Excavations at SidOn.

The excavations and discoveries at
Sidon still continue with remarkable re-
suits. The number of sarcophagi at
present brought to light is eighteen, and
some of them are most magnificent and
will range high among archaeological
treasures. They are of enormous size,
and the sculpture is elaborate and in
perfect preservation. Upon one of them
alone are eighteen almost detached
statues about three feet in height, with
out single scratch and of pure marble
of great beauty. The most remarkable
of them came to light lately. 1t is an
ancient Phpnecian sarcopbagus, which
had never been opened and contained
mummy and large amount of jewelry
of great value. The mummy, when
unrolled, was found to be the body of
man in middle life, and the state of pres
ervation was astonishing. The fea-
lures, and in fact the entire body, were
intact; the flesh was tender and yielded
to pressure; the teeth, hair and viscera
were all in place. Upon the outside lid
of the sarcophagus is an inscription of
seven and one-half lines in Phenecian
characters and also one in Egyptian
hieroglyphics. The bi-lingual inscrip-
ton of such date eXcites great eXpec-
tations. We shall have to wait to have
it deciphered by the savants before we
can know the full value of the state
ment it contains. The sarcophagus is
of black basat, which comes from
Egypt by order from Sidon. The date
of it is, of course, matter of conjec-
ture as yet. 1t may be anywhere from
500 to 1900 B. c., and even older.
This strange being who has been
brought literally from the tomb of
the ages to face the nineteenth CEN
tury-who is he? What if it should
be Ethbaal, "King of the lido
nians," and father of Jezabel, or some
other king who flourished in the earlier
days of "Great Zidon?" 1t is more
than probable that he was of royal or
princely character. The value of this
enormous find is roughly estimated as
approaching a sum not far from $780,
000 The discovery of the sarcophagus
of Ashmunazer in 1885, just outside
of Sidon, was regarded as an important
event. 1t also had PhGnician inscrip-
ton of twenty-five lines, and several
interesting data were gathered from it.
This is far more marvellous and
magnificent upturning of old Sidonian
remains. Letter from Syria.

Deafness Can't be Cured

BY local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucus lining of the eusta-
chain tube. When the tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound of
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and the 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 an in
famed condition of the mucus surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that we can not cure by taking Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for free circular.

ny MATTE ]. TOBIAS BENSON
While lying, matchmaking, half-dreaming,
Very early on New Years morn,
There came to me part of poem
l had learned in the years agone.
Far more than the half is forgotten,
Though tried to recall It well;
But some words come back like the echo
OF far-dstant tinkling bell.
1t clngs to my mind like a vision
can not shake off or unfold,
Or glimpse have had of picture
When only part was unrolled.
So I'll have to make the rhyme over,
As one does garment that's worn,
BY turning the fresh side outward
And patching 1t where 1t is torn.
write to me very often
Write to me very soon
Letters to me are dearer
Than loveliest flowers in June"
The fairest of blossoms will wther,
Their fragrance, though rare, will depart,
But lines in which true friendships spoken
Are craven for e'er on the heart
The dust of the garnet may cover
Them, after long years away,
The sun in our sky may he clouded
Too darkly to lend them a ray;
But cen as words chiseled in marble
Times ravages best may defy,
So those that are penned in affection
VIII seldom in truth wholly die.
At times they'll come back like blessing,
To guide and iumine path,
And help us to bear with fresh courage
10 hurdpus and that II hath
Then " write to me very often
Letters are links that bind
Faithful hearts to each other,
lettering mind to mind"
A word may seem harsh in our converse,
trial may alter our tone;
Some heart may be wounded that loves us,
Eyes dmmed that but lately have shone
But give us an hour for a letter.
With naught between us and our friends
But thoughts that true as the MONDAY,
Ink, envelopes, paper and pens.
The pen oft gives fittest expression
To confidence, humor or sense,
And though face to face we'd speak volumes"
A letters a volume condensed
So draw up the little table
Close to the fire and write;
Write to me soon in the morning,
Write to me late at night"
Write when you're thoughtful or troubled,
Write when you're hopeful and bright;
But, "if you would strengthen friendship"
You must " never forget to wrtel"

for years from Indigestion, he was at

and, by its use, was entirely cured.
Mrs. Joseph Aubin, of High street,
Holyoke, Mass, suffered for over a year
from Dyspepsia, so that she could not
eat substantial food, became very weak,
and was unable to care for her family.
Neither the medicines prescribed by

use of Ayers Sarsaparlla. "Three
