why a Cold Anects the Hearing.

The drum or tympanum Of the ear Is
Q small air chamber, with hard, bony
surroundings, ventilated by an air pas
sage about IL inches long, called the
eustachian tube. which passes forward
and inward from the anterior part o.
the throat behind the nostrils. The at
Inospheric pressure required on the in
ner side of the drum TO counterbalance
that OF the outer side is provided for b.
the communication Of the eustachian
tube with the throat in the acts OF
breathing and swallowing. Lining tn
hollow of the drum and forming the in
nermost layer of the drumhead is deli
cate mucus membrane, which also line
the interior of the eustachian tube. Ii
we have a cold in the head the vessels
supplying the mucus membrane from
the nose TO the mouth expand, the blood
within them flows slowly or stagnates
and that in the mucus membrane be-
comes congested.
AS result there is more or less swell
ing, with augmentation of the natural
secretions. The congestion is apt to be
continued into the mucous membrane of
the eustachian tube, which is thus OBJ
structed. This causes the air in the
drum TO be rarefied. the drumhead and
the little chain of bones connected with
it are forced inward, and by causing ex-
cess Of pressure of the internal ear pro

Hobbies of the English Boy.

The average British boy contracts at
least three hobbies before he reaches the
mature age of fifteen-when he is per-
maps more intent upon growing a mus
ache than anything else-the collection
If old postage stamps, the keeping Of
'et animals, or a love for the toy drama
the penny plain and twopenny colored
'.,riety. Like most hobbies, the first
.amed mania is but short lived, and the
uckless stamp album, once the object
f tremendous affection, is thrown
nto the dust hole, never again to see

obby with the boy becomes with some
lifelong passion in manhood.-Mllion

RIGHT MAIN AISLE.

The popular colors in
dress fabrics are blue, brown

of shades and stylish
effects. The price range is
modest, commencing with
the soc per yard fabrics, the

SIPS per yard.
Those 5o-inch Imperial
Twills, in all colorings, are
worth every cent of a dol

but the tendency in price
with us is down, down,
