How to Keep House.
With all the luxuries and pleasures
of this life, its big enjoyments and its

may be, the risk is that they will grow
to something greater and rack the sys
tem with constant torture. There is
nothing, therefore, of this kind that we
hare a right to trifle with. Taken in
time, the worst forms of aches and
pains are easily subdued and cured by
the free use of St. Jacobs Oil. No
. well regulated household ought to be
without a bottle of this great remedy
for pain. It is the specific virtue of
penetration in St. Jacobs Oil that car
ries it right to the pain spot and effects
a prompt cure even in the most painful
cases of Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sciat
ica, Lumbago. You want it also in
the house at all times for hurts, cuts
and wounds, and the house that always
has it keeps up a sort of insurance
against pain.

"Oh, thanks! How long will you re

"Only a short time."
"Is your wife with you?"
"No, ma'am, she is not"
"Where is she, may I ask?"

LIKE A SPONC
Some of the most stubborn diseases enter
into the system through the pores of the rkin.
Like a sponge, it absorbs poisons of various
kinds, which are taken up by the little blood
vessels beneath the surface of the body, and
emptied into the great current of the blood.
The juices of poison oak and other noxious
wild plants percolate through the skin like water through a sponge, ars
taken into the circulation, breaking out afresh each season, and linger

Dye Poisoning among the employes of dye houses, and from wear

I " Freefone Stone In America. '
"It im a UttIe strange," said Irving
fj Russell, "that the United States,
so far ahead In national resources of
every other part of the globe In all
essential things, should be so deficient
as a producer of precious stones. I
am of the opinion that there will be
a big discovery some day of the most
: va,ued sems, probably In some out
i of the way corner of the land."
I do not mean to intimate that we
are exactly destitute of fine stones, but
that those found are mostly of inferior
quality as compared with the output
of the old mines. In North Carolina
a good many emeralds and rubies and
sapphires are to be had, but they are
not -of sufficient value to warrant cut
ting. Some very fine pearls have been
taken, out of the shells picked up in
the streams of Arkansas, and at one
time the search for them down there
amounted to a craze. Pearls, by the
way, have gone up in price from 200
to 300 per cent in recent years.
A great many semi-precious stones

Deafness Cannot Be Cored '
by local application as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. Tnere is only one
tray to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucons lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely 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 forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the-mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for

Sitting In the little waiting room of

were silent They had evidently been
pondering over the words of the judge.
