little r.ickiug chair across the room
the other day, when, somehow, in

her dog. Prince and elicited a
w growl of reproach from that
iv-'cii valued member ol the family
" A look of dismay crossed the
. baby's face and she turned hastily.
''Excuse, me, Prince,'' she pleaded
as she laid her suowfluke of a hand
caressingly on the doj's head.
Prince thumped his tail heavily as
if to say, "It's all right my dear
little mistress: I know it was all
an accident."
Ah, w!iy is there not more of it
in the world, we wonder thut
spirit which hesittites to wound
the feelings of even a dog, which
has a tender and kindly care for
the humblest of God's creation. In
old times people believed that if a
man could tame the birds so they
would eat from his hand he had
given evidence that he was beloved
of God. And. the quaint theory was
not altogether witboot weight He
who cares for the little birds and
supplies the r needs has something
in his heart akin to the nature of
t he loving Father who hears the
ery of the young ravens and whose
pitying eye sees the fall of the tint'
i-st sparrow.
is when a certain member of a
family enters the house the cat
shrinks away and the dog cowers as
if expecting a How, we haverecived
BOine important evidence against
his character, though not a word
has been spoken. He is destitute
of those finer feelings which link
God's great family together. And on
the other hand, a little child whose
heart is full of love to created things
seems to bring the kingdom of
heaven nearer us. Blesdngs on

no longer find sympathy in their

responsible for the hard times,

we may expect the populist to
claim that the good times are the

because, a republican president will
be elected next year. The people
will decide who is right, if any one

Deafness Cannot be Cured.
by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. T lie re is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by aonstitntional remedies, Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the .Eustachian Tube.
When the tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect bearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness Is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but au inflamed
conditiou of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case -of deafness, caused by catarrh,
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
