There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian tube. When this tube gets
inilamed 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 condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
arc caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inhamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces,

Reeds DecapItated Joke.

A story comes from Chicago of Opie P. Reed, the syndicate writer, with whose name the reading public is now familiar. A couple of years ago Op;e was employed on the Cleveland Ohio) Leader as editorial writer under the late Samuel Cowles. The humor- ous vein which had made Reed fla nous was strong in him then, but Cowles was man utterly devoid of any sense of humor. Opie was there fore often checked in his fancies, but circumstance arose at last which seemed to call for n humorous ed itorial. Reed went to work with a will, and during the day he turned out good three-quarters of column of what he considered an exceedingly funny article. A few hours later the proof was deposited on Mir Cowles' desk. He read it carefully. with some thing of q scowl on his features, and asked: "who wrote this rot?'
 "Mr, Reed" was the reply.
 "Well, it may be q good joke, but no joke Is worth that much space in a newspaper grumbled the old editor as he reached for his scissors. Then running his eye down the proof-sheet until he found period in the middle of the article he cut the joke in two. In this form it appeared on thefollow. ing day, and Reed resigned. The readers of the Leader never learned the whole of Reed's joke.

Cheap Candy.

Tho London Grocer points out what will be one of the effects of the removal of the sugar duty In the United States It says:
 "Judging from the precedent that was formed here after sugar was admitted duty free in 1872, one, branch of the American native sugar industry is pretty certain to receive from the latest legis- lative acts a strong impetus to expand and augment almost beyond belief, and that is the section devoted to confection- cries and the. business in sweetmeats. In the United Kingdom the trade in con fectons has progressed at an astonishing rate, both as regards the home and ex- port branches, and soon VIC may have American productions actively compet- ing in the markets of the world for a portion of the custom which has hitherto been given exclusively to our manufact- urers."
 While candy is one of the luxuries rather than necessaries of life, still the reduction of the price will be very popu- lar with the children and with candy eating misses.
 Cheap candy will be potent object lesson to teach that the sugar duty was a tax

CT what has ta'en place. Had you done it at ony other time, wouldna hae thought muckle about It; but when you wero at the wheel and at such place-oh, confoonG 1t, canna think aboot it wi ony patience"
 Ross bowed his head and could not speak. Presently the captain went on
 ''Hows'ever, you can mak' your mind easy sac far that I'll na speak word about 1t, and the lads will haud their tongues for your sake. At the same time am done wi you"
 Its very good of you, captain" said Ross, speaking low and huskiy; but ale though you may hide it from other folk, yod cannot hide it from me. That's the worst oft Idon't know yet exactly what have done or how did it; but dare say shall learn 1t all soon enough. Thank you, and goodbye"
 He went on shore, the captain looking after him with something wistful in the ex- pression of his ruddy face. Suddenly he turned and shouted
 'Campbell-here. You gang up to the station wi Bob Ross and see him safe into the train. I'm doubtin' he's na juist him sel' yet"
 Campbell obeyed willingly; he was the only one, except Annie, who had the slight est doubt as to the cause of Ross's disgrace. The captain turned to his duties with an ex- cess of energy, as if anxious to forget in the hustle this painful incident.
 WhanlCargill rose and learned that his riva - safely oil, he was in high glee. He had no doubt that now with . clear course before him and with her father on his side, he would speedily overcome An nie's objections. In his cunning schemes, however, he did not take into account his own clumsiness. Annie did.

FATHER OF FoRrY-oNE.
A Man Who Materially Sweiled the
 Census Rolls,

Census Rolls,
 The death near Allentown Pa, Q few days ago of David Heffner recalls the fact that he was one of a family of forty-one children. His father was John Heifner of Reading, who was &C., cidentally killed by the cars in that place six years ago at the age of sixty nine.
 Heffner was one of Readings char acters and it is doubtful whether pa- rental record has been equalled in modern times in this country. He was dwarfed hunchback and was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1916. In 1S43 he came to this country and shortly after he arrived settled in Reading.
 Until his death he made a living by collecting and selling rags and paper. His remarkable family history is part of the records of the Berks County courts, it having beenfound out short time before his death, while he was a witness in n lawsuit.
 He was married the first time in 1S4O to 6 buxom young woman of his native land. In eight years she bore him seventeen children. The first and second years oftheir marriage she gave birth to twins, and for four successive years afterward she bore triplets. In the seventh year she gave birth to one child and soon afterward died. Of the seventeen children she left the oldest was consequently only seven years of age. Heffner engaged a young woman to look after his large brood of babies, and three months later she assumed the robes of bride and became Mrs. Heffner No. ?.
 She presented her husband with two children the first two years, and in the next five years added ten more to the lot, two at each birth. Then for three years she added but one a year.
 She died before another year came around.
 Of the thirty-two John Heffner had been blessed with. twelve had died at the time his second wife had passed away. The twenty that were left did not appear to be an obstacle to a young widow with one child consent ing to become the third wife of the iol- ly little hunchback, for he was known as one of the happiest of men, not withstanding that his bigfamily made him work like slave.
 The third Mrs. Heffner became the mother of nine children to her hus- band in ten years, and the content ment and happiness of the couple were proverbial.
 One day in the Fall of 1885 the fa- ther of the forty-one children. while crossing the railroad track, was struck by m engine and was run over and killed. But for that sad ending it is impossible to estimate what the size of the little hunchback's tamily might have been. His widow and twenty eight of his children are still living, most of them in Reading. They are . thrifty lot and very respectables

Crystal light shimmering on the topaz of the temples. Crystal light tossing in the plumcs of the equestrians of heaven on white horses. But "the crystal cannot equal It." John says crystal river. That means joy. Deep and ever rolling. Not one drop of the Thames or the Hudson or tho Rhine to soil 1t. Not ono tear of human sorrow to embitter it. Crystal, the rain out of which 1t was made. Crystal, the bed over which it shall roll and ripple. Crystal, its infinite surface. But "the crystal cans not equal it." John says crystal sea. That means simultaneously vast. Vast in rap turc. Rapture vast as the sea, deep as tho sea, strong as the sea, ever changing e tue sea. Pillows of light Billows of beauty, blue with skies that were never fathomcd.

The crystal atmosphere would display our pollution. The crystal river would be 3efouled with our touch. The crystal sea would whelm us with it's glistsn- ing surge. Transformation now or no transformation at all. Give sin full chance in your heart and the transformation will be downward instead of upward. In- stead of crystal it will be cin. der. In the days of Carthage Chris. tian girl was condemned to de for her faith, and boat was bedaubed with tar and pitch and filled with combustibles and set on fire and the Christian girl was placed in the boat and the wind was of shors and the boat fioated away with its precious treasure. No one can doubt that boat landed at the shores of Heaven. Sin wants to put you in fiery boat and shove you off in an opposite directon-off from peace, everlastingly off; and tho port to- ward which you would shl would be port of darkness, and the guns that would greet you would be the guns of despair, and the flags that would wave at your arrival would De tho black flags of death. O, my brother, you must either kill sin or sin will Kill you. It is no wild exaggeration when 1 say that any man or woman that wants to be saved may be saved. Tremendous choice! A thousand people are choosing this moment between salvation and destruction, between light and darkness, between heaven and hell, be- tween charred ruin and glorious crystaili. ration.

California Oranges.

A year ago the orange growers of Cal ifornia were begging Congress to raise the duty on oranges to S1 box, plead ing that labor in Italy was only 20 cents . day. They pretended that the old duty of 25 cents box was equivalent to only per cent, while the official figures used in the United States Senate showed that tho duty was nearly 22 per cent Mckinley tried to double tho duty on oranges, but the Senate insisted upon the old rates and these were retained.
 Now, what has happened? Are the California growers being driven out of the Eastern markets by the cheap pau per-grown oranges of Italy? Not at all. On the contrary, the President of the California Fruit Union says that Cali f0rnia oranges are now taking possession of the United States to greater extent than it was deemed possible earlier in the season. Large shipments are made daily to all parts of the Union, even as far east as New York and Boston. Sev- eral weeks ago ten trains, comprising sixty cars, started eastward from the southern part of the State.
 Only another case where protected in- terests go to Congress with lies upon their lips to beg for higher protection when they really need none at all.
