Deafness Cannot be5Culed

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they 'cannot
reach the deased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous,
lining of the Enstachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh;
which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

THE LANGUAGE OF FINGERS.

Their Silent Talk Is Important In Board Of
Trade Transactions.
Thousands of visitors who yearly go
to the board of trade and watch the
traders on the exchange floor from the
public gallery express surprise at the
rapid manner in which business is trans
acted. As a rule, the wheat pit attracts
them, and they do not understand how
commodities change hands with such
lightning rapidity, and how hundreds OF
thousands and millions of bushels are
bought and sold in an incredibly short
space of time is to the noNce pro-
found mystery. They do not know that
the brokers do a great deal Of their work
by finger signs, seldom understood by
the outsider.
It requires only the fraction of a seq
ond to buy and sell $4,000 bushels of
wheat.
It'll sell 50 Sep at an eighth"
cries one of the brokers, and he has
hardly finished speaking before another
on the opposite side yells "Sold." The
trade is put down on the trading card,
and the transaction, which involves over
$50, 900, has been completed.
The number Of bushels offered for sale
is indicated by holding up one finger for
each 5000 bushels. So in selling SO, 600
bushels the broker simply holds up both
hands and waves them from him, which
explains itself as wanting to dispose of
the lot. In addition to this, brokers
have a complete finger code by which
the condition of the market is commu-
nicated. The signs generally used are
as follows:
The first finger held up stands for
one-eighth of / cent, as the traders all
know the main price. If, for instance,
the first sale Of wheat after the market
opened was made at go cents and the
next at 601s cents, the trader simply
holds up one finger for the advance Of
one-eighth Of 1 cent. The upward posi-
tion Of the finger is to show the upward
course of the market. Should the market
be bearish and the price decline to 59T
cents, the signal for this would be a
closed hand, with the thumb pointing
downward. This shows the price seven
eighths Of cent and the status Of the
market downward. Chicago Tribune.

He Went Fishing and Forgot That 1t Was
His Wedding Day.
The Rev. George Harvest. minister Of
Thames Ditton, great scholar and
skillful fisherman, was one of Che most
absentminded men of his time. He was
engaged to daughter of the bishop Of
London, but on the day of his wedding,
being gudgeon fishing, he overstaid the
appointed hour, and the lady, justly Of
Tended at his neglect, broke off the
match. With Arthur Onslow, the
speaker of the house of commons, Mr..
Harvest was on terms of great intimacy.
Being one day In punt together on the
Thames, he began to read beautiful
dassage from some Greek author, and
throwing himself backward in aneostasy
fell into the river, whence, he was with
difficulty fished out.
. When Lord Sandwich was canvassing
for the vice chsncellorship Of Cambridge,
Harvest, who had been his schoolfellow
at Elton, went down to give him his
vote. In large company the two were
joking together on their schoolboy tricks.

Even il one Is u fool it is good thing
to know IL Bishop B, a prominent
dignitary Of the Episcopal church, visited
the mining district near Joplin with a
party OF st. Iouisans. The party left the
town and strolled out To where new
shaft was being sunk. A man was seen
laboriou>ly turning a windlass which
hoisted d bucket of rock from the shaft
There was nothing remarkable about the
man except his hat, the crown of which
had been cut in such a manner that the
hot sun beat upon his bald head continu-
ally. Some of his companions had recon-
mended this as sure TO produce a luxuriant
crop of hair
After watching the man toiling and
grunting at his heavy labor for awhile the
bishop said, with concern;
My friend, why don't you cover up
your headf This hot sun viii affect your
