NO said the other, tits neuralgia

Oil was suggested as the world
renowned cure for it. Did she try it?
Yes, and was. cured by it and married
zone of the fellows afterwards. The
use of the great remedy for pain will
not bring about a marriage, but in its
cure of pain it will bring about con-
ditions of health to make life more
enjoyable. No man or woman ought
to marry who is sufferer from
chronic pains. We should not wed woe
to win only wretchedness.

He Ensr.

There is vast difference between
learned man and an ignofamus.
For instance, when Fogg asked Dun
dahead how it was that birds could
fly, Dundahead could only reply:
Cause they can"
But when Kutchins was asked the
same question, he settled his head in
his collar, pursed up his lips, and de-
livered himself thus:
The secret Of the birds fight is
due entirely to the fact that the bird
possesses the power to sustain. itself in
and to propel itself through the air. ("
Fogg very truely remarks that the
solution seems easy enough after it is
found, but none but wise man would
have discovered it. Boston Tran

Deafness Can Not 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 constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition Of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is infamed you have a
rnmbling 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 its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
aamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

DRESS SUITS 70 RENT.
Facts About tho Bnslness. tho Prices
and the Men Who Hire Than.

n
and tho Men Who Hire Them.
More men than ever buy dress suits
nowadays, and more dress suits are
hired also. There are In New York
probably fifty or sixty places where
dress suits can be hired, says the Sun
OF that city, The cost varies from
nifty csnts to SO a night, depending on
iocalJtfes and the character of the suit.
lbc wearers of hired dress suits in
clude guests in hotels and visitors in
the city who have unexpectedly found
need OF dress suit. Dress suits are
sent daily in the season from this city
TO Brooklyn and Long island, Hoboken,
Jersey City and Staten island, and
frequently to places further away.
+, There is one establishment whose
sole business is renting dress suits.
Generally the business is carried on in
connection with some other trade.
Some men hire q dress suit once
season, others two or three times, and
others again hire them season after
season, thus avoiding the trouble of
keeping dress suits of their own in
order. AT the establishment devoted ex-
1us>~ety to the business there are kept
IA stock from $50 to $50 suits. The
suits are of good quality and fashion
ably cut. The charges run from 81
to S3 dollars. The latter price might
be charged for suit that had never
been worn. A party of dozen or
fifteen men hiring together would get
them AFT al IN each Som ati,nao a.,
tire clubs, perhaps fifty or sixty men,
hire suits for a ball or reception. In
such cases they get them at perhaps
vi suit. When strangers want to
hire dress suits depoite is sometimes
required, usually $50 or $25.
The ordinary life of a dress suit is
about two years. After that it is let
at a lower price, perhaps $3.50, to be
worn in amateur minstrel entertain
ments, or for uses entailing harder
wear than it would be likely to get in
ordinary social service. In their final
estate the coats are sold to walters for
$3.50 or So. Such coats may be in
good order, and not much worn but
not in the current style.
OF course winter is the best season
for this business, but there is some
thing doing the year round. 1t is not
unusual for men going away over Sun
day to hire dress suits to take away
with them. The best months of the
year are January and February; the
greatest demand OF all comes on the
nights of the great public balls
