Story of n California Pioneer.

At n recent gathering Of California
pioneers at Baltimore, one Of the best
stories was told by the secretary Of the
association. John l.. Stieff. He COM
pared the spread" before them with
the pork and beans which were served
in the mining camps twenty-one times
a week, year in and year out. and said
the absence of women in California had
taught him how to appreciate them.
Nearly all the time he was there he
had to do all his own cooking, wash
ing and mending. Part of the time he
was in California he was merchandise
ing and getting such prices rs these for
goods: Long shovels. go: checkered
shirts, SO each; long boots, s3a pair;
copies of the baltimore Sun Of any
date, 81 each; flour, so cents a pound,
and picks, SO each. A stiff" drink OF
whisky was worth about IS.

THE DOG NEVER SPOKE AGAIN.
And the vcntr.loquist Received Three
Hundred Dollars for Him.

And the vcntr!loquist Received Three
Hundred Dollars for Him.
There was once a ventriloquist SO
poor that he was obliged to travel on
foot from town to town 10 save expense,
much after the manner Of the gentle
man Of adventure in Grimm's tales, says
IIarpcr's Young People. One day he
was joined on the road by dog as for
sal,cn as himself but who seemed de-
sirous of becoming his companion.
They journcyed together to the next
town and entered the tavern tired, hun
CRY md pennilcss. Not being troubled
with the inconvcnicnt refinement which
comes from long line of gentle an
cestors, the man had developed the
quality known rs check. SO he and the
dog sat down to eat a supper for which
they could not pay.
The room was full ofloungcrs and the
stranger took conspicuous seat.
What will you have?" asked the only
waiter the place employed. and the
order embraced nearly everything on
the bill Of fare.
But want something for my dog,
too" he added Ask him what he will
have" The waiter muttered some
thing about "Wha.cher giving u.s." so
the stranger said: what, don't you
like to? Well, Bruno, will you have
beef or fish,"
Beef every time" said Bruno, look
ing with mild brown eyes ut the waiter.
And what do yoa drin'i?"
Water, thank yUu," said Bruno.
BY this time the landlord and every
one in the place were eager with sup
pressed wonder and gathered about to
hear the dog talk.
The ventriloquist fcigned indifference
by eating with avidity, while the land
lord was evidently considering some
thing. His cogitn:ion resulted In his
offering the STRANGER three hundred
dollars for his wonderful talking dog.
The vcntriloQuist appeared to hesitate
q moment. then said. abruptly: Yes,
you may have him for three hundred
dollars"
When the money was paid and the
ventriloquist was about to leave he
turned to the dog, patted him affection
atcly, and said: "Good-by, old fellow;
you've been good friend to me-"
.'You are no friend of mine," re-
turned the dog, Ito sell me TO another
master. As you were mean enough to
serve me such trick I'll have revenge.
I'll never speak another word us long
as live"
The ventriloQuist then made off with
all possible haste.

DEADLY DISEASE OF THE TIMES.

The Great Increase In the Number Of
Cases of psrcsis.
In connection with the coch-sure
statement OF Mr.. Howells, says the
Medical Record, that the present race
was never SO healthy and strong rs
now, II Ii interesting tn read the fol-
lowing paragraph written by DR.. 7.
s. Clouston, superintendent Of the
Morningside asylum, Scotland. lie
says:
Zone terrible form Of brain disease,
with mental symptoms, Is certainly in
creasing. That malady might
be described us breakdown of the
great center OF the mind and motion In
the brain. II always goes on from bad
TO worse until It renders its victim ut
tcrly helpless in mind and body and
kills him In few years. No cure and
scarcely any mitigation Of this latter
day curse has yet been devised. II Is n
disease OF cities, Of restless lives, Of
active brains In their prime; sometimes
Of dissipation and dcbauchcry. Of life
ut high pressure commonly"
During the past year the asylums Of
Scotland received $50 new cases; those of
England, 1,4OO cases, and those of Ire
land. 80. The asylum statistics Of this
country show an even greater number.
In single asylum in this state, for
example, that OF Ogdcnburg, there
were among $50 admissions 81 cases of
general paresis. This would make the
proportion Of general t,aresis over per
cent.
Among seven state asylums, to which
1893 patients were admitted In 1890,
there were 90 cases Of general paresis,
or n little over per cent. II 4 per
cent. be the general ratio Of this dis
ease In the state Of New York, then the
total number Of paretics among the
u, 900 insane would be about $40. AS a
matter Of fact, the number Is greater,
because the proportion of this disease
Is larger In the New York and Kings
county asylums than In those of the state
ut large. hut even II there were but
1000 cases Of general paresis among
the 100000 insane people Of this couu'
try II would be the extraordinary evil
dence Of the development Of u disease
which In the last century was certainly
not known even II II did exist.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way TO
cure deafness and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inilamed condition OF
the mucous lining of the Eustachi-
an tube. When this tube gets in
ilamed, you have n rumbling sound
Or imperfect hearing. and when II is
entirely closed deafness ID the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and the tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh. which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
