Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumblinS
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 it's normal condi-
tion hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

LARGE LOG CUT.

Minnesota Lumbernen Now Hoping for
Wet Spring.
Minneapolis, Mimi, March 22.-Spe-
Gals to the Journal say that the log cut
in the pine regions of Minnesota is about
concluded and that it is about one-fourth
larger than last years cut. This in
crease is largely due to the forest fires,
which made it necessary TO cut the logs
this year in order to save them. The
water in the water courses is not as
high as ordinary at this season of the
year and the lumbermen are depending
Oh a wet spring to permit easy driving.
If that fails several million feet Of logs
will be hung up with little chance of
getting them TO mill

Depend upon pure, rich. red, nourshing,

their sustenance from the blood and when
they are weak it is because they do not re-

opiate or sedative compounds. These

ENGLAND'S BATTLESHIPS.
The New Gun Which is Mounted on
the Latest Vessels.

The ships of the Majestic and
MAGNIFICENT class, EnglaDd's latest
battleships are to be armed with
new type Of weapon In their main
batteries. A new gun mounting has
also been designed, and both piece
and carriage are now undergoing
severe tests. The gun is a 12-inch
breech - loading rifle. A service
journal says that in it a compromise
has been effected between the 10 inch
gun of the Centurion and the 1876
inch gun of the Royal Sovereign
class. 1t can be fired quicker than
the lighter weapon, and inhicts
greater damage than the heavier,
says the New York Times. In the
Royal Sovereigns and Admirals the
guns have to be brought to fixed
loading station, and the barbette
locked before the loading can be
commenced, but here an alternative
central loading system is provided,
in addition to the fixed loading
station, so that the guns can be load
ed at any position of training; and
one can he kept pointed at the
enemy while the other Is being load
ed. Every operation, such as train
ing, elevating, loading, etc., can be
performed by hand as we'll as by
hydraulic power. The gun is loaded
in the run out position which it takes
up after firing, due to the action of
the powerful springs which are COM
pressed during recoiI, and as the gun
runs out after recoil the breech is
automatically opened, being again
instantly closed after loading by
moving a lever. The loading ar
rangements are also very novel, and
are designed with a view to saving
time, for, while in the Royal Sover-
eign it takes about two and half
minutes to fire round, in the new
gun a minute and half is sufficient.
Made of steel and wire, the gun
weights about forty seven tons, and,
with the mounting, will be protected
by powerful shield mounted on the
turntable, as in the Centurion.
Cordite ammunition is to be used,
the weight of the charge being about
$50 pounds. The probable life" of
the gun has not yet been ascertained,
but it is so constructed as to survive
by many rounds the 13.5-inch
weapon.

he did not believe there was
any foundation to the story. He
thought the Germans needed all
their meu-of-war in the vicinity OF
the China coast.
The schooner Aloha, which left
San Francisco on March 18th, will
bring twenty-five packages of arms
and ammunition for this port.
Aside from these she has a large
cargo of general merchandise.
The Matilda will not discharge
her cargo until the Alden Besse
has finished. In the meantime
the officers of the vessel are giving
her a good overhauling. 1t is gra-
tifying to see the manner In which
some of the vessels in port are kept
up. The Matilda is probably the
oldest vessel here now, yet she
looks as good as new. Captain
Swenson deserves a great deal of
credit for his constant watchful-
ness.

The Amelia shifted over to the

er Independent yesterday. The
Alden Besse was toWed into the
place left vacant by the Amelia.
On account of it's lightness, one
of the boxes of Japanese confec-
tions brought by the Independent
was opened yesterday. 1t was
found that nearly all of the sweets
had been taken out.
The Independent began dis
charging yesterday, and succeeded
in getting out about half of her
cargo. The sailors of this vessel
are all Chinese, with the exception
of one Japanese fireman.
The Australia arrived yesterday
morning at 8 80, having left San
Francisco at 10 q. m. on March

5 days, % hours and 80 minutes.
Light to strong n. E. winds and
fine weather was the experience
throughout the trip. The Australia
brought az cabin and II steerage
passengers, together with sixteen
bags of mail.
The big steamer Arawa is ex-
pected in port onThursday next,
says the S. F. Examiner of March
11tb, and a dredger will be put to
work deepening the berth alongside
the Oceanic wharf for her. The
last time she was here she rested
on the bottom at low tide while ly-
ing at the wharf, and there was
some difficulty in getting her clear
of the mud when she sailed.
There was quite lively street
fight yesterday noon just outside
the main gate of the Oceanic wharf.
A Portuguese and negro were the
principals and the result was a
draw. The two got into a dispute
inside the Oceanic wharf. There
were a series of rather questionable
addresses and the pair rushed fol-
the street, where a clinch was the
result. No damage resulted tc
either of the combatants.
There was a rumor abroad yes
terday that a German man of-wal
would arrive here from Kobe
japan, in the near future. The
mate of the Independent which il
lately from the Japan coast, was
interviewed yesterday. He stated

A HORRIBLE FATE.

Long she stood at the window and
mused. The rays of the setting sun
entangled themselves in her Titan
hair, or surrounded her glorious
height of five feet eight with an aure-
ate halo. Proud, queenly, limbed
like a goddess, she was indeed Il mag
nifcent specimen of femininity.
"Strange," she muttered. And then
a soft, self-pitying, half-happy smile
fitted across her face like CLEAN OF
April sunshine. "Strange," she NUT
tered again, "to think that /, who
only six short months ago was the
quarterback of the Emancipated
Maidens' Football Eleven, should have
lost my heart to man whose collar is
a size and half smaller than mine.
But such is fate. And l love him !"
Carelessly picking up a forty-pound
dumbbell she tossed it out of the win
dow and then sought her boudoir.-

A Wonderful Stone Saw.

A newly devised stone saw that has
been put IN operation in West Phila-
delphia is demonstrating extraordinary
cutting powers as compared with
former processes. 1t is the inven tion
of an expert stone mason and carver.
By tests made with the saw, using a
chilled-iron shot abrader and cutting
through the hardest of all brown
stone, known as the Hummellstown,
using block of stone ten feet by six
inches long and two feet two inches
in thickness, the following results
were attained:
The first cut through was made in
one and three-quarters hours, the
second, with increased feed, in one
hour, and the third cut, with the full
limit of speed, in three-quarters of
an hour, which is equal to cutting
thirty-three inches per hour. Four
inches per hour has been considered
good work in the ordinary mills of
the country with other saws.
Thin slabs are also cut, leaving no
ridges on the face of the pieces after
cutting, although the saw passed
through various veins of flint.
In the improved saw is used a
lineal or horizontal motion, while in
other saws the pendulum motion has
been depended on. Further, the i'm
proved has a thinner blade, with
thicker teeth, which allows the abrad-
ing material to fall down between the
teeth to the bottom of the kerf.-

He Killed Snnprstltion.

The Count de Lesseps never seemed
to lose sight of the education of his
children, even in the smallest detail.
One morning at breakfast beautiful
Dresden teacup was broken. "Ahp
cried the Countess, "a disaster Two
more of that set will now be broken.
1t always happens so. "Are you 50
superstitious, asked the Count, "ai
really to believe that two more will he
broken?" 81 know it," "rhen let
us get it off our minds" And, taking
up two of the cups by the handles, he
dashed them together. The anger and
dismay of the Countess proved con-
clusively that she had not seriously
held to her superstition. 1t also
loosened any hold the absurd idea
may have had On the minds of the
children. New York Recorder.

you NEVER CAN TELL.

You can never tell when you send word
Like an arrow shot from bow
BY an archer blind-be Il cruel or kind,
Just where II will chance to go.
II may pierce the breast of your dearest
friend,
Tipped with its poison or balm;
To strangers heart in life's great mart
1t may carry its pain or It's calm.
You never can tell when you do an act
Just what the result will be;
But with every deed you are sowing a seed,
Though its harvest you may not see.
Each kindly act Is an acorn dropped
In Gods productive soil;
Though you may not know, yet the tree shall
grow
And shelter the brows that toll.
You mover can tell what your thoughts will
do
In bringing you hate or love;
For thoughts are things, and their airy
wings
Are swifter than carrier doves.
They follow the law of the universe
Each thing must create its kind;
And they speed o'er the track to bring you
back
Whatever went out from your mind.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in Munsey.
