MAKING SOLDIERS.
West Point Cadets Who Work Hard
and Study Hard.

The first uniform put on by a plebe, new
member OF the Cadet Corps at West Point, is,
for a time a weird misft-baggy lumpy, long,
and loose. 1t is made in easy dimensions pur-
posely because the tailor knows from long eK-
perience that it will have to be altered soon
aud frequently, and it is generally emphasized
as a misft because of the ungainly angles, not
20 mention dips and hollows aud bumps, which
at first characterize the plebes form. The first
thing that happens 10 plebe is that he is made
TO fit his clothes. That is not the object of his
first terrific experience but that is one of the
results. The object is to give him soldiery
bearing and the object is so well accomplished
that an experienced eyecan detect a West Point
graduate in any crowd, in any dress, at any age.
After passing his severe mental and physical
examinations, and being accepted III the Cadet
Corps, plebe is given over to the merciless at
tentiOns of one of several young gentlemen who
are known as "yearling" Sergeants, says a
writer in the New York Sun. This yearling
is a non-commissioned Cadet officer who has
just completed his plebe year, and is now real
izing the dream Of year-the blessed privilege
of doing unto others as he has been done by,
which is considered good enough social ethics
for the undergraduates. How the Summer
camp life appears to an uniformed outsider is
explained in the following extract from a let
ter recently written from West Point by West
ern girl visiting the Point for the first time:
- Ii is certainly very hard to be a girl, feel

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 inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets iuflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is tue result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition. hearing will be distrOy ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an tn- famed condition of the mucous snrs faces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars. free.
