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 infiamed you have a
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.

stronger than he was. AT no time during the
night was the patients condition considered
critical and the family were permitted To en-
JOY an uninterrupted rest. Except for the
occasional movements OF the nurses prepar-
ing medicine there was not n visible sign OF
life within the mansion. Dr. Johnston was
asked the question whether he considered Mr.
Blaine In dying condition, but eyadcd an
exact reply and said that he constantly
growing weaker. He in,Imated that while
his condition was susceptible to the slightest
changes the doctor did not believe that there
wa. any immediate danger OF dissolution.
While more or less nourishment was given
Mr.. Blaine, the physician admitted that he
is.living on siimulants and several times hi-
life has been recalled by the administration OF

prised the physicians. Ii was evident from

The jury in the case OF the thirteen Du-
quesne, Pennsylvania, strikers charged with
riot, returned verdict of guilty. Ten of the
defendants were convicted OF riot, two of I'M
lawful assembly, and one acquitted. The
employees of Carnegie's Duque>ne plant struck
last August In sympathy with the Homestead
ers. The day after the Inauguration of the
strike the strikers placed guards about the
mill and non-union men were assaulted. Ii
was proven that the defendants had acted as
volunteer guards and had taken part in the
riot
The verdict created much surprise, as II
was believed IL would not he guilty II is
looked upon as great victory for the prose-
cu.ion and is the first case growing out OF
the Homestead trouble. The punishment Is
the same for riot As for unlawful assemblage,
the maximum being $500 fine and two years
in the jail or workhouse. The defense will
at once move for \ new trial. Nearly all
the thirty strikers were indicted for riot, but
the officers were unable to End the others.
The defendants are all young men.

ALL lovers of English literature
will be panied to hear that the veneer
able moralist and art critic. John
Ruskil, has lost his reason. That
brilliant fancy which has so long de-
lighted others now serves only to tor
mcnt himself. He is haunted by the
delusion that he Is surrounded by
cucmic. seeking TO assault him. Rus
kin is one of the few living masters
Of English prose and has had greater
influence ID forming the style of the
present generation of writer's than
any other author, with the possible
exception of Macaulay. He is one OF
the few contemporaries who com
manded the admiration OF CARLYLE,
and between the two there was a
strong bond of sympathy. The clos
ing days Of the latter were darkened
by affection and misanthropy. but
Carlyle retained his reason to the
last, and on this, at least, fate was
kinder to him than to Ruskin.
