Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of theear. There is only
one way to cure Deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube When this tube
gets infiamed you have rumb bling 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 normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamei condition of the mucous sur

AN UNSELFISH LIFE.
The Heroic But Hopeless Struggles of an
Aspiring Student.

The Heroic But Hopeless Struggles of ar
Aspiring Student.
A bright young fellow entered Har.
ward college, and displayed marked
capacity and talent for scientific pur-
suits. He was not like the student in
whose hand Agassiz placed piece of
worn coral with the remark, sTake a
fortnight and find out something
about it" and who could do ncthing
with it until he was afterward told to
break 1t and look at the inside" This
young student was keen investigator,
who seemed to know intuitively how
to apply what he learned from profess
sors or books to natural objects. He
seemed destined to great career as a
naturalist.
Hardly had he finished his college
course when startling reverses of for
tune overwhelmed his family. Bust.
ness troubles, followed by loss of mind
and health, left his father a shattered
wreck. The brilliant young man, full
OF ambition to undertake congenial |
studies, was forced to support his
mother and sisters in the best way
that was open to him. He took clerk
ship in mercantile house, and gave
up his life to what was to him distaste-
full drudgery. 4
Ten years passed in faithful and low
ing service to his family. He made
progress in his business, but never
ceased to regard it as an irksome oc-
cupation for which he had neither in
ciination nor full natural equipment.
He was bread winner for those de- ,
pendent upon him, and did his work ,
cheerfully. But ardor for scientific ,
studies was still the passion of his
life. His heart was fixed upon the .
vacant place among scientific investi- !
gators which Agassiz thought it might
be his lot to fill

The British Constitution.

Doubtless many Americans have felt
In their minds to wonder how the Brit
ish nation can abolish the house Of lords.
If we in America desired to abolish the
senate when we got tired Of it's eccen-
tricities the thing would certainly take
five years. A constitutional amendment
to that effect would have to pass both
houses Of the national legislature and
then be ratified by -fourths of the
states. It is not at all probable that the
senate will ever consent.to it's own abol-
ishment. In Great Britain there are
also two Legislative houses. But Great
Britain has no written constitution.
The laws made by parliament for gen
eral application to the whole realm are
practically her constitution. It is easy
to change these laws. Suppose Rosebery
wants to ascertain the will of the peo-
pie in regard to the lords question. By
an appeal to the queen parliament is
dissolved at any time. Then the prime
minister will, as the phrase goes, 60 be-
fore the people on the issue Of abolish
| ing the veto power Of the house Of lords.
A new election is ordered, and this can
be done at any time. ....- s..
The matter is thus referred directly
to the British people. The election is
held. Say the people have returned a
great majority against the lords. They
have spoken. The house elected by the
voters Of the realm will pass law do
ing away with the veto power Of the
lords, and it will end. That is all.
In brief, the will of the British peo-
pie, as expressed through the ballot
box, is the British constitution.

Contrasting candidates have been using
the name Of the Creator frequently late.
~ in their rash vows about what they
would do in Alabama. One swore that
by the grace Of God he would take his
seat as governor on Dec 1. Then the
outgoing governor of Alabama vowed
that another candidate was the proper
" elected one, and that by the grace OF
God he and nobody else would warm
that gubernatorial chair. These gentle
men appear to be taking considerable
for granted in assuming that the AL
mighty bears a hand in the squabbles OF

AZ to Banks.

From the ordinary manner Of bank
cashiers and clerks toward depositors
when they go to put in or draw out
money, especially il it be only small
amount Of money, one supposes that
bank officials are people who know it
all. The humble deposition feels crush
ed beneath the awful glare Of superior
ity with which the cashier contem-
plates him. That godlike being deigns
no greeting Of common oivility as he
automatically reaches out for your
handbook. Bank cashiers and bank
clerks. even down to the smallest mes
senger boy, are perhaps, after all, our
true upper class
It was with surprise not unmin-
gled with horror, therefore, that the
humble deposition heard that deposition,
actually a deposition, had been able to
swindle the New York Shoe and Leath-
or bank out Of $S54,0 He did it in
conjunction with one Of those god1ike
beings, bank official, and the most
" OooON OAO VI u44O 4OU 1uUO UctCSdlu.
For ten years this depositor had been
drawing 5000 a day out Of the bank.
The clerks called him the 5000 day
man. The bookkeeper by his skillful
figuring covered up the gap. The fact
that this stealing has been going on for
ten years in one Of the safest banks in
the Union-that, too, in spite Of the ex-
perts, United States bank examiners and
persons supposed to safeguard deposits
and other funds-shows that it is not
hard, after all, to swindle bank It
somehow lessons our awe and reverence
for the noble and faraway beings who
take our cash and sneer at us while
they take it from behind grated win
dows.
1t even suggests that these noble and
faraway beings would be in better
business if they would turn their supe-
riority inward, behind the grating, and
improve their own honesty and man
ners, likewise their bookkeeping.
