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
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, 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 condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, whichis nothing
but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

The sooner this country adopts a
gold standard the better. The enor-
nous production of silver during the
last few years has shown plainly
enough the folly of trying to keep a
double standard of money. England
by closing the minis of India against
silver has shut off the last hope OF
relief from the old world. Our silver
dollar is now worth about fifty cents.
The silver men have been driving
long enough. Their long black whip
has been terror to all parties
But the people are getting enough OF
these cowboy fnanciers. Let them
get down and walk before they drive
the country into financial ruin. Silver
is too cheap to be money standard
1t must go the way of copper and
nickel and the other metals, and take
chances in an open market. We have
petted and coddled the silver million
aires long enough. The people ought
to know by this time that what they
need is not abundance of ffty-cent
dollars. The yellow gold is now and
is destined to be the standard OF
values. Let honest men take notice

The Two Big Oceans.

When the Panama canal was first pro-
posed there was great cry about the
dangers courted in opening up such a
"ditch," some extremists declaring that
the lives of millions Of human beings
were at stake" This general alarm was
caused by the argument that the waters
on the Pacific side of the isthmus were
hundreds Of feet higher than were those
on the Atlantic side and that the great
rush of waters to even mp the difference
in the level Of the two oceans would
drown all southern North America and
most of Mexico and Yucatan.
Would be engineers and sensational
editors passed their opinions or wrote
editorials on the subject. 1t now tran
spires, as result of actual survey, that
the Atlantic and not the Pacific is the
higher Of the two oceans and that in
place of the difference being hundreds Of
feet, as had been affirmed, the surface OF
tho water on the east side of the isthmus
is exactly 81 feet higher than it is on the
western side.-Philadelphia Press.

More than four years have been spent
in reaching the organization neces-
sary for the production of The Cos
mopolitan at this price, a figure
hitherto undreamed of by the reading
world. Each department of the work
has been slowly perfected, until with
the January number of this year one
hundred and fifty thousand copies of
the magazine were prepared upon
presses and machinery of the most
improved form, built with Wow to
producing the finest results at the
very minimum of expense the only
establishment in the world, it is be-
lieved, devoted exclusively to the
printing of an illustrated monthly
magazine. To establish magazine
upon such q basis at the outset was
impossible. Only the rapid growth
of The Cosmopohtan's editions, al
most unprecedented in magazine
records, has produced the conditions
which make this departure from es-
tablished prices possible. The Cos
mopolitan promises to make the year
1893 the most brilliant in its history
No other year has seen such an array
of distinguished names as will appear
on it's title page during 1898. De
Maupassant, Mark Twain, Georg
Ebers, Valdez, Spielhagen, Francois
Coppee, Flammarion, and Paul
Heyse, are some of the authors whose
work will appear for the first time
during this year in the pages of The
Cosmopolitan. Among the artists
whose work will decorate its pages
for the first time during 1893 are

Perhaps the most unpopular man
in the country today is Gov Altgeld
of Illinois. His name does not have
a pleasant sound and he is Demo
crat who rode into power on the
wave OF discomfort in the elections
last fall. He has just pardoned the
three anarchists who escaped the
gallows, and not only SO, but has ac-
companied his act with a long harange
abusing both judge and jury most
insolently. In short he has tried the
case over again and reversed the YER
dict, after all the courts, including
the U. S. supreme court, had con-
frmed the verdict as just. IF the
four who were hanged were still in
prison, he would doubtless have par
doned them also. This is pleasant
state of things! Suppose another
outbreak Of those fiends and wolves
OF society should OCCUR while this
friend of theirs is governor! He and
Mayor Harrison Of Chicago would
make the way soft and easy for them.
But hold, if such a thing should hap
pen again the people might not wait
for judge and jury; in truth they
might look first of all for that same
Altgeld and his pal Harrison. For
the people are aroused at last. The
Democratic papers have scored the
governor as fiercely as the other papers
for his criminal folly. He has been
burned in effgy in Illinois. It be-
hooves him not to try the temper Of
honest citizens too far. It is an ON
nous thing to have this renewed con-
tempt of law follow SO closely on
Chief Justice Fuller's remarkable
backdown in regard to the Worlds
Fair. Under the present condition of
things in general have the Democrats
any reason to be proud of their party?

Tho Growth of tho Postal System.

Less than so years ago there was really
no postal system in this country. Pre-
vious to 1917 the mails were carried by
private firms. and rates varied according
to distance. Carriers often travelled on
foot or horseback, and the progress was
slow. In 1916 some of the post offices
issued stamps of their own, called PRO
visional issues" The adhesive stamp
was first used in this country in 1847,
and prepayment was made compulsory
in 1856. In 1868 the stamp containing
the head of Andrew Jackson was issued,
and from then until 1886 the style
adopted contained the profles Of presi-
dents of the United States.-Public Opin-

st. Cloud Journal Press: If every
man in Minnesota, and every one in
the balance of the country, would
make it point to pay all the little
bills that ought to be settled the first
of every month, times would be inn
proved SO per cent. in the next thirty
days. A thousand dollars in any city
if used in this way will pay, many
thousand dollars of debts and lubri-
cate the wheels of business in an
astonishingly happy manner. In
these times too many people act as
though they never expect to see an
other dollar, and invent all kinds of
excuses to avoid paying the "grocer,
the baker, the candlestick maker"
and the printer. Let a hundred
business men act on this theory and
they can make hard times any month
in the year. What is wanted is con-
fdence, and the best way to establish
confidence is to pay the little bills
promptly, and thus set the money 60
ing in a great many different direc-
tons and your share will surely
come back to you. Pay the small
bills.

which was reluctantly given. Now a
