Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum.
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inhamma
ton 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 Halls

The Grown of Scotland.
II is SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN WORN
BY ROBERT BRUCE.

A once precious diadem, which is
now only an historical relic of much
interest, is the crown of the Scotch
kings, kept in the castle of Edinburgh.
1t is supposed, says the St. Louis Re-
public, to have been made for Robert
Bruce, and is formed of Two circles of
gold, the upper and narrower circlet
being surmounted by row of crosses
and gem-incrusted imitation flowers.
The lower ring, the head band proper,
is adorned from end to end of the
golden band with large precious stones
of different kinds, mostly in their
rough, unpublished state. Above rise
two arches of gold, which unite and
are surmounted with the historic "cross
and ball" Even when the Stuarts be-
came kings of England they went to
the trouble Of going to Scotland to
seat themselves for a few
moments upon the celebrated "stone
of Scone" and to have King Bruce's
diadem pressed upon their royal heads.
Charles l. declared his intention of
removing Scotland's famous relic to
London, so that such ceremonies
could be carried out at home, but the
sturdy Scots soon convinced him that
such proceeding would be an in
fringement upon their rights, so the
king had to 90 to Edinburgh as Others
had done before. The wife of a
preacher by the name Of Granger once
stole the Scotch crown and the other
royal insignia-this in I65s or 1858.
At the time of the restoration they
were transferred to Charles ii. They
were returned to Edinburgh castle in
1907, and have remained there ever
since.

GRAPHIC SKETCH OF THE PEOPLE IN A
wELL.covERNED FRENCH-CANADIAN
VILLAGE.

In the quiet will age, where the good
cures word is law, there is likely to
be little brawling and less drinking.
for the French Canadians are neither
ouarrelsome nor incorporate. There
may be tavern, or perhaps two tav-
ems, where not only guests are re.
ceived, but where liquor is sold, but
the cure sees to it that they are closed
very early in the evening. Long be.
fore they are closed very early in the
evening. Long before midnight the
streets of the place are deserted, and
late wanderer need have no fear of
drunken hoodlums. A we'll governed
French Canadian village, where the
cure is thoroughly respected because
of his wisdom and piety, affords de-
cided contrast to many rural COM
munities in English Canada and on
our own side of the border.
The people are not enterprising.
At least this seems to be true of all
but few exceptions. They are con
tent to take what comes in their way,
with the happy faith that the morrow
will bring with it its daily bread. They
are averse to breaking in new lands,
and, as the families are large, the di.
vision Of the farms generation after
generation finally results in such
small portions that some of the child.

if all are to live. Very few of them

find congenlal occupation in the

Celebration of Pennsylvania Day at the
Worlds Fair.
INDUCEMENTS OFFERED BY THE PENN
SYLvANIA RAILROAD COMPANY.

The Worlds Fair Commission hav-
ing decided on Thursday, September
9TH, as the day which they desire to
have formally celebrated and desig-
mated as Pennsylvania Day, the Penn,
sylvana Railroad Company, in pur-
suance Of its usual custom, takes pleas
ure in announcing that, for the benefit
of those wishing to participate in OF
attend the ceremonies, the extremely
low rate of one fare for the round trip
will prevail from all points situated on
that company's lines within the Dor.
ders of the State.
Tickets for the occasion will be good
only on the special train leaving Phila-
delphia at 1890 A. NJ, September
5th, and reaching Lancaster at LIS,
Harrisburg 800, Lewistown Junction
4.3o, Altoona 100, Pittsburg 1925 P.
NJ. Stops will be made at principal
intermediate stations, and connections
may be made from points on the
branches of the main line. The com.
position of the train will be first class
standard coaches, and ample accom-.
mediation will be provided for all who
will avail themselves of the opportun.
ity of showing their interest in an
event so momentous as the commemor-
alton of the Keystone State at the
Worlds Columbian Exposition.
Chicago will be reached by the
special tram early in the afternoon of
the next day, September 9th, and the
return coupons will be good for pass
age on trains leaving Chicago at 3.IS
and 1890 P. NJ, on or before Sep
tember 18th.
The inducements for the facilities
provided in the train service over the
Pennsylvania system, will doubtless be
taken advantage of by the many Penn
sylvanians who are anxious to show
the pride they have for their native
State.

An Important Event.
A PRINCES FooTsTEP CoMMEMoRArED
BY A MONUMENT

Americans are not the only people
who show an undue reverence for a
lordly title, TIE author of "Around
and About South America" tells Of
his visit to Stanley, Falkland islands,
the southernmost town on the globe,
where an incident convinced him that
name sometimes equals an event.
The decidedly English expression Of
the town is greatly heightened upon
going on shore, where l land upon a
small jetty, at whose extremity stands
a pyramidal brick and stone monu-
ment, bearing on tablet the rather
inexpensive communication "Alfred,
24th February, 1874"
Knowing that many nations had at
different times claimed possession of
these islands, and that several con-
flcts had resulted, it was but natural
to suppose that this proud pile dis
tinguished the spot where some Bri-
tish Horatius Coolies, had, single
handed, repelled the landing cutters
of several French or Spanish men-of-
war, and that his appreciative country
men had thus made the fact known to
such of the great world as might by
accident stray thither.
The very first citizen I met I beg
ged to tell me more Of this brave, this
doughty Alfred, apologizing, Of course,
for a memory defective in matters Of
historical detail. And my blood al
most CONCEALED within my veins and
my heart stood still with awe as l
learned that here, here on this very
spot, "real live" English prince had
once set his foot, on coming ashore to
pay visit to the governor.
My informer stood solemn and
serious, but there is no use in denying
that was prohigate enough to laugh.

James Parton would not do hasty
work. He was methodical, patient,
regular and persistent, and in time he
had become so able to control his mind
that it responded to his will like the
body to the mind, writes the Rev. Julius
II. Ward in the January Ncto England
Magazine. He did not tax himself to
work out great feats within short time,
or if he was hard pressed he gave him
self rest as soon as the strain was over.
lie did not burn midnight oil, neither
did he resort to wine or tobacco as
stimulants to his brain. lie was one of
the most temperate men | have ever
known. He Kept his faculties every
day as near as he could at their best,
and life flowed on from day to day with
an eyenness and quietness that made
his home life not only pleasant for
others but beautiful in itself
His habits were to breakfast about
T30, then to work in his garden in the
summer for an hour, aud then to shut
himself in his work room where he
could be sure to be undisturbed until
1880. Then he dined, and after that,
III his later years, took a nap. Then he
was ready for callers or visits to friends,
or for the reading which might be re-
quired for the work of the next day.
After tea he was usually the companion
of his family, hearing his wife or niece
read aloud some book or magazine; and
this was his daily round, unless broken
