Deafness CAN'T BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is on
ly one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, 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 condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an inhamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness, Caused by catarrh,) that
we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh

WE read that Frenchman has man
ufactured kind of biscuit containing
all the ingredients necessary to sup
port human life. Portable food tab
lets, we understand is the name of the
new product. Armed with this compact
and convenient form of victuaIs, equally
good, be it remembered, for breakfast,
luncheon, dinner, supper, or any ny
Bird meal, one can set off on long ex-
cursions with a security that he never
had before. A young fellow with a
stout pair of legs under him would be
able to spend whole days traversing the
hills, for example, without being COM
PEELED to seek an indigestible meal in
some low-lying tavern. It is notorious
that people out driving in the country
always have to turn around and go home
for an early dinner. The food tablets"
will change that. Every well-appoint-
ed rural vehicle viii hereafter contain
a small tin box of this new human
prOvender, which-tog ether with few
oats for the horses annihilate time
and space, and put back the hands of
the clock from midday to morning.

THE interest in lawn tennis is dying
out in England, and it may be expected
that the craze Will soon decline in this
country. Immense sums of money are,
in the aggregate, spent for the accesso-
ries of the sport, and heads of families
who are called upon to provide them
will doubtless be glad to learn that
interest in the game is on the wane.
Tennis is not great game for young
people generally, after all. It is very
poor sport if not played well, and the
nmber of people who have the activity
and skill to play well is small. Besides.
tennis is going the way of rowing,
cricket, football and baseball, and be-
coming a game for professionals and
champions. There are better sports
for the lawn than tennis, and among
them prominently appear archery and
croquet, old-timers which commend
themselves highly.

"Cast Up"

One morning some of the early risers
made a discovery on the beach. There
had been heavy sea and a strong tide
during the night, and on the hard, wet
sand lay a corpse. It was that of a
man, clothed in bathing suit. He
lay face downwards, one leg drawn up,
and his head was covered with sea-
weed.
News of the CHASTITY discovery spread
quickly, and in half an hour there
were five hundred of US around the
body. No one had been drowned off
our beach, but he might have come
from above or below. After little
time man was found willing to do the
"bossing," and he sent man after the
coroner. He was about to send an
other after doctor, when a very prac-
teal gentleman from Pittsburg wanted
to know If man who had been dead
for two or three days could receive any
substantial benefits from the visit of a
doctor. Then it was concluded not to
disturb the doctor, but a very practi-
cal woman from Syracuse came for
ward and demanded to know:
Are you fellers going to roll him on
bari or no?7
There was a move made to get a
barrel, but again it was concluded that
it would be only waste of time.
why don't somebody rub him ?"
asked one.
@Send for the life-guard," added an
other.
Someone go for camphor," put in a
third.
Nobody moved, of course. The only
thing to be done was to wait for the
coroner, who lived about two miles
away. Meanwhile it was in order TO
wonder who he was, how it happened,
and all that. Many of the women shed
tears, and man from Canada started
to pass around the hat. We had been
surrounding the body for three-quar-
! ters of an hour, and some one had Just
remarked that the coroner would soon
be there, when the dead man suddenly
Strengthened out his leg and sat up.
Then he pulled the sea-weed off his
head, threw up his arms and INDUCED
IN a yawn, and started off up the
! beach with the remark:

take a sun-bath without everybody
making such fuss about it. Detroit
