Deafne,s Can't be Cured

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way 10 cure deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflsmed con-
dItion of mucous lining of the Eustsch-
ian tube. When this tube gets inflsmed
you have a rumbliug sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
hsmmstion can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by cstarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condi-
ton OF the mucous surfaces

shipments Go just the Reverse of Pre-

NEW YORK. July Solver 1,250 900
ounces of silver bullion were shipped to
London last week, and this week nearly as
much has been ordered for ship
ment. Announcement was made yester-
day morning that 100000 ounces more
had been ordered for shipment on this
weeks steamships. This has given rise to
much comment, because it has been
predicted that as soon as the silver bill
was passed this country would he flooded
with the silver of foreign countries The
actual facts have been precisely the re-
verse.
A Sort of Bull Movement.
A month or so before the passage of the
silver bill London sent over L. 500. 900
ounces of silver bullion to this country.
This was not because the Englishmen
thought the silver bill would pass, but,
on the contrary, because they thought it
would not pass, and they wished to profit
by the higher price over here. Now the
stream has set in the other way, and it
bids fair to continue until the demand for
silver here to meet the requiem ents of
the new silver bill becomes greater than
the demand over there.

PICTURE OF HELEN GLADSTONE.

An American Lady Sends Back Good Inn
pressions of the Ex-Premier's Daughter.
A private letter from an American lady
who is residing in England contains this
sketch of Helen Gladstone, daughter of the
ex-premier of Britain: "Miss Gladstone is
an exceedingly original person. In looks
she resembles her father, and she has, 1
fancy, his vitality. She is always laugh
ing, joking, telling stories. She keeps the
high table In roar. Indeed, whenever I
hear a commotion turn to see if Miss Glad
stone is not about, and she generally is.
She is utterly regardless of dress, comes
down to o'clock dinner in a gingham, and
for lunches and garden parties gets herself
up to look like the strong-minded, practical
wife of country minister.
"She seems frank sym pathetic, kindly and
has great magnetism" continues the writer.
"Streams of power flow out of her eyes. 1t
amuses me to think what a shock she would
be to many Boston people. If she were in
troduced as Miss Brown, of Chicago they
would pronounce her shocking the typical
Western woman person who must be sat
upon and silenced at all costs. But her big
nature and splendid vitality would drown
their little criticisms, and when they found
her to be Miss Gladstone they would pro-
nounce her a glorious creature.

is a room appropriated to the common meeting

apartment which should be termed the drawing
room. In France the parlor is called the petit
salon, to distinguish it from the drawing room,
which is called salon.

A Lofty Ideal Crushed.

''Say, Maggie, like to strike crowded
car like this when L go home nights, be-
cause you get a chance to cuddle up to a
good looking feller.'
The soft-hearted gentleman started back
as though he had been struck in the face.
As he did SO those young, innocent eyes
were turned into his, and he edged away
from the girl in despair. She was wonder
dering why that nice looking "ieller" made
point of avoiding her. She had thought
she was encouraging him coquettishly, and
not bit of wickedness was in her unre-
fined little mind.
And why shouldn't all girls, rich and
poor alike, believe they are objects of in
terest to the men who eye them at every
step-even on rainy days? A man who
paints great pictures said to me that the
only artistic figure a modern woman ever
publicly cuts is on rainy days, when she
catches up the skirt of her dress and futters
across the wet pavements. Her poise, and
the accidental lines of her skirts, make of
her thing that can we'll be studied tor its
unique and excellent beauty. In pleasant
weather she is straight and dreary, but
when she attempts to get across a public
puddle without spotting the ruffles of her
skirt, she begins to live, like bird on the
wing. But it is to be feared that all OBJ
servers are not so artistically actuated.

cheese suppers. One married beauty, upon
reaching the delightful little room where
the club met on Thursday nights, called for
a cocktails.

she, "and am going to drink cocktails 50

McAllister has tried to put stop to the
vulgar practice of the club, but to no pur-
pose He has assured the ladies that beer
will make their faces puffy and cheese will
make their skins coarse, but even that dire
calamity is not sufficiently intimidating to
deter the girls from their festivals.
Two handsome girls on the high seat of a

WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATcH.l
The order of the Shefekat, which the Sui
tan gave to Mrs. S. S. Cox, is kept in the
National Museum at Washington. It is a
star bigger around than a trade dollar,
which sparkles with more than a hundred
diamonds. These diamonds are set in gold
on brown gold and green enamel. The
star has five points and there are 26 dia-
mouds on each point. It has a beautiful
ribbon sash connected with it, and it was
given to Mrs Cox one night at the Sultan s
palace when she went there with her hus-
band to dinner and ate Turkish vIands
served up by French cook on gold plates.
She thought, 1 am told, that she was to
haye it forever, but it seems that His Majesty
only lends such presents tor life, and that
when she dies it is to be sent back to him.
The wife of Minister Straus was presented
with this same order, and 1 suppose that
she will have to return it in the distant tu-
ture.
The Sultan has in his treasure chamber at
Constantinople room after room packed full
of gold and precious stones. There is bed
quilt set with pearls of all shapes and sizes,
and there are at least two bushels of hand
mirrors whose frames blaze with diamonds,
which have been used by the ladies of the
harem. One of the biggest emeralds in the
world is in the Sultan's vaults, and, though
his whole country is bankrupt, he has more
than 81, 100000 tied up in useless trinkets.

Latest Fifth Avenue Fad.

A frequent change of eccentricity seems
to be requisite to feminine Fifth avenue
happiness. Sweitzer kase sandwiches and
beer are the latest whim in McAllister's
set Before 'Mac," as his familiars call
him, brought out his book and thus went
into the business of a fashionable Turvey-
drop, he had talked it up to all his friends,
and had said he intended to print a full
account of his ideas about eating. One
night he was dilatlng on this subject at a
lady's house when a young man present
asked him if he intended recommending
Swiss cheese sandwiches and beer to his
readert.
Naturally enough, this annoyed McAllis-
ter, but the young man went on to say that
Re had a sincere admiration for Swiss
cheese and beer, and he really believed they
should be introduced to the attention OF
society. Instantly the hostess suggested
the wisdom of forming a party to go out in
search of sandwiches and and beer; and, as
the young man knew a. most respectable
resort where the best of both was obtainable,
q merry crowd soon started forth. The gen.
eral agreement was that it was awfully jolly
to partake of such refreshment in such IN
conventional style, and from that evening
sandwich and beer club went into exist
ence.

Some of the Faults Busy Men Find With

New York Times.
A man complaining of the rudeness of a
woman employed in one of the central tele-
phone offices and others whom he encounters
in shops brings out with fresh force the fact
that the surliness and impertinence of some
women in business situations are often very
troublesome and offensive to men. There
are unmannerly and cross men in such situ-
ations, too; but there is certain quality
about feminine impertipence that Is some
times encountered which is more CALLING
and exasperating, and the fact that it can
not be resented ii the same way as a mans
might be makes it the harder to put up
with.
A lawyer who has employed women STEM
ographers and type 7riters said recently that
he had decided not to use their services any
more. 81 find it hard to get them to come

tive if fault was found with their work, one
particularly nervous young woman bursting
into tears when 1 reminded her somewhat
forcibly, after repeated bluuders, that legal
papers must be copied with ablolute accu-

and other fancy work during lull in the
work instead of showing common-sense de-
sire to find some wav of using the time for
the benefit of the Office. And some object to
smoking-not verbally, perhaps, but choke,
and sputter and cough if the air gets little
blue. Their silly lunches annoyed me, too,

like. Others might not notice this but dc
not like it, and all these things, small in
themselves, combine to stand in the way Of

The border is simple, and in the loosely.
woven burlaps, very easily made; its effect
will be greatly enhanced if it be lined with
brown denim. The fringe should be made
of brown hammock cord with knotted
heading and long full tassels.
The body of the curtain can be left plain,
but will be so much handsomer if decorated
that it is we'll worth the extra trouble. A
simple and suitable form OF decoration is
conventional figures cut from brown denim
and sown here and there over the surface oil
the curtain. The best finish for their edges
is cording with some of the cord used for
the fringe.
