OF course, the cause which led Mrs.

be matter Of conjecture. Close friends,
when commenting on the indulGent man

to account for her action. They advance

observed the many luxuries nj the command
of hcr sisters, She became discontented
with her lot and determined TO share these
advantages With them
Those Of her friends who have long
noted the hIstrio1ic abilities Of Mrs. Frark

splendid voice are OF the opinion that she
aspires to appear behind the footlights

the wife declined positively to make any
specific statement about the unfortunate
affair
She was somewhat amused when told OF
the rumorS concerning her matrimonial
misunderstanding, and in Response she said
that she had ha enough of married life
Mrs. Frank refused TO say why she left

she went to spend the summer with ner

Mr.. Hambletou was their choice for sole
receiver, it is asserted, although they were
willing to have two receivers appointed,

Deafness Cannot.be Cured


by local applications as they cannot 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 inaamed you have a
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
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but ar infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

Mothers Influence.

Who can overestimate it9 For good or evil
it is far-reaching. Her name, the first that
falls from the lips of the prattling babe, is
often the last whisper Of the dying sage. God

be shielded from those weakening diseases
which too often wreck their constitutions
and render them wearied, fretful invalids,
prematurely aged and ambitionless. DIR.
Pierce's Fayorite Prescription has done
much to emancipate woman from this thral-
dom and may be taken by the most delicate
with absolute certainty of benefit. For nurs-
ing mothers and all debilitated, or arun-

ative tonic to build them up. To those
about to become mothers it is "a priceless

be accessible to all men who have le-
