A Word About License.

We are unable to see how any sensi- bls man can, after serious reflection, come to the conclusion that it would be better for this town to have license. There is no question but that with li- cense here there would be more drunk eness than at present. The idea that conscientious men would be licensed, who would conduct the business on Christian principles, without selling to drunkards or minors, is all moonshine. There is not money enough in conduct ing the business in that way and paying the license. Besides 1t would not be satisfactory to the drinking public. Then the revenue derived from licenses would be largely absorbed in the ln- creased expenses to the town from the additional pauperism which would fol- low

 Pictured Rocks of Lake Superior.
 We have been permitted to publish the following extract from the letter of young lady, travelling in the West, to friend in this place. The lady is de- scribing visit to the celebrated Pic tured Rocks. "The Rocks are about 50 miles from Marquette and we reach ed them some time before dinner. l can never describe with pen the mar vellous beauty of these rocks. Our tug steamed right up into the Grand Portal. the first steam vessel that ever attempted such a thing. The Grand Portal is magnificent enough for an amphitheatre in the most beautiful of cities. It is large cave, which tapers up from the wide spreading sides to most perfect dome in the center. The rocks are anywhere from cream color to the most vivid and artificial looking green. There are small caves, large caves, arches, piles of beautiful stones and the most beautiful hooks and cor ners ever conceived of. We landed on the most beautiful beach I ever saw. The saud as white as milk and the peb bles worn as smooth as marble by the action of the waves, and, best of all, right at one side were the lovely falls dashing and tumbling over the rocks and continually churned into white foam. The famous pictures are very wonderful and are fcuEd in strips sev- eral yards long and only two feet wide. They are very perfect in many places, especially one which represents Rus sIan wedding scene. The gates are open and the guests are crowded out and some talking etc. etc.; it is very lovely. The pictures look like dark stains on the background of light color ed rock. They are not perfect enough to make one believe that they are arti- fcial, yet they fill one with wonder at the marvels of nature. In one place is a perfect babboon, and another scene seems to be the siege of some fort. There is an army on each side and their bayonets etc. can be seen above their heads just as in the reality. It is very 6ne." She says that the water of the lake is wonderfully clear and of dark green color, but is always icy cold.

Deafne.. Can,r he 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 con- stitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an infiamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucuous sur faces. -
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

THEORIES ABOUT BALoNEss.
Why Does the Hair Fall Out on the Top o
 the Head and Not Elsewhere?

Why Does the Hair Fall Out on the Top of
 the Head and Not Elsewheres
 A question that often arises and is seldom answered twice in the same way is as to why the hair falls out on the top of the head and not at the back and on the sides. The old fashioned theory is that badness occurs within the lines marked by q mans hat, and as nobody has ever offered conclusive pruof to the contrary that explanation may be the correct one.
 The case was stated the other day to two very intelligent barbers. One of them thought that the reason why bald ness occurred at the top of the head was that the brain came closest to the sur face there, and this being an age in which many brains are kept going at high tension the abnormal amount of blood thus carried to the cranium prp- duced kind of fever ill the upper scalp. Fevers, as is we'll known, often result in the falling out of the hair.
 The second barber gave variety to the discussion by enlarging upon the notion that he had formed from the observa- tion and reflection of many years.
 "You will notice, said he, that the first hair a baby has comes in on the top of the head and falls out before the child is many weeks old. The hair that comes to stay grows thicker and stronger on the sides and at the back, and have an idea that the growth on the top of |. the head is always the weakest from infancy on to old age.
 But how do you account for the fact that women do not grow bald as men dor" queried a skeptical listener.
 Account for it? don't have to ac- count for it. replied the ready witted second barber. Ut isn't so. Why, used to work in an establishment where they had nine chairs in the mems de- partment and II in the women's, and want to tell you that I learned some things there that the average man and the average barber, too, for that mat ter, doesn't know. If you could appre. ciate as I do the number of women who have false hair so artistically arranged that nobody can tell it from their own natural tresses, you wouldn't ask why men grow bald and the other sex doesn't.
 Hairdressers have their pet theories on this subject as well as barbers, and some of them are very plausible. But if you should ask doctor who was not ashamed to confess his ignorance tho chances are that he would tell you hC didn't know much about it-Washing. ton Star.
