Efhnnrht trrnnsfereno.

My father, Mr.. A. G. King of LIE Roy,
Ills, was very sick with la grippe In jan
uary, 1892. On the goth was sent for
and staid with him several days until he
was somewhat improved. then re-
turned to my home, Decatur, Ills, some
80 miles distant, telling my brother Ed
ward to write me every day and If
necessary to telephone or telegraph me.
For quite awhile the letters came regu-
larly reporting everything favorable.
Then they ceased. There had not been
any letters for about week, when, on
the evening Of the 10th of February
concluded that would try the expert
ment of making Brother Edward write
me by writing to him and then tearing
up the letter, as suggested by Mark
Twain In Harper's. wrote the letter,
commencing it, Dear Brother Edward
i suppose that no news is good news,
as If all were not well you would write"
After l had written the letter con-
cluded that would send it, as, if the
mind influence had acted upon Edward
by my writing the letter, the sending
thereof would not interfere with it. He
would receive it the next day. At 7
o'clock on the morning of Feb. 16, re-
ceived letter from Edward, dated the
10Th, saying: Dear Brother james,
have not written you for several days,
because / have had no bad news to re-
port. Recollect, no news will be good
news" AS near as we can learn, he
wrote this letter at the same time that
was writing to him. Is the fact that his
thoughts, and even words, were the
same as mine a mere coincidence, or
something more?-Arena.

Iowa,s Wonderfn1 Ice Care

One Of the greatest curiosities in the
Mississippi valley is a natural ice cave
which is located in the bluffs of the
Iowa river within less than a mile of De-
corah, the county seat of Winnesheik
county This unique curiosity is indeed
natural icehouse-a cavern in which
great icicles may be found at any season
OF the year, being especially fine in sum
mer, when the weather is hot and dry
outside. The bluff in which the cave is
located is between 200 and 400 feet in
height, it being necessary to climb about
IS feet up the side of the bluff to reach
the mouth of the cave. The entrance is
a fssure about 10 feet in width and be-
tween 10 and 20 feet in height, from
which a constant current of cold air
issues.
Thirty feet from the mouth of the
cave the passage turns toward the left
and downward, toward the river bed.
The slope is very gradual, however, and
the walls and the roof are within easy
reach all the while. After you have
reached a spot 100 feet from the opening
you entered, it is noticed that the walls
and roof are covered with frost. Twenty
feet farther a thin coating of ice is no
ticed, which increases in thickness as you
go into the bluff.-St. Louis Republic.

There are encouraging signs, says
the New York EUeneng Post, that pub
lie sentiment throughout the country,
is coming to recognize more clearly
than ever before the necessity OF intel
ligence in the exercise of the suffrage
The first step in this direction, of re-
cent years, was the adoption by Miss.
ississippi, in 1890, of new constitution
which denies the ballot to the man
who cannot pass an educational test.
Last year two northern states took
steps in the same direction. Maine
adopted an amendment to the cOnsti-
tuition which, while not denying the
right to illiterates who now exercise it,
debars from the suffrage hereafter
any man who cannot read and write.
California also endorsed a proposition
for an educational qualification re-
quiring every voter to be able to write
his name and read any section of the
constitution in the English language

Deafness Cannot 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 infamed CON
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbing sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tHbe restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de.
slroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any cases of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

The Sedan Chair

The sedan chair is named after Sedan,
the town where 1t was first used. The
earliest mention of it in England occurs
in 1881. Early in the following century
the Duke of Buckingham caused much
indignation by its use in London. Peo-
pie were exasperated at that nobleman
employing his fellow men to take the
place Of horses to carry him. Prince
Charles brought from Spain in 1928
three curiously wrought sedans. two of
which he gave to the Duke of Bucking-
ham. A few weeks after their introduc-
ton Massinger produced his play, ''The
