"Well, you might give me about $50,

Ever since he was a baby he has been

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 gets infamed you have q
rumbling 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 al in
famed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that can not be cured by Halls Catarrh

The adoption by the Prussian gov
eminent of boots with aluminium pegs
for nails for the use of their infantry
suggests a number Of new uses for
this metal. An enterprising manufac-
turer of shoes is to have his goods
sewed with aluminium threads, or fine
wire. 1t is extremely durable, much
lighter than any other equally strong
material and will neither corrode nor
lose it's strength from dampness. An
other use for aluminium is for the tops
of umbrella ribs and the wire and
wheel by which they are held in place.
1t is a well understood fact that many
umbrellas are spoiled by the rusting
and breaking Of the wire that holds
the ribs. The adoption of a non-cor-
rosive metal will add greatly to the
durability of these articles.

1t is a good many years ago since
the first attempts were made in Ger
many to apply electricity as a motive
power in blowing. The experiment
was in reality quite successful, but
there seemed no way then of greatly
simplifying the apparatus or of rem
dering the method cheap. Recently
some remarkable improvements have
been made in electric plows, and the
problem of supplying electric current
also nears solution. In the work done
hitherto the trouble has chiefly con
sisted in getting the current from the
generator to the motor that drives the
plow. This is met by mounting the
current cable on light rollers held by
clamps. the rollers following readily
the movements of the pillow. This is
not all. however. A chain is stretched
along the line Of the furrow and an
chored at each end. This chain winds
on and off Il drum on the motor pillow.
At the end of a furrOw the motor is
reversed by a switch, the anchors are
shifted Il space quickly. and the work
goes steadily on. The cost at Halle
was found in these trials to be sur
prisingly small, and allowing every
change only amounted to half that for
animal power. AS to methods of plac-
ing 81 CHI a system within the reach of
farmers, it is suggested that they
should associate together, just as they
do i'll creamery work. 1t has also
been pointed out that there is a great
demand for light electric railways in
rural districts, and that nothing would
be easier than to tap the railway cir
cults for all the power required. TIKI
waste of animal energy in farm opera
tons is one of the marvels of the close
of the nineteenth century.

GRASS Is KINGI

Grass rules. 1t Is the most valuable
crop of America, worth more than
either corn or wheat. Luxurious
meadows are the farmers delight. A
positive way to get them, and the only
one we know, is to SOW Salzsr's Extra
Grass Mixtures. Many of our farmer
readers praise them and say they get
4 to 6 tons of magnificent hay per acre
from salzer's seeds. Over n hundred
different kinds of Grass, Clover and

Discovered u New Dance.

A young tot of an East ender came
home from dancing school the other
day and very proudly remarked to her
father, Papa, Use dancing the horse
to-day"
Dancing the horse" repeated the
pater, who thought that perhaps since
his society days some new dance had
been invented of which he did not
know, "now what is dancing the horse,

The little one expressed the utmost
surprise at the ignorance OF her father,
and persisted that she was dancing the
horse. The riddle was solved when the
child's nurse came in and said that she
meant she had learned to dance the
gaiop that day.-Pittsburg Dispateh.

This story is, beyond doubt, original
to Japan in it's present form, but it
bears a remarkable resemblance to an
other celebrated judgment given more
than two thousand years ago on the
other side of the world.
About a century and a half ago a
woman who was a servant in the house
of a daimyo had a little girl born to
her. But it was inconvenient for her
to have the child with her in the
daimyo's mansion, and so h put the
little one out to nurse with a woman
in the neighboring village. The child
grew to be very intelligent, and the
, foster-mother, who was a heartless
woman, thought she saw an oppor-
tunity to earn money through the girls
services, and determined to keep her.
Accordingly, when the mothers term
of service expired, and she came to get
back her child, the foster-mother treat
ed her claim as false, said the child
was her own, and utterly refused to
give her up.
SO at last they came before Okla, the
town magistrate of 1edo, who, after
some thought, hit upon a novel plan OF
deciding. He placed the child between
the two mothers, had each one take an
arm of the child, and then ordered
them to pull! He could then tell, he
said. which one deserved to have the
child. The fOster-mother, thinking only
of winning, pulled with all her might
but the true mother, full of her atfec'
ton for her child, couldn't bear to in
fict on it such brutal pain; and she lei
90 as soon as she felt the other woman
pulling. 1.-THE child Is mine!' exclaim
ed the foster-mother, triumphantly
Not sou said Okla, sternly; you are
p~retender; this other is the + moth
err"
Then the false mother confessed hel
deception, and begged for pardon. I'M
people, when they heard of the Judg
ment, were full of admiration Tor TN
penetration and sagacity of their grea'
magistrate.

Hints to Those Who Carry Umbrellas

An electric expert says: II have a
word of advice to give people who car
ry steel-rod umbrellas IN wet days.
They must keep a sharp lookout for
arc lights while pushing their steel
rods through the air. OF course this
only applies when the current is ON,
and when it is, if the umbrella rod
comes in contact with the lamp, there
is a strong probability that the holder
will be very badly shocked if not ser
iously injured.-New York Tribune.

Who wrote these words7 A boy of IS
named Bayard Taylor, as he looked
proudly upon an autograph Charles
Dickens had given him, and felt with
in him that fire of ambition which was
never quenched.
The Quaker Of the little town of
Kennett square, near Philadelphia
who was born in January IL, 1926
grew to be very fond of books, and of
ten when sent to rock the baby would
forget all about the crying infant, so
deeply would he be absorbed in a
story of travel or delightful poem.
His father was a poor farmer who
had no money to spend on books, so
Bayard set out gathering nuts, which
he sold, and, instead of rushing off
to a candy store, like some boys and
girls, he invested his money more wise
ly in buying books. At fourteen he
was studying Latin and French, fif-
teen found him deep In Spanish. AT
seventeen he was no longer the pupil,
but the assistant in the school. The
story of his life with it's deep shad-
ows and bright lights, is beautiful and
full of inspiration.

Death From SuROcattOn.

AS a result Of elaborate investiga-
tons, DIR. J. s. Haldane has come to
the conclusion that in colliery explo-
sions of deaths from suffocation are
due. not, as Is generally supposed, to
carbonic acid gas, but to the %epon-
derance of nitrogen and the deficiency
of oxygen. Life could be saved If he
GOLFERS could be supplied with oxygen
for an hour or so; and the y uthor shas
devised an apparatus for enabling a
man to breathe oxygen, of which
sixty litres are compressed into a
half-litre bottle, with tube sad aegu-
lating taps, supplemented by a wire
compress for the nose to prevent
breathing through that organ.
