that hen were to lay
an egg with the cubic contents of all
the eggs laid daily on American soil,
that egg would be as big as well, it
would be a very large egg. A chick
hatched from it ought to be able to
peck wheat off the dome of the national
capitol. In 1890 there were 258,871.125
chickens In the country, and during the
year 819,722,916 dozen eggs were pro
duced and sold.
When somebody deprecated a billion
dollar Congress Mr. Reed, retorted that
It was a billion-dollar country. It is.
The millions period Is no longer ade
quate to express the magnitude of our
manufactures, our trusts, our fortunes
and our farming Industry.
The acreage of American farms in
1890 was greater than the combined
acres of France, Germany, Austria,
Italy and the British Isles. The value
of their realty was $13,279,252,649, and
the tools and Implements on them rep
resented an outlay of nearly half a
billion more. They produced over $3,
500,000,000 worth of food and raw ma
terial. The value of their exports in
1899 was $792,811,733, or more than
half the value of the entire exports of
the country by $42,000,000. The growth
of this industry had the most primitive
beginnings, and has gone forward in
the face of the most discouraging vicis
situdes, says Frank M. Todd, in Ains
lee's. The American of the revolutionary
period was an extremely poor farmer.
Looking back on his methods and his
work, it is hard to say which were the
more crude, his implements or his
ideas.
He used a wooden plow; he was
afraid an Iron one would "poison the
soil." He had not yet learned that
glanders was contagious, and would
work and stable healthy stock along
side stock affected by it, and wonder
what there was in the soil, air or cli
mate that carried them off. He didn't
understand the use of fertilizers, and
instead of spreading his barnyard ma
nure on his fields, he let it accumulate
around his barn until the approaches
were impassable. Then he dug the barn
out and moved it. Instead of rotating
crops to save his soil, he planted ac
cording to the phases of the moon.
There were few sheep In the country,
and other like stock was poor and
scanty. In Virginia the belief pre
vailed that it would kill cows to house
and milk them In the winter.
Transportation was poor and contin
ued so for a long time. The roads could
not have been worse. Markets were
scattered and far between. Each farm
attempted to be self-sustaining !n as
large a degree as possible. What the
farmer couldn't grow r his wife make
they went without. Wasteful methods
of tillage eventually exhausted a soil
originally rich, and in the reign of An
drew Jackson agriculture had fallen
Into such an alarming state of neglect
and Inefficiency that the government
had to come to Its relief. Through the
efforts of Henry L. Ellsworth, Com
missioner of Patents, a bureau was es
tablished In the patent office which de
veloped Into the Department of Agri
culture. By aid of that department
principally farming has been made a
science.
CURIOSITIES ON RAILWAY TRIP.
Experiences Met With by a Man Trav
eling Around the Globe.
A globe-trotter sends some remark
ably Interesting notes of a journey
round the world to the Pall Mall Maga
zine. He says: I traveled from Na
gasaki to Yokohama, in Japan, without
a break in the journey. The distance
is 700 miles, and the best trains re
quire exactly forty-eight hours for the
trip. Of these six hours are occupied
in crossing the Inland Sea by boat The
first-class fare Is 2 5d, second class 1
4s and third class one-half of the sec
ond. Only an occasional train has a
dining car or a sleeping car attached
to it
Like everything else In Japan, the
railway carriages are toylike, usually
have only two or three compartments.
In the dining cars you eat from tables
hardly larger than little girls have for
their dolls. At all stations, which are
frequent, you can buy freshly made tea
for three-halfpence pot, cup, tea and
alL This yon take In the car, and the
dishes are thrown out of the window
usually. Europeans dislike the - pre
pared luncheons sold in boxes. " They
consist mainly of boiled rice and under
cooked fish.
Smoking is permitted in all compart
ments, for all Japanese men and women
smoke almost continually. A native
lady enters the carriage, slips her feet
from her tiny shoes which have wood
or rice-straw soles, stands upon the
seat and then sits down demurely with
her feet doabled beneath her. A mo
ment later she lights a cigarette or her
little pipe, which holds just tobacco
enough to produce two good whiffs of
smoke. All Japanese people sit with
their feet upon the seat of the car, and
not as Europeans do. All of them have
first removed their shoes; When the
ticket collector attired in blue uniform
enters the carriage he removes his
cap and twice bows politely. He re
peats the bow as he comes to each pas
senger. More than 90 per cent of all
the travel in Japan is third-class, and
about 2 per cent only is first-class.
Nearly all the locomotives are English.
The British government conducts a
turtle farm at Ascension Island. Janu
ary in each year sees the commence
ment of the turtle season, which does
not as a rule last more than three
months. All turtles caught at Ascen
sion Island are the property of the
crown and are only sent to England and
other places for disposal a directed
by the admiralty, in whose hands the
government of the whole island prac
tically rests. The particular species
which favors Ascension with its visits
is the green turtle, from whose green
fat and portion of the fins that particu
lar brand of soup is made which is pro
verbially associated with the banquets
of London's civic dignitaries.
Many people still smile when they
hear travelers talk of oysters that grow
on trees, just as; long ago, sailors were
laughed, at when they came home with
stories of flying fish.- Both are real
enough, however, and the tree oyster
is of delicious taste, If voyagers through
the tropics are to be believed. At a
conference recently held in Barbados
J. E. Duerden, of Jamaica, an economic
scientist of some note, brought forward
an interesting proposal for increasing
and improving the cultivation of tree
oysters, and as there is a rich field in
nearly all the West India Islands and
along the coast of Central America
something may come of the scheme.
These oysters cling to the branches of
the mangrove.
When the English rooks are building
their nests frequently a rookery Is dis
turbed by big quarrels over the plac
ing of those huge bundles of sticks in
the treetops. The trouble occurs most
ly with young birds wishing to place
their nests too near to an old nest. A
council of rooks is called, with the re
sult that the disputants' nests are soon
scattered to the winds, and the claim
ant and the defendant both have to be
gin a new foundation. Sometimes there
is a disturbance on a more limited scale
when a pair of birds do their very best
to pull the sticks from the nest of an
other pair, each of the contending par
ties doing all they can to prevent the
other from building. Rooks are curi
ously weather wise and they scent a
coming storm and set to work to re
pair and strengthen their nests before
that imminant gale has been evident to
the farmer. The rook's powers of sight
and hearing are remarkable.
When Baby Writes to Daddy.
When baby writes a letter to her daddy
far away,
The occasion's most important, for she
has so much to say.
She sits up to the table, as grown-up
folks all do,
And then a pile of paper all around her
we must strew.
With grandma's golden spectacles safe
perched upon her nose,
She dips her pen into the ink, then
straight to work she goes,
And the onslaught fierce that follows
would fill you with dismay
When baby writes a letter to her daddy
far away.
"Baby sends her love to daddy, and hopes
that he is well,"
Is the sentence baby first indites her
methods I must tell
For the sweet and simple message that
expresses baby's love '
Is a dot and dash and big ink splash
below and just above,
She perforates the paper with many tiny
pricks,
And plays a tattoo on her chair with sun
dry little kicks,
And all the floor is scattered o'er with
fragments of the fray,
To tell us baby's writing to her daddy
far away.
. The letter is a long one, for scores of
sheets are used,
And every one bears witness to the way
it's been abused.
A page for every word she takes, she
quite ignores the lines.
While each one as it's written to oblivion
she consigns;
Then proudly for an envelope Miss Baby
now will call,
And she fills it full of paper, with no
writing on at all.
The address is so illegible, I much regret
to say.
It's doubtful if 'twill ever reach dear
daddy far away.
