Catarrhal Deafness Permanently

GESTLENEN:. About two and half years ago
I commenced treating my little granddaughter,
aged wears, Tor Deafness caused by Catarrh,
with your RADICAL CURE. She was relieved by
Il ha1f~bottle taken in Limitations. She contjn-
ued using it until the bottle was finished, and
we i1ud that she is permanently cured as she
has no return Of the deafness. She has been
deaf from her Sd or 4th year every time she had

Eastern Bazaars-

carried on with an immense amount of
chaffering. the scene was very lively.
Small shops, hardly larger than six by
eight or ten feet, for the sale of goods
or the use of mechanics, are also scat
tered through the city. But the prin-
cipal traffic seems carried on in the ba-
zaar-those dealing in similar articles
constituting one bazaar.

the work is-nOt done, because the di-
yer is compelled to return and attach
chains to the fragments, by which they
are elevated to the deck by a crane, and
thence transferred to barge alongside.
The work is necessarily slow and tedi-
GUS from the repeated trips the diver is
compelled to make and from the fact he
must handle each fragment of the rock
separately and do it alone. Since the
commencement Of the work in August
some 275 cubic yards have been reno

serious distractions, has been blown to
pieces, and work is now going on upon

of a sunken coal barge still remains in

and it is feared bar is forming clos
by. The object of blowing out the Gar

the current aud construct q channel at
that particular poinnt. The plan is to
build a dixie, or wing, about a mile in
length here, and thereby create more
current to drive away any sand forma-
tions that may take place sitter the rock
has been eXcavated. In addition to the
dam spoken Of, which will ''run in"

similar dixie will be built below. 1t is

He didn't Like the Soup.

The free lunches of New York are
among the good things prepared by the
publicans of that city that are not TO be
despised; nor are they, especially by the
class known as the ''bummer. The
free lunches at which soup is first
served seem TO take the strongest hold
on the popular appetite, as, to use one
Of the lamented dickens expressions,
It is more filling for the price'-the
price being six cents for glass of ale.
or ten cents for something stronger.
There is in Beekman street saloon IA
nous for its soup, which, a a general
thing, is kept on the table all day; but
at times it runs out. The proprietor is
a kind-hearted man, and never refuses
even though he be not able to buy a
drink. unless he becomes too frequent a
customer at the same place. An old
fellow, who is fast becoming tramp,
has of late been in the habit of calling
in for his soup. aud has never yet spent
a cent in the house, but the caterer al
ways gives him plate. Recently the
old fellow was late for lunch, and, as is
sometimes the case, the soup was out.
He asked the barkeeper for some, when
the painful piece eofinformation wa. i'm
parted to him. The caterer. who had
just gone out short time before, had
left his large tureen on the table, emp
ty of soup, but upon the top of which
fioated few scraps of bread and yege-
tables. The tramp saw the steam rising
from the tureen, and, thinking that the
barkeepcr wanted to defraud him out of
his square meal" he slyly slipped
round to the lunch table. and, dishing
out a plate of the soppy mess, he sea-
soned it well, and then, breaking up a
few crackers in il, he hurriedly gulped
down few mouthfuls. The act was
noticed by some of the bystanders, and
from his appearance after the dose of
suds they thought he was going to have
a fit. His face turned different colors
with which 4 chameleon changes. His
eyes stood out from their sockets, and
he gasped as if in mental agony; but
this thing could not last long-nature
finally revolted at the soap-suds, and the
hero of a thousand free lunches was re-
lieved. He did not ask leave TO quit the
saloon, but walked out without even
saving so much is Thank you," or
"Good-day - but before he passed
through the door, he was heard tomut
ter Il don't like such jokes, and sha
patronize this place no more"

Touched Her Heart.

One morning woman living on Ma
poleon street was seen on tie walk in
front of the gate, heaving the snow
right and left, and she had only got
fairly settled to work when boy loung-
ed up and remarked:
''I'll clear off the walk for ten cents.
81 guess I'm able to do it, she re-
piled.
"But see how it looks" he continued,
"Here you are, perfect lady in locks
and action, highly educated. and yet
you grovel in the dust, as it were, to
save the pitiful sum of ten cents"
"You grovel along and mind your
own business, she curtly replied, still
digging away.
sits worth ten cents" he said, aS he
leaned against the fence, ''but I'm Il
fellow with some sentiment in my bos-
som. Noy We'll say five cents, or just
enough to cover wear and tear o. my
bones. Give me the shovel and vOu
go in, get on your seal skin sacque and

stand out here and boss around, and
talk as if you owned the biggest half of
North America, while | had nothing
and was in debt for that"
She looked at him sharply, saw that
he was i'm earnest, aud when she passed
over the shovel she put two nickels into
his hand. He looked after her as she
went in, and then sadly mused.

TWILIGHT.

Child, go and pray-for see the night is here
Through cloudy riffs the golden lights appear
The hills faint outline trembles in the mist:
Scarcely is heard distant chariot-list
The world at rest the tree beside the way
Gives 10 the evening wind the dust OF day.
Twilight unlocks the hidin g place OF stars /;
The gleam and glow behind nights shadow
bsrs.
The fringe Of earn ne narrows in the west
The moonlit water lies In shin ng rest
Furrow and footpsth melt and disappear
The anxious traveller doubts the far and near.
1t is the hour when angels stop far and near,
To bless our babes amid our careless mirth !;
The little ones with eyes appraised in prayer,
With tiny, folded hands and white feet bare,
Ask at this. this twilight hour blessing dear.
OF Him who loves His little ones to hear.
Then, while they sleep a cloud Of golden
dreams
Born in the calm oil days declining beams,
Waiting in shadow till the hour OF night;
Fly to each couch and scatter visions bright,
AS joyous bees seek honey-laden flowers,
Dreams hover near In slumbef's quiet hours
o cradled sleep, o prayers Of childhood blest
o bsby-voice. speaking leving breast,
Thy happy prayer the darkness maketh light.
Turneth to song the solemn sounds OF night.
As meath his wing the birdie hides his head.
Thou shelterest by the prayer thy cradle-bed-

Inheritance Of Disease.

The predisposition to certain disea-
ses, like gOut or insanity, often devel-
oped after maturity, is transmissable
and also the liability to die about a
certain age. The famous Turgots, for
more than a century rarely exceeded
fifty years of age; and insanity often
appears after the meridian Of life in
several successive generations of a
family. The remarkable faithfulness
of reproduction in the majority of ca
ses is fact somewhat parallel to the
growth and maintenance of an organ
ism, wherein, with the constant sue
cession of cells each of brief existence,
substantial identity Is kept up. There
seems to be but little marked difference
in babes, yet from the same food one
will become man of muscle and ener-
gy, another of nerve and BRAIN, third
portly man Of ease-loving habits. AL
the original peculiarities of each tiny
human nucleus pick out from CON-
mon nourishment elements like them
selves, rejecting the rest.

Dying with His Boots On.

A few days ago drummer from the
East was taking nip in saloon near
the Central depot, Chicago, and he put
the proprietor up TO new dodge. Ii was
TO place OH the hot stove what seemed to
be an ounce ball and cartridge, but the
cartridge or shell was of course empty.
Very few loungers would care to re-
main In the room and wait for the ex-
pected explosion, and once out doors
they would give room to cash custom
ers. The salOonist procured three or
four of the ''bombshells" and the trick
was q success from the start. When he
had roped in three or four friends TO
aid him, they could clear the room OF
loafers in one minute by the watch,
and the fat on their ribs grew In thick
ness.
Recently an ungainly-lOoklng chap,
who seemed to have been frost-bitten
by contract, and whose old overcoat
was too ragged to even tangie the cold,
dropped into the place in a quiet way
anu at oitt liCu " thC tO@Al-
stove. The saloonist asked him if he
didn't want u hot drink. and he replied /:
''Oh, | guess not-I'll thaw out by
the fre after an hour or two.
Pretty soon hint was given him
that he could buy ten cent cigar for
five cents, and that reminded him that
he had clay pipe and scme tobacco Ia
his pocket. The saloonist thereupOn
determined to scare him out, and while
fixing the fire he placed one of the de-
eeivers on the stove and leaped away,
with the exclamation that some fiend
had conspired to assassinate him. The
stranger rose up, realized the peril,
and called out: How long fore the
dsrned thing will shoot OFF," You
haven't minute to live if you don't
get out DOORS was the wild answer,
as the saloonist made dive for a rear
room.
Pete Adams" began the stranger,
ss he shook off his old overcoat, you
hain't got a tarnsl thing to live for,
and you might as well go under now,
when cOiiins are cheap. Brace up, old
boy, and die with your boots on
whoop,"
Picking up 4 stool, he knocked the
hot water can off the stove at the first
blow, and he was whaling away at the
beer tables when the saloonist rushed
in and screamed out:
Fly. Fly, or you're dead man."
Welcome. King of terrors." whoop-
ed Peter, as be tossed table clear over
the barkeeper's head.
Three or four men came in to help
secure him, but before they had sue
ceeded in jamming him down behind
the coal-box they had bumps and bruis-
es enough to last them for Il month.
I'm the clothes-pin that never flies
from nothing nor uobody." remarked
Peter, as they finally let him mp and
sought to get $40 damages.
He hadn't red cent. and when he
had jumped through back window
and cantered down the alley, his faded
and ragged overcoat alone remained 10
tell that he had been there.

"Yes, it has changed the color Of the

that. Just put one drop of clear water

Kirk.

4 Great " ork.

At the last session of Congress an APP
preparation of $50. 900 was made for the
Improvement of that very serious OBJ
struction to the navigation of the lower
Ohio-the Grand Chain. This is a belt
of rocks somewhere in the neighborhood
of one hundred miles in lengtA The
formation is of limestone interspersed
with tlint and, on the surface, extremely
hard. After penetrating down dis
tance of two or three feet. however, it is
scanned and perforated in every direc-
ton. Resting on, or forming part of
this immense chain of stone are series
of ledges. in some instances appearing
above the surface of the water at very
low tide. The ''boulders" if the word
describes them, have long been the ter
ror of river men and many a valuable
steamer, barge and flatboat has been
wrecked upon them when the water
was cup" he chain being, as il is,
only some twenty miles above the con-
junction of the Ohio and Mississippi. it,
at certain seasons of the year, blockades
the entire river against anything but
boats of the lightest drauglit. The War
Department, in pursuance of the act of
Congress. commenced eXcavating on
the chain some time last August. Cap
tain Philip Goatay, the engineer in
charge, and Captain Hiram Hill, Super
intedant of the Hill Wrecking Company,
are doing the work. The formation Of the
rocks of the "Chain" has already been
described, and it is thought best to dis
pense with the tedious and oldtime
methods of operating with drill and
gnnpOwder. The explosive agent used
is known as Hercules powder-essen-
