REAp1Na A HARVEST.
A New Populist Scheme That Will
Bear Investigation.

A new scheme for getting money
out Of the farmers is being operated
by the Populists. 1t is q good one,
too, for the managers, According to
the estimates Of those posted in the
matter, about $1,000 has been taken
out Of Buckeye township alone in the
past SIX months by II. 1t is an in
surance scheme with several double
jointed back action features which
are calculated to dazzle and attract
the guileless agriculturalist. For in
stance husband and wife are insured
under a joint policy. II the husband
dies the wife collects the insurance
and vice versa. II one suffers loss Of
a limb or eye there Is a payment Of q
portion OF the insurance. Assess
ments are heavy for new institu-
ton and although ordered for each 60
days may be levied ~ often US the
officers wish which, 1t may be pre-
dlcted, will be as often ~ the policy
holders will stand ii.
Many Of the leading Populists are
refusing to have anything to do with
the matter but others are ilocking in
and filling the ranks.

THE HUMAN EAR.
A Notable Lecture on the Sense Of
Hearing BY Dr.. Hartman.

During the course Of one Of Dr.
Hartman's lectures at the Surgical
hotel, he said: "Good hearing is es
sential to health and safety. A con
tlnual roaring, cracking, and buzzing
in the head, which is always produced
by partial loss of hearing, is a con-
slant nervous irritation which will
gradually undermine the strength.
Besides this, even slight loss Of
hearing renders any one more liable
to accident, many persons being
killed every year because Of partial
deafness. Many people think that a
gradual loss Of the sense Of hearing is
inevitable, and that every one must
submit to 1t sooner or later. Hence
they make no attempt to find cure.
This is a great mistake. Loss Of
hearing, either in the old or young
people, is nearly always due to
chronic catarrh Of the head or middle
ear
Catarrhal deafness is due to catarrh
Of the throat passing 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
hearing. II not cured the hearing
will be entirely destroyed. When the
case has not already gone too far be-
fore the treatment is begun Pe-ru-na
Will cure every case. 1t Is only after
catarrh has destroyed portions Of the
middle ear that Pe-ru-na fails to cure.
All such cases should write to DR..
Hartman, Columbus, Ohio, for fur
Their advice.
A book on la grippe, coughs, colds,
catarrh, etc, will be sent free to any
address by The pe-ru-na Drug Manu-

Birds in Winter Storms.

That great snow storms are destruc
tive to our larger birds, as the crows,
and even to robins and blackbirds, is
known, and how it happens that they
do not at such times fly beyond the
storms area is not readily explained;
but the small seed-eating birds fare
pretty well, judging from appearances.
There was a lively little kinglet to-day,
the only n ] saw, that peeped into
every uncovered Granny of the bark of
an old oak, and once, I know, pulled
something ont which it swallowed.
The tall weeds that now were bent
with snow would soon stand upright
again and then the seeds that still
were held intact would be found by
the busy sparrows. As to the white
Threats, or Peabody birds, they al
ways seemed to lazy too eat.-Lippin-

MISTAKEN FOR GUESTS,
Detectives Sometimes Caus Embarras
ment at Social Functions,

Detectives Sometimes Cause Embarrass
ment at Social Functions.
Detectives when they attend socia
functions in a professional capacity
dress for the occasion.
At an afternoon reception they weal
frock coats. and evening clothes at on,
at night. The men who do this sort O
work r generally selected for thei1
unpolicemanlike appearance. The re
suit is that they are mistaken fol-
guests even more often than the wait
ers are, for they are not obliged te
have shaver faces to prevent such
blunders.
A story is told of a bride who found
time to notice that a well-appearing
man at her reception seemed to know
no one. In her happiness she pitied
his lonliness, and going up to him pro-
posed to introduce him to some ada
cent pretty girls. The man became
embarrassed, and murrnured something
which she did not understand. She
was about taking his arm to lead him
up to one Of the pretty girls, when her
husband said:
Louisa, what are you doing? That's
the detective!'
When laughed at afterward for he,
mistake, the bride said in Justification
of herself that the detective was a good
deal more ~presentable than most of the
men guests.-N. Y. Sun.
