Mrs. Della H. Norm, one OF the boarders,
had committed suicide by hanging in one OF
the upper rooms. Mr.. George Z. Carter,
who boards at the house, had been absent
in the forenoon, and returning just before
dinner time he sought his room. On open
ing the door he was startled by beholding
the dead body of Mrs. NORM hanging from
the door casing of closet. He Immediate
ly alarmed the house and cut down the body
hoping that life was not extinct. Dr.. P E.

A mans usefulness in this world,
whether in subordinate position or
otherwise, is very generally measured
by his ability to adapt himself to cir
cumstances and to be serviceable in
whatever capacity he is working,
whether the conditions are such as he
is accustomed to or are entirely new.
To put it in rough way. his usefulness
is measured by his ability to catch
on" The man who is content to seem
ingly perform the duties assigned him
seldom excels in usefulness. On the
other hand the man who actually per-
forms all that is allotted to him, and
who studies ID increase his usefulness
by doing certain other things that fall
in his way, and which are necessary to
be done by some one, even though they
do not belong to him, very rapidly. in
creases his measure of usefulness. II

thoroughly useful helper and one who

FLUCTUATIONS OF SOCIETY.
.sThe Sole-leather of To-day, the Plumed
Hat of Tomorrow"

"The Sole-leather of To-day, the Plumed
Hat of Tomorrow"
There is always class of persons
here which is called distinctively socie-
ty, but it is not a class of noble families
of hereditary ascendancy. 1t is con-
stantly changing, and the sole-leather
of to-day is the plumed hat of to-mor-
row. 1t is initiative and puts on pretty
airs of grandeur and an amusing snirk
of superiority, but it is neither grand on
superior.
Yet. again. it is all harmless. An old
directory tells the secret, and, as the
fine society itself would say, gives this
pretty grandeur away. The direc tory
is ruthless herald's office. You start
from my Lady Disdain in the opera
box, flashing with diamonds and shin
ing with cloth of gold, a little too loud
in her voice, little too splendid in her
dress. the amiable dupe of novels and
of ignorance, and you soon arrive, in
the memorable directory of other years,
at the source of the magnificence - the
prosperous butcher and baker and can
dlestick-maker, the tailor of his day,
the fashionable shoemaker.
These are the idle rich for whom Mr..
Gladstone asks whether nature has pro-
vided place. Plainly she has. Here
it is in this opera box, in yonder car.
riage, in this little palace of the bonbon
architecture. But day after tomorrow
the good people in the gallery will
come down and sit in the boxes. The
gods will descend, and they will drive
home to the bonbon palace instead o.
walking home to the modest fiat, as
they do now. 1t is grandeur O
wealth, and, happily, of a wealth
which is not entailed. and is therefore
always flying away, always distributed
and giving us fresh nobility every
year, tasting, as it were, of the soil. =

Deafness Cannot be Cured

bv local applications, as they cannot reach

only one way to cure Deafness. and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition OF the mu-

this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbline

Why Southern Farmers Should Vote
Against Harrison.

Because he has favored tariff legisla-
ton which mas had tendency to re-
duce the markets for agricultural pro-
ducts. Although there has been a
great abundance in this country and a
famine abroad the value of the agri-
cultural products exported in 1891
was $642, 1884, while in 1881 it was
$3.50, 0,394,943, or nearly $l00,000,OOO
more. On the other hand, our ex-
ports Of manufactures have nearly
doubled In that time, so that protec-
tive tariff, such as Mr., Harrison favors,
cuts down the profits of the farmers
and restricts their market, Because
he favors the infamous force bill.
For these and many other reasons,
no Southern farmer can afford to vote
for Mr.. Harrison, or his "aider, mate
rialy. indirectly" Mr.. Weaver.

A BLANKET BALLOT.
The Pennsylvania Ticket Over Four
Feet Long add Nearly Two Wide.

Republican State Chairman Reeder
received definite word that the
PENNSYLVANIA official ballot as it
had finally decided upon by Secretary
Of State Harrity would be 80 inches
long by % inches wide, and in the
three columns would be given the Re
publican. the Democratic and the
Prohibition, Peoples and socialistic
labor tickets, the latter in one column.
"Think of a ticket over four feet
long and within two inches of two
feet in width,T said the general, "and
you have some idea of what is COM
ing"
Charles II. Mullen, who is an exten-
siye paper manufacturer with mills at
Mount Holly Springs, Cumberland
county, and who was national dele
gate to Minneapolis, said this about
the Baker blanket ballot:
"There is not paper of that odd size
or enough paper to cut and print one
tenth of the number of ballots, 52x22,
that will be required in this State this
year, and you can say for me that
there is not product or stock enough
in the markets of America to allow
such thing to be done. 1t is a
question if all the mills in this country,
were they to begin on the contract to-
day, could turn out the paper needed
for such a job in time, and l am GER
tain they could not be printed. That
is how the final decision brings mat
ters to head just now.
@Why, do you know what such
job means?" continued Mr.. Mullen.
'Iet me indicate it. The tickets
must be printed for sixty-seven coun-
ties-perforated, gummed, numbered
and bound in books more than 80
inches long by % inches wide.
"They must be run through mum
bering machine twice and the law con-
templates this work to be done in six
days time. The secretary of State
files his certificate of nomination ten
days before election and four days be-
fore election the ballots must be dis
tributed. This is not including the
specimen ballots to be furnished by
the county commissioners, an exact
pattern of the official ballot.
"Bear this in mind. 1t is simply
impossible to get the proper stock re-
qulred or to find a printing press that
can do the work. This is the latest
development, ,'said Mr.. Mullin, "and it
is saturated with interest to the
voters"
