PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

Corea has war vessel that is pro badly
the oldest iron clad in the world. Dur
ing the last war with the Japanese in
1869 an iron turtle backed vessel was
built by the Coreans and very success
fully used against the japanese wooden
junks. From ports under the turtle
back grapnels were thrown on the Japa-
nese iunks, which were then capsized
or sunk by having holes punched in
them. This lronclad is still in existence
at Yong Yong; it is one Of the.oldest, if
not the Oldest, ironclad in the world.
The Oldest derelict in the Atlantic is

United States and Brazil and is danger
Gus to navigation, as she is very low in

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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inf1amed
you have rumblng sound or imperfect hear
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 inflamed condition of
the mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness caused by catarrh) that can
OF be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

Worth Thinking About.

Sir j. B. Lawes tells in The Rural
New Yorker how the Germans now are
taking from this country large quantities
of linseed and cottonseed meal for feed.
ing stock. Suppose they send back i'll
place of it sugar made from bsets grown
with the fertility contained in the linseed
and cotton seed. 1t is easy to see how in
such trade Germany has the advantage
by importing fertility and exporting a
product that is of no fertilizing value.
Americans should feed the stock food
and grow the sugar at home.

The Hon. John W behring's statement
that Congressman Reed has never done
anything for this District sounds suspic-
iously like one of MIR. lngraham's burnt
out campaign rockets. Tt was SO alb
surd that it was soon abandoned in the
campaign two years ago. Mr.. Reed has
not only been attentive to the calls from
his District: but, what is equally i'm
portant. he has had the influence to sat-
isfy those calls. And beyond all that
he has met one demand that is funda-
mental in every district: he has always
merited the confidence and pride of his
constituents.

Now that the Great and General Court
of Massachusetts, has adjourned, some of
Che Boston papers are telling how wick
ed it has been, and are indulging in IN
favorable comparisons with the virtu-
Gus legislatures of the olden times. But
1t should be remem bered that everything
and everybody were better in those old
times. The winters had more strength
and vim than the degenerate winter of
the present; public men then were states
men, not politicians as now; the poor
were not then growing poorer and the rich
growing richer; the pod augurs bored
smoother holes than are made by the
modern twisted tools; and the social and
political machine ran without so much
crealling and shaking as we have now.
OF course legislatures will become de-
generate likeseverything else modern.

6o, estimated in 1856 that he had eaten

A desperate runaway occurred on
Pine street, Lewiston. just after din
ner Friday. One of Harrington & Wills
grocery wagons and strong young
horse stood hitched in front of Mr.. Earring
toms house on Pine street while he ate din
neI. Suddenly, it was done like a flash. The
horse had become frightened and bounded
away.
On his way down the street the wagon
struck the cab of Mr.. D. B. Cressey and
belt the axle and before the terrified horse
had reached Lisbon street, the delivery
wagon had been left behind The people
along the street held their breath as they
saw the new plate glass front of the Brad
ford, Conant & Co.'s store just ahead and
the horse aiming for it at desperate speed.
With leap he cleared the sidewalk and
dove head first through the large $3.50 plate
glass window on theastreet and struck his
head through the one on the side of the
door, thus spelling two large panes and
throwing himself down and becoming
slashed and cut in startling manner, quite
horrible to behold. He was secured and
helped TO his feet, still struggling, and then
led to the horse stable on Park street,
where DR.. Choate sewed up his wounds and
pronounced him not seriously injured. The
glass was not insured, though policy had
been written out
Big nickel rails guard these windows and
