The five society ladies who do the
pretty dance atween scenes in "Cinde-
rella" in London are swells of the first
water. "The five swagger ladies, they
are called here. Consumed with vanity,
the progressing paranoiacs paid G10O
each for the privilege Of participating in
the pantomime. The muslins, the laces,
and the diamonds they wear are mar
wells of beauty. OF course they are high
ly popular with the rest of the company,
for the reason that they disburse their
wealth lavishly. While the piece was
in rehearsal these silly women provided
elegant luncheons for their associates
every day, and there was champagne by
the case after each nights performance.

Not Consistent.

An American lady who recently visited
Count Tolstoi, the great Russian novel
list, complains that he is not quite con-
sistent in practicing what he breaches.
He holds that there is something degrad-
ing in the mere handling of money, and
accordingly delegates to the countess the
control of the household and the entire
management Of his pecuniary affairs.
She observed, however. that he has a
luxuriously furnished study, and horses,
carriages, and servants at his command
although they are his wife's On the
whole, the great man would appear to
nave been rather disappointment.

The Resemblance of Married Couples.

The Kescmbfance OF Married Couples.
1t has long been accepted as fact that
married couples, who are not only ex-
posed to the same conditions of life, but
the influence of whose minds must nee
essarily react on each other, assume a
more or less facial resemblance to each
other. Tho Photographic Society of
Geneva, Switzerland, with view to de
termine this question, have made pho
tographs of seventy-eight elderly couples.
The result is that in twenty-four cases
the resemblance in the personal appear
ance of the husband and wife was greater
than that of brother and sister; in thirty
cases it was equally great, and in only
twenty-four was there total absence of
resemblance.

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con

you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. aud when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
hsmmatiOn can Nbe taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an ittiamed coudi-

THERE is more catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
u local disease, and prescribed local rem.
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh 10
be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
~. Cheney \ Co., Toledo, Ohio, Is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from ten
drops to a t%easpoonful. 1t acts directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of
