PERFECT REST FOR THE EAR.

A Sound-Killer that Gives Peace and
Quiet Midst the City's Roar.
A man cannot control hearing as he
does sight, or feeling, or taste. One can
close the eyes IL he does not want to
see; no one can be compelled to taste
or to smell unless he. chooses to, but
how can any one keep out OF noises,
near or distant, which in large cities
abound in numberless variety?
Railroads, steamboats,, factories,
foundries, trolleys, street cars, pianos,
organs, blacksmiths, and what not
unite in making life almost unbearable.
TO put cotton in both ears, as often sug-
gested, does not give sufficient relief.
An optical concern near Berlin has
patented and manufactures n little ar
ticle which bids fair to become an abso-
lutte necessity for many jewellers in
large cities. The euphonious name
given to it. 'antiphone." indicates its
usage. In plain English this means
'sound-killer, and the object is to give
the one sense that needs it most much
needed rest. 1t is but a small anchor
shaped piece of metal. The ball at the
lower end figure u fits closely into the
outer canal Of the ear. while the fiat
tened upper part sits snugly in the hol-
low of the ear.
The human ear varies greatly in
shape, and the antiphone is, therefore,
made In many sizes to fit anybody; as
much care should be taken in fitting
antiphones as in eyeglasses.

The Blue Pencil in Turkey.

A paragraph was published In an
Arabic journal referring to the cele
brated soprano, Nine. Adelina Patti,
wherein 1t was stated that she derived
by her singing yearly income Of sew
eral thousand pounds. The blue pencil
was hastily dashed across the lines,
the reason adduced being that such
news would disturb the souls Of the
moral and loyal female subjects of the
finest pearl of the age" What this
meant the censor alone could tell, I'M
less it be he feared that some OF these
paragons of morality and loyalty should
take 1t into their heads to emulate the
gifted artistic In amassing wealth by
singing, or in any other way by which
money may be procured.
Another curious within of this func.
tionary Is to Glide certain letters from
the proper names Of individuals that
may be published in the press. The
name Of a certain person known as l..
iSultan once appeared in paper. The
II" was crossed out, making the name
read as /. Sulta. In justification Of this
act 1t was said that there was only one
Sultan in the world; none other must
be called by that name Yet that par
ticular persons father and grandfather
were always known among their friends
by the surname of Sultan, in the same
manner as there are in England many
fomilies known by the name Of King
The Nineteenth Century.

;. Morgan's GRAND and repeated much

Mr.. Morgan's errand and repeated much
of their conversation to him, but Mr..
Carlisle's private secretary said that his
resignation would not be asked for and
that he would not voluntarily tender it.
What explanation the President may
have given Mr.. Morgan as TO his attitude
concerning the currency bill is unknown,
and he is no more communicative than a
sphinx on the subject to the members of
his cabinet. One of them, who is opposed
to the bill. said to-day that the measure
had never been discussed in cabinet meet
ing, and all he had to go upon was the
concluding paragraph of the recent mes
sage, which, in general terms, Endorsed
the recommendations of the Secretary of
the Treasury, and urged the necessity of
some kind of revenue reform. He had
not heard the President say a word on the
subject since. and could not say whether
he approved the pending bill, but it was
at least inconsistent with his previous
ideas and public utterances on the sub
ject of sound money. Nor was the pend
ing bill an exact formulation of the sug-
gestions in the treasury report, so that il
could not be assumed the President was
committed to it. He doubted the report
that Mr.. Cleveland intends to send spe-
cial message to Congress on the subject.
He had not heard of any such intention
and was inclined to believe the contrary.

DEMAND HIS HEAD.
J. Pierpont Morgan and Other Wall
Street Magnates Urge the President
60 Get New Secretary of the Treas
ury-The Currency Bill.


Washington special: Mr.. j. Pierpont
Morgan, the famous New York banker,
and some of the other gentlemen who
were taken into the Presidents confidence
last fall concerning an issue Of bonds have
been making a secret visit to the White
House on an important errand. They
asked the removal of John q. Carlisle for
the reason that he has demonstrated his
unfitness to manage the finances OF the
country and that his continuance In Office
will imperil the public credit and retard
improvement in the financial condition of
the country. Mr.. MorganSAnd his asso-
ciates also endeavored to ASCERTAIN where
the President stands With regard to the
currency bill now under CONSIDERATION by
the House of Representatives.
President Cleveland is said by those
who associate with him to be very angry
at this demand of the Workers for
Carlisle's head. He is exceedingly in
dignant that coterie of bankers should
have the effrontery to poke their noses
into the administrative affairs of the
government, demanding the dismissal Of
an official whom the President has hon
ored with his confidence. 1t is pretty GER
tain that they got no satisfaction. 1t
may be confidently stated that the Presi-
dent declined to ask for Mr.. Carlislels
resignation, but he is believed to have
promised to look after the finances him
self during the remainder of his admins
tration. 1t is known and admitted that
the President informed Mr.. Carlisle Of

DR.. PIERCE'S
Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures Mnefy-eighf per cent. of all
cases of Consumption, In all Its
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be incura-
BILE, there Is the evidence Of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that in all its
earlier stages, consumption Is a durable
disease. Not every case, but a large per-
6enfdge Of cases, and we believe, fully %
per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed SO far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been SO pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever In mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial Of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses in curative power over this
fatal Inalady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time Extract of malt, whiskey.
and various preparations Of the hypophos-
phtes had also been faithfully tried In vain.
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
catarrh and kindred naladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.

Introduction of the adjuncts of Western
civilization is breaking down, but this
does not appear to be the case in Tur-

application in evidence in the country
up to the present is the telegraph, and
although'large sums have been offered
the government for electric lighting and
telephone privileges, these have been
withheld. The story goes that when
