"wimod -

There is a queerly named educa-
tional and benevolent society or in
stitution in Washington, ID. c., which
deserves TO have its oddly constructed
title explained and preserved in just
such department as Notes for the
Curious. "Wimodaughsis" is con-
Quoted by an efficient board OF di-
rectors, president and secretary. all
OF whom are women. The derivation
OF the name is as follows: 1t is COM
posed OF wives. mothers, daughters
and sisters OF the original projectors
OF the scheme, aud the name itself Is
composed Of the first two letters Of
"wives." the first two of mothers. "
the first five of the word "daugh-
ters" and the first three of the word
"sisters"--"Wi-mo-daugh-s SIS" The
word is pronounced wi. sounding the
! as in wine, mo like mo in mothers,
daugh, which has the accent, being
pronounced as it is in daughters, and
sis like the last syllable of thesis.

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 intlamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When this
tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when 1t is
entirely closed deafness is the result and
unless the inflammation can be taken ont
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever;
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 catarrhl
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

Fraternal Love.
MARCUS PETERSEN.


Fraternal Lovel In thee we find
The blessings that we seek;
For where thy golden tie doth bind,
The strong uphold the weak.
Thy influence melts the heart Of stone
To tenderness and grace;
And where thy gentle sway is owned,
Envy to love gives place.
Hate ever flies before thy face
And anger is subdued;
When by thy power, selfish race,
To generous thought Is wooed.
Justice doth ere attend thy path;
While by thy holy light,
Mercy dispels the gloom of wrath,
AS day succeeds the night.
Where thou art Peace will ever dwell
And Faith and Hope 'abiGe,
No waves of strife or discor,. swell,
Thy softly ripping tide;
But meath thy calm blue Heaven of Love
Men live, as brothers tried,
In friendship that will rise above
Their weakness and their pride.
Thou ert the foe OF selfshness;
The leveler of pride;
A refuge from the wretchedness
That floats upon life's tide.
When thou shalt fill the hearts OF men
With love for all their kind,
They'll recognize each others rights,
And see where now they're blind.
God speed thy day! And haste the hour
When all the world shall own,
And bow before thy gracious power
And place thee on thy throne.
The "reign of peace" will ne'er begin,
Nor men in union live,
Till each will for his 'other self''
His best attachments give.
