RAIIROAD MATTERS.

It is reported that the time table on the Berkshire division of the Consolidated road is to be changed 10 meet the needs of the travelng public. It is good thing to hear and it will be wise move on the part of the railroad magnates. It is to be hoped that while this is being done, another matter may be considered, name ly, the convenience of passengers who wish to connect with other railroads Railroads are supposed to be chartered and to be intended to benefit the public. But those who do much travelling know how very inconvenient train connections are, especially when roads cross which are operated by different companies. But are such railroads run in accordance with the provisions of the charters which are granted to the companies? It would be hard to convince person that such is the case. It would be we'll therefore, for railroad officials to introduce in their bus mess transactions and dealings some of the courteses which rule in less exten- sive businesses. Pro bono publicO should be the motto and motive of all who are engaged in the management of railroads. Let us hope that the day will soon come when all railroads will be, in fact and deed, public benefits and conveniences.

p..fn,.. Canno, he Cured

By local applications they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an nfamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachlan Tube. When this tube is
iniamed you have n rumbling sound or I'M
perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the inifam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inlamed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

American re. Growing.

An experiment at tea growing was
made in North Carolina last season.
The result was the harvesting of $50
pounds of superior leaves. A more
elaborate plantation has been grown
this season, and, from present indica-
tions, the results will show much bet
ter. II was grown from seeds obtain
ed from the American consuls in
China Enough has been accomplish
ed to demonstrate that a superior
article can be grown in this country.
The plant is suited to many sections Of
the West, and we hope to see some of
our irrigation farmers try the business.
Tea plants may be grown either from
seeds or cuttings. Many of the
Chinese varieties and most Of the As
sam hybrids develop into luxuriant
plants in this country. The yield for
1892, under high cultivation, was
equal to that of the best Indian gar
dens Of the same age. The rate Of
production of well manured garden
Of !, 800 plants, at six years of age, is
reckoned at from $50 to 500 pounds.
1t is probable that the profit can never
be of any consequence, except in pick
ing the small, young leaves, used in the
manufacture of high grade teas. This
is prevented by the Asiatic cheap
labor where tea pickers work for from
six to eleven cents per day.
Only the Assam varieties have been
tested at the Pinehurst plantation, but
the Chinese plants will bear this sea-
son. The outlook is good for at least
l60 acres being planted and first
caality of tea being harvested. But.

Ihe Royal Baking Powder has the

Ihe result at the Chicago Worlds

various state and industrial fairs,
where 1t has been exhibited, judges
have invariably awarded the Royal

At the recent Worlds Fair the ex-
aminations for the baking powder

and "A per cent above the average of

other respects, however, in the quality
OF the food it makes as to tineness,
delicacy and wholesomeness, could not
be measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known
and appreciated by the women Of the
country for SO many years, that have
