For summer Reading.

The latest novel published in that
lively publication Tales from Town
Topics which is now out for June, is
called IAN Unspeakable Siren" and it
must be said that the same wit and raci-
ness that usually distinguish the stories
in these tales are not lacking in the
fresh efusion. The story relates. of
course. the history Of love affair, but
love affair of a strange sort The hero
inc is a morbid. overwrought, cynical
young society girl. who fascinates yet
repels the men that come IN contact
with her. Ordinarily one would not be
charmed by reading Of the physical ex-
citement and mental peryersions Of a
luxurious young invalid such as Nera
Mazarin is, but 10y some means or other
the author Of this novel has invested his
heroine with some serpent like magnet
ism that controls d reader much as she
controlled her admirers.
The story Is rep,ete with vivid pictures
of New York society. and the characters
introduced in the scenes are evidently
portraits Of people that one actually
meets in the drawing rooms on Murray
Hill. Altogether An Unspeakable
Siren" is an attractive novel. and with
collection Of short stories, sketches
poems and wittIcisms culled from back
numbers Of Town Topics, makes vol
ume Of light literature particularly APP
to the summer season. Town

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 inflamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in.
famed you have a rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely 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 forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh. which is nothing but an infiamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Deafness caused by catarrhj
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

people ratify the result at the polls two
