In leisure periods he spent consid-
cradle time in playing chess with Tom
Thumb, whom he pronounced q very
creditable chess player. At all events,
the little general frequently won, but
whether by his own skill or by the
showman's shamming to encourage
him, could never decide. He seemed
quite fond of Tom, and, when dinner
was announced, often entered the din
ing room bearing aloft on his capacious
hand his diminutive friend, whom he
always seated by his side, where he
was specially attentive to his desires.

oUEBEC'S CRUMBLING WALLS.
The Costly Fortiiications of the Old City
Are Fast Falling Down.

Are Fast Failing Down.
The Quebec correspondent of the
New York Sun writes: Alarmist re-
ports have for some time been current
here that the Notifications of Quebec's
citadel were being permitted to fall
into decay, and that as matter of
fact some of the secret passages con-
Meeting the fortress with the city and
with the Martello towers ON the old
plains of Abraham had fallen in and be-
come filled up and absolutely useless.
Before the withdrawal of British
troops from Canada some twenty
years ago companies of the royal en-
gineers were engaged in keeping the
citadel in perfect repair. That the
recent alarm created by the neglect
into which the fortress has fallen is
not exaggerated is shown by the an
nual report of the department of mill
tia and defense, recently submitted to
parliament, in which Colonel Panel,
the deputy minister, called official at
tention to the present dilapidated and
even dangerous state of some of the
city walls and Notifications.
He recommends an increase in the
present strength of the battery at the
citadel, to include u small body of arti-
ficers, or a small engineer company,
under the control of competent Off
Ger, by which means systematic and
intelligent management of necessary
repairs would be always available.
ULless this is done Quebec's elaborate
system of Notifications, that has for so
many years past proved one of the
principal attractions for tourists, will
speedily crumble into mass of ruins.
The money spent upon these works
in the past is simply incredible.
Wooden Notifications were erected
here by the French colonists, and so
heavy was the expenditure, together
with what was bodied by Bigot, the
intendant and his associates, that
Louis XIV. is reported to have asked
whether the Notifications of Quebec
were built of gold.
The present walls, which replace
those first erected by the royal en-
gineers, date back to 1928 and were
carried out according to plans sub
mitted to and approved by Che duke
of Wellington at cost of some $25.-
100000.

Misery After Meals.

The oppressive embargoes levied upon the
inner man by his inveterate enemy, dyspepsia,
after meals, are lifted and the yoke cast OFF by
that sovereign medicinal liberator from bodily
ailments, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Heart
burn, fiatulence, oppression at the pit of the
stomach, the presence Of bile where it does not
belong, are alike remedied by this potent re-
former of disordered condition of the gastric
organ and the liver. 1t is the prince Of tonics
and stomachics, invigorating at the same time
that it remedies. Both appetite and sleep are
improved by it. A wineslass before or after
meals, and before retiring will be found an eff

only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the

When this tube gets infiamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor

PIPE SMOKING POPULAR.
Americans Use the Brlarwoods Because
Englishmen Sec the Pattern.

Engiishmen Sec the Pattern.
Pipe smoking is annually becoming
more popular in the United States. In
past times pipes were relegated to the
alleged lower classes. OF late years,
however, and particularly since the
craze for everything English, you
know" came in, pipe smoking has in
creased. II is now considered quite too
nwfully swell, says the Cincinnati
Times-Star, to drop from tandem dog
cart with the stem of short briar root
pipe tightly clinched between your
teeth. 1t is Il sort of finishing touch
to your rough-and-ready fishing cos
tune to have stubby pipe in your
mouth and gives one delightful sense
of easy, graceful, negligent sweetness
just as soon as the approval oi society
alighted upon the custom of pipe
smoking pipes became much in de-
mand and the cost of the same in
creased proportionately, especially for
the strictly English shapes. 1t is
amusing to see fellow pretending to
be n judge of pipe. The fact is, that
nearly all pipes smoke pretty much the
same. The cheaper pipes smoke bet
ter than the more expensive ones as a
general thing For instance, corn
cob pipe is one of the coolest, sweetest
smokes you can get. Next comes the
penny clay pipe. If you viii smoke a
clay pipe few times and throw 1t
away You will always be sure that you
are enjoying pipe smoking of the most
delightful character The tendency OF
the average human is to buy an cxpcn-
sive pipe and then color il by blowing
smoke against the bowl. This practice
renders the pipe ornamental, but as
general thing these highly c'lorcd
pipes are very strong and it isUHy'hing
but pleasant for persons aycrSc 20 to-
6acco 10 be in the same room with
them. The English smoke pip be-
cause pipe smoking is cheaper than
cigar smoking. Americans ,mOke
pipes because the English smoke pipes.
The only man who can properly under
etnnd n pipe is the plantation daTEy
who puts u live coal on top of pipe
