only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is

He was little man, thinly clad for
such cold morning, and as he went
along Monroe street pushing his hands
down deep into his pockets, holding
firmly with his teeth an old mouth.or-
gan, on which he was blowing vigor-
ously, and dancing to the tune he tried
to play, he was the observed of all the
observers and the source of much
amusement.
"You took little too much o your
bitters this mornin' didn't you strang-

stand on the corner, as the little man
paused in his glee and looked at the
display of candy, bananas and grapes.

Before answering, the little man
danced and played spiritedly for few

Touching Incident.

A horse belonging to a grocer had
been severely injured. How severe and
how terrible his suffering must have
been was not fully known till devel.
oped by a post-mortem examination.
On the last morning of the faithful
creatures life he heard the whistle
sound for seven o'clock. This was the
signal which usually brought his mas
ter to harness him into the delivery
wagon, to commence the work of the
day. Summoning all his remaining
strength he walked out, unbidden, and
placed himself between the shafts In
a moment or two he dropped dead.
"Force of habit" some will say. That
we allow. But shall not all honor be
conceded to the dumb animal even

that though suffering unto death he
will strive to respond to its call -Dumt

Postal Facilities in Early San Francisco.

Postal EacllltleS IN Ehrly san raucisco'
The post office of that time was a
frame building of one story and an at
tic on the corner of Clay and Pike
streets. There was but small accommo-
dation here for clerks and handlers, !"
and still less for the impatient peremp-
tory and home-hungry crowd who
came daily, but most of all on mail-days,
which was once a month, and took the
small windows and loopholes by storm.
To avoid confusion and dangerous con-
fliet long queues were formed, extend
ing from the windows along Clay street
to the Plaza, and along Pike street
sometimes as far as Sacramento, and
even to the chaparral beyond, Here
traders, miners, merchants, gamblers,
and Adventures of every complexion
waited in their places, often from the
afternoon of one day, all night long,
to the morning of the next, in the mud
and the soaking rain, with weary limbs
and anxious hearts. Men whose
strength was unequal to the strain
were glad to employ others to hold
their places for them through the long
hours; and there were those who, while
not seeking or expecting letters for
themselves, secured good standings in
the line before the coming of the crowd,
only to sell their right of place to rich
er men whose time was money. From
ten to twenty dollars was a common
plice for such seIyice.-Century.

CHAPTER FOUR.

The third floor represents the choicest
furniture of the entire stock, and, while
few except customers desirous of exam
lining furniture come up, yet it is fully as
worthy of attention as any of the depart
ments of the store. AS with the other
floors, the opening of the new quarters
doubled the space, the old quarters, .or,
rather, the old half of the floor, is now
devoted to parlor suites and fancy chairs.
Snites of every description, almost of
every gcolor, are here, upholstered in
plush, in Brocatelle, in silk plush, in
satin Derby, in rugs and tapestry, every
thing is represented. Then the fancy
and odd ideas in furniture that are seen.
Here is little parlor chair whose back
is carved into a perfect Tyre; there is
tete-a-tete, and there again are great
comfortable rockers. Parlor Furniture
is expensive and the thought of paying
$50 for a single chair will make the aver
age man vince. They are elegant,
though. Then our pillow ottomans are
something new, and window chair will
also catch your eye. There is set in
particular, upholstered in silk damask,
that is one of the prettiest effects on the
floor. tits only $190, too, but it is thor
oughly rich in appearance. Did you ever
notice how much the average person en-
joys sitting down on a new chair or sofa?
In almost every case, visitor will try
the different pieces, and the comfort and
luxury of some of those big chairs sell
more goods for us than the best sales
man. Now, many people feel that they
cannot afford new parlor suite. 1t is
something of luxury, more so than any
other furniture, and yet it is something
you feel that you must have. You will
have a certain amount of company.
There is nothing more trying than to feel
that your visitor is noticing that hole in
the sofa, or the place where the baby
laid the poker on the chair. When every
thing is new you can settle back and feel
that everything is all right. You read
