DEAFNESS Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the eustachian tube. When this
tube gets infamed you have arumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, 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 moth
ing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

FROM BONNIE SCOTLAND.
stephen Gait. Formerly of Kenosha, Writes
of Scotch Affairs.


Many of our readers will remember
the venerable Stephen Gait, who was
for years resident of Kenosha. He
resided just south of the city, where he
conducted a truck farm, and his gar
den patch was especially noted for the
luscious strawberries produced thereon.
About three years ago Mr.. Gait, to-
gether with his wife, returned to Scot
land, the land of their birth, and we
feel sure that the few lines herewith
will prove interesting reading to his
old acquaintance
SANDHAvEN, Jan. 15.--MR. EDITOR:
| have waited in hope that the time
would come when | could write to your
paper a few letters, descriptive Of
Scotland and it's people, their condition,
social and political, in fulfllment of a
conditional promise made to you, as
we'll as to many friends, who hope to
hear from me through the columns of
your paper. 1t would have given me
much pleasure to have done so, but the
condition OF my eyes is such that must
not undertake to do so; that is what
my friends say. [ am not quite so much
afraid as they are, but do not think it
would be wise for me to undertake
much writing at this time. My eyes
are not any worse than they were when
! LETT Kenosha, indeed think they are
some better, and am trTing to hope
that the time may come when may
make more use of them than it would
| be wise for me to do now.
There is much going on here now OF
deep interest to all VI 10 want to see the
greatest good to the greatestnumber"
brought about by the making of new
laws that will accomplish that end;
but that is not easily done here for we
have to pull down the old before we
can build up the new, and pulling down
| is the hardest part of the work, for the
old has vast wealth at its back, and in
politics wealth is power, but truth and
right will yet prevail. As for change
in the form of the government, | can
see no evidence of such a thing, my
observation since came here leads me
to believe that there is not per cent.
of the men that want to see republic.
A government under which they have
become rich and powerful, cannot be a
bad form, so they reason. They think
their government the best on earth
The government of the United States
is looked upon by very large part of
our most enlightened people as fail
ure, and say if this is your model re-
public they do not want any such
thing. But it is hard to see ourselves
as others see us, and this is truth
that cuts both ways, but no more OF
this, we have much here that needs to
be put right, our Land Laws and our
established church, to undo will be
nothing short Of q revolution, but it
will be brought about with ballots not
bullets, and great good will come out
of it. [ would like to write you at
greater length, but l must forbear at
present. Dear old friends, you are not
forgotten, there are two old folk here
who often think and speak of you.
You are not forgotten.
Yours truly,
STEPHEN GAIT.

THE ART OF REMEMBERING.

All Sorts OF Systems Have Been in Use
From Time ImmemoriaL
The art Of rendering artificial aid
To tho memory Oy ass ocla Ting In the
MINDS Jnings difficult TO remember
with those which are easy of recollec-
ton is said to have originated with
the Egyptians. The first person to
reduce it to a system was, accord
ing to Cicero, the poet Simonides,
who lived 500 B. c. His plan is known
as the topical. or locality plan. and
was in substance as follows: Choose
a large house, with number of diff
ferently furnished apartments in it.
Impress upon the mind carefully all
that is noticeable in the house, so
that the mind can readily go over all
it's parts Then place series of ideas
in the house; the first in the hall, the
next in the ST tting-room, and so On
with the rest
Now when one wishes to recall
these ideas in their proper success
sion. commence going through the
house, and the idea placed in each de-
partment will be found to readily re-
cur to the mind in connection with it.
It is related that the mnemonic
plan was first suggested to the poet
by a tragic occurrence. Having been
called from banquet just before the
roof of the house fe IL and crushed all
the rest of the comp any, he found on
returning that the bodies were so mu-
tilated that no individual could be
recognized; but by remem bering the
places. which they h al severally oc-
cupied at the table, he was able to
identify them He was thus led to
notice that the order of places may
by association suggest the order of
things.

exclaimed, wal, l don't see how they

thought must be some botanical cur
iosity. She was very much disappoint-
ed when she discovered the plant was

EATS CANDY AND GOES BLIND
ne Peculiar Results Which Follow
New York child's Indulgence.


New York Ghild's indulgence.
Emma Zimmerman, 4-year-old
girl of Bath Beach, which is now
part of the city of Brooklyn, has one
of the strangest Affections on record.
The little one cannot eat anything
sweet like a piece of candy, or pie,
or fruit without becoming blind for
three days. Her remarkable com
plant, it is said, has so far baffied the
skill of the physicians. She is now
under the care of a New York special
list, but he has not been able as yet
to give her any relief. While play
ing with some of her little compan-
ions three days ago Emma ate piece
of candy, and as q result spell of
blindness was brought on, from which
she has not fully recovered. 1t was
about year ago that Emma's disease
first manifested itself She became
suddenly blind, and then after three
days, as mysteriously recovered her
sight. Over her eyes came a filny
white covering that gradually in
creased in thickness, until it produced
total blindness, after which it began
TO grow more transparent. and finally
went away.
After the girl had been afflicted
with several of these spells special
ist was engaged. He was at irst ut
terly at loss to account for the dis
appearance of sight but by series
of experiments with food he demon
strated that sweetmeats were the ex-
citing cause of the blindness. Since
then, al though great care is exercised,
Emma once in while forgets the
dire results that follow the eating of
forbidden dainties, and pays the
penalty of her rash thoughtlessness
by losing her sight for seventy-two
hours.

A Word in Season.

The time to eat is when one Is hum
gry. The time to advertise is when
trade is dull. You will always notice
that the merchant who advertises reg
ularly has few dull days, just as the
man who eats regularly never has the
collie. You can't expect a feast on
special occasions to sustain life for
weeks or months. Neither can bust
ness man expect a squirt in advertising
every six months to make his business
good the year round. 1t is the persis-
tent advertiser who makes it pay.

A Dirty Trade.

One of the dirtiest trades is that of
the weaver of rush chair bottoms. A
well-made rush bottom will last a
long time, and the demand is not
great for such chairs. though their
use is reviving. The rushes come to
the weaver still soiled with some Of
their native ooze, dry and dirty. The
preparation for the work requires the
wetting and twisting of the rushes.
and in this process muddy streams are
wrung out, which trickle over the
worker, and make dirty puddles on
the floor. 1t is just possible that ma
laria germs Turk in the rushes.

the church should do so. All he needed
to change Wilmington was dozen
men who would stand behind him and

Death of Miss NAV c. Primrose.

The wide circle of friends of Miss
May G. Primrose were shocked last
Friday evening by the announcement
of her sudden death. She had been in
town two or three days as the guest of
Miss Hettie Megear, and was prepar-
ing to leave the next morning for her
fathers home, near Greenspring.
Though weak in health, suffering from
an iucurable disease, of consumption,
yet she was able to pay an occasional
visit to her friends, which she enjoyed
heartily.
On Friday evening last Miss Prim-
rose was left in charge of Mrs. Edward
Beck while Miss Hettie Megear went
up town on an arrand. They were sit
ting on the side veranda, pleasantly
engaged in conversation, when Miss
Primrose felt something rising in her
throat. She got up and went to the
edge of the veranda to expectOrate.
Doing so, a severe hemorage of the
lungs set in. and with the last words
81 believe I'm going to die" she fell
back into the arms of Mrs. Beck.
Friendly aid and a physician were
called, but all assistance was unavail-
ing and in ten minutes after the attack
she was dead.
Miss May c. Primrose was the last
of the first wife and three children of
Joseph Fl. Primrose to be carried away
by this dreaded disease. She was just
in the prime of life-30 years of age

SENATOR LEXOw, of the famous in

has been giving his views on the best
method Of conducting a legislative in

views is that they should be in harmony
with the newspapers. After describing
the importance Of being we'll fortified
with material and the utmost harmony
between the committee and counsel, he
says:
"The investigation should have
the undivided support of the best
newspapers; without it failure is almost
certain. Before entered upon the
police investigation l first consulted
with newspaper men to ascertain how
the press would stand in regard to it.
/ was told that the newspapers would
support the investigation with all their
power, provided we did Rot swerve an
inch from the straight alne marked out
for the investigation, They kept their
word, and we owed more than can be
described in words to their support.
They discovered much valuable evil
dence, which they turned over to the
