THE HUMAN EAR.
A Notable Lecture ON the Sense of Hear.
ing by Dr. Hartman.


ing by Dr. Hartman.
During the course of one of DR..
Hartman's latest lectures at the Sur
gical Hotel, he said: "Good hearing is
essential to health and safety. A con.
tinual roaring, cracking and buzzing
in the head, which is always produced
by partial loss of hearing, is a constant
nervous irritation which will gradual
ly undermine the strength. Besides
this, even a slight loss of hearing rem
ders any one more liable to accident,
many persons have been killed every
year because of a partial deafness.
Many people think that gradual loss
of the sense of hearing is inevitable,
and that every one must submit to it
sooner or later. Hence they make no
attempt to find cure. This is great
mistake. Loss of hearing, either in
the old or young people, is nearly al
ways due to chronic catarrh of the
head or middle ear"
Catarrhal deafness is due to catarrh
of the throat passing up through the
Eustachian tubes to the middle ear
The catarrh in rare cases originates in
and remains confined to the middle
ear. The symptoms are: Roaring,
cracking, buzzing in the ear, with
gradually increasing difficulty in hear
ing. If not cured the hearing will be
entirely destroyed. When the case
has not already gone too far before
the treatment is begun Pe-ru-na will
cure every case. 1t is only after ca
tarrh has destroyed portions of the
middle ear that Pe-ru-na fails to cure.
All such cases should write DR.. Hart
man, Columbus, Ohio, for further adj
vice.
A book on la grippe, coughs, colds,
catarrh, etc, will be sent free to any
address by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manu-
featuring Company, of Columbus,
Ohio.

The Truck Farmers Mistake.

The greatest enemies to success in
truck growing are extravaganza and
Incidence The person who in cotton
culture got along well on $500 year,
in truck growing spends from $500 to
$1,000 year. If the ordinary grower
would place check on his eXpendi-
lures, the result would be money to his
credit. But the ordinary grower is no
better off on the 1st of August than is

Making Wall Finer.

It is very interesting to go through a wall paper factory and follow the processes of manufacture. The designs are tho first things observed. Formerly there was scarcity of these, but now there is a flood, and manufacturer must exercise much artistic taste and business ability in mak- ing selections. One was submitted to Q New England manufacturer recently by Q woman who stated that it was dictated by spirits. Tho least that can be said of it is that it was not desirable.
 Various designers have different special ties-some flowers, others architectural ideas etc.---and of recent years architects have devoted many of their spare moments to originating all paper designs.
 A complet design consists Of three pieces -sido wall bordcr and ceiling. The gen eral width of patterns of tho side wall and ceiling as used in the trade and Inanufae- tured by American machinery is Is inches, and tho length of tho repeat in the pattern is either IF. or 1424 or 17s4 inches, IS suggested b. the character of the dcsigr, the shorter repeats being tho most satis- factory to the trade in general.
 Many of tho best effects are produced in papers containing only four to six colors, but as many as 20 or % gro sometimes used Each color and shade in n design means separate roller to tho manufac- turer.-Boston Herald.

A Smart Witness.

Norfolk, Va, July 1.-The sky was dark, the rain came down in torrents, nevertheless the counsel representing the plaintiff in the Massey-Pilot libel suit were all smiles when court ad- journed at o'clock this afternoon. MT. McGillvary, secretary of the board of ed- and was put through a most trying and rigid examination, and had come out in the opinion of the friends of MT. Massey, with flying colors. He impressed every one with the idea that he was fully able to take care of himself, in fact Messrs. Thom, Walker and Nicely had little more to do than to sit back in their chairs and smile at his adeptness in meeting MT. Wise and other counsel for the defense in their efforts to put him lin a hole" He would not be trapped, and more than once when he was in the act of explaining some circumstances relat- ing to the operations of the board of ed- ucation, effort was made to cut him off by counsel for the defense, when Mir. Mo Gillvary, with composure and determina- tion, would go with his story saying at the time that he would explain because he had a right to explain. Not once, when he got into one of his comprehen- sive moods, were they able to stop him.
 The day was devoid of the expected sensations, save that it developed that witness named Deele was the corre- spondent who some time ago inserted in the New York World an article seriously refiecting upon the integrity of Messrs. Massey and Womack.

4 Kind Ynice.

There is no power of love so hard to get and to keep as kind voice. A kind hand is deaf and dumb. It may be rough in flesh and blood, yet do the work of soft heart, and do it with soft touch. But there is no one thing that love so much needs as a sweet voice to tell what it means and feels, aud it is hard to get end keep it in the right tono. One must start in youth and be on the watch night and day, ut work cnd at play, to get and keep voice that shall speak at all times the thoughts of kind heart. It is often in youth that one gets voice or n tone that is sharp, and it sticks to him through life, and stirs up ill will and grief, and falls like drop of gall on the sweets of home. Watch it day by day as pearl of great price, for it will be worth more to you in days to come than the best pearl hid in the seas. A kind voice is to the heart what light is to the eye. It is q light that sings as well as shines.-Elihu Burritt.

Royal Bills.

It is the etiquette of tho Paris trade never to send bill to kings or queens. until they have lost their thrones and joined the ranks of the "kings in exile" ," One celebrated Paris dressmaker employs a secretary at s2, 900 year for almost the sole purpose of reminding ladies of high rank, while seeming not to do so, that they owe money and that payments are desirable. Most of the queens however, pay with reasonable promptness, but tho best customers of French dressmakers and millincrs are the ladies of the Egyptian seraglios, who never complain about the costumes sent them, and who pay the bills without protest.

FOR SHOWING "QUEER' William 1. Lavender, White, and William Bell, COIored, Are Held in Prism.

William l.. Lavender, a white man, and William Bell, colored, were arrested at a late hour last night by Officer New man on a charge of passing counterfeit money. The spurious money said to have been passed by them purported to be a $5 silver certificate. Both Lavender and Bell deny having passed the money
 An Italian fruit vendor at Avenue A and Twentieth street reported to Officer Newman yesterday afternoon that a negro had brought a $5 bill to him to get 1t changed. He said he remarked to the negro after giving him the change that the bill looked like counterfeit, and the
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-07-02

negro told him if it wasn't all right to bring it back to him. Later in the day the Italian gave the money to some one else in payment of bill and it was turned back on him.
 William Bell, the negro under arrest, says he got the Italian to change a $5 bill for him, but says the bill shown by the Italian Is not the one he gave him. Bell says he got the bill he gave the Italian from William L. Lavender, bar tender at Smiths saloon, Southside.
 Lavender says he gave Bell S5 bill and asked him to get it changed for him. He denies, however that the bill the Italian had was the one he gave Bell
 Lavender and Bell were both locked up iR the city jail and the charge, suspicion, docketed against them.
 About 1 o'clock this morning Officer Newman went before United States Com missioner Wilson and swore out war rant against both parties charging them With passing counterfeit money.

Men and Mourning.

A gentleman wears doop mourning for a wife or mother for not less than one year. During that time his business suit is of rough black cloth and his frock coat of tho same. The proper black band, usually of fine cloth (not erapo), is put on his hat by tho natter. His scarf is dull silk, and no pin is in it. His gloves arc heavy black glace kid but no border save that of nar- row hem is seen on his all white handkor- chiefs. His small visiting card and his stationery have narrow black border. Etiquette lightcns his loneliness by per hitting him to visit his men friends two months after he has assumed mourning. Alone or with man friend hc may go, quietly and not in evening dress, to pulp lie place of amusement, but he cannot go with lady or be ono of party.-Ladies' Home Journal

NOT A CANDIDATE.
Gov. John Young Brown of Kentucky Not in
 the Senatorial Race.

Frankfort, Ky, July 1.-Gov. John Young Brown tonight gave out a card withdrawing from the senatorial race. Recent family bereavements in the death of his daughter and the untimely loss of his son are the principal causes for his action. He is for free silver, and it was his purpose to make an active canvass of rlTe seate to begin the day before the mur- der of h.s son. The card is as follows:
 Two mcf1.hs ago I decided to with draw from the contest for United States senator. A number of my friends had Knowledge of my purpose. I am no lcnger a candidate. My reasons are pure ly personal in their nature, and the pub ile would not be interested in a statement of them. I am profoundly grateful to friends who have given me assurance of their support. will also renew the ex- pressions of my gratitude to those who made me the governor of the state. I have faalnfully tried to discharge all the duties of this exalted trust with unwaver- ing fidefisy to the constitution and laws, and with the earnest desire to promote the best interest of the people. When my term shall close I hope to leave behind me an unstained record.

HOW BUCHANAN DIED Went to the Chair With Grim
 Determination TO DEFEAT JUSTICES ENDS Autopsy Showed His Remarkable IenacIty. Many Efforts to Save Him All
 Without Avail.

Sing Sing, July 1.--Nothing was heard from Buchanan's counsel this morning until a few minutes before the execution, and it was believed they had exhausted every means of further prolonging his life and had given up the case. At Ills o'clock, however the following message was received by Warden Sage, signed by Arthur Bolts and George w. Gibson. sem
 Opinion of attorney general mislead- ing and misstates facts as to appeal. Buchanan's case is in the supreme court of the United States and your author ity is stayed. You must choose between supposed duty to the state and obedience to the supreme laws of our country"
 No attention was paid to the message, which was simply a protest and had no force in law
 About the same time the following mes sage was received from Governor Nor toms amanuensds:
 "Rhinecliff, N. Y, July 1. "To O. V. Sage, Warden:
 "The governor informs me he has no further communication to make to you. He informed Mrs. Buchanan this morn- ing he could not interfere
 Before the autopsy Dr. Gibbs made the following statement:
 T think the cause for the apparent part failure of the application was that the straps were drawn too tight about the neck and chin, perhaps preventing the immediate expulsion of air from the lungs and therefore caused the slight pulsation of the heart which we ob- served. I believe Buchanan was uncon- scious after the first shock and was be- yond resuscitation before the current was turned off the first time. The evi- dence of life which we found, however, was sufficient to render it necessary, in our opinion, to apply the current the sec ond time. There can be no doubt of the fatality of the second shock. The entire time of the execution from the time it was turned off to the second time was less than two minutes, and am con-

Progressive Euchre Did It.

Memphis, Tenn. July 1.-Rev. John A. Brooks, who has been pastor of the large and influential Christian church here for more than two years, gave up the charge yesterday and left for Kentucky, where he will engage in evangelical work. This course was entirely out of the ordinary, and was not clearly intimated by the pastor in his farewell talk on Sunday. It develops that it was due to the persist ence of several women of his flock, leaders in society, in playing progressive euchre and similar games, where prizes were contested for. After exhausting his powers of persuasion and Christian counsel Dr. 3roc - announced to them that their social practices must cease or he would resign. The issue was made and his resignation was accepted. The same issue Is said to have caused his predecessor to give LID the pastorate

The war den promised to keep the body a reason able time and showed his practical sym pathy by starting a subscription in her behalf, to which nearly all the officers of iae prison and witnesses of the ex- ecution contributed.
 George w. Gibbons, one of Buchanan's counsel, this evening notified Warden Sage that he would assume all expenses in connection with Buchanan's interment and he commissioned a New York under taker to take charge of the matter.
