DEAFNESS CANNOT DE 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 constitIi-
tionai remedies. Deafness Is caused by an in
famed condition OF the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. when this tube Is inhamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
Ing, and when IL is entirely closed deafness Is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to It's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out OF ten are caused by eatarrh
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 can
not be cured by Halls Cstarrh Cure. Send for

Delicate Prints on iron.

1t is a curious fact that has often
been proven by actual experiment.
that a delicate fern or other leaf may
be placed between two smooth blocks
of iron and have a plain impression
OF every rib and iber Of itself left on
the hard surface of the Iron plates
after they have been driven suddenly
together by the explosion OF stick
of dynamite. Another experiment In
this line and one equally curious Is
made with a smooth block OF Iron or
steel and cake of compressed gun
powder. A delicate piece Of lace Is
placed on the metal surface and the
disk OF powder is laid on top of the
fabric. When the powder is detoned
the lace will be utterly annihilated.
but its impression will be clearly left
on the metal.

SPEAKER REED
May Succeed Ex-Gov. Russell As Insur-
ance Referee,

The late Governor William E. Russell
was the referee of the life insurance COM
panies which entered into compact last
spring in New York, to prevent rebating
These companies included the leading
Now Workers and a number of the prinoi-
pal New England companies, including
the Phoenix mutual life and the Copnecti-
cut general life of Hartford. There was
some apprehension at the time of Re-
fierce Russell g death that the compact
would be dissolved in consequence.
A strong feeling is abroad at the pres
ont time in favor Of the selection of
Speaker Thomas B. Reed as the success
sor of Governor Russell. The New York
life ia in favor Uf this course, and 1t will
be sustained by the Phoenix mutual and
she Connecticut general, both of which
companies will vote for the selection of
the Maine representative. Goveror Rus
sell rendered the compact the best posi-
bic service, and his decisions relating to
the cases of rebate, which came before
him, were fully sustained. Speaker Reed
will command the same kind of support
from the life companies in the compact.
