Deafness Caa,t be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube gets in- famed you have 8 rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire ly closed, Deafness is the result, and, unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal con- dition, hearingwill be destroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten arc caused by ca tarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dol 'ars for any ease of Deafness tcaused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free

Everybody should read it. The calen- dar and astronomical calculations to be found in this brochure are always aston ishingly accurate, and the statistics, il. lustrations, humor and other reading matter rich in interest and full of profit The Hostetter Company, of Pittsburg, Pa., publish it themselves. They em. ploy more than sixty hands in the me. chanical work, and more than eleven months in the year are consumed in its preparation. It can be obtained with. out cost of all druggists and country dealers and is printed in English, Ger. man, Welsh, Norwegian, Swedish, Hol- land, Bohemian and Spanish.

The Albuquerque Citizen has the fol- lowing to say of the trials of an editor The editor riseth early Tn the morning and knoweth not what the day may bring forth. If he telleth all the news he run meth great risk of having a tin ear put on him, and if he telleth not the news the people say that he is n. g., and there is no joy in it. The crafty man cajoleth him into giving him fifty cent puff for a five cent cigar, and all fond mothers frown on him if he fails to fatter their freckled faced broods. And all his ways are of woe, and his days are full of sor- row. The life insurance man setteth snares, and on the whole he hath deuce of time.

An interesting decision was rem dered by Judge Sloan at the recent term of court. The county was the plaintiff in a suit to collect from the $. P. Go. the amount of the univer- sity tax, which the s. P. Co. had re- fused to pay, alleging that 1t was not a legal tax. The company re- fused also to pay the amount of the collectors fee, claiming that it was unconstitutional, inasmuch as that it was not a part of the tax bat an additional levy after the rate had been fixed by the supervisors.
 Our court held that the university tax was legal one and must be paid, but that the collectors fee was unconstitutional and could not be collected of the s. P. Go. The county will have to pay the fees to the tax collector, and hereafter the tax levy will include the tax collec- tors fees, which will be paid out of the county funds. All those who paid their taxes under protest have a good cause for action against the county for the fees paid to the tax collector, but those who paid with out such action will have to stand it.-Tombstone Prospector.

OF organisms are among the most
minute bodies in the world. Within the
past few years these microbes have been
brought to view by the use of the micro
scope, a vast multitude that no man can
number. The ravages of this mighty host
are great, being the cause of four-fifths of all
the diseases Of the human family. They
destroy more lives than war, famine, fire,
murder, and shipwreck combined. and they
actually abbreviate the average term Of
human life by three-fourths. The old treat
ment OF mercury and potash would, at best,
only hold the symptoms of the disease in
check, but in the meantime it often kills ths
patient, and the microbs still lives.

HAPPY HOUSEHOLD.
COOKING VEGETABLES.


A member of the Happy Housekold suggests
that hints in cooking vegetables would be accept
able TO young housekeepers. Very true, since the
sbuses In cooking vegetables are as great as In
cooking meats
The various ways of preparing vegetables will
come, easily enough, if few general rules are
observed. Remember, then, that nearly all vege-
tables should be put on TO cook in boiling water.
Particularly is this true of potatoes, if you would
have them white and mealy.
The exceptions are green peas. asparagus and
string beans and other edibles, such as spinach,
which should retain their fresh color. These should
never be covered in cooking, they will look
black or pale and have withered, stale appear
ance. DO not salt until done.
Cabbage cauiifiower and spinach should be well
looked over and be placed i'm salt water for
hour before cooking This takes out all worms
and other pests that infest these plants. sometimes
too small 20 be seen with the naked eye.
The time allowed for cooking vegetables Is i'm
pertant so lhat they will be neither overdone nor
UNDERGONE. Potatoes require 30 minutes. II old
potatoes they should be placed and lay in cold
water some time before cooking. Potatoes in their
prime arc hest cooked with the skins on, and may
be peeled just before serving. Epicures say the
best of the pOtaio lies next the skin, and health
authorities saw that the lime principle of the skin
should be utilized to make the potato the best for
food Put lille salt in the water when cooking.
Never serve boiled potatoes in q covered dish, as
they become watery from the steam.
Parsnips should be boiled from 20 10 30 minutes
with their skins then peeled. sliced engthwise,
dipped in siited cracker crumbs and fried quickly
ln boiling hot lard, drips.
Onions, whole or sliced, should be boiled In two
three waters Tor ~ min utes The last Time adu
milk butter pepper aud salt and sprinkle Of -four
Boil up and serve.
Tomatoes should never be cooked In an iron
vessel, or In rusty tin, the chemical combination
with the acid is very unpleasant and turns the to
naIoes dark. They should be cooked half an
hour and require plenty OF salt pepper and little
sugar.
Dried beans should always be soaked over night.
They should be cooked slowly for three hours,
changing the frs; water. Add salt half an hour
before they are done.
Green beans should stand in cold water for an
hour before cooking. Green corn should be cooked
half an hour; no salt Green peas require from
half TO three quarters OF an hour.
Cucumbers should be kept in cold water until
wanted. Then pare. slice very thin. sprinkle with
salt and just before serving drain off any water that
may exude aud serve with vinegar
Twenty minutes will cook csuiihower: 1t Is
whittier IL part milk is used in boiling. Cabbage
requires hour and beets the same, If young IL
cid, longer lime.
