Disorders Of the Ear.

A correspondent in Iowa who had
bought and used without benefit two
different appliances for the benefit Of
the hearing. writes. "Do you know
anything that will do for the ears what
spectacles do for the eyesg
There are defects of the sense of sight
which are helped not at all. or only
partially. by glasses; others only by
special appliances; but most of such
defects come under the head Of short

perfectly relieved.
The organ of hearing however. is
very complex. delicate. and peculiarly
exposed to harmful and even destruc-
tive disorders. There are three div
isons, the external. the middle and the
internal ear. The canal OF the car may
be plugged up with hardened wax. the
ear drum may be perforated. liberated
or thickened by inflammation. La the

The internal ear with an arrange

CYlOne Notes.

early this year They start out pretty
well, Judging by the great devastation
caused by the recent gopher in Illinois.
The force Of cyclone is simply in

blew everything off the ground except
he mortgages. Out West these zeph-
ers are very frequent, they have one
almost zepherv week. Some idea OF the
chrome nature of cyclones out West
can be obtained from the fact that cy-
clone insurance companies are organ
lzed in almost every State. In this con-
nection the Norrston Herald man saws:
"The Western cyclone Is such,a healthy
affair that we didn' suppose II necesSa-

a contr vance SO arranged that in the
event of c,clone n the night all he
has to do is to pull string aud his

cyclone, which he W messed from the
window of his cottage. as 1.-THE untrans-
lated blasphemies of hell Neverthe-
less there are some people who are not

by Jane Wesley, who took compassion on
her. By a mistake of the hotel people, Mrs.
Markham's name had been put TO the gov

was informed that it was a Mrs. Markham he

Clara Markham saw her opportunity At

her to carry out the idea.
Jane gave the doctor the Christian name
and all particulars of the dead woman in ac-

about that the certificate bore the name Of
Clara Markham when the friendless English
goyerness was buried.
Then Jane and Mrs. Markham cam back
10 England to watch the progress OF events.
Mrs. Markham took a cottage in the country.
and lived on the E2, 900 she had drawn from
the bank. She said that she would:be able to
recover her property when the time came TO
do so.
But when Tom heard that his brother-in-

was time to interfere. The news came upon
him like a thunderbolt, and he at once told
his aster 1t was time for her TO reappear.
Now said Tom, when he had concluded

ence. but she does not think that you deserve
the fortune she left you, so you'll please TO
convey it to me by deed of gift. / shall have

that IL he didn't consent he and Clara and
