years his efforts have been blessed
wonderfully. until now there are 6s

which the pastor is held by his con-

Just before the closing song. Leonard
Trent advanced to the pulpit and in
few well chosen words, and in be-
half OF the church, presented the
pastor with beautiful gold watch
and chain as token of the esteem
in which he is held by the church.
The succeeding moments recorded a
scene that will not soon fade from
the memory of pastor or people.
There were few dry eyes in the con
gregation. and as soon as Rev Coff-
man could control his emotions he
/ thanked the dOners for the beautiful
present, but expressed his inability
ut that time to properly express his

CATION of the Straits of Magellan is
dangerous Vessels often anchor in
the straits for the night on this &C
count, and this gives the crooked
legged natives a chance to come out
in their canoes and trade with the
ships company. The chief articles
offered by the natives are furs of va
rious kinds, especially of the sea OF
ter. These they sell for a trifie, or
more often barter for the few things
they need. The best otter skins are
worth as much as 5000 to 800 when
brought to civilized markets, but

Deafness Cannot be Cursd

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 gets inflamed you have Il
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, free.

Catarrh Followed by Incipient Con

That neglected catarrh will result
in consumption in many cases has
been abundantly demonstrated by
the testimony of patients who have
been cured of the first disease and
had the second arrested in time by
gthe physicians of the Scott Medical
Institute.

lungs and involved my entire sys-
tenn.
