Deafness Caot he Curcd

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is anly one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the muscous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets innamed you have 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 re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by tax

INEXPENSIVE SACHET.

A pretty and inexpensive sachet may
be made of soft, perfumei ball Of
wool, about the size of an orange, tieG
up in the crimped tissue paper so much
used for making pretentious paper dow-
ers. Lavender or violet is the pleasant
est perfume for these little sachets, W hich
should hang somewhere on the wall near
the toilet table, or even in the clothes
closet. TO make them, lay two squares
of crlmped, tinted tissue paper to-
gether, one over the other, the lower a
little smaller than the upper. Place the
little ball of perfuned wool in the CEN
tire and tie it up in the tissue paper with
a long-looped bow of narrow satin rib
bon. A pale pink sachet made with
pink and white paper and tied with a
long-looped bow of pink ribbon one
inch in width is especially pretty in a
pink room. A yellow tissue paper,
finely crimped and tied up with a white
or yellow RIBBON, makes suitable sachet
for yellow room or white and gold
room. These sachets are so simple, so
inexpensive and unpretentious that they
can be honestly recommended as in bet
ter taste than the huge orchids, pop
pies, roses and other paper flowers that
are used to hang on the wall for this
same purpose.-Nep York Tribune.

An yinNanfa IN AM srica.

A sign Of the growing Ang10man1a
in the Older States Of America is the
spread OF English customs in the col.
leges. AT Brown University, il
Providence, they have long worn his
English academic gown, and now the
regulation cap and gown, as worn at
Oxford and Cambridge, is to be in.
PRODUCED into Harvard and Princeton.
At Harvard the innovation will be
confined to the senior class on its
special anniversary day, and the de-.
clolOn has been made by the class it.
self. At Princeton the regulation is
apparently general, and has been de-.
termined by the college authorities.
This imitation Of English customs is
very distastnful to the average Amcri-
can, and yet it goes on fast in the
wealthy and cultured sets in the East
ern States. GenerailynO official dress
is worn in American colleges any more
than in American C0urts.-L0nuon

THE WOMEN OF TURKEY.

The worshipers in St. Sophia, Con-
stantinople, bow their heads to the
ground and touch their forheads to the
dust very frequently, and with great
JUNCTION. What adds to the effect is the
white turbans and flowing robes of the
devotees. Here and there yelled Ma
hommedan women with their peculiar
ulster completely covering the whole
person, fit to and fro, which adds an
element of mystery to the place-for the
women seem, in the subdued light of a
great mosque, quite unearthly, with their
black eyes piecring through their dark
wells. One meets with these women
everywhere. Many of them have their
faces uncovered and frequent all manner
of bazars, bargaining and buying family
supplies. They are not at all beautiful
or even good looking. On the contrary,
it seems to me they have, as rule,
coarse and careworn lock.

There are many theories put forward to

There are many theories put forward to
explain this. O1e ls that coffee is more
aduiterated here than on the Continent.
This is certainly not the case. 1t is
easier to get pure coffee here than in
France, Austria, Italy or Germany. The
next and more common explanation is
that we don't know how to make good
coffee here. But that again is a fallacy,
and its terms a misstatement. We all
know how to make good coffee, and there
is no one who cannot make it. All coffee
drinking races, that is to say, all the
Latin people and some few of the Teu-
tonic, understand very well that the in-
fusion of the decoction Of coffee, and,
unlike tea, coffee may be and is made ali
over Europe almost as well one as the
other is not fluid like tea, to be i'm
bibed in copious draughts. A weak in
fusion of coffee is tasteless and almost
nauseous draught; it loses all, its aroma
and delicacy of flavor when dissipated
in an ocean of hot water. The only way
to drink coffee in large draughts is to
make small quantity of strong coffee
and add to it an ample amount of hot
milk; of course cold milk is out of the
question. That is what we all drink
abroad for "the first breakfast" and
find it excellent; but in England we miss
the lesson, and demand Of the breakfast
coffee an impossibility. Half a pint of
an aqueous infusion of coffee is made
still more tasteless very often with cold
milk. So long as the British coffee
drinker persists in treating coffee as if it
were tea, and swallowing it by the pint,
ne will always find that he gets some
thing unpleasing to his palate.---BritlsA

A FEMALE RIVER PILOT.

Mrs. Mary Hulett, of Beardstown, H.,
is the first woman to receive full license
as pilot on the Mississippi River, and
she will for some time guide the packet
boat Belle of Ottawa over the 200 miles
covered by her licensce. There have
been captains and masters of the fair sex
and occasionally a pilots assistant, but
Mrs. Hulett is the first full hedged pi-
lotess, to coin word.
Her husband, Richard Hulett, is cap.
tain of the Belle of Ottawa and she had
been assistant for years before applying
for license. -Four of the best pilots on
the river Endorsed her application and
her knowledge Of the route surprised the
inspectors at St. Louis, where she passed
examination. Her application stated
that she was born at Des Moines, Iowa,
in 1851, and that she had been assistant
pilot for eight years. Mrs. Mary Miller
was the first woman licensed as captain
and ran boat from St. Louis to New
Orleans.-Bro0hlyn Citiznen.

WEIGHT OF HAY IN A NOW,

The weight of hay depends on several
circumstances, as the kind of it, the
depth of it in the NOW, and whether it
has been pressed by any weight.
Timothy hay is the heaviest, and when
pressed firmly in the NOW that is fifteen
feet or more in depth, it will weigh a
ton of $50 cubic feet. When less firmly
pressed 500 to 800 feet will be required
for ton. Mixed hay will take from
600 to 800 feet for ton, as it may he
of light or heavier kinds of grass, or be
more or less firmly packed. No one can
make any near estimate the weight
of hay without previous experience
and good judgment.-Nelo YorS Times.

IMPORTANCE OF SALT FOR CATTLE.


The cattle of the Southwest often have
very little attention. The condition of
the cattle industry renders this newt.
able, explains Ralph S. Tarr, of Texas,
! tor the herds of various ranchmen mix
together, and often march miles away
from their proper range. Consequently,
no one feels directly responsible for the
! welfare of the animals, and the owners
| do not know their condition except at
the roundiny-up season.
One of the effects Of this system is
that cattle often suffer for salt, and I'm.
less a person has seen how the animals
crave salt he can have little idea how
greatly they really need it. I have had
one or two rather disagreeable expert
ences with cattle in need of salt. Once
on returning to The wagon from short
absence | found several cattle tearing
the wagon cover and eating a bag OF
flour, my only one, and at a distance of
thirty-tive miles from a store. Enough
YVES scraped up for few meals, but it
taught a lesson, and after that every
thing which steer would eat was placed
we'll out of the way. AT another time,
having pitched camp, both my driver
and [ went out for game, and on return
ing in short time we found a group OF
cattle about the wagon, one chewing a
rein and another trying to destroy
collar, evidently for the salt coming
from the perspiratian, in the one case
from the hand, in the other from the
horse. Not long after a ham which we
had hung on bush near the tent was
entirely destroyed by hungry cattle for
salt. After that nothing except hard
ware was left outside of the tent.
That cattle need salt every farmer
knows. But it is not always remem-
bered how greatly they need it. Before
the country was settled wild animals
made long pilgrimages to salt ticks,
Notwithstanding the danger. Predatory
animals iurked about these places, and
that many a creature died while there is
testified to by the abundance Of bones
which are found near these salt deposits.
Each one is veritable animal grave
yard. and its relics tell of the former
existence on the continent of many ami
mails which have vanished from the face
of the earth. The call for salt which the
system makes cannot be better testified
to than by this fact that the most timid
animals went regularly to salt deposits
where it was certain that dangerous enc
mics laid in wait for hem.-4merican

OVERFEEDING HOGS.

Many seen 20 think that hog cannot
be overled, and that it makes no differ
ence if they do leave lot of feed at
one meal, they will come back and eat
it up when they are hungry, so there is
nothing wasted after all, says writer in
the Swtneaerd. But it is easily possible
to go to the other extreme-to feed too
little, so as not to secure steady gain,
or to feed too much and so increase the
cost as to materially lessen the profits.
Feeding too little is loss, while feed
ing too much is a waste. A good as we'll
as an economical plan is to feed regu-
larly at stated times and then feed when
fattening all they can eat up clean. They
will keep healthier and thrive better
than is possible by keeping feed before
them all the time. 1t is what the ami
mails digest, not what they eat, that de-
termines the gain in proportion to the
amount of feed supplied. Feed left over
is, to say the least, distastefuI to hog,
while if slop is soaked before feeding it
will ferment and get sour.

Cooking Birds i'm the Open,

For sportsmen who are fortunate
enough to be able to spend week or
two with dog and gun here is a recipe
for cooking birds in the open. Make a
paste of mud and water and completely
cover the bird, feathers and all, and
dig a hole in the ground and make fire
in it. When 1t is burned down and
only embers remain, place the bird in
the Goals, cover and leave until baked.
when the paste is removed the feathers
come with it, leaving the bird cooked
and ready to be eaten. The entrails
will be found dried in small ball,
which can be easily removed. This
method was taken from travellers de-
scription of native cooking in New-Zea-
land. and those who have tried it pro-
nounce it excellent, besides great saw
ing of trouble, as i. requires no cleaning
OF picking. -Ae0 Yorss Eiuas.

Spangles assert themselves in fans as
we'll as in millinery, and new gauze fan
has large, round steel, gold or silver
spangles down the ribs, smaller one COW
ering the material. A new idea is for
the gauze to be painted on the left side
and have blonde let in on the right.
Others have spangled gaddies, and too
many glistening spanglettes can hardly
be used. Feather fans are to be had
much reduced in price, for the stems are
made of new gold-colored, transparent
bone, which looks like tortoiseshell and
is half the price.-.St. Louis Republic.

DAILY DUTIES OF JAPANESE GIRLS.

In that very entertaining volume,
Japanese Girls and Women" is found
this record of the daily duties
of the japanese daughters. "Every
morning are the beds to be
rolled up and stored away in the closet.
Breakfast is to be cooked and served
and marketing done. Of sewing there
is Away good deal to be done, for
many japanese dresses must be taken to
pieces whenever they are washed, and
are turned, dyed and made over again,
so long as there is shred of the origi-
nal material left to work upon. Then
there are the everyday dishes which
japanese maidens must learn to prepare.
The proper boiling of rice is in itself a
study. The construction of various
soups, which form the staple in the Jap
anese bill OF fare, the preparation of
mochi, kind of rice dough which is
prepared at the New Year, or to send
to friends on various festival occasions
these and many other branches of the
culinary art must be mastered before the
young girl is prepared to assume the du-
ties OF married life. She must take a
certain responsibility in the household,
must see that tea is made for the guests,
and in all but families of the highest
rank, must serve it. She must know the
proper etiquette of the table, how to
serve carefully and neatly. In house
with no furniture, no carpets, no mirrors,
picture frames or glasses to be cared for,
no stoves or furnaces, no windows to
wash, no latest styles in clothing to be
initiated, the amount OF work to be done
by women is considerably diminished,
but still there remains enough to take
good deal OF time.-Detroit Free Prees.
